Yep! Really glad. Hoping we'll get healthy enough of a RPer community that we can keep the inevitable lolboys from PVP at manageable levels.

Yeah i’ll leave it up on the off change, unless its against rules and gets taken down..

I also saw a lot of those generic results and they feel kinda.. come join x for the bad vibes and nobody will say shit.. rather find an invite only through word of mouth, and I recognize that’s lol not happening these days. Womp womp.

Thanks for talking to me though :) I appreciate you!

I suspect Lemmy isn't going to have a specific community for it - too niche - but there are plenty of people on here who aren't against sailing the high seas every now and again, so someone may chime in with a thought.

A quick google also turns up a few suggestions. I can't vouch for them because I just sub to retail with gold, but there doesn't appear to be a shortage of options available.

Oh. No, I mean I’m fine with it, but wasn’t aware they were pirate servers, I guess. Pirate software is just software being used in a way someone doesn’t like so.. eh.

So this isn’t the comm for finding somewhere, then. Is there one 😜?

I'm sure you already know this, but on the off chance you don't: WoW "can be privately hosted" in the same way you "can watch any movie for free" if you know the right websites. Private servers are not permitted by Blizzard and they intermittently take action against them, especially the big ones. I think TurtleWoW was probably the most recent?

If you're fine with that risk though, I'm sure there are a few around here and there. WoW Forever also launches on November 4 if you're willing to reconsider the subscription for a more Classic-like experience that has old school vibes but with new content to explore.

Yeah, at least we now know why the ceast & desist was issued after what, 7 or 8 years?

Ah there was meant to be more to that body, but lost it flicking between apps on my phone.

I was going to mention the racial ability difference between Horde and Alliance, where Horde gets a 10% movement speed increase, and Alliance gets increased mana regen.

As a caster, Alliance Skyborn is kind of OP for early leveling, that extra mana regen is super nice. But at the same time, I didn't mind not having it on the Horde side, and found the movement speed increase super useful in the first 20 levels. Problem is once cat form is unlocked, that racial is kind of useless as it doesn't stack on cat form. I didn't hit 30, so not sure if it stacks with travel form or not though.

My plan was to play the AH game in retail in order to get game time to spend on Forever 😁

Just remember, level cap is only lvl30 in the beta, so we have no idea how things are going to look at endgame.

Also, there is no box price on Forever. Just like Classic, all you need is a subscription to play. So to answer your question, yeah should work that way if you are playing Retail, and you sell the token in Retail. Unless I'm completely missing it, I didn't see anything about buying or selling tokens in Forever

Classic+ has always been different from person to person, but to me, Classic+ is an extension of the original WoW AKA horizontal progression. If the devs can manage to expand the world of Warcraft, without making earlier content obselete, then they have succeeded with making Classic+ imho.

Some of my 40k buddies got into the beta, they're really enjoying it thus far - one of them is saying that ret paladins are currently doing way more damage than any warrior, hell, even prot warriors seem to be more killy than fury/arms.

I'll be waiting for the actual release, maybe hope for a christmas discount. By the way, will you be able to buy forever game time from from those tokens you can buy/sell in retail?

Yeah I was surprised to not see that as a ruleset option! Hopefully post launch, fingers crossed for you guys

RP server yeah (EU). But I'm really really hoping Blizzard hears the calls for RP-PVP.

I never touched SoD, was just on Retail the whole time. But from what I've seen so far, it does seem to be that Classic+ everyone was wanting no?

Still poking around beta but resisting the urge to go too far.

Ohh I know the feeling all too well right now haha!

What ruleset do you think you will go with at launch? The RP server?

I think I'm just going to go with the PvE ruleset and transmog off. But I do plan on having a Fire Mage on the PvP server at some point

Personally I think you're in for a great time!

And for the first time in a very long time, I can genuinely recommend WoW again to either new or returning players!

Hope you enjoy Azeroth again :)

I'm going to play wow for the first time since wotlk because of this. I'm hyped. Gonna start undead warlock and paladin, this will be fun.

Hyjal from Durotar, Dalaran from Tirisfal Glades. Really excited for the launch as well. Still poking around beta but resisting the urge to go too far.

Gonna basically recreate my RP character who was originally a troll shaman, but will now make him a (shadow) priest. He'll be my main. Also going to have an undead rogue (RP shenanigans) and a warlock (love Warlock PVP). And other alts, but these three are the most fleshed out in my mind. I'll probably struggle with the leveling speed though lol... but then it doesn't really matter, I'm in no rush to reach end game on any of them.

Last I played was when Season of Discovery came out. I am hoping that this time, it will actually be Classic+…

Thanks!

Ah cool! Welcome back to WoW!

I love the thematic idea of an Undead Pally, guarantee there is going to be tonnes running around Brill at launch haha. I have levelled an Enhancement Shammy, and I had a great time, I don't think you will go wrong with either option!

I'm pumped. Didn't play WoW since TBC and didn't expect to come back but weirdly excited for Forever. Will definitely try, but waiting for actual launch.

Definitely want to go for undead paladin, but if my friends overrule me on faction I'll probably try dwarf shaman first.

Thank you for this. I don’t usually play beta in any game because of resets. But after your comment rattled around my brain for a bit, I decided to try the beginner quests to check out the new race. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of that before 🙃 Not sure I’ll stick with the sky elf either though, but it’s fun.

I've barely had time to play, but it'll probably be hunter or druid as is tradition unless I really like undead paladin.
