I played WoW a bit after its initial release through the first couple xpacs. Getting the MMO itch again, but I know the WoW I grew up with doesn’t really exist anymore, so now I’m pretty out of touch.

For those of you playing / recently played an MMO, which one? How’s the community? How’s the lore? Gameplay in pve/pvp/rvr?

    Actually the wow you know does exist, they’re called Classic servers and have a huge community.

    But I stick to retail servers, wow has come a long way and I think it’s the most fun it’s ever been nowadays.

    To each their own tho.

      Season of Discovery for WoW classic also looks really interesting. It was just announced and is starting soon I think!

        It actually does look super interesting! Like I said, I’m not really into the classic servers, but that Season just might get me. It looks like it can be really fun with the right crowd.

      If the server allows wow tokens then no, the wow op knew doesn’t exist anymore. Wow tokens killed guilds and much of the end point of it.

        I think you’re kinda missing the forest for the trees, my friend. The game is still there.

        Yeah, many guilds have died along the way. That just kinda happens. Join a new one, there are shit loads of 'em.

          I’m not missing anything having experienced it both in the original time and now. People mostly no longer play it for the fun of it at end game, they have to “make everything worth their time” because the experience itself isn’t enough for them anymore.

          That makes it a very different overall experience to play and not the same game at all. It’s very toxic in fact like a lot of modern multiplayer games can be these days unfortunately.
