World of Warcraft

The most popular massively-multiplayer game in the world sucks in millions of fans, often leaving non-gaming spouses and significant others neglected. So, while you're rare material farming, going on a massive raiding party or kicking back at an Azeroth Inn with some guild mate, your significant other may look for a new person to form a real-life party with.

my sister plays this game pretty much from the second she wakes up until the second the goes to bed. she only takes time out to eat! and then she complains that she has no friends to hang out with - so annoying! if you want to make REAL LIVE FRIENDS instead of computer ones, get off your ass and DO SOMETHING. jesus. the occasional video game is one thing - guitar hero can really liven up a party - but this kind of game is absolutely horrid! i can't even imagine not having a life outside of a computer.

haha I agree with Stanc1955, all a relationship needs to stay together is a good blowjob...for both partners! But I suppose relationships CAN be ended by MMORPG's...it depends who you are though, if your some fat ugly couple that plays WoW together your probably going to stay together because...well you both play WoW...but if your some guy who is passing up sex with your hot girlfriend to play WoW then your just a f'n moron. I have played WoW for a number of years, but its been off and on, so whenever the hot girl would come over I'd put WoW down for a couple hours, bang the shiznaws out of her until shes happy w/ multiple big O's, then once SHE LEFT go back to playing WoW...there....relationship not broken up by WoW...now if you two live together thats a whole different story because once you move in with someone you can't stand them for more than a couple of days and HAVE to play WoW to get away from their nagging voice. hahah

I am a 31 year old woman - happily married - and I'm also a gamer, but so is my husband. He doesn't game as much as me, but we like to play a lot of two player games together. Games don't ruin relationships - people's actions (or inactions) ruin relationships. I get sick and tired of people blaming someone or something else for their own woes in life. Most of the time the responsibility should be on the individuals shoulder. Stop using stupid **** as a scapegoat, and take responsibility for your own actions.

F___ the game, men need to get back to the honey-do list and women need to apply the occasional bj.

Many of these games have become addictive and have made many to become socially dysfunctional and have allowed these games to become the idols in their lives. It is for this reason that the book, 'The Bible vs the X-Station' was written.
