That's pretty much it, I always hated pvp and never made a character on a pvp server ever again. All it did was slow my leveling and exploring.

I was casually ganking in Hellfire Peninsula once and there was this night elf girl with the "I'm better than you" attitude. Basically as soon as I started ganking her she didn't even try to fight back, just stood still and did /laugh, /pity and so on at me. This pissed me off so I corpse camped her for an hour until she logged off.
Added her to friend list on an alliance alt and started following her just out of spite. I ganked her in several different zones, for the next couple of days she could only level in instances since I kept following her.

The pinnacle of my art of ganking was when I noticed that she was in Blasted Lands for some reason. No one levels in Blasted Lands. So I went there to check, and found her in the alliance castle, Nethergarde Keep. With like 15 of her guildies in the main hall. They were having their cute little RP guild meeting. So I went and killed her in front of her entire guild, vanished and got away with it. All of them were chasing me around the castle, it was glorious. While they were looking for me I went back and killed her once more.

Then I started getting angry whispers from her white knight guildmates, including her self-proclaimed internet boyfriend. They were threatening me with reporting to GM and getting me banned, the usual stuff. In the end she stopped logging on and never seen her again.

I always thought they were fun and a good change of pace. But that's just some vet with 10+ alts that got tired of the same shitty starter zone quests.

The quests aren't that bad the first or second time around, but only newfags would have had to do them more than a couple times at most. All the vets had a ton of alts waaaaay before Cata. You sound like a Catababy.

There's a difference between grouping up with other people questing in the zone to go fuck up some Alliance or Horde, and coming in at max level with seven other people to spend the whole day killing the same guy half your level over and over.

There was one day I camped this poor lowbie so hard I must have killed him 20 times

I don't like them because your skill as a player really isn't taken into account at all. Also the ones in starting zones are especially obnoxious because you have to go through them every single time you make a new character of that race.

Why would you be making that many alts to begin with? Shouldn't be doing that shit more than once or twice if you were a vet player. Also who gives a single god damn fuck about player skill while LEVELING? 90% of the retards won't even set foot in my raid group so who gives a fuck if little Johnny wants to get to level 60, he'll quit when he realizes how archaic all the BC leveling is anyway.

Shit was the best. I remember constantly rooting alliance close to town until the guards kill them too.

>doing the Nesingwary quest was essentially the same as the Belfry Luna/Sol towers

Wasn't STV litterly the only place to quest at 30?

>>377655640

Leveling really was pretty difficult if you played on the big PVP servers like Blackrock, Illidan, etc in vanilla wow

There was really no way to escape being camped. You had to either deal with it and hope they get bored or corpse hop your way to town and go somewhere else. You couldnt really level just doing dungeons because getting a group was a pain and the exp was shit

>>377655729
I know you could go to loch and still level/quest at 30. I think you could in the area south of loch as well, whose name escapes me

>>377655706
At no point in WoW's lifetime has leveling ever been difficult. Complaining about the new race starting areas is only something Catababies complain about.

>>377655856
Oh and I think the wetlands too?

>>377655729
arathi highlands a bit, also desolace.

>>377655845
I dunno I played Horde on Illidan since early BC and never really thought that much about getting ganked. If I got killed a couple of times I would just stop playing for a little while and come back later.

Yeah it was a great experience for newer players and expanded the PvP aspect of the game but it was never that much of a hindrance to people leveling, even then just spam trade chat for some Blood Legion players and they would come running.

>>377655845

You can't say leveling was never difficult in the same breath that you say no vets had more than one or two alts.
>Complaining about the new race starting areas is only something Catababies complain about.
Have you ever made a Goblin or Worgen? Have you ever tried to make another? It's the most tedious bullshit ever having to go through all of these long, scripted quests that you know every beat of over and over every time you want to make a new character of the race you like.

>>377655845
The way to deal with gankers back then was to ask for help in WorldDefense or have a guildie broadcast in Trade. There are usually raiders/anti-gankers bored enough to respond. That's usually how the TM vs SS or STV skirmishes start.

>>377656121
Something like that happened to me up in...fuck. The alliance part where the tauren mill is. Anyway I was running around in my weak loser hunter character and I run into a level ?? ud.

