I told this story in another thread, but I know a woman that is full on addicted to WOW and she ended up getting divorced over it. She would get off work, go home and sit in front of the computer until she fell asleep. She basically got to where she ignored her kids (forgot twice to pick two of them up from baseball practice) and never cooked didn't want to go anywhere. We would all get together and her kids would show up with their dad and say mom is playing WOW. It was sad.

The end came when her computer died on a thursday night. A friend of mine said he would go over on Saturday and look at it. He thought it was either the memory or the hard drive. she couldn't wait 36 hours so she bought a new computer that night (went to a 24 hour walmart at midnight) and installed the game that night. On saturday my buddy finds out it was a memory stick that was bad. A few months later her husband left her. Now she lives in an apartment with a mattress on the floor, a table with the computer on it and pizza boxes everywhere.
