Wrath was fine. Ulduar and ICC were some of the best raid experiences they've ever created.

Those were the last from the original designers I think. The detail and depth of Ulduar is far beyond anything that came after it.

Cataclysm was a bit of a let-down and that's when most people quit. MOP was probably the worst thing Blizzard ever made, so they never come back to the game.

I didn't play from Wrath to Wod but most people I play with talk very fondly about MoP. It had some of the best zone design in the game. Everyone loves to bash on pandas tho


Right now the game is very streamlined. Blizzard have made it very hard to break your character as everything is noob friendly, even more so now than in Legion as they have buffed primary stats so that it's impossible to gimp your character by choosing the wrong gear. On the surface there is not much in terms of talent choice but talent trees only ever created the illusion of choice - the optimal spec would always be calculated by nerds so you'd be playing the same cookie cutter as everyone else. The "new" system actually offers more choice because it's easier for Blizzard to balance 3 abilities on a row rather than hundreds of combinations of talents.

Most specs do feel a little empty right now as legendaries and artifacts were removed for the end of legion, but Azerite armour is the new thing which will supposedly add more depth as BFA progresses.

I played up to end of TBC and then skipped Wrath and Cata. Did do MoP, WoD and Legion in various steps but nothing has ever caught me like TBC and Vanilla. Still, going to give this one a go.
 
Damn it, installing this again now. Not played in 2 years, so nothing in Legion, but I played a little in WoD, Pandaland and Cata. I was mostly active in Wrath though.

I am horde, so looking to get into this again now. Looking for some social community too. I have joined the community already, so feel free to say hi in game.
 
Considering picking this up again.

Vanilla - Rose tinted glasses, I remember the bad, so much bad, the bosses that were so bugged they were unkillable, crashing the server on thaddius, repeatedly... the endless consumables grind. But hell yes I would go back to it.
TBC - This is where WoW got a grip around my soul, the friends I made here, the time I spent every waking hour in the game, the game had everything for everyone.
Wrath - The peak of the game. I have such bad nostalgia when I re-watch the cinematics for this is makes my stomach turn with sadness. My DK was literally unkillable it was so geared. Server transferred at the wrong time, lost out on wrathful gladiator title. Still livid about that years on. Best guilds, best friends, best raids, best PVP, actual spec choice.

Cata - Oh man, what a disaster. BoT / BWD were so easy, total snooze fests. Firelands kicked it up a notch with some nasty fights, dragon soul was just addon-raiding.

MOP - I actually enjoyed MOP, lots to do, the raiding was fun, all of them, that is until SoO and the ridiculous repeat farming until WoD.

WoD - Due to getting bored of farming SoO for the 50th time I fell away from WoW, missed this expac until HFC. Did it, got bored, left again.

Legion - Started again, leveled up, found the lack of buttons just killed my enjoyment, game skill level completely floored out, raiding guilds wanting 1 main and 5 alts and **** like that. Never took part, did the storyline quests, watched the cinematics.

BFA - I have mixed feelings so far I like the direction its heading, all out war, I don't like what we've been shown of the raids so far. It feels like "oh hey we have these cool ideas, lets just mash them in somewhere because reasons". Game still feels completely skill-less.

i have started again from lvl1 and not looking to rush to 120. I have always rushed to end game and been a part of the opening nights. This time i am playing how i want too, and am enjoying it. The levelling is actually really good now, as is the level balancing in the zones.
 
Kicked off the server just before 11pm, stuck on 'Logging in to game server' now. Launch nights are usually busy, but I don't remember not being able to login before, mad.
 
Well it's been an absolute peach of a launch for me. A little bit of lag in Silithus due to the amount of people, but apart from that i've had little issue questing, joining groups, instances, etc.

Although I do think doing a "worldwide launch" and then turning the EU servers off for maintenance eight hours later is a bit bizarre. :D
