Dr. Maressa Orzack is a clinical psychologist, founder/coordinator of Computer Addiction Services at McLean Hospital in Newton, MA, and an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School. He's just come to conclusion that World of Warcraft may, to some people, be addictive. Well, let's see... the game's been out for 20 months... 20 months times $15 per month is approx. $300... times over 5 million users... so say $1.5 billion has been spent on the game. Sounds like an addicitive substance to me, Doc.

World of Warcraft now boasts over 6 million users. That's a lot. A real lot. To put it in perspective, there are more people paying Blizzard monthly than there are people in Tennessee. OK, maybe Tennessee's a bad example. but you get the picture.
