E: Forgot that blizz is a Microsoft company, which is massively complicit in the Palestinian genocide, so I'm boycotting and encourage others to play a better game aswell ๐Ÿซถ

What are your thoughts? Anyone still playing/diving in again/quiting?

Ain't played since Shadowlands launch and not kept up at all with the game but I hear it's been a relatively upward trend overall?

I've literally not seen a single screenshot or read more than the sentence "it's launching soon" about the new one, but I feel the calling deep in my bones.

I played the last expansion and it was pretty enjoyable but donโ€™t plan on jumping back in for this one

If youโ€™re looking for a guild to play with Iโ€™m a member of Commune, as the name implies itโ€™s a queer leftist guild

I do also feel the need to mention that Microsoft Gaming including Blizzard are high targets on the BDS list, which is a large part of why I wonโ€™t be playing this expansion deeper-sadness

The guild rocks though and they do play other games besides WoW

    My application said "I've been a Hexbear member for five years without being banned" and it was good enough. It's a shame EU servers have such high latency for me. The US offerings for leftist guilds were really lacking and I can't play with 300ms ping.

    It's just being based in the US. Even right next to a major network hub, my latency on any game with servers there tends to be like 20-50ms. With European servers it's always 100-200 with spikes to 500ms, with Oceanic it's a steady 500-1000ms and constant disconnections.

    yeah that's why i suggested turtle because it's free so even if u have mildly bad latency who gives a shit you're not pvping or raiding, 100-200 isn't anything for dungeons or random questing. plus it has a bunch of custom content.
