My freind's cousin has a problem with WoW and needs some video I found on one of the posts and show it to her, and I can't find it.

I think you understand why I'm depressed and worried now. I want to break away from WoW. I am tied tere not by lack of joy or entertainment otherwise, which I can glean from art, but by the truest friends I have had thus far. I have no fear of them betraying or backstabbing me in any way. No social ladder to worry about, common interests (aside from WoW) to share, knowledge of the world to impart

She said that. She needs to face reality according to Josh. Much thanks if someone could find something like that.

There is a way to break a WoW addiction. And that is to think about how you will ever advance to new content (impossible if you dont raid). If you do manage to make it to raids, you will learn that farming for gold is useless, and that you can only come on for those raids and get out some.

I had MC for 3 months and BWL for 2 months, only coming on 2 times a during the week for 2 hours each then the Saturday for the 4 hour or so raids. Soon you'll see that the game is pretty limited and no fun. There are no 'secret' stratagies no uber plans. Everyone has tried everything.....

Sometimes being social about WoW and talking about its story in real life is also a good curb. Don't let the game and the desire to gain respect in a virtual world take control of you. Sometimes you think its fun to kill people and do things, but in truth its just your mind believing that your getting respect and kudos.

A reminder for your friend's cousin about how RL is where it counts may be in order. Try downsizing the addiction to oldie and fun console games like Goldeneye or Mario 64, Megaman X4 etc, it worked for me.

The reason im not trapped in runescapes world today is because i was able to break off of it. All you need to do is find another game to play:D

With seriousness in all, I know one way. Make a character on every race, and play around with those for a while. After a while you will get bored with one race, and move onto another. after doing the same things over and over, you will eventually grow tired of it. Its a slow process, and may take weeks, but breaking off addictions is never easy. just remember what your doing it for.
