(sounds a bit like jesus) you would know that the undead were once humans who were murdered by a corrupted man, who raised them from the dead, now they seek to end the evil that created them. you would also know that the priests and pallydens are fallowers of the holy light. you would know that the horde and allience banded together to destroy the evil legion and damned lich king. you would see how the tuaren, (bull people) respect earth and the great creatores. you would here the storie of the death knights, once agents to the lich king but bruoght back to the light by the holy pallidens of the argent dawn. you would know that the dragons are not evil but protectors of the world. the reds are the life binders and love all the mortal races. the greens protect the dreams and plant life, the blues monitore the magic use so no mortals will blow up the world. the bronze keep peace over time to stop intruders from disrupting history. and the once proud black dragons (who were driven mad by the evil ones) protected the earth and primeordel powers. you could hear the tale of how the creatore morned the loss of his friend seargeras (now the demon lord) much like the fall of lucifer. it can be an addicting game yes, but thats due to week minds. take the game in bits. dont toss your life at it. and it is a game. no need to get jazzed over spell casting thats fake. and not all the classes cast spells. most use weapons. and the violence is like none, you hear a sword clash, you might see some red stuff (you can turn off the blood) and you might here the thing make a sound before it dies. as for players, they are monitored and booted for essive language use, scamming, or asking for personal information. plus you can turn on the word block that filters all the curses and even things like kkk. blizzard is trying to clean up the world. the creatore of warcraft is a christian. if you have any questions ask for my email. i play wow. iv been playing for a year or more, i have a lvl 84 warlock, and 79 paliden. im not addicted at all, i play maybe 3 times a week. sometimes on holidays i play a bit more but only when im bored. i have two jobs, im in school i get good grades, im strong in my faith. i think warcraft should be classes with lord of the rings and narnia. if you know about the lore of the game, then you know about how the orcs were corrupted by the demonic legion, but broke free when a young orc showed them the wrongs of their people and told them of the once honorable race.

I noticed you said that you haven't met a true Christian. That's unfortunate. I'd be interested in learning what a true Christian would look like to you. Do you think a true Christian would make themselves vulnerable to criticism and verbal attack in order to try to warn people they don't even know of the dangers of occult involvement? Please do a simple Google search for "occult danger" and browse through the mountain of results. Perhaps you'll reconsider your position. God bless. Hello Eko.

The mentality of those that have *no fear of GOD (which the Bible says those people have no wisdom) will always try to justify there actions. If you are NOT A CHRISTIAN (striving to obey the teachings of Jesus Christ and come to the full knowledge of GOD) there is NO NEED for you to read this article. Because you will not understand the Christian perspective concerning this game because you are not following our standard. When someone says "I DONT THINK GOD WILL MIND IF..." of course he wouldnt, because he doesnt exist, because you are making a god up in YOUR MIND (IDOLATRY) with what YOU THINK he should feel or think (in other words you are god). This is dangerous because you are breaking the first commandment which is Idolatry "thou shalt have no other gods before me." IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN WE MUST ALWAYS REFER TO THE BIBLE FOR GOD's PERSPECTIVE AND INSTRUCTIONS IN LIFE (not what you think or feel). The author of this article is right on with GOD's perspective. W.O.W. definitely has the appearance of evil with its lust, witchcraft, profanity and anything else that is ungodly within it. I am sorry but the tricks of the devil is not obvious easy to detect and noticeable (like the lie of him having horns, tail, pigmentation is red and a pitchfork). The Bible says he is an angel and that he is beautiful and a deceiver a liar that seeks whomever he can destroy. If you are not a Christian reading this please trust and believe in Jesus Christ as your savior and you will be saved from the wrath of GOD that is going to come upon this world. Being a Christian doesnt mean sitting in church all week. You can do any and everything in this life as a Christian except sin & disobey GOD that is it.Burn world of warcraft, break it and destroy it in Jesus name!

Evil characters? obviously but where in the bible does it mention trolls, undead or goblins?. Casting spells?? i hardly consider them the act of standing around a satanic altar chanting in some pathetic attempt to summon something. It is a computer graphic nothing more that summons lightning or fire or something similar. The poster of this article is one of those steriotypical anal retentive christians who sees great fear and evil in everything and takes it waaaaaay over the top. For the record if any of you actually bothered to read the bible properly in the first place you would realise that not any single one of you is actually a christian. Did you know that christians are not allowed to marry outside of the Jewish community?, did you know that Jesus himself CONDEMS and FORBIDS divorce yet how many people do you have in your churches that are divorced?, and the best one is how you all sit and judge, judge, judge day after day after day.....yet might i remind thee that you are too take the plank of wood out of your own eye.....yet none of you actually do. I have yet to meet one true christian in my life and it is IMPOSSIBLE for it to actually happen. You are also meant to stone a woman to death for things like cheating on their husband.....see you only take what YOU want to act upon and IGNORE the rest. So do us all a favour and chill the hell out already, you make me laugh you get so anal over a video game yet in your churches we find pedos, rapists, murderers and all sorts of corrupt nasty conedmning people. Get a life already and just find your own path and enjoy it instead of jumping on the bandwagon and acting like moronic sheep. Oh......wait.........HELP ME.......WORLD OF WARCRAFT HAS JUST KICKED MY DOOR DOWN WITH POINTY POINT HORNS TO DRAG ME OFF THE LAND OF ELVES AND TAVERNS AND FLYING HORSES.......hang on a minute.......WOOOHOO.

Jesus Christ, not religion, freed people, us, from different additions and vices. WoW and similar rpgs are a means to escape reality and ignore what the Bible tells us.

Psychiatry has killed 2,000 kids with its youngest victim being 4. It kills 3,000 people a month with psychological drugs, and more people have died in psychiatric institutions in America in the last few decades than in all the wars America has been in since its founding. Now out of WoW and psychiatry do not tell me WoW is the greater evil, for giving mind damaging drugs (mind damaging is witchcraft) to 4 year olds is far worse than playing a game instead of causing mayhem on the street. Will you criticise a game which keeps kids of the street and support giving drugs worse than cocaine to kids?

With all the roll playing games on facebook and such, I'm afraid it's even more of an issue than when you originally posted this. Our family has become "adicted" to Age of Empires, but we do not play online at all. I'm also using it as a spring-board for History. Our time is very limited and the whole family is involved in some way. Any game, even Solitaire (because of the tarot card background, Corrie ten Boom noticed an issue with it in consentration camp...), should be treated in this way. Not that everyone needs to play, or be all together when it is played, but that the lines of communication in the family are completely open so any issues can be addressed ASAP... imho. Great article! This article could stand revising and reposting, Robin.

I am in real pain over my son who has "played" wow fulltime for several years. I ask you, have you a job? friends outside of wow?, can you hold a conversation with someone?, do you have a partner?,can you afford to buy food?, do you cook your own meals? do you think it is fine to use obscene language ( and precious little other language) to your mother?, do you do your own washing? do you have any ambition to do anything other than wow? If you are answering yes, no wonder you don't understand. Christians like you Jake are a poor testament to God’s word and God’s love.

My son at age 25 is surely addicted to wow and my ? christian ex husband does not think it is evil. My son seems to be unaware that people his age are usually training for a career or working. Social benefits have ceased and he lives with my elderly christian grandmother, who knows no boundaries. I continue to pray but wonder what else I can do. Mitchell, you appear to be blissfully ignorant of the effects of wow, and the vulnerability of children damaged by marriage breakdown and living with no sense of direction. Don't suppose you have been through that or have children. Thank you Robin and Ellen,
