I have come to the conclusion that it is time to retire Nebuoh from raiding.
Lately I have not been enjoying myself in the (raiding) game anymore. This has had several reasons, all of which have absolutely nothing to do with SoG as a guild.
I have been playing this game from day 1 and have enjoyed everything about it when I was levelling. I enjoyed the entire PVP part and made it to rank 12. I enjoyed the PVE part when I started with DD but most of all during the raiding time with you guys in RG2 and RG1. However, lately...
Real life is and should always be the most important thing. Rushing home from work to make it in time for raids is not good. When asked by friends to go out, telling them it is not possible on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays is not good. In general planning my RL around raiding instead of the other way around is not good.
Also getting worked up about game contents (loot), loot systems, the total number of hunters or any other kind of game related matter is not good. It's a freaking game, a very addictive game, but still a game. I have been telling me this for ever, but somewhere along the line I must have taken the wrong exit. So what if I didn't get the loot or if I have to sit out on a raid? Indeed, so what, then why do I keep myself occupied with these thoughts? Not good, so time to take a break from it.
The only time I have been really enjoying myself inside WoW, lately, has been during the times I have been questing with my son, who is also with SoG. When I see his innocent joy when he plays the game and how he makes me feel the same by enjoying the simple things of this game, it made me realise how far astray I had gone. Taking the game way too far serious is not good.
Last night I told someone who has also stopped actively with this game, that I wasn't gonna quit because the game is still a lot of fun. I then realised that the fun was coming from playing my lower level alts together with my son and that it was not coming from raiding with my hunter anymore.
And so, this is the end for my hunter. I have asked TL to demote me to soldier. I will remain in the guild with my alts, if possible, and will be online to play together with my son, unbound to anything. It also means that my mage will not be too active in the SoGOne runs as well. I am very sorry for the very short notice and I apologise to the RG1 members for that.
When TBC comes out, who knows what might happen, but for now, thanks all for a great time in RG2 and RG1. Good luck to both raid groups and I am sure that both will do excellent. Personal cheers to Incentos and Risingstar and I will see you in RL for sure and then you can show me all those new epixx.
Sad :sad: as always...
But RL motivation first of all :byebye:
GL matey :)
Thats it...... I wont even write my thoughts! :sad:

Same, as usual,
Having played a bit of TBC, I can only hope peopel stay around long enough to give it a go, it's fantastic, everything is tweaked to be fun and to avoid having to grind
.
best so far is gryphon bombing runs, it's amazing, don't leave
Not another hunter! Man, chat is going to be sooooo boring. The old guard are slowly leaving...
Sorry to hear m8, will miss ya. Have fun gaming with your son tho.
Als je ergens hulp bij nodig hebt dan hoor ik het wel :)
