    Blizzard just banned a Hearthstone pro for a pro Hong Kong statement in a victory interview. If you're still playing Blizzard games, you're supporting a company that is willing to sell out democratic ideals to make a buck.

    Not currently as I am fully into Elite Dangerous at the moment. But I was an original, and started playing WoW in 2005 and still use my main in BfA. I have great memories of my guild and all the online interactions with people back then(**) and when I get tired of ED and try Classic I’m hoping it rekindles that experience.

    ** I was/am a paladin, and earned my mount the hard way. If you are playing Classic you know what I’m sayin’ LOL.

    I have played World of Warcraft since 2006. I currently have a 120 hunter I played with from the beginning and a 120 demon hunter. Also a lot of alts.
    I play WoW classic on the side since a week or so, I have a level 9 warlock currently. I still like both versions of the game.

    Haha that’s awesome! If you know - you know ;) You should check out classic it definitely feels nostalgic! With brand new economies it was even harder to get my mounts :)

    That’s amazing, your husband is a lucky man!
    Is hunter your main then? How come you didn’t go with hunter on classic?

    I didn't want to do the same thing and thought warlock might be more challenging.

    My husband doesn't want to play WoW, he's afraid he'll get addicted.

    I never really got the hang of Space Invaders and I've not progressed over the years...

    It can happen! It was family thing for us. While my two sons were in college and HS we’d all play together; my two sons, me, and my 65 year old mom who fully leveled a gnome warrior! We were in three different states and we STILL tell stories of our adventures together.

    My youngest son (age 26) is playing classic now and really encouraging me to jump back in.

    An alt of every class and at least one one of most races, even some females.. a long story..
    I have Pally and Warlock mounts and all Druid forms including flying form all obtained the hard way.
    I get pissed when they have a new expansion and don't allow flying on mounts and include Druids. Druids don't need flying mounts flying is meant to be a part of what they are.

    After competitive events, winners are generally interviewed. During one such event, someone from Taiwan put on a gas mask (a symbol of the Hong Kong movement) and said "Liberate Hong Kong, the revolution of our times" which is something of the motto of the Hong Kong protest movement. Blizzard Taiwan who was sponsoring the event banned him from competition for 1 year and stripped him of his prize winnings. This was justified because the rules prohibit anything that makes the company look bad which means whatever they want it to mean. Basically, they were worried that China would ban the company's games from their country if they didn't come down hard and since $$$ > basic human rights, they folded like a cheap tent.

    As people who buy products from China, we are all passive enablers of their horrific human rights violations, but this was a company becoming an active participant in stopping the spread of dissent which is to some a big deal. But I guess the organ harvesting of political prisoners and attempted ethnic cleansing of religious minorities isn't a big deal to some as long as it doesn't impact them.

    With china its all about total control of its people and where possible their thoughts. Anyone and of course their descendents that stayed in Hong Kong after we pulled out will reap that whirlwind .. perhaps leaving was not an option or perhaps they were just stupid.. I don't know.

    As for the West ..we underestimate the patience of the chinese. What they are doing to the west and what they will almost certainly do it in the future is pay back for the way we all (almost every nation of what was then predominently white people) shit on them about 100 years ago ..and that would have been worse had WW1 not come along whan it did. I honestly believe that anyone that does not share a similar view is either naive or burying their head in the sand.

    If an organisation a big as Blizzard the owners of WoW and other games is already sucking up to the chinese state it does not bear well for the future.

    When the chinese effectively own and therefore control the west (not if) we will be in far more trouble than 'interesting times'.

    Name one major gaming company that doesn't do something like that for the Chinese market. Also, Blizzard said politics aren't allowed in such forums as a victory speech. Third, they back pedaled, gave him his money, and cut is ban in half. Ya'll are mad just for the sake of being mad and the shift to Riot Games makes THAT obvious. lol

    A N Y W A Y

    No Warcraft Classic for me! I haven't even finished the war campaign on retail yet! Lol. Not that I haven't been playing a couple days a week, I've just been doing not much productive until lately.

    One thing to be said about wow classic is that there are still a lot of people playing the present BFA expansion for whom WoW Classic was the original WoW or the present WoW of the day... and I imagine they like me are really either not interested in going backwards or quite simply do not have the time to play Classic WoW as well ... and of course playing WoW Classic does require an additional subscription which not everyone can justify spending that kind of money on

    If you sub for BFA classic is free.

    I have the time to play because I have a good sub, but I can imagine not everyone does.

    You only have to pay one subscription to play both games, not two subscriptions.

    Where do you lot find the time..
    I've always found you need a dedicated chunk of time to play online games in order to make any real progress.
    I barely have time to play a phone game these days. :(:(

    I played it back in 2005 and stopped after mists. I started playing classic because some of my old guild mates reached out to me that they were restarting our old guild in classic. Got up to 30 on my shaman and just stopped because life and wife. Don’t have the time I use to when I was younger to spend hours every day on the game.
