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.
