I used to play about 10 years ago. I miss it. Not sure I can bear to start all over again and not sure my PC is up to it.

I got a bit put off by other players being twats in a dungeon I was in. I'm not very good at it Blush I levelled very slowly up to 60 something but I understand the level cap is now 110! Does anyone else play?

I play occasionally mainly by myself though, grinding rep etc rather than big massive raids :)

Have played since launch but only iRobot play about an hour a week now.

There are still twats In dungeons but they are so quick now it’s easy to finish and move on to the next one

The beauty of group finder is if people are dicks you can just leave and find a new group 🙂

Hi I played on a fairly regular basis about 10 years ago too, was a healer for my guild though we weren't that hardcore with the raids. I now have two kids, working and studying part time.

I logged on this week for the first time in 6 months as I quite like the fire festival event (sad I know!) but my days of logging on regularly are now over I think. I do get what you mean re other players being teats - can't be bothered with the dungeon aspect of it now tbh x

Towerofjoyless · 26/06/2018 16:57

Or twats, even!

I play everyday on world Of Warcraft Draenor realm horde side I have done for 10 years. I have toyed with the idea of giving up but it's my only hobby.

Did you know there is a new expansion coming in August?

YouTheCat · 26/06/2018 16:58

I have just restarted after a 2 year gap. Love it.

I'm almost 110 on my DK but am rather enjoying levelling a pally - at 48 currently.

NewGrandad · 26/06/2018 16:59

Been back playing for a few months now. Not very good and playing by myself. My rogue night elf is up at #103 where I've left him parked. My human tank is progressing slowly in the mid 70s.

Don't do dungeons or raids just grinding away.

Neverender · 26/06/2018 16:59

My DH plays and she's 73. I think she's a very high level and 11yr olds from Sweden are in awe of her. She has a beautiful mount!

ForTheLoveOfSleep · 26/06/2018 17:00

Regular player here. Have been since original release.

Buying the latest expansion pre-release (Battle for Azeroth) gives you a free character level boost to 110.

GinDoll · 26/06/2018 17:00

Me too. I used to but stopped when it became consuming. Would love to play again but not sure I can trust myself Grin

RibenaMonsoon · 26/06/2018 17:02

I've played for years. I prefer PVP to dungeons and raids nowadays as I have a 2 year old and cannot commit to guild raiding any more. I still love it. I play on dreanor for horde and terenas for alliance.

Maybe worth giving it a try for a month and if you aren't keen, cancel the subscription.

Thatssomebadhatharry · 26/06/2018 17:04

God I miss wow and my tiger. :( I used to be completely obsorbed into it was like being there.

SilverDoe · 26/06/2018 17:04

I’m so excited to see a WoW thread on here!! Grin

I’ve been logging in and out sporadically and have levelled a Priest healer to 110, and did quite a few LFRs.

I haven’t logged in in a few months now (working, 2 small children) but I do love it (as well as Overwatch). If you buy the newest expansion (well there is a new one coming out in August too!) then you get a boost to the current level cap, so you are ready to play through the new content :)

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 26/06/2018 17:06

OP I think there is/or was a MN Horde guild on Vek' nilash called "Nest of Vipers"?.

SilverDoe · 26/06/2018 17:08

SteamTrains omg no way that’s amazing!!

YouTheCat · 26/06/2018 17:24

WoW prevents me from killing actual people. Grin

I had a night elf hunter and she was amazing. She had a beautiful tiger called Dave.

I can't remember any of my log in details so I'll probably never see her again

I would love to join a mumsnet guild Shock

Lougle · 26/06/2018 17:48

Ooh you all enjoy, but I'm staying well clear. World of Warcrack we called it for a reason! I wasted many an hour playing that in the days of old.

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 26/06/2018 17:49

BTW I may have misremembered the guild name Blush it could be " (The) Viper's Nest" instead of "Nest of Vipers".

TheQueef · 26/06/2018 17:55

Blush I was also excited to see a WoW thread.

I lived in Azeroth through some bad times. Haven't played for ages, got the hump about druid nerfs Grin

Right that's it I'm starting again. I wouldn't have the first clue where to start! Do I need to buy the new expansion first?!

I think I would need a new pc Sad

Haven't fired The Beast up in ages.

My Beast is struggling it must be said. I open it up and tinker with it once in a while which seems to be keeping it limping on
