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.
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.
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.
A really funny story involves a guild that was having a role - playing event. One player was supposed to be a noble knight, but his internet connection was bad. So during his big speech, his character froze in a really silly pose and his voice kept cutting out, making it seem like the 'noble knight' was some kind of malfunctioning robot. It was a very entertaining moment for the whole guild.
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.
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.
One funny story was when my friend was trying to tame a rare pet in Vanilla WoW. He had been camping the spawn point for hours. When it finally showed up, he was so excited that he accidentally hit the wrong button and attacked it instead of taming it. He was so frustrated but it was hilarious for the rest of us watching.
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.
