I’ve seen statistics about how many people are playing each class in Season of Discovery, but no one tracking what I’m really curious about: is this is largest percentage of characters with gray hair… ever? I’m seeing a lot of old humans in the Eastern Kingdoms. It’s a vibe that fits returning players, I guess.

We ran Deadmines on Monday night for the first time in many years. Compared to more recent instance groups it was a longer, slower, cinematic experience, the sort that cemented my love for this game and has been completely impossible during twelve years of having young children waking unpredictably. I’m cautiously celebrating a return of my ability to concentrate on something for a couple of hours. Maybe it’s safe to start writing and painting again.

I took the boat over the check out the world pvp event in Ashenvale. I enjoy open-world things because I can nose around and figure out the mechanics without taking a spot away from someone more qualified. On my first few trips out, I saw no horde players at all.
