WoW player quits WoW. All he got was this crappy t-shirt.

That's a really well-written commentary, and it's certainly not limited to WoW. Thanks for the link.

Indeed. I haven't played WoW, since I know I've repeatedly got hooked on MUDs and MUSHs over the previous 13 years and just know that I'd get addicted. I keep considering the 14 day trial, just to say I've played it, but I know it isn't worth the risk.

Still, I spend around an hour a day playing around half a dozen online management games...

Interesting.

Good thing my guild(s) are much more casual about things, huh :)

... didn't you post about major WoW-guild-related drama recently? Several times? Or were just being sarcastic then?

[velithya]

I meant we were casual about raiding and such, casual about time commitments.

I think that part of his commentary had to do with the insane level of time people spend making sure the guild runs so that people can do the above. This includes (but certainly is not limited to) dealing with shiatty, time-wasting internal politics and wrangling over what takes place in a virtual game world.

I'll second Amy. I don't think the problems outlined in the article are totally absent at what I think your level of play is.
