I left WoW in Cata, tried MoP etc...but that is all besides the point. One thing I realised yesterday is how much of an amazing part of my life WoW has been. Something tragic happened in my life yesterday that I do not wish to talk about but once it was all said and done I got home agitated, stressed and lost. I jumped on a certain wow server and flew around some of my favourite zones and for a few moments it made me forget about how much my life is sucking, just for a short time.
I myself have given blizz a lot of flack about the state of game and blah blah blah but the fact remains...there will never be a game which will give me as much happiness as I got out of WoW when I was an avid player. Thank you WoW, I am amazed that a game can bring so much calm and distract me from life's bigger issues at least for a short time.
Many people like me are guilty of shaming WoW and saying terrible things about how the game is now and maybe that is because everytime we talk about the times we loved, people claim we are just being nostalgic. But what is life, if not a series of nostalgic experiences? It's nostalgia that makes me hold onto my old teddy bear from when I was a lad, it's nostalgia that makes me love my old school so much, it's nostalgia that I can feel about a game which is'nt evn real, like I feel for WoW.
Those were good days. All the hate aside, WoW is and will forever be one of the finest games I ever played.
