I don't think it's addicting at all, it's pretty boring to me actually, everything is so plain and smushed... If you do happen get addicting to WoW however, you will just need to watch the World of Warcraft episode of South Park.

Blizzard wants to steal all your souls. I know, cause they sent me WoW for free on my mailbox, and i said WTF? I aint paying $15 a month! NEver play WoW. You'll become nerdy and obese. I'm athletic, and i will never play WoW, as long as i live. unless Blizzard rules the world and starts forcing us too. :P
Wow you people seem to have a lot of generalized statements about World of Warcraft (and I say that as someone who really dislikes WoW). But seriously, you all are aware that WoW isn't the first MMORPG in the world and it won't be the last, hell it isn't even the best. The generalized statement about WoW players, and by proxy player of all MMORPGs, are anti-social nerds with no lives who live in a basement and devote every second of their time to the game; but god is that ever a stupid statement.
I'll admit there are people like that, who devote all their time to a single game. But whatever, that's THEM not YOU, if they choose to live their life that way who cares. But the majority of people who play MMORPGs are aware that there is such a thing as reality and they even go out into it. I'm an avid player of MMORPGs and I still have time to play other games, work, visit friends, watch anime and read comics. So stop generalizing, just because you think all WoW players are like the select few that get noticed, doesn't mean you're right.
WoW will indeed ruin you. You will have no life! Some people ditch school just to play that game. My cousin told me about this one guy who played WoW 3 days straight (No breaks!) He died.
i used to play it, stopped like a year ago....didnt ruin much of anything for me. i played for a good 2 1/2 years and stopped, havent missed it much either, not that hard to get un addicted and yes i know my post has nothing to do with reasons why WoW will ruin you
Girls dont date WoW addicts...Be prepared to gain weight...most likely you wont be involved in anything, no parties, no fun outside your house. Welcome to your new geek haven no lifer!
It will make you troll teh intarwebz and insult the entire player base of the most popular MMORPG with baseless assumptions and sweeping blanket statements... Oh wait, that can't be right... No clue WHAT causes that. *Looks at OP*.
Hmm... Something it WILL cause in a lot of people, however, is the belief that MMORPG PvP is skill based (With a few exceptions, to be fair). What a lark.

World of Warcraft doesn't ruin people, idiots who can't manage their time properly ruin themselves. It is very possible to have a social life and play WoW, you just have to put some effort into it.
