    nearly 20 years ago, when WoW was just about to launch, my friends and I had been looking for an MMO to get into that would be interesting, fun, and have pvp. and I distinctly remember the vibe being cautiously optimistic with"well, Blizzard is great. I bet they’re going to do a great job."

    and they did. it was visually stunning, had lots to explore, very polished experience and it engaged us all for years.

    it’s hard to reconcile those days with today, where if somebody told me blizzard was making some new major game, my first impulse would be to shrug and wonder why anyone still cared.

        I dont get it either, because I hated vanilla even though i played it for…too long…BUT it’s basically a completely different game from the modern WoW. If you want you can imagine it’s people wanting to go play Master of Orion 1, after not liking Master of Orion 3. emilie-shrug

            MOO2 was really good, I played it for the first time 5 years ago or so and it’s basically deeper than almost all modern 4x space games, with bad UI and the space combat becomes really tiring when you have large fleets but still

            why did they have to re-invent the wheel and remove all the spokes?? negative

                about how funny it was to kill off all the “furry” alien races off-camera before the game’s start.

                ah a G#mer

            yeah. some years after beginning to phase out old sets and have a current playable season of cards, they added a mode literally called Classic Hearthstone… and sold packs for it presumably making millions. game is hardly 10 years old lol

        My first experience with WoW was Wrath of the Lich King, and WoW Classic was the most fun I’ve ever had with the game. Granted I was also medicated for ADHD for the first time in my life but still
