Why would I want to?

So I sit here, with a glass of tea, contemplating something. I am about to make my first World of Warcraft post, after three months of trying not to. I don't even play it anymore. What am I doing making a post about it?

Well, I've been feeling the urge to play it again and it hurts but most importantly it's an update I can justify writing about in this blog. First of all, I feel I should address something regarding a statement of facts. I've said before that I've played WoW for six years. For those of you that are familiar with the series, you would have said I am a bullshit liar, because WoW recently celebrated its fifth aniversary. While that's not entirely untrue (that bit about me being a bullshit liar), I remember getting WoW at the age of ten. I guess it was actually eleven.

My bad.

I stopped playing World of Warcraft on February 4, 2009 with a friend, when we both decided the game kinda sucked and was really boring. For me, the Wrath of the Lich King expansion kinda killed the game and I'm definately worried about this new Cataclysm shit I'm hearing about. They're wrecking Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, the Alliance got the Worgen and Horde got some fucking goblins (what sort of shit is that?), they're fucking with the class/race combinations (Blood elf warriors? Dwarf mages? Orc mages? NIGHT ELF MAGES? And what the fuck, Blizzard - Undead Hunters?).

Do you really want this guy to have fireballs? Really?

Oh, they're revamping Azeroth so you can fly? It's about fucking time the mount I dropped FIVE FUCKING THOUSAND GOLD ON can be flown in the ENTIRE GAME.

And, laughably, but it's kind of sad, too, they're revamping the stat system...again. I hope it's not as bad as when they tried to get people to stack spirit. Now THAT was terrible...

Do these two look very spiritual?

I just want to point out that PvP is never going to be good in WoW. If you think it is, then you play whatever the overpowered class of the day is. I'm not sure what it is nowadays. I've always felt sympathy for people that grind PvP gear because it is possibly the worst thing ever. At least on the server I was on, the Horde (almost) always lost. While it's not a big deal either way, constantly losing is not fun. And if you think it is, you, good sir, are a fucking liar.

Oh shit, they've got guild leveling. Fuck, that's hilarious. They've got that shit in Aion too, I might have mentioned. I didn't figure out what it did, but the elitist guilds that are out there? Now going to be even more elitist. Oh man, fucking wonderful.

As I'm typing this I'm feeling a lot better about my resolution to stay away from the crack cocaine known as WoW. Good lord. I'm surprised I can still recognize it as the same game.

NIGHT ELF MAGES.

All of this info I just googled on wowwiki. You can click that link and check out the rest of it for yourself if one of my three readers actually cares. Or hasn't looked it up yet, in the opposite case. One day I think I'll talk about just how horrible PvP was. But eh, who knows, maybe I was just bad at it.

...

Yeah, no, the PvP in WoW sucks ass and they fucked up Wintergrasp too, the first thing they had done right with PvP. Stupid dumbasses up at Blizzard...

Unfortuantely, I cannot guarantee that this is the last you'll hear of me on the forbidden WoW subject. It's been staved off for now, but I think that old addiction will come back every now and then. Why?

Well, it's not like almost everyone I know still fucking plays WoW. Because you know, that would make it really hard to stop myself from playing again.

God dammit.

Check out the list page. It's all updated and pretty.

Want to tell this author what you think, but you don't want anyone else to see it? Think she's full of it and need to set her straight? Want to worship the ground she walks on? Well, good luck with that last one, but you can email Chrys at catharticgamer@yahoo.com and at least tell her what you think.
