Despite my jubilant 200th post so close and the hopeful feelings I had, apparently it was the last gasping breath and despite loving my blog, and loving my guildies, I ain’t loving WoW any more. It’s been coming a long time now, but with some bad health problems lately as well as the fact we’re going to be moving and a whole host of other small things, I’ve decided to cancel my subscription.
Since I can’t really write about WoW without playing it, that means the blog is going to go into hibernation – so for those who like to keep a well-updated list you can go ahead and remove /hug.
At the moment, I’m considering it an ‘extended hiatus’ from WoW until things have gotten sorted out and to see if I don’t go stir-crazy without it there to fill up the dull moments, so there may be light at the end of the tunnel but it’s a long and dark one.
Thanks to all who’ve read and commented, given support and helped me gain confidence and enjoyment in my writing. For those who don’t know me personally, I’ll likely drop off the radar as I’ve very much kept my online personal and wow things relatively separate, and I want to remove myself from sources of temptation (too much wow on twitter, for example…) but if you do want to keep up, I’ll still be answering emails coming to aurik at slashhug dot net.
I’m terrible at goodbyes so I’ll leave it with a:

So long, and thanks for all the fish. You’ve always been an entertaining and insightful blogger. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
Even though I’ve only ever “seen” you on the PTR and via a few comments on each other’s blogs, I would still call you friend. I hope your health improves, the move goes well and the other small things don’t turn into big ones.
BIG HUGS back, Seph xxx
Aww, you know I’m always aroond, so not getting rid of me! Bwahahaaaa. ;)
I understand where you’re at man. We’ll all be here when you get back. In the meantime I’m still going to poke you on twitter =D
and email (since i somehow missed the dropping from twitter line >.<)
/hug Bye Aurik, I’ve enjoyed reading your blog and your lovely screenies.
/kiss
Thanks for your blog.
Wow. I didn’t see that coming at all. I quit once myself, long ago. I kept reading the blogs, patch notes, forums. I couldn’t get it out of my head. And here I am playing again. I hope we’ll see you back, my friend.
/hug
Thanks for all the wonderful posts … good luck with the move and get well.
If you do go back to WoW however you must promise to write ;) Hope to hear more from you!
Pfft, yer still staying on the RSS feeds for the day you eventually return! (And ye shall.) Thanks for the cheery posts. I haven’t commented on many of yer posts, but I do read ‘em when they pop up. I keep my RL and WoW separate, too. I don’t even talk about the game to my family because there just isn’t any way to tell them that I can’t come to a family dinner because I’m killing an imaginary dragon or giant on the computer, hah. I say I have plans with friends instead, which is *technically* true. Hope your move goes well and stay in good health, aye?

In the words of one of my favourite things of all time.

Oh no…
It makes me sad. I don’t know what to say. Damn it. Most of all: I hope you’ll get well. I really do. And then: thanks for everything. You were one of the first blogs I read and you were one of my very first commenters. I don’t know if I’d be blogging in English if it wasn’t for your support.
I hate farewells like this.
I guess I’ll stick to the emote.

Aw Aurik! Your blog has always had the most beautiful pics. It’ll be missed.
Best of luck with everything.
Aurik!!! Thank you for all your posts. I wish you well.
I’ll miss you Aurik. You were a wonderful support when I started blogging. I hope your health issues resolve themselves favorably and that your new home is wonderful!
You know we’ll all miss you Aurik, but I’m glad you’re doing what you feel is best for yourself.
As you continue on, know that you’ve touched a lot of people (and in a good way) and been a joy to read and follow.
Take care, good luck, best wishes, good health (I hope, I hope, I hope), and may peaceful times and happiness hold you close in thier arms.

Seems to be something going around, eh? We’ll miss having you around, Aurik, but it is all about the fun, right? So get your focus back, spend some time with other things, and remember WoW is nothing but a bunch of ones and zeroes. Take care.

I’ve enjoyed reading your blog for awhile, and it will be sad to see you go. Maybe we’ll see you return in a few months. Best of luck to you.

A true shame to see you go. This was one of my very favorite blogs.
Good luck to you, though. And I truly hope and pray that you will feel better soon.
I don’t think I’ve ever commented, but I’ve read your blog for quite a while, and I’m sad to see you go. Your my go-to person for almost all of the holiday achievements.
I’ll miss your writings, so if you ever want to come back, I’ll probably be camped out here for a bit :D

Best of luck mate.
I hope all goes well for you. Thanks for writing for so long :-) /hug /wave
Well good luck mate. Always remember you do not quit WoW it quits you. When it wants you back you will come back : )
I always take 3-4 month breaks and the pull is always too strong. See you in a few months ^_-
