I quit Warcraft last year, I think the last time I played Warcraft was near the Burning Crusade expansion release or a little bit afterwards, I was going through so much stuff in my life that I just didn't have the time to play, in addition that I had a 56k modem connectivity so the game play was always a laggy experience. Because of that and other reasons I had to return the account to the original owner, who eventually got hooked up again and leveled up his old character to level 70 on the expansion.
After quitting Warcraft I started collecting video game consoles (I started with a PS2, then a Genesis and so on) and its something I am still obssessed with I already got most of the consoles I wanted and many fo the games.. they are still a few I want but DAMN those collectors prices. With these video game consoles I never get bored but.... do I get totally satisfied? See, that I loved from Warcraft is that there were now rules, you just entered the world and do whatever you want, that could be either terrorrize other opposed faction towns (I recommend a couple of high levels to go with), farm some instances for money, dedicate yourself to your profession and look for the materials to execute it, play in battlegrounds, help people level up, dance for money, get drunk, manage a guild, everything! That is waht I loved from the world of Azeroth, you could do everything and many of your actions could be remembered through time..because other peopel are playing in the same world and they are witness of your actions.
My character name is Unbroken (a interesing fact is that couple Months after I quit Warcraft a novel related to the game was published named Unbroken, brutal!) and when I started I was a member of couple of guilds along with some friends until I decided to make my own THE OATH, and in that guild is where I had the best experiences, friends tell me that to this day, they still see members of the guild roaming around, and I think that is amazing because that guild is over 2 or 3 years old and I do remember that I passed my leadership some weeks before quitting and I remember I told them... "'till the end".. I guess they took it seriously. In that guild we were a fucking family I can still recall many of the members,Broken (my ingame brother and real life friend Rodrigo) Varsen (who I met after one year of me not playing), Noemi, Loughlin, Jaderis, Zamuck, Kistel (from costa rica!), Bluekiller, Kongar, Meangreen, and my closests friends Chivo (Jolge) and Cruroar (Carli) who both later on became members of the best Horde Guild in Gilneas RAID INC. In fact I found and old address of the guild's website... look for yourself:

I could write a book about all the experiences we had on the guild, like helping each other out, escorting a low level friend friend from the oppossed faction across the world without being killed, (I had guild members meet him at different check points around the world then we would rotate by using friendly transports in sea and air since he couldn't use them), it was amazing, eventually when that character leveled became our enemy and I remember I planned and ambush on his group on a trench in the Shimmering Flats near Tanaris... total destruction, its funny the same people that helped him...destroyed him..I dont regret it.
I really had my fun in warcraft, until people started to get greedy farming for items and leaving for other end level guilds, and I started to have less time to paly and couldn't keep up... so that was it for me.
Until couple weeks ago... In last years Christmas gift exchange at my work place Moira gave me a World of Warcarft game. In hte mean time I was using the borrowed account in which my character was leveled up, so I ddn't ahd to use the game she game, I even tried to sell it on a Flea Market... but no success, so last week I decided to open it and install it, started leveling up a character..but its like wow... it took me 9 months to level mine at my own pace... so I think I am not up for that again. But guess what? The account where my original cahrater was wasnt activated so I asked for it back and..wallah! Unbroken lives again.
The game changed a lot, I needed help from Chivo (who is making a comeback too) to get use to some of the new stuff, and wow..it really changed.. now people go through level 60 as if nothing till to level 70, so they miss all the fun stuff a 60 could get. So now when people see me or Chivo (who agreed to stay 60 for life...who knows thou) tell us we are old school, because we have gears and items 60 get a year ago. We have old school moves and gear and attitude in the battlegrounds... here I can prove it... a converstation that happend when I rescued a post on an old fashioned reckless warrior way (also using a viking helmet from the Lost vikings in which charged and stunned the first opponent only availbe through farming an instance people ignore nowadays). Here it goes:
I know to other people its stupid..but it is cool when people recognize you, it means that they remember my actions...so my game play gets immortalized for the moment hehehe.. oh fuck it was jsut cool.
I dont regret getting back to this game, it is jsut fun and I get satisfied in a way other games that cant even thou taht they can be really good games it jsut doesnt trigger that geek/nerd inside of me who always wanted to be a hero...
Merry Christmas
