The holidays are here and that usually means one thing for guilds in WoW, low attendance. Students are headed home from college for the week and working stiffs get a couple of days off to enjoy the holidays with their family. This equates to low turnouts for guild activities and a general lull that can wash over WoW throughout the holiday season.

What should you do? As much as it pains me to say it, the holidays are a great time to pick up another game. There are tons of great PC and console games out for the holiday season that can help pass the time until holiday schedules calm down. My personal recommendations: Dragon Age Origins and Torchlight.

If you plan on staying in WoW during the holidays, my advice is to write up a list of all the things you want to do in game but never seem to have the time for. Fishing, reputation grinds and achievement farming are just a handful of WOW activities that don’t require group play. Personally, I plan on leveling my Paladin up to 80 with the help of some flashy heirloom gear. If you have a handful of friends on, try jumping into some battlegrounds (I used to be a part of a three man Rogue wrecking crew, very fun).
Most important of all, take some time to hang out with RL friends and family. For me, WoW is often the most fun when I’ve taken a little time away from it.
