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?

OK this has blown my mind. I feel like someone who's woken up after 6 years in a coma

I raid in a top 200 guild (although I'm pregnant so will be stopping raising early next year). I also met my partner on WoW six years ago :) So I have a lot to thank the game for!

Let me know where the guild is and I'll build a character to get there.

Oh my god. I played from burning crusade up to warlords of draenor and stopped 2 years ago when I had my first son. The last expansion really appealed to me but I couldn't as had just given birth again. I would love to go back but now I play overwatch with my husband in the evenings as its less commitment. Really miss it though.

I've found my old guild and requested to join.

I've actually had to turn it off as its blowing my mind!

I'll build a character and join a MN guild. Let me know where!

Mat leave has to be good for something other than feeding the baby, right? Grin

I’m not sure why I clicked on this thread as I have no idea what any of you are talking about...but think I may now want to play...Confused

Omg this brings back memories. I had a human priest, gnome mage and gnome warlock back in the day.

I played 2004-2011. Although in the last year or two of that I wasn’t hardcore raiding as I once was. It took over my life and almost ruined my marriage.

MomofCrazyLex · 28/06/2018 15:14

Oh my. Lol found this post. Im actuallyvplaying right now.

Fiintastic · 28/06/2018 15:41

Notice none of us count months or weeks.

We give our dates like a tour of duty Grin

DS (of the top spec pc) is increasing his shifts at work..... I could get five shifts in For the Alliance....

NewGrandad · 29/06/2018 11:41

DW is off on her works night out tonight. Would have been good to get a chance to watch the WC but I suppose it'll have to be WoW. Sad

SilverDoe · 29/06/2018 11:59

You bloody women! I’m renewing my subscription when I get home from work! Grin

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 29/06/2018 16:15

Ok I've got a charter for an Alliance guild on Eonar called "None", I'll be out side the bank in the trade district.

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 29/06/2018 16:21

Oh my name is:- Barabrith.

YouTheCat · 29/06/2018 16:39

I have 3 bars to go till 110 on my dk.

I met my dp playing WoW about 10 years ago. We were in the same guild. We've been together over 8 years now. Grin

My Dd plays too (she's 23) and keeps getting me to boost her.

ByeGermsByeWorries · 29/06/2018 21:52

Ive been playing since the beginning and I'm still hooked 🙈 I play on silvermoon A and Turalyon A. My dad plays he's 63 and I've convinced my partner to play and now
He's hooked too
Grin

YouTheCat · 29/06/2018 23:12

Got to 110. Grin

Meatbadger · 29/06/2018 23:28

This all sounds very exciting. I’ve never played - where would I start?

YouTheCat · 29/06/2018 23:31

Start with googling Blizzard and having a look to see if you think you'd enjoy it. It can be as time consuming as you want.

I play when I want.

MotsDHeureGoussesRames · 29/06/2018 23:45

Just typed a big reply and wifi dropped Angry. Lvl 100 warrior here. Not played in a good few yrs. Not a raider - too many twats, too stressful. Like WoW but prefer LOTRO. Lvl 110 Champion and 87 Minstrel.

MetalMidget · 29/06/2018 23:50

FOR THE HORDE!

I've not played for a couple of years. I used to head up a 'casual' raiding guild. We'd raid three times a week, each raid lasting three hours. My definition of casual nowadays is a very different beast! Have been tempted to dip back in, kind of lost interest around Warlords of Draenor.

Knittinganewme · 30/06/2018 07:16

I didn't like Draenor but I do like Legion. I'm a new player so Battle for Azeroth will be the first expansion that I've waited for.

user1483387154 · 30/06/2018 07:20

Still playing sporadically. Been on since 1st week of vanilla

TheQueef · 30/06/2018 10:07

I ventured into the front bedroom to see how I'd fit in DS pc set up.

Amateur doesn't even have a fan for long sessions. Hmm

Argh it's pulling me...
