Mostly I find the idea of going back these days just baffling, I mean sure we're all mostly closer to our graves then our births and I could understand wanting to try and reclaim some seemingly brighter time from the past even as the time you have left slips inexorable through your fingers and how regardless of your personal circumstances, everything seems to be moving the the wrong direction, that times before seemed better in ways that can't solely be chalked up to one's own youth and the future seems to be slipping into chaos in ways you're powerless to slow and wonder how much is the fault of the older generation still clinging to the levers of power in a way no other generation before ever has and how much is to be blamed on your own complacency but why would you want to spend your time playing an old MMO?
Actually, nevermind.
