I loved helping my guild. I miss feeling like part of a community like that.
My power supply died while I was in the shimmering flats and took most of the other components with it. That was the last time I ever played WoW.

I remember asking to join groups to make quests faster and being told, it would hurt their exp. Lovely community.
I remember going on a Zeppelin my first day and seeing a guy duel a priest and get MC'd off the flight. Damn these people were so helpful to newbies!
I remember going to strath and wiping on the first five skeletons because we had to wait seconds between suinder armors because the warrior in question didn't know how important of a skill that was and didn't geet the talent that reduced time between swings in the prot tree. I remember a feral druid insisting that they couldn't tank as a class and as dumb as he sounds the game didn't explicitly make it clear, so I can't really blame him in hindsight. Man people were so much more knowledgeable about the game back then!
Man were going home bros! Back to a time when people were dumb assholes in the game just like they are now! Isn't that exciting:?

This memory always cracks me and my friends up, while waiting a long ass time for a WC group we just needed a ranged DPS and waited forever and end up getting a fire mage. His characters name was Chaarizaard.
Yes! We have a full group! Now everyone has to walk to WC. Just before everyone arrives, the dude says sorry and bails, he had to go.
>Chaarizaard leaves the group
after a brief moment of silence, one dude in our group types "Whose next? Pikachu?"
This always cracks me up.

I dunno about fond memories, but here's a WoW story that actually happened. >Playing vanilla, meet some chick (we'll call her Nicole) and start talking a lot over whispers >Eventually trade phone numbers, begin talking a lot at night >I'm 24 and she's 30, married (though I didn't find THAT out until later) >The conversations are fun at first, but quickly get depressing as she frequently vents >Then one day she gives me a call around noon, out of the blue >She tells me that she's going to take a trip to visit me over the weekend >She arrives by plane, comes over, and the two of us begin fooling around >Suddenly she tells me that she's married, but she wants to cheat on her husband with me >Before I can even respond she begins telling me about her husband who ignores her and her son who she hates >She tells me that she wants to divorce her husband and never go back, and that she wants me to put another baby in her >Eventually calm her down and convince her to take a nap to sort out her feelings >By the time I wake up she's gone, she blocked my number and never logged onto WoW ever again >Kinda regret not fucking her Haha what a story

I found some really bad epic staff, I think it only had spirit and int on it, for some reason a level 60 mage bought it for 800g. That's the only reason I ever got my epic mount.

Blizzard made Uldir fucking irrelevant with one patch and handing out gear for fucking free. No wonder people use raider io to seperate lottery-winning shitters with actual skilled people.

Ian Jones
So it's just like vanilla. Have fun
Mason Sanchez
correct. I probably won't play classic, but BFA is just as tedious, the tedium is just in different places
Gabriel Rivera
but all of those things make for a cohesive, realistic world. sorry it's not streamlined so you can ding max lvl in a day, zoomer.
I feel like I'm getting old, because WoW dropped when I was graduating high school and I don't exactly have fond memories of it. All my great memories were from FFXI, which I found to be a superior game in every aspect outside of PvP.
Will kids today be looking back fondly on shitty MMOs like FFXIV?

Matthew Murphy
I was just a wee lad playing on my dad's account and since neither of us knew what to do and I was a kid, I just took his advice. First char was a warrior and he said for weapons to always find the highest dps, so disregarding stats, top damage, 1H or 2H I'd always just look for highest DPS. Good times trying to level a warrior like that
Colton Gomez
I never played WoW because it was just dumbed down Everquest with worse gameplay and worse pvp. Pic related was fun, though, despite only one server worth playing on. It wasn't this one.

My only memories of Vanilla was creating a character, leveling to 25, deleting it and starting over, sometimes doing so with the same class/race combination. I was too young and online games were new to me. I'm also an ESL and used to play before I knew "doing X in order to Y" didn't mean to do things in actual order.

I unironically loved having to get soul shards. people bitch about farming them but I never did, I just got a few for summons and picked up the rest in the raid.
idk, feels good knowing that you actually have to use a resource from death as a lock instead of just mana. flavorful as fuck.
Nolan Harris
Me too having no space in your inventory. Not having fun, now those are some great features.

Actually, you just outed yourself. Raids in vanilla were about 10-15 people 'tard wrangling everyone else until you hit AQ/Naxx. Warlocks not bothering to bring shards was incredibly common.
Ian Moore
did you have the mind reading addon installed? how did you find out how many shards people had?

Daniel Flores

>my post with explicit details is 'its bad because it's bad' Yikes, your retarded way of posting was probably acceptable on private servers, but not during vanilla

I remember chilling in SW with another nightelf guy and two nightelf girls. Sitting around the moonwell in the park and things like that. Going around in a tuxedo. Ive played wow since release and i was 12 at the time. I sucked at the game. I only got lvl 60 right before TBC release. My brother gave me his lvl 60 rogue though and i did manage to raid some Zul'gurub. I remember one of the fish from the raid which was dead but it was kinda on land and floating, so i did a flex emote under it as a gnome and took a pic, it looked like i was lifting it up. While i did enjoy playing vanilla, i know its not going to be the same. Times have changed and so have people. >WTS MC RUN! Going in 5min! Taking gold or irl moneys!

It dropped in sunken temple for me,I won the need for it and sold it on AH. My autistic teammates were spamming my name in cities and told everyone i was a ninja looter.

Speak for yourself. Of course nothing was perfect. But I have a guild hat still today, and a bust of my character when they offered those, it was like 70 bucks or something stupid. It was a part of developing who i am, and how i talk to people, it was a place i could escape from my shit life and not want suicide.
>Playing my NE rogue and doing /pvp and unstealth infront of lowbie undead, /wave. /giggle before restealthing and having my 60 priest friend go MC them around till we got bored and made them jump off cliffs. Why is it always NE faggots. I remember leveling an orc shaman in the valley of trials and there was a 60 NE hunter taming lvl 2 boars and then letting them stand around while shadow melding nearby. luckily I saw it from the beginning but some other poor souls attacked the boar, got pvp tagged and then aimshot critted. fucking brutal
Landon Ortiz
Sorta answered your own question really it was shadowmeld and that was great since non-stealth classes could inv to set up that shit and rogues got +1 to the SUB class and if you had 5 in it and was a NE it was treated as 6 so you basically could not be detected except for hunters with flare. As to why people do that shit, meh its fun to fuck with people, Orcs did it in Redridge all the time I just preyed up UD players because the area was more fun.
Thomas Williams
I made this shortly after TBC release... I was 13.
I still won the roll so its only fair if I can decide what to do with it. First I wanted to use it but then I realized its a downgrade so I just sold it. To my defense , I was just 12 years old.
