The magic of my first character is still barely palpable. I've come to accept that 'barely' is better than nothing. Now, the blank areas on maps that are uncovered do not tend to ignite a spark of excitement... there is no struggling with new quests, no new recipes, items, and so on.
Of course, there is new content with which I am unfamiliar. It just doesn't seem all that exciting. I miss the old world. Perhaps it's some kind of postpartum depression. If I had my way, we'd all revert back to being capped at sixty; we'd struggle through Molten Core and Blackwing Lair all day, every day... for months on end. And it would be both satisfying and exciting. Sure, we'd wonder about something more... but we'd shake our heads and tell ourselves that we have everything we need right here.
I've managed to satiate my own listlessness by playing the opposite faction - something I neglected to do before. I was one of those who had one main character (you know - sans unending list of alts) to whom I devoted all of my playing time. Playing the opposing faction is almost like starting anew... almost.
With the continual promise of expanding world and new content, I find myself in a bit of despair - I can't keep up with the old new content (i.e. Burning Crusade). Can it ever be how it once was again? I just want to be stuck at improving after being capped.
