I never learned how to read European.

(just a joke)

Some of the posters there make the toxic ones on our forum look like angels :stuck_out_tongue:

Blizzard apprently has ONE forum moderation team, for all of their games’ forums, and they handle both NA and EU. Explains a lot.

I also started vanilla when I was about 11 or 12.

Rating wasn’t a problem. Biggest hurdle was convincing my parents the subscription fee wasnt a scam. And even then I wound up ‘barrowing’ a lot of those one month subscription cards from Best Buy.

I was just happy it’s cartoony graphics ran fine on our prehistoric desktop. Come to think of it only very recently have I had the opportunity to run WoW on high graphics.

There’s a scene in the movie ‘Her’ that sums up playing MMO’s with kids.

In the tv show Ben 10 Ultimate Alien, a character named Jimmy Jones played “Craft of War,” a parody of WoW.

That’s the most unrealistic part of the show, 2010’s zoomer kids playing WoW.

Man I used to write the worst cringe. Never bothered editing it either so it was just rife with spelling and grammatical errors too.

Oh vanilla, the Good Old Days. In my tenure of playing wow I have gotten only a single overnight ban, for losing my temper in PVP and telling other players they suck at PVP.

Ppl get away with so much worse now on a daily basis.

While supervised by my parents who also played. Around the age of 13, I was allowed to play Diablo.

I’m remembering why being a healer was so frustrating. While also seeing why Holy was the king spec this expansion. Man they gave them some teeth this round. Holy Fire, Chastise and Power Word: Death have put me near at top of the kill chart pretty handily.

But nothing is more annoying than hearing complaints about a lack of healing because you’re the only one with the presence of mind not to leave Farm unguarded or worse yet you’re getting focus targeted while the enemy healers free cast.

Meanwhile on the Rogue I’m concurrently leveling my DPS and kill stats might be low but I won us the match by locking down the EFC or snatching nodes.

Rogue was my first love and I love that feeling of;

When I bait someone into trinketing on a kidney punch only to hit them with blind and take the node in front of them.

On the note of Demons summoning mortal warriors to fight in their turf wars, I just did a Broken Shore World Quest where an Imp sends a summons specifically attuned to the PC that requires the PC’s consent. The summoning was to help them kill their Demonic boss. Khadgar remarked how that is exactly how Demon and Elemental summoning works.

Blizz needs to get on this.

I’m watching Herzog’s Nosferatu and there’s this harrowing scene where plague rats overtake a table full of feasts. It’s all very Masque of the Red Death.

But I happen to know white rats aren’t found in nature. So those are all fancy rats, also known as pocket puppies, because they are delightful lil serotonin potatoes;

And I just cant imagine the intended reaction to this neo German expressionist nightmare scene was;

“Dear God! So many bebies!”

Reminds me of old movies where someone is supposed to be attacked by a group of dogs. The person will get surrounded while they’re on the ground and sometimes growls will get edited in but all the dogs are wagging their tails because they actually want to play with the actor.
