I only play WoW hardcore 2 or 3 days a week now. I work 5 days a week so I don't play on work days much ..maybe 30 mins to an hour.

I spend the rest of my time, reading, watching a movie or tv..or sleeping. My SO games as well..she plays more then I do because she only has to work 2 or 3 days a week. Sometimes I'd rather do something else..but it doesn't always go that way with her.

I used to play Everquest and I played that for almost 6 years. It sucked away too much time and too much fun..I learned from it and gave up playing 7 days a week.

I play poker alot now too

My suggestion, try it out and see if you can enjoy it, or just sit and talk with him...if he loves you..he should realize what's important. I would never let anything get in the way of someone I loved, but that's just me.

all i date are RPG kids. although when they're on their 5th hour and you have paraded around them in next to nothing and brought them dinner and all that crap, you want to flip the power switch on teh back of the computer.

and beyond WoW......guild wars., it is free online play, so its just the 40 buck game. you cant even comlain and be like, "but we dont have enough money for it this month!"

You should try a few out. To me, never having played a video game is like never having read a novel, watched a movie, or listened to music. Though there are bad games out there, that does not mean that the whole medium is in any way "bad."

No, the MMORPG industry needs to come out with World of Porncraft. Then everybody would be happy.

When we first got World of Warcraft, he said, "I'll only play when you aren't home. I'll sign off as soon as you get home." Now, he says, "I'll only play for a while, then we'll watch a movie, and then I'll play again."...except sometimes we don't watch the movie.
Sometimes he even says, "I can't talk right now, I'm questing!"

It doesn't really bother me a LOT, and he swears he won't be addicted.

I love my nerd, but wow.

What level is he?

If low, tell him that he can only level up once a day. If higher... one raid a week.

actually, i'm pretty sure they're in league. consider the following (originally posted on the Pally Forums):

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

The Purpose of a Pally

Ive noticed a lot of complaints about paladins lately, with regard to their low dps and limited combat options. But what players are forgetting is the main reason Blizzard programmed paladins. Paladins were not desgined to be hybrid tanks/healers, as many claim. Instead, paladins were designed to be played while downloading pornography.

Paladins have roughly zero amount of combat interaction, thus making them the perfect character to play while downloading massive amounts of hardcore pornography. Simply target a monster, hit "1", and minimize your window. Then sit back and enjoy amazing girl on girl action.
Because a paladin takes about one full minute to kill a monster, you can leisurely browse the erotic and pornographic fruits of the internet, without much concern over your paladin's welfare. After a mintute, I go back to WoW, and usually my paladin is still alive and ready to loot the corpse. This is what makes grinding so pleasurable and convenient for me; the abilty to simutaneously watch girls have sex with each other and level up at the same time. I doubt any other class has such an elegantly designed system, and I applaud Blizzard for their foresight in crafting a character that I can play with while playing with myself.

DPS? Who needs it? The quicker I kill something, the less time I have to watch my boobies. Combat interactivity? Overrated. Id much rather interact with the girls writhing on my computer screen. Yes, a paladin was created for the sole purpose of surviving a fight while you stream hot porn directly to your computer. That is why we have the high armor class, the healing ability, and the low, low, DPS.

As for PVP, nothing is better than getting into battlegrounds and soaking up the honor points while I watch girls take their clothes off for money. Only the minimum of interaction is necessary for a paladin to perform, and it is this very quality that I love most about my paladin. I doubt rogues get any time to watch porn while trying to vanish and rack up combo points, and I bet shamans havent seen a single naked breast while figuring out what totem to throw down before choosing which shock they are going to cast next.

In addition to grinding, we have several defensive options during combat that also allow us flexibility to download porn. Hammer of Justice allows us a quick 6 second glimpse at naked women while our opponent is stunned, and Divine Shield allows a leisurely 12 seconds of quality right-hand time. Indeed, paladins have cornered the market on the pornography during playtime of World of Warcraft gameplay.

It saddens me that many paladins do not take advantage of the main functionality of their character, and are in fact lobbying for increased DPS or more combat options, unnecessary frivolties that would only harm our pornography downloading efficiency. Instead, we should thank the fine programmers at Blizzard for crafting a character that is great to grind with while grinding your loins.

I think instead of starting to play this game I'm going to learn a language or something. I can see it totally taking over much life, heroin-addiction style.

I was engaged for about sixteen months when she left me because I was apparently playing too much WoW. I tried to log in the next day... my account password was changed. I called her house, her sister said she couldn't talk, she was busy playing WoW.

She broke off our WEDDING to steal my 43 holy priest I'd named after her.

Saved me a ton of money in the long run through.
