Not that I dislike playing WoW but I really never wanted to get so addicted to it. I'm still one month away from my '3 months and get bored of an MMO' cycle but it seems like I'll go way beyond 3 months this time. Its gotten to the point where I don't even check GAIA these days, let alone my own thread. Which it never has during the other MMOs I used to play but back then, I never really had a "home thread" so I don't know if I could really compare.
The closer I got to 60 (which I happened to hit a week or two ago, just under 20 days since an in-game friend asked me to type in /played or some action like that) the more I got sucked in sweatdrop And now, that I am 60, being one of the only three high level warriors in the guild...I'm getting called in quite often. Not that I don't enjoy doing the pre-endgame instances, just that I'm almost always called in. And it doesn't even necessarily have to be by people within the guild, I get at least 6-8 requests a day to come tank for these people I don't even know. Just last night, within an hour, I got 5 requests just as I was in the process of logging off sweatdrop And this was freakin' 2 in the morning gonk Its just giving me less and less time to help my actual friends, making me wonder if they think I'm just dropping them for my other guildmates...
Though, I guess no one else can really tell how I'm almost always asked 'to tank', and how it just seems like I'm snubbing people just 'cuz I'm 60. Ah well...again, not that I don't enjoy going to these instances, I'm having a ton of fun just learning the mob patterns, getting gear and being successful without any hitches. I just don't want my friends thinking, both on GAIA and those I met in-game (before joining this guild and hitting 60), that I'm too good for them now that I've hit the cap. Well, except for Peant, who I met in my -teens. But he just sucks, everyone's better than him xp And far less annoying, for 3 days, he's "politely" begging me for gold stare
Anyway, to lighten the mood, I guess, here are some pre-60 screenshots. They're quite scenic in my opinion though they're all of the same place, just enjoying the sun setting or rising, I can't remember xp

I am sorry about leaving the guild... hope it didin't ruin your good standing with the guild since I came in with you. After Horvax decided to leave, and the fact I never really wanted to join a guild till I was level 60 and knew what I was doing, I decided to leave... but I tried being as polite about it as possible with the guild. The other fact that when Horvax left, most of the guild was all "Who was that guy? When was he in our guild?" really clinched the feeling I was getting that even though I had the name over my head, I wasin't really a member of the guild... just a number to add towards their size. xp I was getting the exact opposite effect to you (probably because I was so low in levels) but I was constanly being ignored unless it was me saying "hello guild" or "G'night guild" which was sad because there were times I was ignored when I was giving out free stuff xp xd But I do feel less tied down now that I'm not in a guild. I think I'm going to wait till I'm actually ready to work with a guild, to re-consider joining one... and if none will accept me, them's the breaks.
xd Good old Peant! I warned my friend Shea to stay away from him. Sounds like somone might be added shortly to your ignor list eh? xd
When I'm lv. 60 this little hunter gonna hunt you down for sure and do some raids together! ...but by then, the expansion will probably be out, and you'll be lv. 70 xd xp
