WoW was colossal. It shaped an entire generation I was part of; the socialization, camaraderie, ventrillo and teamspeak chats, friends all over the world. I can’t really imagine myself without it.

I remember one New Year’s Eve in Goldshire. It still is honestly one of my favorite NYE. Getting drunk on voice chat, throwing fireworks, having engineers build all sorts of weird contraptions, some steamy chat with probably a balding dude playing a Night Elf chick.

I still play every expansion. I make a new character and level it to max. But it takes ages and I usually solo and when I hit max I mostly stop. It’s a little guilty pleasure.

I like to believe this is what kids today get with Fortnite and whatchamadoodle.

I remember in Anarchy online my friend 'married' a 'woman' in Omni-One and I attended his wedding, he they exchanged in game rings and all and he bought 'her' a hover car

An under appreciated aspect of WFH is that we just replaced TeamSpeak with Slack, raids with outages and releases, and quests with tickets.

Maybe we’re already playing the next game.
