Last Week's Poll Question

Do you have any Hearthstone related (or content or IRL goals) for 2025?

Kaiyalai
- Hearthstone has taken a less active presence in my life as the Everything Keeps Happening So Much factor has been on the rise the past year, and peaked in December, so my goal is humble: get every monthly card back, and a little more ambitiously, enough gold to cover every mini set.
ElectricSheepCity
- My goal is to be more involved in the Hearthstone community... after grad school (I should finish up in June). I love the HS communities I'm in (this server among them, of course), and when I have more time I'd love to be more active again
JustAGuy
- My goal is to increase my contributions to the Hearthstone development team by at least 50%.
Wickedkitten13
- I’d like to get back to doing regular hearthstone content creation again. Hearthcasual ending has left a Hearthstone shaped hole in my heart. I miss laughing over flavour text puns and defending arena every chance I got
