I’d forgotten about the issues I had back in the day - The level 24-26 gnolls behind Redridge killed me soo many times back then… IT was fun though!

North of Westfall. A huge cemetery of players that didn’t listen to this post.

OMG This! Don’t accept the quest! Don’t go in the entrance! You will die multiple deaths before you give up!

That was nerfed during vanilla’s lifespan was it not?
If yes, we’ll have the nerfed version.
PSA to fellow undead players.
The spider cave on the very starter zone.
The Lich King or Sylvanas didn’t prepare you for this nightmare.

I don’t know if it was nerfed or not, but ran it with my son during the stress test and it was no joke even with two of us.
During the last stress test - I met the pillager many times on a mage. Unfortunately, it was the same one over and over again lol. Kept getting jumped by several of them.

Theres that ship on the West coast of Westfall (hah) with murlocs in it. We pulled one, 7 came out of the ship.
Good times.

When a quest says [suggested 3 players]…
Retail = 3 players? Pshhhhhh LEEEEROOOOOY JENKINS your way to victory.
Classic = bring 3 for sure - hopefully 1 is a healer. 2 can get by if 1 is a pet class…maybe.
I remember holding on to quests like that and going back later to finish them after I had “outleveled” them.

I had forgotten this important lesson about murlocs during one of the stress tests, but there were so many people around, the murloc village I had wandered by was not very populated.
Then they started to repsawn, and I quickly died to three of them. When I rezzed, I found myself udderly surrounded by those vile creatures. But fortunately I remembered my training and I was able to run away far enough so that when I died the second time, I could rez outside of agro range of those beasts of my nightmares.
Good times, indeed, and quite nostalgic. Can’t wait for Classic to launch!
/moo 
Those Murloc Oracle casters in Westfall hit hard and will burn you down in a heartbeat. You aren’t going to beat them in a DPS race if they’re the same or higher level.
I read somewhere that the Defias Pillager was statistically the most dangerous mob in the game, and was responsible for more player kills than any other NPC.

Just wait until you all remember the joys of running all the way to the Hinterlands and then to the top of a heavily mob infested temple just to get the Hammer for the gong in ZF. Then the walk from Hinterlands to Tanaris.

I think that was a disgruntled blizz employees last gotcha before walking out. “You think murlocs are hard on land? Try killing them while swimming in a 360 degree 3 dimensional aggro sphere, MUAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHA!!!”
