I played WoW a bit after its initial release through the first couple xpacs. Getting the MMO itch again, but I know the WoW I grew up with doesn't really exist anymore, so now I'm pretty out of touch.

For those of you playing / recently played an MMO, which one? How's the community? How's the lore? Gameplay in pve/pvp/rvr?

So what if WoW isn't the same? It's still a good game, and a new one at that. I don't get the apprehension, unless you want to scratch the nostalgia itch, but I think it's a waste of time, although WoW Classic is a thing. FFXIV is also pretty good if you can stomach anime designs and weird Japanese fantasy, personally I find it too unrelatable.

Yeah I played classic and I played retail and I prefer retail every day. Would I have called it a good mmo during legion/bfa/shadowlands? Fuck no, but with Dragonflight they've really pulled their shit together and made a very good experience and I am definitely looking forward to the Worldsoul Saga

Nostalgia person here. Resubbed for classic tbc. Blizzard ~~fixed~~ fucked around and did stupid shit. I canceled and joined a private server.

Private servers can be really really good, I'm just not a big fan of classic wow myself
