Hello everyone,
I’ve become a bit more cautious about posting and commenting on my own posts or others’. That’s why I’ve taken some extra time before jumping back in.
The forum rules have become much stricter compared to 10 or 15 years ago when I was actively playing. Back then, there were wonderful forum threads where we could rate each other’s transmogs, appearance, or names. Guides were well-written by respected class representatives and ambassadors.
It was a slightly more conservative time, but after spending some time on the forums now, I feel that the community spirit has changed somehow. Maybe that’s just modern times.
It’s similar to the guilds I’ve encountered in-game. There’s a lot of coming and going—not everywhere, but often. People aren’t as patient anymore; everything has to move quickly. It’s a different pace, and while I understand that, it sometimes makes me think about how fast everything is moving.
There’s a certain underlying mood now, at least that’s my impression. I don’t know how you all feel about it. Maybe I’m just a bit nostalgic by nature, holding on to the old days. But I’ve also seen extreme behaviors in how people interact, whether in dungeons or raids. It’s very different now. The monsters are attacked at a completely different speed, and there’s a noticeable impatience, even discriminatory attitudes from some players—whether it’s towards new healers in dungeons or people asking simple questions.
I find that a bit sad, but perhaps a few wonderful souls, like you here, can make a positive impact. Thank you for the exchange; I really enjoy reading your messages.
If it’s alright and allowed, I’d love to share more updates here over time on my journeys through Azeroth, perhaps even recapturing a bit of the past.
Take care, safe travels, friends.
