WoW is a horribly addicting game - skeletons or not. WoW in china has been especially bad with gamers starving themselves and to the point where there have been "mmo rehab" centers all over the place. Granted, WoW isn't the only contributing cause, but I do think it's one of the biggest. #worldofwarcraft

People should be allowed to do what they want, with their time. They can live or die with the consequences, at least they get to decide. #worldofwarcraft

I mean, I hear kids are learning multiplication tables when they're like 4? I was still learning to wipe my own ass when I was 4 (sometimes still can't do it).
Isn't that the theory we got going on with Japan? Their social structure is so intense a lot of the men are somewhat.. despondent?
I don't know. But I'm thinkin' the issue goes beyond WoW. WoW is just the most attractive, easy, and cheap escape.
Again I swear to God if someone takes offense and calls me a racist uneducated bastard I hope you get mauled by a bear. A bear with swords. And lasers.
Also feel free to tell me what it's like in mainland China! #worldofwarcraft

If I had any bears to spare, I would send them to join your army. I've been in Japan for a while now though and I need every blasted bear I can get my hands on to keep the Lucky Star lynch mobs from coming after me. #worldofwarcraft

And this issue here isn't that people are looking for life fulfillment in WoW. It's a game. Most people are aware of that. This is just the Chinese gov't wanting control, and more money (read: bribes) #worldofwarcraft

wow this is one of the most ignorant comments I've seen on kotaku in quite some time. What do you know about China besides what Fox news feeds you? #worldofwarcraft
11/03/09
What on earth is with the random "Fox News" reference? It's not like they deserve to be the scapegoat of all that is wrong with journalism. And what does Fox News have to do with China (never mind the World of Warcraft issue) ? #worldofwarcraft
11/03/09
Truly narrow minded to think that anyone who disagrees with you has had their thoughts fed to them. It's like the old adage, "Think for yourself!" when they really mean "Think like me!".
But, to answer your question more directly, Fox News is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who owns the contracts to both Hu Jintao and Bobby Koticks' souls. #worldofwarcraft

Either way, I just hate when people decide to ignore the message for the messenger, even if the message is logical. You know? #worldofwarcraft
11/04/09
Your statement about the message and the messenger is a good one, but I'd like to think the best way to go about things is to do proper research (i.e. read up from different sources, including slanted ones), because then you'll know fully what the long term repercussions or benefits are of the things you are crusading against (or for).
The fact is, no news outlet, no matter how biased, is inherently good or bad. What turns them good or bad (and thus causes the general perception) is that certain people take the information they're fed without considering the implications or the background. Similarly, people who are against these outlets respond in a similar way, which I find ignorant and unfortunate.
So much bigotry and misunderstanding can be dispelled if more people would think for themselves rather than be told what to think and 'go with the flow,' as it were. #worldofwarcraft

though while my country doesnt outright outlaw foreign films. we do our best to dissuade people from watching them. we even begin remaking some the year they are released and act like they are new films. we dont want to lose our film industry. and people in my country get mad when they think of losing their job to someone overseas. this seems similar to both of those aspects of my culture imo. #worldofwarcraft

Yeah it's what Japan has been doing since the beginning of time.
Also back to home grown products China has absolute tons of RPGs. MMO and single player.
What country are you from? #worldofwarcraft

Why does this stuff only come out when another MMO is stomping a mud hold into WoW. Suspicious I say... Now think about it, When Warhammer released Mila Kunis was talking WoW, WoW, WoW.. Now she doesn't say crap about it (maybe Blizzard stopped paying her). But think about it every month a major MMO releases something like this comes out for WoW.
Look back at the games, Age of Connan, Warhammer, Aion etc. And on each and every month of one of those months some super hot model of a girl comes forth to say she plays WoW. Hate to say it but its way too suspicious, And its not below Blizzard to use such tactics to keep horny males playing WoW. Because Blizzard has paid some stars both male & female in the past to say they played WoW for ads. This is looks to be more of an underground type of advertising mostly done by company evangelist to increase sales/keep users of a product....

I think it's just an excuse to show BOOBS (!!!).

If you think this has no relevance to anything, you fail to realise that Kotaku is the equivalent of a gossip rag for gamers.
...and I love it to bits.

We had a girl who played horde on doomhammer, she had her own website www.eringames.com she played the ditsy 'omg gais you should help me I am a silly girl that doesn't know anything..' and the guys swoop in, until another girl shows up and calls her bluff
/endrage
I know the kinds of comments that I am gonna get for this "I bet you are a fat chick that doesn't like the fact that you don't get attention" which is untrue so save it

Just because they're attractive doesn't mean they can't enjoy videogames.

I agree with groove and spice, they play WoW for like an hour a day so they can have a talking point in their interview about how they're sucks a dork and play WoW all the time.
10/10/09
In summation, if a porn chick doesn't have time for WOW, then neither do most people working 9-5 jobs.
Edit: Also, if you sign a contract like she just did, you shoot at max 5 or 6 scenes for the entire month. That's a lot of free time.

Why is it a pity? She is rich, loving life, and playing WOW all the time. You know how much off time she has to game? That is just awesome.
10/09/09
Either way, it is a pity ANYONE plays WoW. Riches don't make you happy... And how do you know she is loving life? Even if she notes it in an interview, it would have no value since pretty much all people claim to love life yet so many then try to commit suicide. They put on a public face, no one really knows who she is...
All she is to ANYONE is just some porn star who can't find value in anything else she could be doing a part from mindless and unrealistic sexual show for a camera.

Believe it or not, but some girls *DO* enjoy sex. And not all of them are abused or emotionally damaged! Crazy thought, isn't it!? And you say, "All she is to anyone is just some porn star." I guess you missed the part where she's married?
So, she's in a happy, open-ended relationship, gets to have sex all day, gets paid by the truckload, and spends all her free time playing videogames.
Please, I dare you to find even *ONE* guy out of the thousands who will read this article that wouldn't want to live a life like that. Now tell me why she can't enjoy it just because she's a woman.

Please keep your hypocritical comments to yourself. Your moral high ground is getting quite mucky.

Also, I promoted Kanji08's comment because he said what I meant to say, but better.

If I could promote your comment, I would.
