I finally decided this week that the time has come to stop playing games that don’t end. I spend too much time in front of a computer screen professionally, and I’d at least like my personal computer time to come with some sense of accomplishment. I’m too casual of a gamer for these kind of games.
It is the end of an era. Radoria, my tauren warrior, has been put out to pasture.
Sorry if I’m sounding a little sentimental for what’s really just a couple rows in one of Blizzard’s databases, but this is 26 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes and 22 seconds of my life we’re talking about here!
(Cue “To Everything There is a Season” – The Byrds)
I decided that it would be appropriate that the game should end where (for me, at least) it began almost two years ago, in the tauren starting zone. This is what two years of casual gaming looks like:
You’ve got to love the awesome glowing axe action – took me a bit of time to get that one.
15 minutes later, all of the gear was gone and it was time to call it quits. I donated all my gear, all my money, and all my other resources to my guild.
I don’t regret quitting. Still, I’m gonna miss the (not so) little guy.

I feel your pain man. I quite about six weeks before you. I felt the same way and honestly, I was about to be in a financial bind so it was for the best. Naturally I intend to play Conan when that comes out in October. Hopefully you’ll keep up with ye olde Doomcleaver and give it a shot with a few of us. Also, check out my new blog and tell me what you think. I could probably use your advice about hosting and so forth since you’re already the WordPress expert!
I feel so sad. It’s like a friend moving away for good. Never to see again. Good luck on your next game endeavor.

My gracious, I forgot you were one of the WoW kids. A couple of my “friends” played that in Washington D.C. One friend even tried to explain it to me. It was a lost cause, but I bet if I played it myself I would become addicted as well. Perhaps.
