Gaming is so unbelievably back.
Blizzard basically just said “remember everything you were obsessed with 20 years ago?” and brought ALL of it back at once.
WoW: Forever is basically going back to vanilla WoW…lvl 60, the original world/era, except instead of just replaying the exact same game they’re adding new zones, 1,000+ new quests, new raids and dungeons, and basically building out the version of old WoW that could’ve existed if they just kept going from there.
Then Warcraft III is getting its first new campaign/expansion in 23 YEARS, Diablo V is coming, StarCraft is somehow becoming an open world shooter, AND Diablo is getting an animated Netflix series.
Warcraft/WoW, Diablo, StarCraft… these aren’t just games people liked. Entire childhoods and friend groups and years of people’s lives are attached to these worlds. YEARS. THOUSANDS OF HOURS.
Vanilla WoW especially was one of those things you really had to be there for. Everyone was playing, you’d get home, and immediately log onto ventrillo and play until 3am.
If they actually pull this off we are 100% reentering a golden era of gaming.
one of my favorite things about trading is that the problems are so abstract and the goalpost keeps moving.

As painful as it is in the moment, losing vast amounts of money at some point in life is one of the best teachers you’ll ever encounter. There’s something about getting that sick, nauseous feeling deep in your gut that causes you to tread more carefully in the future.
