World of Warcraft is most fun when played with friends or a partner. A WoW fan now shares his attempt to get his wife excited about Azeroth. Ultimately, the effort was successful. But at what cost?
How did the player manage to get his wife excited about WoW? On Reddit, windsshi reports that his wife did not grow up with WoW. The MMORPG from Blizzard always seemed “too cartoony, too generic” to her. However, she was eventually convinced to give this World of Warcraft a chance.
The couple first tried WoW Classic. That was a mistake. This version felt too outdated and old for her. Next, they moved on to the modern WoW. She found the new starting area and the regions of Dragonflight “okay”. Still, great enthusiasm did not arise. But then the woman discovered something she hadn’t noticed before.
Another story from the World of Warcraft community:
Morally questionable, but …
What excites the player? Windsshi’s wife randomly saw that one could create a class called Death Knight in WoW. It looked so exciting that she suggested to her husband to start over with a new character. It was the first time she wanted to do something in WoW on her own. Windsshi was happy.
In the starting area of the Death Knights, the woman apparently had a lot of fun completing the local quests and “butchering civilians, destroying their cities, salting their fields.” She even found a rather efficient way to torture multiple prisoners at once.
In the end, windsshi asks the community: “Should I be worried? … Maybe, if she runs out of quests for Death Knights. Does anyone have a suggestion for which expansion we should start once she completes the Death Knight introduction?”
How does the community respond? With over 2,100 upvotes and 250 comments. On the one hand, several WoW players recall how it was for them to introduce their wives to WoW.
- breads33 writes on Reddit: “I got my wife into WoW. It’s a really fun and wonderful thing to share with someone you love. Be patient. Be understanding. Don’t coach her too much. […] You can experience exploration and learning through her eyes. Congratulations!”
- Otherwise_Temporary5 recalls on Reddit: “Ironically, I got my wife into WoW and now she’s better than me. She’s in a mythic raid team and so on. It all started with a small RPG she played, and I said: If you like that, you’ll probably like WoW too. We’ve had many adventures together.”
Many players also have recommendations for the next content that might be worth it if you like morally questionable Death Knight quests.
- nosy_goblin mentions his clear favorite on Reddit: “Legion. The content of the Death Knight class hall is fantastic.”
- LinYuXie adds on Reddit: “Either Wrath of the Lich King or Legion. Wrath, if she wants to see the progression of the story for Death Knights and the whole plot surrounding the Lich King. Or Legion, if she wants more class fantasy (the weapon skins are cool too).”
- Kalandros-X refers to the Horde (via Reddit): “Just wait until she plays Horde and gets the quest where you destroy a village in Stormsong Valley, she will love it.”
