Today I set a new low standard for myself that I vow to do never again. I played World of Warcraft for 7-8 hours staight. :o I bought this game only this time only because they gave me a free month. Also there is'nt any good games out. I have never been addicted to a videogame this much. It's the Super Bowl weekend so I had this time to play this much. Still though I don't play 40 hours a week! Nor do I play wow for 24 hours straight for it's expansion pack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ru5imBot6g We're talking about a father

who almost missed his son being born because of wow! I'm in college right now but I still do my homework and everything. I don't get addicted as much as those people. They also have people in China play forever to gain money in the game. As well as people dropping dead (literally) of exhaustion because of too much playing.

I also noticed a Sophmore in my High School and how he acted. He usually was tired looking but he was social. He missed going out with friends though because of wow sometimes. So my point of my thread is, should there be an in-game feature in wow that just bans you from the game like a safety feature? Like no more than 3 hours a day? If Blizzard really cares about their consumers they should really take action on this I say.

I think they should have GM's monitor the time spent. IE, you play 6 hours a day, a notification is sent to a GM. If this repeats, they limit you dowm.

They're not that that money hungry. Besides, they've been sued before on this, I think.

No, I don't believe WoW should ban people for playing their game. That's silly. It's up to the player to decide how much is enough, and if they become addicted that's on them. I think Guild Wars has a feature where if you play a certain amount of hours for a long period of time, it says something like: "You have been playing for # hours, please consider taking a break and coming back."

I don't advocate playing wow, or any game, for extended periods of time but your basically saying to cap people's game time?

While they are at it, colleges should cap their student's recreational internet time to 1hour a day, so they can study better, and disable all game ports too.

Personally I think they should just destroy the game period. WoW is the most pointless, time consuming waste of life that I can think of. The game is so long and drawn out and everything is the same. Go here collect me ten apples. Go here and retrieve 25 goblin heads and etc. Plus it pisses me off because you have no real objective or goal. All you can do is level up your character and be everyone's bitch. If all those quests were so god damn important why wouldn't they just do it thenselves.
My brother plays that game all the time as well as one of my best friends and I've lost both of them to it. It'll be a friday night and I'll phone up Kyle and be like: let's go partying! and he'll always have some excuse so he can stay home and game. It's sad and frusterating at the same time. I don't understand how anyone could get addicted to this game or even play it for more than five minutes. Personally I can't stand gaming or sitting down for anymore than a couple of hours. But I guess I'm just not that extreme.

No. How much time I spend at my computer is my business and only my own. If it starts to interfere with my personal life, it's my own fault and it's MY responsibility to fix it, not the people who make the game. This follows the same trend of limiting video games for people's "safety", it needs to go. Take ****ing responsibility for your own actions or GTFO.

Edit - I would however, advocate a third-party program to limit game time. Just for parents or people who want to cut down themselves.

But seriously, a feature like this kind of works against the game, and also personal freedom. If someone is going to play a computer game so intensely that they die, that's their choice. Or maybe they have a mind susceptible to addiction. Either way, that's no reason to impose such a system on more moderate players.

'Nuff said. Not only is it absurd to think that Blizzard would limit their cashflow in such a manner, but it's just wrong to think that the responsibility of addiction is on anybody else except the player.

This interview is brilliant. You can see the guy visibly smirking when they destroy the CDs. This is because he knows full well that you don't need them to play. Go him.

This poll doesn't make much sense since they do ban people. Just not for playing too much.

Haha you'd think so. From a money perspective they want people to play as little as possible but keep paying their monthly fee.

1. Less bandwidth used.
2. Same amounts of money acquired per month.
3. Profit.

Glad I'm one of the people that think WOW sucks arse and either don't play MMOS or only play good ones. Something about level grinding just doesn't seem fun, period.

Instances would become pointless if that were the case.

My raiding community could finish Blackwing Lair from 8pm (including getting everyone in and sorting groups) to about 12-12:30 depending on how many times we wiped on Nefarian stage 1 (not often, but it happens). Thats what...4-4.5 hours??

