Derchlon's raiding days are numbered.

As many of you are aware, I am heading back to school in January.  I have known for a while now, that I will probably have to quit playing wow, or at the very least cut back or eliminate raiding.  I discussed this with Garreth about a month ago, and he suggested that I continue playing until that time came.

3.3 has launched.  Kitten Brigade is looking for solid and CONSISTENT raiders.  I have already decided that I won't be raiding come January, but I intended to raid until then.  With 3.3, I feel this may be the best time to take my leave.  I won't be sponging emblems or loot from the raid, and you can gear up someone who would be able to continue raiding when January comes around. 

I am not abandoning you all, I will still be around if there is no one to fill my shoes.  Know that my presense won't last for long, and that I will be gone with the passing of the new year, so make your decisions appropriately for the next few weeks.

After school is over, I should be ready to raid again but I don't expect a spot.

 

-------------------------------------

 

To Kwon and Minorthreat:  In regards to our 3s team, I will likely keep my account active.  Please note, that I would not be able to do arenas more than 3 hours total PER WEEK.  I'm trying to make sure I don't screw this school thing up, but I don't want to leave you in the lurch.  We totaly destroy folks, its fun, and isn't time consuming.  I hope 3 hours a week is enough for you, otherwise you might want to replace me here as well.

 

If any of you have questions, or you want clarification on something, feel free to ask me in game or on vent I don't mind repeating myself too many times.  :P

I'm glad to see you put your school first.  Until my last one (which was kinda easy), I turned off my account through my semesters at WSU and I feel it payed off in terms of grades.  I would suggest you do your entire first semester with (essentially?) zero gameplay to see how it goes and then add some in your second semester if you feel you can.


Going back to Pullman?

That's correct Dufe.  I'm

Derchlon — Wed, 12/09/2009 - 17:43

That's correct Dufe.  I'm heading back to Pullman.  Just in time for "Spring" semester.  Because we all know there is no such thing as Winter semester at WSU.  ha.

So you know for sure that you will be 100% unable to raid?

On the topic of January ability to raid

Derchlon — Wed, 12/09/2009 - 17:41

More like 99% unable to raid.  Once my financial aid package comes through, it will be 100%.

Right, but this is curiosity

Shihli — Wed, 12/09/2009 - 17:58

Right, but this is curiosity - what exactly is it that will prevent you from raiding?  Not trying to say you can't leave - if you can't raid you can't raid - but what is it that would eat up every conceivable hour of your life?

Derchlon's picture

First of all, I don't know

Derchlon — Wed, 12/09/2009 - 19:12

First of all, I don't know what my class schedule will be.  Even if I had the hours open to raid, I think my time would be better spent studying and working on various class work.  There is other stuff too, but ask in PM if you're that curious.  I don't just want to paste that here.

With Season 8 I probably won't have a 3s team any more(update as of 12/9/09).  So I see no convincing reason to pay the $15 a month to keep it active.  I'll probably just close my account temporarily.
