Dear Blog,
Has anyone else noticed that it seems like WoW is possibly lacking a small portion of their millions of players?? I got an e-mail from them the other day about an account I had not been playing in a few months (maybe 6?) and they were offering me 7 days of free playing time. I thought at first it might have been a scam, I have gotten a few of those in my e-mail over the years, "just enter your account information here on this page that LOOKS like the WoW log in page and in just a few hours your account will be for sale on e-bay" type things, but it turns out this one was legit. I am also seeing all those mohawk grenade commercials on like every channel, I mean, I enjoy it, yaaay Mr.T and all, but is it possible that WoW is throwing out mad marketing ploys to try and re-recruit their lost players? It did seem like there were less people standing about when I logged on like a sucker to do the new Pilgrim's Bounty achievements... I just really wanted that turkey pet... lol.
I really do think I am finished with WoW though... Even when I was working to get my turkey pet I was irritated at how repetitive and time consuming it was. It seems that although WoW got another month out of me so I could check out pilgrim's bounty (and I won't lie... I wanted a mohawk grenade...) I was so disappointed and fed up with spending hours getting yet another useless title and pet that I am pretty sure there'll be no going back for me now. Even the idea of Cataclysm doesn't appeal to me anymore! I mean, I always have fun when I play with just my boyfriend or my best friend, but neither of them play much anymore either... Oh well, we will see I guess! For now I am happy with my Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age, Sims, and Peggle! hehe

Yeah, I've been playing WoW as well, but I ground to a halt. Part of it is I'm mostly alone; my brother and sis-in-law have moved on to other games right now.
ReplyDeleteAfter getting Exalted with the Kalu'ak, I really didn't find the Argent Tournament all that exciting... in fact, those dailies are some of the worst time-wasting grind-fests I've ever encountered.
I had been working away on the Argent Tournament dailies with my main before my original quit mid summer. I was all excited about turning in my champion's seals for heirloom gear, because leveling alts used to be one of my favorite pass times... but I found the heirlooms didn't really speed things up enough to be worth the effort I'd made doing those damn repetitive dailys for months... I was also playing alone, which is super blah! I was so into the game back when I had a guild full of people I liked, lol.
ReplyDeleteI played from Oct 2008 to Oct 2009, I was way too into it but can't say I miss it much. Sometimes I think about going back but the urge passes quickly and I feel kind of dirty afterwards.
