A Slow Return Via World of Warcraft
by RJO on Apr.12, 2009, under World of Warcraft, mmo
I’ve decided I’ve cleared my head enough and reprioritized to slowly introduce a little MMO action back in to the mix. I’ve decided that because from here on out I plan on playing extremely casually (no event scheduling if I can avoid it – I run the MMO schedule not the MMO runs my schedule) that I would give World of Warcraft a go for my return.
If you are looking for casual it doesn’t get much more casual that World of Warcraft. I’ve set a few ground rules for myself on this return to ensure I stay casual:
- One MMO at a time – period. the end.
- No scheduling / signing up for events. If/when I hit end game this might change to one scheduled event a week kind of deal – but for now I come and go as I please.
- No playing until the baby is in bed for the night including weekends. Usually I’d play on the weekends while the baby napped – I found this was prime productive time for other tasks I was pissing away.
I have a few challenges going forward the primary of which is that WoW is not exactly my favorite MMO. My friends play Horde (which I seriously dislike) on a PvP server (double gah) so from the get go there are a few things playing against WoW but we’ll see if I can get by them.
If World of Warcraft doesn’t work out for me I’m not sure what I’ll do. But we shall see… For now I’m a Blood Elf Paladin on Daggerspine.
