WoW trilogy (Vanilla/TBC/Wrath) nostalgia thread.

What is your favorite zone from:
>Eastern Kingdoms
Stanglethorn Vale
>Kalimdor
Tanaris
>Outland
Netherstorm
>Northrend
Grizzly Hills

Favorite quest chains?
I always remember the Honor Hold quests because it was the very first time I had been in Outland, I had saved myself from spoiling it whatsoever and it was all absolutely magical.The fort on the edge of reality breaking apart was just fucking magical

Favorite dungeons and raids?
Wailing Caverns is fucking amazing.
>The room in front of the dungeon entrance
Easily the prettiest part of the dungeon, damn shame what LFD did to it
It's an easy choice, but Karazhan is probably my favorite raid. It's very unique.

Prized possesions?
Ill always love my Sunreaver Dragonhawk and Venomhide Ravasaur
>>
Old Azshara was so good.
>>
>>336364752
I enjoyed the aesthetic of Syphilis.
>>
>>336364752
>Eastern Kingdoms
I loved to hang out in goldshire to get drunk, tell stories, and duel

>Kalimdor
I think I've gotta pick ashenvale, not only to gank on my twink by the silverwing area but to also raid splinter tree post with friends

>Outland

I really liked the style of zangramash
(i hope i spelled that right it's been years)

>northrend

stormpeaks was epic with the frozen battle of the ice giants as well as ulduaar and all of that jazz

>favorite quest chains

from vanilla i think i'd have to go with the hidden LoZ quest where you get links master sword and boomerang

>Fav dungeons and raids

dungeon i'd probabaly have to pick either deadmines or SM

i made way too many friends on those and loved to run people through

>favorite raid

i have to agree with OP karazhan was very cool
loved the chess and the play/opera

>Prized possesions

I collected a lot of useless junk...

but i think of all my useless junk I enjoyed my stormwind guard set the most, it was funny as hell it made people laugh, and it was unique enough because they removed the quests that gave a couple of the important pieces, so anyone trying to replicate it couldn't do it as well and ending up using imperial gear.


ah those were the days..
>>
>>336364752
>EK
Westfall was always my favorite zone out of the entire game. I loved the whimsical fantasy Depression Era Dustbowl aesthetic it had going.
>KA
No real preference. I was Alliance scum so I stayed in EK until I wanted a change of pace from Hinterlands around 45.
>OL
The blasted desolation of Hellfire Peninsula was pretty cool, between the music and the Path of Glory paved with the bones of billions of Draenei
>NR
Wrath was when I started losing interest in the game. Something changed and I can't put my finger on what, but the charm was gone and I never made it past Borean Tundra.
>>
>>336364752
Did anyone else like the rather empty themed areas like Desolace, Ferralas and badlands?

I played on a super low pop server, Ysondre and these places were even more barren then usual and friendships were made super quickly for company and conversation.

I remember the quite comfy/lonely feelings of being 14 over the summer, leveling while on Vent with my guild friends just leveling away in these lonely parts, almost like the beginning of There Will be Blood, not seeing another player, friend or ally scum for hours.
>>
>EK
Eastern Plaguelands
>Kalimdor
Ashenvale was the shit. I also liked Un'Goro when it wasn't fucking you around with gaps between required levels for quests.
>Outland
Shadowmoon. I still remember the quest for the fugly-ass hunter helm where you release Teron Gorefiend... And now I remember WoD and feel sick.

>Northrend
Icecrown/Dragonblight
>>
>Eastern Kingdoms
Eastern Plaguelands

>Kalimdor
Probably The Barrens

>outland
Shadowmoon Valley

>Northrend
Icecrown, probably my favorite zone in the entire game, even to this day. Great story and quests there.

