Should I start Playing World of Warcraft again?

[Valdemar]

Hello,



I played World of Warcraft from May 10th, 2007 until around January 15th of 2013, with seldom hiatus periods between (maybe a month or two now and then). I originally started on a small-medium sized server where I made several good friends and had a good guild community that I was part of for about two years. I raided with them, I PvP'd with them and took part in open-world shenanigans with them. However, after the Icecrown patch I ended up leaving the guild due to leadership inadequacies and other dramas. I kept in touch with my close friends but now, unfortunately, they have all quit or transferred.

I server hopped (KT -> Stormrage -> Tich) for about a year trying to find new friends to play with (I have irl friends that play WoW from time to time but they're mega-casual and really bad at the game, in general, so other than WPvP ganking there isn't much I like to do with them in-game). Don't get me wrong, I'm not some douchey elitist, I am not the best player, but I just want to progress while having fun with friends, be they irl or internet friends.

I haven't raided since ICC, as I am no longer interested in progression PvE content. I don't care for farming gear that I am not putting to use, so I don't bother raiding at all with PuGs. I pretty much solo'd the game for a while and put my own RBG's together to limited success (I always seem to plateau around 1900-2k rating, it sucks).

This game is/was an important part of my life since I have been playing it since I was a youngin'. I just don't have anyone to play with anymore because it's so hard to make friends (at least in the PvP 'community') if you don't have a shiny 2.2k or higher achievement.

I don't really know why I'm writing this, I guess I just felt like talking about it.


TL;DR I want to play this game, but when I do I feel lonely and it sucks.

Feel free to post similar feels, advice, whatever.

I am in the same boat. When I saw this title I asked myself why I didn't post the same thing. Anyway, I am on the verge of it as well. Like you, I too had a lot of IRL friends from BC-Cata, and most of them have packed up and quit. I havent played in 4-5 months now, however I am on spring break so I think it's a good time to give it another shot and see if I can find a guild that clicks. I would rather pay 15$ to find out if I want to keep playing WoW, rather than wonder about it any longer. Sorry for the rant, I am in the same boat.

I've been in that boat before, you ought to just drop the $15 for a month. Even if you hate it and only play it for a day, that's honestly only the price of going to a movie these days so it's not an unreasonable cost for a day's entertainment, and you won't feel like you're stuck in limbo of quitting or coming back.
