Tales from Auberdine

We all have second thoughts, aren't we? So well, I got this beta, right? And I'm not playing it. A bit strange? Maybe, but let me explain meself. I miss excitement, that "what's next?" feeling, immersion and what-not. I miss it since Lich King days. Cataclysm wasn't so hot (and they ruined my Auberdine, fuckers), Pandaria... I mean - come on  - fluffy pandas in Warcraft? No, not really. I did it. I did it all, but I'll be really happy to leave teddybears and whatnot. I really miss this "WOW" effect I used to exprerience when I was discovering Titan story, Argent Crusade stuff in Northrend etc. Really feeling special, you know? Like a hero and a part of something bigger. Uh. I don't know if I make this clear for you, but... fuck it, you probably know. And that's precisely why I don't play beta. I want this feeling of new, this WOW effect, this immersion. I think I deserve it being subscriber and all :)) I really really want this exp...

Well it looks like I'l be busy :))) Congratulations, you've been selected to participate in the beta test of World of Warcraft®: Warlords of Draenor™!

So here we go. There is this dude, know him well, got him on facebook as well, we're joking there, sometimes chatting. Years ago we were in one community, raided together etc. Kinda close bond, as you gamers know. Close enough to exchange Battle.net IDs (not battletags, this other ones). So. He went on hiatus early Cataclysm. Now he's back. I see his name flashing on my screen now and then but... I have no need to talk with him in-game. I mean - at all. Which is strange, because I really like this guy and I know he likes me. Why is that? Is something very very childlish in me pouting because he went off game? Well, I may be strange, but not that strange :) It bothers me sometimes. Really bothers. Because it's strange and I cannot explain it. Shit.
