That beta can't arrive soon enough.

Really enjoyed the shadowlands developer update today. Liked the look at how things have changed and can’t wait for beta next week to get my hands on it.

Gamers love planning these things ahead of time.

Trying to decide what to do in Shadowlands is stressful. Part of me wants to go hardcore Raider since I have the time and drive to. Part of me wants to chill at my own pace with fun people.

Got til pre-patch / release to make a decision and possibly apply to Guilds.

It's great to see fans so excited.

I'm so pumped for Shadowlands. I know the community is split and everyone is complaining about classes, but as a filthy casual whose playing a Demon Hunter through BFA right now... I'm loving it so much and I am so excited to get into shadowlands. Just need better gear now 😅😅

The livestream didn't hit the same for everyone, though.

I was really excited about Shadowlands, I'm not anymore.
