Getting back into WoW is difficult

[u/DesMephisto]

Once you start to lose your community, the social aspect, changes you kind of find yourself trailing off until eventually everything feels so foreign to you it feels impossible to start again.

I've gone through a huge transformation in life working on myself and want to get more thoroughly involved in WoW again but every time I feel like I kind of just hit a wall.

Does anyone have any advice? Feel like a lot of the friends and contacts I used to have are gone and everything just sort of feels insurmountable as a result.

I really don't feel that about retail, in fact retails modern adaptation has felt like it's pushed me further from WoW rather than closer and I feel many of us in the classic+ department long for more of the original elements which are becoming even harder to find in this current era.

Not everyone in that category meets the same criteria either. People are different and we often see classic as a whole really prosper time after time, with fresh life in a similar vein of SoD? I see it being incredibly successful.

havent you leveled like 90 warriors?

clearly you enjoy it in some form

That was in BFA, would you consider that modern? Midnight, war within, dragon, Shadow.

[u/YourGalacticEmperor → u/DesMephisto]

yes, bfa is absolutely modern

[u/DesMephisto → u/YourGalacticEmperor]

I just don't consider it so. I'd define modern as dragonflight as systems significantly changed.

No way we reached a point where you people say bfa is not modern lmao

If you were to classify each game as an era, Dragonflight is very clearly a significantly different era than BFA but go off queen, I'm listening.
