Ok, to be a member of the guild you will be required to be eating a turkey club, cole slaw (but don't eat it) and of course - a cherry coke.  A torso light-bright with ATM accesory is optional. :D

I've canceled my account permanently this time.  I MIGHT come back for WOTLK, but its highly unlikely.  I've gotten a lot of harassment in the game for being retribution speced paladin.  I'm sick and tired of the elitists so I left the game. 

Good luck to you guys though.

You let a lot of guys get under your nerves that sit behind a computer... Play the game you'd like to play it. Your money and your time to spend as you please.

No, the main reason I quit is that I couldn't find a guild anymore, couldn't raid/instance, and PVP bored me.  I had no friends, no fun, nothing.  Why should I play if all I do is solo crap all the time?  That's not the point of a MMORPG.

Well, in the end a game should be fun. If it's not, you're wasting your time and money. Since I've been busy the past few weeks I haven't logged in more then twice. It was a nice break that I think I needed. Now when I get the chance this weekend I'm excited to play.

I once took a break of about three months and went back to play City of Heroes. That break was also needed. That was a big break. When I came back I re-rolled and left my old toons to retire. For me it was like a new game.

Sometimes you need to step back for awhile.

I have played MMO's a very long time.  And I actually play them solo quite a bit.  I tried some guild stuff in Everquest and it ALWAYS just turns a fun little game into a job and big time sink.  In Warcraft, I find you can have a lot of fun on your own or with just a small group of friends who play.  I mean even last night, I was doing a couple quests with my Warlock and I met someone in the same area and we teamed up for awhile.  Simple, easy, no strings attached.  Many people allow these games to control them and that is just asking for trouble.  Better to just stop and do something else if you find that happening - at least in my opinion.

I hate to plug my guild (especially since a lot of you listen to the Instance and hear about it a lot) but I have to say i love it. I solo a lot as well since I don't usually have a long stretch of time to run instances. However there is always a good group of people having at it in guild chat, always someone around to help if it's needed and if I do find myself with enough time to run a dungeon, getting a group together usually takes about five minutes.

Hopefully in the next little while I'll be able to log in with my alliance toons on Earthen Ring and find some of you guys.

But again, if the game is no longer fun then it is no longer worth your time and money.

In the end, I play MMOs to have fun with other people.  If I want to play pure solo all the time, I'll play Warcraft 3 or Starcraft or some other game.  Or grab my Nintendo GC.  The multi-player experience is why I play.  Otherwise, its just a waste of time for me.  And a lot of $$ wasted.

In most ways, I blame Blizzard for how this game is now created.  Its made so that most people can just solo all the time or forces you to raid all the time.  There is no middle ground anymore.  I remember how it used to be in Pre-BC.  I never raided back then, but I had lots of fun in my guild doing things that weren't focused on getting "PHAT LOOT" or epics.  Nowadays, people just want gear, gear, and more gear.  If they aren't doing anything that isn't getting gear, they won't do it.  That underlines my entire frustration.  I don't want a job, I just want to do fun things.  Now, its almost a sin to not have a full set of T6 epics.  That makes the game no longer fun. 

Case in point: PVP.  Used to be I could join any BG in full greens maybe some blues and still be able to kick 20 people's butts.  Now, you have to be fully geared out (and that's a lot of grinding) in order to kill 5 ppl in a game.  That is wrong.  It is not how PVP is supposed to be.

Well the simple answer is to stop playing WoW for awhile. Maybe take a few months off of MMO's completely. Then come back (to an MMO, doesn't need to be WoW) if you want to and see how you feel.

I've been playing a some Halo 3 on XBox live and it was a nice change.

Me want a Wii so badly.  Can't get it though as I still have to figure out what I'm going to do for fall.....

Honestly, the Wii is fun but the novelty wears off. If you can swing it I'd go 360.

KingIsaacLinksr

idk if I really want to buy a 360 that has more hardware problems than my current computer I'm typing with.....and really, it seems way more common than it should be.  Several friends and people I know that have em always have the red eye of death.  That....doesn't appeal to me.
