Fav game of all time.

Curious as to what people think when it comes to the levell of immersion in WoW and whether it has gotten better or worse over the years.It seems with better technology (graphics, PC upgrades, servers, broadband) immersion would be enhanced... but I am not sure this exactly so.Thoughts?

I would like to revisit this thread as I think it is still relevant today, especially in light of them bring back "Classic" servers.Personally I like the idea of a "classic server" but I'd actually prefer the ruleset of a classic server that provides the community but has updated content and mechanics.Hopefully this thread might be good for further discussion about the issue of how rulesets can either promote or degrade a sense of server community.

I miss the old "Server" Community. this thing is wrong and crossrealms has gone too far.I miss seeing everyone from the same realm when I go to Stormwind/ORG.I don't care about Classic.. I don't want to play something I played years ago... I want live to be the same thing as it once used to be.I absolutely agree with this. In my opinion the biggest problem w…

10/09/2018 12:42 PMPosted by BanghealBefore I started this game in November 23, 2004, I was playing Lineage ][.Ya'll don't know what grind even is.It seems as if you are making an inference that somehow you are morally superior. Not sure if that's how you want to come off but that's what I take away from it.

10/09/2018 08:27 AMPosted by AlisiaaYou're 47 and you never played an RPG other than WoW?I mean, people probably are frustrated because grinding is kindof inherent to the genre, and there's an expectation to keep up with your peers.it's by no means a moral failing, it's a failing as a gamer.I mean, i'm mostly just confused you think grinding is abnormal. It's very much the norm.I don't think I complained anywhere of "grinds" recently or even in my extended memory. I was just responding to other posts that seem to display one person degrading another person when that other person is complaining…

10/09/2018 06:34 AMPosted by AyaanI think it's more bc what people are claiming is a grind isn't really a grind. At least if we're talking about reputation. I only play a few hours a night a couple nights a week because of work and managed to get Pathfinder 1 and of those days I wasn't doing wqs on all of them bc I just didn't wanna. A lot of ppl posting are acting like we're being asked to do Hydraxion Waterlords rep or somethingThanks for reminding me of that! I remember that now... to put out the braziers in MC! On one hand it's a fond memory, on the other I remember the sense of tedium. 10…

How is that even a thing in a video game? In other words, how has not wanting to be bored become a moral failing?I see the sentiment in the title of my post reflected on this forum board a lot these days and the longer I've played this game (nearly 14 years) and the longer I've been on this planet (47 years) the more I am puzzled by it.Personally, I am no stranger to long slogs in the game. But generally I think I can understand why people don't want long boring tracts of 'grinding' out repetitive actions without calling them "lazy" or "kiddies" and inferring they are somehow bad because they …

10/03/2018 07:41 AMPosted by NzhuvGood news! If you don't like raiding, you can do mythic+ for gear. Having options is a good thing, so why push to remove raiding?I think the point is not to remove raiding but rather stop propping it up with favorable loot systems and see if it will stand of its own accord.
