WOW Addicts To Get In-Game Therapy

NowGamer: We've all joked for years about just how addictive World of Warcraft can be, but some UK addiction experts are taking it seriously...

So seriously in fact, that they've decided to jump into the 11 million strong MMO with WOW characters to provide 'online counselling' for younger gamers. According to a report by the Telegraph, Dr. Richard Graham, a psychiatrist at London's Tavistock Center is so concerned that he plans to provide in-game therapy to young players he fears are addicted to the game. Graham claims to have clients who have played the game between 14 and 16 hours a day, seriously neglecting their studies and social lives.
