I’m flipping between Alliance and Horde
Just recently, someone broughtthis Steam community post from the gameFactorioto my attention.
In it, the developer jests that “several top men” have taken time off to playWorld of Warcraft Classic, which is not only a believable statement, but a relatable one. I know people whoonlyplayed the Vanilla run ofWoW, quitting after the last major patch (Naxxramas), who came back forClassic. That’s in addition to all of the regularWoWplayers who moved over toClassiceither temporarily or permanently from the live game.
I’m in the weird position of never having stopped. For 15 years I’ve enjoyed the ups and downs ofWorld of Warcraft, waffling between hardcore and casual experiences depending on what was going on in my life at the moment of each expansion. Fortunately, I have time to play (and research!)Classicright now after having basically maxed out all I can do on both a Horde and Alliance character (sans full raid gear) inBattle for Azeroth.
Similarly, I’m swapping between the two factions inClassic. I started off as an Orc Warrior, but moved on to a Night Elf Druid to join up with a few of myUltima Online/WoW/FFXIVbuddies. Even though I remember the Vanilla era vividly, the adventure so far has been fascinating: mostly in terms of witnessing how everyone else is acclimating or re-acclimating to it. After all,it’s a very different gamethan a lot of people expected.
