Anyone that ditched WoW back in 2007 or so, or any other long running MMORPG for 8+ years, and never looked at it again can experience something very close to that by just logging back in.

Running through Classic with my group of high school friends was pretty damn magical. We all played together at launch and it was pretty much all we talked about between classes. We had all drifted away through the years with other responsibilities, but WoW brought us back together.

We don't play WoW anymore, but now we all hang out in discord all of the time and play other stuff. A few of us are setting aside time for Baldurs Gate 3 now!

The games themselves have changed, but I think it's the friends that can bring me back to a different time.
