WoW

yes im 16 and i play world of warcraft, ive been playing for about 1 year and have a lvl 70 warrior on the bronzebeard server named deathcleaver. i enjoy the game very much and find i spend more time then i probly should on it. My dad is 37 and he also plays, and also has a lvl 70 warrior on the same server named cyian. we both play and are in the same guild, makin progression in kara,ZA,Gruuls, mags and SSC , although there are are people who bring down the game with their profane language and harassment but overall the game is very rewarding. and anybody who plays will enjoy it because of the rel life economic settings and some of the real life values. even though it is a game and many people are against it i find as a good way to spend my extra time.

Game Reviwers:
As for the Christian perspective of this game, there is an extreme amount of bad language. It isn't because of the characters in the game, but the people playing the game. Wherever you go, you get people who will talk nonsense in the channels for no reason at all, just to annoy others. A great thing is that you can put people on your ignore list, or leave the channel all together.

I know what you people are thinking, about the demonic "magic". There is a whole lot of magic in this game: from auras to ranged damaging ice novas, resurrection spells, etc. It is a part of what this game is. In addition, you see many characters and NPCs (Non-player characters) which seem to have evolved half way between two species. There are also ghosts that linger in some quests, and when you die, you become a ghost and your object is to run back to your body to be revived. This all is fine for the solid Christian; I personally have no problem with it. However, for the younger ones, maybe a few points should be explained here and there, to what is true to life and God.


Hmmm... .not in my house any time soon... .well ever actually.

welcome to the blog... excuse me if I sound picky... but your post sounds like you're defending this game, and daring people to disagree with you.

The parents on this blog will tell you in a heartbeat, this game will not be allowed in their homes, as Grey Bear pointed out, because of its' anti-Christian Content.

It is important to realize that we have to monitor every aspect of our lives, and every thing we watch, listen to, or get involved in. Demons are real, witchcraft and spells are real, and playing games like W.O.W. tend to minimize these facts, and desensitize us to their reality.

I used to play D&D(yep, Dungeons and Dragons, the role playing game) myself, I blew off the concept of demons, spells, and witchcraft too until I rededicated my life to the Lord... and I hope and pray that you will grow in your Love for the Lord that you will too.

If you still feel the need to blow up some pixels...there is a game called Left Behind, Eternal Forces, and it's based on the Left Behind series of books and movies... you may want to google it and check it out.

There is a point where a game or situation becomes an addition. I battle with not as much games as, how much time I spend on things. Now I learning more about managing my time to get my life walking into a new direction.

So here is a suggestion...

A person plays from 15 mins to 4 hours a day on a video game, online or not, interactive or not... but does not do at least 15 mins of scripture study needs to start getting into the word not reading only but trying to make notes and do a study. In fact i would encourage you to do the study first, write down your start time, and then your end time. Then that amount of time becomes the maximum allotment of gaming time. Try this for a week, even if you falter, re:start the next day. I going to track this blog, but send me a message if you done your 7 days i would like to hear from you

Negative response;
Gaming is addictive, and after you have bought the equipment, paid for the game you feel silly giving it up so you carry on playing, even against your better judgement.
Soon your no 1 at your favorite games, but your personal life may be taking a toll as is your walk with god.

Video Games are Unreality.

But then the bible teach's nothing is unclean in the earth because of god's sacrifice.
But not everything is profitable.

POSITIVE RESPONSE;
The fact you play online with your Dad is way COOL!

With the high rise in divorce and immature parents following their selfish ways rather than loving their partners/spouses and children...
Its good to hear about family's that are getting along and having fun together.

If you are unhappy or feel that you should'nt be playing games or a particular game then please tell us about it and we will pray for you.

As for spiritual forces and the enemy He has No Control Over you, once you have been born again and have the holy spirit you have complete authority Just as Jesus does.

Jesus is able to walk through Heaven, Earth and Hell and the enemy has no power over him, the same applys to all children of god.

The enemy is afraid of us, we should not be afraid of him or the weak realm of the demonic.

It is important to Put God First in your life,
as it is written "Seek first the Kingdom of God and all things shall be added unto you.
Do not be like the pagans who run after one thing after another"

Finally there is a Christian Clan for WOW that is really good called the TRIBE OF JUDAH
