the first day i played WoW, i knew it would carry me for years, my friend said this game is very dangerous, it is too good, it feeds us too much of what we need. i said you are right, there is something about the game that is all captivating on a strange level.
i decided to quit, and so did he after 2 weeks of play. after about a month, i found out he is back in the game, and he begs me to play, i join him, and 3 years later we are still in it, our minds rotting more and more, our bodies rotting, our relationships on stand still, our mind held in stasis. so much attention devoted to what is happening on our monitors, we are building nothing in life, we are setting ourselves back years with the behaviour.
but it didnt matter, aslong as we could AFK in ironforge and talk to friends about superficial activities within game that arent satisfying at all, yet we have no motivation to detour from it. blizzard did a good job screwing a lot of people up. they say many kids will need psychologists to help them after they have quit the game to get back to reality.
