I fondly remember my wow days and friends. But it doesn't fit into my life any more. It's too all-consuming. Plus, it feels less like an adventure and more like a theme park. Everything is so tidy and precise with carefully measured dopamine hits at regular intervals.

There's no getting back the things I'm nostalgic for. Even if all the people came back and I got back into my guild, I have kids and obligations. I don't want my kids to hear me say something like I can't attend their play because it's raid night, or watch me rush to finish daily quests before bed like any of that shit matters.

I'm still casual friends with some of the folks I met through wow. But I'm done with it.
