Re-igniting the Addiction: Returning to World of Warcraft
Butmac | 10:40 AM on 05.23.2008 23 comments




It's not a secret. World of Warcraft causes people to leave their jobs, loved ones, and basically quit "real life." I've described in some of the @Amazon posts what my WoW addiction was like. However, after much thought and debate, I've decided to break my year and a half long sobriety, and return to Azeroth.

But like any awesome sequel with a worthy tagline, "This time, he's bringing a friend." I've decided to not go my journey alone. I'll be taking my faithful companion -D- with me. Together we are going to chronicle what the return to Azeroth is like and if that mary jane is just as sweet as I remember it to be.

So I'm making this post to tell you all this and to ask if anyone wants to come along on a journey of greed, debauchery, fear, and friendliness. I actually don't know if anyone plays WoW that is active on Dtoid, but I mean, the odds are like 100% that someone does.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I was once addicted to World of Warcraft, and sold my child into white slavery so I could support my habit. That was a long time ago, and I've moved onto another game known as Age of Conan. I'm already going into back alleys and forcing myself onto rich, Asian business men to support my new habit.

I used to play WoW but after 60 (which was the end at the time) It just got boring. I hate raids and being a healer in a 25-40 man raid is very impersonal and boring. You spend the whole game with yourself and 5 other people at most and then all of a sudden they want you to start grouping with a horde of people in a raid? Not for me.

Also, I dont like how all the "fun stuff" is at the end :(

Good luck on your second try.

If I end up not caring about meeting girls after this "experiment," I'm going to burn down your apartment, Butmac.

I've played on and off since launch. I've been interested in playing again if we could get a big group of Dtoiders together though...

I quit a few weeks ago, guild broke up and I couldn't be bothered with trying to find another one half as good as that. The problem lies in that I'm not willing to dedicated more than 2/3 nights a week (which is a lot in itself) to raiding, and solo content at 70 is non-existent.

Highly doubt I'll return until WOTLK comes out, and even then Im not so sure.

I bought the game on day one, then quit, then start playing again, to quit, start playing several months later and then quit for good.
Never made it to lvl50... i know I fail, but I had fun with the game, thats it, no addiction.

I got friends that were completely into it, now they are better, but for them is like a drug... im inmune.

that game is evil, but it feels like every time i come back, the addiction only lasts about a month, then im done again.

I just quit WoW a few days ago, after all these years (since beta 0.7)

And I did it to play Age of Conan. I am so bored of World of Warcraft, and Age of Conan is the holdover for me until Warhammer Online comes out... then I'll probably be addicted to that for 3 years

play The Matrix Online instead?

I never could get into WoW, even with some of my close friends playing with it with me.

Yes, the WoW pangs strike me now and then. I think once my new rig is done, I'll just buy the Xpac and get to 80 and then play WAR

This never ends well.

I played for a month, while my Xbox was in the shop, and I quit soon after that. I like pussy so I can't play this game for longer than a month.
