How to know if someone played vanilla!

[freform]

You played vanilla if you opend or helped open the gates to AQ and raided 40 man raids ? has this been said

[Phurox]

You still remember you had to pick pocket mobs to get blinding powder as rogue.

[Nielah]

You know you played vanilla when you still had fun in this game.

One shotting cloth with 2 hand wielding Enhance Shaman...windfurywtfcritcritcritpwn

Oh and....FROST SHOCK!!!

[Darkwing]

You played WoW vanilla if you rember:

AV runs could lasts 6 hours or more.
Could wipe in SM Cath even with 3 lvl 60 in the group.
Ench shams were threat bombs and could easly overaggro the tank in dungons.
Rogues could kill you with typing 2 buttons or a using a skinning knife.
Jintha'Alor required a full party to quest there.
Needed the mallet you got from Hinterlands to summen the Hydra in ZF.
Druids had the best buff of them all.
It was scary to qst at Terror Run in Un' Goro.
A Warlock with Dreadsteed actually meant something.
Paladin was ally only and shamans was Horde only.

Thats all i can think of for now.

You played Vanilla if you killed Onyxia with jumping on the "wall" to avoid Breaths...

[Embody]

you played vanilla if your mage got owned in 3 secs by a Sulfuron wielding shaman?-Windfury with legendary 2-hander in a no resilience enviroment!

1/5 of the realm was night elf hunters!

eviscerate did a fixed amount of damage scaling only with level!

frost mage was pve!

warlocks had to farm soul shards in order to create one health stone per raid member in 40-man raids!

alliance/horde ratio was like 5/2 and 70% of the alliance had no idea what skills to use?

hunters were needing everything?

rogues were 2-shotting people?

maraudon was a high level instance added in a patch?

there was a sea of 0 use talents like 1% dodge per rank for rogues or 5% fire,frost,nature reduction per rank for elemental shaman?

Will of the Forsaken lasted 30 sec!

engineering was creating nets to root people in pvp and bombs to stun them(though it was like tossing them 1.5 g)

Naxramas was the final dungeon!

some tradeskills were divided into subcategories(swordsmith/armorsmith etc)

only the horde had bloodlust!

buffs were working only in a single group!

you had to level weapon skill and intelect increased the speed of it,you also had to visit at least 2 of the faction's capital in order to learn them all

only undead priests had devouring plague!

people were just having fun chasing each other in random locations...ah,nostalgia...

Ehm, bloodlust didn't come till TBC so horde was never alone with that, just sayin

Nightdragons breath.
If you paused your raids and everyone went to orgrimmar to get ony head buff before engaging huhuran

[Budong]

If you remember what BUS SHOCK! is.....

i.e.

Shaman forums causing Tseric the CM to quit/get fired.

[Ghonda]

If you made a warlock duel you in silithus
so that he could give you curse of recklessness
so that you could be immune to fears
so you could have the smallest chance of killing that demon
so you could get your Rok/Lok!


I was down there for hours just watching my hunter friend fail =(

[sam86]

Forgot some of them, and didn't know priest buff give attack power
You should add if you remember Saurfang heroic act in AQ, and you can kill Thrall easier than Saurfang, actually you can kill any NPC in game easier than revenge and crit with 10k Saurfang

[Arwald]

If you remember Blizzard having an bias towards alliance (paladins, fearwards i loath ye)

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.

Why do you always have to be so mean to everyone?

[Budong]

...damn this thread...I haven't played in a year and suddenly I'm feeling nostalgic. Must...resist...the call of...THE HORDE!!

only if my favorite Shaman is back in the big chair

My memories of Vanilla;

Creating a night elf and running for what seemed like forever with a friend from the elf area to westfall so we could do the Deadmines, at around level 12 so we could do the pre-quests. That first time felt like such an adventure, trying to keep to the paths and watching out for mobs twice our level. Its the kind of thing you need company for to really feel fun though, on my own it would have been fairly boring.

Being told we HAD to do Scarlet Mon as it was awesome and had awesome stuff in there, and making our way there as alliance at level 38 on a pvp server. Did it with the same friend, and again was an epic, long but fun adventure.

Making my priest my main, and constantly getting whispers from people asking me if I wanted to join for a dungeon as a healer. This was partly because everyone assumed priests would be healers, and also because thats just what people did if you were a healer. I didnt have some amazing reputation on the server as a healer, if you were a healer, you got lots of whispers. At least on my server.

I remember all the people begging for money for mounts at level 40 (when that was the 60% mount) because getting the 90g you needed at that level for it was actually pretty hard, especially on your first character. When I re-rolled on a different server from my priest as a hunter, I would actually spend time farming mats for leatherworking blues (I was a hunter) which were the best sellers I had. Ironically I could get more for some Barbaric Bracers now than I could back then.

Theres more, but I gotta go to work. Will probably add more later.

I remember doing AV for the first time as my 51 arms warrior and getting my ice barbed spear from what I thought was a short match since we won fairly quickly (not all AV's took 6 hours guys...). I then proceeded to own rogues levels above me with overpower whenever they popped evasion!

This guy is so mad...
Why the heck do you come in this thread... it baffles me how dumb you are. You see this thread like you say a billion times yet you come in and complain, don't click on the god damn thread then... you not that smart, are you?
I played full classic and TBC, I quit wotlk and cata, came back now. And still most of my points are from classic WoW. Enough people replied to this thread, so it seems enough people are interested in classic WoW talk.
Also, people don't get the point of this thread, they getting all defensive thinking we trying to prove we played classic WoW, what the hell? We just talking old stuff, is that wrong? You mad about it? Don't click on the thread then.
I didn't know benediction was still available as I've never seen it anymore.
Anyway, enjoy staying mad about this thread and how we talk about old WoW days, while you're furious raging red headed behind your computer screen, " how dare they, those annoying classic WoW players!"

"Most were still there until cata"
I can bet 80% of the features named in this thread, are not in cata anymore, and you're lying. Make stuff up more, please.

Also, ignored from now on. You derail this thread.

OT:

When you didn't get /ginvited every 30seconds while being guildless.

Also, anyone from Bloodscalp EU here who played from 2005 till 2007 there on alliance? PM ME! :O

[Saffa]

op

small detail.

I never played vanilla, started December 12th 06 but...

----->>>>>>... when hunters needed ammo for their ranged weapons, and the ammo stacked per 200 and took bagslots. And there was different types of ammo's, very strong ammo could be made by engineers. <<<<<<-----

Surely that is wrong? When I played the stacks were 20, not 200, that was a patch, and you had ammo bags to give them a buff as well as the ammo itself being of different sizes. 200 stacks were later, then ammo bags went

If you remember how Silithus was just a spot on the map.
