World of Warcraft is an incredibly social experience, and that's what makes it compelling. It's actually a good way to meet people, catch up with friends (who can live anywhere in the world - a distinct advantage) and generally hang out in an environment with real people constantly chatting. That does mean that people whose real world social lives are lacking are likely to find WoW very comforting etc, but - again - WoW isn't a substitute for socialising, it's simply a different way of doing it.
To someone looking over the shoulder of a gamer playing WoW that may not be apparent, but WoW is definitely not an antisocial game.