>favorite quest chain
the intro to northrend at howling fjord where you meet the LK was pretty interesting, also the chain involving gul'dan in shadowmoon valley

also everything involving the netherwing in shadowmoon

>favorite raid
probably karazhan just because I had good friends back then, ICC and ulduar are close

>prized posessions
my competitors tabard, heroic deathbringers will that took me forever to get, my title "the magic seeker"
>>
>>336368705
I loved the centaur questline where you had to pick a side.
I had a levelling partner and we picked opposite factions to see what happened.

Fuck. This is one of those little things that has died now.

I enjoy questing in vanilla over the cata style. It's fun to make your own questing routes, do the quests in every order you like and grouping up for elites.
>>
>>336369292
I actually think the revamp of vanilla was one of the good things to come out of cata. They really improved some zones immensely, like thousand needles and western plaguelands, I just wish they didn't make it so much easier.
>>
>Eastern Kingdoms
Elwyn Forest or Eversong Woods if it counts
>Kalimdor
Teldrassil or Azuremyst if that counts
>Outland
Zangarmarsh
>Northrend
Grizzly Hills
>>
Anyone for Hinterlands?

With that long but very fun (especially on a pvp server and running across ally) Jintha Alor?

>tfw you will never be doing the group quests down the narrow alleys of JA while chatting up with your group over vent
>tfw you will never run across some allies doing the same thing
>tfw you will never swap /emotions to each other taunting each other
>you will never pvp them in a very narrow and small area while avoiding pulling adds
>>
>>336369441
I didn't really like the new Thousand Needles.
It had like 5 quests for such a big zone and the water made it a fucking pain to just skip past.
>>
>>336369441

Too linear
Too easy
Too jam-packed with dumb meme quests
Ruined so much of the world with no intent to ever fix it (dumping a volcano in ashenvale, draining loch modan, etc)

>Northrend
Howling Fjord

>Favorite quest chains?
The whole Onyxia attunement questline was great.

>Favorite dungeons and raids?
I really liked Zul'Farrak, I feel like it's the point when the game really opens up and you start getting really nice gear, a mount and access to the really nice spells.

>Prized possesions?
Got both ZG mounts but I'm sure they stopped discontinuing them because everyone has to have everything now. I also farmed and got a Hyacinth Macaw before they nerfed the droprate.

>EK
Ghostlands. Belf was my favorite class to level just because of their starter area in general.
>Kalmidor
Barrens/Xroads. Spent so much time there leveling up alts, and /1 or /3 chat was priceless fun.
>Outland
Thrallmar
>Northrend
Eh
>Quest Chain
The Traitor's Destruction which you could pick my favorite weapon in the game, Sin'dorei Warblade. Looked cool as hell, and carried me till ~lvl 35.
>Fav Dungeon
Agreed w/ WC if you didn't get helplessly lost in the huge ass cave, if not then Shadowfang Keep. Had a spoopy vibe, as well as challenging (Thanks BOA gear for fucking up wow), but fun boss fights.
>Raid
Ice Crown Citadel. Fighting Arthas was the high point of WoW imo.
>Prized Possesion
Lvl 19 Rogue and Hunter BC Twink that would destroy anybody and everybody in BG. My best was 47/2 in WSG
I honestly want Legion to be good, and I've already preordered it, I'm just afraid it's gonna kill WoW.
>>
Am I the only one that hated how WoW, and especially Vanilla, is so jam packed with fucking TROLLS

Their attack and death animations are so grating, and their wonky designs just look horrid with their gross bendy-slouchy posture

Zul'Farrak, Zul'Gurub, Sunken Temple Tanaris, Hinterlands, Arathi, Stranglethorn, and the list goes on.

Their death/combat animations I feel are only matched by God Damn Gnomes... But Gnomes only have Gnomeregan so it's at least skippable.
>>
>>336364752
Nostfags are literally Goobergate 2.0

Stop living in the past and get with the future. Legion is around the corner, maybe you manbabies can get skilled enough to beat mythic content instead of relying on 3-move Rag as your defining raiding experience.

