I am leveling a gnome warlock in Classic. Today I invited a gnome to a party for a quest. Then another guy joined, he was a gnome. Then another one, who was a gnome too. Then a human. We had so much fun shouting GNOME POWER after killing hordes, refering to the human as “the tall one”, and just roaming around in the gnome band. So much fun, for hours. Then the human and two gnomes left and I’ve been playing with the gnome bro left for the whole day, talking about life on discord. Now we are friends, even if we are separated by 2000 km irl. And I’ve made more friends along the way, this is not the first one, this is today’s case.
Thanks, WoW Classic, this is EXACTLY, what I wanted from WoW. No shiny items, no badass epics or legendaries. I wanted to be in this world and make friends, and that’s what’s classic wow is giving me.
Quest design sometimes is awful, makes no sense and it can be infuriating, it’s true, classes like the warrior or the paladin are a pain to level up, mage in end game is a 1 buttom spam guy, etc., but that’s nothing compared to what this game offers.
