This theme is my gratitude and a request

Hello, dear Blizzard!

This letter expresses my gratitude and a request. Please read it all, and I would appreciate any feedback you might have.

Throughout my life, I have played World of Warcraft. I remember the first day I encountered the game… My older brother played the vanilla version with his friends, and I sat behind him asking, “Jump into the water and swim a little, please? ” I love flying and swimming in World of Warcraft even now. Maybe that’s why I play as a druid.

I was just a 6-year-old girl then, and now I am 21 years old. Can you believe it? I have known this wonderful world for 15 years. Wow!

Azeroth has always been there for me. I haven’t had an easy life, and I consider myself a soft-hearted person. But your world has always been by my side. Azeroth feels like my second home. I remember how I discovered the Dark Portal. It was mysterious and a bit scary. I also fondly recall my adventures in Feralas… I still love that location to this day. As a feral druid, I feel peaceful there and truly at home. I don’t know how else to express it.

I have many cherished memories from my adventures. One day, I fought Onyxia. My night elf felt heroic like a dragon in battle! After the fight, I was shocked when Varian Wrynn approached me after the raid. I was like: “???” But after some of his words, I noticed a little guy running to Varian. I saved Prince Anduin without even realizing it. I left the dungeon with a sense of accomplishment and pride, thinking, “I saved a little silly guy; what a hero!” (I was about 10 years old, just like Anduin at that time, haha).

Later, I saved his life in Pandaria and again in Shadowlands… I even defeated Sylvanas during my first actual Mythic raid, and now I have Vengeance’s Reins!

Well… Today we face more global troubles, and War is not only in game, I see. But I am not an agressor and not a victim. I am just girl from Belarus who wants to be at home. Yeah, Azeroth is my second home and there is a safe place for my mental health.
I try to play in this game as always, but we know that It can’t be the same. Especially because I can’t save someone *ss. And I am begging you: please return me home. Give me a chance to fight for pure heart and see how Anduin (maybe) found the love of his life.

Thank you for your hard work. Perhaps one day I’ll join you as an artist or game designer. Who knows?

Best regards,
your Lapylina.

I’m quite sure, that you’re still allowed to play it is just that certain payment methods are blocked off.

There are ways around this which may cost you, but Blizzard won’t be able to change the situation until the actual IRL situation changes and lifts the Sanctions in and around Russia.

Good luck.
