Homecoming

I just couldn't stay away.  It's not the game that pulled me back.  It's the people.  At its core, World of Warcraft is a social experience and even though there are maybe 2-3 people in the entire guild I've met in real life, they are my family in very many ways.

I still stand by my decision to leave the game altogether.  I had to focus on me and my goals.  The fact is, I've achieved them.  All but one was in my grasp.  And who did I have to cheer me on and give me a collective grats? No one really.  Those that cheered on my victories in-game and real life, were no longer around.  It was truly sad.  I was really alone.

My greatest regret in leaving and the biggest pull back into the game was to be with my boys: Peter "Rthurian" Salathe and Patrick "Airielle" Dennen.  The 3 of us are spread across the nation, but in game, we've always been this "Triforce of Power" so to speak.  Feels so good to be reunited with them.

So, now I'm back.  I still need to limit my time in-game as much as I can, but it feels right being among these people.  It genuinely feels like home in all the ways that matter.
