Back in my day

Back in my day flying was 40% slower than an epic ground mount.

With certain, close city pairs it still is

I also remember Thottbot. I don’t think we could name a site that and not have mixed meanings now.

[Mythosaur-frostwolf]

back in my day we did not trust warlock portals lol or needing 5 players to summon a demon to wipe out a low lvl area lol

[Hazathal-illidan]

WoW in its purest form.

[Dkomposing-tichondrius]

spent all day in Maraudon Dungeon to acquire the greatest leveling trinket of all times. Mark of the Chosen

Newly created night elf players got lost in the Ban’ethil Barrow Den. Some still have yet to return.

YOOOO that got me good

[Tessàrion-moon-guard]

I honestly miss all of this, lol. The difficulty was the majority of the fun for me. Unfortunately there is only one MMO that I know of that even comes close to the difficulty of old Everquest / WoW and I doubt there will ever be more.

Actually, there has been one in development for about seven years; Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen. It will have modern graphics using Unity game engine. It will punish people for death, have environments that you must acclimate to adventure in and more of an Ever Quest type experience.

@Malamai-wyrmrest-accord

Haha! Remembering my old EQ Shaman. Sitting on the ramp to Halas casting SOW & other great buffs for free.

My Shaman was based on the server Tholuxe Paells. I used to cast free buffs for anyone to make their adventure life easier. Favorite buff, Focus of the Seven. But buffs where also level based so you had to remember the lower buffs for different levels of players which always was a PITA.

Mages fell to their death. Because they forgot to buy feathers for slowfall

I still fall to my death (I don’t have slowfall keybound)

@Boredumb-alexstrasza

Night elves all died a hundred times over on the perilous journey from the Wetlands to Ironforge.

So did Draenei

@Fairlight-emerald-dream

I also remember Thottbot.

I used it for quite awhile. Preferred it to WoWhead and the others.

They still do that, they just forget where they put slowfall

me included

[Chilibean-azuresong]

back in my day if you didn’t stance break through parrying you weren’t a gamer.

[Simplyred-hydraxis]

@Dalahsurfal-thorium-brotherhood

they just forget where they put slowfall

I’ve learned to put things like slow fall, Paladin bubble, and Goblin glider in the same place so I can rely on muscle memory.

[Trîçks-moon-guard]

When I first started playing EverQuest, only one person at a time could loot a mob, and the first to loot could take whatever they want with no notification to the rest of the group they took anything.

They fixed that quickly but before that there was a lot of “wasn’t me” and “I didn’t take it” - Back then if a mob was holding a weapon, then you knew it would be dropped.

[Rintu-mankrik]

Back in my day there was no weather effects in the game. I was logged in the day they appeared, and everyone freaked out, because…rain

[Azana-shandris]

Let’s not forget managing your pets, and having to level them up alongside you. Heaven help you if you wanted to switch, because you forgot about that pet five levels ago and now it melts like wax in a fire during battle.

[Gwenndalyne-dalaran]

Ahhh the memories this brings back… yeah things were hard… but I loved the game back then. Really fun to read all the comments. Here is mine…

Back in the day - horde/alliance fights going on at Tarren Mill… for hours…with nobody ever winning…

[Adira-blackwater-raiders]

I do that too. All of my keybinds are set to roughly the same spots for every character.

[Scootcher-atiesh]

Swimming to South Shore from Wetlands and then running up through Tirisfal, hiding behind trees so the forsaken didn’t see you and getting chased down and murdered only to get to SM and I loved it all.

[Styg-earthfury]

boomers should be the ones starting to get dementia… it’s actually millennial wow unless people forgot when it was released O.o early millennials were in their 20’s already. that said mobile games are the boomer games. the average boomer doesn’t have much skill in gaming, way after their time.

think Gen X is what most people are referring to when they talk boomers in gaming anyways, at least there was probably some gen X that did play wow…
