Asmongold Returns to WoW After Months

man, i started playing wow in 2019 because of zack transmog competitions, that time i was doing my master's degree and living far away from family and by myself for the first time, and his wow lives + playing wow were my favourite things to do in my free time. Seeing him playing wow again brings me a huge feeling of nostalgia

[@lockshabaz1876]

Asmon playing wow is like nostalgic now. Damn we getting old boys

[@harryireland1935]

Very true. That's a big part of missing retail WoW content from him. Those glorious streams of progress and completion, opening boxes, achievements....it's what made him big. There's still a huge audience for retail-WoW for sure. And it doesn't mean he would ditch other games....it would just add content to a group of viewer that have watched him since Legion.

[@TheElderize]

@@harryireland1935 what has he been doing if not wow, been out for a sec

[@harryireland1935]

@@TheElderize Well, as a content-creator he blew up. He's become massive. So that's great. It's just that, the people that were with him from the start and are part of the retail-WoW community are missing WoW gameplay since he completely ditched playing retail-WoW. It's just mostly react content and a variety of other games. Which is completely fine, anyone can decide what to watch or not to watch. But when you entirely stop playing the game that hundreds of thousands of people watched you play for years, there's a disconnect. Judging by the comments, apparently you cannot mention this. Regardless, I'll continue to express supporting a return to retail WoW.

Wouldn't it be crazy if he just started leveling an orc in hardcore. That would be something.

[@nrf82]

I'm playing wow classic for my first experience in the game. I'm impressed by the quality, the depth and the immersion. It's gameplay perfection. I'm also shocked by how slow, difficult and inconvenient is pretty much everything. And I love it just like that. There is commitment in every decision you take and that hooks you. I don't get that feeling from hardly any game nowadays.

[@yurilopes420]

"slow difficult and inconvenient" is my middle name now that i got back to terraria lmao everything in that game is so time consuming, and ive never played wow in my life but i agree with asmon's sentiment that you have to play wow (or terraria) half afk to enjoy it

[@AMightyStorm]

I wish I could experience the game from a fresh new player perspective again. Enjoy!

wow's glory days are long past and the entire mmo genre is in decay. plus the leveling experience without heirlooms (look it up if you dont know what those are) is terrible on purpose to encourage new players to pay for level boosts. youre better off playing literally anything else

If you think it's only steamers who game all day then you probably need a reality check.

It is a tournament created by streamers to make content for streamers. But you still get to participate and at least have a shot at a prize or a little fame with any upset win. Maybe just enjoy a little extra content while playing with grace.
