Cancelled, but not forgotten

I cancelled my WAR account yesterday. No, it’s not that I don’t enjoy the game. I’m just finding I haven’t got the time to play it these days. In fact, I haven’t played much of anything on the PC, just the odd Xbox 360 (often Arcade) game to kill time.

Sadly, my account had just auto-renewed for six months a couple weeks into April, so I’m stuck with a semi-inactive account until October. So there are good odds that I’ll be back in the game, off-and-on, until then. I might even go and try out the new Land of the Dead zone once it’s released to the general public.

I’m not sure what’s worse; the fact that I still enjoy WAR and can’t find the time to play it, or the fact that I’m just plain afraid of the enormous time commitment that any good MMORPG entails. I’m sure a little bit of it is that the current crop of MMOs really aren’t cutting it for me, either, but I used to be able to play for hours on end many times a week. Now, I’m lucky if I can scrounge together an hour or two on a weekend to sit down and play without feeling guilty for not doing something productive instead. Responsibility is the bane of my existence… and hell, I’m not even all that responsible. :)

In any case, what I’m getting at here is that I’m not going to be blogging here quite so regularly anymore (quite obviously, if you look at my last month and a half’s worth of posts.) I’m probably going to put the main reroller site on hold (again) as I put the finishing touches on a bunch of major new additions to Protagonize. I also have another site in development that I want to have up and running sometime this summer, or more likely early in the fall. Once the dust has settled on all of that, I’ll probably start gaming (and blogging about gaming) again in earnest.

Until then, I really have to buckle down and focus on one or two projects at a time to get anything done. In order to do that, I know that at least one of my projects needs to take a back seat, and the unfortunate victim is this blog (and the main site to come later.) I’ll still write off-and-on, but I don’t want you to get your hopes up.

Cheers, and thanks for putting up with my sporadic posts for the last couple of months. Sometimes life dictates where you need to spend your time, so I’m trying to get everything organized and follow life’s (hopefully sage) advice.
