where to start

I have not played in about 3 years. Any suggestions :.D???

 

start a new character, do quests, run dungeons, do professions if you really really like heavy grinding, talk with other players.

 

Start a new character, speaking from experience it can be kinda confusing to come back to a character you have no clue where you left off on. Do your quests, they have changed a lot in 3 years and new stuff has been added to experience, while doing these use the Wiki it's a huge help to navigate your way around. Dungeons also are fun to do when you unlock them through your playthrough, the same goes with the Corrupted dungeons. I would also recommend installing a mod pack from Curseforge, or anywhere else there are a few ways to do this it will help your gameplay GREATLY, or if you don't want a mod pack you can just use Wynntils its one of the best mods to improve your experience. Good luck and have fun!
