How to deal with his warcraft addiction? 

My boyfriend (who is 21) is addicted to the computer game, World of Warcraft, and feels there's nothing else in life more exciting than to play it. It's effecting our relationship greatly but more so I think it's effecting his wellbeing. I try to rationalize with him to be more active outside his computer but he feels life is too boring and there's nothing else to do. He always wants me to tell him what other activities he can do and I really don't have an answer for everything but I do know playing his game for 7 hours straight, every day, is not healthy. I need help on how to deal with this and some of the things I can suggest to help him better understand what he's turning into.

Best Answer:  I am a bit biased because I play World of Warcraft myself.

All I can suggest is to make other plans. Technically, his playing is only a problem if he lets it interfere with other commitments. Suggest you go out, make plans to go to the movies, out to dinner, hang with some friends. If he ignores you or conveniently "forgets" or anything like that, you need to confront him. I have a standing rule that I only play when I have nothing better to do (the wife makes sure that there is usually something better to do)

If you simply want him to change just for the sake of changing (just don't want a guy who play videogames) then maybe you might need to rethink your relationship. You should never get into a relationship with the notion of "he would be great if I could change this one little thing". That is always a bad idea.
