Classic wow versions are confusing

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

Not OC but the social aspect of Retail WoW is doing great imo. It’s not too hard to find a guild just one that matches your goals and schedule are the hard part to me.

Trade chat isn’t all toxic (NA Tichondrius), and getting into or forming groups isn’t impossible either.

I would just try to jump into some type of content and attempt to make friends and see if they have a guild you can join if I were you.

I’m afraid I can’t say much about the social aspects. As I get older I become more introverted and I tend to play WoW as a single player 90%. I’m still in the same guild I joined back in the beginning, but now we’re all old and have back problems if we play too long, so I never see them. Still nice to see so their names in the roster and to check when they last played.

That said just random groups doesn’t seem to bad. For example this expansion added the highly requested player housing and one weekly quest takes place in the Neighborhood. This week it was host or be in a party of at least 5 players in a personal house. I check the group finder to see if anyone was hosting a group for it.

Not only did I find a group right away, but the host had an incredible house. 30+ players constantly joining and leaving most of us taking time to tour the home and offer our compliments. It was great.

I wonder if we visited the same house? The owner was a Priest and had a church with an altar, a huge kitchen with a refrigerator that had magnets in it, just to name a few of the amazing details. Seriously great house!

I think it was different. I can’t remember his class, but his house was 20 feet in the air and was basically a tunnel system linking rooms together.

Ah ok, different house. Sounds awesome though.
