***Mods - if this thread is deemed unnecessary due to the other thread discussing Vanilla/Legacy WoW then please move or delete it. I just thought with the little gathering of interest in the other thread it might be suitable to have a proper thread regarding this project.***
OcUK has a great WoW following and the discussion in the other thread regarding this new project has rekindled some of our memories on Vanilla Warcraft and some of us are wanting to take part and try it all again.
From the very beginning, where it all began.
As we know, the Nostalrius PVP and PVE servers will be launched tomorrow followed by the Elysium PVP server coming in January. Some of you will be waiting for the fresh and brand new Elysium PVP server and some probably will roll over the weekend on the others.
Personally I will roll over the weekend to get to grips with Vanilla WoW again. It has been a very long time.
There was some talk about starting our own guild up. I am up for this but would prefer someone else to GM it. I am not against doing it myself, don't get me wrong but having a 2 year old I may not find time to organise things or run it efficiently. I will give it a go if needed and see how it all pans out but having someone with possibly a little more time might do a better job.
Right. Onto some details.
You can download the 1.12 client from most torrent sites or use the "official" torrent links on the elysium-project website.
Sign up via the link above. It will direct you to the signup page. Create your account and download the client. Use you newly created account to log into the game. Try not to use the Launcher to play but instead create a desktop shortcut of the WoW exe file and use that to start the game.
Choose you server, create you character and play.
OcUK Vanilla Guild:
If we can all decide to make a guild we will need a few things set up.
1) Faction (Horde or Alliance)
2) Server (Nost PvP, PvE or Elysium PvP when it's launched in Jan)
3) Guild name
4) Guild Tabard
As we will be all wanting to get to level 60 and do some raiding we will obviously not have 40 members unless we recruit, even then we could find it hard to get 40 or more to join us. However, I am sure we wont be short of smaller guilds wishing to raid with like minded guilds come end game time.
If you are wanting to take part in this project then have your say here. If you have suggestions or some input then great. I am so up for this and even though a great deal of older Vanilla players are saying its all rose tinted glasses or you wont find it as fun could I say this one thing - Yes it's ten years old and probably full of bugs etc but I am sure you still watch an old movie thats older that has crappy special effects but you still find it entertaining and wont hesitate to watch it again. This is how I feel about this project. I want to grind out levelling and have that feeling of accomplishment when I get my mount or that weapon I so desperately need. It will have more community that actually work together. Relentless ganking at the usual spots, long walks, having to cart yourself off to a completely different continent to do a quest only to go back to hand it in. etc etc.
It is going to be fun and with some people from this community, it will make it better.
So who's with me on this?