Wrath lovers need not apply. At least heroic Lich King was still harder than anything vanilla + BC combined.
>>
>>336367709
i want to edit my prized possession and also mention my furbolg form rod that you get from not finishing that quest in ashenvale
>>
>>336364752
>EK
Eastern plaguelands. I remember needing to farm something (scourge tokens maybe? i forget) for a rep, and on KJ at least it was an eternal gankfest. Had so much fun being a faggot.
>Kalimdor
Winterspring. I was never too into the zone but again have very fond memories of pvp there. I recall someone got a krol blade to drop from a yeti, and not knowing yet how random world drops worked, I farmed yetis for an entire week hoping for a payday. I didn't have skinning either so really it was a waste, but at least I murdered a lot of kings honor scum.
>Outland
Nagrand by far, just always felt comfy and feel like I spent the majority of outland questing time there.
>Northrend
Icecrown. Looking back grizzly hills is way cooler but icecrown was where most of my big fights were.
>Favorite chain
I'm probably a shitter but was so busy pvp'ing in vanilla that I never caught up on gear and had an odd schedule so I sucked for raids. The tier 0.5 chain was probably the first time I had a "set" and it made me feel so fucking cool, plus I thought it looked awesome.
>Dungeon/raid
Dire Maul.. north, i think. I like ogres.
Kara for raids, like a lot of people. Ulduar of course as well but I spent so much time in Kara and made so many friends, even when we didn't look up shit and wiped a bunch.
>Prized possession
It sounds stupid now but the original engineering flying mount was my favorite by far. it was the first mount I really wanted and the only one I went far out of my way to farm the mats for and build, one of the first on the server (not that that really matters since it's not a special mount) but still felt neat.
>>
>>336364752
In going to skip a bunch of these questions and go straight to prized possession. It has to be that staff quest item that transforms you into a Furbolg for 1 minute (Cata probally took it from me, I haven't played since wrath to check) but I used to love just walking round Stormwind as a bear.

The fish trinket from the fishing tournament is also a close second. I'd just sit chilling in the Dalaran fountain.

I made a level 1 twink rogue that was absolutely amazing back in wrath. I once beat a level 20 with it (extremely difficult even though the guy was a complete idiot) but could regularly beat upwards to level 8s with full hierloom gear and about level 12-14 with quest only gear.

I spent like 2 weeks getting the stranglethorne vale arena quest (you had to get the chest 12 times and it only spawned every 3 hours, lots of competition) by sneakily taking it while others were fighting.

I put so much fucking effort into it and it was some of the most fun I've ever had in the game. Then they fucking ruined everything by removing the starting abilities you got from 3 to 1 and nerfing the enchants you were able to get. For example I could have a chest with +100 hp if it was item level 60 with no level requirement (only one such item existed, took me a month) and there were also some really rare enchants I had to hunt down that got nerfed.

Fuck you blizzard for taking my level 1 twink away from me.

I'm always in love with how the entire southern portion of Kalimdor funneled into the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj. From spotted areas around tanaris to covered up pathways leading out of ungoro crater, you'd find dark-colored obelisks as if they were markers of an ancient empire. Not to mention all the giant, twitching hives filled with insects in each zone.

It wasn't until you first stepped foot into Sithilus that you realized how far from home you were. The chances of getting ganked by opprotunistic pvpers or elite burrowers were both high. There was severe hostility in the air, like this great force was massing against you. Overall it felt entirely alien, even on a planet like Azeroth.

Don't even get me started on AQ itself. It was like descending into madness. whether from the old god atmosphere or from the sheer difficulty of dragging 40 pugs through trash and twin emperors

Hillsbrad is the best quest zone, and i actually really like what they did to it in Cata, but it's a shame it just ends once you discover a dude is running a fucking concentration camp.

But i do miss defending Tarren Mill back in the day.

Prized item?. I want to say Whiskers the Rat from the old childrens week quest, or the Defias mask. Might not seem impressive but to me i cherished that mask on my Undead rogue and the journey to get it was a tale in itself
>>
>>336374496

Oh I also forgot to mention that although the level 20 was my record for highest level in a duel, I actually killed a level 80 once. I played allience and there were two horde players dueling somewhere a bit away from goldshire and just as one of them lost I stabbed the fucker and actually killed him.

