This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
This was the state of many RPGs to level up at that time, MMO or not. The more interesting quests or difficult ones came along when you had more kit to use. Though that said, most of WoW's initial quests available for a while were like that. In BC you started to get bombing runs, more point A to B path finding quests, etc.
Classic servers can't capture classic WoW. No MMO can. The internet is too interconnected.
I think a lot depends on why you play a game. I liked WoW and other open-world games for the vast lands I can explore. I don't give a rats ass about combat or progression. I do just enough to stay alive and spend most of my time socializing and exploring.
My first PC game was WoW. I didn't know how to use keyboards back then, and so, I was killed by boars 5 minutes into the game.
Fun times.
I'm old, so my first MMO was Everquest. I only did "hunt-and-peck" style typing using my index fingers prior to this. Within a month I was a skilled typist out of necessity.
Everquest also taught me that I have to keep very clear of WoW because I realize that if I ever started chasing that dragon, I'd wind up homeless.
I'm so old my first MMO was ICQ
