After much thought and consideration during my leave of absence from
WoW, I will not be returning to the game. I have ended my subscription today (though I'm paid up for another week or two).
I am genuinely saddened over the loss of the fellowship and friendships that are connected to the game, but I'm hopeful of retaining contact with you through whatever means of communication is possible.
I wish you all good hunting and good fortune in your successful run through the Burning Crusade content...and I'll be looking forward to good reports on your discoveries and progress in WotLK when it's released.
For those that may be interested, I'm not leaving
WoW to invest my time in another game. And, if you didn't know, I've also terminated my AoC subscription. For the time being, I'm figuring out what to do with all the "extra" time I have on my hands.
