[General Discussion] Quitting MMORPGs

I know how you feel. I played WoW for over a year. Every time. "I'll quit when my subscription runs out" but every time I ended up renewing. 4 times in a row.

I'm clean for 3 months now, and I don't regret quitting at all. I have so much free time now that I didn't have back then. Freaking raids always sucked away your time.

Have to say though, I miss by buddies. We used to talk on ventrillo all the time. Good days...but that guild turned in a big epeen guild that only cares about getting epics, and things like friendship weren't important anymore, so it was a good choice.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Although I made alts, that didn't help to keep me in the game, and after that, I just stopped playing altogether.

You sound like me. I ended with 5 60s. I quit for many reasons but one of them would be that I got tired of the raiding routine, and especially bored of doing the same place over, over, over and over.

Blizz is gonna shoot itself in the foot alright with the expansion. I will never come back that's for sure. Basically the hardcore raiders get fucked over. The years they spent raiding to get the gear they have now is basically wasted in the expansion. Combine that with changing instances to 25 man, and you got a winner.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
