I honestly don't think about it a ton. I think about Everquest more than WoW. I set up my own Everquest server once upon a time and had a bunch of fun being alone on a server with custom settings.

I did read about hosting my own private WoW server, and I might do that. I'm normally a single player gamer type except when playing with my wife. Had her try WoW and she didn't care for it. We are currently playing Satisfactory together.

I had mostly played WoW because my bro played (10 yrs older) and wanted to hang with him. We did, it was a lot of fun. I was in his guild and made some temporary friends. Went on a date with one of them. It didn't work out.

I do remember spending way too much time playing it. It felt like sometimes I waited more in game than played. I don't really miss it though. I have a large steam backlog I'm working my way happily through.
