my suggestion is that if she won't change you should do what's best for you and move on. You leaving her might be what it takes for her to recognize that she has a problem. It's time to nut-up and speak up and take care of yourself. My mom is hopelessly addicted to wow also and there is no reasoning with her about her addiction to it. We hardly talk anymore because she's on there.
Uhhh.....if your girlfriend is playing with you who will clean the house and make you food so you can raid. You screwed up early on and now will probably have to deal with the consequences.
If you guys share a bank account put a block on any expense you want aka the sub for wow.
Pawn off her computer and yours as well.( if you have to)
Stop payying for internet.( No internet no WoW)
Find an addicition class for WoW and put her in it.( Yes it sound fake but their real look em up)
Lol ill be checking back to see what you say and maybe i can think of something else? This a real bummer and im sorry WoW is ruining your life and hers. Uhmmm and i guess if worse comes to worse you could dump her. But im sure you really dont wanna do that, espically if your willing to have sex while she raids which is a bit ridculous in my opinion and if my girl friend i had now did that to me i'd probably dump her because if im not as good as WoW then i wouldnt wanna have to deal with that.
My goodness that is so disqusting, you are right your girlf friend is fat, massive fat, I can not imagine any women I have had being 3 pounds over weight let alone the size your has ballooned too.
Clearly your girl friend has let herself go, unfortunitly she is ruined now, chances are she has stretch marks, also fatties never go back to a nice firm well tonned shape unless they get lipo suck.
I am sorry to say but your GF is a mess and you need to drop her now before it is too late for you, I personally would never be with a girl 3 pounds over, I like them nice and firm and well shaped it shows me they care about themselves and their direction in life.
Remeber friend, fat ugly women have only been introduced due to feminisim because of it fat women seem to think that they are an equal, as you can tell they are not.
Good luck
Damn byotch dat aint no friggn moon fool, dat be a friggn space station byotch.
Some of you miss understood what I am trying to say, she does go out with me, but she just doesn't care if she have her hair, nails, done, she tells me that she does care, that she knows she is getting fatter and that she doesn't like it either and I encourage her to go to the gym, but when I am all set to go to the gym and ask her if she is coming with me she says she has to raid and I let her go to her raid, I don't want to force her to go to the gym, however I spoke to her and we agreed on going to the gym Monday, Wednesday and Fridays on the morning before we go to work, it benefits me because go to the gym in the morning is better than going in the night because you are fresh and you can exercise more, anyway, she is starting today, I am going to awake her in a couple of hours and lets see how it goes.
If these doesn't work a friend told me I could delete her character, but she could get them back, so he told me I should get her account banned.
I could really get a better looking girl than her, but we've been boyfriends for about 5 years and I know I am shallow but I also love her and I don't think theres anything wrong with that, is not that she HAVE to be a 10 in order to be my gf but what is wrong with looking good ?, plus is not just me the one who wants her to slim down, she also wants to.
I know this is not Blizzard fault and that not every WoW players are like that, but this problem that people get obsessive with MMO's is growing and I hope we don't get restriction like they did in some Asian countrys, people have to get their priorities straight and my gf is one of them.
BTW I am not sharing my bank account with my GF or with any woman, that is just crazy.
Look down man. Them are balls. Use them! You think for one minuite if the shoe was on the other foot she would not be busting yours? Grow a pair and straighten her out. For her sake!
Straighten her out? You know that is against the law. You don't straighten a person out. If he doesn't like it, he can leave. It's called freewill. He has it and she it.
I would dump you on your rear. Yeah, everyone with any sense can tell you are an immature jerk. Get over yourself. The world doesn't revolve around you. Obviously she is trying to tell you that the game is WAY more exciting than you. Totally understandable given the content of your post!
I can only hahahaha at you. Pathetic!
Heaven is by favor; if it were by merit your dog would go in and you would stay out. Of all the creatures ever made [man] is the most detestable.

I feel special, you made your account in 2007 and your first post was in my thread !
Anyway, she does take care of me, the thread name is not "my girlfriend left me for WoW", she does go out with me, she even cooks my food, problem is that she is letting herself go because of this game and I will not let her and if you see anyone doing the same I recommend you to intervene because putting a game before you IS NOT WORTH IT.

