To the above who call those who like to play WoW or any other MMORPG losers, addicts etc... they are just behind the times. Many people who choose to spend some of their free time being entertained in a 3-D, interactive and very social virtual world like WoW do this instead of sitting in front of a TV. How many hours do most people "waste" doing that? TV is not interactive, is not very social and requires little or no skill beyond being able to operate a remote control. The same could be said for listening to music, reading a book or any other number of activities people enjoy. Good games, like WoW, have great story lines, music and are much more engaging than sitting in front of a TV not to mention the ability to socialize with hundreds of people from across the world.
