Everybody is talking about how WoW is going through drought right now. I can see where it’s coming from. The usually populous Ironforge (on just about every server I’m on) is dead.
But there are good reasons for you to start playing WoW if you’re thinking about it and haven’t taken the plunge.
- The economy is SO inflated on most (if not all) servers that gathering professions will earn you ridiculous amounts of money. I was given a total of about 20g by friends when I joined Bloodhoof last week. In a week I’ve made that selling ore three times over.
- There are entire zones that are completely devoid of people right now. Have you ever been playing an MMORPG and had to wait for a mob to spawn? Go quest in Desolace. I guarantee you… there will be nobody there. (Yesterday I was on Bloodmyst Isle with a friend and watched a rare respawn three times, which makes me wonder whether the spawn rate for rares is based on load.)
- If you use me as your referral, I get a cool zhevra (zebra) to ride on! Seriously, if you’re interested in playing, let me know. I want one of these puppies so bad.
