Last week, in an attempt to balance RL needs and WoW desires, I canceled my Warcraft account.
The reasons were many, but I eventually decided that if I could find a way to balance these two things I would continue to subscribe to WoW, not out of any incredible love for the game, but because I really love the social aspect of playing with y'all.
After reading about the expansion, I've decided to keep my account canceled. Blizzard obviously has their money train figured out, and I'm not going to begrudge them what is an unmistakably successful business model. But I'm no longer going to give them money so that they can simply throw a new skin on the expansion template year after year.
I could go on, but who wants to hear me bitch about the expansion? No one.
So the 24th will be it. I'd originally planned on deleting my toons, but have since decided to keep them around in case Blizzard does something interesting.
Right now, I'm kicking the tires of some other online games. Puzzle Pirates looks pretty sweet so far. PM me if you want to hook up with for some pirate fun. (it's a joke, son. get it? hook! like hook hand!)

I can understand wanting to move on.
I also really want to thank you for some remarkable contributions to the forums and especially the wiki.
Thanks Gleja!

I will always remember my first BC enchant from you. +24 attack power to bracers. It was the coolest thing ever. Didn't even know about it till you brought it up in gchat.
Dammit! I finally remember my freakin WOW account password and you quit;
thats bloody typical. Three months off did me a world of good...although my
eyes still burn when I go outside. Reality is tolerable about ten hours a day,
sober. Once again I am completely off on another tangent; I think what I am
trying to say is that I hope after a break that you can rediscover some fun
to this nonsense. Until then...keep away from Urban Meyer, he has put out a
restraining order.

I had turned my forum icons off 'cause there were too many that were NSFW. So I turned them back on to see what y'all were talking about.
Then I turned them back off.
