Update
So, Zenos and I have pretty much stopped playing WoW. We just got a new puppy, and he's taking up a lot of our time. I have to say that I really don't miss the game all that much. We've been playing it for two years now...a break is a wonderful thing imo. We've already preordered expansion, so I know we will be gaming in some form for BC. We're probably going to reroll completely with the expansion, although that isn't for sure yet. Just what we're currently thinking.
I'm thinking a blood elf warlock, and he was thinking a blood elf mage. We'll see what happens:P

Not much new
So, not much new going on. I haven't been playing as much as I have in the past...not raiding makes me just not want to log in, lol. I have managed to get my hunter to lvl 53. She's still fun to play:P
Been busy doing IRL stuff right now...we're probably going to get a dog in the next couple of weeks, we're researching buying a cool new TV, and we are gonna be in the market for a condo in the near future. OMG...REAL LIFE! I have to say I've been enjoying it lately...
BTW, I love the holidays...and I have to admit that I like what Blizzard does in-game for the holdiays...the trick o' treating was awesome, I like the Christmas stuff...makes the game have another fun aspect and adds to the festiveness:P

Asshole Power
You're all probably wondering about the title of this post. Well...the short version is that lots of drama has occurred in the guild, and it stems from people being complete assholes. Here's a quick rundown of the current situation:
1. Prot Warrior leaves guild A to join bigger better guild B
2. Guild B breaks apart
3. Prot Warrior comes back, and an officer reinvites him to the guild
4. GM of guild A comes on, sees Prot Warrior is back and tells him to leave, and kicks him
5. Lots of people freak out, think it was a bad decision, and /gquit
6. Guild A is now split into two separate groups, and each side can now really only do 20 mans
So yeah...OMG has somewhat fallen apart. The people who gquit over this whole issue are all of the ones that I really couldn't stand and thought were assholes and immature, so in the end I really am not too sad over it all. It's unclear what will happen in the future...whether we all just kinda sit around and wait for the expansion or whether we try to build our ranks again. Zenos and I aren't sure what we're going to do...it's been wonderful having our evenings again, and not having to raid. I can't even describe how refreshing it has been.
It seems to me, after now being in three fairly stable guilds that have fallen apart, that drama and guild implosions are just what will happen to every guild, eventually. You can't keep everyone happy, people are always gonna take issue with something, and you're always gonna get those one or two assholes in the guild who just like to cause shit to hit the fan.
One thought that Zenos and I are just sorta kicking around is to maybe start over completely when the expansion hits. Find a new server, roll Blood Elves, and level them 1 to 70. It's just a thought, and one thing that makes this a sad decision is that we'd be leaving two awesome characters behind. Zenos and Zarina are fun to play, they're geared out, and there's still a lot of good friends on Cho'gall. I can't imagine saying goodbye to some of them...although a large amount of our friends are now spread between three servers (Draenor, Cho'gall, and The Forgotten Coast).
We're kinda just wandering around now, not really knowing what is going to happen, and in some ways not even caring. I personally have to wonder if I shouldn't completely shelve the game until expansion. I do still enjoy playing it though...but just not raiding every night. Maybe not raiding at all. I really can't decide what sort of player I am. When I'm in a casual guild I'm convinced that I'm a hardcore raider and that the guild just doesn't understand. When I'm in a hardcore raiding guild, I break under the pressure and time constraints and want out. There seems to be no happy medium for me. Half the time I don't even know what it is I want in the game. One thing that I do know that I enjoy is the social aspect. I like to make friends, I like to get involved with them on a personal level (not just a congrats that they got loot, but getting to know what they do outside of the game and who they really are as a person, not just a character), and I like to play with those people.
When all is said and done, I have to wonder if I'm not just one of those people who should play a character 1-60 and then start all over, again and again. I think it's the process I really enjoy...raiding has been fun and an eye-opening experience, but in the end it's so tedious.
Anyways...this post has wandered all over the place, hope you were all able to follow it! As you can tell I'm quite confused, and not sure what the future holds for us.