That was an insulting and very immature post. Don't attack the OP he's just expressing himself to the mmo gaming community in hopes that someone may have been in a similar situation and may have some real advice. What make syou think the world revolves around the OP? The fact that he values a healthy lifestyle and that he wants a relationship with somebody that shares his values? I think you are the pathetic one. I wouldn't be surprised if you got reported for attacking the OP.
"We accept her! One of us! We accept her! One of us! Gooble gobble, gooble gobble! We accept her! We accept her!"
Well Haiken if she doesn't want to change you can't force her. If you feel she is worth it, save up and buy her a plethora of things she likes, (jewelry, tech gadgets, etc) and tell her she won't get them until she meets certain goals. Tell her she has to go to the gym with you like she used to, I'd advise getting her to use the treadmill most. Make up a weight chart and mark it in increments of ten pounds or so. As she drops weight towards her goal weight she will get a shiny toy. Of course save the biggest and most shiny toy for the end goal. Soon you will have your svelte paramour back and I'll bet that except for actually becoming fitter instead of unhealthy, she will feel like she is still playing Wow.
"Gypsies, tramps, and thieves, we were called by the Admin of the site . . . "
Before we played this game, we used to go out every Friday, Saturday night, go to the gym from Monday to Friday and she was near of having six pack abs, she had a tight body and she was ALWAYS taking care of how she looked.
It all started when my girlfriend and me saw the southpark episode where they played WoW, we didn't even knew that the game existed, we thought they made it up, then one day we were talking with some friends and one of them used to play WoW back in vanilla times and he told us all about this game, the next day I was going to buy 1 copy of the game but my girlfriend got mad at me because I only bought 1 for me, so I had to go back to the store and get another copy for her, so we jumped right into the game, we both make Blood Elves, she was a warlock and I was a paladin, so yeah, in this point of the game, I was very addicted to it, I just wanted to hit level 80 as soon as I could, so I played a lot and even we played a lot it took us like 2 -3 months to hit level 80, so when I hit level 80 I thought that was it, I knew you could raid and pvp, but I thought that the main aspect of the game was leveling from 1 to 80, but I was wrong, I stopped to play the game, I would only log like once every day, but she didn't she was playing it 4+ hours everyday, so I asked her what was she doing if we already were 80, she told me all about the Dungeon daily, pvp daily, Cooking daily, JC daily, farming gold to pay flask and raids and the worst of all the Achievements, she want to get all the achievement in the god damn game, anyway, I joined her but I still didn't play as nearly much as her, she made me join this guild, so we could raid and we did, at first we didn't raid, we were just guild members, everyone knew she was a girl so immediately bunch of guys started to whisper her and flirting with her, I didn't care because it was a video game, but then when we went to vent things got worst, but I could deal with it, I was still the one waxing her ass, anyway, that is not my concern, in the last 4-6 months she has gained 40 pounds or more, she obviously doesn't care anymore how she looks like, we get random visits from time to time and she don't even care if her hair looks good nothing, she even plays while they are in the house, we still have a lot of sex, but she even made me have sex with her while she was raiding, I grabbed her and told her all these things and she won't listen, she does listen and she says she is going to stop playing so much, but I still see her long times playing and I don't want to be a pain in the ass for her, but come on. I love her but I am just worry about her, however I don't want to control her life.
On the good side, I know she is at home always and I've lot of chances to cheat on her, however I have not done it yet
I am really in a shitty situation and I came here to hear some thoughts about it and maybe some of you guys had a similar problem and can help me out. We have about a year and some playing the game.
Your gf has an addiction problem, the same you can have with alcohol or other drugs. It should be treated like that. The first thing to do is to go to see a specialist in addictions and tell him your gf problems, he will give you some help.
As an advice, you can not cure someone of an addiction if she/he dont want to be cured. That means, before your girlfirend can stop playing wow she firts need to want to stop playing it. So start trying to show her how she is ruining her life, maybe that helps. Explain her that you both no longer do stuff together, that you miss spending time with her becouse she is all the time on wow.
My goodness that is so disqusting, you are right your girlf friend is fat, massive fat, I can not imagine any women I have had being 3 pounds over weight let alone the size your has ballooned too.
Clearly your girl friend has let herself go, unfortunitly she is ruined now, chances are she has stretch marks, also fatties never go back to a nice firm well tonned shape unless they get lipo suck.

