Is it normal that my mom is addicted to world of warcraft?

Okay, so my mom got World of Warcraft several years ago and she's played it a lot with her committment varying over time - it's like she's obsessed with it for a couple of months, then completely forgets about it, then goes back to being obsessed with it for the next couple of months.

Anyway, that was the way it was. Now that the new expansion pack came out, Warlords of Draenor, my mom's addiction has gone to a new level. Her characters each have a garrison now, so she checks their garrisons about once every hour to make sure their missions are complete and to send their followers out on new missions so no time is lost. Right after she got it, she LITERALLY checked her garrison once every hour! Now, it's more like once every two hours, but it's getting worse because now she has three garrisons instead of one and she's about to get a fourth.

I know it's normal to be addicted to World of Warcraft, but is it normal to be this addicted???

    Gaming addiction is a serious problem for some people, I've never gotten there myself but dark souls and currently dark souls 2 are the closest I've gotten

    I played that game for a few months then didnt play it for a month..then got rid of it.

    The online rpg I played the most was Everquest! Lots of fun...and so many hours put into the game... I bought the 2nd one for my mom because she wamted to play it...tho she doesnt play it anymore she used to play it a lot.
    idk maybe your mom will slowly not play it to like she has the others...its new and exciting... you should see me when a new pokemon game comes out....until I beat it its all I do...its all I want to do rofl. the same can be said when i read a new book...its all i do.

    How long has it been with this new expansion pack? I say give her some time and see if it runs its course. If it doesnt look like she will be slowing down or stopping...then she might need help

    Yes. I have played the game but never got sucked in that hard.
    It is pretty cool and for the wrong person can be all consuming.
