Today I posted on the guild forums that I was taking a break. I had been thinking since last week but this week’s show brought out my honest opinion of Blizzard. I’m not saying anyone should join my train of thought. I’m simply saying that is how I feel.

Anger, frustration, sadness, guilt, and sorrow are all words that describe how I feel. Not being sure how I truly felt, I cancelled my account last night. I did this to force myself to make a decision. What I wasn’t prepared for was the flood of emotions that soon followed.

“World of Warcraft is just a video game.” That is what outsiders say. They don’t understand the social aspect of the game. They don’t understand that while some people play softball or are on a bowling team or go to book club, that this is our outlet. MMO’s are much more than just video games. If you want to call me out for “QQ,” feel free. I’ve cancelled my subscription before and not gave a second thought. It is a video game and I turned it off. I played and was guilty of thinking “its just a game.” Now I sit here, angry at the company, but sad because I have met people I would call my friends. Sure they live in different areas of the world, but we still share a social bond. Leaving means leaving that bond.

I have given myself until Friday morning to decide what to do.
