I signed on to find that one of the players I raid with had deleted his account. He cited personal reasons for the action. The personal reasons include his playing so much WOW that his wife felt very neglected. He would rush home to jump on the computer because it was "raid time". Raids lasted 2 to 3 hours. They were 4,5,6 days a week.

He is not the first. Another friend sold his account because HIS wife was jealous of the females he raided with regularly. She gave him an ultimatum and he complied. He later returned when it turned out that there was much more than just WOW causing the personal trouble. He has returned with a girl friend that plays WOW this time.

There are all kinds of 12 step programs for almost every kind of dysfunction and obsession. Is it time for WOW Anonymous? This is especially a good time to consider cutting back or quitting since the newest "expansion" comes out Dec 7.
