02-04-2010, 02:26 AM

My 18 year old son played the stupid game for over 24 hours over the weekend without even going to bed.

What's crazy is that I have to tell you to use caution.. Seriously, people are ridiculous about that game, he might beat you up in your sleep.

I doubt it. I'm 42 and still love gaming. It's actually one of my only outlets. It's actually funny going into cod and owning all the younger people.

It's not an addiction, it's an escape... real life is boring shit for most people.

If it was an addiction, people would be killing over not playing it.

yeah nothing wrong with being an adult gamer. In fact the game industry has spent billions trying to chantge the "image" of a gamer from fat chubby kid, to a an older college kid/ dads and moms for years.

i enjoy senselessly player killing the youth as well. I dont have acrtive WOW account at the moment but thwere is nothing more fun than being a Player Killer.

Video game addiction is real, not only is it an escape its an addiction. Theres been studies showing the increased release of dopamine while playing video games, almost the same pattern as heroin addicts.

Don't take violent or decisive action, he'll hate you for it. He'll get over it on his own, make him pay the internet and power bill, that'll get him off his ass and working. I was a game addict too and left home at 18 'cause of the tension. Of course I had to find a job to pay the rent and support myself and it's been a few years now since I pulled an all-nigher

because it's not designed to be fun so much as it is designed to be addictive.
same reason people get addicted to a gay ass drug like nicotine.

Be VERY careful of a boy that age being so "into" video games
If you don't get him away from it before it's too late he could very easily become a piece of junk.. and there's no going back.

That game gives him a sense of accomplishment. If he had something in real life that gave him a similar gratifying sense of accomplishment, the game wouldnt be such a priority.

Few parents of 18 year olds have ventured here and came back, but if you dare, get his login, and set parental controls on his account.

Be fair warned, he may crit for OVER 9000 on your ass for that.

Did he miss work? Is he hurting someone? Is he not doing chores?

If no to all of the above, I would leave him alone. If yes, then have a talk with him about responsibility. If it was his free time and that was how he chose to use it, I don't see a problem with it. Maybe use this as an opportunity to get closer with him. Ask him what he did while playing for all that time. Sure it may not interest you, but it interests him, even if he says, "You would never understand Dad." Say, "maybe not, but would still be cool to hear what you did."

Make it an opportunity to reach out to your son, not an opportunity to ridicule his decision and make him feel like an outcast.

Yeah sometimes cracking out for 3 days on a badass video game is great for yourself. (not kidding, been there, done that, for much more then 3 days..lol)

Hey guys, I'm new at DatingGold and now to GFY and this is kinda my area of expertise so I figured I can set the record straight on some things.

One of the main reasons why WoW is so addicting is that it's the never-ending pursuit of the brass ring; every time you get a good piece of armor or weapon, there is something else in the game that is slightly better. You can liken it to a PC; today you can buy the best, top of the line Graphics card, but a month or two later a better one will be introduced.

Don't be mistaken, WoW is in fact a very social game; it requires it to get any decent gear. In order to get the best stuff in the game, you need to raid dungeons with a group of people; each of which has very specific tasks they must preform in order to succeed. This requires a lot of communication between players and good teamwork.

I played WoW almost exclusively for about 18 months (I stopped about 2 years ago) so I understand the attraction to the game; it's almost the facebook of video games. Believe it or not, one of the best things you can do to help him reduce the times he plays the game is to talk to him about the game. Take a genuine interest in learning about the game because then he might take an interest in talking to you about the game rather than playing the game; gamers love talking about games almost as much as playing them.

Another thing you can do is suggest another game for him to play. There is a new MMO out called Runes of Magic that is essentially a WoW clone but doesn't demand as much time to make progress. Plus, that game is free to play where as WoW requires a montly fee; the prospect of saving $13 a month will entice him.

How I eventually quit the game is that I reached a point where I knew that 95% of the people that play the game would never reach, and I was satisfied with that. Sooo, if you get to know a lot about the game and can identify when he reaches a point where he is satisfied with his progress, you might be able to convince him to quit. I would NOT suggest simply pulling the plug; like any other addiction you could face a severe backlash.

Hope I was helpful.
