There are many reasons why someone would play an old game they played a long time ago. I'm curious if any escapists popped in an old game just to revisit a particular location they miss like a town, dungeon, open world, vehicle, whatever.
I played Wold of Warcraft many years ago, and a couple years ago found myself actually wanting to walk around some of the old towns I frequented, I signed up for a month just to explore and tinker around a bit. I was quite surprised that since the expansions I missed, some of the most bustling towns were now nearly deserted. It was quite jarring, kind of felt like turning down a street you used to play on to find the neighborhood a shambles.
I haven't played since before cataclysm and I'm curious just to play for a month to have a look around. This got me thinking about some other games I would want to play just to revisit a location. Some came to mind, like the ROLF's home town in Phantasy Star II, the Turtle Village in Golden Axe, some Quake II multiplayer maps, I'm sure I can think of others.
So, anyone ever visit a virtual stomping ground?
