does anyone have any convictions about playing world of warcraft? i couldn't play it, just too much stuff that bothered me. i was wondering if anyone else felt uncomfortable about it. does anyone in here use it as an evangelism tool? if so, how do you do that?

This belongs in gaming.

Other than that, yeah, I did after a while. At first it was okay, but something changed. I don't know what, but it did. Everything is permissable, but is everything right for you personally. That's what you need to worry about. Will it make you sin?

I don't play those kinds of games because I've seen too many people get consumed by them.

...My youth pastor and some of my older guyfriends at church play it...a lot. But I have never seen it so I don't know. They seemed to like it a lot, althought that doesn't necessarily mean they approved of everything in it...^^;

Personally I don't find it offensive. It takes place in a made up world. It does have mild religious content but again, I don't think this game was meant to be realistic.

Yes, it does belong in Gaming.

If your talking about the possibility of getting adicted, yeah stay away from it if you have that kind of problem.
If its the content... one race in particular is evil, and so I have stayed away from them (the forsaken even the horde races dont like them (not the players the npcs)..) and I have never played the class thats designated as the bad guys (dont you love it when you can basically play the good or bad?) I heard both of there quests feed into being a bad guy that only cares about power and destruction.

But the only thing you have to think about is the magic but if it bugs you then stay away from this or any rpg.

My experience? Lots and lotso lore, basically its a tolkein type story interactive. You know I love playing the chivalous rogue.
