I like Sarah i was soo pissed at my fience and his addiction with WOW, i google I hate wow and came across this site and a few others, but this is the only one that has soo many people with the same "problem". I never realized how many people out there felt the same exact way that I do. My fience started playing the game about a year ago, it want so bad in the beginning, he didnt play it everynight and we still had us time... now forget it... we got engaged before wow came into his life, and now 5 months before our wedding, i have been contimplating even going through with the wedding, but i keep thinkng about how much i really do love him, and all the money that we have and my parents have put into this wedding. The people that keep saying just leave him... its not that easy, when you are so in love, the very thought of breaking up with him feels like a knife stabing you in the heart... while at the same time, him playing this game... the lack of attention, in every aspect... the verbal abuse bc he is doing something importent with his raid group, when all you wanted to know was what he wanted for dinner... i have soo many mixed feelings about how i feel about him right now, and it sucks, i went 1 week recently without talking to him, and he didnt care bc atleast he got to play wow nag free... he knows he has a problem he tells me all the time, but he tells me that "it wont always be there" ... i tell him im affraid to even have children with him, cause god forbid i give birth on a raid night... will he even answer the phone if im not with him... or when the water breaks... am i going to have to wait for the raid to be over... i work with another girl who has the same problem with her boyfriend, and we keep joking about starting a a law suit against blizzard, for ruining our relationships... my fience say it wouldnt work bc blizzard actually has a warning at the beginning of the game that says they are not responsible for loss of relationships or real life...blah blah blah... but you know what i say... that doesnt count for me i didnt sign up for the game... i didnt agree to take that risk... i was with him before wow took over... and i dont know what to do...

Re: lets all sue blizzard!!!!
Sun, March 1, 2009 - 9:31 PMIn all honesty, you shouldn't think about the money you and your family has put into your wedding. You need to think about how things are now, and how they will be after you get married. If your fiance wont change now then after you're married he wont then. I've only been married to my husband for a short time, wow was in our life before we got engaged, but nothing like this. I've cried to him, i've threatened him, i've left him, and things will get better for a little while but then right back to the same thing. But if you and him really love each other, talk to him, let him know that you're having second thoughts about your marriage because of this game.
I only wish I would have acted more forcefully on it before we got married, maybe things would have been different. So do what is best for you and him. and i wish you the best of luck.

Tue, July 21, 2009 - 9:39 PMThe problem with your entire suit would be that the people you think have a "problem" have complete control over their own lives. THEY choose what to do on a daily basis, god gave them that choice, and the problem with the word "problem" is that it is created from a perspective, and perspectives are always and will always be bias. If there is a problem in your eyes it could be something different in his. Have you asked him WHY he plays? have you considered the possibility of deep rooted issues within himself or between the two of you? before you make ANY rash decisions you need to ask yourself these questions, why do you think it is wrong? if it were an addiction as you call it and he was addicted to meth or heroin or cocaine, what would you do in that case? IF you do love him and you do want to marry him?
in all honesty the fight against "gamers" and the gaming industry is going nowhere, and in my opinion is completely ludicrous. Unfortunately we live in a capitalistic world and no one is going to quit doing anything that makes them happy or makes them money.
