My friend plays WOW.


I checked how much time he spent, by typing
/played on his char/acc.

3200hours!!!!!

That is sick.
They(Blizzard) stole 3200hours of his life by making him addicted.

The mofo only talks about WOW and the expansion.

He stopped training, he is lost.

haha what a waste of time.

That's nothing unusual for WoW. I heared somewhere in Asia Blizzard added a blockade to the game which kicks you out automatically after 4 hours of being logged on and doesn't let you in for the next 2 hours or something like that. Because there were people starving in front of their computers, didn't go to work anymore and all stuff like that because they were so trapped in the game....

World of Warcraft tracks exactly how long you have spent in the game playing it, you can type in /played to find out how long you have played for.

Ive seen screenshot evidence of some people who have spent over 365 days in the game.

That's an insane amount of time to spend in a game imo, but i guess if people who play this much have nothing better to do, why stop them? their clearly content to spend that much time in the game and not harming anyone else.

People in China have died playing the game, basically they stay up overnight and don't eat or drink because they are so absorbed by the game, they end up passing out because of exhaustion and don't recover, one woman has died and two guys i think lol.

[Bobby]

maybe they would be better off spending all that time building up themselves instead of a fictional character that DOES NOT EXIST!

go to school, get an education, a career. Something for yourself...

Why does it bother you?
you don't have to play games, and the people who do play games are not effecting your life.

Why do people say games are a waste of time yet they think books are great and give you knowledge etc.? Some games, especially RPGs are exactly like books.

365 days is almost 9000 hours.
If he worked, and even if he got a silly low salary - 10$/hour.
He could have made almost 90.000$ instead of playing that game.

That whole game is based on building up a character, to me it seems like work...and when you don't play that game anymore all that work was for nothing. Other computer games are about having fun in the moment. just MHO

The Difference however, is the time spent was doing something he enjoyed.

How does @brandon know the /played command if he's not a WoW addict? 

[Cromespyder]

i tried a 10 day free trial of WoW but didnt like it cause its too hard to play with a laptop mouse and i dont like sitting at a desk when im using my computer

The trial is nothing like the real game...
I play on private servers personally, can't be arsed to pay every month.

[Cromespyder]

The trial is nothing like the real game...

do you need to use a mouse to play the 'real' game? 

[m8]

do you need to use a mouse to play the 'real' game? 

Everything is configurable... most people use the keyboard to move (WASD or whatever), turn with the mouse since it's more fluid, etc.

jesus!!! lol, that is a ton of tome, how lobf has he been playing wow for?

I am not sure, 2 years I think.
He actually wishes his girlfriend would dump him, so he can spend
even more time  playing WOW.

When I called him he asked me :"I am gaming..... what day is it today?"
That freaked me out.
His brain is lost in cyberspace.
