Leaving WoW

    • Hi, idk how many of yall even remember, or care about me. But I wanted to announce that I will probably no longer be returning to WoW. This saddens me to say because of all the amazing memories I’ve made and all the awesome people I’ve met. Thank you all for giving me some of the most important and fulfilling video game related memories I could ever have.

    Just wanted to update people tho, that life has been really good for me recently. I’m 23 years old now, and I joined this website 9 years ago, and have been playing WoW since I was like 7 years old(?). I’ve kinda just fallen out of love with the game and with twinking in general, as it feels like a constant grind towards a nonexistent goal. I’m starting to prioritize different things in life and want to make sure I’m doing things smart and effectively. Currently in the process of moving out and living under a roof that isn’t one of my parents. While also trying to restore a greater connection with my faith(in Jesus). I have lots of great goals and ambitions and I’m super excited for this next chapter of my life. If anyone wants to reach out, my discord is “shinyheroo”

    With lots of love and sadness,

    Love you sending well wishes!
     
    One of the nice side effects of low level twinking is that you can come on for a little bit every now and then without having to care about being heavily invested. I've been logging less than an hour a month lately, but it's still nice to occasionally wander around and look at my stuff.

    Congrats on getting your life in order and moving on to new things. If you want to poke your head in occasionally you're welcome back, but enjoy having the whole rest of your life and priorities to look forward to.
     
    Take good care of yourself out there man! Cheers! :PeepoGlad:
     
    Sad to see u go Shiny. I wish u all the best with life.

    Ur still young and have your whole future ahead of u to look forward to.

    As someone else above mentioned, we will still be floating around here if u ever decide to pop in for a visit, or even a small staycation ;)

    Also, I just want to say, restoring ur connection to JC will be the greatest, most important and rewarding life choice you will ever make!

    All the best! :cool:

    I’m truly happy to read that you’re standing at the start of such a bright chapter. We should play when our hearts are full, not when they’re breaking. I left this site when I was at peace irl, and came back crawling in pain... six years later. Even then, this sometimes cruel, awful community somehow held me up.

    There’s a kind of beauty in knowing when to let go. Go, live freely, love deeply. Fly, and never come back!!!!
     
    See ya or maybe farewell! Who knows, I've found myself quitting and coming back. It's just that each time I come back, I have more and more restraint and only hop on here and there for a little grind and fun. If I miss out, I miss out, idc. I'm just glad I'm not completely addicted like I used to be lol. Maybe it's a good thing the game isn't as good anymore.

    I've had you on Btag for a while but I can't remember how we met. It was from 119s right back in BFA right?

    Sounds great! I wish you good fortune in the games in life to come!

    & tbh, I think that WoW left US;
    & that there is little else but P servers & ruminative nostalgia to reflect on moving forward.
     
    Even though you’re stepping away from WoW, your impact and memories remain with the community. It’s inspiring to see you moving forward in life with maturity and faith, embracing new goals and responsibilities. Remember that the game can be healthy, even within faith, as written in the catechism. WoW can be practical for remembering saints, living your time, and engaging with the Word; it can also be well exercised through the game. Avoiding evils and obtaining health is possible. Excesses that can be harmful to your life, usually involving money. Even ordinary morally correct actions can help with daily health, whether inside or outside the game. If you are saving money, keep in mind that there may be bank returns better than the common savings account — I mean credit lines, which work very well as an early retirement option. May this next chapter bring you peace, joy, and great achievements. Thank you for everything you’ve shared with us, and may God bless your journey ahead.

    There is an OldSchool RuneScape saying that goes like this:

    "You never quit, you only took a break."

    You might be facing a change of priorities at the moment, but life is dynamic. Games will always be here.

    I agree, WOW really isn't the same game as it used to be. Big games like this shouldnt be around this long. Brings out so much negativity/toxicity.
