I froze my account in February, and I have seven other games on my computer right now and I'm still getting the urge to play WoW again lately. Have been strongly considering resubbing but I can't really afford to right now...
Then this morning I find a "Return for 7 days" email in my inbox from Blizzard. It's like they knew! o.O
It's good until the 30th, I suspect I'll take advantage of it at some point in the next 10 days to see if it's worth returning before WoD.
I never understood why you kind of people always come out to say shit like this. You're statement could apply to anything nostalgic, why do all those old guys gather and talk about war but never fight it?
OT: I had the craving, after a 14 month break. I recently re-upped my sub, and am having a blast leveling a new warlock. Haven't even touched my old 90s.
Been unsubbed for 6 or 7 months now, no incentive to come back since nothings changed and its just a videogame dude. There are others to spend your time playing y'know. I played wow since the beginning and i've had a lto of good times, but that doesnt mean i get the shakes like a drug addict when i think of the good times i used to have.
Go play dark souls or minecraft or something, a game is just a game and theres thousands to choose from. If the only thing thats changed in half a year is you and not the game? then why is the game suddenly worth your money if it wasnt a week ago?
Go to the steam sale, spend a few quid/bucks and find something you enjoy instead of wasting a months sub to find that the reason you stopped playing hasnt changed and you just blew money you could blow on another game you would get enjoyment out of.
Er... no. I get where you're coming from, but that's completely opposite to my point. You can have fun with multiple different games. I phrased my post in an accommodating way so that I didn't come off as a "WoW hater" because *shock* I think and mentioned that there are MMOs that are better then WoW while posting on MMO-C.
The OP seemed to be saying "I like WoW and feel like playing, but there's nothing to do until WoD hits because of the content draught". So I suggested playing other games in the genre, since they're just as good and he'll enjoy his time doing so. Then when WoD hits, he can play that too.
In a harsher tone, you could read my post as "get over it and try other games, they're better then WoW anyways, so stop drowning in your nostalgia".
I have the withdrawls as well. Withdrawls from new content.
Unsubbed at the begining of the new year because my computer broke, no way to contact my raid team for 2 weeks. SoO was getting really boring, and we were cruising through bosses.
I miss Wrath and Cata. Leveling and the ongoing lore from them was great. Zones like Howling Fjord and Grizly Hills, maybe Icecrown. And ALL the cata zones. Really enjoyed those. Didn't pick up MoP until late enough that I wanted to blast through content, I'd probably enjoy the MoP story as well. I'll probably enjoy the free week, then resub for the challenge mode gear before it goes away.
It always draws me back in. Be it a 1 month break or a 1 year break.
wow, i luf u
actually no. Today is when I think I finally admitted I will never again play wow. I've had breaks, I've always planned to go back, but today, with midsummer and my annual rituals to the RNG gods ready to try to get the damm frostscythe on my shadowpriest....I just could not bring myself to resub. Sat there looking at the payment screen and had to alt-F4....oh well, many memories, just nothing really excites or interests me about WoD.
