For those of you who are unaware what World of Warcraft is, its an online pay-to-play game with over 10million ACTIVE players/accounts world wide, Being a long time gamer myself, I often wonder what make people want to spend a ridiculous amount of money per month for a game that has a really bad rep for being the most addictive game in the world...well in reality it is, it was even voted as the "Most addictive game" at the spike TV awards.

"Play World of Warcraft
Your money is my cure
Give us your money
That's right you customer"

-The words heard by every single person who plays WoW when their character dies, its unavoidable and also unnoticeable.

Could Blizzard, the corporate super giant of the gaming world be implementing subliminal messaging for profit? It really would not surprise me considering what I have seen the game do to some people...Lost jobs, ruined relationships, destroyed social lifes....and yet people still pay to play.
here is an example of "Electronic Addiction" ironically enough its also on WoW.


There are also businesses operating outside of Blizzard to make money in real life from in-game sales; Ie. Items, Bulk gold...This is against the games code of conduct and can lead to account deletion. But in a recent experience my friend had, He purchased around 10,000 gold (Roughly $2-300 AUD) but after buying it he was interrogated in-game by blizzard about where the gold came from, He did tell them...and it led to a 3day suspension, and the Salesman was left untouched! If blizzard become concerned about one person in game suddenly obtaining 10K...how much would the salesman and/or business have to have in stock to sell to the general population?? NONE! because its quite simple, it would cost Blizzard NOTHING to make the money...its all at the click of a button for them, and its FREE MONEY! Besides the $400,000 they make from game time per month they would also have an Unlimited amount of digital currency that they can sell to their subliminal addicted gamers.

Now I don't know if you did this intentionally but I think you should remove the 1st video as it has a subliminal message for someone to commit suicide...

Not a freakin joke...

Urrr..what? thats the first time I have ever heard that one? Where did you hear that?

As for all of you who think WoW does not implement subliminal messaging, what do you make of the first video?...There is even a video made that somebody recorded a GM admitting it was an intentional message!

the first video that is presented at the end of the video it has text on the screen that states "If you don't beleive me, go sui... yourself"

Did you watch the link yourself???

That is extremely dangerous for the video to be viewed. Should not be on this board... Just had Dave of ATS talk of this type of thing and we have someone playing games with ATS lives... Not a joke...

Wrong. The addiction stems from the creation of a 24/7 virtual world that continues even when you're not playing (thus making you want to play to see what's going on), simple gameplay with a low learning curve, character progression through leveling, equipment upgrades, etc.. It's the type of game that a casual player can enjoy playing only a few hours per week but at the same time takes a major time commitment when it comes to clearing endgame content.

Blizzard gets paid the same $15 per month from users whether they play 8 hours per day or 8 hours per month. In fact, I imagine that they'd rather have their hardcore players play less so they don't burn through new content too quickly, get bored and move onto other games.

Stories of people losing their jobs and destroying relationships are caused by the people themselves and their lack of self-control. It's not the video game's fault in the slightest. There are many people that they casually. Why aren't they addicted?

Face it. Some people have traits that make the more prone to addiction than others. That's all there is to it. Blizzard allows for caps to be put on the amount of time players are allowed to play per month. Maybe more people should take advantage of that feature..


Edit:

Okay. I watched the second video and the simple solution is to cancel the kid's account. Problems solved. Parents need to stop being afraid of being parents and put their foot down.

Hahaha yea the film makers should have elaborated a little more on that...to go "suicide" means to kill yourself in game so you can hear the subliminal sound being played. A very smart way of doing it, since EVERYONE has to die in the game, meaning EVERYONE has to hear it all the time.

Do you even know what a subliminal message is? That's not a subliminal message. It is very clearly presented on the screen, and it is also very clear what it is referring to. It is telling people to kill themselves in the game to hear the subliminal audio.

Stop being so sensitive.
