So after logging nearly 120 days /played on my World of Warcraft account, I decided to hang it up. With the 1.11 patch, my Shaman class outlook as gone from bad to worse. Within recent weeks, we've been told there will be no futher updates until after the expansion. I took a hard honest look at things and drew a lot of parallels between MMORPG Raiding and Emulation coding....
- In both you spend countless hours doing the same thing for little progress
- In both you get a small "happy" each time you win an uber epic (or a new game works)
- In both you draw the attention of people who admire your hard work
- In both the quest is never complete
Now there is one SHARP contrast...
- Emulation coding is casual friendly. I can pick it up and put it down around my schedule not 39 others.
I have chosen to help out some people in the emulation community. I may or may not return to full capacity on my projects as I have forgotten a lot of the progress I was making. Consider this a "Welcome back to the fold" message post... I will need a lot of support to overcome my MMO addiction. Thanks.
