I am at a point when I'm too old and too adult for this... I tried classic and BC classic, I was raiding heavily, but after a while, having to progress until 2AM took it's toll... I almost deleted a nationwide store's database, because I was too tired. I put down the game after that and that was a very dark day. I grew up with WoW... at 2004 i was 16... the perfect age group with the perfect amount free time in high school. I was 31 when classic came out, the perfect age group with less free time and more money to be able to buy things.... Now i'm 35 and my reflexes and amount of energy is not the same.... Farewell dear friend... I wish there would be a "softcore" classic server to carebears and old people like me... with a 2-3 time xp multipliers and a 0.75 - 0.5 multiplier on enemy damage, so raids are faster and easier. You can shunn me, but I would be back in a heartbeat with a year long subscription and many of my friends who are in the same age bracket has the same issue

I never understood people who say they don’t have enough time for games, I work 9 hours a day and I spend almost 8 hours playing games after work lol, though I am alone so maybe that’s why 😂. But I wouldn’t change it for the world, I live for games… and anime

[@fatherdoctor]

​@@BurnttBurritoWell... I need to adult. A crowded day: 6AM to 2PM work, then grocery store and cook lunch and eat, about 1 hour, 3PM-4PM, mandatory excercise, usually cycling (I'm 35 programmer I need to move a little) then about 1-2 hours of family time, with SO and our parrot. Now it is 6PM, making dinner eating it. 7PM Now I have time to play... about 2 hours, since I need to go to bed 9PM to wind down and get that 8 hour sleep. 6AM back at it. AND since i'm working form home, I'm lucky i don't need to count 1-2 hour commute. AND I haven't done any cleaning or laundry... and haven went to visit my mother etc etc etc.... If you say that 1-2 hour of WoW is enough to do anything, you lie. I have time on the weekend, by then I usually beat and I don't have the energy and the drive to play.

[@BurnttBurrito]

​@@fatherdoctor nah 1-2 hours is plenty, i thought you meant like no time at all. but if you think wow is hard to play with limited hours try playing Rust on an official server lol good luck with that, at least with wow you can have fun doing it, in rust you die like 20 times before you get a rhythm then by then you got 10 minutes left lmao. but I buy my grocerys in bulk for that exact reason so i dont have to waste time getting stuff again, then i probably sleep 6-7 hours a day so i can fit some extra hours into gamin, but i understand you have family and stuff to take care of. Like i said, it probably helps that i am alone lol. and yeah having a drive to game is def a core into actually playing. sometimes i dont play for a month then ill hop back on and pull a 24 hour 3 days in a row.

Honestly, this is actually a pretty spot on fantastic guide for new players. The perfect amount of information without going overboard, a few light jokes and sarcasm to keep it interesting, and pretty accurate descriptions of the classes and differences between Retail and Classic. Oh, and it’s also narrated by Moocluck, which just makes it infinitely better! 😅

[@StandStrong614]

This says absolutely nothing that they actually need to know to play the game. If you are new just understand that you will never be invited to a raid or pvp group unless you have real life friends playing. You won't have the achievements or gear score to ever get started.

[@defuse56]

Hey, around 08:49 you mentioned that you are old. Me too-- 70 to be exact. I know what you mean about a more relaxed pace in classic! My kids like to make fun of me for reading through all the quests, doing side quests for the more low-stakes interactions with the NPC locals, who are often a lot of fun--sort of whimsical and kooky. I often wonder how many other casuals are age 60 and above. WoW is great fun, and it has so many ways to play that there's something for everyone, even old farts like me. Thanks for posting!

No joke. The game isn't what it once was. Such a shame. They spent all this time and effort crafting an interesting experience, then even more time and effort reviving it for classic, and then they let you pay them to ruin it (in the form of boosts and char transfers). If they had a cash shop to buy all the bis pieces, people would use it, and then it would kill the game. That would just be a faster version of what they've already done IMO. The game is basically dead at this point, no reason to start now.

