The magazine Macleans has just released a new article concerning the game, World of Warcraft. This is one of the most frightening articles that I have ever read having to do with the game and it's effects on people outside of it. Here, the true horror stories of what this game can do to seperate 2 loving people, be it a girlfriend and boyfriend, or a husband and wife.

Please learn from these people's mistakes and remember, WOW is just a game, only a game, and to not lose track of the REAL good in this world.
Kristan's husband, Allen, began his love affair with World of Warcraft one afternoon about a year ago, when he opened a demo CD for the game and started playing it non-stop. Kristan, who is 23, assumed he'd eventually get bored. Today, the 26-year-old gets home from his IT job at 6, inhales dinner and plays the online fantasy game until midnight. This he does every evening, except for weekends -- when he plays from 9 a.m. until 2 a.m. "The last time we had sex was when the server went down. He used to bike and play football, now he does squat," Kristan says. He spends almost no time with their kids, ages two and three. "They ask him to go to the park. "He'll say, 'If I get off I'll die.' They build Lego castles to impress him -- they're lucky to get a nod. If it were up to him, he'd take a family photo with the damn game by his side."
