Tempted by Evil



I was once a rabid WoW addict. For almost two years I played WoW and only WoW for as many hours I could every single day. I played a priest, took her to level 60, raided with Avatars of Destruction in Molten Core over and over, perfected ZG and AQ20, and hell we even killed Nefarian in under 5 attempts. We kicked ass. My priest was tricked out PvP gear, 6/8 tier 1, and even had 4/8 tier 2.

Purples galore and in longest running and most revered Alliance guild on the Uldum Realm. It was the Azeroth version of heaven.

And then, I woke up.

I spent nearly $400 playing WoW for those 22 months. Not to mention the 60+ days worth of game time accrued amongst all my characters. The game literally became a new life for me. It was time to stop. And stopped I did...

I quit the guild, deleted all my lesser leveled characters and sharded all my shiny purples. Once the sharding was complete, the remaining characters were erased from WoW existence.

Knowing all the crap I put myself, friends and family through just to play this game, why, oh why, am I tempted to start anew in The Burning Crusade?

Damn you Blizzard, you evil, evil empire. Just give me Diablo 3 and/or StarCraft 2 already.
