I am a periodic altaholic and I have had many characters that have yet to hit 80….. Many people have the same issues but I can’t help wonder why the people who don’t can stick with only one character and enjoy it so much. For instance recently I’ve been thinking about how I can always get a group on my prot warrior, but the issue is I started a tank so I could tank if I needed to, sure I enjoy tanking sometimes, and I’m not horrible at it (at least from what I hear), but I wonder is it worth the trouble. Sure I enjoy my rogue, or should I say enjoyed my rogue until I hit the level cap and learned how to churn out damage with it, but now I look back at all the hardships I had with him and miss all the preparation I had to put into every fight. I think my hunter is the mucho awesomeness, but as it is- I can hardly ever get groups for him, I’m nearly maxed out on his professions, and I’ve done a huge chunk of quests on him already. I have my 66 deathknight and warlock which I enjoy…sometimes but I’m not sure I like the feel of a dwarf dk anymore and he would be like my 7th attempt to level one. My warlock is fun….loads of fun, but when push comes to shove I really don’t want to have to gear yet another character….
So here I am with 4 80s and one of them (my pally) I don’t even really enjoy at all. I’ve done some moderate raiding but in my guild I don’t feel pushed to achieve anymore in that arena. I don’t pvp because I don’t have the machine, experience, or reaction time for it- more honestly, I’m mediocre at best at it. So I just don’t know what to do right now. Some would suggest spending some time on another game- to be honest I first started playing to avoid spending so much on gaming and I would probably empty out my bank account doing so.
will the wonder never be found again?
All in all I miss exploring something new, figuring out how things were supposed to work, and most of all I miss the wonder of what else Blizzard had out there for me. Alot of people may consider this to be controversial but being someone who has done most everything in game several times I miss when things were harder, not harder just for the sake of being harder, but harder so that when I made a slight improvement, hit another level, went a new place- that I could see a difference, that I could have something new to master- now all I have is some memories of how things “felt” and when I come back to them I am never able to recapture any of that old fire. I’m sure I’ll get over this feeling soon, whether it be by finding something new or by forcibly making myself forget these realizations but what I can say now is a simple quote from an older sci-fi show I watched as a kid about time travel: “in truth, you can never go home, because home will change whether you do or not”
