Praises or critics can be send here! Also if there's anything you wish to hear about please send your requests here!The fragmentation of World of Warcraft across multiple versions and hundreds of servers creates an illusion that the game is dying, despite a healthy player base estimated at 3-6 million players.• Weekly world bosses include Shirai in Hallowfall and the Gobfather in the Undermine's Cage of Carnage• Battlegrounds and Pet Battles are this week's bonus events with increased honor and XP• The weekly brawl is Cooking Impossible, requiring 30 ingredients• Mythic affixes are Ascended and Tyrannical for increased boss difficulty• Retail WoW offers more engaging PvP compared to Classic's "rock-paper-scissors" system• Classic WoW's slow pace can be boring for players who prefer more stimulation• The game isn't dead but feels emptier because players are spread across 200-300 different servers• The Undermine zone captures goblin entrepreneurial culture but rates a "generous 6/10"• The new drive system is interesting but may need adjustments for older zones• Story mode for raids is an excellent addition for players who don't raid regularlyCheck out all socials and the Etsy shop where a unique weapon from World of Warcraft that can split into two blades will be available in the next couple of days.