But i do agree, some people just play from 9am to 12am almost everyday if they could. Something needs to be done, but when money-making is involved, its unlikely theyll STOP people playing. I mean, its a business and we're using the product. Some just choose to use it more than others...but its addictions like WoW that have an affect on society.

If they got those kind of people to play less (but not stop) then they would make more money. They would lake up less bandwidth and since they cannot level/get money or whatever as fast they spend more time doing so and are on for longer. If Blizzard were really after money more than all else then limiting playtime or encouraging shorter playtime would make them more money.

Imposing a cap on playtime would drive customers away. There's your loss of money. I know that 75% of my guild, as hardcore raiders, would never hear of it.

Sorry, but I'm not going to pay a monthly fee for a game and have it dictate to me when I can or can't log on due to time constraints. I and others pay for the product and we are entitled to play as long as we want. I don't understand how you see that restricting the playerbase would result in financial success.

It's not necessarily that either. I'm all for contrary opinion. There's no reason people shouldn't be able to criticize games in their own topics.

What annoys me is the ignorant, sheepish mentality from a lot of people here. It's the quality of the criticism that is so severely lacking. Most of them have never touched an MMO, let alone World of Warcraft. It's always the same old "WoW sucks" or "Oh, it's such a waste of time and money" that never goes beyond some parroted, superficial grudge born from not understanding the mechanics of games with recurring fees.

I'll decide for myself what wastes my time and what doesn't, thankyouverymuch.

I dont see how, as you pay weekly or every 6 months. Either way, they still get the same amount of money. The point is, if you restrict playing, less people will stay hooked, will then quit through annoyance etc etc.

Just because you open up more spaces on one or two servers doesnt mean you stop people playing. You just join a low pop server.

Don't overestimate the power of the EULA. They may be pumping their rights there but they still are based on laws outside the agreement. The most they can do is to send a notification to the player himself.

You can't put a restriction on something you pay a monthly subscription for.

Thats like renting a house, but for 3 hours a day you get evicted. You just can't do it.

In WoW one of the loading screen tips reads "Bring your friends to Azeroth, but don't forget to go outside Azeroth with them!" - That is enough to cover their own backs, along with the account restriction feature on the account page. If someone want's to play, who in the hell is Blizzard or anyone to say otherwise.

I concur, any game, in it's purest form is a snore. Same can be said for most things in life. The argument that WoW is only a grind is overused and redundant.

WOW players at least the ones I know are the most boring people I've ever spoken too.

Just out of curiosity how many "WOW players" do you regularly speak with? Just because you know Joe Smith from school who doesn't know how to interact with humanity because he's too busy talking about his latest purple loots doesn't mean he or she represents 8 million people.

Semi-offtopic rant incoming -

The grind, I think, is a neccesary tool in MMOs more than a game mechanic, really. In any other single player game (well, not all, but most), you're only competing against the computer, so "winning" is very straight-forward. In regular non-massive multiplayer games, you're only competing with the people in the same server as you, so most often winning hinges on skill rather than progression (even though obtaining said skill could be considered a bit of a grind).

But in an MMO, your character is competing with thousands of others like him, and without a clear way to "win" at the game, something is needed to differenciate everyone, and to give those who put more into the game a way to stand out from the rest. Hence - the grind. It still involves a certain degree of skill, but more important is dedication and patience, and obviously time. Sure, it's not for everybody, but few games set out to be.

Consider the alternative though - if only a casual commitment were required to reach the highest level or obtain the best skills/loot/whatever, then pretty much everyone would be identical, and that would make for an incredibly boring and monotonous MMO (anyone who's played WoW for long enough has had a glimpse of this already ;)).

Just out of curiosity how many "WOW players" do you regularly speak with? Just because you know Joe Smith from school who doesn't know how to interact with humanity because he's too busy talking about his latest purple loots doesn't mean he or she represents 8 million people.

Did you read my post? The person you just made up is who I was talking about. Ofcourse I'm talking about addicted players or atleast semi addicted players who got to max level in under a month or two.