14 year old me chased down by lvl 60 druid while trying to level my first lvl 30 character in STV. I remember being killed so many times that he made me cry out of frustration.

Months pass and my warrior is lvl 60. Leveling a lvl 30 alt warlock in stv. Ganked by a lvl 60 hunter. Get on my lvl 60 warrior, fly over to stv, kill and camp my ganker until he logs off. My thirst for revenge on the alliance will never be quenched.

>>377656212
>Have you ever made a Goblin or Worgen? Have you ever tried to make another? It's the most tedious bullshit ever having to go through all of these long, scripted quests that you know every beat of over and over every time you want to make a new character of the race you like.

I've only made one of each race to experience the lore aspect. I don't really make new characters, why would I if I have an alt of every class already? If I want a different race I just pay for the race change. Pretty much every alt I have now was leveled during the BC or Wrath era. I started in Vanilla as a Warrior, arguably the worst leveling class at the time unless you camped the AH for the best gear for your level. Obviously I didn't make a Paladin until BC since I played Horde.

Like I said. There's no reason to make that many new alts unless you are a masochist or newfag.

World is changing so fast every generation has a legends to tell how the world looked like when they were young.
There are still people who lived and remember WW2 and at the same time there are people born who never experienced a world without cellphones, tablets and internet everywhere...

In vidya world anyone who is 30+- and had a computer or consoles as a kid and up to today really did and still lives a legend. They witnessed practically the whole story when games got popular, from 286 to todays VR. They played the first multiplayer game types, be it splitscreen, dialup, lan-parties with sleepovers.

Scaling down to only WoW anyone who played from start is a legend. You witnessed it all, from the very begining and WoW is THE MMO that will be remembered a long time as something that defined genre of modern MMOs.

I've always reacted in a similar way to ganking. Why waste your time trying to fight a hopeless fight? Just let the ganker do his shit then move on when he's done.

I've actually never understood the point of ganking people. You don't gain anything from it, and there certainly isn't any challenge to it. You're just wasting the time of everyone involved.

>>377653573
Guilds on PvP servers generally had further progression so that attracted a lot of people that just want to PvE. Also, before there were designated Oceanic/Latino realms, these communities would just choose 3~4 servers to gather in, and there's not much of a choice if all of them are PvP servers.

Anyway, rolling on PvP servers for PvP is sort of like rolling on RP servers for RPing...most people don't actually do that. By TBC, there were major faction imbalances throughout all servers anyway, everyone just rolled the same faction making them essentially PvE realms where you see an occasionally hordie or gnome to kill.

I used to play on RP-PvP servers for like 7 years. I loved it, I was mainly a raider but I could always find PVP or RP when I felt like doing it. I miss that server so much, but my officers blamed having a hard time recruiting on the server being RP, and then made us all transfer to a PvE server. I went with the guild because I played with those guys for 6 years. Of course recruiting was just as shit.

Do you ever play games where the player is more powerful than the enemies? ARPGs? FPS games where you pop 10 AI soldiers with headshots in a few seconds?
It's just fun to kill things, even more so if there's a human on the other side.

Honestly for me it was a stealth game simulator. The best part was when 3-5 max level player showed up and I kept killing their lowbie friend that was standing next to them and then I escaped. I saw it as a challenge for killing that lowbie no matter how many players try to defend him, and then escape, denying their kill.

>>377657429
Why were you pvp flagged in a horde capital on level 7?

>>377651241
I used to always swim down the river for the first part of the trek, as on my server the PVP ganking seemed to gravitate towards the entrance of STV (as well as outside of Booty Bay and outside of the Gurubashi Arena).

After that I'd try to make it through staying off the main road, but there was a group of Troll casters and some high level gorillas that I'd always aggro and have to use Feign Death to try and ellude.

STV was a major part of the WoW experience for me, having to run through it constantly to get on the boat at Booty Bay, going from these scary runs, to eventually reaching Level 60 and no longer having to worry about the mobs in the jungle and actually getting involved in the ganking and counter-ganking.

>>377657595
Wow you actually paid that little for leveling services? Damn I just paid my neighbor's kid to level my character for me instead.

Wow you guys really are the poorest of the poor.

>>377657612
Most of all, I prefer a fair challenge. I also don't like to waste anyone else's time, which ganking most certainly does.

