abschied von azeroth

well, i decided it’s time to say goodbye to azeroth for the time being. World of Warcraft is scheduled to be released this friday (february 11). so i stopped playing the beta because all servers are going to be wiped anyway and i do not want to invest more time into my chars. however, i have not made up my mind if and when i am going to get the retail and play it “for real”. it is one of the best MMORPGs out there, no doubt about that. but i still have to finish my phd and i have no idea when i can actually take the final exam. it all depends on my supervisor and her busy timetable… talk about getting one’s priorities straight.
