Lame
Don't you think you're a bit late with this video? Like 12 years or so.. especially now that people are massively quitting wow 😅
Bro what do I do I’m so addicted to classic I just played 9 hours straight after work leveling mining. Sacrificing sleep before work and not eating. What do I do?
Its afterall the best MMORPG out there. so why play something else ^^ i dont see why all the world say it hass become a bad game. i never felt that. People changed.. not the game. It has the best combat system i have ever seen in many diffrent genres.
And me myself. i have a Emotional disorder. i try to have a Family, buw Womens just dont like me im too Stressful for anyone. so i live only in Game. then WoW feels comfertable. It makes me feel live again.
For me it's like a D&D simulator. I always wanted to play D&D but I never had friends who would want to try it out or never knew anyone who played it so this is like my substitute. And it is good escapism to lose yourself in a fantasy world where the players are real and breathing and you can build friendships by just questing with some random stranger who is leveling and make rivalries with another faction who has the same goals as you.

The horror stories I heard from my friends scared me away from WoW for good, never played it because I was too scared to. My roommate in college had carpal tunnel playing WoW when it first came out. Many times we'd be going out to dinner or to hang out and he wouldn't come with us because he had these raids. He always justified his excessive playing by telling us even worse stories – one of his friends would play WoW all day and all night and never leave his room, he would order food in and buy those big 2 liter soda bottles. Eventually he started peeing in those big soda bottles instead of going to the bathroom, and would not throw them out for days. So he often had all these 2L bottles of pee lined up against his bedroom wall. One day he knocked one over by accident, and the pee somehow spilled out onto the power strip and into his PC (they were all computer science majors so all their PC's were without the outer shell for easy access and modification), and the pee fried his PC. That was the most outrageous story I've ever heard about a computer game, and it scared me off of WoW forever.
these types of games are set up to be as long and tedious as possible to suck your time away from you
I was addicted at the age of 12. IDK if WoW conditioned my reward system or I was always going to be like this but in my life I've been addicted to women, porn, alcohol, weed, vaping, and even healthy things like gym, nutrition, and being a workaholic. It's funny how the game relates to real life where people are able to do repetitive boring tasks just for anticipated reward or for progression. Today I have found a way to abstain from all my unhealthy addictions because I am in pursuit of perfection; I live like a monk. Nowadays I find most games are disgusting in the way that they take advantage of our monkey brains and dopamine system to make us addicted and waste our time and money.

great explanation
Came bk after stopping for 9 years
I believe it is because MMORPG games reveals how flaw our current society is. And to jump into a world where everything is unknown and the ability to explore and progress in a linear fashion is something we all deeply want. Our current society has force the majority of people in a state of endless handwork at a job but no progression or opportunity for growth. I could add more to this but yall know where im getting at. Its addictive because in a virtual world you are truly independent from other people and death itself.
For me it’s the freedom of choice and the variation of said choices.
You don’t have to adhere by any rules, you don’t have to be a hardcore raider or a mythic pug runner, you can enjoy the game in any form possible.
Arguably you can have an amazing solo experience and do it at your own pace. Now granted BFA and Shadowlands had a lot of big lore holes and bad writing but Dragon-flight so far has been great and the fact that they have enabled replay ability via players option to choose any expansion bounce between them for the lore is what makes the game great.
Been playing it for 12 years now and not planning to stop. Definitely was more addicted to it in my teens but now being an adult pushing 30 I’ve realized that I can always come back to it
I always viewed it as gambling, just like poker or a complex card game you have 9999999 ways to roll 9999999 dice at various points in the experience in order to progress and achieve the fun you desire which is a particular act be it pvp, pve, role playing, leveling toons, twinking etc. – it's kind of like real life, decisions and actions can yield progression in your task of choice.
Same thing with politics. It becomes an obsession and brought me down a dark path
I've no longer looked at WOW as a game, but my life. What mog I have is who I am. But it doesn't even matter. No one cares. So I've decided to quit because of who I was becoming.
I never got addicted to WoW… I only raid logged and then would go play a different game afterwards.
thanks for talking about the very real and increasingly common issue of gaming addiction
I’m addicted to the game.
I learned about this game thanks to my uncle, I was 10 years old and I was watching him tanking BWL last boss on his mighty warrior named Ramhmandin, i remember that stupid sound that ventrilo did back then.
I was totally blown away by the game, I went to him more and more often to watch him play. I didn't have many friends and not even a dad to show me football or men's work, but my uncle made up for it a bit.
