I was addicted playing 3-6 hours a day after school. I’m 15 and in high-school. My laptop(withWoW on it) well the hard drive recently crashed. It was almost a relief and unknown feeling right now. My grades were slipping and before I had around 3.8 GPA and now I have a……3.2. I’m now recovering my make up work that I didn’t do because of all the WoW playing at night. Im not saying don’t play because its a great game. I’m endorsing the parental controls. When my new hard drive gets back up I’m going to ask my Best friend to enable that for me at about 3-4 hours a day and then gradually lower is as I progress to the end of school. Also I’ve known this to happen. When I was playing 8-13 hrs a day during the summer. I gradually just stopped like the game and became less addicted. This happened with me and probably not a significant amount of people but if you play to an excess amount; some people may start to dread the game and therefore disliking it.

Just get your parental control running and let a friend choose a password without telling it to you, that should keep you from getting too addicted.

I’m only gonna start playing WoW when I’m retired, because then I’ll really have nothing better to do. Haha.

Id say dont start playing it unless you really do have a balance in your life – atm i am like recovering from a deadly wow addicting lol.. my 3 years of playing wow have caused me to stop eating, sleeping, even dropped out of school because of the addiction..
the day i actually noticed how bad it was and that i needed to stop playing this was when i was in the hospital being fed from tubes and all that crap

but thats just me all addictions are different,somehave it worse then others

Hi guys.

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!!
