Hi r/wow! I had a silly idea to host something fun and kinda uplifting for folks this weekend with a silly eye-spy kinda plushy hunt in a corner of a neighborhood!
It's themed around the idea of what would happen if magic hit some plushies and they took over while the residents were away! I invited some home builders from Home Sweet Home and a few other talented builders like Botanicole and they really took off with the idea! The houses are incredible, and I feel like I learn more and more about housing each and every time!
# When:
Every day NOW through Monday February 16th
See the posted schedule below for what times the neighborhood will be open each day!
**Saturday:** 2/14 *Shift One* 11-3pm *Shift Two* 4-8 pm
**Sunday:** 2/15 *Shift One* 11-3 pm *Shift Two* 4-8 pm
**Monday** 2/16 *Shift One* 11-3 pm *Shift Two* 4-8 pm
# Where:
in a Warcraft Cares neighborhood in Razorwood Shores [in these houses!](https://imgur.com/a/8jraZRY)
How do I get in? we'll be inviting people in the group finder both Horde and Alliance under a Love Day Plushie Safari Listing.
They will look like [this](https://imgur.com/6XMXEmg) and [this!](https://imgur.com/5kOWQAd)
We'll walk you through the rest once you join! It's really meant to be something silly to do on a holiday weekend alone, with friends, guildies or with a special someone for a few minutes!

Tried out Moonguard after 20 years of playing. This server brings back that "magical" feeling the game used to have.
I've always played on high-population servers but found the world to feel dead. Nobody chatting, general & trade channels don't get much action, stuff like that.
I thought I'd give an RP realm a shot just to see if the atmosphere is any different and picked the infamous Moonguard. The community and socialization is unlike anything I've ever seen. No matter where you go there are just people... everywhere. Some are RPing, others are just chatting and hanging out. There's events going on all around you. Stormwind is so busy there's always a two second input lag from the sheer volume of players hanging around. General and trade channels are lively, fun, and people just shooting the shit.
RP isn't for me, but the server definitely is. It almost captures that nostalgic feeling about how the game felt when it first came out. Anyone else try Moonguard after years of regular serviers and experience something similar?

Why can't the damage meter show how much damage individual casts hit for?
Details used to show how many casts, how much it hit for, how much it crits for, highest hit, average hit, etc. Now neither Details nor Blizz's dps meter shows any of that. Is that really hidden information now?

Retail isn't dead. The social structure is just different from what Classic players expect
title. my youtube recommendations are overflowing with youtubers who quit playing around pandaria, came back to try the newer retail expansions and only ever did rdf/open world content then immediately fired up their cameras to make videos about retail being a singleplayer game. the typical route if you want to be part of the dead game discourse is to go into the questing zones, queue for the lowest level content you can find and complain nobody you run into wants to be your friend.
i understand that in classic the socialization hits you immediately. you have to manually group up with people to clear any instances at all, and some quests might have you invite a couple people to help. but at level cap finding 40 people to clear raids consistently is such an undertaking that active realms start to revolve around the 2-3 gigaguilds that can reliably roflstomp naxx every week, or around the industry of "tank/dungeon carry services" and if you don't wanna join them have fun sitting in trade chat/discord until a pug forms.
the source of potential confusion is that, in retail, it's in reverse. you won't really find people in dungeons or in open world zones, because that content's been basically made into the tutorial. it's singleplayer intro content made to ease new players into their class and into basic wow concepts before they're forced to interact with people later on. but once you're done with that, you'll find out that hc+ raiding, high mythic keys, rbgs, arenas etc. are all bustling with thousands upon thousands of players who are all looking to make friends and have active tight knit guilds who run daily stuff together. you only need 5 people for keys and 10-25 for raids on retail so it's way easier for small groups you run with on a whim on a weekday night to become consistent regular premades. as a long time classic player trying out retail for the midnight prepatch i felt lied to.
i played classic servers since they launched in fall 2019, all the way up to the tbc release, and then i played retail up to the point where you do m+ keys. i felt like retail was far more active and way more fun because you had more content to do with others every week, and because it takes very little commitment to get into any of it. i found plenty of discords and guilds dedicated to running keys every day, people invite you to hc/mythic raids on a whim as opposed to the gargantuan task of raiding on classic, and dozens of rated pvp guilds on every realm are open to teaching new players.
not to mention the fact retail's level scaling makes it way easier to just invite newbie friends to the game. you don't have to make an alt (although you can), and you don't have to wait weeks for your level 37 buddy to catch up to your 61 character before you can play together. since everything you do contributes to leveling up your character, i can just get up and join a friend on another continent and it won't be a waste of time. in classic if i'm at a different point of the rollercoaster than my friends oh well. guess i'll play another game.
i get that a lot of people like classic and i might get flamed for this. i agree the lore and atmosphere used to be way better, and nobody's forcing you to play retail. but automatically making it an axiom that classic is "the better game" just because retail doesn't force you to manually yell for groups in trade chat anymore even though it has so much more to offer is just delusional.

So what will happen with voip chat on wow with the age verification coming to discord?
https://www.theverge.com/tech/875309/discord-age-verification-global-roll-out
I don't use voip, at all, ever. I am curious what the fallout will be with this change to discord and what it might mean for the game.
Also, don't do this to use discord, IMHO it is a personal data grab and that kinda crap is WAY out of hand.

Belf Voice lines and acting
I seriously hope they reconsider whatever direction they decided to take with some of the new voice acting for blood elves. Some of them are good, but too many are so sterile, bizarre and disney-like. Belves are supposed to be prideful, condescending, and intense. Some of these new lines are straight up whimsical.
Not to mention the aversion to any sort of edge in the game anymore, the ancient, pretentious, genocidal, magic crackheads seem to have grown a little soft for a game with dark fantasy vibes deep within its roots.
I'm sure I'll get shit on for criticizing this shit but damn, kinda sad to see the soft design directions since dragonflight.
Edit: as an addendum, I will say Astalor Bloodsworn (Prey fella) and his Sanctum are phenomenal. More of that please.
