My expectations are high for playing the Warcraft I was never able to play. I started in BC before the Sunwell patch released. During the last half of BC I spent most of my time re-rolling character trying to understand each class to find one I'm comfortable with playing.
I started off playing a Warlock until lvl 50, then rerolled a Warrior and played that all throughout Wrath. Then in Cata lvled an 85 Priest and 85 Hunter which I played all through Pandaria and WOD. At the end of WOD I had finally had enough of Blizzards lies and lore alterations so I refused to buy Legion and have quit playing WOW. I was thinking about buying Legion once it goes on sale but it seems pointless now.
My expectations are high for an Epic Vanilla experience but the reality is I don't have as much free time as I had in 2008-2010. I remember how it took me a full morning and afternoon to move out of starter zones and move into the next territory and how gaining XP was no easy grind. Mounts at 40 and no flying mounts will be difficult. After being experienced in the game and reading many guides I feel more prepared for this world that was once foreign and unfamiliar to me.
Thanks to people in Discord I've had some rich conversations about classes and their abilities which will be important in End Game and PVP. The only thing I'm waiting for now are the servers to go live and jump in with friends.
