Casual 726 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) Went down a Youtube rabbit hole at work the other day...the nostalgia and memories. What a great game. Unfortunately I really don't see how I can manage to play it in any way that would bring me satisfaction. The time requirement is just too much...I could probably see myself getting a good week or two in but just not gonna be a long term options. I might just casually level to 60 over time. Even that seems pretty daunting these days, then I think of things like: -Getting my epic mount -Getting a PvP rank over 10 -Getting exalted with any PvP faction -Attunements -Leveling up profesions -Raiding...even just if it's MC and BWL And all that just seems absolutely impossible. It was fine when I was in grade 10 (even if I regret investing so much time...I at least had the time), school was easy, I was fine running on 5 hours sleep, and was only working part time outside of the summers. Crazy thing is looking back, most of the people in my guild were probably at the point in their lives where I am now...I remember some of them even having kids and shit. How they justified raiding multiple nights a week (and this was a point in time where you had to actually do shit outside the raid in order to be able to raid...farming gold, mats, resist gear, etc). Anyone planning on playing even casually for the nostalgia? Edited May 6, 2019 by Casual Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hot Sauce 2,727 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I'm definitely going to give it a shot, but, as you said, I can't imagine having the time to really engage with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah. One thing at least is that the leveling process was absolutely amazing in Vanilla and that can really be done at whatever pace you want. It's not like the newer xpacs where leveling is just some bullshit you get over with quick before the real game begins. Going in knowing that I'll never be doing cutting edge raiding might even make the leveling more enjoyable and not just rushing to get to 60 ASAP. I remember when I first got into WoW I wasn't even thinking about raiding, took forever to get to 60 but had so much fun just doing random bullshit like ganking horde in Stonetalon (the guards at Sunrock were pushovers). Also kind of wondering how much time investment it will really take for things like MC and BWL. They took forever back then but that was a lot to do with learning the content and sucking at the game. I feel like you might actually be able to reasonably progress through those without much time investment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But it's still the only real relevant MMO even if it's not doing the earth shattering numbers it used to. Classic is a pretty smart move, there's a demand for it and it's not much difference than the recent HD remake trend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 After D2 I swore off these games, I messed around with Path of Exile (because D3 was bleh) and occasionally mess around with Borderlands, but I've never invested any serious time into them. The Total War series is my new crack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
