I am a 45 year old dad that has to
bring my kids to school
work a 12 hour shift
bring my kids home
beat my b***h of a wife because she didn't wash the dishes or make food so now I have to do it myself
then I have to go over my stock portfolio and call my parents
then I pray to the lord above
I only have 2 minutes to play this game and I enjoy every second of it!
Any other dads out there that really love this world of warcraft game???
>you think our troony mods are bad?? you should see the other guy!
Man, I guess I'll go play on your server then, instead of not playing WoW at all like a non-loser.

It really is clown city at Blizzard HQ
nope, this whole time hunters have been REEEEEEEEEEEEEING about it and the only ones who have it are the 5 mythic raiding hunters and the people who exploited and this happened about a month ago
No thanks. I tried it for about 30 minutes a year or two ago and found myself annoyed with all of their changes from what I was used to.
Reminds me I really need to look back into running my own wow server with those bots that you can raid with
It's because I always feel like I have to adjust my behavior around other people. Only by myself can I truly be myself, without judgment from others, without being tainted by their perception or expectations of me, because only when I am truly on my own I am not changing, even unconsciously, to compensate for the people surrounding me, directly or indirectly.
I do. I just happen to like the environments and scenery from Warcraft's setting as well.
What's your IRL situation? Are you reclusive there as well?
Not as much as I'd like to be. I work from home, which does afford me a great deal of comfort, but I still go out regularly, whether it's to walk my dogs, buy groceries or anything else really.
I'd enjoy going full recluse, setting up in some mountains in a cabin, all by myself. I don't even need internet really, just periodically get books for myself to read. Trouble is, I'd require a great deal of money to accomplish that.

To be honest, I totally get where you're coming from with the exhaustion of having to adjust and care about others' perception of you. I'm finding that I'm starting to really hate this about work.

You want to get into dev? The pay can be good and there's a lot of work going around so if you don't like where you're at just leave and you'll find something else, but it can be pretty stressful. People are pushing the absolute max they can onto you and I've found that even as a dev, you're constantly answering to management and end users.
To me, I pictured sys admin as being even less people focused. You don't think that's the case though?

Hmm, the devs I'm used to dealing with only get bothered by intermediaries - and those are above myself and they themselves only get bothered by me - so I guess it depends what kind of dev work you're doing? This is a mid-size company I'm in, the devs seem to be pretty insulated, only report to management, no clients can reach them directly at all.

That said: Find a b***h playing retail these days and she'll likely have tapped out of the modern gaming market and making a name of herself on Discord. Playing retail is so braindead you might actually meet some comfy people.

