Anyone else use this game as a replacement for their actual life?

I currently don’t work, I have no relationship and my only friends live hundreds of hours away. So I spend every waking moment on WoW. It has replaced my real life.

My troll rogue is my best friend and I love him.

I was so excited today because their were world quests everywhere and I have been busy like a bee. :slight_smile:

I never ever leave the house so WoW is the only contact I get with the outside world.

I haven’t celebrated christmas or new years properly in 8 years, just spent them on my own in WoW.

I am perfectly happy to continue this way and want to live in WoW for the rest of my life.

The only time I stop playing is for biological reasons like needing to eat or use the toilet. When I do those in real life I make my character do the /sit emote until I am finished. I log my character off in an inn so that he sleeps the same time I am asleep.

I am currently developing feelings for Kalecgos which I realise may end in heartbreak as he isn’t actually real.

Anyone else have WoW instead of an actual life?

I always did this back in BC when I started, always looked for a free bed, did the sleep emote and logged out. Had a long break though (moving out of country, having full time job, etc), now I’m playing when i have free time. Helps to keep my brain busy with story and scenario building, although having a hard time keeping a main and sticking to a character and developing it for RP and such.

If the server goes down for maintenance I go and lay in a dark room with WoW music playing loudly until it comes back up.

I wondered why he got so many likes to fast, then I saw he literally alt-liked himself 10 times.

Hey man, when are you going to create an alt with my name as well? I feel left out.

it’s important to take everything in moderation even World of Warcraft. now and then it’s healthy to go out for a nice kebab or hit the gym.

definitely not. I play just for short time. I prefer go outside and hike.

I’d consider giving it all some thought. If you are healthy and happy, that’s good, however what you said about doing when the servers are down sounds pretty much like an unhealthy obsession. Ain’t a doc, so can’t say, just tell you that it’d be best to be careful.

You should consider doing some volunteer work or finding a hobby where you can make more friends where you live.

I suspect you probably aren’t alone OP.

I remember there was once a website called ‘WoW detox.c.om’ or something similar, and people would write on there how the game robbed them of their lives, and how some of them broke free, etc etc.

Remember though that this is just a game, and although fine on a temporary measure, WoW isn’t a longterm solution to escaping life problems
