Jesus Christ, honestly, this game is perhaps the worst incarnation of addiction ever invented - unlike drugs, which affect you physically, you get high, this affects you mentally. You get hooked by getting a free demo, what the hell eh? it's only $2.00... Then you play... and you don't stop.
It essentially awards you for running around in an imaginary world, whilst your addiction grows IRL <- Wowspeak. You are engrossed with beating this thing. You are rewarded a piece code, are accepted by new friends (all addicts by the way) Oh and did I mention these rare items are rare - As in it's like gambling like a slot machine, you're playing for a chance to acquire a rare item in the game - which may or may not drop in a certain location. So essentially, every minute you waste is a a few cents given to Blizzard the Company.
The addiction is hard to beat, because you become engrossed with trying to hit the level cap. It honestly takes 48 hours - 2 weeks of not playing to jump start you back into real life... You'll come to realize that in WOW you were essentially doing four things over and over, without ever really advancing. Buyer be ware, you will become addicted.
NOTE:
Methods for escaping addiction (A Guide from personal experience):
1. Run out of Money - but still can't get fix, you either do something desperate or illegal. If you still need fix go to private server.
2. Play until something breaks and stop.
3. Stop playing.
Literally, you need 48 hours for the withdrawl to settle.
Most WoW gamers lose touch base with their real life. And need to find it. Playing on a Private server will speed up the addiction process resulting in:
- Finding out how quick the game can be
- How useless it is/Monotonous.
- Ultimately Saved Time (you level faster so instead of wasting a year to hit 60 you do it in a week.)
Also I should mention, that the only people who don't bash WoW, you lay anti claims to those who are against WoW, are World of Warcraft Players themselves, and thus addicted. They cannot see what they are becoming, ignorant to everyone's help and what really is going on.
My friend had an 89 Average and was a shoe-in for an Ivy League University... He got World of Warcraft... He dropped out of applying, and lives at home with his parents. He has 5 Level 70's...
HM: "What the hell do you guys do?"
MW: "We play World of Warcraft, why what do you play?"
HM: "I play a little thing called real life..."
*MW and the WOW nerds watch, angered*

A game that sucks your soul! Should be played with EXTREME COUTION! Though the game is fun it is easy to get sucked in. Time in the World of Warcraft passes much faster then in real life, so what in real life is three hours in game it only seems like 30 minutes. DO NOT EXCEDE MORE THEN 5 HOURS OF PLAY TIME A DAY or life will pass you up! Please listen to me on this I know it took the realization that i had no life to pull away from this game!
<addicted World of Warcraft player> ZOMG im soooo tired but i got to hot level 58 so i can go to out land!
<normal player> dude u have been up for 18 hours strait get some damn sleep! ur guna start hallucinating.

Not as addicting as you might think. WoW addiction comes about when one plays WoW to fill a void elsewhere in one's life. Otherwise it's a fun game, very boring when played alone but fun and gratifying in a group.
I played world of warcraft seven hours a day when my boyfriend and I were fighting. Now we've made up and I haven't played in two weeks.

a game for idiots, often called midget or kyle. for those who drop out of school because they are addicted and find girlfriends on there and "fall in love"
midget: "Arukia i love you, don't go ahead without me i'll protect you!"
me: "dude get the fuck off world of warcraft! you're a loser!"

A computer game that losers play instead of doing normal stuff such as having sex.
Normal Man: "Hey, Alex, you wanna go look for some sex or live like normal humans?"
WoW Player: "No, I'd rather waste my life away playing World of Warcraft and getting fat."
Normal Man: "Dude, you're a loser!"
WoW Player: "So what's sex like?"

Possibly one of the greatest MMORPG's to be released. Very casual-gamer friendly, and a great community. Each class has different attirbutes:
-Rogues may stealth and deal massive damage from close range. Cloth/Leather-wearer
-Mages are a high burst-damage dealer from far away with good crowd control abilities. Cloth wearer
-Warriors are a staple class available to any and all races. Able to take massive damage and draw enemy aggro to them. All types of armour and all weapons can be used by the Warrior.
-Priests are primary healers and can ALWAYS get a group. By specing in the Shadow talent tree they become excellent damage dealers but are very fragile. Cloth-wearer
-Paladins area hybrid Alliance-only class combining elements of the Warrior and a weak Priest. They are popularly supposed to have 3 lives due to their many Shield spells. They get a free mount but have higher training costs than other classes. Can wear all types of armour.
-Shamen are the Horde's hybrid class with more of a focus on spell-casting than melee damage. Many see them as overpowered, as they can melee and cast well, as well as heal. Uses totems to boost their power and support groups. Cloth/Leather/Mail-wearer.
-Hunters are the only class with an auto-shoot feature, relying on their special abilities, utilised through their ranged weapons, to win the fight. They also get pets (a tamed Beast-class mob) and traps (Freezing, Immolation and Explosion). They are able to kite the enemy very effectively. Cloth/Leather/Mail wearers.
-Warlocks are the 'evil' spell-casters of the Warcraft world, able to summon demons to help them in combat - a good thing as they are very fragile. Unlike the Mage, 'Locks rely on damage over time spells (DoTs) to help them win fights, and thanks to talents very rarely run out of mana. Their pets range from the Imp (a glass cannon), to the Voidwalker (able to take and maintain aggro) to the Infernal (of WCIII fame). They get a free mount but training costs are higher. Cloth wearers.
-Druids are only available to 2 races; Tauren and Night Elves. Communing with nature, the Druids are able to change their shape to suit their situation. They gain a Bear form (later Dire Bear) to tank in, a Cat form to deal damage and stealth, an Aquatic form to breathe underwater and move faster, and a Travel Form allowing a 40% speed increase. Cloth/Leather wearers.
Rogues are master gankers! Half the player base has at least 1 Rogue character!

I'm a girl who's boyfriend plays this game. aka the antichrist. My bf didn't play this brain cell killing addictive game in front of me until 4 months into our relationship when he was comfortable enough. He doesn't look like a wow player, and we had a really good sex life until I watched him play it...major turn off. While he's on Wow I've actually been turned down after trying to initiate anything because he was in an instance with geeks yelling into his headset. Unfortunately it can actualy be the formentioned ultimate gf test.
Hey babe your roomate's gone for the night.
NOT NOW, I'm in an instance in world of warcraft.
