Anyone that ditched WoW back in 2007 or so, or any other long running MMORPG for 8+ years, and never looked at it again can experience something very close to that by just logging back in.

Woof, no thank you. WOW consumed so much of my time back in those days. I can still look back on it all with fondness. The couple of times I have peeked behind the curtain since then have only made me sad.

Me too. I’m in no position to play that game now, which kind of breaks my heart. I’ve got some really really rare mounts on there.

The best part for me was playing PvP with my son. He’s 25 now. During Cata we were an unstoppable arena force.

He got a gaming laptop and I got a Steam deck. We were talking about jumping on a Cata private server recently.

Both of us are so busy that it’s unlikely to happen.

I’d give anything to go back and have him beside me in that old living room playing arenas.

When I’m on my deathbed, that will be one of the things I think about the most as being a great thing from my life.

I’d give anything to raise him again.

I have a lot of kids and none of them are my favorite, but because I adopted him and he looked up to me so much we had everything in common and did everything together. I’ll miss it until my last day. Good lord time flies.

Running through Classic with my group of high school friends was pretty damn magical. We all played together at launch and it was pretty much all we talked about between classes. We had all drifted away through the years with other responsibilities, but WoW brought us back together.

We don't play WoW anymore, but now we all hang out in discord all of the time and play other stuff. A few of us are setting aside time for Baldurs Gate 3 now!

The games themselves have changed, but I think it's the friends that can bring me back to a different time.

I played Ragnarok Online back in the old day and dropped it around 2006 or something. A few years back i download a private server and log back in, and found out Morroc is destroyed. It's so bizarre.

Guy gets back to his old Sim City save only to find that, without a government randomly raising taxes on it's citizens, the city thrived. The moment he tries to raise taxes up from zero, he is assassinated and the game shuts off, refusing to open again.

If anything it's mostly cause I played Sim City as a little kid and I played it terribly. They most assuredly would have done better.

(In the OG you could literally be like "surprise, 20% taxes!")

I love and hate the feeling in Animal Crossing that the world has just continued existing without you for the last 18 months that you haven't booted it up. Feels like visiting old friends... but old friends that thought you were dead or something.
