Back on Azeroth (again)

I finally reinstalled WoW after a long break. This is mostly a brain dump about addons, pacing, and why MMOs still feel like a weird second desk job.

I told myself I was done after the last expansion burnout. Then a friend pinged me about leveling alts “casually,” which is how every relapse starts.

I am running a pretty light UI this time: big nameplates, minimal raid frames, and I deleted half my weakauras before they could rot. The goal is to play like a human, not like I am piloting a spaceship.

If I stick with it, I will probably write a longer post about tanking again. For now I am enjoying the dumb simplicity of questing with music turned up.

Visitor comments are planned for a future release. They will run on my own server (Cerb), not a third-party comment host.
