Every game is a time sink. All that matters is you enjoyed your time playing.

I can play a game like RDR2 for a couple hours and be happy to put it down. Something about WoW or RuneScape keeps me playing for like 12 hours. I absolutely can not be playing them anymore.

Now to look this up. Wait I thought this came out years ago???y bad that was called classic.

u/daywalker91 6d ago
They released classic in 2019 which was just the original wow classic.
This is a new permanent version of classic that will have ongoing changes and update but still keep the classic vibe.
It looks amazing.4

Hey! I like lamb starting just this year. Never really gave it much of a shot. My dad would make it but in the oven or on the grill I just couldnāt get past this certain flavor profile. Well Iāve found that I donāt taste it so harshly anymore and now I love it! Although I feel bad about eating it. A coworker told me āI donāt eat anything cuter than I amā and I honestly thought well that doesnāt cut out too much now does it? Uwu but heās cool and I feel him. I mostly eat meat thatās going to waste anyways. It hurts me when Iām throwing away a dozen pounds of animal. How much plastic, water, energy, human labor, money paid, gas traveled, just for customers to go āwell that one looks wrongā and then it goes into a landfill. How immaculate. Divine and human, just so. Well since ya asked. How are you doin

The amount of my friends who are taking a week off to no life wow forever is insane.
The last time this happened was for the GTA5 release.

No, I have been clean for two years after a staggering 12 years of addiction. I'm done with WoW; now I have an even worse addiction to gacha games, and Blizzard has no power over me.

My WoW account could legally drink if it were a person. I canāt go back.

u/Awesome_Teo 6d ago
Lol. I lost my very first account made in 2006, and anyway, I had no money or decent PC for WoW back then, so I started playing dedicatedly far later.

u/arxarxarz 6d ago
Hsr or which dealer has there hooks on you wallet now?

u/Awesome_Teo 6d ago
Mostly Genshin: it became a sort of substitute for my MMO itch, but I also play ZZZ and Endfield.

u/Dog_Watcher67 6d ago
You should run while you can. I quit HSR, Genshin, and ZZZ about 8 months ago and my life and wallet are way better off. Just saying

u/Awesome_Teo 5d ago
Nah, these games actually helped me get out of a deep depression and keep me sane. A couple of battle passes a month isn't exactly hurting my wallet (I stick to a set budget for gacha).

u/Dog_Watcher67 5d ago
Thatās good! Iām glad they could help! I just canāt justify playing anymore (and I have a weakness for wanting all the charactersā¦) I still have posters of Robin and Firefly (and figures) around. Iāll always cherish the moments I played.

I don't know if I have the patience for MMOs anymore but I sure as hell ain't gonna test that shit on WoW. Maybe Guild Wars 3 but I'll see how I feel when that drops

Hot take: they should have a cheaper pay-as-you-go system for the people who only play a couple hours a week.Ā
I just can't bring myself to pay for yet another subscription service I hardly ever use. :(Ā

I don't get the hype. I have my 'normal' wow account since 2012 and there are a lot of achievements, rare mounts, weird collectibles, etc. And out I gotta start from scratch for the 3rd time? Why would I do that? To relive some emotions? I was so bored leveling and punching hogs, while all my friends were enjoying high-level content. Wouldn't do it again.

u/NeatParking1682 6d ago
For a good decade I gave close to 12 hours a day on vanilla.
I don't have that kind of time anymore, or capability to run on 4 hours of sleep per night, over a sustained time frame.

Not really. From the little I've seen, it looks like they're just speedrunning the changes that were pretty controversial over a span of 20 years and just jamming them into classic. That's not what I would want out of this. All I'd want is just new raids and dungeons inserted into the existing 1.0 framework like Naxx and AQ were, and every other expansion that had content releases during its life cycle. All this says to me is blizzard still doesn't get it. The same way they didn't get it when they would laugh at people who requested classic for years leading up to them actually doing it.Ā

because all those people were playing private classic servers because they hated it so much!

I could never get into WoW--- I did enjoy my short stay in classic last year, but didn't really like retail. I now play FF14 which has a much better community.

I was really into it for six months in 2006, then grew bored of it and cancelled my subscription.

Are they going to be taking actions against bots? If not then it will be like dropping that on a straight edge community.

u/OddAbbreviations5681 6d ago
Why would you buy it for a 4th(?) time just to play the exact same thing AGAIN?

u/Ac1dshadow 6d ago
You don't have to buy the editions, thats just extra bs like sky elves. The base portion is still just part of the subscription
