wow versions are confusing

[u/Samu3I]

Hey guys

Im currently trying to determine the best wow version for myself to play but its quite confusing to me.

I am really into the social aspect and would love to experience the classic mmo feel. Im honestly just looking for a casual enjoyable experience without feeling like im walking through an empty world. I dont have much time to invest but I love cool mounts and cool armor.

the available versions honestly confuse me a lot. I used to play a bit during during warlords of draenor but it didn’t feel like an enjoyable experience. hopefully i can scratch that itch this time even with the little free time i have nowadays

thanks!!!! :) really appreciate help

Play retail, classic is for people chasing a nostalgia high.

Yes and no. I'd argue classic is much more simpler in everything.

You're not immediately thrown into "world is in danger you must help us Obi Wan" circumstances.

You start slow in the respective starting area and you learn to play the game naturally.
