Goodbye, Cruel World of Warcraft

Warcraft has its fans lots around the world until now. But The Lonely Hunter said good bye for too much demanding.

Dear World of Warcraft,

Ever since I began my humble life as noob, I have loved you. Your dazzling graphics, adventurous quests, and engaging gameplay made me swoon. For the last two years I could have nothing but you.

I was not alone. Your seductive wiles attracted millions of other suitors. I didn't mind. I could share you. There's been a buzz about you for a long time. In fact, the recent surge (+188%) that pushed you into the top 200 searches helped me to admit something I've known for months.

World of Warcraft, I'm leaving you. After two years of fun and games, I finally reached the pinnacle of my love: level 60. And though I searched my heart, and the Internet, for reasons to stay with you -- your addons, your cameo on "South Park," your gold -- it's over between us.

You are too demanding, my little WoW. Too much time. Too much money. Too much getting "pwned" by your jealous lovers. I don't care that you're a popular search query. And I don't care that a new, exciting version of you is coming out in 2007. A Burning Crusade can't rekindle my love. A software patch won't heal my heart.

Goodbye, cruel World of Warcraft. Goodbye.
Love,
The Lonely Hunter.
