No not at all.

I started playing MUDs in the late 90s and moved into EverQuest. That game was a ton of fun but I was never an addict of the game. I never did any raiding in EQ I just didn’t have the time.

I will never forget going to a Wizards of The Coast in the early 2000s. If you didn’t know Wizards of the Coast, It was a chain of a games store that would have a bank of PCs that you could play video games on and a bunch of games for sale.

Anyway I met a guy playing EQ in wizards of the coast whose character had a funny colored name over its head. He got the name color because his character had been logged in for a total of 500 days. I thought it was game days. No that was real life days.

At that time EQ was only 3 years old. He had spent 1.5 years of that time logged into the game………

I was amazed at his addiction.

Anyway I was a big Warcraft fan so I got WoW the moment it was released and again I was always a casual. I had too much to do.

I played Vanilla for a year or two and I cancelled my subscription and I would come back for every expansion for a while. I didn’t really start raiding until Mist of Pandora. That was after my kid went off too college so I had more free time.

I loved raiding. I was never great at it. But I had my own guild and we had 20 folks who I raided with twice a week for years. The last expansion I played was Legion.

I quit and returned briefly for Dragon Flight and just kind of hated it.

I loved WoW.
