The State of World of Warcraft

I've been reading the Hunter, Shaman, and General forums tonight...and also over the last several days; As people here know, I've been reading the Hunter and General for a while before that.

When I think about the condition of this game at the moment, though, and everything that's been happening recently...I've found a particular song starting to run through my head. The lyrics, on reflection, are uncannily appropriate; some are bolded for emphasis.

Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...


[REFRAIN]:

Suicide is painless,
It brings on many changes,
and I can take or leave it if I please.
I try to find a way to make
all our little joys relate
without that ever-present hate
but now I know that it's too late, and...


[REFRAIN]

The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say.

[REFRAIN]

The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
and to another give my seat
for that's the only painless feat.


[REFRAIN]

The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...


[REFRAIN]

A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
is it to be or not to be
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'

[REFRAIN]

'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
...and you can do the same thing if you please.
