As of 3am tomorrow, Der Hexenhammer will be on a prolonged hiatus. I’ve played as a human warlock in Wow since before the love patch. I was there before Battlegrounds, I even went to SS/Hillsbrad battlefield at level 30.
There are tons of people to say bai to. Most probably won’t read this, so I’m not going into names, but suffice to say Ghost & Order of the Wall ftw.
I am leaving Wow for the same reason that many are: it’s lost its appeal. I no longer care about new items, and the new challenges feel like the old ones rehashed. The guild situation has not helped, but really that’s secondary to the fact that I just have no interest in raiding. Even the idea of trying to hit a regular spot makes me feel mildly nauseated.
Blizzard have managed to create a product with all the signs of a true classic. Wow expanded the player base of MMORPGs beyond anyone’s best estimates – it brought more new people in faster than anyone else could have managed. The next generation is going to have to do something even more revolutionary.
Anyway, long story short it’s been a blast and time to move on.

*HUGS* I’ll miss the Hex loads, won’t be the same without you, though I am beginning to veer down that same path myself. Will ofc still see you about, and perhaps we will meet again meet in another MMORPG, when we are both cats….
Sorry to see you go, particularly given that you were the person who gave me the guest pass that led me down this road :)
I’m sure we’ll play one of these damn games together again, if not this one some other one!
Gratz! I hear RL is the next level after 70; the Wanderer and I may have just dinged as well.
Hexenhammer was one of those peps who gave me a real helping hand when I first played. I quit a good while back, but I’m glad that you grokked WoW in its fullness. Happy trails.
