Quitting

I'm writing this journal to chronicle my attempt to quit World of Warcraft. I loved the game and still very much do. I anticipate that I will go through a ton of withdrawal and already have since trying to swear it off a week ago. Once my subscription expires tomorrow, my ability to relapse into playing will be severely retarded and I personally fear a ton of anxiety will result.

They say that writing about your experiences helps you think about them, so here I am :)

I will likely write a shit-ton about WoW mechanics and the ingame politics of Argent Dawn. And undoubtedly some of my thoughts will wander over to real life and my luck (and lack thereof) reconstructing my life and finding happiness without WoW.

This is somewhat complicated by the fact that I applied to Blizzard Entertainment to be a Night Shift Game Tester for World of Warcraft. If I get a response and offer back, this might change the dynamics of my so-called break from WoW.

I have about 11 hours left on my subscription. I stopped resisting and I'm going to try to get some WoW in before my subscription ends. It was supposed to end today but apparently I got a day's credit because of Blizzard server troubles. I know I shouldn't play but but....sigh.

Yeah, I do have a problem.
