With an unfortunate turn in their quest to reclaim Honorfall, the remnants of the Vol’kar turn to unsavory tactics in order to do what must be done. No, no amount of blight or grey morality will help them win in their struggle against the Scourge, but instead, daemonic entities under the control of an old friend. The future is bleak. There is no doubt. If this proves successful, what is their next step?
On the OOC side, there isn’t anything I or other people can say that hasn’t already been said. Many have unsubbed, some tentatively, many permanently. The pool of players grows smaller by the hour. Many of us are turning towards other games to help ease the pain of the recent months’ news and bombshells. Many are betrayed, and rightfully so, by the taint that cannot be unseen, unheard, or undone(myself included). The plainest statement I offer is that the game and company both may one day return to what it was a long time ago. We are tired. Personally, I feel as if I am apart of a one-sided relationship. I try my hardest to be motivated and to motivate others, to try and help coax more love from my favorite game- just being rejected, or prevented, or stonewalled, or every other facet.
This isn’t to say that I’m giving up. There are others still in the guild that wish to push on and try to ‘rise from the ashes’. We have not had any sort of routine roleplay or weekly events in months. Even our raid team, which always draws most of our non-roleplaying-friends, is on life support. I’m not entirely sure where I am going with this semi-rambling stream of conscience. I’m just being plain-faced and honest in this post.
Maybe soon there will be a huge burst of inspiration. Maybe not. Maybe we’re damned to be dormant like others. For what it’s worth, I have loved my time meeting and interacting with so many of you over the years. I love our community and the world of Azeroth. It does not belong to anybody or thing but the players.
For now, you will likely see some of us at the guild drive on the 29th. Right now, doesn’t even matter if you want to roleplay. If you want to raid or PvP in a casual environment safe from elitism and bigotry, give us a holler. If you see me or anybody else out in the wild, don’t hesitate to pull us aside and just start chatting. RP? OOC? Doesn’t matter. I hope you have a wonderful day.
. Guaranteed AoTC, chill, casual environment. RP not required to raid.
