I am a loyal follower of WoW for just about four years now and I¡¯m thinking back of the memories and milestones in my so-called WoW career but one thing keeps making me wonder, where along the way did I loose my passion for WoW?
The thing about passion is that it can be lost in many ways, from the beginning I was playing WoW with friends, sure I was blessed to be able to clear old Naxx40 with a guild where I had four irl friends and managed to get Rank13 in the same premade as another friend of mine from my childhood, but when TBC was out i part ways and i think this is where i started loosing my passion bit by bit.
The peak of TBC was when i successfully had my very first gladiator title on my warrior back in season 2 as Paladin/Warrior. After this i had pretty much lost all faith for WoW after looking at a long BT/MH grind in the start of season 3 where's i've also leveled my beloved priest. I grew tired of the BT/MH farm after about a month (I still today feel bad for my guild who grinded MH for all those months) and quit WoW leaving my priest at 2200 rating. What i didn't know is that when i later on picked up WoW at the start of season four was that i apparently had gained Duelist title.. from being retired for the entire season discluding the first two weeks, wierd way to gain a duelist title and it kinda brought me some hope to continue WoW.
I know a lot of WoW geeks will hate me for even bothering but i can say that this game is among the first i can feel really to compete with WoW on a diffrent level both PvE and PvP wise.
We all know WoW pvp has always been in one way or another and Aion feels like being the only game which seems to be activly balanced and fun in terms of siege pvp compared to WoW. I no longer had any friends i knew from real life left playing and i no longer had a guild, sure i had my guild Bad Omen but i didn't really know 'em. I spent my days and still do wandering around doing random stuff waiting for the game i've been tracking since the end of 2007, Aion Online.The one game i've been waiting for while playing WoW is finally getting released in the 3rd quarter of 2009 in EU and NA.
Conesequently, what i've been waiting for the past two years is getting released and i'm kinda delighted that i can finally force myself into playing WoW everyday. Most people will say, go get a life. Well tried that, it was fun for two months before i missed having an MMO playing during the evening/nights of the week.
