The Strength in World of Warcraft Community Bonds

Great article. I have loved playing WoW for many years. Also, "Non-gamers don’t always understand." this couldn't be more true, haha. You should totally check out the newest game of GM Showcase if you haven't already. I run a game set in a World of Warcraft setting gmshowcase.podbean.com/

I have had very much the same experience, but in Lord of the Rings Online. There was a group I joined about halfway through my time in that game, and the Leader and I became very good friends. We would clear fights that no Loremaster and Burglar should have been able to clear, but we did. There was also a fight to take down the Lt. of Dol Guldur in Mirkwood, and at the beginning of the Raid was something we called "The Gauntlet", I was the main tank for most raids and something about me leading a group of 12 people into a horde of orcs and goblins was something I will always miss. We would start off my playing Motley Crue's "Kickstart my heart" and then leading up to ACDC's "Shoot to thrill" to pump us all up, and those two songs were just the right duration to finish the gauntlet in time. I miss those days.
