WoW and cocaine

[beastwood225]

a recent study has proven world of warcraft to be more addictive than crack cocaine. the study was conducted after a swedish boy had convulsions and needed hospital treatment following a 24 hour non-stop gaming session. what are your thoughts on this and do think this applies to other MMO's or even gaming in general?

 

[curlycrouton]

I highly doubt that. Where's your source? Can I perhaps - God forbid - see this study?

 

[curlycrouton]

WHAT? There's two of these threads! Is it the Escapist acting up again?

He's done a double post, methinks.

I doubt that ANYTHING is more addictive than Cocaine.

I read ina newspaper some years ago, that the brain reacted the same way to counterstrike and cocain.

I think people can develope mental addictions to all sort of things, not just drugs.

Games/drugs/guns don't kill people, people kill people, and unless forced to play/take games/drugs the games are not causing addiciton, people are to blame for it themselves.

Give us the scource... if that was true we'd have 11,000,000 wow addicts...

More than 11 I dare say unless you ment 11,000,000?

I disagree...I've seen WoW players personally, and I've seen coke addicts personally...I can't stress how much more coke makes ppl freak out without it...
