Settled

After some ridiculous weeks of MMO hoping, I am now happily back in Lord of the Rings online. I have resolved to stop being tempted back to games I have stopped playing for valid reasons. The passage of time makes me forget those reasons, and reading new info about those former loves can be very enthralling and tempt you back, then you return and maybe have fun for a bit, until all the reasons you left become apparent once again, and you leave again, until the next juicy bit of news about a patch, or a tempting expansion appears, and you are drawn under once again. And of course when I say you, I mean me. It is like MMO quicksand, and I want out. The amount of money I must have wasted on reactivating an account, paying for a month but only playing for one or two evenings does not bear thinking about. So my new plan is to write down a series of "Reasons I will not re-subscribe to..." articles about all the MMOs which are stacking up on my shelves. Won't that be fun for us all? Hmmm?

Nomadic

Still moving from game to game depending on my mood. The cracks are really starting to show in Warhammer, I am just not sure there is enough there to keep me interested. I enjoy getting lost in virtual worlds, and I am not feeling this at all there sadly. I wonder if a decent guild would change my feelings for the game, but so far I have had no luck on that front. I have had some great RvR there in the last few days, but I just do not think that will be enough to keep me playing.
