>That vanilla WoW memory that always makes you burst into a nostalgic smile no matter what mood you are in
What was it /v/?
Uninstalling it a few months after release when I realized I'd been ripped off.
>>341943202
Letting an inferno run wild in Goldshire.
Hiding from the orc gestapo in the basement of an in using night elf racial.
Finding some dumbass nelf shadowmelded in a cellar during our raid
High Warlord grind.
Skipped like 80% of my classes that fall... and it ended up being my highest GPA semester. The power of WoW.
>>341943359
Watching this happen
>>341943202
I just want them to redo Warcraft 3 on the Starcraft 2 engine. They already have the voice acting files, and Warcraft 3 still gets patches.
Not to mention the HotS models for;
>Thrall
>Vanilla NElf Trio
>Uther
>Jaina
>Sylvanas
>Arthas (Model looks a bit ass, maybe use that for DKs) with Frost Wyrm models
>Chen
>Rexxar
>Kael'thas
>Anub'arak
>Muradin
>Rehgar for Shaman
>Stiches for Abominations
>Lunara for Dryads
>Brightwing for Faerie Dragons.
It wouldn't be the hardest thing for them to do.
Guild's first Ragnaros kill.
getting my first flying mount
If WoW Vanilla was released as a single player game on a next gen engine would you buy it /v/?
Kiting the world boss dragon from darkshire into stormwind.
Getting the B E N E D I C T I O N

>nostalgic smile
I dont think playing on Nost and vanilla for the first time could be considered nostalgic
More like a rational realization that vanilla actually focused on the journey over the destination and thats what made WoW a good MMO.
>>341944856
Early vanilla maybe, but the 'raid or die' post MC vanilla wow was definitely more focused on the destination.
>>341943202
The corrupted blood incident always brings a smile to my face and how I used to infect people. Vanilla was pretty crap though.
Teaming up with a couple of random people that were questing in the Wetlands to explore the area and search for members of the other faction to kill.Of course, we didn't find anyone that day.
>>341943202
>Broke AF, just hit 40, can't afford mount
>Ask guildies for help
>GM says she'll give me some gold
>End up running across the literal continent to wintershire in order to get funds
Really makes you appreciate the mount. Now they're given out like candy.
I saved my guild from a wipe by tanking the world boss (Taerer) during one of the 25% health transitions.
>>341944479
Yeah Blizzard. Do this.
>>341943202
That fucker questing with me at khazmodan 13 hours straight, we were going so slow and reading quests, messing around, eating and drinking we barely made it to level 12. Because i was new to the game and changed faction and later server i didnt meet with him again.
Also i remember that time at the entrance of MC maybe, we were dueling before raid and everybody was dying instead of stopping at 1 health, and after couple deaths we realized there was a sneaky gnome mage killing 1 healthers, a whole raid chased the fucker across searing lands(was that the name?)
>>341944479
HD WC3 assets for SC2 already exist. People are making custom games built around them.

When you start at Dwarf starting zone and you group up with some gnome guy and you are still friends after 10 years
>>341943202
Sneaking across continents to do different faction dungeons and the fights that break out at the portals
>>341943202
Getting cheap kills with the mage oneshot macro and being actually a necessity class in dungeons. Also being a portal jew was fun :)
>>341946473
A shame dota left blizzards ass gaping so they had to ruin their modding scene
>>341947807
Not like Dota's modding scene is any better.

