Connections Re-Established......

I was happy enough to meet a friend from WoW on MSN earlier, we had a long chat, I explained how I came to quit as it was never something I fully explained to many people.

Initially the game was addictive, I didn't really have much time for community as it got in the way of killing stuff for money and experience points. Then I joined a guild of good people, saw people come and go, some I couldn't have cared less about and some people but there were people that I "linked" with. So I go from a member of the guild to an officer and stick my neck out and shout a bit (as I do), there are several major shifts in guild members, mainly outward, followed by hefty and non picky recruitment drives. Member movements also cater for power shifts and my voice as an officer of the guild starts to be heard. An unfortunate set of events lead to my taking leadership of the guild and things were pretty good for a time. Twisted Souls wasn't a peaceful place and there was always a core of unrest, but usually this was fairly easy to fix............ however, once the expansion was released, cracks started to appear. Leadership was once again passed on and unrest grew further. The walls fell and many fled the guild. Leadership was briefly passed back to me, I got rid of Twisted Souls and created a guild called Sanctuary for just the close friends that were left of TS................. but alas the wounds had already been opened, for many. I left Warcraft after deleting all of my characters and passing all money to my girlfriend.

Thats my life in WoW in a nutshell, it all sounds quite miserable, but there were alot of fantastic times woven into that aswell.

But times change, I just want to see to it that some contact is reclaimed and friendships rekindled.
