I've been with my GF for over 6 years now. About a year and a half ago she discovered this game called World of Warcraft. Suffice to say she spends alot of time on it and last year we had an arguement and just about broke up and she stopped playing it so much fora few weeks. Her basic routine is finish work at about 5 or 6 come home play WoW and go to bed around 12pm. If I don't cook something or bring something home from work she usually skips meals or eats snack type food.

I'm not even jealous of the computer as I'm not perfect (Xbox 360, Xbox live) but to me its geting excessive. I don't know if I want to be with her. I still care for her but I'm not really attarcted to her anymore. In a way I would rather be single or see other people. I don't know if I can even be bothered talking to her about it as I don't really see it changing and I'm not the ultimatum type of guy (me or WoW)

Life is great heh.
 
Sounds like extreme role reversal... you're in the right IMO. 6 hours of WoW is the definition of excessive.
 
I split up with my girlfriend of 4 years about 2 and a half weeks ago, because she had moved away and I didn't like Long Distance at all.

Your girlfriend sounds like she either needs to ditch the WoW or you should ditch her. What me splitting up with my gf taught me was that I need to think about whether I am happy or not. Answer was no, so we had to split up.
 
Just how old are both of you?

I think there are two issues here. A person playing for 6 hours a day is certainly lost. Everything (games, drugs, alcohol) in excess is an attempt to run from oneself or the world. Sure WoW is a great game (I sinned the same I must admit), but at the end of all things, you DONT want to waste your life on something like that. Do you care enough for her to save her from that thing? If yes what can you offer her in the real world that will replace all the powers that she had in world imaginary?
Secondly its your personal issue. Sounds like you dont want to be with her anymore. I undestand, people change and when they start a Wow marathon, they dont change for the better. This is what you have to figre out for yourself: why you feel that way and whether the "freedom" is better than a person who've known you for as long as 6 years.
 
Uh yeah, shes got an addictive personality if shes playing that long, and im guessing she's not in the best shape either.

Whatever. That ain't good or normal. Find someone else.
 
She'll get over it. Probably, I used to play RuneScape almost that much. Well whenever my Mom would let me play it. I don't anymore, because I got tired of it. I think that if you mention it to her, and try to work it out then you'll be ok.

Just don't be confrontational about it. Work together.
 
What's her name and your phone number?

I'll solve your crisis.

;)

Seriously: Make up another character and seek her out in WoW and kill her all the time. Make her get so frustrated with the game that she won't want to play it anymore.

That's probably an idea for a movie or a novel:
Young man loses girl to internet game. Young man enter internet to battle for her soul by repetitively killing her.
The peripety:
Young man is sucked into the game in the process, forcing girl to think through her priorities and instead rescue him.
Happy End!:goodjob:

Zardnaar:
Does this gf of your have any comment on her gaming, and how she views your purpose in her life besides making dinner?

You sound like you're both bored stiff by this relationship.
 
if she is playing so much, she will have a high level character. So the only way to be able to kill her is to yourself play all the time to be able to level your character up, and end up worse than her.
 
Zardnaar,don't worry about it too much,I am sure it is just a phase and she will be tired of it later on.Hell,i used to play Star Wars BattlefrontII everyday before work for almost a year till I got tired of playing video-games altogether.
 
Get a BUNCH of characters and group attack her. Look, Even a 10th level character can be overwhelmed by a bunch of 5th level characters.

I think that will cause the problem even worst than it actually seems.She will probably continue playing for the sake of pleasure of building a new character from scratch.Addiction is like insanity,doin the same thing over and over for the sheer pleasure of the anticipation for different results.:lol:
 
I wish my girlfriend would play Hearts of Iron II with me.

I prefer the ironic ending where she now leaves him because of his WoW addiction.
 
Warcraft is crack cocain on a CD-ROM. It can get pretty ugly.

People have been known to throw their whole lives away over this game.
