Assets are assets, I bet the court could compel him to liquidate them and give her the proceeds from the sale. Good thing the clause in the ToS about Real Money Transfers probably protects them. It would need to be tested in court is my guess, I bet its still a gray area.
2-3 hours a week doesn't leave much for WoW.. if you want to play 2-3 hours a week, you should find another gameIt can take an hour just to get somewhere..
Hurray for a wow fan boi reply. Dugg down because you don't even know what the program is called. It's Warden not guardian numb nuts.You're predictably ignorant. Do some more reading and research about what exactly Warden is capable of and consider the big picture if you can (or just go back to your grind fest - whichever you prefer).I ain't buying what Blizzard is selling - too bad I'm in the minority.
I remember playing Monster Hunter when it was first released on the PS2 and really that game has nothing but grid. Alright there was not much levelling to do as it was all item based. That was something I did enjoy, but it did not provide a real open world on content to play with. That and the fact it was too much of a PVE game and had no concepts for PVP (not sure about the newer ones now). It was a good game just nothing to overtake WoW on. Right now the only real game that can be reasled to provide a sence of better playing expereience would be a GTA MMO that was built on a framework that would allow them to dynamically push more content into the world like the insides of buildings and new cities. Kinda like a Second life world (famework per say) on the GTA model, with a community structure that would allow us to provide and create the concepts of play, story as well as enjoyment. I can remember playing some Sci-fi MMOs some years back like Neocron and Anarchy Online where the in game news was generated by the fan base of the players instead of some DEV pushing more content into the game. When an MMO comes out like that and they can apply that concepts into the real worlds of stats and gameplay then I think we will have hit out limit. But sadly I know this can never happen as the amount of money to get an idea like this off the ground is more than what would be required to make the next World of Warcraft 2!
Addictions won't work this way...it's easy to say... "if you're not more interesting then a computer game then you fail"... you cant be more interesting then drugs... addiction is pleasure itself... you become addicted when you reach a high level of pleasure, and you want to experience it over and over again.. but sometimes, in case of drugs, computer games and other crap, the addiction can go in a bad way... for example Alliance beaten a hordie the hordie over here will go on "enrage" and start swearing and bla bla just because he lost... Addiction is not something you can control, because you don't know your addicted in fact, even so if all the people near you say that you are addicted, you will still refuse the idea, and continue like this... the only cure for addicts is self respect... only somebody that can actually manage to the idea that he is addict, only then he will finally understand that he is losing everything he has and it's near him for something that does not worth it... only then he will actually cherish life how people should cherish it... lets say for WoW fans that don't understand... a good imba warrior is the one that knows how to tank, and dps... he needs to do them both, to be successful... same thing goes over here as well... Sometimes people need to be addicts, to realize what they are really losing ... Lets say if that man passes this addict phase... he will truly understand some things...

How right you are. I lost nearly three years of my life on online gaming even before World of Warcraft's release. Consider yourself blessed.

Yeah I think she's probably a total bitch. Sometimes girls are completely clueless when it comes to dealing with men and their issues.
