Yeah I was never on the bleeding edge of raiding and was regularly months behind other guilds as far as progression but working with 25-40 other people and accomplishing something was fun. And 10-man Karazhan runs were great time killers.

I think I last played WoW right around that Lich King add-on.

I was in a really small guild, a husband wife team in Virginia and a drunk co-worker. Besides having to respec my paly multiple times a week, guild self imploded after drunk dude got caught sleeping w the guys wife.

Honestly had fun just fishing

Sega was ahead for one console generation (debatable but probably based more on whatever you had growing up) and then Sony and Nintendo smashed them into oblivion. Granted they really mishandled the end of the Genesis’s life as well as the Saturn launch.... but either way, after Sony entered the console market Sega didn’t have a prayer.

They were ahead with things like online ability, but they might as well have been selling a light bulb to a cave man at that point.

it always appeared to me they were trying to avoid the pitfalls of normal online services because they were so kid centric

like the app needed to in game voice chat (when everyone uses discord anyways) or the friend codes/messaging, which is stuff a younger kid would need parent help with. idk its kinda nice to not have to worry about a lot of that stuff with my kid playing it, outside of splatoon artists

I thought TBC was just the right amount of casual and hardcore. I tend to skew a little towards the hardcore side of things though, so my baseline might be different for casual-friendly. But that’s when they introduced daily quests and easily accessible pvp gear, as well as easy mode and hard mode dungeons.

I don’t like the idea of raid finder. I’ve heard from people that WoW has lost most of the social aspect that I enjoyed so much. People go to a raid, don’t really speak much, and then go about their way when the raid is done.

I met a LOT of friends on WoW because each server felt like it’s own community. That doesn’t seem to be the case now.

Hanging out outside of a dungeon felt hanging outside of the liquor store you were about to rob.

Blizzard official baby. This is the time all those private server runs were for this is the one that counts! Got level 1-20 on speedrun status.

Edit: only 10 loving hours to get my priest up omfg what midlife crisis did I sign up for!?!

See the trick with priest is that your Mana only regens 5 seconds after you cast your past spell. But your first 5 talent points gives you +25% wand damage, so the trick is to stop casting spells. This game is loving dumb and the knowledge gating is insane and IT IS MY WHITE WHALE

Both the Shinobis were awesome with the five different ninjas. I can still hear the noise the yellow one makes when powering up...I always did the highway level first.

I also played a ton of Shining Force Sword of Hajya(?), Psychic World and that Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion.

You will find no one to help you here. Beth DuClare has been dissected and placed in cryonic storage.

I'm having a real good time in my current career run of Battletech. Last run ended up allied to House Liao and by the time the 1200 days ended, I barely had a couple heavy mechs. This time I allied with the pirates and I've gotten a whole bunch of luck. 400ish days left and I already have a king crab, two Highlanders and a bunch of good heavies.

I credit it all to black knights and grasshoppers stuffed full of medium lasers and machine guns, doing precision strikes on heads.

:yarr:

Kind of ironic since I can't even get higher tier missions from almost everyone since everyone hates the pirates.
