I feel like I have to keep testing Warlords of Draenor in part out of remembrance for River, and him being so damned excited to have gotten into the alpha process. Mostly I think I need to drop some of the games that feel similar to me from the rotation, or at least games that scratch the same itch. While I embrace the whole polygamerous thing, I think even for me this is a bit too much especially when you throw in League of Legends and Heroes of the Storm on top of those… and occasionally some Hex and Hearthstone.
Over the last two months I’ve played Warlords of Draenor, Rift, ArcheAge, Wildstar, Star Wars the Old Republic, Elder Scrolls Online, Defiance, Everquest II, Landmark, The Secret World, Diablo 3, Lego Minifigures Online and Trove. Right now I have come to realize that I am playing entirely too many MMOs to feel like I am making any significant progress in any of them. A few of the “newbies” are among the most prolific posters in my blog reader, and I am amped to still see them enjoying the whole experience. However this group either is blissfully oblivious to the existence of blog statistics, or they really are writing for themselves, because they seem to still be going strong. When the spotlight fades a bit, it is rough to keep posting when you inevitably notice fewer people are reading. Generally speaking there is a significant drop off the month after the initiative as folks take a massive breather after having survived being the focus of so many folks attention. This is not a slight in any way to the previous NBI groups, but I have been really impressed with just how tenacious the Class of 2014 has been. Unfortunately we are well based the NBI 2014 initiative, otherwise I would spin this into some sort of an inspirational post about struggling through. It might not be epic and exciting, but it is staying true to the mission as a whole.
It is mornings like this that I feel outline the importance of just allowing yourself to write whatever happens to pop into your head. Unfortunately when my biggest source of inspiration is gone, I can get a little bit of writers block. When I am sick like I was yesterday, I tend to turtle and pull my head up inside my shell, disconnecting me from the interwebs and all of you fine people. One of the biggest challenges about this whole “blog every day” concept is that some mornings there is just nothing at all in my head to talk about.
