Oh yea I remember the death run to Menethil habor. Trying not to get killed by the crocks! I remember as a druid u had a quest to get ur animal forms, at least the bear, seawolf, and moonkin forms. Now they just give it to u and at a much earlier level. I don't miss having to keep up with arrows though. I remember running out way to often! I remember grind out quest to get rep, didn't have the tabard then. I was so proud when I got my toon the ambassador title. I was probably one of the youngest toons to have that title. Ah the good ole days when the world was new and each area of discovery was fresh. Some things remain the same even with the dumbing down of a lot of stuff. I remember when cata was new and we had all these new areas to play in. I especially remember the firelands when it first came out. It was very crowded and the alliance and horde helped each other out just to survive! Wow I still got a lot of work just to get caught up to where I was before I had to start all over again. Oh well, stuff happens and u have to roll with the punches! It still sucks though Still I miss the damn portals the most! I want them back! Oh well I better to get to doing something!

LOL I started about 2 weeks after burning crusade hit...it was a challenge...you actually had to read the quest ( no HUD arrows to guide you ) and quest items didnt sparkle so brightly, it was a challenge, there used to be epic battles in tarren mill and southshore, it was like turf war for horde and alliance on a pvp server, it was the first contseted area you hit in the game. the old days were alot of fun thats for sure. oh yeah remember you had to be level 40 to get your first mount????
Oh yeah! Def looking forward to checking out the Monk class Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2012 12:09 PM Subject: Re: [World_of_Warcraft_List] Re: Sharing humor : ) Good morning poops. I started playing almost 2 1/2 years ago. Pre cata. I remember the changes and agree that a lot was dumbed down. I like not having to keep up with arrows though but on the other hand cata was hard on the poor ole druid, which is my favorite class. Changes are enivitable so u have to role with the punches. The change I hated the most was the lose of the portals in shat and dalaran! Made things much easier! Yes the starter bags do need to be bigger! I played star wars and think the game is awesome. I can't afford both but hope to when things get better. I didn't care for rift though. There is a free mmo that is so much like it that I don't see why someone would pay for the game. My opinion though and for those who do like it more power to u! Over all and all wow is still better then all of them. I wished I would have discovered it earlier so I could have seen all the changes first hand but at least I did get the chance to see azeroth before the cataclysm and see the changes. It was a major change for the whole world or warcraft! I look forward to MOP not for pandas but I would love to play a monk! I have read quite a bit about the next xpac and like some of the things coming. Achievements and mounts becoming account bound will help a lot. All my toon can now have a chopper! Well the discuss looks lively but azeroth is calling and I want to see if I can get some heirlooms for darkmoon. Hopefully next month venture co and madoran mains will have some Cya ya in game and thanks for running with us last night Karen. Sorry for wiping so much! -------Original Message------- Date: 7/6/2012 7:28:16 PM Subject: Re: [World_of_Warcraft_List] Re: Sharing humor : ) I have only been playing for a year or two so I don't know about all the old things and ways. I like the game as it is and I am looking forward to playing the monk on the MoP. Does anyone play Star Wars? That is more complicated than WoW I think and so is Rift. Maybe those would be more of a challenge for the ones that don't like the WoW changes. lol I like the game mostly for the social aspects. And hey no one is a pariah for having their own opinion and ways of thinking. I hope we are all more open minded than that! Ugh, not I... I didn't like having a bag dedicated just to my shards - makes it easier to keep questing with the freed up bag space.I'm probably a pariah here as I don't mind most of the changes. Although I am nostalgic for many of the things in the past, I can see why many changes were made. Unfortunately, when a game has been around for as long as WoW has, it's going to have to evolve in order to accommodate both the old and new player base. Leveling has become easier and quicker because we now have to level to 85 instead of 60 and who wants to slowly slog through all those lower levels the third or fourth time around? I understand nostalgia for stacks of ammo and also for having "stat sticks" but I can also understand streamlining the game so that players can worry less about having to make sure they're stocked up with ammo or carrying the right stat piece to accomplish their goals and can use that time to actually accomplish those goals.As far as "Kung Fu Panda Commie China Sellout Whatever" - i.e. Mists of Pandaria, I'm always amused with the complaints of "dumbing down" the game and selling out or Disney-fying it, especially as many of the people who complain about "dumbing down" are not the ones who are hardcore elitist types... all the stuff being added is to help provide more entertainment for casual players. As far as the next playable race being pandas... so what? We already have cows and space goats... it's not like WoW is hardcore fantasy in the vein of Game of Thrones or something. Also, being able to farm your own herb and ore nodes sounds pretty cool to me. I'm not so keen on the pet battles, but you never know, it may not be so bad and I know that the rare pets I've been sniping off the AH will be will be great sellers, so I'm looking forward to that aspect of it. AoE looting is wonderful, especially when farming for lower level cloth and/or cool looking gear for transmog. The 3-man scenarios are a great idea for people who don't/can't dedicate their time to raiding or doing the new 5-man dungeon challenges but want to get together with some friends and may not have a healer or tank to do a 5 man regular dungeon. There are 5 new specializations in cooking, archaeology is getting a much-needed boost and the overwhelming amount of new dailies available will help kill the boredom of running the same dailies over and over and over again. I think Blizzard is doing a decent job trying to please as many players as they can and the ones who aren't pleased can find a different game to play I suppose - that's why they lost 1+ million players over the last year or so. As I said, I may be a pariah on this board because I am looking forward to MoP for several reasons, but so be it! :DOh, and I like Gnomeregan as well, so double whammy!
