Which elevator will kill you first?

I wiped to the UC Elevator boss on numerous occasions. Had to learn the encounter and master patience, as my GOGOGO attitude would cause undesirable repair bills.

Then how about this: Did we have guild banks in vanilla? No? Then no. That’s not “having to take someone’s word for it”, that’s “remembering when this stuff was added”. (Guild banks were added in BC.)

And to answer the question: The first one I remember was glitching through the elevator in Undercity, so it would not surprise me if that happened again.

Zeplin crashes killing you during loading screens.

I’m playing orc rogue so the first chance of dying to fall damage will be the zeppelin when i go to do some quests in tirisfall for extra 2 levels before i go to barrens. The next chance will be Thunderbluff, and then the lift for 1k Needles.

I’ll probably end up auto running into a UC elevator at some point and getting stuck on the wall and then dropping down and dying when the elevator is on the bottom floor.

Even though you’d be ditched out in the water and would die from fatigue, I always found it funny when it happened to me and is one of the “fond” memories I have from the early stages of WoW. I was always a bit nervous when boarding the zeppelin between Durator and Tirisfal.

It was the undercity elevator that got me first, was on my Druid and had to go to Silverpine for the shapeshift quest line, and figured I’d go and check out Undercity, entered the lift at the top, the floor started to descend, but apparently I was still ‘in the door’ 2 seconds later the game decided I was no longer ‘in the door’ and I fell to my death.

Suffice to say whenever I entered that on my druid any future times I always used my much smaller travel form :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Most memorable falling death? Into Un’goro. Can’t remember why I didn’t take precaution, but maybe I was just dumb? It’s not an elevator though, so that’s another topic kinda


Thunderbluff and Undercity seem popular, and I can’t think of any outside of them. Plenty of places to fall from, but elevators are another story.

The Great Lift, which connected the Barrens (back when it was the big one-zone SUPERBARRENS!) with Thousand Needles.

Oh my, that was buried deep for me. I do remember it now, but barely; pretty sure I avoided Thousand Needles 80% of the time. xD

73

If not TB it will defo be the ones leading into Thousand Needles as it was the bane of my existence long ago. D:

Guild bank alts. So. Yes. There was a form of a guild bank. A player work around of that oh so “important” inventory management. Just no log or in game UI.

75

Its that walk to thousand needles in the
 mid to early 30’s as alliance man. I’ll probably jump off The Great Lift from barrens into Thousand Needles and attempt to Blink the landing on my mage, and screw it up and die.

Flight points. So. Yes. There was a form of flight. A Blizzard sanctioned creation to help with that oh so “important” traveling. Just not as much control over where you can go.

:thinking:

I have never died in wow.

You got me there, the concept of a “guild bank” did exist (typically as an alt of the GM or main raid leader, as I recall - gods help you if they were jerks), but to clarify, that’s not what these clowns are asking for. They want the actual in-the-wall-of-the-bank guild vaults, which were not added until Patch 2.3 in November 2007.

Probably the first one I encounter

recently with a fresh lvl 20 nightborn in Orgrimmar elevator.

they’re faster than you jumping off
