Taking a break.

So I made the decision reciently to take a break from World of Warcraft (WoW). Over time the game has lost it's excitment and it seems to have lost the luster it had for me even just a couple months ago. I am hoping that I feel this way because I have been having to lead a guild for so long and I just need a break from it. I anticipate returning to WoW after a couple months to see how I feel as I log on. If I am feeling like I "have" to be doing guild business then I may just have to let the game go. I want to be able to log on and have a good time. Right now, I do not feel like I can do that.
Those who were in Jagged Edge understand what a great place it was to be. There is not a day that goes by still that I do not wish there could have been a way to retain Jagged Edge as a guild as I was rebalancing my life. In the end I knew it was unfair to the members of Jagged Edge to have a guild leader who could only give half of what they really deserved as a group. I also knew that my wife and family needed more of me, and with fewer family members playing I saw the game from being a place to get together to a place that I seperated myself. Games are fun, but I did not want to put a game before my family.
Looking back I do not regret much of the time I spent on the game. It was a great experience and I learned so much about myself as a leader and person in general. I may not have made all the right desisions, but I know that every person in the guild knew were I stood on issues and Jagged Edge as a guild was well known on the Silvermoon server. I am grateful to have been a force for good and to cultivate and solidify a place that players felt safe and enjoyed logging on.
For now at least, this is Nehor signing off, and Chris signing on. :)
