Addictions of WoW

Most of WoW fans are attracted by its mysterious history, beautiful screen sight and combat. There are thousands of ten thousands players have joined the wow world and become addictions. Lately, I will tell you many horror stories about players of WoW, some true and some fiction.

The stories have a wide range, a kid leaping from a building claiming to be reenacting a spell from WOW, parents not feeding their children for days due to their in-game needs, to a real life stabbing over a virtual theft. After playing the games online for a while, it is evident that some people will inevitably take the virtual world too seriously. It’s a game, meant for fun. There are plenty of casual players, but some take things too personally or too seriously. That’s when it begins to borderline on addiction, and becomes dangerous.

In an America where everyone is becoming more enlightened and in touch with themselves, there seem to be twelve step programs to help contain the addictions of every sort. Right now the kids are become adult who even grew up playing video games and still playing them. Video games is a method to escape from the toil of everyday life no different than television. It is just a entertainment way. WOW offers its players a chance to adventure in a virtual world that many of their customers are familiar with from the Warcraft franchise.

The online role playing genre however lends itself to addiction and competitive nature very easily. A portion of the game is attaining the maximum level; level 60 in WOW. Only the people who have achieved this feat can possibly hope to have any influence. At maximum level, one would think there’s not much left to do in the game, after all, there is no more improvement that the character can strive for. With the Player versus Player (PvP) ranking system, and “end game” content, that’s hardly the truth. Through the PvP system WOW has put in place, players may view their characters rating against all others that they play with. The PvP system rewards player for each enemy player they slay. The more foes killed, the higher the rating. Players are ranked on quantity rather than quality, meaning the players with the most time to dedicate to the game get the highest rank and reward. The “end game” content is mainly made up of raid instances, challenging dungeons and content that requires a group of forty people to coordinate and spend six to eight hours a night to complete a dungeon. There are currently three such instances in the game, meaning a raid group who wants to do all three, as they often do, would have to dedicate a minimum of three nights of eight hours to just those instances.

The majority of the subscribers to WOW are not these same video game junkies that would kill for their online world. Just like classic pen and paper role playing games, most of the players know the clear cut line between fantasy and reality. The amount of time needed to dedicate to a WOW game just to stay on top of the curve is more than any casual gamer has. The competitive nature of video gamers push many of them to spend more time than they can afford to have the most powerful character possible. Plenty of college students have failed out of college because of the downward spiral that WOW addiction can cause. Once a student gets behind in a class, they can become depressed. WOW can be a good way to take your mind off the problem.
