WoW Akin to Heroin Addiction According to British child psychologist Tanya Byron, love for World of Warcraft has some unfavorable comparisons to addiction to heroin. Am I Normal?, screened at 9pm on BBC 2 last night, investigated the subject of video games addiction – even going so far as comparing an ‘obsession’ with interactive entertainment with a reliance on cocaine or heroin. Byron introduced the section on games addiction by narrating: “Most of us think of games as the preserve of the teenager; young people escaping into a virtual world of fantasy. It’s an attractive but artificial world where they can give themselves a new identity and a status and power unobtainable in reality.” She spoke to World Of Warcraft ‘addict’ Michelle Hart, 39.

Seriously, how did that Moth get level 72?? Did it defeat thousands of weaker, less aggressive moths?   Anyway the only aspect that i would imagine we’d go after to kill is Deathwing, and even that is tenuous. According to lore, no one actually knows what happens if you kill an
