Hi guys,
This morning I did the most difficult thing I've had to do in this game yet - I left the guild. I am posting here to explain why.
First of all I want to make sure all of you know I still feel Dread Lords is the best guild on Thunderhorn. I have not left DL to join another guild. My characters have, however, joined the guild "In Honour of the Old One", which is a guild one of my numerous alts started with my husband and his brothers, to give us a chance to play the game together. Chel, Ser, Chor and Sarv need time to think, and while they do that, they do not want random guild invites, hence the decision to house them in IHotOO for the time being.
Now to the reasons why I left the best guild on Thunderhorn.
World of Warcraft is a game. I pay to play the game, and I want to play it my way, and do the things I want to do, on whichever character I feel like playing at that moment. Lately this has not been the case for me. To log into DL has on many occasions felt like work, something I have to do because it is expected of me.
Don't get me wrong, during these past couple of months I have had many glorious and fun moments as well, but all in all I have started to feel like I'm in the wrong place.
The amount of cursing my poor husband has had to put up with because of guildies whining, begging and bickering has increasingly grown. The times I've been happiest playing WoW is when I have played only with the hubby, or all alone, without anyone or anything else demanding my attention. No guild politics, no guild chat I need to watch for possible promotions or demotions, or just questions that need answering, no nothing. Just me, the husband and the game.
What now, then?
I will be around. I will most probably be available for instancing with Chel on occasion, so don't hesitate to ask. I will also be exploring the dark side of the game, the alliance, with my 15-to-the-dozen Nelf Rogue on another server. I will probably be crying a little after work today, as I know I will still miss Dread Lords terribly, and all the wonderful people I have met in the guild. I don't think I'll ever be able to thank some of you enough for all the good times I've had, and I hope we can have more of them in the future, even if my tabard is different than yours.
Well. That's it, I guess. If I think of anything more that needs to be said, I'll add it later on. But for now, take care, enjoy the game, and /hugs to all of you.
Love,
Chel
