The Ultimate Guide To Quitting WoW!

Posted in Self-Help by gary.haran on the July 26th, 2006

Tell the world what you hate about the game on wowdetox.com

Spill it out! It’s anonymous and totally free! Over 5300 people have told the world why they hated their addiction already!

Call your “RL” friends and tell them you quit

Your friends realize there is a problem. They want to help. Ask them to take you out more often for a month. Within 30 days you should be free from the shackles!

Break your CDs

This works even better if you film it and post it on youtube.com. Try to find a really original way of doing it! Flame throwers and explosions come to mind!

Uninstall WoW

This is a given! Tempation can sneak up on you!

Remove all references to WoW on your computer

Do you have any bookmarks, backgrounds, color schemes, screensavers, etc… keeping you in the virtual world when you are not playing anymore? Zap it all!!

Sell your toon on Ebay

Most end game ready characters get between 200$ and 600$ with their character. Think of what kind of party you could throw with that type of money!

Deactive your subscription online

Head over to the World of Warcraft web site and deactivate your subscription there. Doing it on the phone will be met with resistance.

Replace your free time with healthier activities

Subscribe to something healthier. Set aside a day a week to get out of the house and to the movies. Try to spend time away from your computer.
