Burnt out by WoW?

Ivelliis · 11-02-2006, 03:34 PM

Couldn't think of a decent tiel, so that'll do^.

Lately I find I play WoW yes and yes, mainly due to going out a lot more, and going to a lot more parties *snickers*

And frankly...I'm bored. I am classleader for the hunters of my raidgroup, but due to my inactivity they want someone to be "deputy CL" for when I'm not there (more often than not).

I did DM North with my guild tonight for some beads, longest I've played other than raiding in a long while..

Anyone else feel the same? My dad has already pre-ordered BC for me, but I'm thinking...should I just cancel it?

You can always cancel for awhile and come back. I don't think you can ever terminate your account in a way that makes it impossible to return to WoW again so all your chars will remain if you ever feel like coming back. Give yourself a break and don't worry, it happens to all of us with all games.

Ye dont cancel WoW, just stop playing for abiy, tell your guild you're taking a break. I had a 3 month break where i was boed of the grind. After 3 months i'm back and yes i know wow is still a grind but i find it a fun grind (well for a few months more i guess) dont look too deeply into if WoW is pointless etc just play when its fun , take a break when its not.
TBC seems to be bringing a few new aspects i'm interested in so i'm gonna hang around till then, hopefully cya there [img]smile.gif[/img]

If I don't cancel it, I'll keep playing, I know I will. To counter that I think I'll uninstall it...

I've just ordered Football Manager 07, so that can keep me busy.

Now contemplating whether to shard all my stuff and hand it out to my nice-friends in game *grins*

I've seen it before -- don't shard your gear, just walk away. Shard your gear in a month or two if you know you don't want to come back.

TBC is a *new game* so don't go lopping off the heads of your level 60s only to find you regret it later.

But if you really want to leave, there is more wisdom in a clean break, so that you can't be tempted back.

But you need to let your decision stew to make sure it's the right one. You yunguns have your impetuousness, and need to learn to sit on a decision for a while to make sure it's the right one for you.

Bah! Just give all you characters to me and be done with wow. This will be the best decision you'll ever make in your entire life. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Dont forget to officially step down your position if you know your going to take a long break from WoW.
