So when I play WoW, I play with a regular group of people called a Guild. I've managed to find a great guild, with lots of people kinda like me, have young kids, or other obligations during the day. We only raid 2 nights a week, and it's after the kids are in bed.
Lately, we've been having some issues defining ourselves. There used to be a time when I could devote hours every day to a game, and I was easily 'hardcore'. Most of the guild feels this way. Lately though, it's harder and harder to play for long stretches.. and I guess it's just sortof weird to accept 'casual' status. As though it's admitting defeat or something.
In a way, getting older is like that. It's weird to admit I'm actually 30, as though that were admitting defeat. At the same time, the things I liked when I was younger aren't as interesting to me now. I don't like staying up past midnight watching TV all night anymore, I'd prefer getting up rested at 6 or 7 am and enjoying the cool morning air.
I guess I'm getting Casual in life too... and I think it's a good thing.
