Love your IRL video, Anthony! Best editing ever, made me start playing WoW again. Did quit a year later because I got bored, no addiction. But I think it's awesome that you won over your addiction! ;D Keep going bro!
Hey, thanks for the comments! The addiction was overcome over a period of time I would say, it definitely wasn't overnight (I did try). I am currently in the process of making my next film as we speak, so you can follow me on the facebook page facebook[dot]com/irlmovie and I will post updates there if you are interested! A lot of the stuff you asked is sort of what I will be covering in my next film! :)
I didn't raid, I didn't play arena or anything that required a schedule. Also I played to this day sort of 'illegally'. My family absolutely doesn't support pc gaming and I am kind of ashamed I really like to play video games. I now have exams at university (8 exams at the end of the first year). Although I really need to focus on passing these exams and stopped playing WoW in June I keep coming back to mmo-champion and still 'enjoy' reading about wow-related stuff.
7:22 definately interested in a future video. As for myself I also played WoW (perhabs again sometimes?).... I didn't really play a lot because I always get that feeling I should have done more useful things. The problem for me was, and still is a bit, that I think about the game a lot. I visit websites (mmo-champ, wowhead) and want to know everything there is about upcoming patches.
You can think you enjoy something, but subconsciously you hate it. Most of the gamers play games to get away from in real life, because their in real life is so bad in comparison with their gaming virtual life. I'm luckily not a gamer anymore, I was. I'm glad I got out of that cycle. Ever since I got out of the gaming life I'm enjoying IRL so much and it seems to enjoy me :)
Did you overcome your addiction instantly or did it also take time and you faded away slowly? I can't say I was addicted since I didn't play all day long and really enjoy going out and do sports, I was more 'very interested' in all the lore and background of WoW. Anyways, wish you all the best in the future. I kind of look up to you ;-)
I regret playing WoW, because it's a waste of time and money. I use to play Starcraft and WoW back when all I enjoyed doing was sitting home on the computer, but fortunately I'm not addicted to using my computer anymore, and I enjoy IRL, not to mention that what goes on in your computer doesn't matter not even the slightest bit once you're outside in the real world. Besides don't call me a bro. I'm not your bro.
As I wrote I did not get addicted. He also says that he does not regret playing WoW which I do to. But nice name bro, HighDefStarcraft? You're the one who seems like the gaming addict here bro.
That video was to stop you from getting addicted, yet somehow you managed to do the exact opposite of what it was promoting, good job for being a nerd who goes against his logic just for WoW.

Please make another WoW documentary! But make it like what happened outside the game when you were addicted

I'm working on it as we speak! :) I'll post up updates on my Facebook page about it (link in the description)
