After an ungodly amount of game time and a battle.net account that’s as old as my eldest child, I’ve come to the following insights;
- Its just like any other form of entertainment, it can suck you in as well as a Game of Thrones season and leave you crying after you die in a major content raid (or nerf), depending on which side of the fence you stand on.
- Mike Morheim knows how to run a company. Over 20 years (including Silicon and Synapse) of taking my parents money as well as a majority of my working career’s fruit.
- Chris Metzen on the other hand needs to take a huge hit of new inspiration as we’re still waiting on what he’s got in store for us in regards to new content or this “Project Titan” they had us sold on before any news went out. And no i hope it wasn’t Heroes of the Storm.
- I’m over 4 lvl 90’s and a couple of lvl 100’s, and i still find it hard to disconnect.
- Community driven events and activities are what made this game. And to this day, you can still jump in as a newbie and enjoy its population. At one time it had the same size as a small country with over 11 million monthly subscribers.
- I’d still bug my buddies to try this game out. Its old, but if you play it for the first time, it can still compete toe to toe with the latest titles out there. Albeit it’ll need some sort of engine overhaul soon. Or… ahem.. Project Titan *cough* *cough*
- Kung-Fu Pandas… lots of em.
- The internet has tons of info on this topic. Its pretty easy to find what you need to enjoy the game in detail from guilds to farming patterns.
In any case, i’m down to my last few days of the 10 year run. Its been good, but let’s see if its still got some kick next expansion eh?
