How Do I Help My Friend Get Rid of His World of Warcraft Addiction?

Question by rob_sarian: How do I help my friend get rid of his World of Warcraft addiction?
My friend is seriously addicted to WoW. He hasn’t turned into a society-shunning hermit … YET. I don’t want it to get to that point.

Any serious and real-world recommendations on how I can help him get rid of his WoW addiction (or at least to greatly temper it) will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
