The end of an era.
My hardcore days are over.
That's right folks, I won't be doing the hardcore raiding scenario anymore. I just don't have the time nor the strength to continue those nights. Scheduling days coming from raiding are in direct conflict towards my night classes therefore I had to drop what I enjoy most in this game: the raiding aspect.
However it was time. I got a new job which will work all day, however I still want to continue my schooling and as such, will keep working towards night classes three days a week, 3 classes, and keep getting credits. Th earliest I ever get out of class is 8:30 and living about 45 minutes from home makes raiding quite inconvenient.
There's a couple of upsides to this: I'm starting a new relationship so I can focus on it. I also want to focus on my schooling a bit more and try to ramp up my marks from last year and get a stronger GPA.
I'll be raiding still but at a MUCH more casual level: with rl friends who play the game. I'll be way behind the learning curve with them but I'll enjoy my time and just take it for what it is: fun times with friends.
As for the posts...I don't think much else is going to be needed on my account to write the guides. If anything, I'll have more time to test, and to do the research because you buggers are too lazy to test.
I'll keep the guides going as long as I can until I just cannot keep up with the change and at that point, I will step down and let someone else take care of the reins.
But for the fun times and not so fun times, for the good and the bad, thank you for all of it.

Good luck Kren. Seems like you are making a smart move.
MacGyver still wins tho...Posted 08-17-2009 at 11:31 AM by Rokbal - You live about 45 minutes away from home?
:-P Just playing. I had to do the same thing once, and I am now better off for it.Posted 08-17-2009 at 03:36 PM by Poolstick - When you tell people you're casual don't just say casual, say baddie casual. I always seem to get more respect saying that for some reason :P.
Best of luck to you though. The real world has considerably fewer epic drops but you get used to it. You're paying the subscription fee for RL anyway, you might as well use it.Posted 08-17-2009 at 09:10 PM by Petninja
