Has anyone played on Nostalrius? Some of my old school friends praise it and I think if I download it, it'll be like when people say they're going to the gym. I'll play it for a while, remember it was mostly just nostalgia and then uninstall it.

Was Vanilla really that good or is it mostly nostalgia? The only thing I can see myself missing is the sense of reward you get from an item. That and starting a new character without a million God damn level 1 mounts and people decked out in the same BoA shit.
>>
Vanilla is great, Nost is an OK server, the community is garbage.
>>
>>330796452
>the community is garbage.
I figured that much. It's growing bigger every day so yeah, any community that's large is probably going to be cancerous.
>>
>>330796540
even at the very start it was 90% reddit and /vg/eddit faggots spouting memes
>>
Vanilla was amazing for its time. I can't say if its worth going back to play it now though.

If you've never played vanilla WoW, give it a shot. Just don't expect it to be the masterpiece that everyone says it was.
>>
It's actually pretty fun. I got it as something to do when I'm not playing retail. Now I only play retail on raid nights and play on nost constantly. Community is helpful but also full of meme spouters. I think it's worth trying out. If you want to actually level at a good pace then roll on the pve server. If you want to get corpse camped then roll on pvp
>>
>>330796359
it lags too much
>>
At the start it was cancerous nostalgiafags and reddit sorts.

Now it's Xian, Lian, and Lao.

The former was irritating, but the later is unplayable due to server strain and being unable to communicate with 50% of the population.
>>
>>330796540
I don't know about Nostalrius in particular, but private server for WoW was mostly a nostalgia trip for me.

Avoiding most opinions concerning over convenience ruining WoW, there are some conveniences that are definitely taken for granted. IE: Having to manually dismount or make a macro in order to actually cast a spell when on your mount. It makes you feel like "oh yeaaaaaaaaaaah! lol, don't miss that."

Personally, most of the nostalgia passes and I realize that WoW is only fun because of friends these days to me and that a lack of them leads to an inevitable lack of interest in the private server. With that in mind, you might actually enjoy it more because your friends are actually playing on it, so it may be fun again AND a nostalgia trip.

Either way, good ol' times with friends are hard to pass up imo... even if you do end up uninstalling.

I figured this much as well. Anything that becomes popular is infested with Chinese gold sellers and prison farms to make profit.

>>330797154
I played the hell out of it but I was 15-16? when it came out. I had nothing to do but homework and play Vanilla. I have a lot of nostalgic memories but I just can't see it being as fun as everyone remembers.

Oh well, in any event, it's only 5 gigs.

I love it, and it's great.

Well that takes me back.
>>
>>330797764
Infested is an understatement. Legitimately 40%+ of the population is Chinese. (~6000 of the 13k on at peak times) [Vanilla server cap is 2500]

PvP is ruined due to account sharing/RMT boosting by the Chinese. The economy is ruined, and it's too late into the progression of the server to find a decent PvE guild.

Draw distance is ruined by the sheer number of people online at any given time - the game is unplayable.

As the other anons have said, it's mainly full of chinamen. I can't talk about the lag since I quit playing the day BWL came out, but even before that all the BGs were just full of afking chinamen and the content that's out isn't really that fun. I might get back into it when AQ comes out since I have a 60 warlock already on the server.

You're right, those god awful players with strange names who don't respond, don't accept party invites and never type anything aren't chinese.

What they meant to say was: Our staff has been gutted and we just could care less because WoW is our unnoticed red headed step child now.

Honestly, how does WoW retail get so little and so few updates? It takes that multi-billion dollar company forever to do anything while Indie games without their resources push out far more content in a perspective time frame.

Hearthstone championships get up to 100,000 viewers while WoW championships get maybe 10-15k.

It's fun. Fun in the same way the original was. There are a few persistent bugs, like newly equipped bags not showing your inventory and every once in a while not being able to get out of combat. The bugs have not hampered my fun at all so far.

There are anywhere between 3 to 5 times as many players as a max pop Blizzard server at any one time, so finding groups is really easy. Questing hasn't been a pain because difficult quests can be tackled by finding any rando in the zone.

The population is not only immense, it is also diverse. There are people from many different countries, most of which speak english. I have not found any consistency in any one nationality being shitheads. It's a real waste of breath to accuse specific people of ruining the server. There are definitely many Chinese on this server. Most login during the day on china time, so if you play in the evening you'll see less of them.

I have never played WoW in my life and started playing Nostalrius to have "clean" eyes and see first how it was, so far I'm having quite some fun, it's difficult to describe, the game "feels" right for some reason, it's a bit like final fantasy 14 but more unique, so far I dig it.

shame about the lack of Draenei tho

He was just a lonely middle aged man with a love for sandwiches and the guild we had. It was kind of sad to log in each day seeing if he'd ever return. We got a point where we were so big, we kept kicking out inactives and all the way through Wotlk, we never kicked his account out and no one ever logged in again. RIP Salami (his nickname).