Who else took the Teldrassil - Stormwind/Ironforge pilgrimage!?
FUCK the Wetlands.
>>341943202
Windfury proccing off windfury.
>>341948336
I did on my Druid. Fucking amazing experience, the World felt HUGE back then with no mounts till 40.
>>341948336
The longest journey of any level 6-10s play through.
>>341947891
>Dota 2 modding being able to compare to the Galaxy Editor in any way.
>>341945069
Eh. Even back then just to raid you had to do so much gearing and setting yourself up. Just because the level stopped ticking didn't mean you ever reached the end.
If you don't know what D A P YU VB means then you DON'T KNOW Shit about WoW.
>>341948589
You would think the people who made a game using the WC3 editor would be able to make an editor of the same flexibility.
>>341943202
As someone who started as a Night Elf, taking the journey to Ironforge, and seeing that city for the first time. It was amazing.
Remembering Alamo the Druid. Simpler times...
>Do Zul Farrak with PUG
>Rescue the prisoners at the top of the Pyramid
>Turn around and walk down
>See this
This was the best non raiding moment in vanilla wow
>brb grandma just fell down stairs
>start playing WoW insixth gradewith one of my buddies
>I rolled gnome warlock, he went with night elf hunter
>don't know what the fuck we're doing, decide to level in Westfall
>time to go to Redridge
>don't know how to get there
>spend an hour swimming upriver to get there, aggro every murloc along the way and end up dying to the lake monsters
That and the one song, I think it plays in Dun Morogh, with the lonely violin riff always get me.
Gearing with friends for Kara back in TBC.
I also levelled with them to 70. In dungeons.
>>341943202
Biggest regret was playing on horde. I have no idea why but literally everyone I knew was playing horde so I got shanghaied. Always hated their structures, orc music. Literally only UD and taurens (till 13) we're the only characters I could stomach. I made an alliance alt when nost was popular and had a blast, dwarves the best
>>341943202
The guild leader cucking one of the main officers that knew each other. It killed the guild, but was hilarious nonetheless.

Guys I'm thinking off playing a trial account just to see how the game has changed since vanilla. Any suggestions on which of the expansion races has the best starting zone?
WF Critting people for 7k+ with dark edge of insanity
>>341950372
It literally doesn't matter, you will be out of the first zones within like 30 minutes of play because that's how leveling is now.
>>341951812
Eh Goblin starting zones takes fucking hours with all the walking.
Farming Felcloth in Jadefire Run, farming class books in Dire Maul with my Rogue, or getting the Dreadsteed mount.
Those Tarren Mill Raids.
Me and my closest friend in the Human Inn. We're both undead. I'm a Warrior, he's a Priest. We held off an entire army of other players at the entrance of the inn for a good hour.

RIP, for some reason gaming memories of loved ones feel so much more real, maybe cause that's where we had the most fun around them
when I was really new to the game, I remember being in stonetalon killing bats on my undead warrior and the blue spear Gargoyle's Bite dropping. at the time it didn't seem like much, but I was the lvl 22 and the required level to wield it was 22.. good ass weapon in vanilla

Never played an MMO and the whole scale just seemed endless, oblivious to raiding and pvp etc just loved the world
God ill never have such a comfy and escapist feeling ever again.
>>341943202
When I was around level 25 I found a group to run Stockades with. We all ended up staying close enough to each other in levels to run all the dungeons from 25-60 with each other. We were all in seperate guilds but when it come to 5-man content and gearing up we'd always group together.
Man, I miss those guys.
>log in
>[Guild]: "Hey Anon :)!"
>[Guild]: "Sup anon"

It'll never be the same, and it feels really, really bad.
I left auto run on while watching the mortal kombat movie on TV, when I looked back I was under stormwind. That's when I figured out you can walk through any wall. Used it to get to old ironforge, caverns of time, aq etc
>Level 5, just entered Stormwind for the first time
>Some guild is turning in the Onyxia attunement quest

That experience sold me on MMOs. Could not fucking believe that shit.

Getting ganked in the town in Silithus by a paladin. Pally started to bubble hearth, but his hearth was in Silithus. Guards still killed him.

Undead or Worgen. Great zones.
Running around with Green Whelp Armor on a pvp server.
>>341943202
this extends past vanilla, but yelling at hunters for doing the most braindead shit imaginable during instances and raids.
why is it called the invisible if I can still see it?
