But I see how you don't care anymore. If you're done with WoW, there's no decent alternative to be found.<br />I don't remember which blog I read it on recently, but the author said the next mmorpg most of us will play, will be Blizzard's next one. I agree, unless Diablo 3 comes out first and it destroys my entire life for being equally or more addictive than D2 was ;)Caramaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-84344369801646515942011-03-14T14:38:12.070-05:002011-03-14T14:38:12.070-05:00@Anonymous: I guess you're right in a way.

This is one of the worst things about WoW as well as about blogging about it. The split-ups. I never get used to it. Above all I appreciate the mail contact we've had over the years. You were always there as a friend who cared a little bit more than the ordinary bloggers.<br />hugsLarísahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769822260333419777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-7158342358726798272011-03-14T11:31:04.511-05:002011-03-14T11:31:04.511-05:00A, I used "upgrade" in a more abstract s...A, I used "upgrade" in a more abstract sense of "upgrade the functional entity that is your PC, e.g. by replacing it with a new one" ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-29469589190964574472011-03-14T10:06:54.634-05:002011-03-14T10:06:54.634-05:00@Rem: This thing isn't worth upgrading; the mo...@Rem: This thing isn't worth upgrading; the motherboard can only handle so much more bettering before it starts complaining about "processors these days, always doing all their beep beep boop with multiple things, why back in my day we did one thing at a time and we did it slowly!"<br /><br />But I am seriously considering a new computer. My plan is to get a decent desktop for gaming and a low-end laptop for work. I learned years back that it's a lot easier to work on a work computer than on a game computer.<br /><br />@Nils: I'm not sure if I can still play MMOs. WoW might have ruined me: made me too quick to curse myself with information and expectations. When I get a new computer I'll definitely be trying out Rift again and then we'll see. From what I could play it was definitely pretty solid, but it's hard to properly evaluate a game when nothing looks as it should.<br /><br />@nikto77: I had a terrible childhood and missed out on a lot of the superhero stuff, so I can't quite get into such games.<br /><br />@Moar Alts: Try Tobold. If the post can't make you mad, I'm sure a comment will. Strange that a smart blogger att5racts so much stupid. But don't worry, I'll still be here, sneaking my socialist views into everything and scribbling on my chalkboards.<br /><br />@Syl: I've been playing other games, just not MMOs. Tomorrow I want to talk about Stalker again, and clarify in the process why no one should ever look here for useful information.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-18043948083566384162011-03-14T08:47:17.915-05:002011-03-14T08:47:17.915-05:00Seems many of us feel the same right now. and I he...Seems many of us feel the same right now. and I hear you on the blog worry, but I figured I'll always have something to say on games - I played wow a long time and I will always play something and compare it. I doubt you need to actively play wow to run an online game blog. even if you play nothing much right now, you might again tomorrow. until then you keep us entertained with sarcastic posts on the world please, be it general philosophy, politics, history or how you hated literature lessons! :D<br /><br />p.s. and what Nils said - word.Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473554645340972749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-29060196230680110052011-03-14T08:46:09.953-05:002011-03-14T08:46:09.953-05:00Bah - who's rants am I going to be alternately...Bah - who's rants am I going to be alternately amused and infuriated by now? :) Like Rem, I hope that you find a game that's fun again (and that sometimes makes you cross!)

One day you wake up and you realise that you haven't logged in for a long time. Your sub is gone and you don't even miss it.<br /><br />But there are other games out there. Rift would be an obvious candidate, Bioware's MMORPG, of course, and next year GW2. <br /><br />If you don't care about WoW anymore that means that you finally beat it - like any other game. But you don't care about MMORPGs anymore, then WoW defeated you.

I'd miss your insights otherwise, because your insights take place on a level that is far harder to find than "optimal rotation" and "stat priorities", which makes them valuable (and relevant!) in their very own way.<br /><br />Regarding WoW, indeed, your archives of the last months pretty much lead up to this and say pretty much everything that needs to be said. You hit the nail on the head, I think: there is no central flaw or broken feature, it's just that it has become very easy to stop caring about WoW, or, inversely, that there's less and less to truly care about.<br /><br />Personally, every time I quit a game in the past, it was not in an argumentative explosion, but simply a matter of stopping caring and stopping playing. So, yeah, I can very well understand where you're coming from. Too well to not be concerned myself...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
