A 15-year old swedish teen gathered with his friends to play the latest installment of World of Warcraft, “Wrath of the Lich King” on a Saturday night. 20 hours later, the teen suffered a convulsion at around 2 pm. He was rushed to a nearby hospital. The teen’s condition was stabilized and on the way to full recovery. The cause of his convulsion were sleep deprivation, lack of food and continuous playing.

The boy’s father mentioned that the teen spent most of his time playing the game and doesn’t eat much. The Wrath of Lich King isn’t over yet when the Game Over treatment center in Linkoping got flooded by calls of the parents due to the “Wrath of the Lich King” World of Warcraft installment.
