Not really much of a blogger myself, (I’m a late bloomer) but I have finally discovered the true usefulness of this concept. And no, it is not necessarily to share your thoughts and feelings with other people, but rather to feed your own ego-balloon and to get things out of your system. The possibility of influencing the few souls that may wander in here by accident also adds to the benefits, however far-fetched.
And thus i commence the insanity:
The title of this post refers to the fact that I quit playing World of Warcraft over two months ago. This has not been a hardship for me, and has gone quite smoothly up until this Friday. As I was browsing through the Dark Legacy Comic forums I found a link to the 2.3 patch-notes, and found to my tremendous surprise that they have actually made some crucial changes to the Rogue class for the better!
This discovery instantly spurred the thoughts of re-installing the game, and get back in there as soon as possible. But before i started rummaging through the house for the CDs, I started thinking. What on earth would I possibly gain from this? Sure, I really wanted to put these changes to the test. Sure, I have been craving for a new game to play lately, and the only other promising MMOs aren’t due to be released until 2008. Sure, I would have had a great time for one or two weeks. But this would be followed by a month of annoyance, grief and anger over almost exactly the same things that rightfully pissed me off about the game while I was playing, and which led to me tossing it away. Almost everyone i knew and enjoyed playing with have also quit the game, so I probably wouldn’t last long before starting to curse the game followed by a brutal uninstall.
So despite the urge to re-install, log-in and melt faces all day day, I shall continue to suffer through this celibacy until a new, promising game emerges.
Woe is me.