Turtle is so much better than SOD it's sad, i hope Blizz just pull a Valve and buy out the mod
Gilnaes and Hyjal are kino zones that feel like 2004 Blizzard would have made
>thousands if people report being banned from twow for saying mundane normal shit >the shill trannies ALWAYS reply with "lol no you are LYING you must have been screaming Black person for DAAYS ON END!!!"
I stopped playing in August because of the chink problem which everyone saw coming and warned them about, but instead of stoppung it they just banned anyone who complained. My guild fell apart because logging in was basically impossible for an entire month before i left, and when you did eventually get in, you would get 500 ping minimum. Frick turtle and what it has become, and frick Shenna too.
I agree they took too long to fix that and it's hurt turtle's population.
Interested to see how project epoch handles the china plague if it gets popular.
I wpuldve, bht for some reason their PvP realm is fricking dead
And I cant handle all the homosexual crossfaction hugbox autism, literal troons and cringe roleplaying freaks on their main one
few reasons, freshie fresh gays get bored at level 30 and swapped to SOD/whatever, no war mode for faster exp, no hardcore, a lot of people are new to turtle and went back to their mains on the hugbox realm
Is TurtleWoW good for beginners who have never played WoW before? I assume I would want to play the first three Warcraft games first, but I don't need to play vanilla WoW right?
It's literally Vanilla WoW with a couple of expanded zones from the long lost beta days that have a handful of cringe inducing quests. There's also some bullshit cross-faction mods plugged into the engine and some shitty custom items the troony team made for their "donations" scam.
It's a server for homosexuals and groomers but it's not any more difficult than any other vanilla server.
It's fine, just pick the PvE server. I will claim that Vanilla WoW is the only version worth your time, playing through at least WC3 should give you more immersion in the world
It's better than Vanilla WoW in pretty much every way, since the original world was very unfinished and left abandoned because some dudes wanted to focus on "epic" content like Outland and Northrend instead.
If you appreciate the questing and lore Turtle feels like a proper sequel to 2004 Blizzard's vision. Of course a lot of people just want to rush to end game and get loot, so it gets muddled by autistic people upset Turtle changes their 1.12 meta.
Warcraft 1&2 are not story games.
WoW is based pretty much entirely on warcraft 3 so play that if you want the story. It can be understood without it but you may miss a lot of big questions like "why are these guys fighting anyway"?
In design vanilla wow and to a lesser degree expansion 1&2 are basically different games than wow from then onwards. Vanilla wow was made when the idea that "end game=the real game" was a silent minority. The game was designed to be about leveling and it's not a clear path of do a than b than c. And it was also an era when balance wasn't considered as important. And when they did consider balance it was weighted a lot differently. Rogues for instance are the best pvp class for open world and hunters are the best levelers. That was on purpose, they just get to be the best at these game aspects and the balance is they are worse at entirely different game aspects. This had to do with the general philosophy that the world was supposed to be a big place you could explore, get lost in, discover things. You probably wouldn't gear up or quest in the most optimum way but you would do it in a way that feels like you are carving your own path. It's also much more rewarding to do group content especially for some classes who are going to be bad experiences soloing if you are new and dont know how to route.
The game does have a very competitive and lively "end game" but because it was something added on near the end it's very chunky and quirky. Many people would say that old wow had the best leveling and new wow has the best end game.
If you want to make friends pick a class that can heal or tank pre-60 dungeons. Mages are also a good option as they can make free food for out of combat healing. For profession I would advice skinning+mining or skinning+herbalism (which would be collecting stuff just to sell them on the auction house) or herbalism+alchemy (potion making). Dont pick enchanting.
Too buy on SoD for that chink infested garbage

Absolutely sad state of affairs.

Maybe that was "Just give moron's stupid bird back, for the sake of it", but it's funny regardless.
nope, this whole time hunters have been REEEEEEEEEEEEEING about it and the only ones who have it are the 5 mythic raiding hunters and the people who exploited and this happened about a month ago

A fricking donkey kong ape
owls are a stupid as frick pet family anyway
Dragonflight flying pets also cannot fly anymore once a hunter tames them.
There have been dozens of exploited pet tames since vanilla
I did.
I went on many adventures, killed Torta & several Dreadlords.
It was fun, but that era is long past.

its called style moron. it might blow your third worlder mind but consider this wasnt cutting edge in 2004 either. millions didnt care
>it might blow your third worlder mind
third worlders love wow tho
only because there were private servers already in 2005
that and the implementation of wowtoken during 2016, making the game virtually f2p, tricking them into slavery
undead were the only race that was made uglier by the texture revamp they did
i will forever be mad
she cute
No thanks. I tried it for about 30 minutes a year or two ago and found myself annoyed with all of their changes from what I was used to.

I like wandering around in empty game worlds. It gives me a sense of comfort.
Interesting. Could you elaborate on that more?
It's because I always feel like I have to adjust my behavior around other people. Only by myself can I truly be myself, without judgment from others, without being tainted by their perception or expectations of me, because only when I am truly on my own I am not changing, even unconsciously, to compensate for the people surrounding me, directly or indirectly.
why dont you play a singleplayer game then
I do. I just happen to like the environments and scenery from Warcraft's setting as well.
Not as much as I'd like to be. I work from home, which does afford me a great deal of comfort, but I still go out regularly, whether it's to walk my dogs, buy groceries or anything else really.

Yeah, no thanks
All WoW private servers are shit because all WoW players are shit
I raidlog to help my guild with Naxx prog and das it mane
I've tried turtle and a mists of panderia server the game is just boring I always drop it around level 25
>troony private server
>once they troony themselves, you lose all progress
Might as well push a rock up a hill
I'd only be interested if I could bot. I was super into botting on Ragnarok Online servers for fun because I only wanted to WoE/pvp.
What are known WoW bots?
I think its funny every game I used to play is completely unsalvageable now no matter how you approach it
are you me?
How has nobody posted the programming socks yet?
It really is true that only trannies and pedos play on Turdle WoW.

Classic is at least mostly functional and has players.
You should really do something better with your time though.