There's no online game where you can get stories like that anymore. Everyone's just "fuck you, I'm out for myself" because games have been simplified to the point where you don't need anyone's help. Even the Mythic raiding guilds in current WoW are having a hard time finding people who want to raid. There is no community anymore.

I'm leveling on the server right now and have been for the past two weeks or so. Unfortunately, yes, the server is predominantly inhabited by the Yellow Scourge who essentially fund the server fees, paying the GMs off and causing nothing bad to happen to them in return.

Otherwise, it's fun and I want to be 60 already so I can raid.

Vanilla was highly unbalanced and overrated. Sure it's better than WoW today, but it's still very flawed and themeparky. The main highlight of vanilla was a sense of wonder and the community, but all that goes to shit on a private server since all the secrets are already discovered and exploited, not to mention that you got to deal with chinese RMT and EU faggots.
>>
>>330800843
This is an exaggeration, all the classes have benefits and a place in raiding and groups (Can't say for PvP because I never cared). The only real disparity is in early leveling. It's really bad for hunters and warriors until level 10, then continually hard for warriors until ??.

Stories like this are always depressing.

I miss my first raiding guild. I miss the two adults who had kids of their own (too young to actually play) who were like our guild mom and dad. I miss the other young teens who were around my age level, and the bro as fuck older teen/early 20s dude who always had my back. He'd chill in vent and bullshit with us constantly. He quit not too long after the start of BC. Miss that nigga. Miss my first guild and my server community.

I always loved having my own guild. I loved logging in to see a bunch of shitposters just chatting up, no matter the hours that I logged in.

Even during Cata and MoP, I had 1k member guilds and addons that helped me keep it that way. I had another addon to auto kick people with a 2 day inactive rate and at one point had 100-200 people that were always on all the time.

I tried doing the same thing in WoD but it wasn't the same. Even with 1k members, only 10-30 people were ever on, no one would talk and no one wanted to do anything. Most people were just sitting in the Garrison if they weren't doing their daily dungeon and then logging out.

You're forgetting how every single class other than mage and rogue is broken in some fashion, ESPECIALLY shamans and paladins.

In solo world pvp situations you're mostly right, but like I said it's still possible and doable given that most likely if you're encountering one of those two classes somewhere in the world a few of their powerful abilities are on cool down. I don't want to really get into it but mages especially are definitely beatable by a few classes without any engineering tricks, one of those classes is priest

Here's what I don't get. If Blizzard disapproves of what they're doing so much and doesn't want them live, why don't they have them shut down? They could send a notice to their hosting company and turn it into a legal war against them which they would easily lose.

I am not against simplifying things. Hell, I like a lot of things about current WoW over my nostalgic memories.

What I don't like is over-simplification. It makes things more tedious than grinds do. At least with a hard grind, you've got something to work forward to and you feel accomplished.

Everything about WoD is unrewarding and fucking simplified to the point that it's so overly boring.

Take LFR for example. It's a decent tool for gearing your alts up. I just don't get how people can do it in WoD. There's a near 0% possibility of wiping due to how fucking stupid easy it is and the fights just take forever because everyone is AFK. It's so utterly fucking boring.

I actually found myself having fun while leveling in Blade & Soul which made me realize what I'd been missing for so long after playing modern WoW.

You are right about there being a lack of community but for all the wrong reasons.

People already have friends. Nobody buys games to make friends. People buy games with their group of friends, get on skype/ts/vent/discord/whatever, and never talk to anyone outside their group. The reverse is also a problem, guilds already have their inner circle core group of close bud raiders. People who join the guild late will be eternal outsiders.

Simplification barely has anything to do with it. People are smarter/more savvy now. Back in vanilla most people were unaware of the best addons/guides/info websites. People clicked buttons in pvp. Everyone minmaxes in nostalrius because they can google "how 2 minmax in vanilla wow". They only group up when they absolutely have to because you get more exp for soloing, and a guide says a group quest gives the bis leveling pants until level 57. Wordless parties have always existed too. Ive invited people/been invited by people to kill a quest mob we were individually having trouble with even in retail.

Your comment about mythic raid guilds doesnt make sense either. Mythic guilds cant find people because not a lot of high skill players play wod anymore, no more 10 man difficulty, and nobody wants to commit to 16 hour a week raid schedules when you can pug the 1-2 bosses you need for loot and be done in an hour.

>>330796359
kronos is alright. less lag, scripted just as good or better (kronos animals sleep at night just like retail used to) and kronos has a temporary XP event right now where you can level at 7x the speed, so you can get to 60 in 1-2 days.

I have a 60 on nost and kronos bt i have been playing on kronos lately because the lag is too hard to work with on nost for pvp.

