To WoW or Not to WoW

It’s been about a month now since I stopped playing World of Warcraft, and just like the last time I swore I would kick the habit, I feel the urge to log back into the immersing world of Azeroth and work on leveling my many toons to level 70. Why the sudden desire to allow myself to get addicted all over again? I’m sure it has something to do with the sudden deluge of information pertaining to the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King that has me all shades of excited. While I wasn’t able to secure myself a spot in the ongoing beta (and even if I was I’d probably end up selling it on Ebay for $300) merely reading through IGN’s hands on experience with the new Death Knight Hero class is enough for me to feel that all too familiar twitch in my clicking finger.

With Wrath of the Lich King still several months away, there’s more than enough games to keep me occupied before its release on November 3rd. At the end of August, there’s Mercenaries 2, and then over the next two months I have games like Fable 2 and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to look forward to. On top of all that, I have a spot in Warhammer: Online’s open beta which I’m thinking may actually be a serious contender for World of Warcraft’s MMORPG throne.

But then again, I could spend the next two months turning my Level 50 Blood Elf Paladin into the healer that’s probably going to be high in demand once the Death Knight’s diseases start wrecking havoc in the PVP arena.

It’s definitely a tough decision. School is going to start in a matter of weeks so my already sparse free time is going to become even more limited, but too limited to support my World of Warcraft addiction?

Hm….

Mark Fujii: I'm your typical college student who plays too much video games. I also work as an electronic sales associate, meaning I sell Ipods and violent video games to your children when not trying to sneak off and play Super Smash Bros while the boss isn't looking. Oh, and I'm totally awesome. True fact.
