Hey folks!
So this isn’t meant to be, like, a conventional challenge. But it’s SO easy these days to travel, especially with dynamic flying. And I want to be clear that I absolutely adore the flying these days. But, I offer a thought to your leveling experience this expansion.
The rules of the ‘challenge’ are simple:
1.) No mounts, within reason. Mount up for convenience and when you need to, only when you need to reach crafting nodes or flying courses and so on. Just use flying/ground mounts when you really need to.
2.) RP walk when traveling to your next destination. You don’t HAVE to follow the road, but the goal is to encourage traveling and meeting folks on the road and just taking in this BEAUTIFUL new scenery!
3.) Run the most when you have an objective. If you’re doing a quest where you’re under attack or running away, whatever, react with roleplay! Delves and other similar content can absolutely be done while running, as an example, because you’re in a hostile area.
4.) CAMPING! When you stop to AFK, set down a campfire in a spot that makes sense (don’t do it on the road), if you have one then feel free to pop down one of the tents, use tea set or food toys, etc.
None of these rules are super solid, obviously play how it feels fun to you! And add rules, play with friends, whatever you like and whatever is comfy! I did this with Dragonflight and I am LOVING it with War Within. It’s an absolutely gorgeous way to enjoy the new setting and it feels weirdly fresh.
Happy expansion, whether you’re early access or digging in on Monday! Cheers!
