You’re probably reading the title going “wtf is he talking about” Well to cut a long story short I’ve decided that trying to raid on Khaz Modan isn’t working for me at the moment so I’m transferring her to an Oceanic server.

 

Let me explain further:

 

Currently I don’t get to raid with the guild on weeknights, unless by some strange coincidence I get home & someone has to leave a 10man naxx run but essentially weeknight raiding doesn’t exist. Then comes Saturday & Sunday morning, I wake up around 7am, spend time with my daughter, wait till Sparkles wakes up (pregnant girls gotta have their rest J ), we spend some time together then I get ready for the standard 25man starting at 1:30pm. We raid for 4hrs or so, I take a break to get dinner organised, put our daughter to bed then log back in to find most ppl have gone & then wander aimlessly trying to find something to do like pug a naxx run, pvp, heroics or some festival achievement thing (if there’s currently one on). So basically the best part of the afternoons are taken up with playing a computer game & not spending time watching my daughter grow up or doing things around the house like I want to.

 

So what are my options?

• Give up playing – extreme move & not something I want to consider...
• Spend less time playing on weekends – means I don’t get to raid due to raid group being full when I do log on, if at all.
• Do things around the house – see previous point.
• Transfer to an Oceanic server where I can raid on weeknights and have my weekends free to spend time with the people I love the most.

 

Am I sad, hell yes. Shadow Warlords feels like a home & I’ve been in this guild long enough to get to know most people really well so it’s not an easy decision to make at all. I wish there was another option that allowed me to stay on Khaz and raid with all of you but an Aussie trying to work within US time zones will only work for so long..

 

Contrary to what some of you may think, when I left the guild a few months back it wasn’t to join the guild that Sparkles was in, it wasn’t to shit on Shadow Warlords, it was to take a break from a game that I felt was taking up too much of my time. Being in the guild was too much of a temptation to waste away my time and that’s pretty much how I feel again now.

 

So where does this leave my other toons..? Well I’m hoping that you can see my reasoning & understand why I’ve made this decision and will keep my other toons in the guild if only as social members. If not then I’ll understand why..

 

To everyone in the guild I would like to say thankyou for having me along for the ride. I have seen more in this guild in the time I've been here than any other guild I've been in. I’ve been proud to wear the Shadow Warlord name over my head & wish you all the very best of luck in the future.

 

Take Care,

 

Josima

Good luck Jos, best wishes to you

See ya buddy, good luck with everything, and keep in touch.

good luck with what you do and have some fun where your going :)
i hope you will keep in touch and say hello every once and a while

Josima.  If you keep the name, cool... we'll track your ass down and embarrass you.  Keep in touch and let us know which realm you end up in.

Good luck Josima, thanks for being in our guild (and here's hoping we will run into one another again - I can always use the gear advice.)

I'm on Nagrand, same name so shouldn't be hard to find :)

 

Thankyou all for your kind words

I just want to say good luck in everything you do Jos, It's completely understandable your reasons for transfering. I do hope you stay in touch though :) I also wanted to add I personally appreciate your candor in giving everyone your reasons for leaving, it's alot more than most do, and I hope that you can find a guild on Nagrand that's somewhat close to us :D
