Taking a break

[Nebu]

I'm not going to be on much in the near future, but I'd like to continue playing when you all need a 5 man healer.   If you guys would like to do some dungeon crawls in Outlands, just post a day and time and I'll be happy to help.

The only thing less fun than grinding faction solo is getting ganked by people in purple armor while grinding faction.   I think a break may do me well. 

[MrHat]

I'm out.

Broke my promise of playing casually weekends, trying to do Kara instead of going to brunch with people.

Consider me /canceled from MMOs, aka gamer cancer, for a while.

[Xerapis]

Ya know, it's kinda bizarro when I login during US prime time and see that out of a 61 member guild...I AM THE ONLY ONE ONLINE!

I mean, DAMN!

[MrHat]

Smells like F13 spirit.

 

[raydeen]

I wish I had more time to play but I've got a ton on my plate and a few hours on the weekend are about it. Even spring break is getting eaten up with work.

[Merusk]

^^ This.

This is why I didn't rush, didn't push and didn't consider Malvi "my main."  It took longer than I expected, but as always the usual "gaming ADD" and "differing goals" thing blew up again.   You can usually catch a few of us EST players on every few days, (I know I haven't been alone when I log in to do a BG or two) but not much more than that.

[Kail]

I'm still around, but only for maybe an hour a day.  There's really not much to do; noone else is on, and when they are, there's not much I can do to help.  There's not a lot I can do solo or anything, and I'm not crazy about PUGs.  So, mostly I just do the daily PvP and try to get one or two thousand honor points before I log.  If someone needs me for something, feel free to let me know, but I feel like a bit like a third wheel otherwise.  No sense in sitting around staring at the Batphone in case someone needs a gimpy Arms warrior or anything.

Maybe 2.4 will have something we can do as a guild; who knows.

[Xerapis]

I dunno, one the big things for me was just to have people to at least chat with while levelling, mining, or whatever.  When I login and no one's online, I start to wonder why I even bother.

[stu]

The shine has worn off! I think we all knew this was bound to happen.

I still haven't resorted to referring to Barrens Chat for company, but it's been quiet for a while now. A full plate of classes and a job hasn't increased my play time. Since this is the first character I've leveled past 55 (and my second stab at the game), I'm still into it and will get to 70 at some point. There won't be a different MMO getting my money for a while, at least.

[Selby]

I've got a 5 month old who is consuming a ton of my attention and a gaming partner who has decided to go for 70 on our Alliance server and potentially start raiding again (she says to do it, I do it), so that is where all my time went.

[MrHat]

Eh.

F13 guilds always come with a *

[Dren]

I didn't even attempt joining you guys for this very reason.  You guys have one or both of these characteristics:

1.  You jump around from game to game constantly.  Not that some people don't do this, but a huge percentage of you here do.  It is kind of what brought you together in the first place.

2.  Most of you have a love/hate relationship with MMO's.  I know a lot of you are spending a significant amount of time on platformers or single player PC games, so the attendance on a nightly basis will always be very sporadic.

I get into MMO's either to just sample or go for the long haul.  I like the slow constant feeling of a morphine drip rather than multiple hits of crack each month.

That's F13 guild's problem:  too many crack users.

[Merusk]

I'm not a jumper or a consoler.. I just haven't given-up on my other server toons.  Fucking WoW is my crack vial, and I still play at least every other night.  I just have 'things to do' since I'm gathering badges/ raiding every few nights.

At least I'm not playing 14 hour weekend stretches anymore.   

[Nebu]

I'm still playing WoW, I've just moved to another server with a group of old friends.  I guess the PvP server just wasn't my thing.  I love to PvP, but I prefer to choose when and where I do.  Sometimes a night of mindess pve is a nice diversion.  You just can't do that on a pvp server.

[Kail]

That's F13 guild's problem:  too many crack users.

I dunno, I think part of it is game mechanics.  Even when we had  people online, there wasn't much we could do with each other.  1-70 is all solo, now, pretty much.  Then at 70, there's nothing else to do unless everyone else is 70 (unless you feel like running AV over and over and over and over).  If someone can come up with something for us to do, then I'd love to be there, but I can't think of anything unless A: we hit some critical mass of 70s and can start doing 5-mans or, or B: there's something added for smaller groups to do.

