It’s that time of the year when a new World of Warcraft expansion is out and I feel like starting to play it again, because “maybe this is the right time”

Then I’d found 1000 new currencies / factions, lots of guild gatekeeping and I’d feel utterly overwhelmed, again.

I did that for the latest expansion, I’d probably do this for The War Within. Sigh.

    @innkeeper@gamerstavern.online It pains me greatly to say it, but I really think my MMO days are behind me at this point. They just no longer “hit” like they used to. 🤷‍♂️

      @DoubleAA @innkeeper I have the same issue and still, I keep on hoping every year to find an MMO that will “hit” me again as much as it did when I was in my teens. 😂

      I think this is majorly our nostalgia… *hoping*.

        I think I’ll try Throne and Liberty, if that one won’t scratch the itch I’ll probably get back to WoW, but what @DoubleAA said is right. MMOs aren’t sticking with me anymore (or I’m not sticking with them anymore)

          @innkeeper@gamerstavern.online @DoubleAA@mstdn.games I’ve never liked WoW :/ But do share what you think about ToL when you get to play it.

    @innkeeper@gamerstavern.online (Un)fortunately, I am too emotionally invested in the story that I can never fully walk away. I will say, so far, I have been presently surprised. Ran my main through the campaign, which is good. Now I am playing with new specs on my alts and profession farming while waiting for LFR. Current end game zone is pleasantly grindable. The 20th anniversary festivities look pretty nice too. Tier 2 gear revamps, reworked raids and dungs.

      @doom_biscuit@mstdn.party Oh boy, I completely forgot about the 20th anniversary (and to think I got the game D1 😅 )

      Would you say this new expansion is better and/or simpler than Dragonflight?

        @innkeeper@gamerstavern.online Definitely better. There are only a few currencies to start, and they give you breadcrumb quests to figure out how to use them. The zones are way more lived in with distinct culture and feel.

    @innkeeper@gamerstavern.online They did a lot of QOL stuff that I very much appreciated. Haven’t got to endgame yet, but so far, I’m enjoying it more than Dragonflight.
