I hated them when I was kid so I missed the golden age (also didn't really have money for the good ones).

Now I'm very entrenched into FFXIV and GW2 but there isn't really a community here on lemmy for them.

I played WoW pretty regularly from Burning Crusade through Cataclysm, then bits and pieces of future expansions, but tbh I'm pretty burned out from MMOs because every single time I start playing one I always quickly get the feeling that I'm wasting my life and my time would be better spent doing literally anything else. Plus with all the shitty psychological hooks that WoW (and other MMOs I'm sure) do to keep you coming back, like daily quests and time gated content, they've made it pretty clear we're paying customers first and players second, and I just don't want any part of that. I'll stick with my single player games that I can pick up and put down at my leisure without being pressured to play them because of an active monthly subscription.
