I started playing this game 16 years ago, and have had a lot of fun in my time, met some cool people and had some grand adventures, this game has seen me through some very tough times from the loss of my Mother and through a lot of tough emotional times. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with both heart and kidney failure and despite doing everything I could to try to keep going and stay healthy well lets just say it’s been a roller coaster one that seems to be coming to a end, though again this games been a staple in keeping myself from breaking down emotionally. almost two months ago I had to enter into home hospice care which was terrifying to say the least, I wanted to thank everyone I’ve interacted with one several servers Argent Dawn, Bronzebeard and others through the years on both Horde and Alliance sides. The interactions I’ve had especially over the last 3 years have helped me a lot.
Over the last month it has been getting harder for me to get online and enjoy the game I’ve loved mostly due to energy levels and dealing with pains and bits of depression, the regret I have is I don’t even know if I’ll be around when Dragonflight goes live, No I’m not asking for a Beta invite I’ve given up on that, and not like I’d be that good at doing Beta stuff as my energy levels have bottomed out to a few hours of consciousness at a time I just want to say Thank you Blizzard from those in the mail room to the CEO for 16 years of fun. I hope World of Warcraft continues for a long time to come and I hope it can be the light in the darkness for others during their dark times.
I love this game and love it’s community, as it is getting harder for me to spend time on this game I love I want to say to everyone thank you and goodbye as this might be one of my last chances to get out these ideas onto page before I find myself with the inability to do such.
and lastly… thank you for the fishing (one of my favorite past times in WoW
Take care of yourself. I don’t know your condition or anything about your life, but please reach out to people around you and maybe even seek professional help. I’ve been there, and trust me, there is a way back to being happy and healthy. Good luck
Short of a Heart and kidney transplant my destiny is pretty set, I’m not upset about it I’ve gone through all of the stages of grief on this I’ve accepted it. I just wanted Blizzard and those I’ve interacted with over the last 16 years to know they meant something special to me and thank them for it. But Thank you Jibbles
the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it… White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
I hope you are greeted on that far shore by those you have long since been parted from, and you find peace and love there.
I’ve a few favorite zones actually, one of the ones I visit regularly though would be Hellfire Pen. I go there regularly to hunt down and kill the Fel Reaver, mostly because when I was playing during that time I had roomates who I could swear hear a pin drop across the place so I played without sound and the first time in that zone adventuring through the Fel Reaver would get me almost every time, so of course now going back is a form of catharsis in taking him out lol. Some of my more favorite memories is bringing in several friends who since most have moved onto other games but teaching them how to play the game and help them in leveling their characters, those are always favorite memories of mine, I love to share or try to share my various hobbies with others and love it when others take interest in them.
Ha ha, love the Fel Reaver vengeance! Ive done the same with Sons of Arugal in Silverpine. Even with your sound up, they may have snuck up on you. Very sneaky giant death tobots
If you’re gonna say something in a thread like this, try anything than the boiler plate “It get’s better somehow, magically. Get professional help.”
Op isn’t depressed, certain organs are freaking failing.
As for OP, I wish you the best and I hope your family has come together. Times like that are always hard. It may be a bit late or a dollar short, but take every chance you can now. Go full no regrets! Hopefully you’ll make a few more great memories.
One of my first and greatest memories is playing a troll hunter and seeing the alliance raid the barrens lol one hunter had some glyph or something that made his pet HUGE like as tall as a house, ever since then i was hooked always looking for secrets and cool items.
Anyways Thank you for sharing your story and being a part of this community (even if you’re horde lol)
I can only hope I face my end with such grace, dignity and appreciation for all the good things I’ve had in my life. May the next phase of your journey be miraculous.
I will continue to always stop and kill Murlocs in your honor as they were my very first nemesis in this game.
