A break certainly can do a world of good.
The funny thing is that the majority of the time I was gone, I really wanted to be playing WoW.
Getting back to my roots of a First Person Shoot (FPS) was interesting. Prior to playing WoW I played Battlefield 2142, Planetside, Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142, all FPS games. Not to toot my own horn, but I don't think I was half bad at them either.
But I am back. I may be playing my Paladin, Agravane, more often than Bzak, but Bzak is back for raiding with Team Whiskers starting next week.
