      "I had joined the best guild and I was ready, excited, and prepared. I had graduated high school, I was taking one class at community college, the stage was set for greatness. The stage was set for degeneracy. I was living with my mother, I had no girlfriend, no job, I was hardly going to school and my life had never been better. I was so happy."

    Man, watching this video makes me really happy.
    Seeing how happy Asmon gets when talking about him and his friends all playing together and watching old videos really resonates and hits home with me.
    It reminds of the good ol days in OG WoW/Wrath when my brother and I would play for hours on end on our dinky little E Machines Computer from Walmart with the graphics all the way down and still lag and get d/c'd.
    My brother passed away last December (2021) from a Drug Overdose and it just makes me remember the times when everything was so innocent and pure.
    How things change, how life changes...
    Man, if I could go back I would cherish the moments more than I did.

      Yeah BC and WotLK were peak WoW. I played Classic too but not that seriously. Only started getting really into it when BC came out and somehow got into the best PvP guild on the server that was for 18+ when I was 14 lol. Ended up playing a lot of Arena and open world PvP. I made pretty close friends in that game while I was bullied in school but online people looked up to me because I had 2200 ratings. We had a lot of fun and all loved the PvP videos people like Neilyo and Reckful released and it kinda pioneered what we all know today on CZcams and Twitch. It was a amazing time in my life despite my struggles. I played both expansions excessively start to finish but I felt like the game was slowly losing something and Cataclysm somehow disappointed me that I quit it 2-3 times until I finally did for good.

    Hands fucking down.... this is one of the ABSOLUTE BEST MMO Game/IRL Stories I've seen narrated and streamed, ever!! The way you slap down your personal chapters and weave it into the day to day with your boyz [and gurlz] in the game, and move across time, the special moments with your Mom and Dad, the entire guild being burned to ashes, then later rising from it like a Phoenix to live once again.. these are stories that create LEGENDS for our Industry. Gotta be honest here bro, some of this got me teary-eyed and slammed with the feels, and many good laughs as well! Maybe in 5 years you can do a new "IRL Rehash" that involves a new MMO or something of note. As always, keep it real, keep doin' what you do cause' it's the good stuff! 😉👍

    I can speak to the feeling, I remember preordering Wotlk and then the excitement, raiding was incredibly fulfilling, I loved raiding as a main tank and my healer.The countless hours spent on ventrilo(basically discord in the early 2000s)together as a guild joking, laughing, having fun and enjoying the challenge.
    It’s a feeling I’ve never been able to replicate since, feeling like a genuine team where each person was skilled and knew their job and worked hard together for a common goal. In those moments you could feel a true bond and true friendship, for many these were the only friends they may have had.
    It was truly an experience I’ve not seen again in any form, after Cataclysm the game shifted into something different, which is fine however it seems largely this experience comes from the time period and technology available and the unprecedented nature of WoW at the time, nothing else even came close.

    this video made my night. I remember getting into WOW during the last 9 months of BC and leveling for the first time as a warrior. My friend aka Ciekiller bought me wrath of the lich king for my upcoming birthday as it was coming out. After that time I grew into the gamer I am today through all the in depth experiences of WOTLK as you know. The nostalgia of similarities is so great asmond. Keeep kicking ass
