World of Warcraft.


Question Posted Tuesday July 17 2007, 4:44 pm

I was reading some of your answers and saw that you play[ed] that game. Two of my friends, one of which is like my best friend, want me to play that game. My brother and half sister used to have some weird addiction to the game where they'd play it nonstop. My brother quit for about 9 months and plays it again now, but when I told him they wanted me to get the game, he seemed okay with it. Then, once he realized I was serious, he got really against me playing. He keeps telling me the game "ruins" lives and stuff, which I understand. I already -sorta- promised one of the guys i'd play if he got a game I wanted him to play, but I dont wanna suffer the consequences of being obsessed/possibly addicted to WoW.
& It doesn't even look like a fun game.

How do I tell them I can't play it?

You tell them that you arent interested.

WoW is a significant time investment. I (sometimes unfortunately) have a decent amount of time to devote to it, but it can eat your life up just a little.

The easiest excuse, I would say, would be to tell them that you like to go at your own pace in a video game, and in WoW you're always trying to keep up/catch up to other people who are higher, or who have better gear.

Bottom line it for them. Tell them you really arent interested and are not going to start. Not, "I dont want to", or "Im not sure"

"Im not going to"

That gets the message across.
