My New Year’s Resolution — Less WoW
So 2005 will be known at my house as the year the MMO took over our lives.
Before some students I know engaged in an evil conspiracy to get me to install World of Warcraft, for example, typically I’d have lunch with my wife and we’d talk about our kids or what happened at work, etc.
Today, though a typical lunch goes like this:
Me: Damn. Last night I was in the Blasted Lands with some guildies when one of them aggroed a bunch of mobs and by the time we cleared ‘em, some Undead Rogue bastard came and ganked us.
Lisa: Fucking horde. That reminds me of this time in Stranglethorn Vale when a mob debuffed my . . .
…and so on. Seriously, I remember we were getting into it at a Wendy’s and this small group of people was looking at us a table away going WTF?
Fortunately, I’ve finally gotten my character almost to level 60, and once I get to that point I can stop playing this game so damn much.
I can stop at anytime. Really. I just need to log in one more time to, uh, check my auctions. Yeah, that’s it.
