just vanilla things
add your own
- doing the Wetlands run and dying 20+ times because there’s no boat to Stormwind from Teldrassil but you really want to play a night elf
- running literally all the way to one end of Duskwood and back and hoping to god you don’t run into Stitches because he will beat your ass
- also running all the way to one end of Stranglethorn and back
- no mounts until level 40
- not even being able to afford level 60 mounts
- those level 60 night elf mounts that didn’t have the armor on them and I’m a fool for being excited when they got armor
- literally anything involving the Onyxia quest chain including EVERY TIME someone triggered the event in the keep room and all of the guards turned into dragons
- Naxx and Molten Core attunement quests
- Cheating your way into places like underneath Stormwind and Ironforge and also the Ironforge airport and that place you always flew over in Wetlands on the flight path because NO FLYING
- when you actually needed every single flight path and if you didn’t know one in between where you were and your destination you were screwed
- I dinged level 60 killing the mobs outside of Karazhan before they were leveled up and Kara became a raid
- Stormwind park? but also no Stormwind harbor and also the old Stormwind auction house
- that PvP building in SW was like a special kid’s club because only people with Knight ranking or some such higher could enter it
- easily attainable PvP titles
- old water textures
- the pre-AQ event when you had to feed NPCs literally any crafting materials you owned
- boy anduin wrynn (oh how far we’ve come) and lady katrana prestor chilling next to each other in the keep
- no Malfurion in Darnassus it was just Tyrande (but also remember when Staghelm was in Darnassus too)
- for some reason I miss those quests in Darkshore where you’d go down the coast and find the remains of turtles and huge sea thresher beasts and have to turn them in to an elf lady who I’m pretty sure died in Cata
- having to go to your class trainer to actively learn spells every time you leveled up and sometimes you’d get lazy and not go but then you’d be weak AF and levels behind and learning new spells was just so exciting and rewarding
- lockpicking (I remember digging up all the chests from around Sunken Temple and in Redridge Lake just to level up my lockpicking skill like it was basically a third profession)
- weapon skills
- EARNING REPUTATION WITH THE CENTAUR CLANS IN DESOLACE
- wall cheesing to the dancing troll village
- weapon skills
- keyrings
- that one dwarf lady who wouldn’t let you pass through lochmodan(?) w/o a key n she was a real dick about it
- preraid gearing process
- fire/dark/cold resist gear
- 40ppl raid. just remember about late, absence and other things that delays RT
- how much pieces boss droppes? 4? 6? and here are 40 ppl
- gimp specs. you wanted to be, for exsample, moonkin? forget. you want to be a healer in raid? dwarf and holy spec, no options
- short time effect of buffs
- Sylvanas night elf XD
- hunters shoots gold, literally
- crowd control! hold that damn moon at sheep!
- your favourite addons? haha. but maybe some of them could be optimized
Sounds like “FUCKING NO WAY”.
I really cant get why some ppl wanted vanilla servers. Whats wrong with them? They like to suffer permanently?
- Nefarian class calls. Hope you’re quick as a hunter because you’ll be fighting without a ranged weapon the entire fight if you fail to unequip your weapons in time
- Ranged weapons on rogues and warriors
- Hunter pets? You mean MC boss pull fodder.
- Quivers and Soul Pouches taking up one of your bag slots, and generally filled to the brim.
- 90% of your bags filled with encounter-specific armor sets, multiple weapons, mounts, spell reagents(!), potions and food items for you/your pet.
- Different damage types on spells / weapons.
- Getting that sweet new epic weapon, then realizing you haven’t leveled its skill up so you miss pretty much every single goddamn swing.
- Spellcasters forced to wear dresses—errr, robes.
- That time when mobs wouldn’t automatically switch into evade mode/reset to max health just because your ranged character(s) had the high ground?
- Woo Ping
- Warlocks and Paladins getting free level 40 mounts, to everyone’s jealousy
- Finding a Warlock who had actually done the quest so he could carry you to your level 60 mount.
- tons of skills that essentially did nothing and were just there for lore reasons
- Dire Maul in its entirety
- The constant world pvp battle between Tarren Mill and Southshore
- THE CORRUPTED BLOOD INCIDENT
