I don't know if it has been mentioned yet, but deleting his toons would do
nothing
, as they can easily be restored by GMs (along with all lost items) by submitting one simple ticket.
Oh, and: roll a gnome death knight with pink hair on his server, level up to 80 and gank him like there is no tomorrow, no matter where he is.

He obviously doesn't want to be bothered, let him play 24 hours of the day I say.

In my experience only responsiblity overrides a gamers desire to play a game. If your brother did not feel responsible, or accountable with his work, then WoW will always win.
I had a similar situation in college, I was in the NROTC and played SWG and had classes. When it came to the Navy I always met my obligations, because I was accountable, and I enjoyed it. On the other hand my classes did not fair as well, and I can say I spent too much time with SWG, and not enough on my studies. I eventually came to the decision the Naval life wasn't what I wanted for myself, so after leaving the program I found myself at a school I didn't want to be in, where I wasn't doing great, and wound up leaving for home.
In retrospect I wouldn't have it any other way, I have a job I love, I plan to go back to school in the next year or so and I enjoy wow during much of my free time away from work. The important thing is I always pull myself away when I need to go to bed because of work. I always leave time to go to the movies, or out to eat with friends and family.
What your brother needs is to realize the importance of those things, they're not around forever. Before you know it the one time you miss out, and you miss out for good.
Set up a situation where your brother pays for his internet usage. It doesn't take long to realize it's not free, and somtimes you have to sacrifice your time and resources to have the things you want.

I too am anxious for some updates. I have literally read EVERY single post on this thread. At first I was not going to reply, but as I read, I decided to throw in my two cents.
First of all, I think FORCING him to go cold turkey is possibly the worst thing you can do. FORCING him to limit his play time is equally as bad. The fact of the matter is: He will only quit if he wants to quit. I am not addicted to WoW, but I can tell you, any human being who worked for so long on something, only to have someone swoop in and delete everything I worked for, or limit my time on it... I would be very angry.
You can not force him to quit, and you can not force him to WANT to quit, but you can open him to other things. I believe if you got him out of the house, and took him simply out to dinner with friends, or to a bar for a beer (No, I am not saying turn him into an alcoholic) eventually he will begin to think that the things he does on the days you take him out are more fun than the days he stays in and plays WoW. Maybe even eventually he will look forward more to the days out than the raids.
When you are out with him, engage him in conversations that interest him, yet not about WoW. At all costs, try to get him to not think about the game. Hunting, fishing, whatever else besides wow he likes to do. Maybe even take him out to do these things.
If your excuse (I know "excuse" has a negative connotation, my apologies, I'm not blaming anything on you) is that you yourself do not have time to take him out...
well frankly if you care about him enough, you will make time. Just like he makes time for the game.
Anyways, that is my two cents.
Like I said, I am waiting more news on how his counseling went

Try to show him how his life used to be, to make him realize the difference. I hope he will snap out of the trance soon, as you seem to be really troubled with his state. At least, the worst you can do is giving up on him, if you manage to help him overcome his addiction he will thanks you, one day anyway... Good luck.

I was also addicted untill about a week ago, then, i buyed Diablo II !
Im playing it whit my friends, and i have time to do alot more.
And i dont feel that addicted anymore... Also i cancelled the pay-thing in
WoW so i cant log in. This also helped me alot.
So -
Get him into another game, wich is not
that much addictive as WoW
When you think he is "Ready"
get him into something else wich he think is fun.
Hope this will help or something... It did for me!
