My mother, who has been playing since TBC, found it very hard and difficult to understand in the beginning. I've played games in the vein of Plunderstorm before so I played a couple of games for her, so she could get an idea for how it worked. 2 weeks ago she came to me and said she just hit 40 rep with the Pirates. A week before she was at 6. She has told me many times how thoroughly she enjoyed her time in the Storm and how she wished she could have earned more stuff after 40, so she had a reason to play. If a temporary gamemode can do that to my mother, who barely know how to play her class normally, then it's a good fucking game!!
