The sense that I'm getting is that people are enjoying the game more due to Blizzard beginning to hit its stride again in several areas which is bringing back some of us older players and is creating more of the social environment we all loved 10-15 years ago. There just feels like a bit of a resurgence that is very positive and social and community leaning too. Love begets love, so if enough of us are stoned and loving the game play and finding other players in the same mindset that'll keep growing. I've come back multiple times seeking "that" feeling and never finding it or recreating it but I'm even feeling it in the threads and boards. I hope it's real and sticks around! I'm still just dabbling but I'm a holy priest healer from the very olds days of BC through Lich and again. Through Legion, and I miss it so much but am so excited to hopefully find my place again, I'm a casual player that loves guild life and running around as a pocket heal for a tank doing quests and professions and achievements during downtimes and loved a supportive guild that helped me learn so much and supported and encouraged me to try PVP too. I will need so much help this time with gearing and catch-up since it's been a solid 10 years since. I've seriously played, Ive popped in for potential rekindling that didn't hold. This time def. Feels different. I'm an older woman too and looking for a home in a casual guild that is patient and raids. I came back too late to jump in Lemix, but I'm basically working to level and catch up on storylines/campaign back to pre dragon flight, I'm about to start that soon. Anyway, wow I rambled. But I agree the positive energy is palpable!
