Who else here was NEET playing WoW everyday from 2004 to 2010 like me? Best years of my life.

Or are you all a bunch of young-fags who were too young to even know what that was back then.

Sadly the average age has plummeted to about 18 on this board. I doubt you will get many replies.

I actually remember stealing wotlk from target cus my mom said I played to many video games.
>>
>>28282050
No I was in school during BC and Wotlk.

I wouldn't be proud to be an adult and playing WoW during it's heyday. It was literal plebshit marketed to teenagers and manchildren.

Blizzard filtered down european fanstasy cliches to pure simplicity in order to market them to the masses
>>
>>28282065
I've come to realize that now. It's a bit of a weird feeling knowing that the majority of people here who will read this post were literally 5 or 6 years old when I had finished high-school and went NEET and had the time of my life in WoW.

18 years old, never played wow or any online game like that in my life

I started WoW on release when I turned 17 years old in 2004. WoW was instantly x1000 more fun than real life and I never ended up going to university until age 25 after I finally got sick of WoW.

I'd still play a vanilla server if blizzard ever makes one, but not the current game, the current game has been catered to normiefags. I miss the times where MMORPGS were actually annoying as fuck and painful...it made the end result feel so much better and it filtered out all the normie-fags.
>>
I would watch videos about it at the time as a kid but never got into it, with this whole talk of legacy servers kinda makes me wanted to be part of it
>>
Good days, the first three expansions were god-tier
>>
I'm 18, I've been on 4chan since 11 or 12, I WoW a try when I was 12, but I wasn't social enough to make any friends in it, and playing WoW completely alone gets kind boring.
>>
>>28282121
30 year old here.

I'd say it's more like 25 years of age is the cut off point.

Maybe people end up randomly changing during 20-25. I've seen fellow robots turn from shut-ins to full fledged normies during the 20-25 age bracket.....it's the 25+ who never escape.

It's still possible for a 20-25 year old to do it, 25+ is def past the point of no return though.

I quit the day before BC was released, shortly after hitting the level cap. I still remember one guy in my guild saying, "Haha, sure dude. See you tomorrow."

WoW just never clicked for me the way UO and FFXI did. I'm honestly glad I invested more time in those games over WoW. I don't understand the nostalgia for it, the game was painfully generic and was already en route to the casualization of MMOs (death penalities being almost non-existant [as opposed to FFXI's de-leveling and heavy exp loss, or UO's "holy shit I just lost everything in my backpack" system].

It might have just been because I got into it at a bad time, though. I was 18 and slowly losing interest in MMOs and video games in general.

I dropped out of highschool to play WoW. Not even joking.

I started during the school holidays after finishing Year 10 in December 2004 (Australian) By the time I was supposed to start Year 11 in Jan or Feb (forgot exact month) I was already too far into WoW to care about school. I ended up dropping out after the first week of Year 11 and just sat at home playing WoW for the next few years non-stop.


I know I fucked up badly making that decision, but at the same time I don't regret it. I feel like I already had my "retirement" in life...and I fucking LOVED every moment of it. I eventually went back and go my highschool certificate, got into a university and ended up getting a decent normie job.I honestly still get emotionally just thinking about what I experienced in WoW all those years ago, the times I had....nothing will ever make me not miss those times. No matter how "normie" my life is now, I still miss the old times.

I played a few MMOs before WoW. UO and then SWG.

I was a social beast on WoW back all those years ago. I actually ended up raid leading in a top 50 world guild during the end of Vanilla, and throughout all of TBC and WOTLK.

That doesn't mean shit in real life though, I still have no RL friends, no GF. I've been at the same gym for 5 years now and haven't made a single friend or really spoken to anyone.

Socializing in WoW =/= socializing in real life.

They're all shit mate. Don't even bother unless blizzard opens their own Vanilla server.

Private servers take a certain kind of autism to play on them, it's just full of normies who didn't even play the original WoW who just want a free game to play. Youngfag normies make up all the players on the private servers because theyre from the generation who plays Free2PLay games.

No it doesn't.......I started WoW in 2004 not knowing it was going to be some game where I would need to actually talk to people to be able to get things done.

WoW forced me to socialize and I'll admit I enjoyed it, the same way I enjoy posting on 4chan. Does communicating on 4chan make me a normie now?

