Im kinda over MMOs, if im being honest. Way to much of an investment is needed for anything outside of Raid Finder,Mid tier+ mythic+'s/or rated PVP. Honestly the only time i enjoy WoW anymore is when leveling in new content. Recently got back into Skyrim(with 300GB of mods XD) and realized thats what i want from Warcraft. I love the world and the lore, but i just want to enjoy it solo in a stunning and modern engine. Itll never happen, but one can dream of being a Tauren farmer in Mulgore…

MMOs aren’t really my game genre, but neither is whatever Skyrim was supposed to be.
Honestly, my vibe is 2D platformers lol

I guess you could classify Skyrim as a Fantasy Life Simulator? lol
Not me. I get bored an hour in and quit every time I play Skyrim.

The world, lore, and my characters keep me hooked into WoW. I really shouldn’t play MMOs at this stage of life, just not enough time. But WoW is my gaming comfy chair. Years of playing it has made it easy to slip back into, rather than having to learn something new on limited play time. But yes, I should really just play single-player games.

Skyrim, no.
I’ll take a Legend of Zelda clone where I can to play as Jaina or Thrall or whoever - make someone new, bring back Aramar Thorne.
It does feel like they’re wasting the Warcraft IP’s potential some days, honestly.
They could make an awesome single player CRPG or Western RPG, they have an entire team that understands RPG numbers. But it’s much easier to make an expansion with a few half-baked patches and the bare minimum content to keep people engaged than it is to actually put effort into expanding the IP out to a larger audience.
I think they saw how badly the Warcraft movie went (which, I think got way worse reviews than deserved but it’s not for everyone), and just sorta gave up on expanding the Warcraft IP beyond maybe a mobile game.
It’s sad to see, considering Riot is doing an MMO, their 2nd season of Arcane, multiple music “groups” in universe, multiple really solid single player games, all for a game that ironically originated from a mod for Warcraft 3.
Same here, but at the same time, that wasn’t true for me in 2012. It’s trying to make a mostly unchanged game from 12.5 years ago still be fun that doesn’t work for me.
That said, I don’t think WoW is particularly good at the kind of thing single player RPGs, even open world ones, are good at.
I think WoW excels as an MMO, and I wouldn’t want to see that change, despite my issues with certain endgame features.

Funnily enough, it’s only Skyrim. I can invest over a hundred hours in any other RPG but Skyrim just never grabs me.
Skyrim is terrible, it’s the most bland, generic nonsense imaginable. People who like Skyrim are probably Nickleback fans who drink lite beer.

I have no faith that Blizzard has the talent anymore to make a single-player Warcraft game.
Give it to a passionate fan that can code, they can likely do a better job lol.
And yeah Skyrim isn’t super-amazing, it was just good for the time.
Imo it’s not as good as the Elder Scrolls games that came before it.
They should remaster those older Elder Scrolls, and then the old Fallout series before their new games, those would be way more popular.
Morrowind held my attention way longer than Skyrim ever did.

Oblivion was my most-played, but I’d kill for a Morrowind remake with Skyrim graphics.

Not a fan of Skyrim but I’d play a party builder or tactical RPG set in Azeroth.
An open world action rpg in the Warcraft setting might be nice, depending on who makes it. If nothing else, I’d be willing to try it, though I personally would prefer something of a more purely action-based genre for the setting.
Honestly I am a terrible fit for MMOs, I would definitely try a solo version of WoW with solo M+/raid and NPC teammates for everything. If the AI/NPCs are really good, I would probably play that 10 hours a day in retirement.
Don’t fry your computer, though.
I never played it, but my nephew is constantly telling me I would love it. Perhaps I will give it a try.
Not at all, I’ve always found the Elder Scrolls franchise to be very mediocre and boring.
I wouldn’t mind more Fallout.
There’s something satisfying about reducing enemies to a red meaty paste.
