Taking a break

Hi guys,

You may well have noticed that I haven't been around for the last week or so (and if you haven't, you're a self-absorbed prick and I hate you).

You may have been gone, but you've not been forgotten (I think...)

Everything's a little crazy at the moment - I'm entering the home stretch of my double degree with all the brutal assignments that accompany it, I've got a new job and we're entering the spring/summer wedding season, which means a lot more string quartet gigs. And canapés. And hot guys in dinner suits.

Yeah I'm on the verge of the Exam and assignment sh!t storm as well (though my workload is probably a joke compared to yours), all the best and good luck with your new job. Though that last bit really wasn't necessary.

In addition, I'm kinda burnt out on WoW at the moment; after getting my second character to 80, I'm increasingly exasperated with the constant struggle to get them both better and better gear, especially since everyone seems to be getting exponentially more powerful and new tiers of content are continually released. I need to get away from the rat race for a while and clear my head, particularly as I'll be looking for more permanent employment for next year and considering what the hell I want to do with my life.

yeah, balancing multiple characters is tedious at best, and a little crushing when someone succeeds you in a field you previously dominated, but thats the price paid for trying to balance multiple 80's I suppose.

People get burnout, it is just a game after all (and an incredibly repetitive one at that). Good luck with the soul searching though.

Anyway, the gist of all this is that I won't be logging on WoW for a while - it's hard to say how long. I'll still come on vent from time to time, of course, if only to get my regular fix of crazy from all of you.

Yeah, well you don't pay the $15 a month subscription to play wow, it's to sit in vent and talk smack.

It seems the guild is progressing leaps and bounds in raiding, and there's now plenty of DPSers more qualified than I am, so you'll be fine I'm sure. In case you haven't noticed, I've deposited all the enchanting materials in the guild bank so that any anyone who has leveled enchanting can still use them.

Thanks guys - see you round!

The guild will persevere. It's done it countless times before, and can again so long as kitty dosn't quit.
Good luck in the real world, we'll see you when we see you.

Post note: I was going to post only a collection of images and no text at all, but that would start a mass picture spam in here, which isn't the intent of the thread.
