It’s Been A Good Run…
Ever get the feeling that you’re completely overwhelmed, really should get some posts written, and lack any inspiration for writing?
Yeah… multiply that by ten and you’d get how I currently feel.
I’m sure this doesn’t surprise most of you, since there really hasn’t been much in the way of WoW-related posts here in a while anyway, but my account has been cancelled for a while and the remaining game time expired a couple of weeks ago. I’m just not interested in the game like I used to be. I’m not excited about Cataclysm, and I really don’t care for the overall direction the game is headed. There really isn’t a single reason, the game just isn’t fun for me anymore.
That’s really tough to say, but sometimes reality can be a bitch.
I’ve had my account since launch. I’ve taken breaks, sure, but I’ve grown attached to my characters. I’ve invested a lot of time and energy in their development over the years, and I always found the game enjoyable (although, in all honesty, most of that was playing with a large group of friends… most of whom have since moved on as well).
And now… well, now I just don’t care anymore. It’s painful, really, because I’m extremely attached to Byaghro (my Druid, and second character I created).
So, where do I take the blog from here? Thankfully I already made the migration to a site that was not game-specific, so I’ll basically continue what I’ve been doing the past few months. I am, however, going to be very sporadic in posting for a while. I’m about to be working full-time again in addition to taking a full class load, and, to be brutally honest, I’m not sure how much time I’ll really have to dedicate to anything beyond work and school for a little bit.
I’m not going anywhere, though. At least not yet (though it is starting to get kind of lonely over here… )
In the meantime I’m playing around with Starcraft 2 (and enjoying it) on a completely rebuilt machine (and let me tell you, Core i7 plus 6 GB RAM plus Dual SLI Geforce 250s make for an awesome gaming machine), and I’m thinking about going back and playing the entire God of War series again.
And A Request
I’d still like to get some guest authors posting. I had no responses to the previous request, but if you are interested (whether you are a blog author already or have never written anything online before doesn’t matter) please let me know. The topic is pretty much open to anything you are interested in, so if there is something you have been wanting to write about but did not think it fit well somewhere else, feel free to bring it here!
Now to go figure out whether I’ve lost my mind accepting a full-time position and taking six classes in the Fall…





Aww, as long as you’re happy with what you’re doing! I tend to do my non-WoW posts over at my Rant Page, so I’m fresh out of ideas but if you have any hints of ideas, I could wrangle up a guest post for you if you like
email me and we can always sort something out. Good luck with the incoming work!
Jaedia´s last [type] ..The Rogue Finally Made It
I’ve been considering a small project actually, so I’ll get back to you soon and let you know what it is and see if you’re interested
And thank you! I’m just hoping I didn’t bite off more than I can chew, so-to-speak
I’ve found that the phrase “absence makes the heart grow fonder” only works in limited duration absences. I had nearly quit WoW myself not too long ago. But I have a friend who still plays, and a couple other friends who recently started playing again, so I restored my account.
At first I had to fight the sense of boredom and having “done it all already”-ness. But then something interesting happened. I decided that the ridiculous cost of gems meant that it would be a good idea to level my own Jewelcrafter. I have a mage who was in the mid-60s that I had periodically worked on, but I never quite got to the gem cutting stage in JC with her. So I decided to start spending more time leveling her and working on her Jewelcrafting… and the higher level I got, the more I started enjoying playing again.
In fact I got her to 80 last Friday and spent the entire weekend farming Heroics via the random dungeon finder. Earned all the achievements (both for completing Northrend heroics and for grouping with random players) and she’s now my second best geared toon.
In any case I will miss you in WoW. I always enjoyed the time we played together. Let me know if you eventually pick up SW:TOR, because I’ll definitely look for you there.
And good luck with the work and the project!
I’ll definitely be around here still (and when I’m back to a place where the net connection doesn’t suck so hard I’ll be online in SC2 more as well), and am planning to pick up SW:TOR for sure (hopefully I’ll have more free time then… we’ll see).
Speaking of the project, I may solicit a guest post from you for it too :p
