Well, I’ve rejoined WoW. Wrath of the Lich King is coming soon, and various other factors prompted me to reinstall and get back into the game.

I can still find the game very fun when I stay away from the lure of gear, (through gold and rep grinding). The “fast” money from doing daily quests is very addicting, and I have logged in a couple of times over the week just to make a quick 100 gold (in 1.5 hours). But I’ve taken time twice last week to spend a couple of hours with a new character — a tauren shaman — just slowly accepting and completing individual quests for the story enjoyment.

Following a story and role playing a character is the fun I now find in WoW. This is a main reason why I’m looking forward to the release of the Lich King expansion. I want to see and explore the new lands, take on the new quests, and even play a new character (a death knight).

I just really love exploring exotic places, meeting strange creatures, and killing them and taking their treasure. Here’s hoping the expansion will give me this activity enough to keep the game fun without grinding.
