RotanWorld of Warcraft used to just be a game to me, something to get lost in and wander around purposefully for fun, to enjoy myself. Nowadays I find myself more concerned with my or others' performance in raids, dungeons, and any facet of the game really.
I'm experiencing a personally longing for the simpler days of exploration for the sake of seeing something new, not being rewarded extrinsically.
i miss when WoW was just a game.Rotan2024-04-28 | World of Warcraft used to just be a game to me, something to get lost in and wander around purposefully for fun, to enjoy myself. Nowadays I find myself more concerned with my or others' performance in raids, dungeons, and any facet of the game really.
I'm experiencing a personally longing for the simpler days of exploration for the sake of seeing something new, not being rewarded extrinsically.
Let me know if you feel the same.
Take care!the fight for Classic+ has begunRotan2025-09-02 | Blizzard has officially filed a lawsuit against Turtle WoW. It’s a moment that feels like Nostalrius all over again, and it raises bigger questions about private servers, the future of classic wow, and whether classic+ will ever be real.
The players' voices are only getting louder, and this seems like the pivotal moment.
For business inquiries: rotanwarcraft@gmail.comthis is the Classic+ we were promisedRotan2025-08-09 | I’ve been chasing the dream of Classic+ since the first day Season of Discovery was announced, but it was never quite what I hoped for.
Recently, I tried Turtle WoW. This isn’t just Classic with tweaks — it’s a vision of what WoW could have been if Blizzard had taken a different path in 2006.
New zones, races, events, and a thriving community. This is the Classic+ we’ve all been waiting for.i logged back into WoW searching for HomeRotan2025-07-12 | I logged back into World of Warcraft searching for something I wasn’t even sure I could name.
This video is about nostalgia, growing up, and the feeling of home... in both Azeroth and real life. Things change, we change, and sometimes we go back looking for the past… only to find something new instead.
Whether you’ve left WoW behind, returned recently, or never left at all, this is a story about all of us who’ve ever wanted to "go back".
Thanks for watching.

With the Collector’s Bounty buff up for July 2025, I figured it was a good time to see how quickly we can blast through some old dungeons and try our luck.
A lot has changed since Cataclysm—drop rates, portals, even how fast we move—so let’s see how Vortex Pinnacle holds up today.

These are the FINAL Class Tier Sets coming in Patch 11.2 of The War Within! In this video, I showcase every armor set coming in 11.2 - from LFR, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties from the upcoming raid: Manaforge Omega. There's also questing, PvP, and miscellaneous sets included.

Thanks for watching — and as always, Take care!i admit it – Undermine killed my hype for WoWRotan2025-05-23 | so we've been able to visit Undermine for quite some time now, as we are quite a ways into Season 2. But even from the first week, I felt like I had to force myself to keep playing.
I usually enjoy Goblin stuff, their starting zone from back in Cataclysm was a breath of fresh air. To me, though, this zone and story arc in Season 2 doesn't feel like it fits in very well, or has the same vibe that I was excited about coming into this expansion.
who knows, maybe I'm wrong, or maybe more will come of this in the future.
Let me know what you think about Undermine and Season 2, and tell me if my opinion is bad or good.
For business inquiries: rotanwarcraft@gmail.comso i tried Valheim 2 i mean Runescape: DragonWilds...Rotan2025-05-06 | Here's my look at Dragonwilds, Jagex’s unexpected entry into the survival crafting genre. It's Valheim meets Runescape—grindy skills, familiar enemies, and surprisingly great combat. If you've ever lost hours to OSRS, this hits hard. For fans of Runescape, Valheim, or just good early access survival games.
For business inquiries: rotanwarcraft@gmail.comRetail? Classic? SoD? I just wanted to play WoW...Rotan2025-04-15 | In this video, I dive into how World of Warcraft's multitude of versions—Retail, Classic, SoD, and more—may be fracturing its own community. Instead of expanding the player base, these variations might be causing confusion and division among players.
Take care!WoWs Forgotten Player JailsRotan2025-04-03 | In this video, i explore the hidden and rumored player jails of World of Warcraft, including the Karazhan Crypts and Stormwind Vault. We will talk about their hidden purpose, and the reasons behind their abandonment.
Player jails have always been cool to me, and it's evident WoW had them too, but alas... they were scrapped.
For business inquiries: rotanwarcraft@gmail.comfrom Ashbringer to Obscurity: WoWs fading iconsRotan2025-03-12 | World of Warcraft's storied history is riddled with legends and myths, and the items and weapons are no exception. But as time has gone on, less and less of these armor sets and weapons have entered into myth, or the hall of fame. Instead, they vanish into obscurity in the very next patch.
So is there room for another mythical item? Or are we always bound to move on through a sea of generic new items?
Let's talk about it.
Take care!
For business inquiries: rotanwarcraft@gmail.comAvowed isnt the next Skyrim... and it was never meant to be.Rotan2025-02-14 | Avowed is pretty great, if you temper your expectations and take it for what it is. A Fantasy RPG from Obsidian entertainment, who are known for small in depth worlds. Not large sprawling sandboxes.
For business inquiries: rotanwarcraft@gmail.comthis is what makes Classic WoW fun.Rotan2025-02-02 | Ever wonder why Classic WoW still thrives after 20 years? In this video, we’ll break down what makes Classic WoW fun. Slower pacing that turns leveling into a journey, class identity with quirks like Hunters managing ammo or Paladins “seal-twisting,” and a community where friendships form organically. Hidden zones and unfinished secrets spark curiosity, while a player-driven economy makes every gold matter. If you’ve ever wanted to lose yourself in a living, breathing world, this is why Classic WoW is still fun.

Take care!WoW feels like a game again.Rotan2024-08-30 | The title says it all. The War Within has been an awesome experience so far, and it really feels like a return to the World of Warcraft that I've been dreaming about and reminiscing about for so long.
This makes me excited for what the future may hold for not only this expansion, but the expansions beyond in the Worldsoul Saga.
Take care!

For business inquiries: rotanwarcraft@gmail.comthis is what makes WoW fun.Rotan2024-07-23 | World of Warcraft has a lot of abilities that are there just for fun, and those are the abilities I tend to be the most fond of, and want more of. So I wanted to cover a few of them, just to have fun and celebrate some of these great abilities and how they make me feel immersed in the world.

I've noticed that as time has gone on, I have become disconnected from the smaller details in WoW.
In this video, and the series I'll make from it, I am attempting to "stop and smell the roses", as it were. Let me know what small details in WoW you found that make you feel more connected and immersed.
For business inquiries: rotanwarcraft@gmail.comthe real liminal spaces of WoW.Rotan2024-05-17 | I've seen a host of videos about World of Warcraft's "unreachable" or "unknown" or "secret" or "hidden" or "liminal" spaces, but they all show off the same places. And I have to admit, I'm guilty of showing off some of those too.
I wanted to go further, I wanted to explore, and find that child-like wonder again. But I didn't know where to look at first, since I knew most every zone and instance in the game by heart. But I succeeded, and I found deep liminality along with it. Welcome to the WoW Backrooms.
Take care!

This Zero to Hero Challenge really never got off the ground, lol. Tried as I might, life really got to me. And that's not an excuse, I accept responsibility for the lack of planning, but I didn't want to scrap the whole video when this is probably more realistic to how most WoW players, even those at Mythic level, play the game.
Since only 11 Dungeons were completed, some people complete that many in a single day, which would of course blow this out of the water.
Regardless, I hope you enjoy this realistic Zero to Hero mythic+ dungeon challenge.
