Woof, no thank you. WOW consumed so much of my time back in those days. I can still look back on it all with fondness. The couple of times I have peeked behind the curtain since then have only made me sad.

Me too. I’m in no position to play that game now, which kind of breaks my heart. I’ve got some really really rare mounts on there.

The best part for me was playing PvP with my son. He’s 25 now. During Cata we were an unstoppable arena force.

He got a gaming laptop and I got a Steam deck. We were talking about jumping on a Cata private server recently.

Both of us are so busy that it’s unlikely to happen.

I’d give anything to go back and have him beside me in that old living room playing arenas.

When I’m on my deathbed, that will be one of the things I think about the most as being a great thing from my life.

I’d give anything to raise him again.

I have a lot of kids and none of them are my favorite, but because I adopted him and he looked up to me so much we had everything in common and did everything together. I’ll miss it until my last day. Good lord time flies.
