I have called blizzard and they told me they would always reinstall all the goods if asked by the account holder. I asked them why they promote this addiction. So there is nothing you can do to get rid of an account unless you log in and sell everything as told above. Also I would suggest changing the password prior to deleteing it to something random and post it in general chat for grabs to anyone that wants it just make sure to delete any credit card information from your account online. I would also suggest to anyone reading this in the same boat. Get your significant other help if they are addicted to WoW. Its not a joke its a true issue we are dealing with. When all that person wants is to play and they say they stop play and lie or are late for appointments because one more hit for the boss , one more bg(battle ground) or one more quest and they dont want to go out because that costs money but WoW is free. I say to them but divorce/breakup isnt :) GOOD LUCK YOU TO ALL THERE IS HOPE My husband is a wow addict for 5 years now invested over 11 days into the game (it actually will let you know how many hours you played from the begining) and I have had many days where I wanted to just smash that stupid computer but he would just buy another one and re install i am sure.

But why be so harsh on the "feminist movement"? This was also the movement that got women thinking more about what goes into their bodies -- like cancer-causing teflon.

I'm not sure about Blizzard's unwillingness to replace things, but I fully agree with the sentiment. I know this is an old post, so hopefully you have stayed quit, but I'm trying to build a community of those who have quit so they can help those who are quitting. We'd love your input! This is good advice!

I spent all those hours paying and playing to get gear, to get better, to earn more gold, reputation, whatever, and as soon as I get really kick ass gear, Blizzard spits in my face by releasing an expansion pack with level 81 green items better than my epics ever were, so yeah.. pretty pointless, even if you're doing it all for fun and to pass time.

I have to be honest, I left one toon still alive after I quit WoW. I thought I didn't like her, and my family all cringed when I said I would vendor her gear, so I let her be. And... as I pretty much predicted would happen in this article... I went back to playing WoW. Now I'm quitting WITH my husband, which so far is MUCH easier than going solo! I've been sober since the 28th, and my account expires on the 13th. I'm still debating whether to vendor my main's gear, because it's SO hard! Maybe you can be my inspiration to go all the way this time... Congratulations, Bonux! I have to be honest, I left one toon still alive after I quit WoW.

Both for Ogame and WoW... I just emptied all my bags, sent all my belongings to a friend, posted on my forum (with link to this page ! :) ), kissed everybody, and, well... I have to say this: I feel free ! :) Well, that’s so true… Both for Ogame and WoW… I just emptied all my bags, sent all my belongings to a friend, posted on my forum (with link to this page ! :) ), kissed everybody, and, well… I have to say this: I feel free ! :)