I enjoy PvP, but I've never enjoyed ganking, neither doing it or having it done to me.

>>377657429

>>377657612

>>377657734

>>377657735

The challenge comes when the max level guys arrive. It's not so easy to dance around multiple people spamming stuns, dots and bleeds on you.
For an extra challenge you can try separating and killing them one by one. I did that too, when I saw a chance I fought the max level people.

It's extra satisfying when the big brother arrives and gets camped right next to his lowbie friend.

This is what made pvp servers fun for me, just the aspect of not knowing whats coming up and prepairing. Iremember redridge was hell and fun at the same time because of that

Absolutely disgusting, I can't believe we post of the same website.

>>377658020
Because you arent pvp flagged in a starting area even on a pvp realm, especially if you're level 7 and have no reason to take it off

>>377658062
I have a big love/hate relationship with RR and STV. They were either super fucking fun or soul crushingly shitty with how much ganking you got

>>377657984
I suppose, but it's still a huge waste of time for everyone involved, and all you're really accomplishing is making someone else upset. It's alright for you to enjoy that, but I never saw the appeal myself.

Also, that's a very roundabout way of getting to fight people on the same level when you could just go and fight them as is.

What if WoW was a perfect VR game and you could do anything?
Would you go on a """"""low level""""" raping spree on your rogue? Would you capture and torture members of the other faction?

God damn what a disgrace. I import all my landscapers from Sweden and Germany and always make sure they are screened so only true Ayrans are allowed to touch my gardens.

Get off my board you peasant.

I can answer this, you get autoflagged for no good reason taking a portal from one place to another, like shattrath or dalaran to Stormwind to visit the AH

Horde had options, Alliance didn't. There was almost nothing for them to do in the Badlands (south of Loch Modan) whereas the Horde had an entire quest hub for around 35-40 in addition to the neutral quests.

Dont care, its gone now, ill never be happy again.

WoW music is still godly.

Man all this modern interest in classic WoW servers is nice but unfortunately the #1 reason why WoW was amazing can never emulated. The community. Shit like this is what im talking about >>377656185
That shit just doesn't happen now because all the games secrets are known inside out and all people care about now are just minmaxing everything. Vanilla was a one of a kind experience that you just had to be there for. If your first time playing classic wow was a private server then you really missed the boat.

>>377659131
Well, there was Desolace.

Did Dustwallow Marsh have quests for ally or was that a BC thing

>>377659608
dustwallow has damn near nothing in vanilla for allies.

>>377659608
dustwallow had a few quests for alliance, though I don't think a lot of those were from the actual area. I think most of them were the "go to dustwallow" type

>>377659608
Dustwallow had no cohesive questing for anyone until BC revamped it. Horde got to make a stop there for free experience from the burned inn though.

>>377659608
That was a BC/Wrath thing

I remember a short period on my server, where again, the geared raiders were bored and decided to camp and kill Rexxar just to piss off the horde.

I play on ElysiumPVP and that kind of shit happens daily. Not at that scale, usually, but it's not rare to find a group of horde raiding Menethil or harassing Darkshire, or vice versa with the alliance fucking with horde towns, and having a group of friendly 60's show up to push them back. And shit, earlier today the Horde launched a massive raid on Stormwind that ended up crashing the server for a good 20-30 minutes because it was so big.

If you're looking for that kind of spontaneous world PVP, it's still there.

Also, I largely played on PvE servers back then, so world PVP was never a significant part of my nostalgia. Most of my favorite memories come from grouping up for quests and dungeons and just making friends with the people I met along the way, which again is something that I'm still finding on these types of private servers because vanilla WoW was just built in a way that encouraged that kind of stuff.

I didn't actively seek out wPvP back in vanilla, it died down with the introduction of honor and BGs anyway. However, I usually stay around for skirmishes in neutral towns. On one hand you're ganking, on the other hand you're trying to avoid getting killed by the guards. Sometimes you're baiting lowbies to get themselves a repair bill. Most of the arsenal town guards have now are reactions of town-ganker tactics.
>Gankers used stealth, guards get anti-stealth
>Gankers climbed to rooftops and evade-bugged guards, guards get ranged attacks and knockbacks
>Gankers hit fast and ran quick, guards get snares and roots
