All I ask if you give people who have chosen another ‘wife’ the same respect.

There is a cross-dressing rogue out there who feels the same way about me (and I love him for it)–and now I am inpsired, and perhaps can write an honest post about some things that have been simmering for a bit.

It’s nice to see someone else playing with this passion, sometimes I think I’m weird and settling for WoW. I’ve actually just rolled a druid for tanking and am leveling him with my wife, who fortunatley decided to return to WoW finally… Anyhow, glad I came to your site, druids have always had an awesome community and I’m looking forward to perusing and learning more from y’all!

[...] BBB wrote an excellent post defending his ongoing love of WoW against those people who seem to not just be burnt out on WoW, but feel the need to be aggressive [...]

Interesting post. I sometimes write with a passion…but later I realize that the passion was partly to help convince myself of something.

Thank you for this post.

My son keeps asking me why I still play WoW and I could never figure out the “why” to give him a good enough answer. Sure, I’ve tried a couple of other games with him but always ended up thanking him for letting me try them out and went back to WoW. My son gave up WoW quite awhile ago and keeps asking why I’m not bored with it yet. Just like someone mentioned earlier, the only response I could think to give was I wasn’t done yet (too many more things to do).

Now I can read this post to my son and tell him, “This is why I still play WoW”.

OMG – you are both sleeping with my WoW! I was wondering about that course bear-looking fur stuck to her coat. So sister-wives, I guess we’ll all be here at the end, huh?

I think I might understand why some people are mean about people who are still in love with WoW.

Some of us who have fallen out of love miss the relationship dreadfully. I know I do. I read this blog, and watch all Lore’s WoW videos, and look items up on Wowhead, and use WoW analogies in conversation… But I can’t log in anymore, because being around the MMO I used to have such a wonderful relationship with just hurts.

Some people react to pain with bitterness. Not only do they envy you your close and ongoing relationship (as I do) but they’re -jealous- as well. Because they are unhappy, they can’t stand to think anyone else can be happy.

I’m very sad for me that WoW and I aren’t in love anymore. But I’m sadder for those poor people who can’t just accept that the end of a long term relationship hurts, and take that pain like a Tauren, but have to spitefully attempt to make everyone else as miserable as they are.

Thanks for listening.
