The time has come

[Multibocks]

Ok so after 7 years of MMOs and countless hours of fun. I have decided to quit WoW cold turkey. By that I mean delete my characters, remove all websites I visit for WoW and pick up new hobbies. I'm doing this not because I hate the game. I actually still like playing. This is more a realization that my excessive play has made me a one dimensional person.

I have nothing interesting to say in most my conversations with friends, whom do not play video games. I want to be more interesting and to do that I need to have more varied interests that I can talk about. No one in my social circles cares about my epics, and most of them can't really grasp what I'm talking about.

So it's been a blast. I loved PvPing with you all, and sometimes PvE, but I gots to go! With that said I will log in tomorrow and pass out any items and gold that I have. See you tomorrow for the last time I will be on WoW and really any MMO. Later!

Good luck with your new life!

And I hope you won't see my reply, since this is a wow/mmo website.
If you DO read this reply, then SHAME ON YOU :-)

Well shoot multibocks. Part of me is sad to see you go, but the other part is happy to see you going for something you want. Just be careful, replacing WoW with other social activities such as watching Midget Pr0n may not be a good topic starter.

I don't get it, I play wow a lot, i also do 70 hours a week, play rugby, fly to perth constantly, go out clubbing, hang out with friends, movies etc... how do you not find the time with that? I easy do 20-30 hours wow a week which is plenty imo

Some ppl are able to have a good social life, and some dont. A friend of mine was crazy addicted to wow for several years, school grades went down, never ever went out clubbing, no girlfriend, no nothing! But one day he quit, and got his life back on track, now hes lost weight, more social then ever, and its great to see him loving himself again.

I see WoW as a hobby now, something fun that I do beside school, work, workout and chores. And Ive found a balance between social life and WoW. It wasnt allways like this thou, back in TBC it was an addiction. Skipped classes cus I was up raiding all night, and GF was raging all the time cus of WoW.

We are different, and if this is what it takes for Multibocks to get on with his life, I say go for it! GL with the rest of your life

Do not give up something you enjoy to try and fit in some mythological social order. You get one shot at life and if you enjoy playing wow thats all that matters. In your effort to fit in you will be cutting off part of who you are. Big mistake friend! I think you are quiting for all the wrong reasons. If you do decide to quit I would strongly suggest you not delete the characters.

Yes and no, I see your point. But I enjoy smoking, the feeling of a good smoke after a nice meal, the first cup of coffee in the morning on my balcony with a marlboro, ... still I want to stop smoking cause it's bad for health and it costs me a fortune (over the course of 10y it's a nice 2nd hand porsche I smoked away). If I could smoke 3 cigs a day I would probably keep doing it, but unfortunately I can't control how much I smoke as long as I keep doing it. So throwing cigs away seems to be the only solution. There is to some extend a parallel and smoking for some people.

I say you need better friends.

Jokes aside, I have 4 kids, one is 4 wks old this week. I used to play every night 2-3 hrs a night. I currently play maybe 2-3 hrs a week. I have plenty of social activities, and plenty of input into conversation...but there was a time where I didnt. I believe in balance in everything in life. Play, Social, Work, Family... Play doesnt have to be cut, just a diffent kind of play for you to be happy.

And thats the ultimate goal. Make yourself happy in your surroundings. Me personally, Id rather spend 2-3 hrs a week or even a night, upstairs on a computer, drinking kool-aid while the kids sleep, than at a bar gettin drunk. My wife like it that im safe at home, and shes ok with me having a little nerdy side.

IDGAF about what my friends think to the point I let it alter my life. If they dont like it, I need better supporting friends.

7 yrs is a while. and clearly understandable with that point alone. GL HF, try not to wipe in RL... there is no Aggro reset.
