![]() The initial reaction was almost universally positive. It's been noticeable how the tone has changed as people progress through Legion. Unfortunately, it also seems to have the vampiric ability to suck all the joy out of itself in remarkably short order. It has a vast wealth of content, a huge and fascinating world and something for everyone. Even the two EQs and DCUO, for which I do pay but don't have to.Īnd then I though some more and realized that not only could I also play WoW for free under the Starter Edition but that I would probably enjoy that more than playing "real" WoW in dribs and drabs, here and there. And round about then it occurred to me that all of these options plus dozens more were available to me for free. I thought about AdventureQuest going into Open Beta in a few weeks. And the ones I was in the middle of and enjoying and then dropped for no reason - Black Desert, Blade and Soul, ArcheAge.Īs I was thinking it over I watched a little of MJ's First Look at Twin Saga. Then there's the long list of MMOs I haven't logged into for a while but still think about logging into most days - Dragomon Hunter, Riders of Icarus, Dragon Nest, Rift, Landmark. This morning, home all day with the house to myself, I thought about what I might play and a whole flurry of options presented themselves. That made me remember I was paying a subscription that included DCUO so I got that fired up and I played last night, did a couple of levels and had a blast. DBG announced their expansion program, handed out Level 95s and fired up a double xp weekend so I went back to Norrath, both flavors. Mostly I went on playing GW2, which I play for several hours every day and a lot of hours every weekend. Briefly there was a future where I'd grind quests and gear up and Azeroth would be a place I lived.Īnd then I stopped logging in. I bought a few items on the Auction House to fill in the slots the Invasions had missed. There I had fun for a while, running around killing mobs that dropped things that might be upgrades if only they were for my class. After a couple of hubs I flew to The Timeless Isle, about which I'd read some good things on various blogs a year or two back.Ĭan I at least get a change of clothes before I go? Momentum carried me through the first few days, when I took the Hunter to begin what seemed to be the start of the main Pandaria questline but it felt flat and a little bit, well, dull.Īfter the excitement of the invasions, much though I complained about certain aspects of them at the time, the prospect of completing dozens, scores, hundreds of quests as a way of leveling up seemed strangely unappealing. Once the invasions ended though, and I decided not to buy Legion just yet, I pretty much stopped logging in. Before the Invasions started I was happily leveling my Gnome Hunter and once the dreadnaughts started disgorging demons I was there every night along with everyone else, battling the hordes and soaking up the xp. I was playing, almost daily, for several weeks. The thing is, though, I'm not playing WoW right now. I could, eventually, buy Legion and join everyone else in what, by then, will be stale, old content, as we all wait another two years for whatever comes next. I could try Pet Battles, take a look at my Garrison, get to 100 and open all those boxes in the bank. I could explore the changes wrought by the Cataclysm and adventure through Pandaria, which just about everyone seems to have re-assessed as one of WoW's highlights. That would mean I could log in on a whim and play my Hunter or my Warlock or anyone else. On the one hand it's only a tenner a month and that's buried in the monthly credit card bill. ![]() ![]() I had a think about it this morning and decided to cancel. My subscription to WoW runs out in a couple of days.
