Oh yes, it's addictive. Addiction can't just blame it to games, there are several media that can be addictive, there's TV, music and real drugs (which the society hasn't eliminated successfully). There are several factors why some prefer living in the virtual world, they don't feel secure nor enjoy the reality around them. It maybe the household, friends or even the society. Sad thing the game is played the other way around. I play WoW and grind <a href="http://wowgoldpig.com" title="wow gold" rel="nofollow">wow gold</a><br> and raid for endless hours but time to time, I make sure reality should strike my head that I have a real life to live. It was supposed to entertain you during your free time but it turned out it's becoming a problem for some. Keep enjoying the game, but live a real life Both gamers are cool but I'd still prefer to play wow. Oh yes, it's addictive.

I would recommend leveling up to 70 and experiencing some of that social aspect of teamwork. While there is great social fun in Stormwind, Ironforge, and the main cities, the majority of "social fun" happens in the guilds.

As you get more money and get into professions, there's a lot of flexibility in how you play the game. You can choose to mostly group or mostly solo or some of each. You can do a lot of dungeons or none at all. I've found that there are many paths through WoW, and I'm still discovering more.
