Been on and off since 2021

I haven't played much regular wow since back in the day when WOLK was first released. Me, my 2 GF's, my cousins, and sister all used to play it on LAN. But with the release of COA, 21 classes which i discovered back in 2021. Than waited all this time to finally have full release where you could go further than LVL 20 is awesome. I been playing lots after not playing since 2008 originally. Its the best server out there to me period. I only played that and Bronzebeard but only to like LVL 10 then. Its well worth the try Reaper, Knight of Xoroth, and Guardian are the only classes I personally have tried myself. If your reading this get on it before crap Blizzard shuts them down next. Which i hope isn't for another 6 months. Than i can quit WOW all together in peace.
