World of Warcraft General Guides - Boredom Waiting on Cataclysm Guides
Take a look around and I am sure that you will see the signs that the game is slowing down. My server has traditionally been insanely busy, with raids like ICC pugable the week each wing was released, constant TOC and TOGC GDKP runs going, and more. Now it takes forever to get a group, pretty much everyone will now be clearing ICC with the 15% buff and prices in TOC GDKP runs make them entirely useless as a way to get gold.
Another great thing to do to stay active in the game is to participate in Wintergrasp, Battlegrounds and Arenas! Play around with something new. If you’re not a big PvP player, maybe now is the time to check it out, get into an arena team and play for a while. I know that traditionally I do not do BG’s or Arenas all that often, but when the end of a cycle comes around I always enjoy getting into the Arena and busting a few heads. It is a completely different skill set and is a break from the regular game. The reverse could be true for hardcore PvP players, maybe it is your time to try out raids.
Lastly, it may be time to look for a new guild or set your guild up for Cataclysm, whichever you think is best for you. I prefer sticking with a guild, but if you are going to change, doing so before Cataclysm will give you a chance to experience levelling with the guild and getting to know everyone. If you are sticking with your guild, it may be time to recruit to fill spots or just to bulk up for levelling in Cataclysm.
