Returning player and Midnight

Hey guys

I guess you could say I'm a returning player although I've only played maybe two years back in 2010's on some laggy private servers then again more recently I completed Legion and played a bit BFA with friends when it came out.

Anyways, my friends are now only playing on classic and are very sweaty, there's little chance we'd play together now, plus their server is full for horde which they play. Myself, being now a dad of two children, I have quite limited and somehow erratic play time.

BUT, I have recently become increasingly bored with solo gaming and feel quite lonely when playing. That's when It thought of good old WOW, especially since I heard a new extension just came out.

I'd like to play some solo content (delves and idk other things there are these days), but also try and do some M+, probably try to find some chill Guild where I can socialize a bit without having obligations.

I first thought of leveling my BFA lvl50 druid the good old way in the war within catchup but I feel like I'll loose some precious time (as I said it is limited) while I have a quite an itch about getting in the action and play with everyone else.

I am quite ignorant about Wow Lore (although I have some notions and am trying to catch up with YT synthesis) and don't really feel like I'd be lost more than I am now anyways if I go directly into Midnight..

Will it make any difference to play directly Midnight in my situation ?

I'm very eager to know your thoughts on it, again thanks a lot in advance'
