If you could put an exact copy of your consciousness in Azeroth, but you had to remain outside irl, would you do it?
This copy of you gets to experience everything as if they were really there. Everything from the grass beneath their feet, the indescribable sense of power that flowing mana gives, and the sharp, serrated beak of a tall strider digging into their shoulder if they’re not careful enough.
You won’t get to experience any of it directly - but they wouldn’t be able to go back once they’re in. Important clarification you can still choose race/class and all the mechanics inherent in the game are still there - you can still Rez if you die. This also comes with the caveats that like - you’ll have to experience everything your class/race canonically experiences. Void whispers, fel hunger, hooves, or gods forbid BEING A GNOME…. Y’know how it is.
Would you do it?
And if so, how do you think you’d react after like, a month?

I would not do that to this human no way. Not unless they can just go into voidform and forever stay away from anything elite enough to touch them.

Naah, I’m good. 3 seconds into landing on Durotar I would probably hear “mrglmrglmrglmrgl” so no thanks.

OH LEMME INCLUDE SOME THINGS - you can still choose race/class and all the mechanics inherent in the game are still there - you can still Rez if you die or smth.
If you’re a shadow priest though you will have to deal with like- the implications that class has. Voices, shadowy apparitions, the whole shebang.

LFD frost DK. Essentially wouldn’t feel pain then and still be pretty badass. Probably other LFD to look out for my wellbeing on a bad day and I can just sit in space on the Vindicar if I want watching over Azeroth from the window.

Y’know what - that’s an excellent solution to this. Like that race/class combo counteracts the DK’s biggest hurdle which is just…that craving to cause pain and death. Intrusive thoughts but worse. The LFD community would be heckin supportive though - like you’d just have a bunch of super trauma-informed folks giving you outlets the entire time you’re chilling.

Player character is the good guy-girl. And I basically struggle with the death knight stuff anyway lol. I reckon my copy would aswell. Good for everyone all around.

No way. I don’t think my copy would survive in that world for long and I don’t want myself to go through such experience. It wouldn’t be me, but it would be like a sibling twin. In fact it’s such a horrific experience that it deserves an episode of Black Mirror.
