So, after playing WoW since day one of release and getting 2 toons to 70 and 4 others to 60 i have decided that my golf game needs more improving than my WoW game. Before WoW i had a 5 handicap. I went out and played last weekend even knowing i was gonna miss my guilds Kara raid and shot a 90. I think it was on the 16th hole as i was putting for double bogey looking around at this beautiful golf course that it finally came to me. I am a WoW addict. Had i been 25 years younger the video in the other post most definately could have been me. So after i sank my 15 foot put for double bogey (good save lol) i decided i had had enough of WoW.

It was hard at first coming home scratching my delicate cave skin from getting to much sun on the course, but as i walked past my computer not trying to even look at it, i heard that evil in your brain voice from lord of the rings....my precious....oh my precious. So before i even took a shower and put away my clubs i sat down at my computer and fought an epic battle in my head with the demons of my past giving me every reason in the world why i shouldnt cancel mine and my girlfriends accounts. I mean how sweet was is to power lvl all my alts with my 70 pally shadowboxing on two computers all the instances up to Mara getting all the phat loots i had lost so many times before going in with groups. It was my precious *shakes head* Just do it man!

And thats what i did. My girlfriend sat in awe on the couch almost biting her nails saying "are you seriously gonna do this?" I wanted to tell her that the ring must be destroyed because its hold over me would cause me to do terrible things later on, like not help clean the house, not take out the trash, make her do my laundry, loose some more sleep, get grumpy and take it out on her, then bitch when i have to do something with her that i dont wanna do because i would rather be fondling my ring. But it came out more like yeah im gonna do it, it will be better for the both of us in the long run.

There was only one moment where i almost stopped and if anyone has cancelled a WoW account before, on the last screen right under the button to confirm, there is a male human priest in purple and blue doing the pleading emote. I sat and stared at that little guy for a couple of seconds and in that time 3 years of what i had accomplished in the game flashed before my eyes, then i asked myself "who important to me in my life has even noticed" and i clicked the confirm button.

So now its time to get my golf game back to where it was, and my skin back to where i could handle a full days worth of sun and turn brown instead of red. Ill see some of you all in Eve Online, a true MMO made for the working man going to school full time.
