On World of Warcraft
As of last night, I ended my time spent in Azeroth, the digital world that is the Blizzard Entertainment empire. I spent a total of about a year playing that game when I put it all together. Many hours were a good time had by my self and friends. However, near reaching the end I began to question why I was even still playing. It turned into almost a second job that didn’t give me anything back. I have ended up neglecting friends, family, loved ones, and most of all, my self. For that I am sorry and I hope to be forgiven.
Looking back I don’t completely regret the decisions I made to play the game. It was just about the last month or so that made me really want to stop. When I was leveling my character I had tons of fun running around with Dave, Walter, Will, Elliot, Jon and Andrew. We had quite a crew and I’m sure they will still continue to play much longer than I will. Also the friends I made in the game, Felhand and Lucain, everyone from Order of SIN I will still keep in contact with all showed me a great time. I went from pregame to out of game to end game and I’m glad I finally had the chance to. But it’s now over. There is slim to no chance of going back. I have deleted my character off Blizzards server and sold all my items. I have even gone to the trouble of creating a random password to my account, and delteing any record of that password. I DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK. But thank you all who put up with me during my time of playing my silly game. It’s now over.

[...] About a year go, I quit World of Warcraft. I quit cold turkey. It was a tough time at that point in my life. I kept wanting to play it. It was like an itch. Sounds like a drug? Yeah, it was. No more. [...]
