Although there is no official diagnosis, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) recently rejected a suggestion to include addiction to video WoW cataclysm Gold games in the upcoming Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V)--to be released in May 2013, researchers across all over the world are still looking into methods for identifying the cause, treating, and even preventing this now acknowledged mental health problem.

The study paid special interest to the aspects of the use of video games which included time spent playing games, the titles played over the past year, as well as issues that arise from playing. The researchers then utilized Gamefaqs.com to categorize the 2,652 titles that were available to 15 games that are mutually exclusive online multiplayer role-playing games, other games that involve role-playing, such as first-person shooter, action adventure Other shooter sports general driving, rhythm platformer, real-time-strategy and other strategy games puzzle board and card games, gambling and more.
