Western gaming deserves better.

@WonderedOff Definitely. It was a whole deeper experience. Made you really live the world

[𝐏𝐚𝐱 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 @Loidrin]

I love that Morrowind had NO quest markers.

The journal: go east, cross the bridge, find the tower. Good luck.

We found it. Often via a tomb full of ghosts.

Then an exec read the playtests:
- players got lost
- players had fun anyway

Can't have that. Paint the ledges yellow.

@somebodytweetz @AteoGaming That’s what I fear too

[𝐏𝐚𝐱 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 @Loidrin]

At its peak, World of Warcraft had more than 12 million people paying every month to live in the same world. By 2014, over 100 million accounts had been created. In 7 days it comes back as WoW: Forever.

Retail turned into a second job. Weekly vault, a rating to keep up, and the fear that skipping a week leaves you behind. You queue from a city, run the dungeon with four strangers, and they leave without a word.

WoW was a game you played because you liked being there, whenever you had a free evening. A stranger helped you with an elite quest in Stranglethorn, and a week later you were in his guild. You spent Friday nights together wiping in Molten Core with 39 people you had never met, and some of them became real friends, the kind you later met in person. Whole servers spent months hauling copper bars and bandages to Ironforge and Orgrimmar so the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj would open. Guilds stormed Orgrimmar to kill Thrall and Stormwind to kill Bolvar, and half the server dropped what they were doing to defend their city.

It was more than just a game.
It was an entire world, populated with real people playing in it.

That's the game I want back on November 4.

@shk890656210459 Couldn’t agree more

@StilvollJan One more week 🫡

[𝐏𝐚𝐱 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 @Loidrin]

Things I want from a $70 game in 2026:

- it works on day one
- I actually own it
- no battle pass
- no "we hear you" tweet three weeks after launch

@GigabearForever @WoWForeverMemes Dream job

@TheRingsofPower The garbage you make couldn’t be further away from Middle-Earth

@Warcraft Seven days until grown men start calling in sick to kill boars in Durotar. Nature is healing.

[𝐏𝐚𝐱 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 @Loidrin]

@AteoGaming OSRS proved it can work. Let’s hope Blizzard has the sense to leave what makes Classic good alone.

@WarHamster40000 Being diagnosed as Swedish for not talking in a dungeon is hilarious

[𝐏𝐚𝐱 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 @Loidrin]

@riner91 And somehow we still found time to level alts.

@TheQuestBroski Nintendo 64 was my first console, I can relate.

I’ve just started dragon quest 1 remake waiting the 4th

[𝐏𝐚𝐱 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 @Loidrin]

@SonOfZeusApollo Same.

I’d rather see difficulty scale naturally within the raid than have separate versions of the same content.

[𝐏𝐚𝐱 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 @Loidrin]

@TheQuestBroski I barely understood English when I first played Morrowind, but I was completely blown away by it.

Half the time I had no idea what I was supposed to do, so I just wandered around trying to make sense of the world.

Somehow that made it even more fascinating.

[𝐏𝐚𝐱 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 @Loidrin]

@TheQuestBroski Pure Vibe

The fog in Silent Hill was a trick to hide what the PS1 couldn't draw.

On PS2 they could render much more. Team Silent kept the fog anyway.

Your radio crackles. Something's out there. You can't see five feet.

A hardware limit became the scariest thing in the game. They cooked.

[𝐏𝐚𝐱 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 @Loidrin]

@GigabearForever Protect them at all cost, they are our only hope

@screenrant Is this satire?

[Michael @BellularGaming]

Likes being private is fun. People who otherwise wouldn’t like a post like this (blizzard people) can.

Ofc, I would never, ever, leak such a thing.

Just funny. The reflexive Blizzard defenders don’t know how much strife and discontent there is in the company.
