WoW NEET

I haven't played in like 3 years, my raid group blew up with flex raid and the chemistry was lost. Too lazy to find another good one with easygoing people, just do a few bgs every now and then. Kind of bummed I burned out, miss having a game to play.

vanilla and tbc private servers is all i've played, had no interest in trying the newer stuff. played the fuck out of vanilla pservers, ranked, did all of the raids multiple times. totally burnt out now. it was fun but it takes over your life if you dive into it.

I have such a strong urge to raid again but the farming of raid consumes and time commitment is brutal. But the idea of going back to BWL, AQ40 and Naxx makes me rock hard. Such a conundrum.

I want to be a neet to play arena on live all day. It's the only thing I care about these days. I jump into new raids and new dungeons here or there but don't do any grinding for gear or farming at all, just pvp. Arena is addicting as fuck and the best part about the game by far, shame only a sliver of the population of the game does it though 90% does pve including all the devs.

Classic will be fun I'll definitely have a character on there but it's more an old fashioned mmo thats slower paced and requires way more grinding

If I were a neet if play both a lot though

Day 1 of Vanilla is one of the most memorable moments in my life. As sad as that might sound, I'd kill to capture even 1/10th of the wonder and excitement I had exploring Durotar as a level 1 orc warrior amongst hundreds of other players, then thousands, while we figured out the new world on our own.

It was a unique feeling that no game has captured since, and maybe never will. But the release of vanilla wow will bring back that feeling, if only for a moment, and I'm looking forward to that

[Anonymous No.14976343]

feel the exact same way, even though i only experienced pservers of course. first days of nostalrius were like this for me. the wonder of exploring new zones and learning your class along the way to 60 is an experience like no other.
genuinely was the most fun i've ever had in a videogame, met some of the coolest people who i played with for years but i left it all behind.

i was a NEET for the majority of the time that i played and lived off my crypto gains from 2017 but it got old for me. across all my chars i had hundreds of days. i wouldn't say i wasted those years as i managed to do other things in my free time but it didn't feel great. i hope you boomers have fun diving into classic, just don't go too hard lmao.

No. I wasted two full years of my life playing WoW in 2005-2007. I'm now an adult and understand the harms of that level of escapism.

I played diablo 2 like a crack addict, but went to college around the time wow came out and didn't get to partake past like level 10 on a trial account. I may play classic wow as I feel like I missed out on something pretty awesome. I was basically illuminati tier on D2 and led one of the best legit pvp clans on the server.

i didn't really "make it". i was mostly hodling btc/eth. i got a "nice start", cashed out enough to NEET at parent's house and reinvested the rest mostly into link (80%) and the rest i use to margin trade BTC. i could've made more if i actively traded during 2017, instead of just playing private servers.

basically i learned that even if i truly make it, i still need to figure out what i want to do. neeting it up sounds nice and is for a while, but it got tiring. i think a lot of anons need to realize this now. money won't solve the issues that you have deep down, especially issues of boredom and not knowing what to do with yourself.

Private server wasn't good because population was an issue. MMORPG need to be well populated to be fun

[Anonymous No.14976496]

>>14976480
The server I played on had a massive population all the way through Naxx progression. it was probably 3-4 times bigger than the most popular vanilla servers back in the day. And it was run as a vanilla experience, with the same patch releases, active GM's etc.

Vanilla wow private servers were several times larger and more populated than even max population classic wow servers. They were so overpopulated that special scripts to improve mob respawn time were implemented, otherwise nobody would have been able to level up or farm.

[Anonymous No.14976734]

towards the end of my last run on nost anytime i would see ironfoe or someone in full rank 14 i would immediately think to the hundreds of hours wasted farming an item that will obsolete in a patch or so. thats the problem with classic, nothing to work towards that shows off any kind of savy or skill, just how autistic you're willing to be. glad i'm not wasting another second on that shit

Ive been an on and off player since vanilla, I has my doubts that going back to vanilla in my 20' would be the same as in my teens. But a year ago I jumped back in to see for myself, and it was just like old times, so god damned fun, played for 6 months straight while juggling work with no lifing and all I want to do is play wow classic 16 hours a day for a couple weeks, i'm even taking a couple weeks off work.

Been playing Vanilla pservers since retail TBC. Classic is nothing like retail vanilla was or the closest pservers (Nost and Kronos).

It's gonna be good but it's absolutely nothing like the original.

Yes, I used to raid in my late teens/20s through high school and college.

I’ve spent the last ten years wageslaving and I my version of making it is living in my paid off house and playing video games all day.

Wouldn’t be wow specifically but I literally have a decade long backlog of games to play. Sometimes I used to get sick of gaming, but now knowing the alternative, I’ll find ways to keep myself entertained.

Between having a full time 21st century job (aka 50/60 hours min) a wife, and son a kid I get maybe 4 hours a week to myself.

When I’m home I have so much shit to do around the house, any time I take to relax is putting something else off.

Imagine you had hundreds of millions to burn on making a game that was all about recapturing the feeling of bliss of big games like WoW, but using modern resources and tech. With the focus being on fun and not profit.

My solution to this problem is to have the activities in the game be productive through a transfer learning method. The ways you would earn EXP in the game would transfer to real life skills. The videogame would be used as a vehicle to prepare people for life but in a fun way.
