Free WOW this weekend!

Multiplayer Discussion
1

If you have an inactive World of Warcraft account you can play for free this weekend.

If I’m not mistaken you and I should be able to get Liandrin for free as well if we level a new char to 20? (or is that for noobs?)

Either way, if you play, enjoy!

Wow isn’t anywhere near the same game i used to love and spend countless hours over a decade ago. Today’s version of wow is just a completely different game than it was when it released. Time’s and the community have also changed and I do not see myself going back. I had hopes for Classic wow but today’s community will kill it for me. I personally find ff14 to be more enjoyable than today’s WoW.

However atm im hooked on Apex Legends and i know a few other hearthstoners on the same boat.

I quit mid Cata.

Addiction issues and all that…

I’m gonna jump in and fly around and get some goose bumps and lvl a char to 20 and see if I get Liandrin.

Zangarmarsh and Grizzly Hills is where you will find me.

I wouldn’t play the game either even if I was paid. The game was best at WotLK so that’s the only version I want to play: it was eased up compared to Vanilla in a good way, yet not overdone (read: dumbed down) like Cataclysm and further did.

Making me miss my Druid.

Healing went through numerous iterations in WoW, but after the arrival of BC which fixed all the hybrid classes, being a Druid was amazing. You were a stealth healer, constantly moving around and repositioning; vulnerable to burst, but resillient to movement impairment. Of all the casters, they were the ones always on the move, and once they made a few tweaks, truly made use of ALL their forms.

And Feral! So many raids where I came as DPS cat, providing Mangle debuff and Leader of the Pack for the group, and dropped in as emergency tank on a dime. Being able to provide an emergency role switch was great.

Then they went and got rid of tranform removing roots, and split up bear/cat specifically so you couldn’t off tank and dps as the same spec.

Bah, everytime I want to go back to WoW, I think of those changes, and go play something else. I miss my Druid, but I miss that Druid.

Same. WOTLK and TBC were my favorite expansions. Good memories, lots of explorations, but I’ll never see myself play WoW ever again. No matter what…

Cataclysm was a huge let-down, but I kept playing any way, till Blizzard announced MoP, watching the cinematic and the artbox I immediately gave up with WoW. All my friends abandoned Blizzard any way.

I came years later back in WoD, was fun first few weeks till I quickly reached the ceiling and realized how pathetic this game actually got. WoD was basically a 3D Facebook game 90% of the time. No interaction with other players, it was MMORPG disaster imo. WoD was everything what MMORPG shouldn’t have been.

I gave Legion another chance, but what a disappointment… this was supposed to be the “good expansion”. Well, if people think that’s a good expansion, then those loyal players lost the meaning of fun a long time ago. Legion was grindfest with real-life time capped content. You literally had to wait days to continue… what a scam is that? How can people enjoy this? You literally paying monthly… in 2017+ for servers.

For me this was the limit, completely lost hope for WoW and I forsake it. Look at BFA… what a joke.

Not even slightly tempted.

WoW is just an endless rng grind for titanforge gear and tiny bits of power for your magical necklace. The horribly watered down classes and mess of a story killed it for me too.

What on earth would I do in a weekend anyway? I’m quite happy over in FF14, cheers.

Oh man, Cataclysm bear/cat was the most fun I had raiding, especially considering it was a pretty mediocre xpac. None of this dps/off tank bs, it could legitimately do both in a single build. It was stupid strong, making one of the hardest fights (Heroic Spine) significantly easier, to the point if it remained I believe it would have been mandatory to have one for heroic raiding, at least for 10’s (rip 10 mans, that was the real WoW killer for me). I understand why they split Feral, doesn’t mean I have to like it. Such a fun & versatile build.

My glory is a Server First Heroic 10 man Anubarak kill. May not seem like much but hey… Server First! We cleared all of Wotlk Heroic too. When I saw HS got a defile card I started having flashbacks…

We were always just short of server first raid clears (got a few bosses though). We were one of two guilds raiding heroic difficulty on our server and the other guild had more time each week to dedicate to it, 25+ hours to our 15 hours.

Good to reminisce but, like others, a free weekend simply isn’t enough to entice to try it again.

Wow… I forgot that, thank you :slight_smile:
