And man, a lot has changed. Like many, I just decided to hop back in to finish any outstanding business I have in the "old" Azeroth before the expansion hits. I plan to continue playing afterwards, though. 
 
I still have a handful of upper level characters on Hellscream (US), but I've recently been longing to get back into a PvP server for old times' sake. Is anyone else starting fresh or interested in creating a new character? Also, is there a guild anywhere with multiple Giant Bomb forum members? I would like to join a community guild (or maybe even start one) if possible.

" @Mars_Cleric:  That's what is so brilliant/manipulative about the newest expansion. It's the best time to start fresh. So much about the leveling process is being improved. Rogues can even heal themselves now (minorly)! "

Gonna bump this thread with the hopes that someone new is watching. I guess I choose some pretty terrible times to post, eh?

I went back to it recently as well, but that was all for naught since I picked up New Vegas and haven't touched this since. 
 
The changes were overwhelming at first, it was as if they found every good add-on out there and put it in the base game.  I may have left bad impressions of it when I was offered a free week of play-time sometime after Wrath of the Lich King released, but I understand how daunting the game may seem to outsiders, especially with as large a player base the game has, so they essentially made it much easier to get into, which was great for me when I felt like I had no idea what to do with my level 76 warlock.

Have fun. It's an amazing game.

This thread's title makes me sad.

Oh man, if I ever actively use my account again after "finishing" New Vegas, it has to be when Cataclysm hits. If I'm going to hit this game hard, I will have to uninstall New Vegas. And if what gakon said is true, I'll probably roll a new one in that server when the expansion hits.
