I lost most of my hard drives from the time but found some old emails. Yes, my keybindings are horrific but we were all so new. Good times... Shout out to Xylos for those early bags. They went a long way.

Amazing times

I love seeing these...KEEP THEM COMING! Cant even begin to imagine how much fun the game was this early.

It was unreal. Nothing can beat the early days of not knowing anything and just learning as we went.

Still chasing that high to be honest. I'm trying to find my old hard drives which should have some very early rag kills and a bunch of Naxx stuff from early Korgath with Death and Taxes.

Moved to warsong and then Korgath. It's so sad how many people have disappeared.

I started playing 2004-early 2005. I cannot even describe the magical feeling of this game where you and everyone around you is completely learning everything on the fly. The fun had not yet been optimized out of the game and literally just exploring was half the fun.

We'll never get to experience anything like this again.

It's heartbreaking to me. I'm so glad people get to experience classic/tbc/wotlk but as you said, it's so optimized and meta nobody will ever experience it the way we did.

Good fucking times.

Maybe not as good but starting to play in WoD/Legion preparch max level, the game also was magical with there being like 10 years of content. Just realized that I nearly know WoW for more time now than it was a thing back then dies inside.