...

I'M TALKING ABOUT ADDICTED PLAYERS NOT YOUR CASUAL GAMER. I THOUGHT THE CAPS WOULD BE GOOD TO GET THAT ACROSS BEFORE ANYONE HAD A KNEE JERK REACTION.

How could you possibly miss that?

Yes grind is a part of all or at least most MMOs and I can't speak much for WOW having only messed around with a few trial accounts. As long as theirs something other than grinding to do and being able to do that with other people competitively or working together I usually won't mind playing it.

WOW for me at least has been way too over hyped. Even the casual users I know freak over it when given the opportunity to try and drag me into playing. Still the first time I sat down and played I thought "Wow, this is the same as all those other MMOs I played in the past. Just with really small people, err things, OH GOD WTF IS THAT." Damn Warcraft being so mainstream.

And hey I'll bag someone for saying "I made it to level blah" outside of said game.

Oh yeah, people who talk about what they like should be kicked in the nuts. Bastards, how dare they? I'm so gonna KO the next person I hear talking about cars or football. I thought we passed the whole 'people talking about games are all Nerdy McHorrible Nerd' stigma?

I started playing wow again because many of my friends started playing and it has been a lot of fun. And I'm still going to play it for a long time, why, because there's no other multiplayer game out that I want to play. Fast pased games have dying scene around them or only the old pro's. So until TF2, ET:QW or Unreal Tournament 3 comes I'm gonna continue playing WoW.

And no to the banning feature. If you can't controll how much you play you can always buy a good old 9mm and shoot yourself in the face :>

Does anyone here not recognize the connection between rising obesity and health problems with inactivity? Numerous studies have been done proving this but gaming dorks just refuse these facts and it really pisses me off. I believe that people should be able to do what they please but when it gets that extreme there should be a limit. It's in there best interest anyway.

No, are you ****ing serious? The amount of ignorace you display and the huge amount of bullshit your spewing out makes wanna slit my wrists. You are judging a game I doubt you have ever played - along with the players -, and its people like you who get the video game cummunity a bad name. Most WoW players, even raiders have lives, and its a small minority that don't. I get along wiht my studies fine, my friends happy, my girlfriend is happy. The fact is you believe WoW players ahve no life, spread this around the cummunity and we get a bad name. The fact is your an ignorant twat.

As I begin to calm down I wonder why I'm doing this. I said it before, people seem to think dissing WoW makes them look cool. But it just makes them look like dickweeds. If you don't enjoy the game, leave us who do alone you assholes.

Then do it. One less piece of shit I would have to worry about. And how am I ignorant if I personally know many people that are totally addicted to the stupid game? I just call it like I see it. Sure there may be many people that play it moderately but there is a HUGE number of people that play it all the time and have no lives. You can't just ignore the extremists. I also know this because the same dorks are on when my brother plays. They're always on just like him. And yes I have played the game sadly. After about a half-hour I felt like smashing my head into my desk. I never felt so bad about wasting half an hour of my life. I don't bash WoW to "be cool" like you say either. I just think it's a terrible game and a terrible waste of life.

Yes, we are so labled in society as nerd and geeks, but damn if that makes ANY difference outside of middle school.

Your judging every single WoW player of your geeky brother and some ******s you know. Not every single one is addcited or life-less. I have a life, which is much more important to me than WoW. Most of my friends who play it do too. If you think its a terrible game thats fine, but there shouldn't be banning for playing to long because of a group of pricks who have no life.
And who the **** are you to call me a piece of shit? You know nothing about me save that I play WoW. Once you know me better in real life, and know me, then you have the right to call me a piece of shit. But not when your some ****ing ****** who doesn't know me.

Well call me an asshole spastic for bumping but eh, I was just saying that the people who'd play WoW over hanging out with mates, studying to get a job, going to parties are a bit screwed up in the head, not that every guy who play's WoW is screwed up in the head for choseing to play WoW over boreing un fun crap.
