As some of you might know by now, I’ve started playing World of Warcraft Classic very recently. Today I want to go down memory lane, and tell you about the different reasons why I almost never played that game until now, and why I’ve changed my mind.

  1. I had addiction playing war3 and mobile legend before. I finally realize that the addiction was the adrenaline rush especially at the tense and exciting moment. The way to cure addiction is to find and channel that energy into other contructive activities that you love to do like sports, reading, and etc. I never really get into wow because i have to dedicate a large amount of uninterruped time to play with others like get a party and do dungeons together late night till morning. Since it's mmo you can't save at certain point and continue tomorrow (like traditional rpg save point)

  2. you were intelligent by dodging an addictive game till an age where u can handle and or profit its addictive nature. it's very easy to get lost in azeroth, the social aspect of classic makes it an actual reality

  3. Haven't played classic in a while, but I remember thinking that Retail's gameplay was more polished. It's a very different game (and a lot less accessable) from classic, but I think that if you enjoy the aspects that aren't questing and leveling (Retail's questing imo is pretty consistent quality wise there's just a LOT more of it and the leveling is designed to be painless to get to lvl cap, not to lead you through zones) then maybe Retail is worth a try?

    You would have to resonate with one particular class spec enough to want to if you aren't a lore head though.

  4. Grubby has a way of speaking his mind unlike anyone else I've ever listened to. He articulates his thoughts very well and his perspective always feels unique.

    Classic wow is so different than the competitive games he's played for so long, i don't think i could see him getting sucked into it like how it has consumed others (myself included).

    Cool vid!

  5. My reason was quite literally that I liked the gamr just too much, and that scared me, specially since I was in a decision point in my life, getting into university and such

  6. When it comes to addiction I think the caveat is that somethings are predatory either by nature or much worse design. When wow was released it was the accusation that it was addictive by design that people criticised. To what extent this is true I’m not sure but I can say without a doubt it pales in comparison to social media, most ftp games and to be honest watching streamers.
