Returning Player - Complete fresh start

Hi!

I’m returning to WoW after last playing towards the end of Dragonflight, so TWW is completely new to me. I also happen to be moving from EU to US, finally. I made the move IRL about 4 years ago and only just now decided to start a complete fresh account in a timezone that makes sense for me.

I have absolutely nothing on this account, it’s completely fresh. It’s very intimidating as I’ll be “losing” about 10-11 years worth of progress from my EU account, but it’s something I’m really serious about doing.

I have no idea what realm to stick with. I’m currently on Stormrage after being told by a friend that it’s the most popular Alliance server and I primarily play Alliance. I’m not one for raiding or mythic content, I’m a very casual player but I also want to be a part of something social. I used to play on an RP realm but I’m unsure if I want to venture back into RP at this point, although I did enjoy the liveliness of a roleplay realm, so I’m open to moving to one of those, just unsure which.

I’m primarily seeking a friendly social and casual guild in my timezone. I play from the early hours of CST and honestly, I just want some people to chat with and run older content with as I’ll be catching up on what I’m missing from my EU account.

Have you also considered Communities and Discords?

I would imagine that at least the Achievements Discord

https://discord.gg/achievements

would be of interest to you, since you will be repeating achievements to build up collections on your account again.

For realms, here is a list:

If you sort it by population and consider Blue lines only, for Alliance, you have some suggstions.

For RP, if you want to investigate, maybe make a character on Moon Guard to chat with some people and get a sense of what it’s like? Or here’s the MG forum: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/c/moon-guard/77
