Quit wow =D

Post Reply New Topic

Just quit world of warcraft today. Sold my account (got $400, lol), uninstalled. It was my main obsession, and I was playing it way too much. Glad I quit though, now I can focus more on other things I used to do a lot, which I was neglecting due to wow.

If you want/need any help quitting wow, send me a private message or just post here if you want, I'd be glad to help you :b.

I shall never quit! I love my vices.

I quit months ago. I really didn't like BC, AND I could never find a group for instances that didn't SUCK....which resulted in me not being able to get keyed for Kara. I just said "Screw this!"....now I play Civ IV instead....

i had a hunter with 3/8 t6 and a bear mount, and a druid with 5/8 t6 and a bunch of offspec t6.

I quit a few days ago too! Granted, I only played it for ten days and that was my trial period. But I did get up to level 17 as a human sorceror, so I think I got a good taste of what the game was like.

If you're looking for a similar game that doesn't have the potential to be a time-sink like WoW, Guild Wars is the game to go to. The levelling caps at 20 and it's fairly easy to get the best equipment, the game relies more on skill once you reach the level/equipment max. It also doesn't cost anything to play once you've bought the game. It plays more like a traditional game with a story/campaign, and though there's a large world to explore the campaign part of the game is mission-based, and you can eventually win. Plus you never have to wait for players to do a quest/mission, you can always fill in your party with some AI-controlled party members.

I could never play wow for spans longer than a couple months. On my first run, I got my mage character to level 48. On the second I got him to 64. Haven't played wow since, although my account still exists and I could reactivate if I wanted to (although I most likely wont)...

I'd been addicted to PC games for about 15 years. That has spanned only 4 games Starting from the first civilization, on Amiga, through Caesar and a couple others. The second to last one I don't even wanna mention. The last one wasn't so addictive and was more relaxing. I think I needed that to wean off gaming. Now I'm free and feel less anxious. I recommend getting a slow computer and giving up gaming altogether. Focus on your education so you can get a good job above all the NT politics.

I just quit last night myself ^_^ what did you leave behind Atomsk oh great pirate king.

I probably play more than is healthy. I don't want to give up though. Would probably be good for me to cut down on my play time and get other things done - it sucks up time more than anything else on earth.

I hate WoW a lot but can't stop playing this sh(*. It should be obvious by now the complete repetitiveness of it. Quest after quest and it's the same crap everytime. I like a story that you can be a part of. With wow it seems to little roleplaying when it comes to the game iteself. Nothing really truely interesting happens until you hit 70 or 80 or 90 or haha 10000 which is the way it's going with expansions. Like I want to spend another 1 - 60 session of my life down the tube for just 10 levels to get to the "newest thing in". I really hate it really and would rather quit the stupid thing. IT'S ALL A BLOODY GRIND. I love games like crysis where you can really get in on the action. Haha yeah I don't like it much and prefer to get along without. What did you do?

$400? sheesh i almost want to start the game and get a real high level just so i can sell my account for insane amounts of dosh later.

I've played WoW (World of Warcraft) for over a year now. I've got a couple level 70's and several other various level characters. Admittedly I play way too much.

One question I have is why is this such an addictive game? My belief is that it satisfies a need for achievement / success within us, competition as well. These things are fairly obvious answers though.

Why do we choose to take the intangible benifit of completing a quest in a game over those of real life? I.e. WoW vs the glamorous task of doing dishes.

Is there a way to perhaps make the real tasks of life have more appeal? Should I write up a quest for doing my dishes and give a reward at the end? I'm mostly joking, but not totally.
