Old school black water raider people!

I think Bro Lotion was my favorite.

omg lovina >.< the old “spy” days. "omg ur a spy… xD. That sucks that happened but it is retrospectively hilarious! xD

There was a lot of drama in the raid community alliance side. BWRs was a new server that opened past the midway point of Vanilla. We raided MC, Ony, and ZG. I don’t know of any significant progress in BWL and the AQ gates wouldn’t open until well after TBC. Certainly no one was hitting Naxx then. So yeah, not a well established raiding community, then TBC came out and new servers were opening for the expansion, causing the people that only hopped to BWR cause it was a new server, to hop to even newer green grass. It seemed impossible to keep any sort of end content guilds together in all the chaos.

The people that stuck around were frustrated and the people that moved on to more populated servers would come back to the BWR forums to insult those of us that stayed.

I don’t entirely know how Horde side seemed to avoid much of this problem, especially since they had an even smaller population. But for me, I had a lot more fun once I switched sides.

what was the name of that chick dude scarab lord who basically pulled one over on phalanx of perdition and alot of other players? night elf warrior babe. posing as a chick.

I was actually thinking about him after I made my last post. I think I vaguely remember something with him and PoP, but I don’t know what it was. He transferred a character from another server that had already done the rep grind for the Scarab Lord title, but otherwise, hadn’t done the raid level quests yet. I was one of the people that helped him do it with my draenei shaman Rainna over a month or so that it took him. I remember he told me once that people that play Horde are fundamentally bad people in real life. I thought, “Wow, that’s a little extreme,” but otherwise, thought he was ok.

One enemy he made was with Genesis, a guild he was an officer in. Genesis was the guild that Madlibs ran. I didn’t have much of a problem with Madlibs, though other people didn’t like him. Someone reported his name as not being “RP enough,” and he got contacted about it by a GM while they were in a raid, which, understandably, pissed him off. Unfortunately for him, he made a post saying “F you and your RP ****,” which understandable angered a lot of role players. I didn’t know he was getting harassed by people before that, but yeah, things got way worse for him after that. People posted crap about him on the forums under fake alts.

It was bad enough that Madlibs decided to move the entire guild to another server. I remember someone posted about how Alliance side raiding would now come to an end because Genesis was leaving. I found it pretty irritating considering Sigil had a better raiding track record for server firsts. In a, not so great moment on my part, I made a post defending Sigil, a guild I was the guild leader of, noting that Genesis only had one server first and how Sigil pretty much ruled TBC. I think they got Illhoof and Guardians of Innocence barely beat Genesis to Nightbane. It wasn’t my intention to slam Genesis, I was just mad people were acting like the sky was falling because they were leaving. But some pretty cool people saw me as talking smack about their guild and were justifiably mad at me over it.

Oh, I googled it cause I forgot. Ozka was the character’s name. Oh, and that reminded me. Madlibs told me, as one last screw you to BWR before they transferred off, they were going to have Ozka bang the gong at 3am so everyone will miss it. Ozka decided not to transfer with Genesis and instead announced the day and time, with a few days advanced notice, on the forums when he’d bang the gong. I remember us all gathering in Silithus for it.

I thought it was a cool moment, and I’m glad Ozka stuck to his word so we could all witness it.

“sips on beer while waiting for a hurricane” ur right! that was the name! n.n

Werd.


Punctuation = Consideration

Been playing on Mankrik in TBC classic. Phase 3 hit, and the next day, during our regular raid, we one shotted all the bosses in Hyjal (Archimonde took us 2 attempts cause we didn’t get the pull right the first time), then one shotted the first half of Black Temple – and not even with a full raid.

Actually, GDKP Pugs are clearing Black Temple in the first week it was released. I have a few level 70s that I PUG Hyjal with on off nights, and again, Phase 3 has only been out two weeks now.

Us old school players are like, “WTH is this game?” But man, knowing the fight mechanics ahead of time makes this so easy. I mean, in the BWR days, Phase 3 was out before anyone downed Magtheridon–after he’d been nerfed to hell. That’s embarrassing.

pfft. i had great battles with missfortune!

i won every single one of them… >.> walks away while whistling <–Arocus for reminder

edit to add i will end you all , the time of my awakening is at hand!! you murlocks and slaves to murlocks will bow before me!!!

omg xD uwu <3

If any of my old rp friends or anyone sees this, my discord is katarin7277

Hey everyone,

I was in Slow Motion in the last year before the guild server swapped. I was more on the pvp side of things, friends with a paly name josericardo who got me the invite from Bowsta. Back then in 08 it was so awesome joining the guild and I met so many awesome people through it. Peak wow. I remember a now huge Twitch streamer Mizkif was even apart of it! I actually have the guild name Slow Motion on Blackwater Raiders. If anyone wants an invite my name is Zetsu! It’s literally just me in it as of now.

If any old school BWR peeps are playing TBC Horde side on Mankrik, you can hit me up on this character. This is Lovina / Eluna / Rainna / Cecile / what other names did people know me as?

I love you all

I remember a few of these names! Arocus, Spoc.
I was in defiance my name was Adrennalynn frost or fire mage and healer druid Uttermadness! Definitely played with some of you guys miss the vibes from OG classic!!! Black water raiders was the prime. Wish we could restore it!!!
