give it to me straight. should i play wow forever?
>>
No, WoW has always been garbage but people had fun with it anyway because they were young and doing something with their friends. 20 years later retards are still trying to chase that high without realizing it was in spite of the game, not because of if.
>>
If you’re an unc who’s trying to drown in nostalgia because you’re a balding childless single millennial, yeah

no thats just silly. forever doesnt exist anon

bahahahaha, playing WoW in 2026

You shouldn't play anything forever
>>
>>750005907
If you have to ask--yes. Fresh server launches are some of the most fun things to play on.

lmao if you plan on nolifing it though. Wowforever is going to be a casuals dream, and that's the only way you should be playing it.

I don't care niggy. I'm not planning on no lifing the game but I'll give it a try to see if Blizzard will avoid fucking it up (they won't)

Yes, be a good little goy and buy all the cash shop cosmetics and wow tokens
>>
>>750005907
I really don't understand what kind of addiction results in even considering this question seriously.
Its WoW, a game from 2004 that has made no meaningful advances in gameplay since then. If you were interested in its dated MMO experience, you could have played it in the last 22 years and gotten your fill.
You will not feel like when you were 16 playing with your guildmates after school. Nothing will ever bring that feeling back.
>>
>>750005907
Yes. However, everyone will quit when GTA 6 releases.
>>
>>750010696
>I'll give it a try

I think you will be roped in after trying. You'll realise that the game is super fun even without the gameplay, due to how many people will be online. It's like someone saying
>i'll just give 4chan a try

>>750010851
I don't even have anything that can run GTA 6. Nice meme, dude.
>>
>>750010763
>Its WoW, a game from 2004
There is not a single game which has made any meaningful advances in anything for decades. Your point is irrelevant, and I will have fun with the same retards I've been playing video games with the past 20 years.
>>
>>750010879
>I think you will be roped in after trying
Yeah I don't doubt it, I still played Epoch for a considerable amount of time and that was DoA. I just don't have much faith that it will last more than a few months for most people. Hell if they do add new classes and more questing zones it might make more sense to just check it out for a few months every year or so
>>
>>750010913
>not a single game which has made any meaningful advances in anything for decades
Lucky the genre as a whole has evolved since the primary concern was bandwidth and everything had to be designed around taking up as little as possible.
The entire gameplay loop and look of WoW is hindered by a design philosophy that has been dead for a decade and a half. We can queue up more than one skill these days, grampa. Oh sorry, I forgot, you can do that, you just need a dozen add ons.
>>
>>750010980
>I just don't have much faith that it will last more than a few months for most people

Maybe you're right, but they won't discard old thing unless something better comes out. Also, who cares about the future.
>new WoW
>November release
Hopefully I don't even see 2027, because I won't need it.
>>
>>750005907
It’s the way the game has been intended to be played, forever.

lmao, no it hasn't. It's stagnated and gone backwards in the name of company profitability. You'll never see another DAOC/UO/AC game with any sort of popularity. It's all themeparks with the same core mechanics.
>design philosophy that's dead for a decade and a half
You have no idea what you're talking about if you really believe that.
>need a dozen addons
lol. I've been playing Darkfall without addons and my APM is well beyond what regular MMORPG players have.

i have no "nostalgia" for wow classic. its purely just a well designed game despite its flaws. the question is should i "play" wow forever. and by "play" i mean go hard as fuck for 99 parses and full raid bis and hitting all raid lockouts every week

Idk why I can have a few drinks and don't even care for gambling but somehow this one particular video game unmakes me every time I try to play it.

really wow just feels like open world league of legends honestly. each spec uses the exact same abilities and if you dont youre intentionally sabotaging the group

The psychology of that is really obvious. You just want to be better than everyone else, and the only way to do that in a video game is by putting in the hours.

OP, lets be real. You're only asking because you want an excuse. And the only people opening this thread or answering are coping because they too, want an excuse.

Like it or not, WoW dominated an entire generations gaming psyche, and captured a zeitgeist that transcended clique or social status. its THE nostalgia bait of this generation.
The answer is just make up your own fucking mind.
It will never recapture those feelings. They were a special blend of hormones and vintage of the internet that is gone and no remaster or realm restriction or rebalancing or re-whatever will EVER bring it back.
The real caveat is, does that matter? Fuck no. If it makes you happy, if you recapture even a fraction of those good feels? Its probably worth it. take it from a REAL old man. chasing what other people think is worth your time is the true time waster. most of getting old is just chasing the highs of youth with the edge and wisdom of age to guide you anyway. be a real man. do what you want.
now I'm going back to my fucking puzzle. I hate you damn kids.

Why would you want to pay a monthly subscription for a game that forces you to play with others
Why? So the whole group can be miserable with useless drops and fetch quests

i only read about half of that

The group is only miserable when you're there, and that's why you posted in this thread. Thanks for telling me that the rest of the board is miserable, though.

Sounds like someone doesn't have friends to enjoy the game with. :(

Forever is a REALLY long time anon, i doubt you'd manage
>>
>>750014205
That's a good argument. Some people can literally play a game forever, though. I think OP will end up playing WoW if he's even asking about it. People with something to do wouldn't ask.
November will come around and then everyone who isn't playing something will think
1. fun
2. no fun
and then they play WoW like everyone else.
I remember when I was a kid and I couldn't even afford WoW. I played on private servers. Nobody is going to stop me from having fun.

like why even play wow if youre not going to quit your job and drop the dog off at the pound and divorce your wife for it? what, you gonna just be a casual? might as well kill yourself. imagine being a casual wow player

not really, but me and my friends got bored of classic around level 35. Probably because I already played vanilla back in the day.

at the end of the day, blizzard is still going to make its money duping the same fools as always, and WoW will still be garbage regardless. Live your life how you see fit.
