Right now, there’s a plethora of ways to play WoW, so how do you play WoW?
We have classic Era (shout-out to Deviate Delight for a community driven fresh server experience).
Season of Discovery for a taste of classic+ (though opinions seem pretty different now than on launch at how successful it is).
There’s private servers, like Turtle Wow, if you’re looking for a different take on the game.
Cataclysm classic if you want to experience the world revamp.
Mists of Panadaria Remix if you’re looking for a new way to level or want to grab some transmogs.
And finally, retail.
Personally, I took a break at the start of phase two of season of discovery and came back when I heard about Panadaria Remix. I bounced between remix, cataclysm, and deviate delight on classic Era. I’ve finally settled on leveling a character on cataclysm. The mechanics are a nice middle ground between classic and retail, and the revamped world is fun to experience again. I’ll likely jump into remix in a month or so to get the transmogs.
So, with all of these options, what are you playing?
I haven’t tried Warmane myself, but I definitely sympathize with wanting to just jump in every now and again. Compared to the mega servers of current wow, private servers can seem small, but I find they their player base is usually more active / engaged
I’m following another private server called Epoch that’s supposed to launch some time this year. They have custom content supposedly, it looks pretty cool.
Yeah, that one has been on my radar as well! I definitely plan to check it out when it releases. Fingers crossed it actually comes out this year!
