I just felt I'd share this, as I feel it really hits the nail on the head.
- jghn 3y agoThat poster is right, although I think their take is overly simplistic. There are a lot of reasons, and a lot more nuance. But it really was one of those perfect moment in time type things. It couldn't have happened exactly that way any earlier, nor later.
- amatecha 3y agoYeah, that's how I feel about early WoW too (vanilla/TBC), it just was how it was then, and that'll never happen again. Gotta love it where it was, and remember those good experiences. It was a really cool time to be a gamer with a decent computer and net connection and family/friends to play it with, and that's good enough to look back on and appreciate. Like so many things in life, "you can't go back", even if all the game code and infra still runs exactly the same.
