I started playing World of Warcraft in late 2006. I was introduced to the game by a friend I made at work. He actually purchased the game for me and my first month of game time. I think I played almost daily for a few years and loved it. Found out I had family that played as well and ended up spending a lot of time in the game.

I remember playing through the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. After that one, I think I’ve played off and on since. A lot of my family stopped playing, and some of the guilds I was a part of over the years disappeared leaving me to mainly play solo now, so I don’t really jump in like I used too. However, I still feel that pull to jump back in and see how the current story is playing out.

World of Warcraft just came out with another expansion called Midnight. I am experiencing a bit of FOMO right now. I really want to play, but I am much busier now than I was 20 years ago, and I don’t know if I can justify a monthly subscription for it only to play occasionally. But I really want to play again. It’s amazing to me how addicting a game can be.
