Yeah, servers were dope. Building a reputation for yourself, making friends outside your usual group

I stopped WoW a bit after the server instancing thing happened. I was in Detheroc pretty much from launch and got tossed into I think Shadowburn for the server group. I actually made a name for myself as a bit of a go to PUG tank for just about anything and was probably the closest one got to a mercenary in that game.

It was clunky but they were my people and we got to know each other. Once that started to fade away so did I. I miss those days but know they'll never be back so I'll just think back on those days and smile. If anyone reading this remembers a human warrior named Stem, hi.
