I've become a WOW Widow :(
Again. DH had stopped playing for 3 years. 3 blissful years. Then he renewed his character. We have a deal that he can't miss dinners or social events due to raiding or whatever. I, however, am ready for some *together time* (if you know what I mean) and he's doing something with some people and a tank. I don't know. There are explosions...le sigh.
Guess I'm going to have to bust out some of my old tricks to distract him...
My Boys!
Re: I've become a WOW Widow :(
Good luck with that. If it follows anything along the lines of how I used to be with WoW...there is nothing you could do to get me to stop if I was in the middle of a mission. If he has a tank, you are toast for the night. Sorry. =(
Maybe a costume?

EJ is growing up too fast!
I know exactly how you feel. DH started playing again too after the expansion came out in Dec. He is not allowed to raid in the 30 man groups anymore- I can't handle it. He does small groups, and its not quite as bad as before, but I am really monitoring things to make sure the playing doesn't get out of control.
At least you have tricks that work. Nothing I could ever do would pull him out of a raid.
Good luck & I am always here to talk if you need it.
Good luck! I am a WoW widow survivor (going on 5 yrs now....).
Didn't they come out with an expansion pack recently?
I am sorry. DH and I deactivated our accounts right after E was born. He is now playing non MMOs and I don't have a game. I really wish the game companies would come out with another game soon. If he is with a tank and has a decent (or two) healer...you better forget it until tomorrow. DH was lucky...he was the tank, I was the healer and then we just added others as needed.
Sorry! Maybe set up a non gaming night where it is just you and him, without the computer.
Ugh. Don't get me started. WoW has always been a point of continuous contention in our marriage. We've made it work but if I could wipe MMOs/any games with raiding and scheduling off the planet I would do it in a heartbeat. DH raids 4 days a week M-Th 5-9 now that the new expansion is out. It's basically bad for around 6 months to 1 year after an expansion comes out. Then I get about 1 year of only 2 days of play aka peace before another expansion comes out.
Ironically, I actually loved the game for years before I met DH but I played it maybe once or twice a week for 2-3 hours a time when I was bored or I'd get together in person with other friends who played it. I was never into raiding, which is where the real problem lies. It's like a 2nd job!
You're lucky you have the "no getting out of social events" clause. I actually schedule social events around his gaming. The key for me is staying equally busy with my own interests.
So sorry you have to deal with that. I know if it weren't for WoW he'd just find another game, so I'm resigned, but I can imagine the frustration of him getting back into it after years of no serious gaming. Maybe the reason he stopped the first time will cause him to stop again?
