I basically lived in Azeroth and Draenor (Outland really) for 3 years. It helped me to survive what was going on in my life at the time. I loved the game, though it got lonely for me. A couple of friends of mine had me leave Earthen Ring and join their realm where I could play with them. Then they dropped out and I was just left there. It wasn't a very friendly or popular realm, Misha, so I finally got bored and stopped all together. Haven't been back.
I liked the RP servers anyway. I miss my Night Elf Huntard and my Blood Elf Warlock, but...so it goes.
Tried SWTOR, but it didn't really grab me and that was weird because I'm a Star Wars nut from way back. GA has replaced that for me. I can let my creativity flow here. Its more satisfying. Its all about me, of course.
