I was addicted.. from age 10-13! i was playing when school was done... to midnight.. Yes... I started getting really mad when i lost playing arena games ( i had a lvl 70 druid and a lvl 70shaman) And my family got the punishment from that... I often yelled at them.. :( I was playing like 4-10 hours.. My dad made that i could NOT play on summers... And i hated him for that... But in the summer time.. I felt like much happier.. But i started playing again in the winter.. And that was around 10-12 hours... It ended up that my dad delted my account.. Well, im happy that he did. this was going too far.. But now im 14. And i started playing. I dont get these huge mood swings anymore... i play around 2-4 hours a day now due to homework and school. Just dont start playing under 14... IT GETS MESSY!! Hi guys.

A true addiction means you cannot function without it, when you're not around it you're craving it to the point where you get grouchy, angry, and jittery. Simply playing it for hours on end does not necessarily mean you are addicted, it just means you really like playing it. There's nothing wrong with playing for hours on end if it's what you like to do -- as long as it doesn't get in the way of the other responsibilities you've chosen to have in your life. I.e., friends, work, family, significant others. As soon as you start breaking commitments to them, I'd say that's when you should become concerned. I mentioned in passing that I started playing WoW to some folks a few weeks ago, and their immediate reaction was, "woah! don't get addicted!" The stigma of addiction is automatically associated with this game, so it gets thrown around WAY to easily. Stop for a moment, and explain to others, what addiction truly means.

I don't know what to do about my sis. She spends 8-10 hours daily on this stupid game. She is soOOO addicted that she forgets to eat & in the matter of months has dropped from a size 14 to a 3. This is super scary!!!!!!! If you are worried you will get addicted - DON'T START PLAYING!!!!!! Hopefully my sis will come to her senses before she is down to childrens sizes- she is in her mid 30's. I think she has lost touch with reality. YOU CAN DEFINATELY BECOME ADDICTED!! I don’t know what to do about my sis. She spends 8-10 hours daily on this stupid game.