Not really a possession, but my first character was an Orc Hunter who tamed Takk the Leaper, back when he had an insane run speed. Actually made some alliance in stone talon crazy butt-mad because I would use eyes of the beast to run him beyond the range that my character was rendered, which at the time meant they couldn't attack the pet I was controlling. He just munched on people until the timer wore off. And then they normalized pets and everything that made him unique was gone. Sad day that was.

Quests were ass but that aesthetic was some next shit. First character I rolled was a gnome and I loved their culture and history.
>Motherfucking Silithus
Sad that wasn't ever finished but I really enjoyed this zone, couldn't tell you why exactly. It was strangely comfy.

Music.

Music, atmosphere, quests. Whole package here. Fjord is a close second. I fucking love Icelandic music.

They were all great. Everything in Icecrown was awesome. They did dailies right here, in my opinion.

Probably Duskwood. When I first started the game I loved exploring and I got lost, ended up in Duskwood alone, dodging the terrifying level ?? wolves and spiders. The ambience along with the fact that death was literally waiting for me around every tree was super thrilling, especially since it was my first MMO at the time.

>Kalimdor
Feralas. I loved to go chill down there on my hunter because I'm an RP nerd faggot . Comfy as fuck.

>Outland
Terokkar Forest because bird people and the big shithole by Achindoun was fun.

>Northrend
Howling Fjord. The music. The atmosphere. I love that place. I really should go chill there again.

>Favorite quest chains
The warlock class quests. Hands down. I'm so sad they removed them, I wanted to relevel just to do those again.

>Favorite Dungeons and raids
Scarlet Monastery for some reason was endlessly entertaining to me. I could do that shit forever. Too bad they ruined it.

Favorite raid was probably Karazhan or Zul'aman. Zul'aman was comfy as fuck and I liked how it pushed your party to go harder for the extra rewards (never got the bear myself sadly). Karazhan was just a masterpiece with so much character and love put into it.

I hear that. Honestly, I'm not sure why they felt the need to re-write every duking zone. I mean it's understandable to say "some things had to be fixed so flying worked in the old world", but you'd think some terrain muckery and a wink that "the cataclysm did it" would be good. But nooooo, have to rewrite the whole experience 1-60 and then pretend you fell backward in time for 61-80

We'll never know what could've became of it since it was literally an unfinished zone. I don't know what it was about Silithus but Blizzard just did not want to complete it for whatever reason. At some point throughout TBC or Wrath they put portals to Blasted Lands in all the inns in Silithus as if to say "Don't quest here, go somewhere where there's actually quests and we give a fuck."

It didn't even get the makeover love either like Azshara did, though you might argue that was a good thing if you hate how Cata revamped most vanilla zones.

>>
>Vanilla
Feralas - whole map felt organic, the road looked like it was carved out of the terrain not placed there by some engineer before making the zone around it. Felt more immersive just by walking. I also love hillsbread foothills and all its neighboring zones connected by the alterac mountains. I love how theyre naturally connected and not all polar opposites like most of the neighboring regions to the south are.
>TBC
Blades edge mountains - everyone loves Nagrand but that felt too basic. Blue sky, green grass, hill, trees, the works. No... BEM was savage. Just gazing up at it from zangamarsh at lvl 62 gave you that sense of "wtf is up there?" and just to get in the damn place u got to fight your way in through the caves. Once inside you're greeted by the crucifixions of the dragons and a true sense of alienation of being somewhere where you honestly don't belong.
>WotlK
Storm Peaks - i used to love Grizzly hills for the same reason I love Feralas and I like how it and the basin are connected by that small mountain. But over the years leveling alts to 90 (before WoD) i started liking storm peaks for how peaceful it is. It feels as much of a time capsule as un'goro is. Everywhere you look you see ancient beings, teraforming-looking machines, and structures that making anything elvish tiny in comparison.

