I used to tweet into the void, but the Blue Sky is so much better. Casual longtime Warcraft player. Still thinking about what else to put here. Fan of hot peppers / hot sauce!

It's interesting to me that a lot of opinions about Forever seem to ultimately stem from the idea that Retail will be inevitably taken over and put down behind the shed by Forever. It doesn't show a lot of confidence for Retail if one thing comes along and everyone's like great she's DEAD now!

You expect this from a roach but it's only allowed to continue because every day Blizzard makes the decision to allow it. But I'm sure if they just hide enough "ban asmongold" replies the provlem will eventually go away on its own

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

Every obviously-long-awaited class, race or race/class combo that goes to #Warcraft Forever *exclusively* is an utter betrayal of decades of player investment in Modern #WorldOfWarcraft. It’s really hard not to freak out. Like my WoW social circle would collapse in ragequits at “forever-only bard.”

The World of Warcraft community remains mostly on Twitter. Very few came over to bsky or threads, wowtwit remains so much where it's at I'm still forced to go there to get screenshots sometimes. So Blizzard do have reason to believe if Forever turns into a Nazi bar most people will still stay anyway

When we normalise harmful discourses we are also contributing to social norms. The "Just a joke" deflection is an attempt to not only get away with existing prejudices through "humour" but also to legitimise them. What we say, hear, write & read over and over can become thought, & then accepted.

So if you hide replies for everyone on bsky they're filed away under "show more replies". All hidden replies under this post are asking if Asmongold is going to be banned. So we've found the unacceptable content Blizzard will moderate

I love how this logic explicitly disproves the whole "Vanilla was the peak of friendly, community-driven, you-live-by-your-reputation times in WoW" thing since by this logic, the people who quit because Vanilla ended are all toxic racists who throw tantrums when told to stop being little shits.

“You don’t tell 30-40 year olds how they should or shouldn’t act” Yeah, actually you do. All of them had to agree to the TOS, and sustained harassment is very much in violation of that. Idiot.

Either the terms of service apply to everyone or they do not Why do we talk about this guy like he's magic? Like he's a king? Is that really where we are? Popular or mean enough streamers are a sacred noble class now? Blizzard's choice is actually simple. They enforce their TOS.

I think the thing I like best about WOWF so far is the water and the dramatic lighting, although sometimes the fog is a bit much. The waves rolling up the dock at SW harbor were a surprise. Otherwise, it has been a nice nostalgia trip (aside from the SW chat comments). #WoWF

Youtube just suggested a video with Bellular looking grim on the thumbnail and a title of "It's not you. It's Retail." and my "Oh, fuck off Bellular" reaction was immediate and visceral. Forever's greatest crime might be giving YouTubers a new excuse to piss on Retail.

There is a difference between people are silly and will draw a penis if you give them a chance, and people are actively part of a harassment mob led by a known instigator. Confusing the two helps no one.

I just want to point out The WoW playerbase needs to absolutely NOT let the Asmongold thing turn into faction tribalism (and thankfully so far people have been good on that) Not just because it's stupid, but it feels intentionally designed as a way to shift it into "faction discourse" territory -

Also I know there's a lotta talk about how "The Forever devs are actually laying down the law and speaking up unlike those cowardly Retail devs!" Which... is cringe, they aren't laying down anything, they're still tolerating a literal cult leader using their game as a platform.

I'm gonna be very honest... and perhaps harsh. No. Playing Alliance doesn't mean you're a fascist. He does not actually represent the faction, or its players. Let's not turn this into a "Alliance means you're morally bankrupt" shit show. Asmon's lack of a ban is Blizzard's responsibility.

Right now Warcraft Forever is being hailed by some very odd corners of the comminity as something like the anti-woke wow - "the war back in Warcraft" only feeds that weird perception, but sooner or later that's gonna wear off,

Honestly most people dont like pvp for the same reason they dont like playing a game where you risk running into Olympus. Games are recreational fun and there's not a lot of fun in being whispered slurs by a 40 year old basement dweller who still thinks he's 14

I think they were trying to appeal to the worst kind of people intentionally... And I've never felt more alienated as a WoW player since. Hell I functionally main Alliance right now and I already feel second hand shame just for playing the same faction as these cunts. They need to be deplatformed

There's actually a reason I felt so weirdly uncomfortable when they started shouting all the buzzword statements in that panel. Combined with them actively allowing the parasite cult to thrive and grow and claim to "represent" an entire half of the player base is extremely worrying to me.

What blizzard should take from Forever: People want slower stories written with care, that build on established lore, a chance to sit at at a campfire, not an endless parade of world ending threats pushing you on the next treadmill What they'll probably take: People want more elves and less flying

Even outside of shipping, writing by spite is probably the worst way to write something, and this calls into question pretty much any other major dev decisions, and discourages...any good faith reading of the more iffy parts of the modern WoW story right now.
