I am paid up for only 2 more days

I decided since I had only logged in once in the last month it wasn't worth it to keep paying for WOW. I don't know if this is a permanent goodbye or just a temporary leave of absence. I find I have been spending more time reading and catching up on things from Netflix and playing games on the Xbox. I logged in today thinking I would do some of the stuff I always said I wanted to do before I stopped playing. I lasted about 45 min before I got bored. After having been a Raider and pushing to topple bosses and then burning out I just can't get into the casual play style of WOW. I also have no ambition to push myself to get geared up to do any Raiding, as I get so frustrated with randoms and very few of my friends play any more and are all spread out over different servers. I will probably log in a couple times in the next couple days to see if I can catch anybody online to update contact info but after that I don't know what my gaming plans will be. ToR has had me curious for a long time so I might give it a try when it comes out. I may try some of the free-to-play MMO's out there now see if something grabs me. Any good ideas?

Small Adjustments, with more on the horizon

I have made some slight adjustments to my layout. I am trying to get used to my new work schedule and seeing where gaming fits in with everything else I would like to do. I am a gamer so I know that will never change but no game lasts forever.....

Being on call is a drag

I am slow to update. The last few weeks have been a blur. I have a real job again. Woot!! It has been a long time coming. This is my third week and because of some timely vacations I am on call this week. I have been rudely awoken in the middle of the night the last two nights and was on call for a total of 35 seconds before my first call tonight. I am burnt to no end but it is totally worth it. I am enjoying the new job completely and its fantastic. I will be glad to get back to a normal sleep schedule next week :)

I haven't looked at Wowheroes in months

One of my buddies was talking about his toon and how some of his upgrades were hard to come by and he had been looking at Wowheroes to see where he needed to go and I realised I had not been there in months. I used to go there all the time, updating my large army of alts, and all the of level toons in the guild, planning out where to grind for certain pieces of gear, it all seems like another life. I am glad that it is there and I am glad my friend is using it to help him out and I'm sure one day when I look at my gear and go why do I have that crappy bracer where can I get a better one I will one day visit there as well, but until then I am really just enjoying the uber-casual climb up the ranks. I am having fun and the Effers are a blast to hang out with. That is all, K Out!

Youbethca is 82!

Its been a long time since I did a ding post. I am slowly working my Shammy up to 85 over with the Effers. They had a Jeopardy Fishing Party yesterday which was pretty funny. I forgot how much fun just hanging out in vent with the guild can be. The bunnies only get into vent during raids, and when I was in the Corsairs we were in vent all the time whenever we were online, sometimes even when were not in Wow. It was good to here Grimm again he had been gone from the Bunnies for a while I'm glad he invited me over to their guild, everyone has been great. I hope I can contribute more than a few fish to the cause someday.

Wow 6 posts in a month I must be enjoying the scenery again

I haven't posted this much in a month since last July. I would like to say its because I have something to say finally, but mostly I think its just I am having fun again and the game kind of feels new again and I am taking my time to explore it rather than just speed through everything and miss out on the little things. I find myself reading quests and taking my time to get things done. I am jumping between characters frequently as well. I also am having a blast hanging with the Effers they know how to keep it fun and it sounds like they are making a little progress too. I am not focused on that right now so its not something I am paying a lot of attention to. But much fun is being had by most as far as I can tell :)

Its weird not knowing what to do

Having been MT for quite some time I used to do a lot of research and practice runs and all kinds of things so that I would try to know what was going to happen before it actually happened. Well, as I have not entered a dungeon in a couple months and have run the Cata ones 1-3 times at most I have no bloomin idea whats going on or whats happening during any of the fights now. In a way its kind of refreshing and as I was in as damage I just did what I was told. Its also a little annoying though, because I expect better from myself. I like to be able to perform my role to the best of my ability no matter my gear level. I am sure they will all become easy and repetitive soon enough but for now its a fascinating look at how I am playing the game from this new perspective.
