its OK to play as long it doesn't disturb your RL
too much playing will cause you to get bored with wow anyway, its something called as "diminishing return"
go to school, stay out of drugs, play with real life friends
and when you got home and time, play here :D
Just to note, people who play wow already made up their reasons why they should play the game (not saying those reasons dont make any sense), but sometime people rationalize for the sake of avoiding change etc. Better ask someone who doesnt play or used to.
I always took a WoW as my part of the world that's free of most worries. Use it like that and all will be good.
Play it in your free time, between studies and school etc. It's all doable just fine.
I quit wow 2 years ago, similar issue. But i started again and i'm still doing well IRL. If you love the game, play it, but just remember what is really important to you, with a bit of the right perspective you are fine. If you have issues with setting yourself boundries, then rather don't play at all.
I am going to tell you something crazy we did when we were 16.
Chasing girls, going out, smoking weed and get wasted, dafuq you doing 24/7 on gaming on that age??
Gaming you can always do, chasing girls and get drunk without feeling a bus ran over you will not be 4ever.
Get the fack out of here!
I agree with this man. I've played off and on since I was 12, I'm 23 now and I've played consistently since I was 18. I spent most of my teen years doing these things, and i ended up finding a girl through partying who played Warcraft. I spent the majority of the last 4 years playing WoW with her until she passed away. We spent so much time ingame, I don't have many memories with her in the real world. Prom and a few haunted houses. We always ordered in and our idea of a date was having each others back in battlegrounds or making a together raid. Don't end up like me or her. We both wasted our lives; it made us happy and it was fun but the ending is very depressing.
Listen man, you don't want to be thinking about this game 24/7. You need to think about your friends and family and cherish every moment with them. Consume yourself with love and serenity, not pixels and a video game addiction. We both need to let go of this game. I guess i typed this more for myself than you but I hope you understand what i'm saying.
