Burnout

[Niethan]

I think I'm suffering from- horror of horrors and impossibility- an excess of Warcraft. It may be that there is, after all, a limit to how much I can take.

I come to this conclusion by the feeling of nausea that appears whenever I start thinking about or attempt to play WoW. I have not yet ruled out the possibility of a curse on my gaming, as it is surprisingly likely and a perfectly viable alternative to the incredulity of there being "too much."

Anyone else experienced this phenomena (remember, your milage/symptoms may vary)? Or is it just my fickle brain playing tricks on me?

[Burgam]

Its nicknamed World of Warcrack for a reason. Your not alone...*shifty eyes*

[Saerya]

It's perfectly normal. Go outside. Look at nature. Talk to people in real life. Watch some TV. Redouble your efforts at work. You'll want to come back to WoW in no time!

[Zasu]

Yup, I've been there. Take a week or two or three away. Do something else, get outside.

[Fallacy]

I feel that, sometimes. Then, I go to work, and feel all better. *cringe*

[Vilmah]

I took a 3 month hiatus from WoW a year ago. Then I discovered RP servers, and became enveloped all over again...

[Chingaso]

Was getting very bored with the PvE server I started on, then came TN and now the hook is set. :twisted:

[Fhenrir]

Punctuation much?

I'd say enjoy your time off, and come back with a fresh outlook on the game!

[Tarkor]

Just remember that WoW is a game... real life always comes first. I've felt the same thing, and I've ended up going in cycles with WoW... right now I'm playing, racing towards 60, but a month ago I wasn't playing at all. Just take it in doses, and remember that even though there are other people playing, it's still only a game.

take a few weeks at the beach, that always does it for me.

On a related note, Im finding myself in a dilemna.

Since I rolled Finde, my gnome warlock on Venture Co., I've found myself playing him more and more. Now, yesterday I rolled an alt on that server, a NE druid, Raelene.

I feel bad because I love playing Nouri and Upae so much, but they are suffering from lack of attention this past week.

But the experience on Venture Co. has been addicting so far. Fresh, shiny new, a robust RP community.

Anyone else finding themselves in the dilemna of which server to play on since we made that alt move to Venture Co?

I'm in the same boat.

When I first started this game with my wife (a couple of months after it was released), we started characters on Cenarian Circle. I got a 48 pally and she got her priest up to 41.
I left CC after a few months, because I got sick of some of the people there, and I really wanted to try TN. I ended up loving TN. My wife was a bit irritated, because she felt that she had to abandon her priest, but she came to TN also and rolled a mage. She has now got her mage to level 51 so far.

Then Venture Co. opened.

I find myself playing my priest on Venture Co., and it is really irritating my wife. She feels that I am jumping away from TN completely, and doesn't want that (she doesn't have as much time to level as I do because she works really hard at a corporate job while I slack at home and do artwork).

I told her when we played together, that we'd play on TN. I told her I wasn't abandoning my characters on TN, or her either. From past experience, I can see how she would be upset. But when she is playing WoW, I will be playing on TN.

The thing about Venture Co. is that I started off at low levels in a large guild full of people I like (you guys), and I have a fresh start as well. The roleplay is great, and I get excited every time I do something with some of you (like doing Deadmines with Shadowspeak and other members of the horde on TN). I really enjoy this server, and seem to enjoy it more than TN.

That is the problem.

I think what I need to do is make my wife play some more, and get my VC character some rested EXP, while enjoying the fact that my wife and I can now do high level instances together on TN.

Gah, its all so confusing....Such drama over a silly video game. hehe.

Did Chingaso make a post...without the cool accent? : (



Redo it.

Yep.

I guess I'll start from the beginning. I started WoW in Open Beta. Played for 6+ months on Argent Dawn with a great RP community. I came back to it and played on Earthen ring for a long time. Then the RP-PVP servers came around, but I had another mmo to play at the time. Lightninghoof came out, so I came back to WoW, and played on that for a while. Took a break.

I was waiting for a new RP-PVP server to come back, but got impatient and re-subscribed anyway. I joined Twisting Nether. Found my TNG community. I joined Grim, joined Infection, created Seekers of Arthas. Less than a week after I formed the Seekers... *bam* Venture Co.!

So, I decide to do Venture Co, cuz a new RP-PvP server only comes so often. And the thrill of a fresh server, especially with a good community, is something I cannot pass up. At first, I thought I'd tire of it. But, I haven't. My officer in Seekers Trevlyn (Trevlin in Vco) and I have decided to put Seekers on stand-by until we get tired of Venture Co (if that ever happens).

At first in V-Co, I had Mortius the human mage, but then made Vhael the Nelf Warrior, cuz I love Warriors, but never had one on Alliance side. I found myself thinking "Wonder when I will get to play Vhael again" while playing ast Mortius, and then I just said 'screw it' and have played only Vhael since. I've never been happier, and Vhael is level 17 now. I'm looking forward to getting my first lvl 60 in the game. I thought it was going to be Demortius, but now it looks like Vhael has taken over my WoW-life.

I'm currently on non-active status myself. Happens every few months, I'll play a bit too much, then one day out of nowhere, "Meh, I don't feel like playing WoW today" *Gasps sound out from all corners of my house* And for a week or so, every time I look at the little WoW icon in my games folder, I'll get a sort of dissinterested feeling, and move on. It always wears off, don't worry that you might be completely bored with WoW, but a good break can really help. Play a few other games, watch some movies, you know, whatever it takes to just not think about the game for a while. After a week or so, maybe even less, you'll go back into it with a refreshed feeling of enjoyment ^^

[poiison]

Where and what is this outside you people all seem to be so fond of? Never heard of it. Is it some kind of high level instance?

[Niethan]

I'm feeling much better now. A bit of light (ie, 500+ pages) sci-fi reading does a world of good.

...eerrr... Ok?


Yay.

Gee, you sound so enthused.

[Niethan]

Well, Sci-Fi is love, after all.


That and laserbeams, pew pew pew!

[Niethan]

Just then, Troll Palladains on Gryphons swoop down from the sky and shoot at the unsuspecting Niethan with high powered rifles.

"Laser this."

Troll paladins with laser rifles? Unlikely, but I bet they could kick my ass.
