Should I Dive Back into WoW Retail or Classic?

-

Hey everyone! I used to be heavily into raiding in WoW and played pretty casually up until Mists of Pandaria. Lately, I’ve been itching to get back into it but I’m torn between jumping into retail or trying out the classic servers. I wouldn’t mind leveling from scratch again, as I think it might help me get back into the swing of things, but I’d love to hear your thoughts and any suggestions you might have! Also, I’m on the lookout for guilds or groups that would welcome a returning old-school player, as I’m missing some gaming buddies. Let me know if you have any recommendations or if there’s space for me in your crew!

I’d definitely say go for retail! It’s super easy to level up, and you can enjoy the game at your own pace, whether you’re casual or hardcore. With the way things are set up now, you could reach max level with a new character in just about 3 hours. Plus, there are tons of leveling guilds out there, and cross-realm features really help connect players. You won’t have to stress about anything too serious until you’re at max level, so it’s a good way to ease back in.

I’m interested in those recommendations too! Is it really just about 3 hours to level? Do I need any crazy addons before I start?
