Some things you didn't know about WoW...

[Black Rider]

-Death Knights and some other classes were planned to be released with original WoW, but they were saved for later.

Anyone know which were "other" classes?

Sap used to break stealth unless you had imp sap, arcane explosion was a point talent, Lacerate was a talent way back when as well. Feral in Vanilla= lol

[Volent]

This is sort of unrelated but the part about Michael Koiter is also in starcraft 2. He's a terran that's fallen in battle and Jim Raynor finds his tag. It's very touching actually. Nice to know blizzard cares for their members like family.

(If you are playing on US servers, you can roll a human on server Moonguard, and walk to Goldshire Inn. Warning: What is seen cannot be unseen.)

You are not quite right.... Arcane Explosion was not a point talent, however you had to pick a talent to remove the cast time, and Lacerate was a talent in the survival hunter tree.

Blood elf priests had a hand of weakness ( forgot name) that did slight damage and would do a melee debuff to anyone that had hit the priest.

Blood elf priests had a spell that turned debuffs into mana mate.

This is a really cool list, I remember some of the things on there but many of them made me go "Whaaat?" :P

Pretty sure you might be thinking of mana tap then arcane torrent combos. I had a belf priest and they shared that hand of weakness? with trolls iirc

I assure you, they had just such a spell as I mentioned, they might have had a hand of weakness one too, that I do no know... Obviously I can't find the info regarding the mana-snatch spell atm :S

Found it: Consume Magic - http://www.wowwiki.com/Consume_Magic

However you were also right, they did have Touch of Weakness, along with Undeads, they one Trolls had was Hex of Weakness.

Bookmarked.

[Schmoopsy]

actually this is how frostbolt-volley could be done with only a few lines of code

pseudocode:
#chooseplayer
#choosecast
#targeteverybodyinaggrolist
#cast

Of course it could have been death n decay which would kill everybody if there were many players O.o imagine 40 dnd stacked on one place.
they probably have added one single line after deathknights reporting him not casting anything like that while soloing him

#deathknight Death Grip

done, easy as that.

or general flag for deathknights when mobs copy skills. i think there are mobs out there that copy skills and its always deathgrip.
ah in zulaman! i think the boss that copies skills deathgrips but im not sure. it would be a hit that classes have skills flagged that generally get copied.
Mortal Strike, Death Grip, Hammer of Justice?

Possible, but his buff also restores Runic Power, so at the very least they had to have gone back to the encounter and edited the tooltip to reflect that.

i remember back in the vanilla days it was possible to players to get Martin thunder or well to it got removed by blizz fastly

and renamed www dot wowhead dot com/item=192

[Revolve]

Wow, really nice read. Made me chuckle and got me a "wow" feeling. Sweet!

[Cocobutters]

bump for this epicness

[Syronicus]

Class specific mounts (Pally and Warlock) used to cost mana.

[archelios]

This has no doubt been mentioned, but I just remembered it. I'm not sure if it was removed in TBC or WotLK, but in vanilla if you logged out anywhere it would pause your character, no matter what. Meaning that if you jumped into the air and hit /camp, your toon would appear to float in mid air. A couple of us used to have fun doing it during BWL runs with most of the raid going WTF?

You also used to be able to adjust something like the pitch amount through the /console command during TBC and do loop-de-loops on your flying mount. Not sure when this was removed (or is it still possible?).

still possible

[Metric]

Wowww. This thread brought me much entertainment. I must say after hearing the Moon Guard (US) one, I automatically made a human and jumped into the inn. Not only was I shocked by the amount of people naked, I had someone named Lovedoctorr whisper me "Wanna have some fun baby?" LOL.

[texaport]

Class specific mounts (Pally and Warlock) used to cost mana.

And were spells in specific schools. If you were in a BG, you didn't use the pally mount because you could get jumped and interrupted and were locked out of the holy school.

[hotandholy]

amazing thread, chapeau
