What's the deal with the Shaman water totem quest on the Horde side?

Just finished the Call of Water quest as a Draenei, and it wasn't too bad at all (the Earth and Fire totem quests were super easy too). I hear lots about how horrible the Horde side is... what's wrong with it?

Taking courses with restrictions, then transferring into the major with that restriction afterwards

I have a question. Some courses on the timetable states that some course sections are restricted to certain majors/cannot be enrolled in certain majors.

Would it be an issue if I'm not declared a certain major, register for a course section that states "cannot be in enrolled in (major)", and then transfer into the major afterwards?

Levelling a Shaman on Nightslayer... I like the Alliance experience, but prefer the Horde characters... should I stay or switch over?

Hi everyone, I have a dilemma.

I played WoW a long time ago back then on retail (TBC and WoTLK), and just recently starting playing again on TBC Classic on Nightslayer.

I am currently playing a Shaman, and I 100% want to stick to this class as I am really enjoying it. However, before I invest too much time into my character and level them further, I am debating if I should stick with Alliance, or switch over to Horde.

I played Horde back then on retail, so I mostly got to experience Horde for the most part. I wanted to switch it up and play Alliance. It's been pretty fun so far, especially getting to see all the different towns like Lakeshire and stuff. However... I don't really like being a Draenei, lol, and it seems to be my only option as Alliance.

So please convince me before I go on further... Alliance or Horde? Which side is also more populated, especially in the 1-58 levelling zones? Thank you! :)

I am considering breaking into engineering... what are my options? Attended two different universities in the past

I am going into my 30s, living in Toronto and currently working, but want to pivot careers.

I first attended Wilfrid Laurier University back in 2016-17 for a year (my major was Communication Studies + Management Option). I was fresh out of high school. I withdrew at the end of the year due to personal issues at the time.

I then attended Trent University in 2020-2023 on a part-time basis while working full-time (I changed majors a few times, from Psychology>Computer Science>Business Administration). I completed two years worth of credits. I withdrew as I didn't know what I wanted to do and kept changing majors, and I didn't want to waste anymore time and money.

My GPA at Laurier is sitting at a D- (4 courses combined). My GPA at Trent is sitting at a B- (24 courses combined). However, my credits at both schools transfer over to each other, so this may not be accurate.

I did a lot of thinking, and I have decided to go back to finish my degree. I am interested in going into engineering, more specifically mechanical/aerospace. Neither Laurier or Trent offers any engineering programs. I am considering applying to TMU or York, as both schools offer engineering programs, and is much closer to home (I will be commuting). However, I am worried that I may not get accepted into these schools due to my low GPA, and it costs $150-200 to apply to each individual school alone.

I am wondering if I should: 1) finish my degree at Laurier, 2) finish my degree at Trent, 3) attempt to apply to TMU/York, 4) improve my GPA by taking courses and transfer later on, 5) consider an alternative route...

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Excuse me for this dumb question, but I'll be honest, I haven't really been a gamer in over 10-15+ years but I just started to get back into it, and wanted to play WoW again after many many years (last time I played was TBC/WoTLK on retail in the 2000s). I'm going into my 30s and have spent the past years focusing on myself, schooling, my career, my IRL friends, etc.

So I've only been playing for about a week or so, and I've joined and left about 10 guilds so far... it's full of players just going off, making weird ass sexual, homophobic, racist, terrorism jokes, South Park-like jokes... shit I haven't heard since the 2000s. It makes it even weirder that these people mention that they are full grown adults with careers and families, and I see them talking like 12 year olds, not even high schoolers would talk like this... I find it VERY hard to believe that a 35 year old man is talking like this. It's like those kids who say shit like "you mad bruh" to piss people off, and it's fucking weird.

What's up with this? Is this just a gamer thing? It's pretty annoying and cringe tbh, especially after 10+ guilds that I've joined and they're all like that.

I know they are discontinuing the Physics program, but is the Computer Science and Physics combined major still going? I'm looking at the updated 2026-27 academic calendar and it says admissions suspended for the Physics single major, but not for Computer Science and Physics combined major
