Will our characters ever get too old to be fighting and adventuring?

I doubt it as we can all die as many times as we like and just keep coming back.

If the Lich Kings plan worked we would’ve taken Azeroth without him ever leaving his throne.

I like to think I already am.

When the group moves left then Right, I am still moving left as they go right.

I tend to kill more people trying to save me than if they just let me die and moved on.

I tell people to get off my telegraph.

It’s been 20 years and I still try to dodge roll.

A significant portion of this game’s player characters are essentially immortal, so no.

It actually is quite funny when the NPCs constantly refer to you as mere mortals (it’s an overused WoW writer buzzword) when you’re playing as something that has an uncapped lifespan.

:thinking:

This character started in 2004 as a nelf.

When legion came out, I race changed her to a human and made a DH with the original name, representing a change to the first character.

After a couple years, the human rogue “retired” and this Velf replaced her.

So, there’s a couple ways that could be done.

When we are too old to play them. :slight_smile:

I’m sure it may happen at some time, but right now, mine can barely vote, so, still some fire in the over there.

the 1st ones to go would be humans and probably gnomes.
:cherries:

My Character is so old now that he needs to Bio twice per boss fight.

“Man I started stabbin’ stuff back when combat rogue was actually combat and you had to do a 37 quest long chain as Horde just to do Onyxia, and let me tell you, Thrall hasn’t changed a bit. There’s something in this Azeroth water. Thrall still green. Rexxar still Rexxin’. Greymane, when we found him, still grey.”

My character slept weird by two millimeters last night so he’s out for a week with back problems.

IDK,

I think he’s had work done. I can barely tell the difference between Thrall and Madonna now.

Player housing doubles as a retirement/assisted living facility.

No worries.

It is even a bit more interesting then that, as WoW time is not the same as real life time passing.

Using the opening of the dark portal and the orcs coming to Azeroth as year 0 that the official timeline does, WoW vanilla started on year 25, and Dragonflight was year 40, War Within now 41+

So if we for instance say our characters were 20 when the Dark Portal opened, they would be 61 right now, if they were say 20 at the start of Vanilla WoW (year 25) then they would be 36 now.

And of course some races joined at different times, Pandarians didn’t join until Mists (30 years after the Dark Portal), etc…

No, but we will grumble about being “too old for this :poo:” at dramatically appropriate moments.

Because gnomes are short and the camera is badly positioned, oftentimes your weapon ends up in the foreground of your profile pic.

Think the assumption that the player can actively age considering all the events they have canonically been through is pretty interesting.

We have been infused with various powers throughout our adventure, blessed and cursed and back again.

Blizzard could just easily write-in that the binding we have with Azeroth is what sustains our eternal youth (also I believe this is the explanation for Resurrection magic and our ability to essentially walk back to our corpses) and why when other people die, they remain dead.
