Then he had like 2k hp and died from 2 crits.

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.

Which is why you run around with succubus and seduce, and 2-shot them first.

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...

anyone played or is playing in a TBC server that you can recomend?
|
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!

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.

For me, i have never any expirence about vanilla because i start play WoW during Lich King untill Catalysm.
Just share for game play is very good because tallent is make class different.
Now looking game same as WoW, have tallent with tank class, raid and pvp.

if anybody at level 60 wants to do entry level dungeons, i'm down for ALL
pm me on TL if you'd like my wow feenix name
|

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.
