What this article doesn’t stress is that with Heirlooms you LITERALLY can Dungeon it straight up from 1-85 quite comfortably...

I think a lot more zones are more “DEAD” than ever since they streamlined Heirlooms and made them much easier to get with gold.

Like level 10-85 of my last 3 toons literally consisted of…

Haven’t played since Year 1, but Deadwind Pass is still useless? That’s a shame, always wondered what Blizzard’s plans were for that region.

Hey, I loved Vash’jir. Loved it first time I went there, loved it every time since as well. It has a great flow of quests (with a small exception towards the end when you reach the submarine cave when there’s a bit much swimming back and forth), and it is beautiful, and very dramatic, and the music is epic. Seriously,…

1k Needles and Burning Steppes both don’t really deserve to be there. Sure a lot of the lead up in Burning Steppes is boring, but if you focus on the main questline, it has a fantastic finale that makes it worth it.

He should have put in Swamp of Sorrows, that zone sucks even post Cataclysm.

Also, fuck farming the cultist clothing.

Priests MC’ing people into lava were the best.

Good times at Stranglethorn Vale and Blackrock Mountain, especially when opposing raids would clash on their way to MC or BWL. Blizzard created an unforgettable experience in vanilla, that’ll be hard to beat.

The Taren Mill/Southshore raids were the best.

The time commitment is what got me every time. I’ve started and quit playing warcraft probably a half dozen times over the years because, at it’s heart, it IS a fun game. Low levels etc are fun, you progress quickly, and you can play for an hour here and there and still make some solid progress.

Then you hit max level…

One of the <many> reasons I quit WoW, after playing it from release to Lich King, was the vast change in the mechanics, and the dumbing down of instances to make them more accessible to casual players. I wanted to quit after Burning Crusade, but kept playing because guild friends, but I was seriously put out by the…

You can actually download vanilla WoW on private servers and play it as it was when it was first released or whatever patch you want. I have Wow patch 1.14 and it was great to play for nostalgic purposes.

Yeah, mostly it’s nostalgia that makes me want to go back. About a year ago I leveled a toon from 1-60 - pretty much just in classic instances. That was fun. I keep wanting to do it again, but for the leveling, not the end game.

Thanks for the WoW nostalgia! I stopped playing towards the end of the LK expansion, and haven’t played since. I loved world PVP in this game, too many memories of ganking and getting ganked while levelling.

I’ve never played WoW, but I was huge into Everquest. I always find it terribly sad that there are so many outdated zones that still look amazing, or have things that are great fun, that are completely ignored now. So much work went into making them, and players will just rush right through on their way to the max…

I know MMO’s are all about evolving over time and adding new features, but I was a longtime Vanilla WoW player who quit towards the end of Burning Crusade. By the time I decided to use a free trial and go back into it several years later, it was a completely different game. I even tried avoiding the new areas and just…

that fucking horse. When they shut down WoW you will find me in Kara still trying for that gd horse.

The Ghostlands. Holy shit, I remember when I first decided to try out blood elves, it felt like I was forever in there!

“Can I go now? Am I done yet? Can I please leave this place now? Can I go? Can I go? May I please be excused now? Can I please go now? Oh yay finally...ARGH! Not another questline I have to complete…
