My initial scan of the options left me with the impression that no scaling UI option existed, so I ended up spending most of Tuesday mucking around with the impenetrable MoveAnything addon and reconfiguring by hand.

Now that I have a 24″ monitor that nags me for being in anything less than 1920×1080, within five minutes I started developing neck pain from having to look to the far corners of the screen to squint at quest text. When I looked at my old WoW screenshots, it looks like I was running around in 1280×960 resolution, which was fine at the time.

Not quite PlanetSide 2 starting experience bad, but close. To someone just coming back into WoW from a long absence, the returning user experience is pretty bad. It has been more than a year since I last played, and I understand that a lot of my ire would not exist had I been playing continuously this whole time. I say “technically” as the first two sessions were 1-2 hours long and essentially involved me downloading and configuring over a dozen addons because Blizzard’s UI options are atrocious. Awakening at my favorite spot after 1.5+ years.
