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?

Sooo tempted to sign up again.... Argh

Thanks for this blast from the past! :) I played from 2004-2009 ish, main was a healer pally who got to level 80 (max at the time) and also had a few high level alts. Did high level raids for a while when I was a student, met up with people in RL etc.

I would never have been able to be a part time player, so once I graduated and got a job things tailed off and then I met my now-DH and I just stopped. I look back fondly even though with hindsight, I was obsessed Grin I got a 2.1 in my degree so it all worked out ok. Happy memories!

Affliction is good for soloing in current set up due to life drain but that's going away with the next month. Boo

Boo indeed

What's happening to druids?

Yay!!! Just levelled up. Shame I've got to go to work soon.

If only I could pull a sickie! ;-)

Saved up my leave for WoTLK.

Learned hard lessons at the release it BC Sad

Jorah · 27/06/2018 14:55

I've spent an hour levelling up a new blood elf warlock. Fun. Although I'd forgotten all the muttering "fgs why didn't you ask me to get the pelts at the same time as the shards" and "surely you could find the map it's about 200m away"

I miss the casual RP at the fishing Q (my adult DS plays occasionally) we even have illidan in jokes.

Hiding this now before I end up buying a new PC, getting my rsi supports out and popping on my Nelf ears. Grin

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 27/06/2018 15:15

I'll stick to playing frost mages.

Frankenterfer · 27/06/2018 16:17

Damn you all, I'm just downloading and renewing my subscription. I'd tell you where I am but no idea any more how the servers work.

YouTheCat · 27/06/2018 16:54

I'm on Blades Edge but play Alliance.

I recommend starting a worgen as the starting quests are really good.

Jorah · 27/06/2018 18:15

I've never played a worgen. Do they make good hunters? Think I'll probably default back to a hunter... Can you still be a rogue? They were hard.

OP posts:
YouTheCat · 27/06/2018 18:25

I reckon they'd be okay as hunters. Rogues are still about. Dp's main is a rogue.

BearsDontDigOnDancing · 27/06/2018 18:44

My Main ( I actually struggle to lvl alts) is a 110 mage.

I had been arcane for years, but recently went fire as I have the most awesome fire transmog!

I am Rebie#2138 if anyone wants to add me on BN :-)

TheVeryHungryDieter · 27/06/2018 18:53

Damn you all, you're making me homesick for Azeroth. I saw some images of Orgrimmar recently and it felt like, you know, when you go back to the city you lived in as a child/student and it's full of too-cool hipsters and someone has torn down your old favourite pub and it's now a Boots?

I don't have time to play and with work and preschool kids and a busy enough social life, I don't honestly know when I will ever again. But I utterly loved those Friday night karazhan runs, trying to get the Safety Dance achievement while virtually sharing a (real) beer with a bunch of Belgians and South Africans and UK people I still think of as friends.

BearsDontDigOnDancing · 27/06/2018 19:06

Oh they brought Karazhan back as a 5 man in Legion. Is great fun. Especially the second half where you are in a twisted reality version of Kara.

Jorah · 27/06/2018 19:06

Tbh I think I'll just buy it and level up my hunter. I struggled so hard to get her to 90. I wonder where she is Grin

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 27/06/2018 19:08

Is anybody still wanting to join an alliance guild? I can set one up.

Give me few ideas about what you want the guild called?

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 27/06/2018 19:09

Oh and what servers (preferably linked)

Jorah · 27/06/2018 19:27

Possibly me I'm in blades edge

OP posts:
YouTheCat · 27/06/2018 19:38

I'm already in a guild. It's just dp and me (his main's in a proper raiding type guild though). We are The Unseen University. Grin

Frankenterfer · 27/06/2018 22:01

Anyone for the Horde? 😄

Anniegetyourgun · 27/06/2018 22:08

#ahem# I hate to be a pedant but the Safety Dance was in Naxxramas.

Jorah · 27/06/2018 22:39

OK I've just spent 50 quid buying all the upgrades and a months game time. My character, who i spent 2 years levelling to 86 is now 110. She deserves it

Jorah · 27/06/2018 22:46

Omg! Dave my pet is there! But he's faded and ghostly and I have a new pet who I didn't name Sad
