From today's issue of the Rocky Mountain Collegian, the school paper of Colorado State University, comes another article concerning the addictive properties of WoW and the effects it can have on one's schoolastic life. The article talks with several students who detail the reasons that they just can't break themselves away from the game screen, and touches on numerous other points that we've all heard before, but shouldn't expect to hear the last of any time soon.One student does have a good quote illustrating why he no longer plays the game, however: "I like to live, breathe and eat, so I don't play that game anymore."

"The World of Warcraft is classified as a massive multi-player role-playing game (MMRPG). There are more than 100 servers people can play on and about 500 people on each server."
Just one example of the quality of this article.
Hmm.. well she did say "more than 100" servers, so that's not completely untrue, but with an average of 500 people on each, that's a pretty low estimate of the 12,000 servers needed to house all 6 million of us.
Those 4-digit login queues must be a lie too...

I guess I am not your typical gamer because I only play a few hours and leave. I get too bored if I play too long. I know people in my guild seem like they never stop playing. I guess it varies person to person
