I did play a bit on retail World of Warcraft with my locked account and my dear level 20 characters. I like some Legion pre-patch changes like the automaticaly displayed health bars and transmog improvements but otherwise it is still the same and apparently I'm still not good at stopping myself from doings things I might not like (ie: killing myself repeatedly to get the Feat of Strength). I will probably play Legion a bit on my holy paladin, but I will be pretty busy with work and my current project. Mythic dungeons I hope you will finally give me an easy way to have raid content without all the messy planning required for 10-man raids!
I still do not have plans to play vanilla WoW again and I achieved my goal of not looking much for Kronos news. Apparently the population is quite stable, stability issues mostly fixed and I didn't notice much difference on the forums and Reddit thread in terms of discussion topics (too calm?). Upon relogging I could still find many players from the Friends guild that I knew, which is quite reassuring and a good sign to me. I wonder how the goldselling activities are faring, didn't hear about them. I still have access to all my characters, they still have all their gear, a bit of gold is missing but I don't care as I technicaly gave my account away. My chinese friend seems to have been quite trustable. Interestingly Tekai is now an officer in Horde Time (chinese guild) and, as I had predicted long ago, the War Effort is only at 96% with Purple lotuses, Fireblooms and Silk bandages missing (told ya those spawns, dynamic spawntimes and droprates would be an issue). That's 5 months of War Effort (for comparison, the fastest realm on retail needed around 19 days and over 90% of realms had completed it after 3 months).
Otherwise I love the harbingers videos, to me they are a great way to convey a story with few words, not too many effects and gorgeous pictures. Hopefully one day I'll be able to do something like that.
And... I have started drawing a different humoristic comic called The Science of Cookies, which is about cookies (obviously), but also the scientific process, health and social research, peer-review, cognitive biases, fallacies, ways to obtain scientific articles, social media issues and much more. It is written in french but an english translation is available for most stories on the comments section below. I don't yet know how it will fare but I am having a blast working on it, I'll thus continue to do so :D !
