Found this the other day;

https://en.nostalrius.org/

Free, 6000-9000 players on one server, I have to admit i'm loving it.

Hopefully some of you guys will come play.

PVE server now available too!

Might give it a bash for old time sake!

It's just like Vanilla, honestly, I don't know how I had the patience to level two chars to 60 in Vanilla! It's crazy.

but fun, so come play!

It's just Vanilla with TBC being introducted eventually. Got my Orc Shaman to 30 now.

Neoboy you Horde?

SubFocus · 8 Sep 2015 at 08:32

If you roll horde, send me a message, name is "Dappadon".

Ignore the guys on the forums, some right *****s on there!

Yea, just found that out through their extremely 'toxic' community which has really put me off playing on the server haha.

It would seem unless you know the game like the back of your hand, you're not welcome.

I'm just going to continue to troll them now.

Just seen this - wow.

I can assure you players on the server are much nicer!

Awesome!

I'm in Stranglethorn now, it's crazy!

agnes- sent you some gold mate.

I'm Horde! But others may be Alliance!

SubFocus · 16 Sep 2015 at 09:01

Miss Miss Dodge is all i'm seeing at the moment!

Level 39 Orc Shaman now called Dappadon.

Staying at 39 as I don't have 100g for my mount yet

Lost interest.

Vanilla WoW = Vast open world where you will bump into friends and enemies anywhere at any time, a true adventure

Post Vanilla WoW = Central lobby system where everyone stands around an NPC all day

Read up on this, TBC will be a seperate server and the Vanilla one will be left untouched.

They are also opening a Vanilla PVE server soon, so you can play on there if you don't fancy PVP

anges,

grab this;

A tiny bit buggy, but overall works well. This will list your quests in order relevant to your location and if you select the quest it will put the arrow on your screen. Be aware! The arrow sometimes takes you back to the Quest Giver rather than the objective!

But the marks it puts on the minimap helps loads and if you mouseover a mob it will tell you how many you need and wether it's a quest item etc.

Try the "Toggle Questie" button on your map, this may reset it

How has this thread survived?

WoW vanilla was a blast but sadly I lost interest when TBC came out. Played it now and again since then but nothing like I used to.

Come back! Vanilla is back in full action on Nostalrius :eek:

Thanks ShortWarning!

Might see you later..

BWL was fun the 1st few times times you run it sure (BRM is my favourite raid 'hub' for a start), AQ40 is horrendous, to big, ****** bosses and crap looking gear.

Nearly as bad as the GM's on Nos porting players into raid instances, being dodgy with lockouts, giving out loot to their guildmates etc. These sorts of shenanigans are pretty commonplace on private servers, and is the reason I personally stay away from them.

Yeh definitely, although I've never witnessed this on Nos. Sure it happens though!
