How many friends do you have playing at launch?!

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

Most of the people I played with from vanilla/TBC Tichondrius are going to come back for Classic so will be looking forward to that. Will be nice to play with quality players again.

I just turned 30 and down to a couple. Is this what to expect of the last remaining ones at 40? :slightly_frowning_face:

Most of my RL don’t play WoW. The ones day do, probably will stick with Retail (as much as I don’t love the direction of Retail, it’s passably enjoyable) so I’m not betting on their Classic attendance. This guy I’m seeing plays Vanilla (PS) a LOT and has every intention of playing Classic, but I’m almost certain he is (a) Going Horde (which I’m iffy about), and (b) PvP Server, which i flat out refuse to do. I like PvP when i want to pvp, and PvE/Level Grind when I want to do that – world PvP always disrupts it for me.

I will probably just do what I always did, join a server, find a guild that isn’t teeming with tools, and make new friends I guess :man_shrugging:

Warrior - Tank and GM, played since 2005.
Mage - Me, played mage since 2005.
Warlock - Probably hasn’t researched his class, but will when the release is near.
Rogue - My PvP buddy, will almost but not quite poopsock for PvP stuff.
Rogue - Probably hasn’t researched his class, but he is a good player.
Paladin - We told him it was okay to be ret.
Druid - Restobear, played druid since 2005.
Priest - New guy who started in BfA, healer.
Undecided - He is busy.
And lastly: FFXIV top percentile dragoon parser - Will come to Classic when his next xpac is done.

this is why you level to 60 and then walk away. It’s what I did in legion and bfa and it was great. No drama, no elitists, just pure roleplaying and then you wait for the next lore injection.

Unfortunately yes

I don’t have any friends.

It gets worse the older you get.

In my 20s we could get 5-30 people together any night of the week within an hour… Now we’re older, live further and further apart as people get houses instead of apartments, have to deal with spouses, extended families, kids, coordinating sitters for said kids, driving arrangements because we live further apart, budgets, and conflicting schedules, all before we can have a real get together type event.

You’ll find those things stop being “a few times a week”…then turn into “maybe this week”… Which becomes “maybe this month”… and then there’s the whole “oh we just saw each other you know *has to stop and think about it” stage… I think one of the worst was when I ran into one of those fringe friends that I knew and who used to come around a bunch but that I wasn’t particularly close with… My “How’s the baby?” question got responded to with “well she’s seven”… Followed by a really awkward pause, as I realized that yeah… It really had been that long.

Rogue, Paladin, Priest, Warrior and 3 others trying to decide what they want to play/do. Trying to push them all toward PVP or RP-PVP server type.

My friends are all Classic haters so none ;w;

31

I have two or three friends that will probably be playing Classic.

Strategy isn’t really a thing they do, though.

32

I’ll be your new friend. Screw those guys.

Look at it this way, the lack of friends you have joining you is more room to make them. Besides i’m everyone’s friend.

34

Even that one Night Elf Hunter named xXLegolasXx?

35

I have one IRL friend who will almost certainly play Classic.

Unfortunately he does not share similar goals with me and does not plan on participating in end game raiding. He also will most likely play on a PvE server whereas I will certainly be on a PvP one. So I probably won’t play all that much with him.

So who wants to be my friend?

36

No!.. Yes… I can’t even deny this, after the time i wasted 2 month’s teaching a blood elf hunter how to properly trap and MD on a BC P server a few years ago. But i did it, i made him somewhat competent so at least he’s only a XLegolasX now.

I was the first to get married of my “group” and the first to start having kids. I was fortunate to marry a gamer. Kids go down at 8pm and we stay up a couple hours longer to get some pixels in. Most of the other friends married non gamers and are “shamed” for gaming if you know what I mean.

We have just a friend or two that plays games anymore and 0 that play wow lol.

38

My wife isn’t a gamer. I still play video games from ~9 to midnight just about every night.

We see each other every day. Don’t need to spend 100% of my free time with her.

The only thing shameful with those other guys is that they give up their hobbies for their wives. That’s not healthy in a relationship. Just causes resentment.

Got none, half the reason I want to play classic is that I hope to encounter some new people and make friends. Hope it happens soon, because I can’t stand the
feel of the community in BFA.
