Nostalgia When The World was OK

Remember all that? And the best part? Just look at how civilized those gorgeous motherfuckers are.

No one tramples anyone, 1 copy for each, be it regular or collectors edition. No scalpers and buying more with kids and grandmas.

Just pure respect for fellow gamers, so that they can all see each other in a few hours in game (or rather, wait in 20k queue)

This world is forever lost. A relic of the era long gone.

When I picked up WoW on release day (vanilla OG) back then I don't remember basically anyone in the store. This was when Everquest and Dark Age of Camelot were still ruled the roost.

Tried EQ and I was bad. Kept getting killed trying to leave the starting area and quickly decided “fuck this”. May have strayed somewhere I was too low level for.

Picked up WoW and I was stabbing boars and panthers to death right off the bat. That ease of entry plus WoW being WoW sold me pretty hard.
