Yea, the PvP in vanilla is pretty bad. And by that I mean by todays standards.

I am playing on a vanilla server atm and I have a lot of fun having a guild again and progressing with it. However, im barely touching the PvP eventho I was doing only that on retail almost (until I stopped when sc2 came out).
The PvP in vanilla is way too unpolished. You either die in one stun, or you kill the other guy with one stun or ability. The PvP trinket does nothing, the number of spells is too limited, the CCs are too long etc...

I had a lot of fun doing PvP (especially Xroad raids and stuff) in the days, but it was mostly because no one knew how to play the game. When people actually know how to be optimal with their spells in vanilla, it becomes really boring.

If I want to do some PvP I go on a tbc server (even tho the RNG is quite obnoxious in tbc) or wotlk servers (like AT).


Did you have access to high end gear to compete ? Did you play another MMORPG before ?

Because i knew what i was doing since day 1 (ie : 150 shadow spell damage first month at release, while people was getting stamina and intellect on warlocks lol), and i knew people who did aswell. And played with and against them quite often.

I know the majority of players were inexperienced players, but i didn't care playing against them, but against players with experience from other games, that i had met over the years. And the pvp was great at that level.

What? Where were you finding that much +shadow spell damage? I thought most of the +spell damage came with the ZG patch and after.


probably green items with suffix of shadow wrath

Does anyone want to start a leveling group so we can do Dungeons while we get to 60?

I don't care what server I just want to play with some peeps.

Man, I checked out whats left of my pictures I took vanilla (the ones I have left) and the nostalgia is hitting hard. I lost so many pictures sadly,but luckily I managed to upload like 200 from back in the day.

Yeah, this didn't actually work very well against decent players. Maybe for blowing people up in AV.

I don't even wanna think about the grind that was needed to lvl 1-60. I remember I had the entire 1-60 horde lvling guide printed out and on my desk just to lvl people fastest way possible. It was by that troll hunter but I don't remember the name gdi. It was like a tiny novel on my desk with the amounts of pages that was needed...

Go for this private server instead if you wanna play WoW Vanilla.

Link: https://www.emeralddream.com/ (Hosted by Feenix and WoWOne)

Best Vanilla server Ive seen in quite a while. Good economy, always more than 1500 players online, stabile economy!

I just fell in love. PM if you want to create something in game!

Ive been on ED for about two weeks now, leveling with a friend. Its my first experience on a private server but Ive had a blast so far. Barrens chat is very active and there is always an infernal at xroads (lol)

I just hit 25 on my priest, and if anyone on horde needs priest heals, hit me up.

Hey,

Come join us! As stated earlier, the server is pretty damn awesome!

That was sort of like my own WoW playing career.

I've played it like a year and almost hit 60 when Burning Crusade came out. Oh how miserable I was. Ive spent all that time leveling and grinding my undead warlock just so i could play pvp and get some of that sweet pvp gear. I come so close and then they screw me over and add whole new 10 levels to grind. Gah. Ive then managed to hit 63 since than after a long and painfull period of on/off playing. I became too bored and couldnt get myself to do all that grind to 70 and ive never touched the game since.
sorry for dem one liners

Is it easy to get access to vanilla if you already have the normal wow installation on your pc? And can you then easily switch back?

No, you need to download the correct client and install it, you can't switch your normal installation back and forth.