It's like you didn't even read his entire post. What a worthless empty comment.
>>
>>330804906
I read it, and saw how bullshit it was.
>>
>>330805018
So are you saying that blue-geared mages can't beat epic geared mages?
>>
>>330805018
Ah another "X person is wrong because I said so and nothing will ever change my opinion because it is mine" post. One of many.

>is the WoW economy just so incredibly bloated at this point that it's piss easy to get WoW tokens at their price?
yes
I make ~800g in pure gold per alt every day by logging in and doing garrison missions. You also get a weekly rare mission that gives items worth 2k-14k. On top of that, daily cooldown crafting mats make 500-1k gold a day depending on prices.

You can also solo cata raids and vendor everything for 4k a raid, but thats too much work for a garrison alt boy such as myself.
>>
>>330805061
No, I'm saying that blue-geared mages can beat epic geared warriors, rogues (cept sub but no one specs sub), paladins and shamans.
>>
>>330805264
Yeah. That's exactly what I meant under "there's no class balance" you're fucking mongoloid. You're not doing anything to disprove my point.
>>
>>330805142
isnt that what you just did though?

and a worse geared person beating a better geared person is more of a statement on how bad/afk the better geared person is than a statement on the true high skill depth of wow
>>
i love how these vanilla private servers are cyclically shilled and praised before they all invariably die out for whatever reason. how many vanilla private servers have come and gone at this point?
>>
>>330803078
I was in a guild on the PVE server with a guy named Zuna and some other dude and both were professional Heroes of the Storm players and they said that they downloaded the Nost client on the practice computers and blizz employees saw it but didn't care.
>>
>>330805264
Rogues and mages have an even matchup with all cooldowns up, mostly depends on how effectively the rogue can open on the Mage
>>
>>330805547
Rebirth and Valk have been around forever, yet no one plays on them.
>>
Reminder that Kronos was superior.
Was.
Until it turned into a funserver.
RIP.
>>
I think the real question is: Was TBC that great? And when will we get a server for it that isn't butts?
>>
If I'm a person who started WoW during TBC and pretty much dropped off during Cata/MoP, is Nostalrius worth playing? Do I need to pay any sort of subscription bullshit? And is it fun?
>>
The server is great, no idea what most people here are talking about when referring to shit community. I actually found the opposite.
Populated as fuck and pinging better than official.
>>
>>330805954
Totally free, might be or might not be worth it but you can determine that for yourself since its free.
>>
>>330805954
Since it's banking at 90% on nostalgia, you'll probably be a little disappointed, but since it's free give it a try

For competitive PvP it was, that's it

TBC was hands down the best experience I've had in an MMO. Also Nost is starting testing on a TBC server. A lot of the time the problem with TBC private servers is the 1-60 experience is god awful but if a Nost TBC server comes out there might be hope assuming that corecraft is dead.
>>
>>330796359
If you're going to play on Nostalrius, play on the PvE realm. Half of the PvP realm's population is Chinese. I'm not even exaggerating.
>>
Nost is decent. Wish I could convince friends to try it but they're too busy being cucks with the Divison.
>>

Really? It's not all the meaningful content being either nonexistent or unable to path properly?
>>
Server's great but I despise the community. Namely, /nosg/.
>>
>>330806538
Can confirm, the PvE server is awesome for the classic WoW experience. The PvP server is also fun, but in an absurd high-intensity clusterfuck kind of way.
>>
is there a PvE server?
>>
So, what's the best Vanilla and BC private server?
>>
Nost is just like any other server, your guild is what matters, there's tons of older players, just stay away from the memeing guilds.
>>
>>330808168
Nostalrius
Excalibur (this is how bad tbc servers are)
>>
>>330808168
Hellgrounds but its filled with filthy polish scum
>>
>>330796540
Remember Barrens chat?
Now it's American meme politics chat.
>>
>>330809612
>Now
It was a year ago as well.
>>
>>330809720
A year ago wasn't retail Vanilla.
>>
>>330796359
not worth the time, the only people playing it are either blinded by nostalgia goggles, or can't afford a sub.
>>
>>330805556
>professional Heroes of the Storm players
they exist?
>>
>>330796359
>I think if I download it, it'll be like when people say they're going to the gym.
wat
>>
>>330796359
great time to play since current patch is BWL which was the sweet spot in vanilla, lots of content but before things started getting fuck-y with AQ

also there's still tons of social/casual players/guilds working on MC and such that'll take newbies, the community isn't like WoD where it's full heroic/ring/achiev or fuck off
>>
>>330804495

if you are an amerilard it's your problem lmao
>>
>>330796359
Server being located in Europe makes it basically unplayable.

Maybe they could host a server in the land of the free.
>>
>>330807606
Yes.

It's not too late for start playing? How hard find party for low-lvl dungeons or quests?
