I recently was thinking about how long I’ve been playing the game, and I’m curious about you lot.
I haven’t done an official /playtime in a while, but this year being the 10th anniversary of A Realm Reborn, I recall my days and nights early in 2013 playing the beta tests on my PS3. At the time, I was living with a friend of mine, and we had two TVs in the living room going as we got our temporary characters up to level 20 over a weekend only for those characters to be wiped out.
But it was fun running through that early game, learning the systems, getting reminded why leaving WoW was a good idea (not a single person asked about my DPS! …in maybe my whole time in this game, actually.).
So after ten years of playing my favorite little Lala, I look forward to seeing where this story goes from here.
How about you all? What’s your story?
I’ve been playing on and off since Stormblood. I made my account before Shadowbringers came out, though I only ended up actually beating ARR after the Shadowbringers hype bubbled up and got me to give the game another shot. I’ve been playing regularly since. When I type it out, it doesn’t seem that long, but it felt like a long time while playing it! I’m super emotionally invested in the game at this point.
