barringtonSo many people I know are playing it, I figured I might as well resurrect my crew. That's right: I'm reactivating my World of Warcraft account, which has lain dormant since December 2nd, 2005. That's a good ten months in which I didn't miss the game much, what with hardly ever getting to play with people I knew.
How I feel about playing it again? I guess that depends how much I do. But with a quietish period approaching as the projects I have are only simmering rather than alive, and finally a pay rise from work... Well, I figure I'll give it a shot.
It still takes forever to install, this four-disc bastard, even with my spanky new PC and it's faster than light DVD-ROM drive. Ten months down the track, no doubt the accumulated update patches will take an extra two hours to download and install, and every character will have to choose new talents. And I'll have to install whatever mods used to use, if I can remember their names...
I've no idea even how the game will look now - before I had the minimum spec video card required to play, as in the one written on the box. Now I have a beast with a 7 in its name and half a gig of memory in its brain. I suspect it will like putting my glasses on after doing a show without them.
Anyway, let me know what servers I should be on, times I should be playing... I'll move my old characters around a bit if I have to, rather than start all over again - I doubt I'll have any friends left on the old servers, and I like my characters.
