Confession time: I’ve been rather reluctant to give Blizzard Entertainment’s juggernaut MMORPG, World of Warcraft, a chance over the years. Despite having fond memories of playing Warcraft 3 as a kid, I just couldn’t get invested in World of Warcraft when I was younger. My reasons varied from being scared off by the extreme dedication needed to play the game, how unfriendly it was for solo players back in its early days, how multifaceted its storyline and lore are, and the fear that I would be unable to make friends or join guilds required to play the game optimally.
However, after over twenty years since the game launched in 2024 and gaining MMORPG experience during my time playing Final Fantasy XIV, I have finally converted into a full-time subscriber to World of Warcraft. This is thanks to Blizzard refreshing classic content, mountains of quality-of-life improvements that made power-leveling your characters faster than ever, finally landing an amazingly welcoming and friendly guild, and so much more.
