They're all bugfests.

I've enjoyed them, though the consumable grind in vanilla was a bit too much for my taste.
Looking forward to the new TBC server releasing in a week though.
Definitely worth trying if you like the older style WoW.

Yes. Behold!

Did the buff 1-60 leveling speeds in tbc?

what is it called lad?

Okay fags, I'm going to tell you how it is: you're going to compare every MMO you play to the first MMO you ever played, especially if you were young when it happened.
Because of that, you'll be struggling for a few years to recreate that first experience, if you're lucky and the game was popular enough, you will inevitably discover private servers, only to realize that no matter how accurate the experience might be mechanic-wise, IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
The community is long gone and the environment (internet, and the world itself) has been always changing, you're also now older and probably were exposed to new games/mechanics/"meta" and other stuff, you're basically a different person believe it or not.

If you want a tip that will save you a few months/years: just move on, if you find a fun game/server to play and you're having fun, good, but NEVER aim to relive the past.
If you are a young-fag that heard how "great" some game/version of a game was and want to experience it yourself so bad, mind that these comments often come from nostalgia-blinded old-fags that can't see beyond their own faggotry, there might be some weight behind sure, but don't count it to be 100% accurate.

UO was my first MMO, nothing will ever be the same for me, but I still had fun with a bunch of other MMO I tried over the years.
All this can be applied to all games in general, but MMO usually cause more impact in people.

>really like the idea of old WoW
>started as wrathbabby though
>want to play private servers but don't know about the stuff everyone else does like proper talent trees, efficient leveling, what to grind , where items drop, what's even should be levelling, attunements etc

I'd love to play if I knew some people who could tell me what to do, but /wpsg/ is such cancer

Why do you guys always think it's about reliving some lost youth?
The old wow expansions are genuinely a lot of fun, if you like that style of game.

Because it happens more often than not, and for whatever reason people like to pull other people into their personal maelstrom of faggotry.
I have to agree in the case of TBC actually, specially late TBC.
Vanilla was shit though, I'll never understand the obsession.

Best advice I can give you is to not worry too much about it, and just wing it.
You don't really need super efficient leveling routes or heavily optimized talent trees till you hit endgame.
If you absolutely must have guides for everything though, it's easy to find a bunch of guides with a quick google search. Also check out protcows channel on youtube: youtube.com/user/Protcow/videos

/wpsg/ is dead and i hope it stays dead. Its even more cancerous then /wowg/ which is mainly avatar faggotry.

>Q. Server location and reason for said server location

>A. The server will be hosted in New York. There is no specific reason that we have chosen North America other than that is where we are from. We do not believe there to be any notable impact on security relative to location, despite such speculation.

Are they retarded?
This is going to get shut down within 6 months.

>This is going to get shut down within 6 months.
Last 2 servers guy did were clossed down after month after he collected donations

Fair enough. It's mainly because I know enough about the game to feel like I'm doing stuff wrong y'know?

How was tanking in TBC btw? I know WOTLK was what normalised a lot of stuff , making lots of classes viable, is it like Vanilla where it's basically just Warriors, who are awful to level? I generally like tanking, but then maybe I'd be a burden o the group if Idk what I'm doing

Yeah, I even tried resorting to the subreddit out of desperation which was slightly better, but still not much. Constant drama and e celeb worship

>How was tanking in TBC btw?
TBC had more viable specs than vanilla, at least mechanically, I still recall a few itemization issues that were kinda solved through the patches.

Druid and paladins were made viable tanks in TBC, and I believe the long "Oh shit" CDs were shortened down as well.
It was fairly challenging though, as threat was still something you had to be on top of, especially when you hit heroics, as trash mobs could easily 1 or 2-shot your healer and DPS.
If I remember correctly, warriors were the best single-target tanks, paladins the best AoE tank and druid falling somewhere in between.

Eh not really, they are just massive bug/powergame fests. If you never played wow before then maybe? If you are after nostalgia you can try all you want, but you cant replicate the earlier expansions.

>but you cant replicate the earlier expansions.
Nostr proved faggots like you wrong

I played on a private server for a year when WotLK came out, there were a few bugged quests, but nothing game breaking, the community was pretty good, I spent most of my time destroying nerds on Warsong Gulch, good times.

> We do not believe there to be any notable impact on security relative to location, despite such speculation.

>no matter how accurate the experience might be mechanic-wise
I wish they would one day make a wow private server where I don't run into a visible bug/change from retail every single hour. It's pretty amazing how buggy they always are.

Yes

Some skills and mechanics didn't work 1:1 in there, did they.

They're good until you realise you long for the days of being younger, with the internet in the stages it was, and not knowing anything about the game itself. Not simply a playable vannila/tbc WoW
