If Wrath of the Lich King comes out, make sure she kills Arthas.

If you can't beat em, join em. Sadly game isn't bad as ya all think. I enjoy game myself. At lvl 70 a lot to do like PvP, Dailies, Run around ganking lowbies, Farming, Heroic Dungeons, Raiding. Or just standing around chatting to people.

@chuiu, not a waste of money. My brother has access to my account and has played it very often. I still raid once and awhile on weekends.

In then end Candle all you can do is watch and hope that she doesn't get too into the game. Just her advice and hope she listens to ya. Gaming can be a bad habit if you do it all time. Homework, spending time with friends, going out, enjoy life should come before gaming.

Your whole family plays it? Damn.. a lost cause..

I'd say you should just tell her what to watch out for and try to get her to do some other stuff.

If this goes on for a few years, get her hooked on Portal or some other Source game.

Getting her hooked on heroin is the only option.

The problem isn't what she's doing, it's that you're trying to dictate what she does and doesn't do. You have to accept that she, along with the rest of your family, are their own people. They can think for themselves and make their own decisions on what they think they should be doing. While you obviously disapprove, your disapproval is not binding and you'll better off not trying to establish control over your family.

She's 7. Wow is rated T, right? So you have to be 13 to play. Your parents suck at parenting.

There's a distinction between intervening on a pathological addiction being fostered at an early age and seeking petty control over others.

Crack is more effective.

Not necessarily, I myself find the ones limited by these restrictions are more violent and/or sick minded than the ones allowed. And even if they are not allowed to play these games you hear excessive swearing everywhere, especially schools; as well as violence. Only porn/nudity, imo, can be justified as a bad influence in a game, which WoW lacks.

Excessive swearing didn't start in schools, it started within the media the kids watch these days.

I never said that, I merely said that children expirience it within schools, therefor rating a game by this is quite obsolete.

I wish my dad had understood that. Once he saw someone on B.net swearing and kicked me off for like a week... then not long after I'm like "Omg! Someone said the F word at school!" and he's like "Yeah, it happens." xC

My whole family - mom & sister used to play it... now it is mainly my middle brother, and my dad that play it. I got my friends hooked... They can't get enough. The only way to stop her is to steal the power cord

YOUR PARENTS PLAY WOW?


Anyways, remember. You could always disable her account, disable the game and/or show her a youtube picture of an addict who played WoW and died.

You suck at realising that video game ratings are a complete failure.

That is the answer.

I bet she'd have more fun with Diablo 2, but she could turn out emo with all them Pentagrams (Or Goth, w/e the friggen difference is! They both wear black! D:<)

I don't want control, but I realise when something is bad for someone, it's called intervention.


Tried that attack, no.

Excuse me, how old are you?

15. And if you're going to just attack me for no real reason, leave.
