I’ve claimed it before, but that was almost two years ago. I haven’t played World of Warcraft in maybe two weeks, and I don’t miss it. In fact, it’s been kind of glorious. I’ve been playing all sorts of different games on my Xbox 360.
I started up Phantasy Star Universe this weekend. It’s not a great game. But there’s something really lovely about playing a role playing game that has an end. I’m playing through, I’m making progress towards goals, and I know at some point I’ll wrap up the story and move on to something else. I kind of love it.
Let’s be honest, I’m sure I’m not really done with WoW. I still have a group that plays every Sunday night (we’ve missed the last week, hence the hiatus). My main is still only level 69 - I have one more level to go before I max out. But maybe I’m done with the constant alt-rolling any time I’m bored. There are so many other games out there! So much I’m missing that could be awesome and fun. I need to get back to playing all those other games.
Maybe I’ll pick up Final Fantasy XII again… That was a good one that I never managed to finish.

Whoa, two whole weeks? ;-P
Check back with me in 2 months!
Badwrong! As a pusher of said WoW, I cannot allow such frivolity!
Honestly, I think the instances and encounters do mostly just get better at 70, but then again, I know that the monkey is firmly attached to my back and regularly pokes me in the head to remind me of such.
If you like other stuff, then play it. The whole point of having fun is, well, HAVING FUN.
Yeah, what Craig said. Our Sunday nights are awesome.
OTOH, as soon as your mage hits 70, I want to start running the Outland instances with Shaleyla. She can bear tank and Healanord can heal. With a tank and a healer we can power level them to 70 in now time.
You guys sure seem to have plans for my characters! I don’t know, I’m enjoying my lack of WoW, for the moment. Though Anu’s right, 2 weeks does not a recovery make.
From my distant, outside perspective, I’m deeply amused that someone even considers two weeks enough time to “not miss it”.
For instance, I sometimes go without seeing members of my immediate family for rather longer periods of time without missing some of them. But maybe I’m just a horrible person!
I guess it says something that two weeks is long for WoW while months or possibly even years may apply to family.
