Remember all that? And the best part? Just look at how civilized those gorgeous motherfuckers are.
No one tramples anyone, 1 copy for each, be it regular or collectors edition. No scalpers and buying more with kids and grandmas.
Just pure respect for fellow gamers, so that they can all see each other in a few hours in game (or rather, wait in 20k queue)
This world is forever lost. A relic of the era long gone.

Damn this was a time when I was extremely young but still…must have been an experience
what a time to be alive and a pc gamer. i loved this era so much. BC and WOTLK were the Diamond-Ages of PC gaming. the games, the community, just everything was awesome. and PC hardware was affordable.
Someone forgot about GWoT.
blame the rise of social media and the retro game market for causing this attitude. legit I want to go back to this era everytime I see these videos.
This is a dark and important post
Man…
Oh I remember receiving my ordered copy a day before and couldn’t even sleep…
But once the servers opened and the intro told me that I’m not prepared, I did realized that indeed **I was not prepared… for the fking lag once entered Outland.**
The good ole days
I miss when MMOs were a big thing. They still are; but they used to be bigger. Everyone; even people who don’t play video games; heard of WOW. I’ve never played it but I feel like I vicariously know about the game from things like the big bang theory that mentioned it constantly as a major pillar of nerd culture. Even my grandma who doesn’t know anything about me, bought two of those physical DLC packs for me for Christmas (wrath of the lich king and something else). Like I said; I didn’t even play the game and my 70-something grandma knew about it like 10 years ago. I had not one but two DLCs for a game I didn’t own, from a grandma I hadn’t seen in years, who didn’t know what video games I play.
I’m not crying, you are!
When American teens were being sent to Iraq to die for non-existent WMDs
Goosebumps. Every time.
For one brief shining moment, feral Druids were OP and not just expected to heal
I have one of the dlc’s for some reason (came with my 2nd hand copy of Warcaft 3), even though I never played. I heard it was amazing!
Oh man the good old days of WoW. Gaming in general just felt like there was so much more love and passion in every game.
Naturally, corporations and shareholders get their hooks into everything and ruin it.
Ahhh, life is gentler with rose-tinted glasses. I was around during this time and for every happy video like this there were dozens of people grabbing, yanking and fighting over shit. These weren’t The Good Ol’ Days this is just CONSOOM.
Before the shareholders took over.
… i dont think i ever got a wow expansion from a physical store
I played this for three days straight with no sleep, minimal meal and bio breaks. The good Ole days.
The conversations in those lines were insane.
Not a scalper in sight, just people buying something they’re excited about
Those halcyon days… I miss the monoculture

2007-2009 peak gaming years
Good thing it wasn’t a PVP event.
When The **Western** World was ~~OK~~ thought they where okay.
We where dupped/did not pay attention to the things that mattered at the time…
