Better Luck Next Time

I came back to WoW after taking about a year off because I’d managed to score a ticket to Blizzcon. Irconically, not going to Blizzcon about a year prior was one of the main reasons I lost the motivation to play WoW. That and the ladies. Much more entertaining than a video game. Much more social, too. True story.

Anyway, when the Warlords of Draenor release date came out I was stoked. Blizzcon and a new expansion? All within a week? The gamer crawling around in my wheelhouse giggled like a fiend.

Those giggles turned to gagging when my work schedule was changed. Oh I was going to be out of town at the beginning of November, but I wasn’t going to be in Anaheim. I would be out of town on standby for work, for two weeks. Which meant that not only was I not going to Blizzcon, but I would be AFK for the first week of WoD.

A double-whammy of suck.

The expansion will be over a week old by the time I can even log back into my computer. But as strange as it may seem, I do not feel like this is a bad thing. There are certain advantages to waiting before getting into Warlords.

So while there are some disadvantages to not logging in on Day One, it’s nothing I’ll lose sleep over. There will be plenty of sleep to lose on Day Seven and beyond.
