Also glad that we're all learning to take the game less seriously. I am also looking to spend a little more time on my "for fun" casual alts on the RP server. My lovely warrior has like... 7 outfits now. I think I spend more time looking for clothes than I do leveling.

I was a wee bit worried that you were going to start foaming at the mouth again when we brought it up... like taking a recovering alcoholic to Oktoberfest. The wife and I have been feeling very much the same way since the end of The Burning Crusade. Strangely enough, we raid more now than we ever did before. We're cutting back at the moment to straighten some stuff out, but I expect to be back at it once the new raid instance debuts and there's progress to be made.Jon Blevinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02844700314444300514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-98202484097177760.post-36643151941278844152009-07-26T23:45:54.279-04:002009-07-26T23:45:54.279-04:00Yeah, I understand.
Basically, when all I was doi...Yeah, I understand.<br /><br />Basically, when all I was doing was logging in to do my dailies and to raid, I sat back and said, "What the hell? This is more like a job."<br /><br />I more or less tooled around on some alts until some friends were like, "Hey, let's go play on an RP server."<br /><br />Granted, we don't actually RP, but it's still a lot more fun than logging onto my Mage and doing dailies for a couple hours and then becoming bored.<br /><br />Plus, I'm learning how to tank as a Paladin. It's actually really fun.Viktor Mayrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870330160859276804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-98202484097177760.post-85093761051678238622009-07-26T21:10:15.861-04:002009-07-26T21:10:15.861-04:00"I don't know exactly what changed, but w..."I don't know exactly what changed, but when I got home I found I was much less intense about the game. And, somehow, that made it more fun."<br /><br />That rings incredibly true for me. I do know what happened (an unfortunate incident involving our GM (a RL friend) choosing raid progression over friendships, which has made me question our whole drive to excel in end-game pve), but deciding not to raid for now, and playing less overall, has not just made me like the game more (I'm leveling 4 alts XD - I know, I'm nuts) but also my life in general, not stressing about my son not wanting to go to sleep before raid start, whatever it was... If that makes sense. <br />I'm glad to hear that remembering that it's a game we're playing has made you enjoy it more. If only more people could learn that lesson. :o)Sarayanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972379878010641951noreply@blogger.com
