it's not actually fun to play.

DUROTAR AND FUCKING MULGORE

I cannot even believe how amazing it was to run around the open plains (or desert) with your biggest concern being some sentient pigs or small splinter cults. Music was top notch as well.

Now everything has to fucking be a world shattering threat, and the music, while not BAD, never takes a fucking break from being a massive orchestral cacophony using every instrument possible at the loudest volume possible.

Barrens and trade chat. That initial rush you got when you first started pvping. Or those moments where like...

>Be lvl 35 or fury warrior
>See a paladin in STV taking on some mobs
>Just watch and while I'm watching him I get attacked by some mobs too
>Finish killing them and notice he's watching me also
>We wave to each other and start eating and shit
>We bow
>And fucking start going at it
>He mops me up
>Get back to my corpse and he once again bows to me
>And we keep going at it

This tobequitehonestfamalamadingdong. Apart from conveniencefags turning the fun and adventurous skinner box into a soul crushing skinner box with a garbage community, I think the biggest mistake was the serial escalation. Of everything. Plot villains, gear, player character power levels, even prominent NPCs. After your millionth time saving the world you get pretty fatigued about the entire thing.

Good luck OP. Its gone and its not coming back.

What made the game fun was its community. Everything up to and including watching paint dry is fun with friends, but there's something to be said for a fuckhuge persistent world full of people to meet and fight.

The community is shit now and that alone is enough to destroy any lasting fun.

The best part is halfway my boy got on and met me where I was and just watched us and took some screenshots. I hate ganking. I'll always try to let someone finish their mobs and get regrouped before trying to murk them. The best was when you were questing with abuddy and you saw someone else questing with their buddy and you guys started going at it.

Fucking, Tanaris used to be the hot spot. So did STV. Even during BC-Cata I had some fun doing that spontaneous pvp, although most people now a days don't want to do that shit they just wanna keep playing in their sand box.

I liked fucking with other players mostly. Raids and such were cool too but I just liked the interactions with people. Used to always jump onto the roof in Goldshire as a Troll and spam emotes while noobs kept failing to make the jump. Things like that. Seeing enemy players in the world, stalking them around as they quested then killing their targets and such. Always liked PvP more than PvE, so I did lots of arenas and bgs up until I quit at the end of Wrath

Was cool to just walk around and encounter people, then either talk for a bit or kill them

Anyone else used to just make those 14 day free trials to play on? Used to have lots of fun meeting new people in BGs and doing the few available early dungeons.

When I first got windfury in STV on a really well geared troll enh shaman. Was level 33 and some 38 human rogue ganked me while I was half health attacking some mob.
>mfw he took me down to 100 and I got a windfury proc along with a crit
Literally one shot his ass, then the mob killed me. For those 10 horrible levels grinding in STV I probably one shot up to 20 ally's, always aggro on me though. I was never the aggressor because I was afraid they'd just call some friends or go on their main.

Honestly, leveling for the first time as a Rogue in Wrath was some of the most fun I've ever had in WoW. I got the same feeling playing a Demon Hunter pre/post-Legion. Of course, now it doesn't feel the same anymore, since thr Fel Rush playstyle got massively gimped.
>tfw when you can never experience your favorite part of something for the first time as many times as you want and relive the awe you had

>>384315850
Then you try something new. I always played shaman through my whole career. Now I'm leveling a fury on Elysium and having a blast. It's never too late to try something new anon.
>>
>>384315684
Really similar to me except I was a orc. Never a better feeling in the world than 2v1ing in STV as a Shaman with glorious Windfury procs. One time it as me against a priest and a paly, 100-0'd the Priest the second they started attacking me and the paly just stared at his corpse and then walked away. Never laughed harder once in my life
>>
>>384315929
But, anon. I've played everything, and only a few can really grip me. Demon Huntards are too comfy, otherwise I'd just be playing the same rogue I've had since BC. I have a 110 Monk, and Priest, and Leveling a DK. I might play Shaman, or something when I start the game up again. It just isn't the same though...
>>
>>384315684
This times a million

Low level ganking with your first char in STV in vanilla days was the best. Especially when horde was outnumbered 3 to 1 on all the servers. Your average horde player got so good at PvP that the forums were absolutely packed with Alliance babies crying about imbalance.