[Jayce]

I wish I would have been a bigger part of this in its heyday, but just about the time it started up, I finally convinced two of my RL friends to play on my "real" server.

Now they're approaching 70 and our collective interests are waning in the game 

One thing I found that I don't like about it, is that PvP is vastly different at 70 versus 1-69.  It seems like every lifeless jackass has a full set of arena purples, and while I like WoW PvP, I don't like it enough to plow a month+ of grinding BGs, then multiple weeks of grinding arena to get to the point where I'm at least competitive.

I don't enjoy PvE servers, and I don't enjoy level 70 PvP, so that consigns me to the 1-69 world, which is great the first 5 times.  For now...  I may be cultivating an interest in that OTHER PvP game...

[Rasix]

I'm still playing WoW, I've just moved to another server with a group of old friends.  I guess the PvP server just wasn't my thing.  I love to PvP, but I prefer to choose when and where I do.  Sometimes a night of mindess pve is a nice diversion.  You just can't do that on a pvp server.

This is why I was hesitant to join you all.  I know Nebu is more pvp centric than I am, and if he had problems with the PVP server environment...

Not to say this isn't expected, but with a group this small you run into problems with play times and enough folks to even do a basic 5 man.  If you can't even run a 5 man instance every once in a while, the game is just going to get stale.

[Nebu]

I think I lost interest when Hat, Kail, and especially Righ stopped playing.  Righ was really the cohesive force behind the guild and with him gone it's just not the same.  I got used to the pvp thing, but it's really not conducive to having fun on any support class.

[Selby]

If everyone is going to quit does this mean I can raid the guild bank for everything and rake the profit$? ;-)

I still play, just my free time has been considerably cut or focused on other characters.  Trying to drag a PvE fan to a PvP world just doesn't work, especially when you get 1 hour to play and you spend 30m of that running for bodies after a band of roving alliance decide to lay waste and camp your corpse.

[MrHat]

The guild bank is there to be raided.  Start looting early imo since you're capped to how much you can take out at a time unless you're the leader.

[Xanthippe]

My life's gotten busier lately, and when that happens, I play less WoW. 

I'm enjoying Outlands on the horde side - it's almost like new again.

[Signe]

I play once in a while, just not on that server. The Scyers server or something, mostly.  Sorry.  I simply don't enjoy WoW PvP.  I'm spending more time doing PvP in one of my  games and I like it lots more.  I AM NOT GOING TO PLAY SHADOWBANE AGAIN.  NOT!!!

I SWEAR!!!!!!!

[MrHat]

What?

[Righ]

Sorry. I didn't mean to go AWOL, but while waiting for people to want to do post-60 instance content,I downloaded the freebie strategy game Battle for Wesnoth and got addicted. :) Haven't fired up WoW for a couple of weeks. But if anybody wants to do stuff, I'm up for it.

So what server did you go to Nebu? Even though I may whine about leveling characters, its more fun than trying to get PUGs in a wacky semi-PvP, semi-RP server community. :P

[brellium]

Awesome, I get to 70th level and you all bail.


Good thing I went with the corp people, we've got nine 70's sofar.

[Xerapis]

Where are the corpers?

[Xanthippe]

Awesome, I get to 70th level and you all bail.


Good thing I went with the corp people, we've got nine 70's sofar.

I didn't bail, I'm just really slow.  I think I like the getting there more than being there.

[stu]

Same here. I like to take my time and hang out on the AH from time to time.

[Signe]

Sometimes I find the AH to be the most addicting part of the game.  Now... if only they would add farming.

[Jimbo]

Dang it!  I just got Webetrakkin up to level 11 and I'm still having fun being and Ork!  Zug Zug!  Of course I'm more an explorer and pvp than a grinder, but I do find myself setting and fishing for some reason...

Anyone got any low level 2 handed axes and bows/guns?

[Selby]

Where are the corpers?

"The Old Cabal" is their guild.  They have a few 70's who are on all the time.

[Signe]

They're on the same server, too.  Righ has grouped with them before.  Sometimes I wish everyone was still on the same site.  Except for Boog because I'm scared of him.  He kills people, right?

[brellium]

He's standing behind you, naked, covered in blood.

[Gobbeldygook]

And you can't see him.

Because he's a rogue.

[Der Helm]

That made me laugh.
