Life, the Universe and World of Warcraft....

So here I sit and ponder, I've been playing WoW now for almost 6yrs, all through alpha and beta. I know, most of you think that it's a tad much. Believe me, you're preaching to the choir... :).

Of late though, I've been spending more time out and about with my girlfriend and her darling 3yr old little girl. I forgot how much I missed the social aspect of enjoying life. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to relax and play a game, but it seems like I've been living in the game and not appreciating what I have right in front of me. That and most of the time I feel like when I log into that infernal game I'm babysitting 200 grown children.....*shudder*

Any who, onto my point, which is this, WoW is just a game, and my one rule above all with this is that real world events and life are more important then a game. I guess what I'm really saying is that I finally decided that I'm done hiding in a virtual world and enjoy what I have in the real world. This doesn't mean that I'm going to stop playing World of Warcraft, just means that I'm going to pay more attention to everything and everyone that is physically around me.