>tfw when flying from island to island in Nagrand after finally getting your first flying mount

Flying mounts might be the perfect example of how WoW went to shit but they allowed for some really comfy moments.
My favourite thing about the early days of WoW was how spontaneous the whole experience could be, you would actually interact with people you ran into when playing. By the time I stopped playing, most people just camped in the Capital city of their choice waiting to be teleported to content to steamroll.
>>
>>384309039

I liked WoW pretty much solely for the WPvP. Never cared for arenas and BGs aren't the same. Ganking and getting ganked, being able to use gadgets and random items you've collected throughout the world to your advantage was always too much fun. Fighting on the classic continents were great until Cata. Goldshire was always packed, so it made for a fun spot to fuck around in as a Horde.

Don't play anymore, my salt reigns supreme for blizz cutting the warlock Metamorphosis.

>>384309039
The thing that made WoW take off at first was the novelty of its instances. That was basically it. Firing that canon first time in deadmines was really something new and interesting in mmos.

It then rapidly became apparent it was actually a shit game that was going to ruin the industry, which it did.

I think more than anything I just miss the 'old playerbase'. Theres an episode of Recess where TJ gets injured and has to stay inside until he heals. He then meets these nerds who at first disgust him but after giving them a chance and playing DnD, he realizes how much fun they're having. Thats what old MMOs felt like to me.. Even in the famous Leeroy video when they're wiping on the whelps they don't even swear. Just feels like there was so much class back then but now the internet has changed in to a really shit place.
More than anything I miss politics not being injected in to everything, or social justice, the days before political correctness were just heavenly, unadulterated fun.

Those things were great feats of strength in my book, never experienced them myself. Now killing a god, world destroyer or a corrupted faction leader "just another day" in an autopilot gear roulette and having a legendary item means that you just got lucky while completing a quest.

Leveling through old content now is just a chore to get to the newest content as fast as possible, so you don't "miss" anything. In fact, they should drop the level cap increase in next expansion and focus on things to do, rather than wasting recources to make another "race to lvl 120 so you can start playing" -episode. There's no turning back so why not at least try something new?

Nostalgia servers are dogshit.

You will never get it back. It will never again be your first time playing WoW. You will never again be exploring zones for the first time, looking around in awe at this big, huge, unknown world and its haunting music. You will never again be reading all the quest text, getting balls-deep in the lore and immersing yourself in the world. You will never again step into Molten Core for the very first time, take a deep breath, and tell yourself "This is it. This is the big time."

You log in, you turbo through all the shit you've done ten thousand times before, you race to 60, you farm the same fucking epics you've already farmed a thousand times before, then you log off and wonder where all the content is and why it's not as fun as you remember.

I really fucking want to get back on WoW but I have no fucking clue what to play. My favorite class is Death Knight because Undead was my favorite WC3 race but they only started to exist once WoW was in the middle of going to shit.
I can't decide between a Male Night Elf Arms warrior or a Male Tauren Enhancement shaman. I intend on mostly soloing and PVPing over raiding.

I used to run Deadmines religiously. Probably 7 or 8 times a day. I ran "Tours" of it, and would treat it like it was a Disney attraction. Near the end, I even dressed up in a tux and set my pet on aggro so we could just walk through the mines like I was a guide. I constantly leveled alts to the proper level and try to run groups through it, often treating it like it was a raid or BC dungeon (marks, CC order, etc.)

It feels fresh because it was so goddamn long ago in a vastly different state. People forget how much the game changed with every patch, so it's easy to go to a time where the game played completely differently and new to you.

I just went to the Elysium website, but I cant find any info on the different servers. Beside the PTR, whats the difference between servers and which should I pick? Theres Elysium, Darrowshire, and Anathema. They are all on different patches so I dont get it.

I've got a friend who played WoW and always said that the real game never "started" until you hit max level. I never understood that, I had a blast leveling. I love exploring in games and I remember running around the different areas, seeing the sights, finding spots I liked and stuff like that. Then found raiding extremely boring and repetitive.
>>
>>384329465
>Anathema is what Nost was supposed to be

What does that mean?

And I dont like PVP servers, never played on one despite doing only pvp at max level and eventually getting Grand Marshal lul. But it looks like elysium has by FAR the most players so if I wanted to have any kind of fun I guess thats my only choice?

