2 years back I was obsessed with Warcraft games and completed all the levels too. Whenever I faced problems clearing levels I used cheat codes
Cool
I don’t play it anymore but I got to level 70 (which were the best level back then)
But it’s a game that’ll never stop, if blizzard don’t want it to :p
That’s pretty crazy.. Thank you very much for reading and commenting Writing4Angels!
