Thanks for this great article, Silek!
I played World of Warcraft on the German server Sen'jin from Christmas 2005 to summer 2011 so the last expansion pack I actively took part in was "Cataclysm" which I didn't like very much. Anyways, playing this game was an experience I don't want to miss in my life, although I absolutely have got no ambitions to return. I remember WOW as very time consuming with raids lasting three, four or even more hours - not to mention the planning and preperations beforehand in order to be successful.
But - as I have stated before - I loved running around as a Retribution Paladin fighting hordes of undead, monsters and villains. I also loved these epic moments, e. g. defeating the Lich King Arthas for the very first time, doing the hard modes inside the Ice Crown Citadel, clearing Naxxramas on a Friday night together with friends and guild mates, farming rare items like the "Crusader" enchant for hours or even days, doing daily quests in Storm Peaks, etc.
Memories...!

When WoW came out I was playing a different MMO that I continued playing for years. I never picked up Warcraft, but this expansion has got me tempted to get it.

After a the talk about it, I've jumped back into WoW again, though I've been going through Battle for Azeroth rather than Shadowlands. Going to jump forwards tonight to it and come back to the older stuff later.
Never thought I'd end up back in WoW, (played up to about 6 months after BC originally) et here I am.

Great article! The game came out on in the US in my birthday in 2004 and I’ve been playing ever since. I just wish there was a lifetime sub like STO has

It indeed is a great release and definitely I'm personally enjoying it more than Battle For Azeroth.
I'm happy to also say that UFP's WoW Guild, Lunarfall in Europe - Magtheridon, has also seen an active return to raids in Shadowlands. This was our 2nd week in raiding. I've also been speaking with many UFP Community members on their interest and the best part is, you can join our guild if you just want to be amongst UFP members. We still do plan on running variety runs such as Dungeons, Transmogs, etc. If you're also a UFP member looking to restart/start playing WoW again do strongly consider joining us in Europe - Magtheridon. You can PM me regarding any questions on this.
Amazing article Silek!

Mentioned User Mack
It was all the chatter on our forums that drew my attention back to WoW in the first place. Looking into it, it was clear to see there wasn't just an uptick in interest across the UFP, people were coming out in droves all over.
It seems like this new expansion is a home run according to all the numbers.

I was very skeptical of the expansion when it was first announced as it seemed to me like they were doing away with years and years of built up lore and taking the game into a different direction artistically, probably for the very reason of bringing new players in.
A month into the expansion, however, I can say the gameplay is solid and the new systems are much improved over BfA. The new zones, although still not making much sense to me lorewise, look amazing and the storylines are quite interesting and sprinkled with good humour. Obviously, all of this is made so much better by us getting the guild and raiding team back together.
All in all, I'm very impressed with the expansion so far!
