The time has come

[Littleburst]

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!

Sounds like a wise decision. Good luck with all the spare time!

I fail to see how people can think there's an option it's not a good choice.

Multi,

I understand the sentiment but it will be a bummer to see you go. We got the new BH boss down five times in the last two days as a guild, so we continue to have fun.

Your realization about other things in life is a good one and it sounds like you should take an indefinite break. The only thing I'd encourage you to consider is not deleting all your toons. There was some good time and effort put into those resources that you made and I think it would be a shame to throw that away. It sounds like you may not be back, and that's totally fine, but you never know what the future holds. Doesn't cost you anything to have your digital selves in the cryo chamber instead of in the graveyard.

But whatever you decide I wish you all the best and hope you enjoy your new experiences as much as if not more than you enjoyed your time with WoW.

LOL damnit no one online to give away stuff! Gave some of it to guild bank, the big payout I will try later. So be on tonight if you want a share of the 700k gold. Or be square or something.

Already deleted every toon except mages, sorry merc!

LOL doh!

I wont put in writing what Id like to convey, because its frowned upon in most establishments. yet... you could seek alternate methods to "recoup" you time and "investments". Maybe put you in a good spot to have freedom to purchase some new activity stuff.

(wink)

I wonder what 700K and some mages would cost someone in the real world?

I understand the feeling. I slowed down my playing a lot over the last year. Then there were a few months when i could not play due to a relocation and loss of all my worldly belongings ( including my PC ) It was then that i realized this is what I love to do. I do other things as well, but I enjoy gaming more than most of it. I feel guilty from time to time as most of my family and friends think I'm wasting my life. But If i enjoyed other things as much as this, I would do those things more.

So my point is never do things just to please others or to fit in. be yourself, and be happy 8) Just be responsible ( work.. pay your way etc. ) If anything you do, games or otherwise, keeps you from being responsible, than thats when you need to quit.

Good luck with your change, I hope its for the best and wish you all the best in life!

It's not to late for a Blizzard restore! I think your making a huge mistake. If your friends have problems with your mmo then you need new friends. Do what makes you happy not what you think makes others happy. Have you considered how this effects your online friends? Just saying.

Good luck, have fun!

We'll miss you! If you ever change your mind, hopefully blizzard will let you do a restore.

Good luck in wherever your life ends up taking you!

Best wishes in whatever adventures you chose for the future.

The whole Delete thing is symbolic. It's a step he has taken. Let him do it.
Everybody knows Blizzard will restore everything in a heartbeat if he ever wanted to come back.

For some, playing 2-3 hours a weeks lacks the great feeling of achieving anything significant. that's where you start adding too many hours and then start feeling bad about it.
Lets face it, WoW (like any MMO) is desgned to be a time-sink. And that's exactly what it does, and it's the best at what it does.

If you want to keep playing, keep playing. If you want to quit, quit ;-)
