allow me, WOW is no more addictive than Super Mario for NES was back in the 80's or any other game. Anyone who says it is, is silly.
The thing about Warcraft (and many other MMORPGs - Im old school Ultima Online player) is the longevity of your charachter. You guys know damn well, if you could have upgraded your fireballs in Mario to a super flame ball with extra damage you would have, and it would've rocked. In these games your charachter lives for much longer, the stuff you collect along the way adds up - unlike in mario you collected nothing.
I stopped playing console games way back with the Playstation 1 - it always bored me to play a game by myself, so I started playing MMORPGs a long time ago and the power of the internet and cable lines make this more enjoyable than ever.
Now as far as addiction, if you can't do your work during the day, knock it all out and then log on and PVP maybe you need to uninstall it. But this game is no more addictive than ANY OTHER that has come before it, or any to come. It's looking forward to the next level up, and getting the best gear that keeps you playing, there is nothing wrong it that.
Dollar for dollar you guys more for your money playing online games than console crap. Consoles cost $300 now, thats a year of an online game subscription. As i said, i stopped buying consoles with the PS1 - and have only played Online games and PC games since. consoles are for kids.
I only PVP, i dont care about quests or anything. I log on and jump into Battlegrounds or Arena etc, my goal is only PVP gear and to kill as many people as I can a day. Dunegon instances are fun as you get higher level, and i do them often to xp/lvl up a char. But you HAVE to know when to stop and do your work.
Having this game, is no different than any other game... hell, I played Ultima way more than WOW ever. Talk about addicting, WOW is nowhere near as addicting as other MMORPGs, its just the kids started playing this one...
