what would you do with a 27 year old moody college student still living at home plays WOW daily/nightly.?

generally makes good grades although has some authority problems. His parents support him entirely, physically, emotionally & monetarily and refuse to give ultimatums like time limit to finish, get a job or move out. What can I tell his parents to encourage him to get a life?

1. You can't tell anyone to do something specific with their child, you have to let them do what they want. World of Warcraft is rather addictive and should be considered a game, not reality. If the student plays all day and it begins to interfer with grades, social life, jobs, etc. then it does become a problem. Maybe encourage the student to leave the home and be on his/her own for a while.
2. personally I'd just remove a part of the computer. Something subtle like an essential wire/fuse. Stop him playing on it all day anyways.
3. Unfortunately it is up to the parents to decide when it is time for the "moody" college student to leave the nest. They are however not doing him any good by allowing him to remain at home and play WOW all the time and support him in every way. If this person is your friend I would suggest that you perhaps try to invite them out for some activities that you know they are interested in and you know they will participate in. If you are "close" to the family you could perhaps talk to the Mother or the Father and "feel" them out about how they feel about their Son being at home so late in life. Only then will you know how to talk to them about it. Good luck. Peace, Love & Happiness
4. Nothing wrong with living at home but dude should be paying his own way at that age.
5. His parents have already opted not to make him a man. 27, a student and playing games every night? Unless he's getting a PhD., he's already a complete failure, and it's their fault. There's nothing you can say, and if you're dating him, you should RUN the other way. He will never be a man.
6. It's really up to the parents. If they don't see an issue with him living there then it's not your problem. You didn't say who you are in relation to this college student, (sister, friend, g/friend etc...) Anyway it would be reasonable for him to work while going to school, since he has enough time on his hands playing "Wow".
7. Say nothing. His parents never should of had him.
8. I'd just be glad he wasn't my son. There is nothing you can tell his parents that will get them to say anything to him unless they're already considering confronting him.
9. Why should he move out? Except for sex his parents have provided him with everything he needs. This man/child has no motivation to leave. They should watch the movie Failure to Launch. They need to listen closely to Maconahay when he tells his friends why he still lives at home.
