            I'm a recovering Warcraft addict myself. I don't know why that thing is so addictive... To most people it can be very boring. Grinding is boring. But somehow, its extremely addictive. Even now I still get the jones to reactivate my level 60 gnome rogue (Ack! someone kill me! lolz)
            I still fight the urge at least 3 times a week to reactivate my epic'd lvl 80 NE rogue ;)

            Was in a solid group but then the leader up n got drunk one night and went nuts on everyone(not me) and pretty much distanced himself from everyone and it was never the same since and they all broke up.

            So i said fuck it and left the game all together. But I still want to get in and pvp some nights after some long hours of work to gear down ;)

            I was always better at pvp than pve anyway...

                As some one who still plays, at 36, I can tell you that the game is all about balance. Balance work, play, and relationships. I still have my stints where I will go 10-12 hours with a laptop right next to me, answering emails and such while my character is flying or doing other things that don't need my attention. I also spend time each day Reading, spend time each week playing Hockey and golf. Spend time away from the computer with friends and GF.

                I am very big into Balance. Take away this harmless release, you may find yourself creating a nasty relationship between the two of you. Your choice. IMO Pulling the Plug is not the answer.

                                11 millon subscribers rebilling monthly. The crack will only get bigger and better.
                                Gaming in Japan, Singapore and Korea is even more of an addiction, it's peoples entire lives here... for some.

                                Is watching TV, movies or partying all night a good alternative? At least its a social game. Try playing it with him, in moderation perhaps. Family bonding, turn it into a positive.

                                Games were the catalyst for me to learn about computers.

                                    Same here, I was a huge gamer that got more and more into computers and then starting tearing them apart and then started learning programming languages. I still game though..

                                            I kid you not...

                                            When I worked for Comcast tech support, this lady phones me up and asks me to turn off the internet because her daughter has locked herself in her room and taken the modem and the computer hostage, and she honestly did not want to bust down the door just to get to the computer.

                                            So I set her account to walled garden (no access except loopback) and hit the reset button. In the background I could hear her screaming at her mother, she was PISSED. She asked me "that quick? It's off?", and i'm like "Yup.. I click and it's offline... that quick. Call back when you want it restored, i'll put notes on the account explaining the reasons, so you don't need to go through any hassles..."

                                            Not a pretty solution, but it is a solution.

I have spoken to him about it and he says he just got so indulged with it. Hopefully I wont have to pull the plug but I am not gonna let him do that again and im hoping that this is another one of his fads which he goes through

                                                            pulling the plug isn't the answer, I agree but at 18 the kid shouldn't be spending all of his time walled up in his room playing games either. he'll regret it later in life if he keeps doing it. it may be easier to avoid life right now and live through this fantasty life that may "seem" better but in the end, you achieve nothing with it.
                                                            you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..
