Hopefully at some point I will write something other than boring meta-posts. You know that it’s a boring topic when you have to insert kindergarten jokes in it to keep you amused (while writing it, not just reading it)

Wonderful people like you keep me playing and keep me amused, which is a hard thing to do anymore. I just wanted to say thanks man, and keep those wonderful, and even more important, just plain silly posts coming man. Blogs are a wonderful way to get stuff out there, and let other folks in.

Keep it up, and take care my aussie friend.

If you rage that much, you have to care.

As for the Mother-in-Law, I get on with her better (over sustained periods) than my ex. In fact I have been in contact with her post separation, unlike my ex. The only hindrance will be how much time she lives with me over the next 4 months, which might be 50%… or more if they fight within 10 minutes of touchdown (normal result)

I really need to finish my meta-wow-blogging post. In a sense that explains why bloggers do “burn out”. I’ll see what I can do this week, no promises on quality of course.

I think that number of farewell posts is surprisingly accurate :-) We all know how hard it can be to leave, really.

Although I am shocked and appalled to hear the community is still going strong. Why aren’t you all in mourning, damn it? I’ve only been gone for a couple months!

I laughed. I remember when you had to hand pick each stage, then the “bird” would fly off in the wrong direction then slowly head to the right destination…

Like many I couldn’t afford my 1st mount until later, even then it was purchased with a loan… my 1st epic mount came with BC because I couldn’t afford it…

In fact, at that point I was on to my 3rd character (Gnome) and he was the 1st to reach 60, because it was so hard to get a group and all my friends were always 5 levels ahead of me… or raiding… so it was solo grind to 60.

I believe the difference between your wife still finding enjoyment and you only getting minor and occasional enjoyment is understandable, ultimately we all want something slightly different from our lives anyway, throw in some years, expansions and prior experiences and WoW (as well as anything else) is going to mean different things.

To be honest there are nights where I log on and don’t have fun, there are some nights I preempt this by not logging on at all. Still, just as I get to the point that I think it’s time to say goodbye forever, something will catch my attention, or I will toss away the activity which is draining my enjoyment.

I’m realistic, I know that like Kirzzlybear, one day I may be professing my undying love for the game and blogging, and the next I will have had enough… but the game will go on without me (quite rude I think, but if the world really doesn’t revolve around me (still yet to see the proof), then I guess that’s OK).

Thanks for taking the time to share Amoro

Every generation of bloggers give birth to the next. Eventually in time some in each generation set that came before moves on over time. I myself was finally happy to move on from blogging about WoW myself to other games. It was just time to move on.

I also do believe when and if WoW dies it will absolutely be a very slow death with lots of people throwing HoT to keep it alive.

Im a vanilla vet, I remember Rag 40mans sans vent. Guild leader had macros and one said ” SIT DOWN AND STOP TYPING INSTRUCTIONS IMMENENT ” then BAM, Macro scroll. Getting my tier helm from ony when our guild downed her for the first time… before the “dressing room ” before the LFG channel, when you had to fly to one FP chose the next then fly again. No auto course for you! epic mounts where 1000g atainable only at level 60, little ones 100g at level 40. And those that had them where revered! Scholo was a 10man and Ubers was a place to be feared… Thats the wow I love. Thats the wow I miss.

I dont know if ill ever be able to find that old spark again. Looks like my wife has, But she started at the end of BC so i got a few years on her yet. But the only time I want to play, is when I see her playing. And even then its only half the time. I think I dont really want wow, I want to have that much fun in a game again… Thanx for listenin Gnome.
