That should actually read *8 million addicts*...

That game should come with a warning label "CAUTION: World of Warcraft may cause you to lose your friends; spend too much time at a computer; forget to sleep, eat, bathe or go to your job; forget to blink or breathe; become a total geek; trade your children for virtual combat gear; and may have many other unfortunate side effects."

Anybody care to add to that?

P.S. I don't play, but it seems like everyone I know does. I wonder if one day they'll look back and ask themselves why they wasted so much of their time on this game...

Lord Krull

This could be genocide 8 million people are in danger of Kruul. Hes big he's mean and he could be the end of WOW as we know it. Civilizations get wiped out one by one forced to travel as a ghost until Krull and his minions have finished killing everyone. Is there no guild that could put an end to his reign. Krull the destroyer coming to a city near you.
Everytime he kills someone he regains 25,000 health. LOL

My name is Trish, and, well... I'm a Wowaholic.

But I haven't lost my friends, I play with them, spending new time with them since some are in other states. I habitually bathe , and WISH forgetting to eat was a side effect .
