First of all, I will preface this with saying that I consider myself to be a pretty poor player all around, from a skill standpoint. I play a lot, but it doesn’t translate into being a spectacular raider, or mythic+ instance runner, or PVPer. I am just fairly average.
I have been on Kirin Tor since the server went live, playing mostly with my wife (who is on an off cycle with WoW at the moment, as nothing in BFA hooked her.) I have been in a couple of guilds, but have been in Broken Tower since I started it, I don’t even remember how long ago that was.
My wife and I, along with a few friends from previous guilds, set about getting the stay classy achievement, and as an altoholic to the nth degree, I did a fair amount of that leveling myself. So it’s difficult for me to want to pull away from that, despite no one being left around in the guild except me and my army of alts. Adding to that attachment is the fact that a lady my wife and I considered our WoW-Mom, who passed away several years ago after struggling with cancer, well, all of her toons are still parked in Broken Tower. It’s bittersweet to see the last log in times growing and growing, not just on her, but everyone that has left, but more so for her, because I know that none of those characters will ever pop online again. It’s hard to leave that behind. It’s somewhat of a safety blanket.
That said, I know, KNOW, from my past experiences that this game is so much MORE engaging when played with friends. Rising against challenges together, finding amusing stuff to get into as a unit, it is something that addicted me to this game in the beginning, and is the thing I feel I am lacking in the game right now. I want to be a part of something again.
The in game community finder leaves a lot to be desired, as it doesn’t do much to limit the scope of your searches. Do we have any active communities based on our server cluster? Or maybe it’s even time to move further and find a new home. I don’t know. I just want to have fun in the game again, instead of feeling so alone whenever I log in.
What do we have going on, KT/SWC/Sent?
If you’re looking for a new guild home, poke me when I’m online and we can chat so you can see if we’re a good fit for you. My btag is Tula#1525.
You can peruse our thread of hilarity on this very forum, if you’re so inclined.
