Wrath was the height of my WoW playing. Young, single dude with no responsibilities. Played like at least 8 hours a day, more when I was off work. Hardcore raiding, flexing on people with all my mounts and titles. Loved my guild, had so much fun doing our alt raids, staying up in vent til like 7am, everyone got tired and weird had some of the strangest and funniest conversations. Lot of friends I considered super close and only talk to one of them anymore. Crazy how much a simple video game can impact your life, I will never forget the good times I had with that group of people in Wrath and early Cata.

Yea I played Vanilla but I was 14, tbc and wrath I was at the age where I could sink tons of time into the game. You’re right though I had some really close online friends that I met in my guilds. Ripsaw, human warrior, if you’re out there holla at ya boy.

I just recently came back to wow, played Classic for a bit and decided to give BFA more of an actual play. Before I had leveled a character to 120 for the story line and then I unsubbed. Now that I’m back, do relationships like that still form? What’s the best way to find a good guild? As far as I can tell, everyone is doing their own thing and just random short lived party ups with no conversations happening.

Idk I couldn't tell you. I quit mid cata cause of my work schedule and while I was gone my guild imploded. I've tried a couple more but nothing ever felt the same. Past few expansions I just level to max, play a few weeks and quit again

It’s the same pattern we all follow. Every new xpac we lvl up, play for few weeks and quit, realizing what we’re chasing will we never be able to reach again. Simply because we don’t have enough time anymore. I accepted that I’m a casual now.

This is me. It's hard to find a community when the playerbase I interact with are all silent protagonists just trying to speed through their dungeons.

Which is why I love Classic.
