I'm Back, My Story

I'm still here, more or less. I'm online check my usual sites, but currently on hiatus from the wonder game, WoW. Why, some may ask? Well, there are many reasons for my departure. Might as well start from the beginning, which was about a week after my last post.

I was starting to work on getting emblems for my lvl 80 hunter when I noticed that a few of my friends had left the guild we were in. Now keep in mind I knew that one of my friends was on another server leveling a horde druid, but his brother and the others were firmly set in staying on the server we were on. While investing the departure of my comrades, I was soon to discover that they were not only switching servers, but switch sides. They each were transferring at least one of their characters to the horde side on this other server where my one friend had leveled his druid to 80. Here I was alone on the server. I had a choice follow my friends or stick it out and continue with the guild that I was in. Well, I stuck it out more or less. I did start a character on this other server and played a little bit, but since not everyone had jumped ship yet, I continued to play on with my hunter.

The tranfers of my friends weren't the only things that occured around this time. I started to have some computer problems that would cause my system to crash whenever I'd tried anything graphically intensive. I'd get on WoW and five minutes into the game, my system would shut down on me. This started my headache.

What continued the headache would be the burnout that I was starting to feel when I did get some time to play. I had been played for 6 months straight trying to level both my rogue and my hunter. I was needing some time off, try playing other games, something.

However, I wouldn't get the chance to try anything new. My grandfather, Opa, died the day after Thanksgiving. The family left to head three states over to attend the funeral and get some of the family affairs in order. A week away from everything helped clear my head enough to know that I needed the break and that I'd came back to WoW, just not yet.

So, here I am still trying to get my computer back to operating efficiently so I can start playing WoW again, though this time on the horde side. Which as a side notice, I've always preferred since I first started playing horde several years ago. The only question is when that will be. Sadly, it looks like the current computer that I use to play is out of commission until its problems get resolved (blue screen of death problem and the system shut down one as well). I might have to look into getting an new laptop and if I do, it may be awhile. Don't know much as of yet.

So, as I have stated, I'm here to an extent. I'll be popping back on time to time to update my status, give ideas of my plans, etc. Until next time...
