What’s the difference, besides money, with WoW? I’ve spent the past 3 summers wasting my time addicted to one game or another, first it was Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, second it was Battlefield 2142 and thirdly Team Fortress 2. Do I regret getting addicted? Yes, of course I do. I pulled myself together though, although it falls apart every summer, I ensure I get through school, I want to get to university, so I work for it, even if I do have a computer addiction, I still do well. By all means, if you’re interested, get into WoW. It’s no more addictive then any other game, most games will have objectives, or places you want to get to, or things you want to do, in Sim City it was always a bigger city, in Battlefield it was always getting those new weapons, in Call of Duty it was always getting those medals, with WoW it’s just about getting better. Yes it has money attached but it doesn’t mean you have to become addicted to the game. Sure, WoW gamers may seem more addicted to games, but other games just don’t get the media coverage I guess. As I said before, I’ve been addicted to games, none of which were MMORPG.
My advice to you is to make a wise decision. Yeh, it’s easier said then done. But if you can control the time you spend on games, and you feel like giving it a shot then do so, I’m not in any position to tell you ‘yes’ or ‘no’. I can say however is this, if you find yourself questioning yourself whether or not you will get addicted, then you will get addicted, and you should proceed with caution :).
Whatever you chose to do, enjoy it!
