STV was literally Vietnam on PvP realms back in the day

Let’s stop forcing people to say certain things a certain way. How about that? Mmmmkay?

Thousands died, literally, in Vietnam.

STV was a hostile zone in a video game. Let’s stay away from saying “literally” when it comes to the true horrors of the world in comparison to a game.

“STV was the Vietnam of WoW” is fine.

no vietnam vet cares

I feel as though this thread is using the word “literally” wrong.

“Literally” can be used two very different ways. It can mean “free from exaggeration or embellishment.” Or it can basically mean the opposite… “used in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible.” In this case, it’s obviously the latter.

That’s the fact Jack!

[Coldjuly-illidan]

That’s actually really offensive. STV is way scarier than any real war.

STV WAS LITERALLY VIETNAM

It literally wasn’t.
Figuratively, perhaps.

I think on private servers this is true. From what I remember the most pvp back in the day was the southshore vs tarren mill battle and I remember some big battles in the cross roads as well. There are a few other places I remember if you visited you expected pvp. Oddly enough I even remember bigger pvp battles at the dire maul arena compared to the Gurubashi Arena in stv. I don’t know if I just lack those memories from stv or if it just wasn’t as big back then as the private server scene. Idk am I the only one that remembers it like this?

Thank you, Varius.

I’ll wait a few days to play as it will be unplayable at launch with a 2 hour que to just get in game then dc and wait another 2 hours to do it again. I wished i was a streamer so i would have them streamer perks getting in game.

I hope our young, irreverent people don’t ever get drafted and placed out in a jungle swamp where their KDR won’t matter much.

Man I do remember getting camped heavily… couldnt do anything. I had to make a water breathing potion, swim under river way south to stay hidden and get to a spot with mobs. one of my best experiences in a video game