Yup. He quit WoW years ago and just sort of jumps between MMOs now. I think he's playing Skyforge at the moment, I'm not sure. He still says the same damn thing though; game never "starts" till you hit max level. I feel like he probably doesn't actually enjoy games, just needs something to spend his extra time on.

I got Elder scroll online and all of its DLC, including the brand new morrowind, for $35. And so far the leveling is a blast. Every single quest is fully voiced and animated, and it makes it so fun, some of the quests are fucking awesome. I actually plan to do nothing but leveling, doing every quest in every zone, and then quitting. No interest in end game or PVP. Just give me the dope quests and voice acting.

Its like a 300+ hour long Elder Scrolls game that you can sometimes do dungeons with other players. But overall you can just solo and treat it like a regular Elder Scroll game with more abilities and shit. What a fucking steal for $35.
>>
>>384329694
When Nostalrius closed, Elysium picked up the pieces and Anathema had a different name as a server at that point, they were using their code and transfer of Nostalrius characters was enabled from Nost to Anathema via generating a token on Nost website page and entering it on Elysium page. Then things happened and they closed the token generator on their end first, then Nostalrius demanded they stop using their core/code because of all that shit the surrendermonkeys signed for the blizzard and the server was renamed to Anathema. That was also a complete and utter public suicide for Nost devgroup, demanding back a gift they passed onto a "worthy successor" as was promised.

Elysium is probably your best bet in my opinion, but get ready for ganking.
>>
It was pre TBC and my friends all played WoW. During my Senior year summer we would get together and Lan. We went out and bought snacks and pizza and leveled up in the game together. Doing every dungeon along the way, and coordinating with each other on how to beat it.

The most memorable night was the night a girl from school called, met up with her lost my virginity, then told her I had to help my brother in the morning. I left her almost as soon as we finished and went to lan with my bros the entire night. We ran Scarlet Monastery and I was a hero for getting laid and heading immediately over to our friends house.

God I miss those days, now i get bitched at if I play more than an hour in a sitting. And the little joy i get is posting on 4chan while she is sleeping.

Nost was the one Bliz got all mad at right? And made them close it? How is this new server alive without Blizzard getting mad? How do we know the same thing wont happen again?

And do these servers keep any nice quality of life things? Like dungeon group finder? I understand the merit of spamming in the LFG channel to assemble dungeon groups, but sometimes it took SO long, and with the super low pop on the servers, it would seem almost impossible to do dungeons without a finder thing I can queue to.

>>384330381
The new server is alive because russians run it, they don't really care what blizzard says or does. No, they don't. They're almost completely vanilla as it was. There's a lot of shady business involving administration and the place is infested with chinese farmers and mail spam of gold selling though, just like in the old days of WoW. Elysium pop is not low, I never had issues with dungeons.

I preordered WOW and went to the midnight release with my best friend. His dad drove us. I actually really treasure the memories of this night.

Playing PS2 online before, ordering pizza. I hear this game is a mom-org I've never played that.

I quit WoW the day BC came out because I realized that in no time, simple blue and greens would be better than my fucking Judgement (5/8) set that I spent a year and a half to get. I downloaded it last month and I'm loving it all over again. It's been over 10 years since I've played, so it's like a whole new world again. I doubt I'll ever get back to that level of playing, what with it inevitably being served a C&D and all, not to mention my real life, but it's fucking enjoyable nonetheless.
>>
Completely new to wow whats the best private server to try out? Stability and features while being close to retail are important to me.
>>
>>384332303
i also quit when BC came out, because it made my Grand Marshal gear seem pointless and also would be replaced in no time like you said. I came back for mists of panderia and it was ok. Wanted to try the two new classes, Deathknight and Monk, got them both to max level. Then quit. End game was boring. Leveling is the fun part for me. Also I only had one month free of game time. Overall a mediocre game and DEFINITELY not worth a monthly fee.

>>
>>384332303
That's nice. Meanwhile the guild full of nostalgiafags I know all got bored and quit inside of two months.

You might get something out of it if you legitimately did stop playing WoW with Vanilla or BC; you've never known any version of the game that had any of the later anti-time-wasting-bullshit features and tweaks implemented, and you haven't been exposed to its world and style for a decade.

But people that have been playing it on and off for the last 12 years? Most of 'em played 'memberservers for like a month and then the gloss wore off. It's not the same game when you're meta-ing the shit out of it, so the nostalgia factor really isn't there, and the gameplay itself is rickety by modern standards.

