My Boyfriend is addticted to WoW

if you aren't more important to your companion than anything besides your ideals/religion you shouldn't be with them.

The problem as I see it stems from our way of life. What can be said of a society so mundane and uninspiring that so many of its members would rather be endlessly entertained by computer images than interact with real things? I think these gamers are in general inspired enough to want more than the 9-5 modern lifestyle has to offer, but not clairvoyant enough to know that this virtual phenomenon is only a distraction.

Y'know the interesting thing is that there's probably a lot of people that play online games that think the same of people that take drugs like ecstasy or cocaine on the weekend.

i.e.
They must have uninspiring and mundane lives, to do that rather than have fun with "real" things, etc etc.

By "real" things, they're probably thinking of things like WoW.

:\
 
As posted above, VR MMO... man that'd be pretty cool.

Can't be too far away really. Just to be able to immerse in a complete different world, that'd be pretty cool.

Wonder how the problematic aspects of that would effect mankind. lol
 
This is really sad, honestly. There's no way you should stick around with someone who would rather spend their time on a computer game, than actually hanging out with their significant other. They are definitely not relationship material, and I feel bad for the neglected party in the relationship.
 
I think you owe it to yourself to move on with your life. Perhaps once he doesn't have you he will realise what he's lost and fight to get you back. If he doesn't, he's not worth it.

Yeah, I'm heartbroken. It hurts not being with him right now, because I know he's the one for me....it's just when that game is around, it takes over his soul. I just feel like he was completely fake with me throughout our relationship.......telling me he's in love with me, proposing marriage, talking about starting a family.......but he's willing to give me up for that game. He hasn't even tried calling/talking to me since we broke up.....it's only me who does the calling, etc. But I'm done trying to communicate with him. If he can't understand what he just lost, then he really isn't worth my time/loving anymore. I'm so depressed.:( I lost my lover, and my best friend.
 
I just heard on G4 TV yesterday that Blizzard (the company who published WoW) is now working on World of Starcraft which is their sci-fi franchise of the x-craft series.

Be afraid.
 
Oh, I'm sorry I missed the part where you said you'd already broken up. Sorry babe, it's rough. But at the same time, there is more than one *right person* for you, and this really didn't sound like *it*. Better things to come!

jesus christ on a stick, that sounds even more fabulous than the other one. i see my husband sleeping many nights on the sofa soon.

dammit.

=D


srsly though, those of you who are having serious issues with your significant others....if they are not listening to your requests to cut down the time, then you have a problem. for those of us who just have decided to mate with computer geeks who actually do listen to our demands, it isn't much of an issue.

i think it is great that my husband prefers to play some online game rather than football or basketball elsewhere. he is smarter than the hubbies of the wives i know who have that problem....and, he is HOME.
 
Man before this thread I didn't even know what WOW was. This thread gave me yet another "But at least I'm not addicted to...." 's when I go do my thing on the wknds :)

So far I've used...
"But at least I'm not addicted to golf "
"But at least I'm not addicted to fishing"
"But at least I'm not addicted to crack"
and now...
"But at least I'm not addicted to WOW"
 
When I first saw WOW before reading your thread. I thought WOW was whip them out wednesdays.


If you are not familiar with whip them out wednesdays it originated from radio djs opie and anthony. they have bumper stickers that say WOW and when girls see them driving down the street they wip out there tits
 
If that game can drive someone to ignore their new born baby and wife (my bro in law) then i am sure it can drive someone to not care about their relationships.
 
tell him you'll leave him if he doesnt stop playing/keep it to under X hrs a day, if he stays with the game your better off

i bet that now that you left him, he'll be playing WoW alot more.

Yes, I bet he is.

BUT, he's 20 years old, with no car, no job, no school, no responsibilites, and no girlfriend.


I'm 17, have a job, own a car, just started college, and I'm doing fine.



You do the fucking math, and tell me who is missing out on life.......


And aren't you a fellow gamer too? Cause you sound just like my ex-boyfriend from that immature response you posted about how a fantasy world is so much better than real life...And from what I've read about your personal relationship, you know, about how you've lost interest in your girlfriend....Maybe that has something to do with how much you let gaming control your life. Perhaps you should lay off the fucking video games and see how much your relationship improves.....8)
 
Whoah! Settle petals.

Threelibras: I don't think exarkann was trying to make light of your problems, he was just explaining a different point of view and I think what he said has alot of truth in it, if you stop taking it so personally and think about it for a second.

While at uni I did a major assignment on gaming culture, and it's true that people who engage in it find it a very rewarding past time. There are huge international tournaments held for games such as counter strike and probably for WoW as well. People do build pretty strong friendships within the game and it becomes an important part of their life. I don't think that gaming alone can be written off as a complete waste of time anymore. Some people out there are making a great deal of money out of it.

On the other hand, your boyfriend was being an arse about it. Nobody can deny that. He wasn't satisfying you as a partner anymore and he didn't do anything to address that problem.

You made the right decision for yourself.

Let's all keep the personal attacks out of it, OK :)
 
Beatlebot: It's true that you can get a lot of money from this game by tournaments, etc., but he wasn't doing anything like that. He hasn't gotten a penny from playing.

I took exarkann's reply sarcastically, because I felt that's how he meant it, judging from his other responses. my bad
 
Hon, don't sweat it. When I was your age (god I hate saying that), I always felt like the big relationship in my life was the last one--the end all be all. Before I knew it, however, someone else caught my attention and the world was good once again.

It hurts now but time has a way of healing all wounds...except cranial wounds--as i can attest to.
