My pillow currently is full of tears from my queue queue from Rift. I know I should tough it out, but other factors have also weighed in on my decision. I will no longer be playing Guardian on Briarcliff with my old Warhammer Online buddies. I have switched back to Defiant on Ashstone with no one I know.
I know originally this was my plan to roll solo. I had this crazy idea to join my old Warhammer buddies, and it just wasn't the same. I felt like an outsider, and most didn't even remember me. I have to say that part hurt the most. I guess that is what happens when I didn't follow them to World of Warcraft. I also felt like I was playing solo anyways. They were leveling up together, and doing Warfronts while I was lagging behind having to pug it.
I am not going to sugarcoat it. It was the worst twelve hours of Rift. I feel so much better on Defiant. The comfort of knowing everything from quests, to locations, to npc's makes a huge difference. Although I am questing alone I don't feel the pressure of fitting back in with my old guild buddies. I am not sure I would have either. I felt like I was also lied too. Most of the guild is staying in Warcraft, and only about fifteen made the jump to Rift. I just don't see them staying anyways, and I may as well not get hurt later.
I also feel a huge stress release from the stupid queue situation on Briarcliff. It was controlling my decisions on playing. It was to the point I wanted to take some breaks, eat, shower, or whatever, but with a six hour queue looming over my head I just kept playing. It is just plain stupid to change your life for a queue. This morning I woke up at 3am just to get in the queue so I could play this morning when I actually felt like getting up. Both times I ended up being disconnected, and seeing even longer queues. It was time to move on.
I hope to see some of you in Black Garden later today. If you see my Ranger/Marksman/Assassin her name is Plixy, and please refrain from killing me. I am still trying to recover from yesterday, and I really don't need to queue queue in my pillow over Rift tonight.