[@Aiphares]

one Problem with the Scaling in Retail for newer players: New players are forced into Exiles Reach and from there HAVE to level in BFA content where they are often confused as to who is who. Chromie is not unlocked until you got your first lvl 60 char. (edit 5months after: this finally got patched - chromie is now unlocked from the start) So you are forced into BFA. If you however go to other zones they will only scale until their original level. so WoD only scales to 35, BC only to 30 etc

[@frtzkng]

Also you're called champion or ambassador or speaker, and wonder if the whole faction has huffed gasoline because they put some rando who didn't exist half an hour ago in charge of their entire army

[@nicolasalvarado6422]

The fact about Chromi is real? I just started playing wow 3 days ago. A friend guided me the first day and the first thing that he asked me to do was visit chromi and go to WOTLK content to lvl up faster. (And no, I don't have a lvl 60 character, I just bought the epic dragonflight edition that gives me a lvl 60 token, but I don't have a lvl character yet).

[@Aiphares]

hi! @@nicolasalvarado6422 Turns out enough people complained during the last 4 months that it was changed in the last patch and chromie is now unlocked from the start =)

[@TracinyaLachance]

Yep, hard agree there. I haven't played WoW since the early days of Cataclysm (I think I might have poked my nose in for parts of Warlords of Draenor too, but I have pretty much no memories of it), and coming back to it, it's really a confusing experience. I started questing, and then suddenly out of nowhere an NPC mentions that Teldrassil got burned, they're all really angry, revenge quest??? or something... And I'm just sitting there wondering wtf is going on, considering I just went to Teldrassil and it looked pretty much exactly how I remembered it, so what gives?

[@omgitzirsku9920]

Im hella late to this. But for me i wanna be raider, only thing what sucks that i feel like its long journey. Toxic people rly bums me down. Im trying my hardest to learn to be tank, but i never receive any pointers etc. Its always, i suck, im this im that. So im rly wondering if i have it in me to see it through. I like this game alot and wanna rly get into it. Regardless i do have good memories, one time i was doing dungeons and i got full team of first timers, at that point i was the most experienced player, so i was nervous to take a lead. We did beat the dungeon after few deaths. It was legit moment for me that i felt proud of em. They were rdy to give up cuz they felt bad. So actually seeing them beating the their first dungeon made me sort of "proud leader"

Addons are always nice for classic to make the experience feel less clunky. There is even a VoiceOver mod now that uses AI to do voiceovers of almost all questing dialogue making the leveling experience feel more immersive. It even takes in the race of the person speaking for the voice.

As a casual player who started wow just last year from my experience its a very difficult game to figure out, mainly for me it was trying to follow a story and just being thrown into the world and not knowing what quests were story progression and which are side quests since they all look the same and there are thousands of them (except for shadowlands, and dragonflight they are marked) having never played an mmo before i went in expecting something similar to skyrim or a similar single player rpg with other people running around, i was wrong lol. But if you can stick with it, mechanics slowly become easier to figure out and there is so much lore and places to discover its awesome. I would suggest not rushing through to end game and have fun leveling through the different expansions and learning how to play your character.

[@jani14jani]

My main advice for players who are thinking of starting wow is to answer this question. Do you want to join a guild, are you willing to find a guild of like minded people? If the answer is no, i would not start wow.

[@cattysplat]

WoW is full of automated and manual ways of playing with other players without requiring a formal guild. You don't need to be like minded to join an informal guild either, just a social chat room to talk whilst playing is fun.

[@jani14jani]

​@@cattysplat My comment is directed at casual players. Not for those who spend multiple hours a day gaming. Classic end game without a guild: - GDKPs, You either have to spend hours upon hours to farm gold or RMT - Very gate keeped content even when the game is easy - Dalaran que simulator Retail end game without a guild: - Retails end game is better for a "solo" player than classic but pugging still lots of the time is filled with toxic folks be it M+ or Solo shuffle. If that's what you like then go ahead. Most of that can be prevented by joining a guild with like minded people who have similar goals in WOW etc...
