Came back to WoW this weekend after not having played since Cata back in 2011 (got bored of Destiny!)
I had a full set of toons of my old realm but decided I wanted to start afresh on Silvermoon-EU for a new experience and so far I have been absolutely loving all the quality of life changes they've implemented.
Luckily I still had all my old Heirlooms so just had to relog into all my old toons to get them to activate (stupid design that but hey ho) and that's making leveling a breeze. Playing a MM hunter and dungeons are going so quickly that I've out-leveled the quests I was doing each time I spawn back out the dungeon so I'm basically leveling almost entirely by DF and spending time in between picking up flight paths and gathering.
Also got lucky and managed to slip into a 30+ only guild (I'd prefer to play with people closer to my own age of 29) who seem a really decent bunch and already helped me out with some early leveling and gold. That was after being a member for all of 5 mins and being unknown to every one of them. Made me realise how much I missed the social aspect of this game and all the memories of my old guild came flooding back and for a second I considered jumping back onto my old realm. I know most of them are gone now though and I really do want a fresh start experience so going to stick with Silvermoon and the new guild for now. Seems I do have a lot of reading up to do though but looking forward to getting to cap!
A question though for anyone as I struggled to get recent answers from Google. Apart from activating the Heirlooms, is there anything else I can make use of from my old toons or is most stuff still locked behind Realm only transfer?
Im on Silvermoon EU as well. Ive just come back and looking for an over 30 guild for my prot pally. Do you think i could join yours?
