Should I play WOW?

I beg to differ.

Oh, so it can't make you anti social? If you pull out a DS in my previous school, almost everyone avoids you like a plague.

Do you know from first hand experience?

I play Warcraft 3 occasionally; probably the closest to WoW I'll ever get. Monthly subscription plans are a little too much for me. I say don't play, another source of addiction I wouldn't recommend.

Even though I have not played WoW, I know that it's bad BECAUSE of the variety of ways it can change you. I've heard many things about this game and it's just something that I'm going to have to avoid. I still remember that video where the guy destroyed his computer just because all of his WoW accounts got deleted by his girlfriend (though it was just fucking hilarious). That pretty much explains what WoW can do to you. It's either getting addicted to it or become a maniac over the game, or maybe even both. I think that video was posted at the User-Submitted News Section of GBAtemp.

So, hell no, stay away from this game, especially if you think education and life are more important than just a bunch of pixelated objects.

Well, Ive played for 4 years of WoW and I gotta say, its sometimes fun, sometimes its just boring, if you raid you could be staying up very late (I raided only on weekends) people in there are (some of them) very cool.. And I still have many friends even though I played WoW so.. But I'm quitting it soon since my laptop cant seem to run Cataclysm (And I got horribly slow internet, barely 2mb)And I dont play it almost at all. So I say try it, see if you like it, play it or not.

So one guy does that, and now all wow players have anger issues?

If my GF would delete my characters, which she will not since she also plays WoW, I'd give a phonecall to blizzard, asking them if they could return my charactes, be a little pissed at my GF, and continue to play.

Well if you want to try out a half decent free private server try out ITR.

Be warned its not perfect, although this server is constantly updated and you can play for a very long time before you experience any bugs.

If you really like the free version then it could be worth it to upgrade to the retail version.

It will probably be months before the private server rolls out that new update that is coming soon.

If you do decide to try out ITR let me know I have like 4 or 5 level 80's on it and can help you do quests or crafting and stuff like that.

Edit: Before anyone says "Omg you have so many 80's!!!" Meh I can get to level 80 so fast these days its not funny so it really does not represent the huge time sink it appears to be.

I lost a really good friend because of this game he ignored me all the time and I decided that we're no longer friends that's why I hate him more than anyone in this world and if I seen him again I would tell him how much I hate him.

The reason why I bolded that phrase was because I was trying to stress the presentation and mentioning of the video. I'm NOT trying to emphasize that all WoW players have anger issues.

Don't jump to conclusions quickly. As if I had made such a personal attack to WoW players...