Then it was Christmas and my family was in mourning because my grandfather died so the atmosphere wasn't very happy but when I unwrapped my present and saw the green box with the words World of Warcraft the Burning Crusade I was so much happy.
My uncle paid me a monthly subscription and we played side by side, I created a Night Elf hunter called Razazki, I didn't understand much English back then so I had no idea what to do, I managed to do a few quests but otherwise I just killed mobs.
Obsessed with the game, free time, no friends, bullied at school but I had an uncle and WoW and killing mobs continued, this is how I got to lvl 44 and I was in tanaris. I remember that my uncle pressured me when I would have max level so we could go raids together, I have no idea how much I had /played at that time, but it could have been maybe 30 days.
So he decided that his friend would level me up to make it faster because i would be 70 on my own in like 1 year just grinding mobs lol 😂
And so i gave him a name and password (i know very bad idea) and in about a week my uncle called me saying that I could log in to the game. I signed up but I was a little disappointed my character was not max level, it was 61 but I was still very happy. It was chaos for me, I had scattered keys, many spells on the action bar, and a different pet than the one I was used to. I didn't know where to go or what to do, I was lost and I wasn't enjoying the game anymore.
In December 2008, I received a gift from my uncle, I excitedly opened the gift, I saw a blue box of WoW Wrath of The Lich King.
I was so happy that I went to install it the same day. My uncle was already lvl 80 playing unholy death knight.
I wanted to play my hunter but it didn't work for me. So I made a new paladin character because uncle and his men needed a healer.
But I didn't enjoy this class at all, maybe it was because I was a noob and I played in holy spec 😅
So I tried other classes, I had the whole list filled, I enjoyed something from each and I couldn't decide. I ended up making a death knight because I wanted to be as badass as my uncle.
I enjoyed being the scourge of all living things, a creature under the will of the Lich King himself, sowing fear and hopelessness in all living things, a master of unholy, blood, and frost magic, a ghoul summoner. And I got to level 78 and where I also stopped playing for a while. Then Cataclysm came out, my uncle showed it to me and asked if I liked it and if I wanted it, I said it was up to him. I finally got it and installed it played for a while but never got to max level which is a shame because I wanted to play with my uncle, we would do everything PvP and PvE together. Then Pandaria came out, I asked my uncle if he still plays because I haven't seen him online for a long time, he said no because he doesn't have time for it anymore and because WoW isn't what it used to be.
So I also stopped playing, firstly because my uncle stopped paying for my subscription and secondly, I didn't have the Pandaria upgrade.
Two years later, my aunt, my uncle's wife, called me that my uncle had died by hanging. It later emerged that he had major depression and anxiety. I have never been so sad in my life.
I tried Shadowlands and played my warrior, I tried PvP a few raids, torghast, it was a pretty good expansion but very unbalanced.
I don't even know if I want to try Dragonflight anymore.
So here I am in the private Wotlk servers, reliving the past all over again.
I don't know if anyone will read this far 😅
But the memories are what keep us drawn to the game.
my relationship with my partner ended because of their addiction to wow, i can tolerate games as im a gamer myself but day after day after day they would isolate and give up on anything that didnt have to do with wow, eventually our relationship was next on the chopping block
i still hope one day theyll wakeup and find happiness in things other than wow, i still sit here in disbelief and devastated that all our plans for life together, marriage, kids etc.
its all just gone because they wanted to increase their gear score
i still love them so so much, even when theyre not there anymore
It's a fantasy I want to live out. World of warcraft released when I was 13 years old😂 but I didn't get my first pc until I was 20-ish and I didn't try wow out til I was 30. I refuse to spend money on it for now. I love elderscrolls online. But I'm level 13/20 on WoW before subscription. I don't have the time to pay monthly and only get like 10-15 days of a month worth out of it if it's all I take time to play.
i got 6month subscription and i love it cuz i love questing and exploring…even i met good people and they just helped me
Nope, haven't been back since the start of BFA and zero intention of returning.
I am well and truly over WoW.
played it once and never again
7:23 haha that made me laugh
I deleted my character and quit cold turkey, I cannot recover my character I tried. (Wintersaber tiger + Full warrior of epic's up to AQ40) Gone Gone Gone forever
You never quit you just took a break, Quitting is fucking HARD.
Few years and I still wake up wanting to go back, I have not loaded the game once since.
