Despite my critisisms of WoW in previous posts (which I still feel are valid), I started playing again last night. The sad truth is that despite a healthy social life with my wife, my surfing (as in waves, water) friends and tennis partners, I don't have an outlet for my geeky side. I missed my online buddies of the past few years, despite knowing them only through voice chat and guild chat.
Oh well. I'm hopeful that the game has changed a bit at the higher levels so that you can accomplish something without spending 4-6 hours in a sitting - it sounds like they took out some of the pulls in Scholo / Strat / BRS, which we always ran 5-man (10 in the case of UBRS). I never felt addicted to WoW before, but damn if you didn't have to play at an addict level just to get anything that was a upgrade at 60.
I rolled a priest, hoping that I'll be in demand while I get back to 60 and rejoin my friends. Definately a change of pace from my previous 60 shaman and rogue, and suprisingly it's kind of nice starting over from scratch (I deleted my characters when I cancelled back in February). I'm kind of hoping one of the people I mailed hundreds of gold to when I quit will hook me up with some 16-slot packs though - I forgot what a PITA it is to run out of space.
Oh well, just posting for the hell of it - like I said before, if I told this to any of my friends / family / coworkers they'd just look at me funny.
