Fortunately, my boyfriend isn’t as bad as your friend, although he LOVES WoW, as do all his friends. I think part of it is a phase and another part is the escaping away to a fantastical place.
I tend to find that when my boyfriend and his friends have other interesting things to do, they stop playing WoW for a while.
Maybe you could invite you friend out to do something, like a guy’s night out or something to that effect. Getting him away from the computer to do something exciting seems like it might be the best way to go.
Let me know how it works out. If you find a solution for this WoW addiction, you might be able to help a lot of people.

you cant. i know so many with the same problem. it is pathetic, and is an addiction as sure as drugs or alcohol. They become some wrapped up with the game and the people they play with they become anti-social, with no interest in the outside world. If he has no job job, the best you can do is talk to his parents or who ever is paying for the monthly fee it takes to play,, try to ge them to cut him off.
Then maybe he will get out from in front of the screen.
Good Luck. But it will be an uphill battle.
