Best of WoW - 5 years of cool stuff [123]

[coldbear]

5 years. The truly awesome. The amazing. The stuff to make your jaw drop.


1. The Greatest WoW Player Of All Time: http://dkeserver.se/stuff/angwe/ If that link is dead try http://liquidcode.org/~lostman/wow/d...e/stuff/angwe/ and if that one is dead, too – PM me or something, I finally saved a copy. Guess I should put it up on a blog post to immortalize it.


2. A Rough Go: the original Leeroy Jenkins video. http://blue.cardplace.com/cache/wow-general/3070249.htm 4 years and two server-transfers later I think I can finally forgive Ben Schultz and the P4L crew for making my server forums uninhabitable for awhile.

134. "60+ Kills in 5 minutes" doesn't sound like much right now. Back before WSG and AV came out that was damn near unheard of, except in organized TM-SS zergs. 10 Alliance ambush a full 40-man raid going from Kargath to MC or BWL in Blackrock Mtn. Due to pvpers usually hanging out in Blackrock Mtn almost all Horde raids assembled in Kargath and rode there together. http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=147593

I update this list from time to time on my website. But I figured people might enjoy it here too. Plus more people should see all this cool stuff, imo. More people should do world pvp, too. And not just hang out in Dalaran waiting for a queue to pop or go afk on their flying mount til the raid starts.

OF COURSE, THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. I COULD BE WRONG.

p.s. I said I wouldn't update this list on this forum. I was bored. It's maintenance and I missed my Crossfit workout. Meh.

[Sensual Muffin]

YOU FACE JARAXXUS

LOLOL

[coldbear]

seriously, if someone can point me in the right direction for how to make that wall of OMGMY EYES less ugly and more helpy - please do.

if you got stuff that you feel is missing, please post a link

some stuff I've left off on purpose - but I'm a middle-aged grumpy old guy who just doesn't see the point in some stuff.

feel free to make your own list, no doubt much better than mine

I won't be updating on this forum, but I will check in for ideas and update on my site unless I get bored of it

[Tobblish]

5....5years?!
the first 4 where awesome, the last one have only destroyed WoW as we came to know it.
Now bad players get gear to kill end game bosses and when they fail, they get a 5% extra dmg/healing/etc buff for each week even if it's half a year for the next expansion to come.

If theres any "veteran" players still after Cataclysm hits I'm 100% sure off that you're addicted to WoW.
You are blind, can't see how much damage Blizzard have done to once the best mmo of all time.....

I think I'm speaking for all "pre wotlk" players when I say that when The Lich Kings helm get passed over Blizzard won't get any more money from me.

EDIT: forgot to say thats it's a good list, but would prefer more Vanilla stuff ^^

[halpfultroll]

Nice post, should keep me entertained when I'm really bored.

[boulderkock]

awesome post, but i think athene deserves to be on that list IMO

/agree to more vanilla stuff, that shit is nostalgic

[Powerogue]

Brilliant.
