'Addicted' to Warcraft? 12:29pm on 13 Nov 2008 I've played WoW since the live date, im in my mid 40's and play with a group of friends from real life (yes I do have one).

I probably do exhibit some addictive tendencies towards WoW, in that most evenings I get bored watching TV by 9 and find myself itching to play. This is probably more of a statement on the quality of TV these days than anything.

The parental controls thing is good as far as it goes, but i do wonder how many parents know about it and have the confidence to set it up. Both my sons play and when they were still at school I set these controls up accordingly. These days if they don't do their chores I disconnect the internet :) However as they have developed socially in real life with girlfriends and such like, WoW is becoming a very poor second best.

WoW is definately designed to make you keep playing, take a look at the Achievements system recently introduced, how many players have been trying to get those 100 recipes, or 50 mounts, 25 pets anyone? and so it goes on.

Anyhow, off to work out the talent spec for my Death Knight :)
