Packing up my World of Warcraft bags, putting out the campfire near my designated, fiercely guarded floor tile, I bid farewell to Ironforge. I may not pass this way again for many weeks.
Reminds me of the olde days in EverQuest when Planes of Power was released. Almost everything we could want or need was up there, and we had little reason to return to the old world — so we didn’t. It’s no wonder that the younger noobs had no idea how to properly kite the Freeport guards as they hadn’t received the benefit of our unsolicited, and unwelcome, advice. Sloppy kiters, every one of ’em.
Time marches on, even in virtual worlds, and we come to the future of World of Warcraft.
As I’ve posited lately to some of my more panicky guildmates, this will change everything — our raids, our allies, our friends, our guilds, our groups, and our characters.
And that will be good for all of us.
