I’ve said goodbye to WOW before. I stop playing for periods of time but continue paying. I move characters from one account to another and close one account, while leaving something subscribed that I can come back to when the feeling hits. When I’m bored, I play one of the other toons, roll an alt or level someone else’s alt. I craft, I PVP but its all space filler now. More often than not, I’d rather read a book, watch a movie or do most anything other than log into WOW.
Playing since BETA, we’ve gone from an all time high of five accounts in our household down to one. Over the past few weeks I’ve moved the remaining outlier high level characters on to a single monster account. However, no one has the slightest interest in playing on it at all. My nephew has moved on to Wii pastures while my son and I are combo’ing thru Age of Conan. In the fall or winter of this year, Warhammer will release – the game I’ve been waiting for and I’ll be playing there. Whether or not I stick to AOC or WAR, I have no interest in continuing to play WOW. I’m more likely to return to EQ2 or EVE. I might even try Chronicles of Spellborn if it releases in my life time.
For the first time ever, I’m going to shut down the final account. It’s just stupid to keep playing for a game that we’re not playing. At this point, I have no interest in coming back for WotLK. I’ve loved WOW. I’ve hated WOW and Blizzard. From day one, WOW has been the most thrilling, sweeping and angst filled MMO ride I’ve had the pleasure to experience. But the time has come for me and mine to move on.
Bye-bye WOW and take care.
PS – No, you can’t have our stuff! KK. Tnx. Buhbye.
