Maybe it's the boredom from the global lockdowns but I thought I might want to get into this game again. I didn't think it was possible but GMs helped me restore an account and characters from ~8 years ago. After 2 weeks of tickets, I'm back in! But I have no idea where to start.
What do I do? The game feels dead, honestly. I'm not saying that to troll; it just isn't how I remember it. I've gone around Stormwind and Ironforge on my "full" realms and there's no one around. The very few people who -are- around don't reply to "hello". Is this the state of the game these days, or are there more populated areas? I remember in WotLK these were the two hubs.
Anyway, it feels sad. To someone who last played this game about 8 years ago, it feels incredibly dead. Should I even bother getting into it again? I was thinking it might be fun to prepare for Shadowlands in my spare spare time, but is it even worth it? If I do decide to return, are there any tips you guys can share for returning players? Things I should know?
Thanks!
