I know what you mean - I just have a soft spot for WOW. It really provides the escapism I needed during a difficult time in my life. It was good escapism, though. Instead of just TV and Books, I could check out of the real world and Into WOW and still talk to people, be semi social, and just forget about the fact that I had just lost one of my parents. It was sufficiently active, complicated, social and distracting. That alternate world really helped me.

Full confession: after a few years I had never actually made endgame. I had a lot of characters that were close, but I never had the “efficient play” strategy down enough to really power level any characters.