>>384333372
Its full of raidloggers. I'm going to be real with you here, pretty much every private server on the market is shit, more shit than usual. Elysium is garbage with chinks and corrupt staff, but its got the pop so if you want to play it be my guest. Warmane tbc/wrath fakes their has a p2w cash shop, both have alt realms that are x1. Ascension wow, a custom funserver, just came out. SOme to look forward too are Felmyst tbc (LOTS of hype, scripts are damn near perfect, but open beta ends tomorrow, server comes out the 21st). And Northcraft x1/instant 68 wrath server, runs on sunwell core so will probably be shit.
>>
>>384330381
Nost didn't get shut down because Blizzard got mad, it got shut down because the people running the server just wanted to get an in with blizzard. Every single server gets cease and desist letters and they all just ignore them because it's a formality that Blizzard doesn't follow up on, but with Nost they just called it quits right there.
>>
>>384333372
Just wait for 3 days and play TBC on Felmyst, it'll be a fresh start with a lot of people playing. Server's coded by the person that made the first legitimately well-scripted vanilla server, and almost everything is just about right and all pre-nerf.

Except even in T5 content the set bonuses of certain vanilla sets remained incredibly good.
Take for instance the 2 set bonus (or maybe it was 4 set, I forget) of the t2 shaman set. It reduced the amount your chain heal bounce diminishes after each bounce: meaning the spell became significantly more efficient than it already was at raid healing (which is the entire reason to bring a resto shaman). It scaled really well with bonus healing too, so the lower stats you'd have due to wearing outdated gear was counterbalanced by the fact that your primary tool now scaled way better.

Besides, the problem was more that paladin gear had godawful itemization back in vanilla. Most classes wore their level 60 raid gear well into their 60s, with Naxx gear pretty much being only a little bit worse than Kara gear. The items weren't sought after purely for their stats anyway, you had the items when they were a status symbol. Be glad about that.

My favorite memory of original WoW was leveling up my first character in Dun Morogh, finishing that zone and getting a quest to go to Loch Modan. I ran all the way there, fully expecting at some point to hit a loading screen or gateway of some kind, but eventually I came out of the tunnel and I was just there. It was an amazing feeling of awe at how I had seamlessly traveled to a new zone with no delays or loads, and it also made me feel incredibly small when I looked at the map and realized that the entire continent was one big open world. I couldn't even begin to imagine how long it would take to reach the northern or southern end of the continent, and my mind raced as I looked at the yet-to-be filled in maps of the zones, wondering what I would find in each one.

When i was playing in 2007 i had a really weak pc, so my draw distance was shit, i came out from the durotar crater towards orgrimmar and as i went north the gates of orgrimmar slowly appeared, the awe continued as i entered the city

I remember the first time I got shoulder pads. Literally level 22 gray/white rags that looked like shit but to the noob that I was it meant a lot. It still sticks out to me over 10 years later.

Fishing.
Fishing in WoW is fun. Especially when you do it together with someone or casually talking with friends.

I remember my first ones were from some old crate I found underwater off the coast in Darkshore somewhere. Felt real nice

I play on vanilla servers to get things that was removed from retail.
That this is PVP (world PVP in particular), barrens chat, leveling, interesting questlines and useful professions.
>>
>>384339887
The first six months of MoP were god tier. A few easily fixed mistakes aside, I wish this was the base Blizzard would build the game on. It's really unfortunate they didn't have the content throughput to keep people engaged so they redesigned the entire game to drag out sub times.

So unfair ganks, shitposting, a means to an end, collecting slightly different colored bear asses and something that is actually arguably as good as vanilla?

I remember jacking off in moonguard to night elf females who were dancing no shame here.

Post pre-cata screenshots everyone

I miss being a noob. I miss when endgame didn't matter. I miss when the level cap took ages to get to instead of just getting it in an hour or so. I miss having to actually go places. I miss the world part of the world of warcraft

What does x1 mean in regards to private servers? I have also seen x5 and x7. I would assume it means XP gain? like x5 is five times the xp?

so x1 just means regular amount? if so, seems weird to have to even mention that.

>What was your favorite activity
Leveling a tank

Dungeons at max level are pains in the ass and I hate doing them, especially Strat and DM:W. Scholo is fucking annoying also.

