At the present time not so much but overall this game gave me meaning when other things didn’t make much since. It was a distraction, goal setting and at times therapeutic. It gave me joy and hope when it was at its best for me and gave me frustration and angst at its worst.
I love this game. I can be harsh at times about it’s state because it means something to me. I value the time and development that my characters have. I’m not a cutting edge person or anything like that but a lot of love has still gone into the toons that I play (altiholic here) because they are my toons.
That really is were the love comes from me. I have characters that I have invested time in, those are my adventures and are my experiences. I would not trade them for anything.
I not sure why I felt the need to write this other than just to share what my take on what wow is for me.

As long as you are genuinely having fun and not just playing because of sunk cost.
This is a nice and well-written thread but…
Why are these posts always made by Vulpera lol
Same here. It’s not perfect, but it makes me happy. I’ve tried other games. Not many measure up. Wow has charm for me, warts and all.
I’m eagerly waiting to get back into Retail. I have a few things impeding me, but once those clear up I’ll gladly be running around old and new content alike.
I just wish Blizzard had made better ethical choices. At this point I don’t think they can ever redeem themselves, and unfortunately that reflects on us as players.
I have this high mountain tauren that I love also here. So it is kinda both.
At present time, WoW is not in a good spot despite me still logging on and such for the guild. I can’t hate the game that aged with me for a while decade. I’ve played since Cata and even though players have said I’ve started at the worse timing and never should have, I just don’t care.
I’ve had fun even when players said WoW was at its worse which was WoD. I still felt motivated to log on and run Ashran. I still remember getting to level 85 even though it feels like ages ago. First time I ever hit max!
