… back to WoW. We’re back from vacation however (photos?). We’re still wedding planning and … well watching TV Series (notably: Dexter Season 1, Heroes Season 1). I have not yet seen Twilight – it just started showing two weeks ago over here and I have not managed to get the girls together yet. Once all these important things are done I’ll hope to get back into the game.
I am not quite motivated to get back to playing … when taking breaks … the game loses significance extremely fast for me. I know I want to get back to it eventually. It’s just right now I am thinking: what will I do when I log on besides chatting and saying hello to everyone?
Of course there are still tons of quests open, we have 3 regions completely untouched and many instances are unseen. There are alts to level and there’s gold to be made and Horde to fight. So much to do, so much to achieve. The guild is doing Nax, even 25 with our friendly allies from BD. Where do I, where do we start again?We just turned 80 last time we logged in …
I don’t want to get back for any kind of treadmill (that part will sneak itself in soon enough). So right now it’s part missing motivation, part aimlessness and part being scared the game will suck me back in with a vengeance before I get the important things done the right way (not the “faster faster want to play WoW” way). Oh well give me a few days or weeks … I’ll be back.
As you may have noticed I am not blogging and I am also not playing. This is not a planned absence – it just happened. For me it is a sign that WoW has not taken over my life *g* it happens 2 or 3 times a year that I don’t play at all for a month or two because RL becomes too busy.
I have not played – not even done any auction, research s or transmutes as I usually do – since last year. So there was not much to blog about. The guild is busying itself in Naxramas without my help. It looks like they are doing quite fine. Sometimes they fill up with randoms or friends.
What I am currently doing is mostly wedding planning and a little vacation planning. We’re on a skiing vacation in Switzerland next week. The wedding takes up most of my time somehow. It takes more people than even an old-school raid, it takes much more planning, consumables and equipment than Naxramas 40-man back in the day (not that I ever set foot into Nax). But … I do have my “Robe” – I mean dress. But I am still missing a ring, a necklace, something to equip on the feet … and the head. I know which piece I want for my back but I have yet to farm the Badges for that.
You see it is like preparing for a raid 
And now back to work for 8 more hours.
Welcome 2009! I wish everyone a Happy New Year!
Our last deed of the old year was to ding 80 before heading of to a wonderful party with friends.
Now we’re off to a New Year’s BBQ with the neighbors (it’s freezing cold out!).
