more than a decade ago... "I'll only play the trial and then never play WoW again, I'll do my char as old and ugly as fuck"
I guess my white bearded Night Elf have seen some shit through millennia
My main for the Alliance is Kaldorei, for the Horde - Shal'dorei, so I guess they're few thousand years old. Nightborne one, claims she lived with the same guys for 10 thousand years and she's ready for some 'variety'.
You know what...
We have seen some serious shit in 8 years.
How are our player characters even sane anymore?
We went from nobody boar hunters to elemental lord slayers, dragon slayers, to freaking Old God slayers in a year's time?
Christ, Vanilla would have been enough to mentally break most, and this isn't even mentioning BC forward.
TBH, I was thinking each xpac was like, at least 2 years a piece, if not more.
I was guessing Anduin was like, I dunno, 8 or so in Vanilla, when he was a little blond kid running about, and now I was guessing he was around 25ish.
I was way off.
I remember in one of the early Horde books when Orgrim and Durotan are taken in by the draenei for a time. They note they don't see any children, and are told they haven't had any since they arrived on Draenor. The orcs are plainly stunned by this since the draenei have been there for about 200 years. Especially since they were flirting with a draenei chick who 'looked' about their age and realized she was 10x older than them.
The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.
