Drifting

Well I’m a little lost at the moment. I have a tendancy to over do things and I repeated the old mistakes that burned me out in the burning crusade.

A month ago it ocurred to me after 3 hours of whipes on heroic mimiron that I wasn’t having fun any more and that I hadn’t had any for a few weeks. Ulduar is not a fix for what I was feeling and I think I just needed a break from the same old, same old.

I’ve finally started back up gaming again last week, a buddy picked me up a copy of fallout 3. Its interesting playing an rpg that isn’t an mmo. I can just go through it and enjoy the quests and enviroment. The story line is super engaging and the biggest thing i’ve noticed is its about constant content.

Wow was very focused on the endgame, you needed to get to max level then started your grind with gear, rep and guildies. Leveling is enjoyable and frankly I’d forgotten what it was like.

I believe another issue that burned me out was keeping up with the joneses. I always felt a need to keep up with my guildies and to keep measuring my progress by the most hardcore people I knew. In Fallout 3 there is no one else to compare myself to, I play when I want and can really play a game on my terms (Which is how it was meant to be I suppose).

I’m still playing Fallout 3 but i’ve also picked up Atlantica and have even resubbed to Warhammer online to see how they have improved the game. Tobald keeps talking about Luminary so I might add that to my plate as well.

It should be interesting to see how it all turns out.
