I spent most of the year debating whether or not I would be returning to World of Warcraft. The question of my return remained a constant back-and-forth battle, but the length of my stay remained constant. I knew before I had even decided to buy Warlords of Draenor that I wouldn’t be in it for long. This return was not going to be a history rewriting affair, but instead a short, bittersweet homecoming and a last hoorah.
Let me get this disclaimer out of the way: World of Warcraft is still a solid game. The years have been kind, despite some of the faults of the game’s engine or its older models now showing their age in comparison to the new. Most importantly, it’s a fun game and an excellent cooperative experience with your friends. Warlords of Draenor is a positive addition to the game, and it has a lot to love. If you are still somehow on the fence or you have never tried World of Warcraft before, I still vote you give this game and this expansion a fair chance.
