How old were you when you played Vanilla?

hey, nice!

15 years younger

I was 26, and in the military still back when i started in 2006. When i got to lvl 60, i only had about a month before BC came out. I had lots of extra time to kill back then because I was single w/ no kids.

I was 14 going into beta and vanilla. Got to play an hour and a half a night.

28 now and with a career, house, wife and newborn looks like scraping an hour a night is wishful thinking. Funny how life works. But I’m still gonna play damn it.

2004, was 18, sophomore year in college. Bought the first laptop with graphic card for vanilla. Never forgot the tough stubborn lvling as a prot warrior. Decided the first afk probably in 2005 or 2006 to pursue academic success.

I was 24! It sounds crazy to say that and think I’ve been playing this game at varying intensities since then. I’m so giddy about doing it again at almost 39 years of age!

It was August 2005, I was 30 years old and in the process of emigrating to the U.S. from Canada. Can’t work for the first year, so I played quite a lot of Vanilla.

I was 11, my neighbors brother was allowed to play it and he let me try it one day.

Cool guy, he was pretty nice to his brother and me.

Well I had pre-ordered the game so in Nov 2004 I was 35.

This time around I have a lot more free time. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad.

Plate-bro’s unite!

I wish there was a way to see when I started. But the billing only goes back so far. Would have been around 2005 I think. So I was around 25

I was 25 when it released. I turn 40 tomorrow.

Started in 2006 at age 41, stopped at age 44.

Does this mean your coming back @ 56? If so welcome 1963!!! LOL
