Taking a break

Probably not the forum for this, but this is the one I'm most active in.

My account runs out of paid time sometime tomorrow, and I won't be reupping for a while. This is not a "this game sucks and I'm leaving!!!" post. I still love the game, but several factors have crept up on me that I can't ignore any longer.

In game, my SG is all but gone. Some have left for RL reasons, some have left for other games, some still play, but not during the hours that I can. My hubby has lost all interest in the game, and while I still want to play, soloing gets boring for me in fairly short order, and having me on a PUG team would be unkind to the team - I have RL responsibilities that can make me extremely unavailable at a moment's notice. Plus I've been here 5 years. I'm not really interested in wading through the AE, and there's precious little official content that I havn't seen.

And then there's the RL reasons. I was working part time - I just got laid off. It's summer time and there's a lot of yard work that needs doing, including my new veggie garden, that I completely underestimated the time involved in. Plus, my Halloween wedding is fast approaching and it has been eating a lot of my free time. It's utterly amazing how much you can get bogged down in the minutia of planning one day.

If I have to scratch the gaming itch, I have my lifetime sub to LOTRO. It's not COH, it'll never be COH, but my hubby plays it and we have some duo characters there that are fun. And once the furor is over, the veggies harvested and canned, and the thank you cards are all sent out, I imagine I'll be back and looking for a new SG, ready to try out some of the new stuff that I see is coming.

Good luck, good gaming to you all, and I'll likely see you all again.

Awww, well don't forget to keep us appraised and *get us pictures* for stuff you've got planned. I know I don't know you in real life but all the costumery and your adorable minimage ... I can't see the forums without that

Sounds like you have a very full plate, LM.

But I think some of us still want to see wedding pics, so maybe you will be back before then or maybe you can send them to be posted.

Good luck! Come back to us when you can!

Enjoy your time off, your time in the garden, and your time in LOTRO And ditto on the pictures request!

We'll miss you, but enjoy your time off.

If you haven't yet, give RO a try.

We are very understanding of people with "AFK <EMERGENCY HERE>" macros too

Awwww. Hurry back, Lady! Teach babymage to play, then you won't have to solo! >.>

See my Guides and Tutorials

Take care and we'll see you again soon.

Have a good one. You'll always be welcome here.

Have fun on LOTRO, I loved my one month free trial. We'll keep the light on for you.

Enjoy your break LadyMage.

Once you've had your wonderful wedding, caught up on the housework, harvested the garden, canned the LOTRO and are ready to return, you'll find what you're looking for here.

Bye Bye LM! Please come back soon.

Good luck and come back soon. i have a few friends i occasionally team with who have kids running about, and they're constantly having to go AFK for brief, and sometimes longer, periods, so i know how that is. There are a lot of understanding people here on the forums and in game, so when you come back i'm sure there will be plenty of people willing to team with you regardless.

Go. Garden. Enjoy veggies.

Have fun on LotRO - my husband plays there when he needs a break from COH. And hope to see you back soon!

Stay Safe, and enjoy the wedding if you dont pop back in before then.

When you get back, think about coming over to Fusion Force, we would love to have you.

I would like to add my hurry back well miss you to the rest of them.

Good luck, and we'll catch you later. Watch out for bees.

LM you have always been a class act here on the boards and hopefully we will see you again soon (TM). Until that time, take care and have fun.
