| Greetings Hey there folks! I followed the link one of you guildies must have provided in the comments section of my blog, and wanted to drop in and get an alternate opinion on the matter. Your moderator was kind enough to provide me access, and as I am a guest in your house, I'll be glad to abide by your rules.
So yes, I'm the fellow who posted my friend's story. Needless to say we were dumbfounded at the degree of the response we received, and we were even more surprised by some of the interpretations of the post.
A quick background: I introduced him to the game some time ago. Although there was definitely a very short period of time (about a month) where I played a significant amount of time ("significant" for my personal schedule is 30-40 hours of gaming a week), and my own inability to keep things under control got me in a spot of trouble, mostly due to lack of sleep. Fortuitously for me personally, I realized the problem was mine and I did not have the self-control necessary to play a game like this... pathetic in a way I suppose, but at least I can admit it.
My pal and the author of the post took things a lot further. I don't need to elaborate, you're all at least aware of the post, even if you haven't read it in its entirety (difficult to blame you, it is quite long).
Anyway, since it clearly appears you guys have a different opinion on the topic, I wanted to get your side of the Warcraft story. Again, the reason I came here is because somebody put a comment on the blog post and I followed it, nothing more, nothing less.
Thanks to whomever it was who stopped by and linked your forum!
