Eight years out, old WoW muscle memory still has claws in me
I haven't touched WoW in over 8 years and thought that part of my brain was cooked and gone. Apparently not. So much so that I'm doing crazy combos like:
- Shift + 3 to change bars
- Shift + F for instant summon buff
- 3 to summon my demon
I came back and as soon as the rust was gone my fingers were moving on their own. It's so crazy how different it all feels but also the same and I remember why I spend over 9,000 hours of my life in it the first time round. I'm streaming to record everything that's changed and so far it's a lot of little things everywhere. I'm hoping my fingers can carry me back to rank 1 parses and satiate my achievement hunting nature.
So if you’re one of those MMO fossils who misses the feeling more than the grind, that’s basically what I’m doing. I've also got the day off work so the next 5 hours are mine and I'm excited to tell someone about it!
Anyone else got crazy key binds or similar muscle memory situations.
Also in before "Just get an MMO mouse". I ain't got the fingers nor the $ to support that kind of stuff while I support my family.
