i’m getting the shakes again, The MMO shakes, i need someone to please PLEASE tell me that WoW is a shit game that is definitely not worth me spending a monthly fee for. i’m going through an addon list already i’m too far in, please help.
Will they give you a free month? The last time I had the MMO shakes, all I had to do to cure them was login to ESO and try to do literally anything - all the popups about new “opportunities” that were just loot boxes and micro-transactions gave me the ick, and I logged right back out.
Had a similar experience with Diablo 3 but instead of a popup spam, it was a friend that was practically foaming at the mouth with how obsessed he had become with the game. All I had asked from him was to level me to cap so I could gear and play with him for that season. He began to practically play the game for me, telling all the stuff I need for this and that and blah blah blah and it reminded me real quick why I left the online gaming community. There’s no fun in it anymore and I don’t have time to worry about minmaxing and deminitioning returns. I just wanted to casually click shit on a screen and chill with my friendo.
wow sucks and always has. go find a LARP group
I feel you I was contemplating getting into WoW classic due to nostalgia for WoTLK but I already lost over two entire years of my life to that game. And no, I didn’t just play it for a couple years seriously. I mean my main character had nearly 700 days played time ~15,000 hours. 100 entire days of my life, every year, for 6 years.
I played wow for a large part of my life and have been both happier and more successful since I stopped playing. (It also was how I didn’t go insane boymoding for all of college though so take that for what it’s worth)
Play path of exile or something free.
“A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered. You are speaking, Hmán, as if pleasure were one thing and the memory another. It is all one thing.” - CS Lewis’ Sci-fi Trilogy
Your nostalgia for the game is just as much a part of your experience of the game as when you originally played it. Enjoy feeling the good memories and that desire to go back to them, but know that you can never go back. Remembering good times is just those good times becoming “fully mature”.
A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered. You are speaking, Hmán, as if pleasure were one thing and the memory another. It is all one thing.
God damn CS Lewis has a way with words. the last line in the Narnia Chronicles is so beautiful it makes me want to believe in god
This quote is new to me but I’ve gotta read that story for sure.
Damn, deep shit.
I can’t recommend his scifi trilogy enough! The first book (“Out of the Silent Planet”) is my favorite, but the 2nd is also pretty good. The 3rd book is COMPLETELY different from the first two, but still enjoyable.
There are clear allusions to monotheistic faith in each of them, but I believe he was a philosopher first and foremost. Great reading for over winter holiday if you get a break from school/work at all.
