    This is just a nostalgia thread to remember how it was like, like I wrote in the OP.
    It's amazing to see how bothered some people are about this... I don't get it. Click on the thread, know what it's about, but still keep flaming everyone. Get out.

    OT:
    When we farmed fade leaf as rogues, haha.
    When all rogues knew Ming, the rogue hero, haha.
    I'm butthurt? Because I've seen the same thread a billion times? You would have known if you did a simple search. Most of the things you mentioned AREN'T EVEN VANILLA SPECIFIC. I got my Benediction in WotLK, does that mean I remember Vanilla?

    I didn't flame anyone, I simply said that none of your "memories" prove that you played vanilla. It's facts that anyone knows by now. Because of, omg, threads like these.

    If you told me a story on the other hand, about some specific experience or some grind, I'd respected your thread and story. This is just a list of features, that again, most were still there until Cata.

    Dunno if it was mentioned before, but I know I played vanilla and one would loose his/her pvp rank if you did not keep up with pvp. I got to rank 7 to get the blue caster boots for my priest, because the ones from ubrs wouldn't drop. Than at some point I slacked with pvp and I lost my rank, which meant I could no longer wear the rank 7 boots and raided molten core on my bare feet .
    You know you played vanilla if you at least once have spend >5 hours in Stratholme/Lbrs/BRD/UBRS.

    You played vanilla if you had to level up your 2 handed mace skill with your shaman each time you speced to Enhancement.

    You know someone played vanilla, when he is not trying to prove he played vanilla... all the rest? wannabes.-

    I think many vanilla players will either recognize this song or perhaps it will at least bring back some memories

    Myth maybe, but it was on Int's tooltip for sure.

    When the mount not the riding skill cost more gold. (changed to stop gold transfers)
    When you slightly panicked every time you looted a mob. (pick-up bug)
    When jumping and spinning meant climbing any wall.

    You know you played beta when.... everyone had a party in Ironforge as the servers came down before launch.

    Just to be a pedantic jerk but originally epic riding was ~90g whilst the mounts were expensive. In a patch blizz switched this and scores of players were kicking themselves.

    Did the Unstoppable Force knock you down or just back? I remember the Earthshaker definitely knocked you down.

    You're a vanilla player if you hear the word Maraudon and a tiny part of your brain whispers 'oh that new instance'.
    Or if you ever instantly capped an AV flag with a Hand of Edward the Odd.

    You played Vanilla as a healer when you farmed for the Hide of the Wild (http://www.wowhead.com/item=18510/hide-of-the-wild)
    You played Vanilla as a priest when you had fun mcing people in Blackrock into the Lava
    You played Vanilla as a priest when you farmed Eye of Shadow in the Darkwhisper Gorge (or got it from Kazzak/AH)
    You played Vanilla when you farmed Elemental Fire in Arathi

    I don't mind Vanilla threads, but I want personal experiences. I love reading about some event or quest from back then, but I won't glee at every "LOL I REMEMBUR BARRENS CHAT".

    I'd love this thread if it was more personal and didn't feel like a giant copypaste from Wowpedia.

    Example, jbombard's story. THAT'S good thread material.
    Sorry, it was not my goal to accuse you of starting it every time. That was not formulated optimally. Thank you for the constructive reply, I agree with you. It indeed would be a better thread. So I will make the first step then.

    I still remember when I reached lvl 60 with my first character, a dwarf paladin named Migrin. I was killing a mage ogre in the searing gorche and farmed my last percentages of XP. It took me a little more than 20 days of time played to reach this point and I was very proud to have been 6 days faster than my friend, who played a gnome rouge.

    The next day I started with the MC pre quest and got the polearm from UBRS. I felt like I was doing a butload of damage with it. The last 2h weapon I got before was the mace from Maraudon. The week after, I was taken to MC the first time, expecting to rip things apart. Only than I realized what it means to be a paladin in a raid. I was mashing my decursive macro like a mad man and refreshed my 5 minute buffs when there was a cd to spare. But what really made me said was when I was told to wait out of fight to rezz people afterwards...

    Knowing who Thottbot was before wow, and beeing a frequent guest on his page shows, that you played MMOs before WoW

    That single night elf NPC at Forest Song who always got killed by horde.
    Escort quests involving an NPC that's several lvls below the mobs in the area.
    Outdoor instances. (Stromgarde, Jintha'Alor)
    The daring run from Chillwind to SM through WPL and The Bulwark.
    You knew what a "switcher" was.

    You know you played vanilla if "LOOT THE DOG" was one of the most frequent phrases ever said in raid chat or ventrilo/TS2.
    And if "DONT LOOT THE DOGS FFS THEY RESPAWN" was one of the most frequent phases ever said in BG chat. (bonus points if you knew it was a lie all along and they respawned when Drek reset)
