Indefinite Hiatus

As you may have noticed, I’ve not posted much.  The reason is, well, I”ve not much to say on the topic.

I got bored with WoW, and haven’t been able to stay involved when I’ve logged on.

Now, I know darn good and well part of that’s because I haven’t meshed with another guild yet.  The one I’ve joined is good, and the other people are fun, but I just haven’t clicked.

A big part of THAT, of course, is that I’ve not gotten on.  You don’t play with people, you don’t develop a relationship.  It’s that easy.

But I’m getting sorta tired of Kara again…  And I can’t really work up the enthusiasm for ZA.  And as for Sunwell plateau – I think if I’d not hit it while I was tired – on two consecutive evenings – I’d have found it a lot more interesting.  Now, however, I’ve gotten it into my head as “more of the same, just tweaked”.

I’m also quite certain I’m not going to put in any more 12-20 hour weeks on the game for a while.  Three or four hours, once a week, sure.  That’s what I’ve been doing.  And that brought me up hard against another fact.  Bluntly, once you’ve hit 70 there’s not much story for the casual player.  Sure, it’s supposed to be MMP – you’re SUPPOSED to interact with a bunch of other players.  That’s the basic reason for the huge raids.  But I work and cook and have a few other interests and, well, there’s a limit.

And all I do at level 70 for two hours is pursue another quest or two.  Which means I’m done for a while.

Now the good news is I’ve been here before on other things.  It’s quite possible I’ll become interested again in six months or so.  It’s not WoW, it’s me – I’ve burned out.  So I’m not saying goodbye, just… later.  Heck, there are some good folk I’ve met who’s blogs I’ll continue to read for the pleasure of maintaining contact.

I just won’t be writing about WoW for a while.

If it’s not fun, don’t do it.

See you later, friends.
