Every time I see a post like this I have these strong fits of nostalgia. I had some great times in my life playing that game between 2005-2014. However, there were also great reasons why I left and I can't seriously imagine going back.

Still, one thing I will say is even around 2006 I was saying that this was a game that people would still be playing in 20 years. Nobody believed me then but I was correct.

It really is a great game.
Mostly it cuz we were playing with friends. Nowadays i'd rather not having a secondary job after a regular work day.
What you don't feel like grinding for mats and making item level to raid. Then finding a group that will let you raid because you can't always be there at the same time 7 days a week. Wow is basically an unpaid PT job.

Anyone got a game similar to this that they recommend that's just buy to play rather then subscription based? I can't deal w anymore subs, and could use a time sink for the upcoming winter months.
Lost Ark is also a good FTPMMO.

After the monstrosity that is Diablo Immortal I am done with Blizzard for a while. Trying to play to compulsive gamblers is too far for me. The company is a shell of its past run by empty suits. It is sad because they were gods back in the day.

This game was originally made for casuals and that game was awesome. When it became only about raid progression is when it sucked, but that's also what got all the neckbeards addicted. Otherwise it wouldn't have had nearly as much success. But I miss the early early days.
Originally made for causals? Early crafting was a huge time sink, ever try and make an arcanite reaper? You need alchemy, mining and blacksmithing. Ever use the travel system that took at least 2x as long IF there even was a flight point. Molten Core and Onyxia were there at the start without LFR and much less forgiving (not to mention attunements)

Honest question, are people still playing Wolf of Warcraft?
Yeah, mostly streamers when Blizzard puts bounties on twitch.

I didn't personally do much but my favorite WoW memory was our guild and my raid having the first Onyxia kill on our server

Quote from SirMarvinHaggler :
Lots of former addicts in this thread. I'll warn you now: you can never go back. Whether you play the latest expansion or Classic WoW/TBC/Wrath, it will never be the same again.

If you're itching for that feeling of 10-15 years ago, I suggest playing a new game and getting hooked on it instead. If you haven't played it, Guild Wars 2 is on Steam, the base game is free and there's no subscription.

Final Fantasy 14 has a subscription model, but it's arguably the best MMO to release since…well, GW2 and WoW. It has a slow start, but once you hit the mid-game it really begins to cook.

Other than that, it's kind of a crapshoot. Star Wars The Old Republic is still around and does story telling very well (this is pre-Disney SW, thank god). I hear Fallout 76 is improved. If multiplayer isn't your bag anymore, No Man's Sky offers great feeling of exploration.
Agreed. FF14 looks much better (though still not anywhere close to the experience like say, Elden Ring) nowadays, though ER is not an MMO.

I'd like to add also FF14 is free to play until Lv60 too.
I have to admit I did give up on FF14 after several days of griding as I'm maybe at a point of life can't have an MMO job.
Lol maybe I would have more free time after retirement, if I still want to play MMO at that time...

I quit WoW in 2006 and am not eligible to this promo, but probably wouldn't play it anyway.
If I were eligible this would go into the very bottom of my backlog...like all the other freebie games.

I feel the same. As much as I would like to play the new expansion, I couldn't fathom the loss off time it would incer. It does however bring back fond memories that my kids may one day experience.

Too many tryhards in this game and games like it. Then the recurring "expansions" where your endgame character gear gets replaced with greens.. Good riddance!

whats your proposed solution for "endgame character gear gets replaced with greens?"

they need to make stronger gear to get people to play and explore the new territories

You can sit in hour long LFR queues as DPS or roll a tank/healer to get in faster

I'm not sure what you mean. Up until Shadowlands, WoW would offer content up to the previous expansion for free.
