When Cataclysm hit the store shelves, I found myself picking the game up on day one, once again. I was pretty engaged with Nerv (which has now transferred to Blackrock) on Ainx, but remained in Still Life on my Paladin and raided with the small, more casual 10-man crew on Kilrogg. Although Cataclysm was initially pretty fun and Nerv did reasonably well at progressing through content, it didn't have the same feel as prior expansions. On February 8th 2011 I had to make a week-long trip out of the country and when I came back, Still Life 10-man fell apart due to lack of interest. Almost everyone cancelled their subscription and went to play other games. Nerv was still together, but only for another week - just enough time to get me a Nefarian kill. I lost interest in WoW as well and sure enough my subscription followed.
Over the next few months I played some more Rift, delved into Star Wars: The Old Republic for a month, played some non-MMOs like Starcraft 2, Deus Ex and more recently Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2 an Torchlight 2. Most of all, 2010-2012 were two years which I dedicated to getting all my university coursework finished and finally graduating which happened just this summer.
I am now also, once again, LFG and
ready to raid.
The End
