WoW: My Addiction To World Of Warcraft

I don’t call myself a gamer. Yes I play games, I played a lot when I was a kid, but really, when I would hit a problem, I would abandon the game and move to another. I never really had the patience to stick to a game and finish it. I can count the number of games I have finished on one hand!

So when I tried WoW, I though to myself “Ok, this is going to end in a week or so and that will be it”. But no, I am totally addicted to this game. Why is that? Well, since it’s an online game, there is always a couple of hundred people on our server at anytime. If ever I get stuck somewhere, I can just ask for help and thats it. I also have a couple of friends playing this game with me. It’s always more fun to play with friends then alone.

I don’t know how long my addiction will last but I don’t see the end of it yet. It’s so bad that I’m currently trying to see when I could play this game the next couple of days because my mom is coming for the weekend. I’m thinking, once she goes to bed, I should be able to get a couple of hours of gaming.

I now understand my friends addictions to this game. I thought they were just mega gamers but I’m not one and I’m as addicted to this game as they are.
