We Were Nostalrius. ⇒
8 May 2016, mid-morning
The next day, my sorrow for the loss of this thing dominated my thinking. I was surprised by how deeply sad it made me to lose this game that I hadn’t picked up in months. Part of me wants to feel embarassed about that, but no. WoW was always more about the people than it was about the game. It was the impetus and the sustenance of many of the most important relationships in my life. I refuse to diminish those relationships by saying that WoW was ‘just a game.’ I couldn’t help but log back in the next day to see the server one final time. To be there for the final hours.
Blizzard shut down the (popular) private World of Warcraft server Nostalrius a month ago.
