cooperation
OG
I don't believe I've had the privilege of playing with most of you guys, so it probably won't mean much, but I'm functionally retiring Cooperation, my only active twink. I'm actually having fun leveling by questing, BGing, and instancing, and I'm not having fun in Warsong Gulch anymore. I play this game to have fun, not just own in BGs, and while I still do well, there's no point if I'm not enjoying myself. I don't know if that's because of the quality of the games here on Stormstrike are bad, or if it's just me, but there's nothing pulling me back to it, so I'm stopping. I'm not going to transfer, to Ruin or anywhere else. It's just a game, honestly - spending more money than I already do to confer dubious benefits onto a character I'm not even sure I'd enjoy playing with lots of competition. I'm playing with a fun and active guild, and I'm looking forward to quests, dungeons, and eventually heroics and raids. I may post intermittently, but I don't think I'm ever going to twink again.
For those of you that are curious, this actually isn't 3.2 or Cataclysm related. I had actually felt this way for a while beforehand, but hadn't really thought of stopping until recently.
I don't know what I'm going to do with Cooperation. I've thought of leveling her out, but it seems kind of anti-climactic and a let-down, honestly. I think I will, but probably without any fanfare - I'll just go PvE, do quests and maybe BG every once in a while as I work my way up to 80. First, though, I want to get my main up to 80 and in a comfortable place.
I've seen a couple of people retire recently, and many more simply quit playing since the patch, so it's probably not much of a surprise that "another has left the fold", so to speak. A lot of people complain about end-game, so I'm afraid the same burn-out will occur if I progress to the end, but I'm having fun for the moment, and once Cataclysm comes I may have another 80 to play with and progress further with the new content. If Cataclysm is twink-friendly, I may even try it out again. But until then, ave atque vale.
