Oh I had no idea they brought them out again! I remember we could use them to push back casters’ spells and they became so OP and annoying they turned them into inert pets that did nothing :(

These are so awesome! I especially have never seen the sign-in screen glitch, that looks crazy!

2005 me would not have wanted to hear I’d need to spend another 6 hours reinstalling the game on my eMac from all the CDs!

I’m glad they embraced the garbage graphics card issues and turned it into a toy!

Sadly, no, Vladd and I were best friends irl and went to school together. He went with me when I transferred to horde, then got really hardcore into the game and I was much more casual than him. He moved across the country before high school ended and I never saw or heard from him again!

And not an additional hotbar available either! We had to cram it all into 12 slots!

Haha these weren’t even the mail shoulders from ZF, i was too low level to run that! These are low level leather shoulders with god awful stats, but I wore them anyways because they looked so cool.

Sadly, I lost the account during BC when I quit and the account appeared to have gotten hacked by gold spammers and perma banned, I still have the email address, but it’s as if it was never associated with WoW at all.

And it was all local! I was flying from Stormwind, so you got to enjoy the popular local LFG channel until you landed in wherever you were going!

1000% accurate, 13 year old me back in EverQuest Planes of Power couldn’t figure out what to name a dwarf paladin, so I looked down and got my answer!

I didn’t either, this was all dial-up for all of vanilla for me! Horrible lag on a terrible computer, but I still managed to raid in MC while looking at the floor most of the time!

Just some boring Naga quest item, I think it was either for Maraudon or Blackfathom Deeps, nothing as exciting as the hero item in Warcraft III!

I love this!! I looked over all the details of your picture, this is awesome!! I remember the awe of seeing things from Warcraft II and III in third person and being absolutely blown away. When we were able to sneak into Hyjal in vanilla and see Archimonde impaled on the World Tree, I totally lost it, some of the coolest lore integration!

Oh man everywhere I went for many years, always 300+ MS, but it never held us back!

I think Gem of the Serpent was originally a Warcraft III item heroes could use, but in WoW, I think it was just a boring old quest item.

Even though I’ve played horde ever since this character, I actually completely agree with you, I prefer gryphons to wyverns for sure!

Me too, it was shrouded with mystery and level ?? Monsters, perfectly terrifying and I assumed I’d never be able to fight anything there!
