How to Find Yourself in a Video

Well, I guess Nixxiom has been paying attention to my WoW playing habits.


Hoo boy.

I think I'm an amalgam of a few of the types listed, but I am not the "Blizzard Hater". If anything, I'm more of a Bobby Kotick hater than a Blizzard hater. 

Still, that did get me to thinking. How much is my current playstyle influenced by my health concerns, and how much was a reaction to my MMO experiences over the past 16+ years? I think that it's a mix of both, but as time has gone on and my health scare recedes into the past, that has less of an impact than the weight of experience. I don't think I'll go completely solo in MMOs anymore, because I apparently like casual conversation too much*, but I can see myself trending more and more in that direction. I did find my solo experiences throughout many MMOs immensely satisfying, and there's no shaking that. Casual conversation aside, dealing with the unknowns of grouping up has shown to be more problematic than I care to admit. I still try to do group content, but I know there will eventually come a day when I'll simply give up and go solo on everything. 

But I'm not there yet. 




*Which is really weird given that I'm an introvert, but that's what it is.
