I haven’t blogged about Warcraft lately. Up until a few weeks ago i was pretty happy with the new friends and guild i had joined and there really wasn’t time to write about it because i was playing the game, having fun. Well, that guild kind of bled out from self inflicted bullet wounds. The same old crap with casual players butting heads with more serious ones. I am a serious player. I guess you have to be when you spend like 6 hours a day playing a game. Don’t have a lot of time for people who sign on once every few days to say hello then log off. Anyway, the people who ran our guild just got sick of the bullshit complaining from these casuals and basically all quit within a few days of each other. I’d say about 15 people left, which essentially killed our group. It is sad because we were good.
So i was faced with a new (old) problem. Do i find another guild? Do i quit the game? Do i re-roll? I decided to retire my current characters and make a new one (which i almost always do). I’m having fun again, but i am essentially playing by myself.
Starting again new is getting so damned old.
I do this every time. Surely there is something else i can do with my time that is as engrossing as playing WoW. If there is, i just haven’t found it. I love to cook but that hasn’t reached the same level of ‘hobby’ as WoW has.
This all made me think of somewhat recent ‘friends’ who have come in and out of my life. You know, one thing i can say that was great about this guild i was in was that there were some real friends there. One thing i learned is that when someone tells you they are your friend, they almost never are — and the people who never bring up stuff like that can be your best friends. Something to think about for the future. Friends don’t just vanish on you.
