How to Block Access to "World of Warcraft"
"World of Warcraft" ("WoW") is a massively mulitplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). Although the game is complex and entertaining, it is common knowledge that "WoW" and other MMORPGs have triggered addictions in some players. As a result, you or someone you know may neglect real world responsibilities, such as jobs, friends, family or relationships. Although little can be done to stop adults from playing, since their lifestyle is their choice, parents can limit or completely block access to "World of Warcraft."
