So I figure this could go in Gen chat seeing it is about the players and not the game itself.

To start off this thread is NOT for your epic fails at a raid or how you were pwnd by a noob.

Seeing there are a few avid WoW players (myself not included) I was curious as to the affects on your real life persona. I have heard this game embelishes peoples lives and has "ruined" peoples lives.

Notice I put quotations around ruined. Meaning the game actually had no affect on them it was their choice to keep playing and not take care of what needed attention.

I have heard two seperate stories how husbands have been left by their wifes so that they could be with someone they met in game. I know both of these guys by the way, so it isn't just some rumor. Then there is the "kids wow account got canceled temper tantrum" on youtube (which is suppose to be real but looks completely staged.

So I am curious also if anyone else has had situations like the above examples happen due to their addictions to this game or simular titles or if you have heard a good horror story simular to the ones listed.
