Hello there, I played WoW and raided hardcore since the 2nd half of TBC to T11, then got burnt out and been away since (4 years roughly). Maybe nostalgia hit me, but I'd like to get back and try what it is new and I'd like if someone here could gladly send a SoR. I'm on EU, pm me for account details. Thanks.

I asked because a friend of mine who still plays said they're active, so I was like "wtf". Thanks anyway, I will purchase some game time (and hope not to regret it if the game is crap now).

It's a tricky time right now. Great time to grab an heirloom weapon if you have a 90, which you might not. But if you do resub things are going to be extremely different and likely won't make sense till you hit 100.

A lot of current 90s can't quite figure that part out.

wont take long to hit 90. Raid finder is pretty busy still and its easy to find groups for public raiding if you get a decent ilvl as you can get 100% heirloom ready for WoD.

ATM if you buy WoD expan you get a 90 boost. It can be a new char or a current, if you are interested in WoD you could get a new 90 if you fancy a new class for WoD expansion.

It's still early in the expansion but I would say its the best since WotLK.

Welcome to the club. Many years of poker multi-tabling, FPS games, WoW, etc. My wrists will never be the same.

Hi,

i was thinking on comming back to wow but i cant remember my user login. How many time do u think it would take to achieve highest level playing 4-5hours per day and knowing the basics of the game? I used to play when lvl 70 (i think i remember) PVP in the highests levels.

Thanks !

Playing 4-5 hours a day, probably no more than 2 weeks to reach 100. But the grind to get conquest points to be able to PvP at a high level is probably a lot higher. But then again I don't know a lot about the current PvP scene.

2 weeks is longer than you'd realistically need to hit 100 on a fresh account, but keep in mind that if you buy the game these days, you're handed a free level 90 immediately, and a free level 100 if you pre-purchase Legion.

It took me ~7- hours to go from 90-100 on my guys after having done it once already.

You can easily do the entire honor grind in a week with that schedule. Less if you get lucky with boxes.

Current state is a bit meh, but if you haven't played WoD at all yet it's worth a few months of play for sure. It just got stagnant and the great ideas they had, like Garrisons, just ended up turning into a daily to-do list.

Grass is always greener on the other side. With new expansions comes new hope.
