Still, there is a lot that you give up when you streamline the game to the extent that Blizzard has over the years. As I've got older, I simply don't have time to dedicate to the game, and the systems in place now, like the Looking for Raid feature and the Dungeon Finder make it easy to enjoy the game on my terms.įor me, there's definitely an appeal to being able to log in every once in a while, and get something done, without feeling the pressure to get in there every single day, just to be able to see everything. I have to admit, there are a lot of aspects to the current version of World of Warcraft that I still love. Sometimes, WoW Classic really is about sitting back and soaking it all in (Image credit: Blizzard) Is WoW Classic better than Retail WoW? This meant I actually had to be aware of what was going on around me while leveling – something that was amplified by the fact that nothing was labeled on our map. Especially as a class that wears cloth, rather than the mail or leather of other classes' armor, I didn't exactly put up much of a fight. I tried that once in WoW Classic, and regretted it immediately. In the current version of World of Warcraft, I've grown accustomed to pulling every enemy in sight simultaneously, to just make everything go faster. Maybe it was just our hazy memory, but exploring Tirisfal Glades as a low-level Undead Warlock felt wonderful. Azeroth is a mysterious place, and while we thought that our embarrassingly huge amount of time in the game over the years would spoil that mystery, it really didn't. I'm this new adventurer in a huge and open world, and it feels like that. The leveling experience, and being out in the world, feels like a chore – something to get out of the way before I can get to the content that I actually want to play.īut, the first thing I noticed when jumping into WoW Classic is that it felt like an actual game from the get-go. You see, whenever I set out to level a new character in the current version of World of Warcraft, or "Retail WoW", I strap our new character with powerful "heirloom" equipment and just turn on autopilot for the next 20-30 hours until I hit max level.
