i love wow,its so addictive! my bf has a lvl 70 and ive got a lvl 50 hunter.i said i would never play the game but once i started i couldnt stop

there are a lot of women on bounty who play wow there used to be a bounty mums guild on one of the realms but i cant remember which one or what it was called lol all i remember was it was horde.

i agree with the addictive thing.
we used to play all the time me and dh both ran a raiding guild but to be honest packed it in when i was pg with our 4th child last year to be honest it was very stressful and i partly feel the stress from keeping so many guild members happy contributed to the mc i had that year (one of our officers also mc too a couple of weeks before me and i think stress was hers too). i realised it was just ridiculous stressing over organizing raids and peoples loot e.t.c i fell pg 3 weeks after the mc and we both took time out handed the guild off and i didnt play again until our 4th was about 4 months old.
have to admit i love the game again now we dont run a guild anymore infact i am not even in a raiding guild anymore as i found the ones i was in a bit sad for raiding being the be all and end all of their exsistences. i am enjoying wow for what it is now ..a game i level when i can and when i feel like it, i dont play nightly anymore more like 2-3 nights a week and i make sure i spec my toons out for how i want to play not for how a guild would like me to play in other words im not healing specced with my druid, priest or shammy anymore lmao.
the game is still a large part of my life i love playing it but life comes first.

GATECRASHER HERE! I've never played WOW (I'd like to at some point) but pretty much all of the family have played Runescape, which in similar in the sense you do a lot of questing and such.
I'm the only one who has carried on playing because I have the patience

sorry gatecrashing too.. i personnally love my ps2 and as you can tell from my avatar love final fantasy, however as a mum of two housework kids and my now ex husband got in the way (as rightly it should) months go by inbetween me picking up comp. However my husband who still lives with us for the next two weeks anyway is an addict.. I kid you not, he gets in from work about 7pm plays all night wont even sit at table for tea with the kids and if he does he is getting up and down to get to his precious WOW. His kids are ignored all weekend whilst he is home and plays it from when he gets up at 11am til he comes to bed at about 4am, he shouts at the kids for getting in the way of his keyboard... I asked him to watch our 1 year old so i could have a shower one morning and baby spent whole time screaming cos he couldn't leave his comp cos he was playing.. Seriously i can't believe someone can love that stupid game more than spending time with his two wonderful children
I can tell you this game is dangerous, it has ended our marriage, we had been together for ten years and i lost him to that game, i told him i was sick of him being on it all the time but he only managed to stop for less than 24 hours. even after i told him i would leave him if he didn't spend time with kids or talk to me he still couldn't change. So in two weeks time his time in this house is up, frankly my kids will be better off without him or that game in their lives all the time...

Im gatecrashing aswell, i play wow and have done for bout 2 years and i love it, i actually got my dp into it but i admit it can be very addictive expecially if ur in a serious raiding guild. Me and my dp have our own guild so we arrange all raids etc. I had my twins 3 weeks ago and just started playing it again today while they r asleep.
Some people do take it waaay to seriously which is a shame cos it is a really good game, and a great stress relief lol when ur doing battlegrounds and kicking alliance butt lol.
Although i agree with u ladies and can see why u hate it when ur partners r addicted to it... they will have to understand that they cant do raids 6 nights a week when they have a family to look after.
If the guild they r in wont understand that then they should find a less serious guild to be in. They will find one easily if they r 70 and have good gear.
Good luck ladies
and guys xx

Came onto this forum as DH might end up being a SAHD soon. He lost his job a few weeks ago and I was made redundant whilst pg.
Couldn't believe it when I saw this thread as I am a WoW widow of the first degree. We have had endless rows about it and he admits he's obsessed with it. He will leave a it if I ask him to help me out and despite being at home all day, he's not been as bad as I thought he might but he dedicates an enormous amount of time to it and it's upset me loads of times. PC's in the lounge so every night and a lot of the weekend I have to listen to him talk incessantly some nights to his "raid buddies".
He plays it every evening from about five til midnight, 1am and for several hours over the weekend. (although he will help me with the dinner and putting the kids to bed as long as it's before a bloody raid though!) When he was working, he'd come in and one of the first thing's he'd do is turn it on and I'd be so upset cause I wanted that to be family time. We argue, he promises to cut down and he says he really enjoys spending quality time together but the time he spends on it creeps up and up again. He NEVER ever comes to bed with me either regardless of how late it is. He gets antsy if I say I'm going out if he's planned a "raid"! How sad is that! He does realise that I'd go mental if he used that as an excuse for me not to go out so he generally bites his tongue but I can SEE him panicking!
One thing that does really annoy me is that he'll happily chat for hours to these strangers yet he barely speaks to me in the evenings. I'm resigned to it now and can only hope that he'll one day be like some of you Dads and realise that his family are more important than this stupid all comsuming game. I couldn't bear to play it, it's a complete waste of time. I'm scared if he is a SAHD he'll plong the kids in front of the TV and just play it all day although he promises that he won't. But he also promised that he wouldn't play it at all in the day after he lost his job and that promise got broken the day after! He's playing it more than ever.
My DH is a fantastic Dad and a wonderful husband in all other ways and when he does spend time with us, he's the best. Just wish Blizzard would go under and the stupid game disappear!

my bf play's wow loads and he has a daughter who is 4months old and i think he need to speak to other dads who play wow so if u wanna add him on msn to get his game char his msn is aaron_155_@hotmail.co.uk
13/11/07 00:41
Can't believe i'm going to do this but yes i hold my hands up i used 2 play WoW a lot. Nowadays though i only play it when my wee boy is in bed. It would be better if there was like an active pause button on it though lol
12/11/07 13:00
Ok im gate crashing (due in April mum) - get her her own world of warcraft acount - you can have loads of fun questing together - just remember what chat you are speaking in though!
Seriously there is nothing wrong with playing wow - its fun and yes us mums play it too!

thats in response to
[QUOTE]i think ive walked into the wrong site???? thought this was bout kids and helping talk bout preg and all that???[/QUOTE]7/11/07 11:24
err, thats rather obvious just look around the site. this is about men spending too much time on the computer when they could be spending more time with the baby. which is absolutely relevant.

I used to love this game, I bought the Add-on and then 3 days later my LO was born.
I have never played it since
3/11/07 20:21
Hey fellas , Im just gatecrashing too !!! Reading what dads have to say and I agree with the ladies , WOW drives me mad , in fact thw only time my dh goes on forum now is when Im asleep after numerous rows !!
So now im hogging the pc and making him watch xfactor , but for all you men , if your partner is giving you greif its because it can get too much !!!!! It seems to be a dreadfully addictive game .. relationships & babies are more important x x

Its a nightmare they should put a pause feature on it as i cant get my df off it straight away when needed as hes always stuck in the middle of a group dungeon thingy. he 's addicted to the thing he used to only play it while lo was in bed but hes usually stuck on it when lo awake cos he cant get of it. Can you tell i cant stand it think its addictive
