How Old Were You When You Started WoW and How Old Are You Now?

Community General Discussion

I was 13 years old when I started WoW in the middle of MoP, I remember back then asking for my mom to buy me a membership and an expansion pack as my birthday gift. :blush:

I only played a half of WoD and I was 15

Came back to Legion when I hit 16 and played through that entire expansion for my entire half of high school. (18 years old)

BFA I did ok but I quit almost entirely of SL.

Now I am 22 In Dragonflight, about to turn 23 in a month.

I always get heavy nostalgia thinking about my past experiences in this game. :heart::relieved:

Now share me your story. :grin:

30, just shy of 31, when I started playing Vanilla which the numbers are behaving weirdly because I am only 25 now! :rofl: Actually, 48 now… What a long strange trip it’s been.

I think I was 12? I’m 31 now? I’ve been here a long time. It’s only gone down hill since though.

I feel like maybe that’s just [our] perception, I mean how long can one game stay relevant and fun for everyone?
