World of Warcraft: Forever launches, reimagining 2004 Azeroth
My wow forever experience so far: Load into Mulgore, see it with the new weather and lighting, sob uncontrollably for half an hour, give the game a 5 star review.
Shad, Telekinetic2Atmosphere, Chef Kiss. Socializing, Chef Kiss. Slower Pace and not hounded by FOMO systems, CHEF FUCKING KISS. Actually able to play with friends and not feel like a lobby game based in warcraft setting, CHEF FUCKING KISS.
IOSA Research Lab1Five stars from YouTube viewers too, it seems. Xaryu's "WoW Forever Had the BEST Launch I've Ever Seen" was in YouTube's Most Popular in the UK, Canada, Sweden and Denmark on 5 Nov: 204,762 views on day 1. Mulgore in the rain is worth a few tears.
candlelit gravebird 🕯️🐦⬛1I didn't realize till I started WoWF just *how* fast-paced retail is. I've been playing more or less the whole time and it's jarring going back to our roots. Also: yes. I just stood in the rain for like twenty minutes.
Can I be a little mean for a sec? I'm gonna be fr, like 95% of the complaints I have seen about WoW Forever make me completely convinced that modern gaming has caused some people's brains to rot out their ears.
Ser Shotbuns, Lady Knight26This applies to most older, slower-paced MMORPGs honestly. Your Runescape 2, your Final Fantasy XI, your Everquest. There is joy to be found there. There's engagement to be found with old mechanics. And not everything has to be a frantic, furious rush to the endgame.
🌸 Rinienna 🌸Succubussy Dragon Streamer3I've been so burned out from FFXIV cause I'm so tired of meaninglessly pressing buttons. The buttons don't mean anything to me anymore. The content doesn't really mean anything to me anymore. I wanna be lost in a world again and have something to really engage with and appreciate, not rush through.
Ellie (✨Professional Yapper✨)3I won't lie I had my assumptions that it was just going to be WoW Classic with just HD textures but its actually just been a nice change of pace. I've actually grouped up with super chill people while questing since starting it. And its a nice time killer until EC + a nice bit of nostalgia.
"The Crimson Mercenary"2Folks are too quick to get to the destination without the journey. I know I am in the mindset that I dislike leveling but I do enjoy the story beats and slow roll to build up. I am prob not going to play just due to a disdain of WoW due to my past but I enjoy hearing everyone's experience.
Lady Anastasia White2Naw, like, You're right. If you're engaging the game for what it is, and you understand what each quest is trying to do, you generally have a better time. Was playing w/ someone I met day 1 & I said "Don't grind boar livers. kill boars on the way to other quests" And suddenly, they weren't so bad
