In my last newsletter I told you about the Yahoo group I belong to called World of Warcraft Widows. When I signed up I opted to have new posts come to my own Inbox.
Today the number of posts past one thousand since the latest uprade. The tone gets ever more angry and sad.
Here is an example of the anger
Hi Y'all!
Well, now my SO is at level 70. He told me he wanted to get to that
level so he could "find out whether or not he likes the Xpak." Well, he
plays all day (or most of it anyways) while I'm busting my ass at work,
to come home to him on the game and get blessed for 30 seconds for a
hug and kiss (how sweet,,,,,,, Puke) only to have him go back and sit
down and play well after I've already gone to bed, which is usually
around 11pm. So, I figure he's playing everyday all day while i'm at
work, prolly 6 - 8 hours and then ANOTHER 8 after I get home from work.
How much more can I take? Don't quite know. I do know that I'm starting
to get to the point where I don't want to go home after work. For what?
To spend all but 30 seconds of my evenings every single evening alone.
I think not. What to do, what to do, what to do!
And the sadness
THIS GAME IS TOTALLY DESTROYING OUR FAMILY, HE(THE FATHER OF MY
CHILDREN) WILL NOT DO ANY ACTIVITIES WITH US WHAT SO EVER, HE HAS BEEN

AND I WILL BE GONE.I HAVE BEEN WITH THIS MAN FOR 12 YEARS THIS GAME IS
ONE OF THE CAUSES OF OUR BREAKUP.
Do any of you have any experience of this and similar games? If you do I would very much like to hear from you. It is a growing social problem and it would be good to share knowledge.