It's very difficult to pick just one zone.

>Eastern Kingdoms
Hillsbrad + Alterac, or Duskwood.
>Kalimdor
1k Needles or Feralas.

Generally the entire Southern Kalimdor was great.
>Outland
Nagrand or Terokkar
>Northrend
Dragonblight

>Favorite quest chains?
Druid flight form quest chain. Not sure why but it's the one I remember most fondly.
>Dungeons
Don't really have a favourite one.
>Raids
Black Temple. Can't really explain why, though. The atmosphere was just so cool.
>Prized possesions?
Entire druid tier 6. Took me ages to get it all, I remember getting the chest from Illidan like it was yesterday.

favourite dungeon:

blackrock depths full pug run, I always asked locks to join so we could summon in additional members when players inevitably left. a humongous shithole of fun

I resubbed when I heard they were removing the legendary ring questline. I never bothered to finish it so I thought I'd go ahead and do that.

What a fucking monumental waste of time. Holy shit, the legendary questline is so fucking lazy compared to the MoP one, and it's time gated to hell and back.

The MoP legendary quest was full of little side content you did inbetween the gathering raid items quests. Like the one where do a challenge for one of the august celestials, or the one where you take over the thunder forge. Scripted events that were fun and obviously had some effort put into them.

There's none of that in the WoD legendary questline. There's a crappy pseudo-boss encounter, a crappy stealth section that doesn't work anything like stealth in WoW normally does, and a couple shitty encounters with NPCs that are really easy.
It is otherwise 90% farming raids. You don't even get a payoff when you finish it, Khadgar just gives you your ring and tells you to fuck off basically.

I'm uninstalling. I don't even want the option to come back on my computer, I'm so completely disgusted by this game and in myself for wasting all this time on it.
>>
>>336364752

>Eastern Kingdoms

Eastern Plaguelands. I spent so much time there because I was fascinated by the scourge storyline and there was just so much to do and so many branching storyline quests (like the ones for Tirion and the one where you get the little ghost her doll).

>Kalimdor

Sillithus. I know it was "unfinished" but I loved exploring it and sillithids were just a cool concept. Especially when they let me tame them on my hunter.

>Outland

Zangarmarsh. No particular reason, I just liked it.

>Northrend

Sholazar basin. Easily the comfiest zone in the fucking game and if you were a hunter who was into rare/unique pets it was the place to be. Also had an easy path to follow for ore farming.

>Cata

Vashjir. I still find something new in this place every time I go there. I know people hated it but the attention to detail there was astounding

>MoP

Valley of the four winds.

>Favorite quest chain

Everything involving Tirion Fordring in vanilla EPL

>Dungeon

Scholomance. Loved how the quest outside enhanced it.

>Raid

Temple of Ahn Qiraj or Tempest Keep. I love them both for different reasons.

>Prized Posession

I was the first person on my server to get 75 pets and get the little fawn. I'll never forget all the attention I got at first with it. It's worthless now but it holds a special place in my heart.

Judging by it's placement, layout, and textures, I think it was originally meant to be an end-game area much like Eastern Plaguelands to farm items or rep for raids; maybe not necessarily 57-60, but perhaps just straight up 60. The entrance was down in Dark Whisper Gorge which was crawling with lvl 57-60 elites.

The path throughout Hyjal seems to suggest there were going to be several quest hubs culminating in the areas up top where there was a gigantic crater from Archimonde's asplosion along with the new World Tree. There was also a raid instance entrance similar to Onyxia's Lair in there so it was probably meant to be Kalimdor's equivalent to Eastern Plaguelands/Naxxramas.

