You may have noticed I haven’t written about World of Warcraft in a while. I have to say, sadly, it’s because the honeymoon is over. When we began, it was so new. I was entranced. Every quest was interesting, every monster was new, and I just couldn’t wait to see what was around the corner. But recently, things just seem like more of the same. Look, a new wolf monster, now in black fur! A new spider, this time in green!
I still like the game. I still get very compulsive about completing quests methodically whenever I log in. But. I’m not logging in nearly as much as I used to. I’ve only been playing once a week! That’s down from playing everyday, hours a day, and triple time on weekends.
So many people are still hooked after all this time, and I wonder if I’m missing something. Is there some great new ability I’ll get if I just stick it out? Will I be able to craft some fantastic armor that will blow my mind? Or will I just keep treading the level mill, wondering what’s gonna change?
Maybe it’s because I haven’t done any PvP (that’s Player vs Player, where you go and hunt down the evil players who chose to play on the other faction and deserve their fate). Maybe that’s where the fun is?
Thoughts? Where did the joy go!
