Question:
Who plays WOW? WOW freaks only!! My bf and his friends are into WOW(World of war craft)
They would play it all night. I played it once and thought it was the most stupidest game ever. What is so thrilling about it. IK some ppl make it there life. How does it help you?
My response:
World of Warcraft is a hobby. What makes it addictive is the social networking – their friends are playing as well. This is no different than them going to the bowling alley, playing a game of flag football, or playing pen and paper AD&D – they're just chilling online together, chatting while they do an activity.
It sounds like you're jealous of the time you feel he should be spending with you. I'd suggest you tell him you feel neglected – if you want to enjoy WoW, maybe you and he can play level 1 characters and he can walk you through it, and you can talk about other stuff other than WoW while playing, like movies you might want to go to, or where to eat dinner, that sort of stuff.
