I know World of Warcraft (also WOW) is the biggest MMO out there. 10 Million people are playing. (Is it 10 or 9?)

For those of you who don't know, WOW is an MMO by Blizzard (the creator of the obsessive Starcraft). It has middle-ages feel to it, with the standard quests, swords, levels, and the like. But now, this game has gotten some serious controversy.

First of all, this game is plain addictive. I do not mean that in a good way. People will simply play this game for days on end. In fact, some people have died playing this game. They simply stop eating, drinking, peeing, sleeping, and doing the other important activities to keep you alive. One more obvious thing: The game isn't even any fun. Its like any other MMO. Why get addicted to something that is no fun. You'll destroy your life. The effect will also take its toll on your credit card with subscription fees.

The game has caused crime. In China, one player loaned a firend a valuble item. The friend then sold it on Ebay for $1000. After that, the original guy got so mad, he stabbed his friend throught chest, killing him. Also, WOW players' friends (if they have any friends) have been kidnapped by other WOW players, and demand their items. This is serious shit, guys.

One more thing. Dell as recommended WOW as an accessory for their PCs. A voice in the back of my head has been telling me that Blizzard has been doing some bribery. One more thing is extremely obvious. Blizzard hold conventions to simply glorify themselves over other devs, and to promote WOW and Warcraft (and Starcraft 2). This is ridiculous. Blizzard would be nothing if it wasn't for the fan-boy gushings of PC Gamer and other magazines. Those idiots don't know what they are talking about.

So, if you don't have WOW, don't get. If you do, play something fun, like Dark Avatar (woot!). Guys, this is just my opinion, so don't scream at me.

Give me your feed back!
