Rogues could dual wield shields before a very early patch.
Wasn't so much a commitment as it was mandatory, tho. People fully expected priests to be holy/disc. If you weren't, you were told in no uncertain terms to fuck off. Shadow priests were absurdly rare as a result of this (and also because their threat generation was goddamn insane).
I remember rolling a night elf and then doing the death run, so I could level in the human starting zone.

Honestly as someone who raided back then, vanilla would never last these days. Too slow, too little content for todays standards of consume, consume, consume.
I remember it taking 4 hours to get to the first boss in Molten Core when we first tried it. Could you image spending 4 hours doing content with no reward these days?
It's pure nostalgia.
Stop with the nostalgia bs. I genuinely loved it while doing all that.
I was such a noob when I first started playing OG WoW. I had a night elf warrior decked out in gear purely bought from a vendor, ran past a fellow night fellow wearing the same shit, we both stopped next to each other for a few seconds and then ran oppiste direction. Hilarious.
But, many great memories in vanilla.
First time I ever played, I made a human mage. Ran out of Elwyn Forest towards Stormwind and saw a dragon right by the gates/bridge, to this day I had no idea what it was? Dunno if it was kited or was a random in game event?
Did anyone see it?
I don't know why more people didn't just grind to Commander/Lieutenant General for the PVP mount, since it was only 90G. It wasn't really that grueling of a grind (not even half as bad as reaching Grand Marshall/High Warlord, for example) or as tedious as gold farming.

Head of Onyxia?

Back near launch a friend took three of us for a walk through Theramore and into the swamp. We had never been there and were excited.
Crocs ate us repeatedly. We got lost. One friend raged and quit. Still no idea what the guy wanted to show us. It was bizarre.
Spamming rank 1/2 starfall as a moonkin and out dpsing mages because I would never run out of mana and people would get pissed in the raid because I used my DKP points to snag a caster staff from a whiny mage instead of being a pigeoned holed as a resto innervate bitch.

Are they going patch by patch or what? Is AQ40 open?

Basically how it works, is the core of the game is a later core (likely the core of the game just before tbc) but the balance within the core is tweaked to match the balance at various stages of WoW's life. All of the "updates" come out relatively when they would have come out in retail. For example, about a month ago bwl and AV were released as well as the associated quests etc. I'm pretty sure AQ 40 is scheduled to come out in nov. or something. They have a timeline explaining which content comes out when.......https://www.elysium-project.org/timeline most of the people in my guild are people who never got a chance to down Nax before TBC, so that's pretty much our goal and we're just preparing for that basically.
People took the Deeprun Tram between Stormwind and Ironforge.
Yup! I have fond memories of this. So is this still in the game but no one uses it anymore?
so many crocodiles....
You haven't lived until you tried to run from Ragefire Chasm to try and do Deadmines as horde.
STV was a deathtrap. Especially on a PvP server.
Un'Goro was such a cool zone. Hunting the towering devilsaurs for their lucrative leather was a thrill, and it was full of Nintendo references for some reason.Was thinking about, Un'Goro crater was it called? Where the dino like monsters were. I remember the first time going into some of those caves and they had some of the most beautiful crystals that glowed.
Nesingwary's Expedition was one place I always dreaded going near. So many rogues.
Nah wasn't that.
Was a moving dragon, the a Stormwind knight kneeling.
I am 1000% sure I saw this.
