TWG on WoW

[stacer]

It should be noted that Stacer has upgraded to a full account, so we can send her teh lootz and things. She's already gotten some money and bags.

Now we'll just have to see how much self-control she actually has...

FHE didn't last as long as I thought it would, and I didn't go for the walk around Green Lake because it rained, so I'll be on later tonight after all. This really is a lot of fun.

[Soryn]

I went ahead and made an Undead warlock on your server, named Einah. When are you guys usually online? It would be neat if we could group together if I catch up any time soon, hehe ^^

[Tage]

Usually later in the evening, after 8pm ST or so. If you do a /who TWG you should be able to see who's online. A lot of people have invite privledges, so that shouldn't be a problem.

[Nessa]

Yep, I already invited her.

[Nessa]

My husband and I have come to the conclusion that we're closing our account. I'm so sorry guys. It was good times for me. It was fun to get to know y'all. I will miss the late-night instances and STV ganking. (Um, well maybe not that last one.)

/cries

So over the next couple of days I'll be sending stuff out and mailing my spare gold. This is why. Maybe one last dungeon for hurrahs, we'll see.

[Parker]

How sad!    It's been fun playing with you while it lasted, though.

[Tage]

Aw, darn. But we were so looking forward to having a good paladin to play with! Well maybe someday you'll decide it's worth the time and money again. Until then, it was fun playing with you.

[Fellfrosch]

I'm sorry to hear it, despite having just made the same decision myself. I didn't mail stuff out, though--how selfish of me.

[stacer]

Just as you all get me into it, you're leaving? Actually, though, I can understand. I spent a lot of time on it in the last couple of weeks, and now I'm kind of WoW-ed out. I'll get on later this week and hopefully be able to quest with other people, but doing it alone isn't so interesting at this point.

[Nytwalker]

It is much more fun when you can play with other people, Stacey, the problem we face is just getting people to same level so we can play together.

Nessa,    Just when we were getting to the fun stuff.  My guess is you guys decided it was just taking up too much time?  I can definitely understand that.  I'll throw in my 2 cents, then wish you luck:  Try setting either certain play times, or limiting the amount 0f hours you will play in a day or a week.  There is actually a built-in process for that in your account management (it will shut off the game once you have reached a certain amount of play time, however you set it up).  But, either way, we'll miss you!  My suggestion is you DO NOT sell your items or mail stuff away.  Just leave your account as it is, you may decide to pick it up again at some point and trust me, you do NOT want to start over.

[Nessa]

LOL, Micah!

Yes, I'm bummed, too, but that's how it goes. I haven't been successful in limiting my time. That's a terrible thing about my personality, I let myself get obsessed and have to cut myself off in order to get back to normal. I'm convinced that if I weren't Mormon I'd be an alcoholic or druggie or something.

I deleted all my toons except for Nessarose, and sent all her stuff out to Chimera's toons (including about 60g+ worth of herbs). I didn't delete her, just in case we decide to come back in the future (I wouldn't count on it, though, my husband has much more self control than I do), and I'll keep her gear. Besides, she's an herb/alch, it won't be hard to build up her supply. I'll send out most of my gold to Chimera, too. That's something I can always build up, should I need to.

But, I should be available for an instance on Friday night when Mark is working. I don't think he'll cancel the account before then.

[Parker]

Man, you even deleted your toons?  I could never do that.  I've let my account go inactive a couple of times, sometimes for four or five months, but I've always kept the toons and stuff.  Deleting the toons . . . would feel like murder to me.  Maybe I take this game too seriously.  Then again, I haven't been on lately--too much happening in real life.  I'm sure Heather and Micah are up to like lever 89 by now, and your character was probably right there with 'em.  Sigh.  But it was worth it--I got an editor to ask for my whole novel, so that has to be worth at LEAST 5 levels right there.

[Nessa]

Yes. The point of deleting the toons was to cut myself off. No temptation before we cancel the account. Nessarose is still there, though. I couldn't delete her if I tried.

[Parker]

That's a relief.

[Chimera]

Man, you even deleted your toons?  I could never do that.  I've let my account go inactive a couple of times, sometimes for four or five months, but I've always kept the toons and stuff.  Deleting the toons . . . would feel like murder to me.  Maybe I take this game too seriously.  Then again, I haven't been on lately--too much happening in real life.  I'm sure Heather and Micah are up to like lever 89 by now, and your character was probably right there with 'em.  Sigh.  But it was worth it--I got an editor to ask for my whole novel, so that has to be worth at LEAST 5 levels right there.

I'm only at level 47! (Though, that is two levels higher than Micah, lol.)

But having an editor ask for your whole novel--that is awesome Bryce! Much better than 5 levels--even 10!!!

Nessa's incredible responsible-adultness has given me the resolve to play less and write more. I'm also joining the TWG writing group with that intent, since there aren't people HERE I can do a writing group with, and the only person here who I discuss my writing with is currently not talking to me.

I do play more when I'm not feeling well. Thus, why I leveled twice yesterday. As I get more consistently healthy, I imagine I will only play a few nights a week in the evenings, since the weeks when I was doing well, that was exactly what I did. My desire to play WoW < My desire to get out and be active/social--when I'm healthy. However, I do consider WoW to be social. Only way I get to hang out with certain people who are far away! Which is why I doubt I'll give it up completely.

We'd love for you to catch up, Bryce! And Einah and Stacy too--I like to help when I can. But I surely do love my lvl 47 pimped out, combat-speced rogue. Lately she's wearing an awesome red-and-black-leather outfit, including an awesome helmet Ben made for me that shoots a huge fireball (instant cast, too!). When I put the fiery daggers on, Zeliot looks like a Flaming Rogue of Death!

I love WoW. I can limit, but I don't think I can let go. Not right now, at least.