But to tank dungeons while leveling, though... that's the shit.

I can agree with this... I miss not knowing every zone there is like the back of my hand. I remember the first time went to loch modan past the big ass dwarf statues and going through the furbolg cave to get into winterspring.

>Scamming people.
Very seldom would it actually work but I could get people to go all the way to booty bay to waste their time. Sometimes I'd even convince two of them the other had the item or whatever they wanted.
>Killing orgrimar auctioneers.
Even just the boat rides and stuff there was fun.

Still get shit for it this day.

You'll never know a joy of killing two overleveled fuccbois that tried to gank you in open field.
You'll never know a joy of killing skull leveled ganker with group of low level scrubs.
You'll never know a joy of camping enemy city with groups of randoms without any communication.
You'll never know a joy of guerrilla warfare of getting through such camp.
Must've feel really below average man.

>collecting slightly different colored bear asses
By "interesting" I mean story side and adventure feel, not loot and exp.

>>384309039
leveling in the undead zones was some of the most relaxing gaming I've ever experienced. Bonus points for leveling in the Fall as well. The UD zones just feel so much more interesting than the brown poopoo zones the rest of the horde had at the time.

Silverpine > Barrens in pretty much every single way possible. Plus later zones connecting to UD were all pretty decent. Meanwhile Ashenvale felt like the most obnoxious zone ever to navigate.

You don't need to tell me -- you have an active sub.

I had it somewhat similar.

I remember when I was leveling in WotLK and finally got to Icecrown - with minimal draw distance.

It added a very chilling feeling, seeing nothing but that bleak void with occasional pointy rock or saronite gates popping up, knowing whatever ground is down below it's just crawling with undead and the airship appearing out of the fog made me feel so much safer.

why do people reply with screenshots of the current state of the game to someone's request of pre-cata screenshots?

In vanilla, sitting in black rock killing off raiders as they trickle into their raids and having groups of 30 people exiting the instance and chasing me off.

In BC, getting to 2000 in arena and hitting a gear wall so big that a druids hots out healed my warlock dots. I quit afterwards having like 300 days played on more than one character.

Or having the ability to use a variety of unique items to get an edge in pvp such as tidal charm, reflectors, nets of multiple kinds and the trinket net itself, skull, potions whose cooldown did not start out of combat, engineering being more than "press button to deal damage", a ton of utility and other things I can't be bothered to list for your ignorant ass because quite frankly you don't deserve that much attention.

Better feeling than paying full price for a new game only to get bored of it or never install it

Game market crash can't come soon enough, and I hope indie games and patreon falls with it

So i've only tried Wow as of recent for the first time and am interested to see what vanilla/TBC was like. What would be my best option? I've looked at a few lists already
>>
>Play from late vanilla to early wotlk with an early 2000's toaster that came with a pentium 3 and had to get a ram upgrade to even meet min spec for wow
>Minimum settings always, especially view distance
>Try to raid, tanking in naxx
>Get like 5 fps with constant hitching
>Finally get a new pc with money from my first job, a $400 newegg prebuilt
>Max out view distance and leave dalaran via the landing pad on the side
>Get temporarily disoriented from the sight of the huge trees of crystalsong clearly in view below me

>Now take ultra settings and max framerate for granted, only noticing negative stuff like if it dips lower than normal instead of appreciating when everything is running perfectly smoothly

I really only keep up a sub because I just farm mounts and other weekly shit. Got burnt out from Mythic raiding in WoD and don't really care to do it again in legion. M+ is pretty okay desu so easy to setup groups and the difficulty level is to my liking. Really hope it sticks around in nextpac

Same here. I had a 7600GT with 512MB of RAM and some shitty processor to go with. I got decent frames with it, but sometimes when shit went down in raids it didn't quite keep up. Only during very late TBC I got a new computer which handled everything so much better. It was pretty magical compared to the old PC.

>>384343129
Hawaii 5-0 wasn't too bad either.

Alterac Valley matches
in pug games the massive standoff at the bridge slowly pushing alliance's shit in until we cap the graveyard and kill the Boss dwarf.

Someone my server use to run pre-made AVs. We would hold the choke point and defended our towers. While we had a team slowly capping their shit one-by-one and make them suffer.
I remember escorting the generals back to base and even summoning the Icerock Golem.
Wintergrasp was pretty based too.