>>336383714
For a zone that was supposed to just sit there as a landmark, it was really, really detailed, pretty much finished. Even uninstanced AQ in South Silithus looks raw compared to it, yet AQ was actually implemented in game in 1.9

>>336384287
Hyjal had a raid entrance close to start of the zone yes it was a copy of onyxia cave, and if you blinked through the dragon's teeth you could get inside and the layout there was a total copy as well, and it also had a locked raid portal separating it from the Darkwhisper Gorge, so you had to climb over the mountain to get inside. They certainly had plans for it, else they wouldn't have detailed it so much

Obviously it was intended to be an entrance to Naxx before they introduced that cheap-ass attunement questline. Both MC and BWL had their entrances inside dungeons, and you only needed attunements to bypass them

When you entered Strat, Naxx hovered exactly above the place that the raid entrance would lead to. Blizzard probably intended to place a portal guarded by raid difficulty trash mobs there or some shit. Would make perfect sense imo, and they could have made the Naxx attunement to require clearing Start on hard-mode/obtaining some other scourge-related shit to open a portal to Naxx from somewhere else that isn't inside a dungeon.

It was originally meant to be the raid entrance to old 40-man Naxxramas. Mute the audio if the fag's voice annoys you. Good stuff begins at 12:35.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1esdGySyQs

WoW first few raids, Molten Core and Blackwing Lair, had their entrances deep inside end-game dungeons: Blackrock Depths and Upper Blackrock Spire respectively. This meant you had to get 40 people together and run the dungeon before you could get into the actual raid instance itself. Blizzard later added attunements so that you could skip the dungeon and go straight to the raid, but for the most part, you still had to run the dungeon and collect/do shit before your attunement could be complete.

This was the same concept they were going to use for 40-man Naxxramas: you had to group up, run Stratholme and, at the very end near the final few bosses, you could take the raid portal into Naxxramas. Although in this case, the portal didn't actually teleport you into Naxx, it teleported you to another area of Stratholme that had a platform that would then beam you up into the necropolis as shown in the video. I think by this time in the game (patch 1.12) players were sick of having to run long dungeons in order to get to raids (Let alone run the raid itself) so they nixed the whole running Stratholme in order to get attuned to Naxxramas and simply put Naxx outside Strath in Eastern Plaguelands.

No one actually ran through dungeons to enter raids, attunement quests were in game since early vanilla. No reason for Naxx not to have one.

It was different in vanilla. They simply couldn't fit it in. Their problem wasn't "not enough resources hurr", they had too much instead.

In early WoW you could raid everything, and being in a raid didn't stop you from finishing quests. And then they put an end to that because the devs had a hard on for raiding.

Don't tell me you can't see the difference. When vanilla was in development, Blizzard was already preparing a lot of stuff for TBC, so it literally took them 4 months to go from the last vanilla major patch to the first TBC patch.. Nowadays they take thrice as long time to create "addons" with fucking abysmal amounts of content.

Duskwood easily, ghosts and creepy shit everywhere a spooky town, it's always dark and the atmosphere is great.
>Favorite zone in Kalimdor
Oddly enough I really liked dustwallow marsh because I really like toxic looking swamps. Also the zone just felt so off limits all the time, as horde you could rarely ever go in and as alliance it felt like a weird place you had no business being in.
>Outland
Easily Zangarmash, best music in the game too.
>Northrend
I love icecrown, the quests there as a class that could actually handle them solo were fucking exhilarating to do. There wer also so many interesting storylines there including the malganis one.

>Favorite quest chain
That's a hard one because I tend to remember individual quests more than quest chains and there isn't a quest chain I ever particularly look forward to doing but if I had to pick one it would be the AQ gate quest line. The first time I ever did it was in WotLK but it's such an interesting story line and it's filled with genuinely hilarious moments.

>Favorite dungeon's and raids
Dungeon is easily razorfen downs because that lich at the end blew my mind the first time

Raid is probably Karazhan because of dat atmosphere, I loved feeling like we were exploring a place that had not been visited in a long time. It was literally blizzards haunted mansion, really good shit.

>Prized Possessions
I've always liked my Tabard of the Protector for the neat holy nova special on use, but my favorite thing is probably my season 3 weapons because I got them on the first week and it boosted my popularity on the server and I made good business piloting other players accounts for arena gear.
