Playing World of Warcraft can teach a gamer how to be good follower, a good leader and develop positive relationships because of the social interaction available in today's gaming world.

Video games have long been thought of as distractions to work and education rather than aids.

But there is a growing school of thought that says game playing in moderation and in your free time can make you more productive and successful in your career.

In our daily lives, we will encounter challenges that we learn something from. Video games can also present players with unexpected challenges.

Gamers learn to respond to, and even seek out, new challenges in order to progress. They also learn to improvise and are thus more likely to be able to solve real life problems creatively when there is no solution to be found in a manual.

Video games can train you to manage and organise high volumes of information.

Elliot Noss, chief executive of domain name provider Tucows, says spending some time playing World of Warcraft helped him become a better leader.

One of my favorite quotes from World of Warcraft is "Always take things in moderation, even World of Warcraft".
