WoW is my happy place. A piece of my soul lives in Azeroth. The music, the art, all of it.
I can’t escape. During breaks I have auditory hallucinations involving zone music. The beauty.
I escape into it. Nostalgia, love, comfort.
This world is real to me I think. I need it.
I have a good life. I have a beautiful fiance, and I am financially stable. Still… I will never let go
This isn’t a game to me. This is a vital part of my existence.
It is good to have a hobby that is your happy place… as long as it doesn’t overshadow the rest of your life. So enjoy, and maybe your fiance will want to join you on some adventures in Azeroth.
She doesn’t like games involving combat lol. She did level to 45 just through gathering herbs though.
Can’t tell you where my happy place that was WoW is anymore.
Not happy with current game.
Went back to Classic where I was happy…but it’s not there anymore.
With this last patch I went back to WotLK confident I would find my happy place again, nope.
TBC, nope.
Pandaland, nope but damn that place is still pretty.
I am lost.
Sounds like me after too much Pokemon. You just keep hearing little chip tune songs
Or when you play too much tetris and you’re kinda still playing by looking at tiles on the floor
I know you’re out there. I can feel you now. I know that you’re afraid… you’re afraid of us. You’re afraid of change. I don’t know the future. I didn’t come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it’s going to begin. I’m going to hang up this phone, and then I’m going to show these people what you don’t want them to see. I’m going to show them a world without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you… TAKE THE RED PILL!!!
Phew I thought this was gonna be a 2 paragraph advert for AFK Arena.
I’m ok with this
My happy place is in the middle of a Pandaren floof pile.
Glad you have a happy place, too!
There is no escape. Not in this life, and not in the next.
Why escape when you have Wow to go to? It’s not an escape, it’s a lifestyle! 
It took my husband 4 years to get me to join him in Azeroth, I hated it… now I’m the one who initiated “We should restart our subs!”
Have her manage your farm at halfhill and the garrison. All the ore still sells (along with the bags from the cloth from the garrison). She can be your money maker 
Azeroths technically not my happy place, I cope with my stress in sanity by immersing myself in my own art work.
I even taken the habit a making reference to an adult comic; I kind of considered Canon to this character’s lore throughout numerous comments. 
Beautiful. 
I agree!
Sadly, Classic can’t replicate the actual feeling you had when you’d played it the first time. The newness, the wonder. They can give you the same things that were there, but they can’t make it brand new again, and they can’t bring back the people from then either. I’m glad Classic’s there, and I hope they have similar things for the other expacs (at least BC & Wrath anyway), but it’s still not the fix.
But you speak in odd existential tones. Everyone knows we live in Azeroth… and Hi!
