villarule123 Posted September 6, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) It was such a good game when up until WOTLK, the relief you got when you finally got your first mount at level 40, the battles at Blackrock Mountain/Tarren Mill. I kind of hope they release the original on the new consoles so I can do it all again. It'll never happen though Edited September 6, 2013 by villarule123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to use Samisdead as bait outside of one of the Alliance flightpaths, then we'd all pile in and camp them until their mates showed up.

Daniel Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I think the cross realm zones have helped with world Pvp. Hellfire Peninsula outposts are always under attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted September 6, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 6, 2013 My favourite zones were Duskwood, Blackrock Mountain, Undercity, Hillsbrad, and even though I only got a Horde to max level, Ironforge is by a country mile the best city in the game. Ahhh I do miss it sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I was a Stormwind man myself but nothing could beat standing outside the gates of Orgrimmar with shit loads of other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Ironforge was the best. Snowy mountains just outside, the Deeprun Tram taking you straight to Stormwind. There was always a Horde Rogue running around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted September 8, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2013 Is MoP any good then? I'm tempted to level my Mage from 85 to 90 and then stop playing again. I just can't be arsed to respec for the 1000th time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Stepping into Hellfire will always remain one of my top moments playing the game. Truly scary and wonderfully exciting. Fun instances there too. And fighting for the 3 flags was great ganking fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 My favourite moment is when my guild downed Onyxia for the first time after weeks of failed attempts. I had enough DKP to get the Helm of Wrath that dropped too, hell yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobler Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 My favourite moment was our guild downing Archimonde. We had mild success in Black Temple and SSC but never really had the ability or serious enough to get the real hardest bosses, so this one was particularly satisfying for us. Archmonde was a weird fight, due to the mechanics, if one person died it was generally a wipe so it just took weeks and weeks of it all coming together and one person not lagging out or one person not using their item at the right time to float to the ground. I always remember our GM just screaming down vent, "HEALERS DPS!! HEALERS DPS!! right before the wisp spirits came to finish him off, then a massive "OH MY GODDDDD" and cheering, hah! Definitely the best sense of achievement I've had in gaming. I think the most satisfying part of WoW is when it all clicks into place, particularly the battles that require pure communication and teamwork, there's a real sense that you've played a part in something special, which a lot of games can't create.

Risso Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Downing Nefarian for the first time was pretty ace. We'd taken weeks and weeks to even get past the first boss in BWL, so to finally complete the whole place was ace. I also liked it when the gates to AG20 and 40 opened at the bottom of Silithus.

MCU Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Everybody needs to get back playing one day, old and new. Would be nice to get a group of VT'ers playing again. Sounded like you had a blast before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Yeah, before. It's shit now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I wouldn't say 'shit'. The game has evolved and been made ridiculously easier which obviously hasn't suited players like you, who found it a challenge to level back then compared to now. The idea of WoW now is hit the level cap and discover a whole new 'game'. RaF, SoR are prime examples of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted September 13, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2013 It is a very different game now from Vanilla. But it's still easily one of my favourite games of all time (if not my favourite). And the thing about the level of difficulty is that it's gated to people's tastes and requirements. If you want the normal/heroic raids you still have that, and they are still a challenge, but then if you are more a casual player (like me) then there is the LFR option. Anyway, i'll continue to play it as long as it's enjoyable. 5.4 has been great so far (loving the Timeless Isles) and I can't wait to get my hands on Hellscream.
