Reading the title and opening post of this thread I would have argued that WoW carrying a health warning was an absolutely silly idea and completely pointless, but reading through the posts here I am really surprised at the amount of people on this relatively small board that say that they have played to an extreme amount and have trouble putting it down, either in the past or presently. I honestly did not think that this would be a problem for anything but perhaps one or two oddball cases, somewhere across the globe that the media may have hyped to be something it isn't - probably in an article by Anne Diamond. I would never have thought of videogames to be addictive to normally functioning adults - I once had a very loooong game of Animal crossing for many hours because it took me about three quarters of an hour to get the Freeloader to work when I imported teh game and didn't think that I'd ever get it to work again
but I have never found it in the slightest bit difficult to put a game down or not to play for a few days/weeks. Obviously, though, there does seem to be a problem with some people, and it's a bit unnerving as it's something that I have never thought was 'real', as it were.
