I really don’t think there’s anything that WoW keeps me from doing. I’m also fairly anti-social. I like to play video games, read, cook (and eat), work out, cuddle with my fiance and my cats while watching movies.

If I didn’t play WoW my other activities wouldn’t change, just the amount of time I spend on them.

When I start getting bored of WoW, I reshuffle some time towards other activities (crafts, etc). Since my guild only raids 3 nights per week, I can be rather flexible with my gaming time. The only thing I regret is not going for walks regularly, but I know that gaming is not the cause of that… getting a puppy will enable me to go for the long walks that I’d like to take but can’t convince my husband to come along with… and I don’t trust the area to walk alone, and can’t motivate myself to DRIVE out to a friend’s neighborhood and impose on them to walk around.

WoW is my sit down after the kids go to bed and relax time. Between work and kid actvities, I’m on the go all day. WoW is something that keeps the mind active and allows my body to relax. I can’t see not having that activity to help me wind down.

That being said, I’m ready for another game. The problem is that there just isn’t one out there that captures my attention. I’ve been playing MMOs for 12ish years starting in 1998 with EQ. I played EQ for 5, DAoC for 2 and now WoW for 5 with a short stints into Vanguard and City of Heroes. Many of the other available games right now don’t really appeal to me.

I like the sword and sorcery genre and I’m strictly PvE. I thought EQ was a bit too much of a grind, though I’m not bitter about it like some people were. I think WoW is a bit too easy. Give me something with a decent story and a difficulty level somewhere in the middle and a new world to explore and I think I’d consider switching.

I miss my crafts; if I quit WoW I’d have time to make costumes and stained glass and rugs and mend the pile of clothes in the corner. Of course, I do still sew while on flight paths, but you can’t hop up and fire up the glass grinder just between Orgrimmar and Zoram’gar.

Ahhhhhhh, you are in the Northwest? I think I’m gonna cry!

Long story short, I’m from there but we are military so I’m stuck on the East Coast at the moment. And I hate it. But WoW is what helps keep me sane as it is gives me something to do no matter how often or where we move.

I look forward to the day we get out and settle down again. And I’ve already told my husband that when we do settle I will either drastically cut back on WoW or quit entirely. I want to have a garden, I am looking forward to biking again (there are zero good trails around this stupid part of the country). I miss camping and hiking. I’d like to get back into fostering animal rescues. So I’ve got my list ready and waiting for the day I’m able to step away from WoW. But until then it gets my near-undivided attention and does a good job of keeping me busy.
