DDO Tuesday and Warcraft Wednesdays coming to retrogamer blog

When you are going up against bugbears, kobolds and hobgoblins in DDO, best along to bring a healing hire if you are soloing the wilderness area.

It is not often that you get a second chance at anything in life. However, earlier this month I found out that Wow Classic is dropping fresh server and realms on November 16 and I all I could do is smile and think to myself, “I’m in.”

The year was 2019 and it does not seem that long ago that I had dedicated myself to going back in time (gaming time that is) along with seemingly hundreds (thousands?) of nostalgic Wow players and rolled up a character for the upcoming Classic server launch.

Well fast forward to the end of 2021 and I regrettably didn’t get very far in my previous endeavor to casually level a toon in the new classic server. With work and RL getting in the way, soon the expansion dropped and I lost interest in Classic, especially after the servers seemingly became ghost town empty realms as everyone else had jumped to TBC.

By now most of you know Blizzard is planning to drop what they are calling their Season of Mastery servers, but in case you were out to lunch when the announcement was made like I was, here is some info with all the deets.

Well, I have not been updating the old blog because frankly I have not been playing a lot of mmos, even in the casual manner in which I am accustomed to because these days most of my free time has been spent vloging on my Youtube channel dedicated to D&D and not playing many mmos. That changed this evening when I decided to dust off my level 4 (soon to be 5) barbarian on DDO. This is the game I want to play when I am not leveling up in Classic.

For one thing, this is the best time to be getting back into DDO. Players ca use the Coupon Code DDOQUESTS2021 between now and the end of the year (through December 31st, 2021) to get all of the game’s currently-available adventure packs for free.

Take a hire and solo an area or dungeon of your choosing in DDO.

I went to the inn after a few quests, because that is what you do in Stormreach and practically every other mmo and fantasy game in the history of fantasy gaming.

So until wow classic fresh servers drop a week from today and I am once again able to roll up un undead warrior, rogue or caster to fight for the horde in classic Azeroth, I will be biding my time with my alternate mmo of choice.

This is my casual gaming schedule and blogging plan:

DDO Tuesdays

Warcraft (classic) Wednesdays

Everquest 2 over the weekends or whenever I need a break from the other two.

Won’t you join me and come along for the ride? It’s gonna be epic. Well, maybe not epic but I guarantee community and fun.
