Goodbye to WoW

Tue

Dec '07

I'm quietly waving goodbye to World of Warcraft after 3 years.

I considered leaving as far back as last year, during the Burning Crusade beta. After such a long wait for WoW's first expansion, it didn't deliver much ooomph for me.

Sakkara, Nelg and I began started discussing other games (mostly Warhammer at the time) over our usual dinners out. Eventually we all decided that our next 'online home' would be Age of Conan, in fact our entire guild will likely migrate to Funcom's upcoming MMO. At first we worried that AoC was coming out too soon, but then it got delayed and now here I am, ready to leave WoW while AoC is still a few months away.

I won't have troubles finding things to occupy my time, if anything I have too much on my plate for hours of gametime anyway.

I was going to write some sappy stuff here about my experiences in WoW, but maybe later. I did do the cheesy forums goodbye post. Right now there are two days left on my account and I think I'll login to transfer my collected materials and gold to the guild bank.