This guy is even scarier than some of the other posters. You sound like a wife beater waiting to happen. As an ex animal control officer, your type are a dime a dozen. Can we all say control freak?
That said, people who play online games excessively are no different than a golf fanatic or any sports fanatic. For those of you who don't know, the word fan comes from fanatic. Society has even coined a term for people who have significant others who do anything in excess. Golf widow, sports widow etc. I know people who spend every waking moment they have aside from work and household chores playing bridge, going to tournaments. People go to malls excessively, spend most of their lives driving from dog show to dog show, horse shows. It used to be called a hobby. Since the sports industry is mainly geared towards men, men would be up in arms if women tried to get them help for their "addictions'" (hobby) Now it's like being a leper. The real problem is people minding anothers business instead of their own.
So all you that want to control another person and their actions, you need to get some help and get your own life. Mind your OWN business!
I think some of you missed my point. He CAN'T control her. She is her own person. If she wants to change or stop, she will. He can't make her. Wake up and smell the 21st century. Slavery or forcing a person to something against their will is against the law. She doesn't have to cook for him or clean for him or stop playing WoW for him. He can take control of his own life and say goodbye. She can chose then to give up excessive gaming or not. End of story.
I cry foul at the person who stated I was attacking him. She isn't breaking the law. He deleted her account, which makes him a jerk. (my initial response) Computer tampering is against the law also. She isn't doing drugs or anything illegal. So Haiken I take back calling you a jerk, but don't think you have the right to delete her account.
She is young and I don't foresee a whole future of her being "addicted to gaming".
Heaven is by favor; if it were by merit your dog would go in and you would stay out. Of all the creatures ever made [man] is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one... that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. ~Mark Twain
Best thing I can say to do is to take her on vacation. This or any other method you can make her not play for 2 weeks. Should be enough for her to realize she has been wasting a lot of time. If you take her to the beach she should realize she is not as thin as she used to be and want to get back in shape too.
You sound whiny and boring. Wah wah my girlfriend used to be eyecandy and now she's not, but she cooks for me wah.
She sounds both boring and bored.
I don't know either of you in real life however, so I'll give you both the benefit of the doubt and assume that, all your posts not withstanding, you two are worth my bothering to post some advice.
The gym is horribly boring. Most people would prefer WoW's treadmill to the one at the gym. At least the WoW treadmill has interesting scenery from time to time.
In November purchase the XBox Kinect. Then both of you can try that for exercise. It might work. I'm getting one for myself. But the thing is, it's for myself, not for some whiny guy. If I was dating you, I'd get fat just to spite you because you're that shallow. If she wants to lose the weight for herself, she probably just needs less boring exercise. If the kinect won't do it, try jogging, hiking, tennis, or hey, if you can afford it, horseback riding.
I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.
Wow, this thread is still going? Now see it's threads like this that gain so much momentum by just talking trash. This is exactly what I have mentioned in other threads. This is the kind of stuff people love to talk about in todays MMOs. This entire thread needs to be in Barrens chat or pretty much any other of todays general chat channel in said MMO. tsk tsk.
Yeah I know still it is entertaining sometimes I guess *sigh*

While on vent?
someone here posted this once and I think it fits perfectly for your situation:
http://www.cracked.com/article_18461_5-creepy-ways-video-games-are-trying-to-get-you-addicted_p1.html
my suggestion is that if she won't change you should do what's best for you and move on. You leaving her might be what it takes for her to recognize that she has a problem. It's time to nut-up and speak up and take care of yourself. My mom is hopelessly addicted to wow also and there is no reasoning with her about her addiction to it. We hardly talk anymore because she's on there.
Uhhh.....if your girlfriend is playing with you who will clean the house and make you food so you can raid. You screwed up early on and now will probably have to deal with the consequences.
i only read till post 25 then skipped the rest
all i have to say and i few others have mentioned,
if she rather do the daily quest things rather than spend time with you, then its time to find a new girl, its sad but its true.
i play eve and i consider myself addicted to it, but i still find time to go out with my girlfriend 3-5 times a week,
Food and lack of exercise makes you fat, not games.
Tried: Most MMO's, Playing: EQ2
this is what i would do,
If you guys share a bank account put a block on any expense you want aka the sub for wow.
Pawn off her computer and yours as well.( if you have to)
Stop payying for internet.( No internet no WoW)
Find an addicition class for WoW and put her in it.( Yes it sound fake but their real look em up)
Lol ill be checking back to see what you say and maybe i can think of something else? This a real bummer and im sorry WoW is ruining your life and hers. Uhmmm and i guess if worse comes to worse you could dump her. But im sure you really dont wanna do that, espically if your willing to have sex while she raids which is a bit ridculous in my opinion and if my girl friend i had now did that to me i'd probably dump her because if im not as good as WoW then i wouldnt wanna have to deal with that.
Best of luck to ya!
Sorry I didnt read every post but did we get a picture yet? That would help a lot.

If you get her account banned it just shows you have trust issues.
Eleanor Rigby.
at least she isn't doing Meth, if she did that you would have to kiss a zombie.
"going into arguments with idiots is a lost cause, it requires you to stoop down to their level and you can't win"
Tell her you will leave her if she doesn't stop playing videogames.
If she doesn't want to do that, then just dump her.
And then get yourself a girl that doesn't play computergames

Damn, I am in the other boat, I love MMO but my girlfriend gets angry if I spend too much time on them....
Hey dude wanna swap? 40 pounds is nothing, jsut more cushion for teh pushing and everyone knows women gain weight on their babylons first
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ab/Norsefire-logo.png
No they lose it in their babylons first.
Life's too short, people rarely change and sometimes if they do they hold it against you.
Move on if it isn't what you're looking for, you have no real ties so get out while you hurt no one but yourselves.
If you really want to give it a try though, chain her in the kitchen for a month or so, don't forget to remove any sharp objects or the gag.
