Man I miss it like crazy and I frequently think about the lost connection to friends who still play.
I've got too many things to do to get back in, but it kind of stops me from gaming at all because part of the allure is being really invested and really GOOD. There's the UI investment, the research, and just the casual play and chat time... I miss it all.
The guild I was in really kicked off at Cataclysm and we were alliance first for heroic end game (server second) for like 3 xpacs. I quit wow 4 times before it stuck. I started in vanilla in 2005 in college and played until... 2014? Pretty sure my main (and I had 3 characters) had about 370 days in /played.
It lives on a pedestal of gaming and I basically have to leave it sitting there until my family is grown, playing a casual chess game or two instead.
TL;DR: When it comes to games I've got no chill now. Even with casual chess I pay for lessons.
Edit:
As an aside, it's wild to me how many people ITT didnt even raid at all, it's like 1/3+ of the game! That's carving some space for PvP, which was also hella fun back when PvP servers and griefing and casual raids of enemy towns was a thing.
