lately
Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2011 11:14 pm
I'm sorry I haven't been on lately... I have 2 cats and both of them decided NOW was a good time to get sick... one with pancreatitis and the other with a tumor in his abdomen. Both are doing OK right now but they have been taking up what little free time I have had for the last couple days so i haven had the option for playing anything...
That said, I am in need of a break from EQ for a while. I just am not enjoying raiding right now which is really the only reason I have been sticking with playing eq for the past few years. I like several of you in this guild and don't want you to think it has anything to do with the raid leaders of the guild, they have been doing a hell of a job keepin us going under not so great circumstances. I am not going to say that my days of playing EQ are over, but I will likely be canceling my 2 alt account and am considering whether there is a future for me in EQ at the moment. I just took a promotion at work and my playtime would become sporadic because of my being on call alot and if I cant be online reliably I don't know that I want to be part of a full time raiding guild. And if I cant commit to a full time raiding guild I don't know that there is much reason for me to continue playing since I really have only been playing this game for the last several years because of a commitment to my friends / guildmates and because of my love for raidng.
I really wish you all the best, I think you have a great group of people here, and i really want you all to have a great time with whatever is left for EQ. Unfortunately I just cant commit the kind of time to the guild i have i the past/ feel I would need to commit. So until something changes or I get to a point in RL where i feel I can be an asset to the guild I will be taking an extended break.
This will be my first real break since I joined a raiding guild back over 8 years ago and over my years of playing as a raid leader / guild leader I have learned never to say I will never be back again. I just feel right now that I don't have the time nor the energy to commit to raiding. Thank you to the MLF leadership for taking me in as a member and for trying so hard to keep us raiding despite all the adversity lately, I can really feel for you... I have been through it a few times myself. Bravo to those of you who continue to log in night after night, it is because of you that MLF continues to take steps forward... I wish I could stay one of the dedicated... I just cant handle it right now with everything I have goin on IRL. So... I will catch you later when I get bored with not playing EQ probably... to those of you I have played eq with for years... it has been an honor... I will never forget the great times we have had.
