World of War Craft Addiction


My sons LOVE WOW, and that's an understatement. One of their character names is
Whompers, and of course I pay so he can play. I don’t mind, don’t get me wrong. This game keeps them out of trouble, they don’t drink, stay out late, talk back to me, ask for any money, and I love it! I was just wondering if the company, Bilizzard that invented World of War Craft could not come up with something for us parents to be able to send an immediate message to our kids or adults who love playing this game. They could come up with something that would allow us parents or anyone go through the Blizzard website, and with some kind of password we could log in and send an IM to our kids or adults for something like an emergency, a hello, a chore, or maybe the weather channel advising of bad weather coming their way. My kids don’t watch TV anymore, they play WOW, read, eat, go to class, or sleep. I was just wondering that this would be a good jester for us to be able to contact our addicted WOW loved ones.

Now I don’t know much about this game other than what I see when the boys are playing, but there is so much activities going on when they are playing that I don’t know how they type to communicate with each other. The game has a fetcher called VENT so that the player can talk to each other during their raids, but we are on wireless, and it is so slow that the boys can’t get on VENT, so they type everything out. I sure like to hear them keys going 90 to nothing, because I know that if they get a job where typing is needed they sure can do that. They enjoy playing and I enjoy making them happy.
