cool, a private server I guess?
I think this has been one of the longest break I had in a long time. I just 
couldn't face another stupid lfr or even a normal raid. I fell asleep as 
soon as I entered. And I'm not good enough a player for heroic or mythic 
raids. I don't like grinding not in any game. I do miss my guildies and wow 
friends though so perhaps I'll be going back soon but perhaps only to level 
some alts. Could be that when I log in that I find everyone has taken a 
break lol!

I'm playing runescape now, quests are nice but there is also a lot of 
grinding in that game. I finished Life is Strange which is for me the best 
game ever! But it is not an mmorpg, just a story game.

I'm not really convinced Legion will give wow the boost it needs ....

My raiding group disbanded, so I'm spending more time with the kids.
But I still play.  Pet battles, garrison missions, LFR for alts, and
fishing.

Yep, at long last an English language PVE one launched last month
(Nostalrius), for some reason until now they've all been PvP, which I
hate, seemingly I'm not alone in that as we have a fairly consistent
2k+ population so far (it'll drop when Legion comes out, but that's
not an issue anytime soon!). The higher lvl I get, the more things I
notice that aren't scripted quite right, but it's still close enough
to bring back the memories, so I'm having fun :-)

Hehe quite possibly, although the new patch seems to have woken a few
up - I went to Warspear on Wednesday and found it about twice as busy
as it's been recently. Not that much of the content appeals to me, oh
hey, valor for doing group stuff, hey a mount for more group stuff. I
hate pugging 5-mans (funny thing is I'm loving them on the vanilla
realm, people there have a much more relaxed attitude than modern day
players... it's not just gogogo pull as much as you can), and I got so
bored of LFR that I've not even set foot in HFC yet. Although I
clearly should soon, since that's all that lies between me and my
legendary ring...

I absolutely loved Life is Strange, glad to see another fan! Must
admit I didn't play it myself yet; my bf got it first and I was
watching his playthrough, amazing game, so I've got my own copy now,
but by the time I got it (waited for the whole thing thing to be out,
as it made sense to continue enjoying the story together with my bf on
his copy first), the vanilla realm was about to launch and I got
sucked into that. I am totally going to play it through on my own copy
soon though, loved the whole feel of that game.

I seem to have found myself buying a few songs off the soundtrack too,
the music was fantastic :-) Apparently there's a physical version
coming out early next year, which includes a soundtrack CD, so I
suspect I'll end up owning two copies of the game then... I REALLY
want that soundtrack, and I'd rather have an official one than just
pirate it off Youtube!

>I'm not really convinced Legion will give wow the boost it needs ....

Yeah, WoD was the one that brought tons of people back, and it was
such a letdown that I suspect a lot won't give it another chance.
Legion looks fantastic from the info at Blizzcon, but, so did WoD, so
I'm remaining cautious until I've seen more about how it'll actually
play out. At least this time they've remembered that some of us like
having max lvl content in the outside world... that is a good start! 

I see the beta client is available for dataminers now, so I guess it
won't be long till beta starts, quicker than I expected, I guess they
won't have endgame stuff up at first (usually starts with the lowbie
zones and builds up) but hopefully in a couple of months we'll have an
idea of what it'll be like. Keeping my fingers crossed for good things
this time (and for a beta invite lol...)

Strange that you have to buy the game 2x for that

Yeah a bit annoying tbh, if they'd announced the special physical
edition sooner, I wouldn't have bought the download, but waited for
the new version. Oh well, so long as there's no ingame goodies tied to
it (unlikely) I'll give my 2nd Steam key to my bf, since he didn't
actually pay for it while playing it... *ahem*.

I either get in fairly early or not at all, WoD I got in on the 1st
wave, which amazed me! Couldn't quite believe it when I saw it on my
account page :-) Not expecting any such luck again, and tbh I'm not in
a big rush, lvl 52 on vanilla now (and highest lvl in my rather casual
guild), I want to reach 60 before I get distracted by anything else
;-)

Haven't played since march or april.
I was only going to take a month off and had enough tokens to play until 
the end of the year.
Was going to restart a few times, loaded the patches but just couldn't 
get beyond the 'do I want to spend the next day just getting back up to 
speed?'. Talent changes, class changes, addon changes.

I got an email last week 'preorder (next patch?) and get a free 100'
I have 7, another 100 that I would just *have* to use is actually a 
disincentive. Choosing another name is just too terrifying :-)

I expect I will get beyond the logon screen sometime.

   Something about a video triggered a memory of a game last night.
Some I remember dozens of zones and dungeons in good detail after years. 
Early wow 9 years ago I remember.
But I realised I couldn't remember much about Wod, a lot of vague 
layouts but kinda foggy dream grey rather than colour and 'I know that 
would be THERE'.

  All I really remember is the alliance garrison clock tower and how it 
always annoyed me it had a rendered interior mechanism but the clock 
didn't work :-)

you hit the nail on the head there. WOD just doesn't appeal. I even thought 
yesterday - perhaps I should just make a new char and enjoy the old content 
again. I think I'll wait a bit longer though.

I had the same thing with secret world. I loved the content untill we got to 
a part that was just only playable for people with nimble fingers. I 
couldn't progress anymore and it didn't make sense to keep repeating the old 
parts of the game. I never been able to play with other people in dungeons 
and raids because I'm too old and slow in reaction so there wasn't anything 
to do anymore. Still loved the first parts of the game but they never made 
that kind of cool content after the initiater left to continue on dreamfall 
chapters.
Perhaps we have to wait for blizzard to get someone to make content like 
that in wow.
