/Me is back

Kind of.

After a long absence from this, and other blogs, I'm going to try and get back into the whole swing of things. I know it's been especially long since I posted in this blog. Over a year in fact. More like 15 or so months. That, my friends, is a long time.

Looking at my post prior to this, about me saying how WoW does certain things wrong, but is still good. It isn't. Only at the beginning of last year did it kick things into gear. Making it easier to attain better gear, and so forth. Catering slightly more, ever so slightly more, to the casual crowd. Said crowd is made up of people like me, and like my friends. We are people who don't have all the time in the world to play the game, but we played it a lot.

Now we quit, at least for now. Shashi, Rob, and I got fed up with it. The people in the game bring so much real life emotion to the game that it sickens me. That an action in the game is, somehow, a reflection of you as an actual person. It is not. I left my guild, one that I had been co-founder of, and a long standing member. I left because I got bored, because I didn't like a person, because I just couldn't be bothered anymore. All of a sudden I was greedy, evil, and oh so hate-able. It's ridiculous. What's worse is that I felt that I should get back at the person who instigated all this hate against me - but I didn't. I was good. I figured that it was just a game, that he and everyone else were just people in the game. So what if they were mad at my avatar - that's not me. Although, with all my talk of in-game stuff not relating to the real life person, this guy talked to me over Vent like he was 'all that'. So I got tired of the game.

I have no super crazy allegiance to my friends, even to my girlfriend. But if the people I enjoy playing with stop playing. I just don't feel it anymore. As soon as the fun stops, WoW becomes a grind. With the few of us playing together with various other good friends we met online, it was great. But now that's gone. I think when the next patch hits WoW, or maybe the next expansion in a year's time, we might try it out again. But until then, Dealies, Rufias, Vtac, and Rufi, are having nap time.

I may also start transcribing my sort of reviews from my notebook (as in an actual book, and not a laptop) to here, and start trying to do this kind of thing regularly. I play more than enough games to see what's good or bad about them, so why not share my opinion with the interweb?

Anyways, seeing as this is my kind of return to this stuff sort of, I'll end it here, and hopefully I won't disappear for another 15 months xD
