Saying goodbye, for now or for good: why I’ve stopped playing WoW
With a title like that, it’s obvious that this isn’t like my usual posts, at least in tone anyway. It will probably still be long and rambling, but I’ll do my best to keep things brief.
I actually haven’t really been playing WoW since shortly after my last post; early September was about the last time I logged in regularly. I kept my subscription active for a couple months afterward, only deactivating it in December after Winter Veil came and went. So it’s been about six or seven months since I stopped playing. For reference, I have been more or less a constant subscriber and player since April 2010, so that’s an over eight-year streak that’s finally been broken.
So why’d I finally quit? What would it take to bring me back? And why am I bothering to write this now?
