I’d love to come back and play the game again, but two things prevent me: how intensive my studies are, and how much Blizzard has ruined the setting.
I seriously can’t see the magic in a setting where the souls of dead characters go to be re-embodied in a realm where, if they ‘die’ there, they’re dead for good. The setting is just totally deprived of a moral core in this and other respects - I wrote up my feelings about this in No Warcraft without Christianity - #74 by Wrall-argent-dawn. And the recent lore which suggests that Elune is a construct on par with the Shadowlands ‘gods’ almost completely strips her of mystery. Mystery is at the heart of religion, so I don’t see how a properly ‘religious’ roleplay - which was always my interest, even back when I was an atheist and even as I mostly play mages - is possible anymore.
The Classic setting is untouched, but Classic servers were sadly dead on arrival for RP. I don’t see a future for roleplay in the Warcraft universe as I remember it.
