  I do not know why people get addicted to video games.
  However, I do know that several of my friends play World of Warcraft as much as I do; which can be as many as twelve to eighteen hours daily, any and all times of day.
  "Warcrack," as it is sometimes called, gives me meaning. It gives me instant friendships, glory, discovery, excitement, and danger.
  That instantaneousness quickly dissolves, leaving an empty hole. The solutions? You can seek more time-consuming methods of real fulfillment or move on to better items, bigger guilds, more money, stronger skills. However, the more steeped you get in the game, the harder it is to revive the social life, the school grades, the artistic talents, the real-life skills.
  Loving Friends, Family, etc.; You are possibly the only ones who can confront the one you care about. Remind them constantly, because their 'friends' in the World of Warcraft try their best to encircle themselves with people similarly sucked in. Discuss it while they're playing. Be a fool for a moment, feel disrespected just a little while, to save a person who sits at a screen being a fool for hours on end.
  Our eyes are on the screen, but if you love us, we will listen.
