My fiance has a 23 y/o son who is the laziest non motivated person that I have ever seen. All he does is play that online WOW game...what a loser. He has no motivation at all and is so lazy that he isnt even working...maybe on the weekend. I was downloading a file last night that he became so pissed that it slowed down his game so he stormed out of the house. This is like 8pm and he came back at 2am. He sleeps all day, plays the game all night long. The guy needs a life. He asked me to install a second internet line in the hosue so his game doesnt get interrupted. I said , yeah right. I partially blame the mom for this for not kicking his butt on when he was 18. We started to charge him rent, $400 a month. Boy was he ever whinning about that. I told him to wake up, he has no concept of reality. We go away for 5 days and when we get back, we were sitting outside having a coffee. I noticed that there were some burn hooles in the lounge chairs and that the decking had singe marks on it. I asked my fiance if these were here before, and they were not. I decided to ccheck the PH level in the jacuzzi as we thought about going in that night. I flipped over the cover and tghere was sand in the jacuzzi, cigar and cigarrette butts floating everywhere, the diverter valve for the jets were busted off. I lost it then. the loser had his so called frinds over and had a party and tried to cover it up. I cant wait till he moves out!!!! Anyone else in this situation.
What to do about a 23 y/o hooked on WOW

Well at least he managed a party and didn't just play WoW the entire time you were gone. Maybe he got some ass? Think on the bright side!
Your house, your internet, take away the computer and no internet for him. Or kick him out. Eitherway will achieve what is needed.

Punt his ass out forcibly or start charging him for ever little thing - preferably just boot him out. But for every thing you have to have repaired because of his "party', charge him for it, even if that means turning off Internet access to his WOW cave.
Now the problem comes if if the mom isn't on board with this plan. You may have to have them both leave

He worked on the weekends since he was 18...I assume...was never charged rent to he pocketed all his $$$...the thing is when his account depletes since he has no full time income..he will still have to pay rent and then maybe he will wake up..I actually think he is not capable of working full time.
take out a large life insurance policy....his lazy life style will catch up to him and eventually kill him...why not reap the rewards?

My cousin (about to turn 27) who currently lives at my house, does the same thing. Plays WoW all day. He still goes to school too. Has yet to get his undergrad. Used to live in Taiwan. Flunked out freshman year and was sent to the military for 2 years (where he was basically a secretary). A year after he was out, he spent another year in limbo preping for entrance exams. This time, he went to a university in Taipei which is by his home. Because of this, he would skip class daily to play WoW. Ended up getting kicked out again and his parents sent him over to the states to live with us and get a degree at the local community college. All programs at the community college are two year programs. He never studies. All he does when he gets home is drop his bags and play WoW like I used to do in 5th grade. Difference is, he's not a 5th grader, he's 26. If he's in danger of failing he will drop courses without telling anyone or hide his report card. There's a lot more details I can add but I'm not going to. Basically, he's a huge failure and he needs to gtfo of my house.

I think you should fear for your life. Sounds like the type of kid that might kill you. Seriously.
Unless you get your fiance onboard your plans will fail to disastrous effect. Good luck though, some people really allow wow to take over their lives.
As others have suggested, my thinking was that if you start charging him for everything (he's an 'adult', after all) whatever reserve funds he has will be drained real soon. As long as his mother doesn't continue to enable him by slipping him cash, though ...

not sure why parents tolerate their kids mooching off of them when they are 18+
i know in some circumstances i can be mutually beneficial, but this is not one of them
mother has probably been enabling this behavior since the kid was young
