Any World of Warcraft Mommies??

I play World of Warcraft in my time at home...my hubby and I were talking about how I don't have any friends outside the game world (not true but I've had difficulty meeting folks with brains around here) and he told me I should post on this forum asking if any other mommies around here played the silly game I love.

For those asking, World of Warcraft is a PC (computer) game. It's what's called an MMORPG (Massivly Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) where thousands of folks on dozens of realms play with one another in a fantasy world. To learn more, visit www.worldofwarcraft.com You can download a free 10-day trial there and get started playing.

To explain the addiction...there's something freeing about playing in a world of people who don't know your true identity. They don't know if you're rich or poor, ugly or beautiful, tall or short, your history...etc. You make a character with wonderful special powers and you fight monsters you'll never see on this earth. It's exciting to gain each new level since every level gained brings new monsters to fight and quests to complete. Now, you can't let it take over your life (though many people do) but it's very relaxing to just get away into your own fantasy movie now and then.

As far as regulating a child playing, they have Parental Controls you can set up that only allow the child to play so many hours at a time, and only during certain times, etc. You may want to try them!

Anyone? I'd love to meet some folks who play!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

For those wishing to start playing...(and would like to play with me) I am on the DRAKA realm, and I play Horde. My character name is Stormchanter. I have a wonderful guild and would love to meet some mommies in the World or Warcraft!

hi S.. my name is S. and i am a 23 yr old sahm of three. unfortunately i haven't had a chance to get my hands on the world of warcraft but i have played in the past.... lately i have been playing starcraft though. i was introduced to final fantasy through my husband and i love it. can't wait to get into the online world of that game.

i do know the feeling of not being able to meet many people with intellect. that has been a hard problem for my husband and i. ican completely agree with you about being online and noone knowing what you are all about. they have no need to judge you. its just all about having some fun. and yeah it can be totally addicting. anyways if you want to chat you can email me at ____@____.com or chat with me at ____@____.com through messenger.

If it makes you feel better, I'm also a WoW mom. My husband and I have been playing since the game came out. We have two kids, 8 and 5. Our 8 year old daugther has recently gotten into the game. I play Alliance on Garona and my husband plays Horde on Gorefiend (yes, a family divided, lol). I haven't played much in the last few weeks though due to being annoyingly busy (sad since the expansion is *finally* out). Feel welcome to contact me either at ____@____.com or on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/ayato4me

Hello S.! I can completley relate to your addiction!! My husband plays (is addicted to) WOW and has been telling me that I need to start playing, but just haven't had a chance to. But, I LOVE to play Zelda!! I'm playing the new twilight princess and I can't get enough of it!! Maybe I'll check out WOW though... my husband keeps pressuring:)

Not a World of Warcraft player myself, but I understand the addiction!!! I am a Morrowind and Oblivion kinda girl (XBOX 360 RPG's are the best) and LOVE Viva Pinata. I have never gotten into online gaming but we own 5 different consoles and I could easily be addicted. I also am a SAHM of two ( a 3 year old girl and a two year old boy) and I was due with my third baby yesterday! Playing games for me is a little escape. Like when the kids are sleeping and the laundrey machine is going I just want to sit and turn my brain off for a while. Have fun with it and I hope you are able to find some real-world mommies to play with!!!!

I used to play years ago. I even played with a LAN group for a years ago. I would say about 9 years ago, I would say that was one of my favorite games. I wasn't the best at it but I had fun doing it. I would love to get back into it but have a lot going on so I really don't have the time anymore.

I do understand the obsession though. It's a blast.

I don't play WOW, but is that on a PC, PS3 or Xbox 360? I do play Call of Duty 2 on a 360.
