On January 16th, of 2009, the Borean Tundra Server was opened to new players. It was the last time players could experience a Vanilla leveling experience. The newly created server was locked out for 90 days to transfers in or out. It was a unique experience for a great many people. If you ask around you may still find people elsewhere that recall those days fondly. Phrases like “Nothing Boring about Borean”, “Welcome to the Fundra”, are our legacy to the game.
As the 10th anniversary is nearing, I thought it would be a fun idea to attempt to gather up all of those that shared the experience so many years ago, those that spent a short time here, those that stayed for a time and left for something more, and for those that stayed, a day where we can all share memories of a different time. The location for all will be Old Dalaran, the city we all did our best to get to and set our hearths, the place we saw both factions, where we queued up for Wintergrasp daily so we could win control of the raid.
I do not know what effect sharding will have on the city, I don’t know how many may be seen or not. This is open to both Alliance and Horde, I think maybe even doing a Mammoth parade around town should be a priority to remember those we have lost, perhaps duels in the sewers, maybe even a battle royal in Wintergrasp.
I hope to see as many as possible, hope to see old names gone but not forgotten, I hope to see you all.
