A woman was addicted to WoW and she would often talk to her in - game friends as if they were right there with her. One day, she was at the grocery store and accidentally asked the cashier if they had any 'WoW - gold - for - sale' items. She blushed when she realized what she'd said. It was really funny how the game had seeped into her real - life thoughts.
One horror story could be about a player who was so addicted to 'wow' that they neglected their real - life relationships. They stopped going out with friends and family, and their social skills deteriorated. All they could think about was the next quest or raid in the game.
There was a player who got really addicted. He once stayed up all night during a big in - game event. His friends thought he was missing and were about to call the police. But then they found him still glued to his computer, yelling at his guild mates in WoW. He had completely lost track of time and it became a running joke among his friends.
Once, during a PvP battle in Vanilla WoW, this one player thought he was invisible but actually his cloak had a glitch and it was showing his character clearly. He was trying to be all sneaky and ambush our group but we saw him coming from a mile away. We just let him get closer and then took him out easily. It was quite a laugh.
Sure. Once, a wizard in World of Warcraft accidentally turned his own pet into a giant, bouncy ball. His pet just hopped around everywhere instead of fighting enemies, and the wizard was so confused trying to figure out how to turn it back.
Sure. There was a guy who was addicted to collecting unique bottle caps. He would go to every corner store, bar, and even dumpster dive to find rare ones. His collection grew so large that he had to build extra shelves in his house just to display them all.
Sure. There was this one time in WoW RP where a gnome mage accidentally turned his own pet into a giant chicken. The whole guild was in stitches as the chicken chased him around the town. It was hilarious.
One common theme is the neglect of real - life responsibilities. For example, players may forget to pay bills or take care of their pets because they are so immersed in the game.
Yes. A guy named Jake had a crack addiction. His family staged an intervention which made him see how his addiction was affecting them. He entered a 12 - step program. In this program, he had to take one step at a time towards recovery. He learned to rely on a higher power (for those who are religious) or his inner strength (for those who are not). He also made amends to those he had wronged during his addiction days. Gradually, he got better and is now living a normal life.
Yes. There is a funny story about a woman who was at the zoo. She saw a llama and said, 'Look at that big dog!' Her friend had to explain that it was a llama. Also, a man was trying to be cool while skating and ended up skating right into a fountain. And a group of kids were playing hide - and - seek. One kid hid in a laundry basket and when his mom found him, she accidentally threw the whole basket into the washing machine with him still in it.
Sure. There was a story about a cat that got its head stuck in a vase. It was chasing a little bug and jumped right into the vase. Its owner found it looking so silly with the vase on its head, and it took a while to get it off. It was really funny. The cat didn't seem too bothered though, just a bit confused.
