Does anyone 'member that guy who used to spam trade chat back in Wrath about being a Nam vet? In hindsight, I think it was actually pretty funny.
What do you 'member?

Back in Cata (I think?), having the time of my life on my Gnome Mage by going into chimneys and using Have Group, Will Travel to teleport taller party members inside and trapping them. And they couldnāt Hearthstone out because of fire damage interrupting it.
ā¦ Pretty much being a butthead.
Lowers head in shame.
Edit: Just to clarify, Iām not all evil. I was a mage and always gave them a portal out after we had a laugh!

Sup Golavar. Always cool seeing a name I 'member.
I also 'member Thundermont trolling Trade about how much RP sucked now, and his trying to crash an RP scene turning into one of the most fun random IC moments Iāve ever had.

I didnāt come to WrA until early Cata (I think actually like 3 months before it launched), but my earliest and fondest memories are of terrible worgen RP. Oh the things I āmember.
There were approximately 837 pack guilds, and of those, about 90% were one guy who wanted to be IC referred to as āalphaā, with no other real plan. I saw dozens of āICā fights over who was in charge of what territory. They all also had names that sounded more like a high school metal band.
What else do I āmember? 
ā¦
OH! In Mists of Pandaria I mained Horde all throughout. I played a blood elf priest with the Darkspear Rebellion, and hung out in Razor Hill healing and buffing players. There was an orc clan who hung out there, who will remain nameless for the sake of not publicly shaming, and also Iām drawing a blank on their name anyway right now. They were a riot for my teenage self to sit and watch and judge like a mean girl.
They all tried so hard to be the most metal. One of them would be hanging out who had a missing eye. Then their friend would show up who was missing an eye and an ear. Then someone shows up who has likeā¦ elf ears sown into their arm. Then the next arrival has their eyes stitched shut, to no advantage to themselves, but because itās shocking and gross. The best part was they never did anything. IC they were apparently not a very busy clan, cuz they never went anywhere. Just talked a lot about their past feats of strength. They were truly the The Room of guilds. Not good, but I couldnāt look away.

I think we all know who youāre talking about, for better or for worse. God, nostalgia can sometimes be some depressing stuff.

That guy in Trade who said donāt mention ants.
Oh wow. āPackā guilds were such a peculiar phenomenon of fragile egos.
You couldnāt go a day without some shirtless worgen coming up and snarling at you either to fight him (if you had a male character) orā¦uhā¦ (if you had a female character). And without fail, any time you refused or ignored them, they would fall to pieces, crying about how bad an RPer you were for not indulging their every whim.
Which, of course, made people make fun of them more, which, of course, is why we donāt have pack guilds anymore.
They all did this.

That is pretty true. I just remember these guys in particular. They never moved. And it was every day, for likeā¦ a year. I was sad to see them go. Not for wholesome reasons, but still sad.
Yeah I remember really loving worgen lore and wanting to role play a worgen, and the first pack I tried to join, they wanted me to do some weird ceremony where I swore loyalty to the alpha, and basically fawned over him while everyone watched. Even as a kid, with little understanding of psychology, something about that did not sit right. I said nothanx.

So, I will just say that I do in fact āmemba!ā my first day in this game very well.
Was the first time I was visiting SW in my Dwarf hunter, I thought the Deeprun Tram was super cool!.. did not understand why there were 40 horde on the car behind me until we arrived and they went in for the attack on Varian.
I was helpless in the fight being low level, but I took part because I thought this was the coolest crap ever to just go down out of the blue.
I remember far, far, FAR too much.

Typhooning most of a FTH raid group on the boat from old Astraanar to Darnassus into the middle of the ocean. I stood dancing with the group unflaggedā¦quickly flaggedā¦sneezed then jumped into the water and swam away giggling like a school girl. The orc raid leader still plays and I still chuckle every time I see them
The time most of Stormwind went insane and everyone started following a random cow dubbed the āMoosiahā https://imgur.com/a/pga1QeG
It was actually a crafty priest who discovered a MC bug and was able to permanently have certain mobs follow them. They were waaaay up in the sky while the cow was on the ground. I was able to figure out how they did it and left mobs in Orgrimaar https://imgur.com/a/mTLmXKQ

Icyhot, the trade troll who said he wasnāt trolling. He pissed off some guild (Instinct?) who reported his name over and over. He kept changing it to different versions of Icyhot.

This one always bothered me. Both because it was unnecessary and because of the lack of ātheā or āaā in front of nightmare.
I always saw it as being a place, so itād be like summoning a steed from Detroit, or university, or areas like that.
