In this video, I jump into World of Warcraft as a brand-new player and experience the Exile’s Reach starting zone, Blizzard’s modern tutorial designed for new and returning players. As someone who never played WoW back in its prime, this is a completely fresh perspective on what the game feels like today.

If you’ve ever wondered “Is World of Warcraft still worth playing?” or “Can I start WoW in 2025?”, this video is for you.

This isn’t a hardcore guide or endgame breakdown — just an honest, first-time experience and reaction to one of the most iconic MMOs ever made.

Did you start WoW years ago — or are you thinking about jumping in now?
