Nono, you got me wrong. We brought those figures everywhere, mostly school to show off how incredible they were. Then after school we met with friends to endure the most challenging adventures our minds could make up.

The drift nowadays is to do things with your friends, but not directly.Somehow.

But there are of course good things coming along, like the possibilty to easily make friends all over the world, or stay in contact with them when leaving the country (as in my case).
I guess you could call MMO characters the new action figures, and why not? They can do 100 and more things than a stiff-joined Power Ranger or Ninja Turtle.

*You'd be surprised how many WoW lan parties there are. There's even a couple LAN room/computer maintenance businesses around the corner that I can walk into at about any time during hours (and sometimes after) and see 80% of the computers going with people playing WoW, L4D or, at one of the places, tabletop WH40K.
*The staying in contact bit is useful for people just moving out of a county as well as a country. Time used to be, you pretty much had to say your goodbyes and start all over with a new set of friends when you skipped over such a short range as a couple of towns. Kids should be encouraged to make more, sure, but the keep in touch factor is sweet. My earliest taste was with sporadic phone calls and games of Doom, Descent, Warcraft and Heretic. Now I'm still buddies (from casual to regular) with people all over the US and Canada that I've played Diablo, Quake, Jedi Knight and various MUDs with through IM, and would probably have an MMO base if I would've bothered with such titles as EQ or DAoC.

You´re right. I guess they are kinda teh new action figures. No wonder with all the shitty cartoons and animes coming out nowadays.
The thing that bothers me aboout it, is that with these figures, we used to imagine all the world we played in by ourselves, and the computing presents you a fixed, fully evolved world. Sure it´s very vast and detailed and complex, but in the end you fit yourself into something someone else has made up.
That´s what bothers me.

Both great add-ons, a lot of people use 'Necrosis' for warlocks, pretty handy for DoT management and the little UI has some handy tricks, you may want to investigate further.

'Cartographer' is a nice map add-on, reveals the whole map for you, adds co-ords to the map also, makes life much easier for finding things. You can also add notes to the world map.

As you are herbing, 'Gatherer' is a must have add-on, gives locations of all known herbs and is imported in direct from the Wowhead database. I use it for mining on my DeathTard, tho if you have grief setting it up, pm me

Have you been getting much help with your Warlock? I.e. understanding what the skills and talents mean to you etc..? Obv you are still experimenting, but there are some hidden gems in those talent trees I was lucky enough to get plenty of help from a warlock in one of the top raid guilds on our server.

get atlas loot while you're at it, shows you almost all the rare+ items in the game and where they drop. Recount and Omen threat meter are a must for raiding and shit so get those early.

Ive never played wow, not even the demo.

I think people get a peer pressured vision of the game, as addicts that get dehydrated like that asian and have no social life ect.

Im not stating that it isnt true, but im not stating it is neither. I think people can manage a healthy game/rl ratio, even with WoW.

I think it is unfair that people get "Abused" for playing a game that they enjoy. And autmatically get pushed into a stereo type that for most of them i believe is simply not true.

Oh not you as well

Anyway, it's not about addiction, it's about enjoying the game you play, whichever game that might be. But ignorance is bliss isn't it?

Or Fat_Swinub and marine etc missed it.

I would like to find out where that stereotype with "no-lifes" comes from.
Because it´s likely that people are attracted to this kind of game that had no rl-sociallife in the first place rather than losing it because of the game.
Interesting stuff.

I hated WoW, I stuck to WC3 which i passed numerous times. But one day, I gave it ago.. as a joke I made a character looking like Samuel L Jackson, 3 months later I was hooked. I got to the point I was playing 11-13 hours a day.. just on WoW. After a while I had enough, because I knew it was getting bad, I got my modem and smashed it. Seriously, I didn't use the internet for over a year (Severed my access to Bf2s.com too ) just to overcome it. Glad to say I don't play it anymore, ive gone to England for a second time, gone for a trip around east coast of Australia, landed a good job.

I don't care if people point and laugh, as far as Im concerned i've reformed and it's all in the past.

The temptations of Lich King (which I hear is quite bad) couldn't get me back there.

Gotta love all the 'wall hack' programs that you can use to find stuff. You dont want to waste time actually looking for the stuff. Sorta like time only servers for BF2

See in your case you need more self control. And in the end you found it. Lets hope that you learnt a life lesson through it

So I see a lot of talk about people having no lives.

Let's see...I work full time, I go out at night, I watch every televised hockey game, and shortly I'll be going back to school. And yes, I still play WoW.

I think Sisco10 was right when he said that the people who become addicted to WoW and have it become a problem for them are the people who had IRL problems to begin with and used WoW as a kind of escape. I play because it's fun, but I'm not anywhere near addicted to it.

That is probably the best way I have ever heard it broken down. The funny thing is it can be applied to all games.

And the kicker is, the same reasons apply for many people having drug addiction problems (or addiction in general for that matter).

And the "normal" people point fingers and talk and laugh which is a mechanism of pure self-defense as I believe. To seperate one-self from those out of fear one could become addicted. Even if the chances are low due to self-control or else.
