    Well from my experiance of knowing people that take coke , it makes them act like immature ar##holes . From my experiance of Warcraft players i d say theres no way you could compare the two  .

    Uhm, I know many Wow players like that also. Not all of course, far from it.

    But drugs and MMO addicts usually feel that they fail in their life. When they play/uses drugs they feel succesful. So it have some likenesses but remember that there is a big differences betweeen someone playing a little for fun and a total addict whos only pleasure in life is gaming.
