    Since Amazon arrived in the UK and started shipping packages (and groceries) either same-day or next-day, brick and mortar retailers have been forced to step up their game. Sainsbury's, one of the big four supermarkets, has already taken one big step to boost its presence by acquiring Argos, but it's now decided to take a page from Amazon's playbook and begin trialling its own one-hour delivery service. It's called "Chop Chop" and it costs £4.99 per order.

    Each week, Robin Torres contributes Azeroth Interrupted, a column about balancing real life with WoW.Today I'm going to answer some Reader Mail from Berzurk:Hello Robin,I played the original EQ for about a year, and I took a break for a long time. I just last week got into WoW, and I am loving it. I have been scared, however, that it may end up ruining my life. My g/f doesn't like video games much, and I'm about to get a new job to help pay bills. I can't, however, give up my passion for MMO's. It's just my nature. I did have one idea though. In your opinion, do you believe it would be beneficial to just play for a set amount a day on WoW, instead of hours at a time? I know that life comes first, but I almost always have about 2 spare hours to myself everyday. Do you believe that maybe an hour a day would be a decent amount of playtime? Thanks. Berzurk, Human Warrior, Lvl 8, Stormwind CityHello Berzurk,Because you are aware enough of the addiction risks in playing WoW and have already proposed a solution, you are definitely on the right track to playing WoW without it hurting Real Life. You can play WoW for an hour a day and have fun, but there are limitations to what you can do in WoW with that schedule of which you should be aware.
