This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Is Barons chat still and endless spam of people asking for the location of Mankrik's wife?
I play alliance, so I'm spared that.
But back in the day, the horde side had an over-representation of edgie teenagers. Now almost everyone is adult, most with kids and many old and retired like me. So you on't see as much of that stuff as before.
I remember noobs being called Kevins (bc lots of kids were named kevin after that kid in the movie "home alone" IIRC) and were like 13 yo and all over the place.
Good times!
I started playing in early 2005; I was in my 40s and far older than most of the people playing. I kept playing the expansions through 2017, then quit until fall 2024. Came back to The War Within and played for a while, but they've dumbed the retail version down so much, it just doesn't feel like it has any soul.
Tried classic early last year and I'm having a blast, even with all it's issues. But the funny thing is that most of the people are the age I was when I started, and many are older. Hardly any teenagers. It's funny how much it changes the game.
Ha ha yeah classic was really fun, got all the way up to the big raids and all, reliving the excitement once again.
