How Warcraft Really Does Wreck Lives

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the something-to-think-about dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There's a great blog post about how World of Warcraft can ruin lives, it's written by a person that was for a long time a member of the largest council on what is now one of the oldest guilds in the world." This is a story that is very familiar to a lot of folks. I know people who are actively wrecking their lives and risking their jobs by playing too much of a video game.

    "a member of the largest council on what is now one of the oldest guilds in the world." Surely if it is now one of the oldest guilds in the world, it has always been one of the oldest guilds in the world?
    the set of "guilds in the world" does not include guilds that used to exist, but no longer do

    And to all you scintillating geniuses pointing out that there are much older guilds in the REAL world: no fucking shit. The "world" to which he refers is obviously the World of Warcraft.

    Mod parent funny! It ain't flamebait. He's talking about the South Park episode"Make Love, not Warcraft". It sort of illustrates the point the article is trying to make.