WoW FORCED me to communicate and socialize with others, but it's not the type of communication and socialization you would need to do with NORMIES in real life.

Just because someone is on WoW or 4chan doesn't make them a normie. I'm not saying you necessarily are one, but doing either of those things puts you in contact with completely normal people.

And in my case, WoW would've forced me to socialize, except I wasn't wiling to try to socialize on it, so I just quit.

Mate...I was a literally Hitler raid leader on WoW. I was most certainly not liked by any of the what you would call "normie" people in the guilds I was raid leading.

In fact people would often (behind my back) talk shit about me being a autistic hitler. People only did what I said because I had power over them because I some how made my way to the top of the guild.

I didn't make it to the top of the guild by being some nice normie happy-go-lucky person that everyone liked. A few other autistic higher ups basically built me up as one of their own into a leadership like role because they saw that I was extremely harsh and had no feelings whatsoever. I didn't feel bad about kicking someone out or calling them out. I was a fucking machine.

The way I acted in WoW in that top position would have got my ass beat in RL.

>He fell for the "game got easier" meme
Sure leveling became easier, dungeons became easier, but they never were a challenge, 90% of the challenge in Vanilla was being on a large enough server and getting a solid roster.

TBC was similar, some encounters like M'uru required stupid class stacking, wasn't an actual challenge. WotLK had lolNaxx, Ulduar was solid, lolTotC, lolICC. I mean ICC had what, maybe 4 challenging heroic bosses.

Raiding has improved every expansion since, excluding some bosses which required huge class stacking, or were really punishing to melee. And class balance (before lege) has been the best it's ever been.

If you really think WoW got easier because leveling did, you are a casual.

I liked all of these changes at the time of them happening because I enjoyed the QoL (quality of life) improvements. But now it makes me realize that all that combined fucked up the game.

I love RP in WoW. Though I barely ever RP romance, my characters are usually not very well suited for it

>>28283656
What characters did you roleplay as?

God damn I miss those moments. It was the community of TBC that made the game so fun for me.

sadly i was playing runescape during that time period. 2004-2010 exactly.

never touched wow.

hoping that the nostalrius server comes back or something so i can try it out

I knew what it was as a young'un, but my dad never bought me a subscription because judaism.

I've played the game since the start after playing Warcraft, and I haven't quit. The game sucks but I'm determined to see it out to the end. Plus I just want to be a gladiator just once, sick of duelist titles.

It was an interesting time

Why isn't this game f2p yet, I would love to play past level 20.

I aint got no money yo

>>28282050
I was to busy playing ps2/xbox 360
>>
>>28286356
because five million people are still willing to cough up $15 a month for it. This is also why blizz doesn't give any fucks anymore, they realized its more profitable to not have to do much development and just milk that cashflow for as long as it lasts
>>
>>28282050
>Who else here was NEET playing WoW everyday from 2004 to 2010 like me?

I did.

Original > TBC > Dog shit > WotLK
>>
>>28286407
How can I get a month ingame, is that possible, like farming gold or something. Or do I have to beg on /b/ until someone drunk enough buys me some game time?
>>
>>28282050
MMORPGS are for fags

It's so funny because I did exactly the same.
I remember stealing this and a few pokemon cards. Tho the last thing I still do from time to time.

>>28286435
you can buy game time with gold now. or at least you could, I havent played retail for over a year. But you won't make enough for that until you're max level. probably on more than one char that you play a lot
>>
>>28286171
you got a nice mom man

I was more of a counterstrikefag in those days

>farthest I ever got in raid wise completion in that expansion was Gruul's Lair and Karazhan
>tfw now 26 with only a laptop and quit playing during cataclysm

Fuck why did you need other people to do cool stuff. I don't want to talk to others on vent.

Karazhan is still the best raid ever though and I still get the withdrawal symptoms of wanting to go back
>>
>>28282050
I started playing when cata first came out
Kinda wish I had taken an interest to it earlier
Every day basically consisted of railing adderall and tweaking my character while collecting stuff and doing nonessential shit

It felt empty but it also was a great way to shut out the world

I was never social, never did any raids and all that. Kinda regret it, I was probably missing out on the best part
