You just had to be there.I feel bad for people that will simply never experience good video games and good operating systems.
>>738307528>My computer iconOh how times have changed
>>738307528Yeah I just had to be there to kill 1000 mangy wolves and pick 6 million flowers so I can complete the first quest and earn 1XP and then do it again for the rest of the gameFantastic experience buddy, really cool
My desktop looked something like this up until around 2009 or so. Good times. Vanilla wow around launch time in the first few months was magical. That feeling will never be recaptured again ever. I quit the game when I reached endgame and in order to get the best gear I was forced into raiding, and it turned into an autistic overoptimization and a logistic nightmare to get 40 somewhat semi-competent people together, that got to the point that you had to pass a fucking job interview in order to get into a guild that could progress, that's where I said fuck it, the game turned into something I have no interest in pursuing. But I will never forget the good times before that.
>You just had to be there.You can be there in 9th May on Kronos V
>>738307728I actually enjoyed that part. People were everywhere doing quests, killing mobs, could meet people and team up for harder areas or elites organically. I understand MMO quest design isn't for everyone but I think vanilla wow hit the nice middle ground between the mindless mob grind leveling older mmos had, and what we have currently, that is just follow quest marks, mindlessly skip through dialogue, occasionally kill 3 wolves to trigger the next cutscene, and do this for 50-100 hours, looking at you FF14 or BDO, or Lost Ark, or anything really made in the last decade.
>>738307815I used to have a VM specifically set-up for pservers but it's worthless after seeing what kind of retards run them so I just nuked it.Also too many Balkan & Mexican people on them.
>>738307528What, early 2000s internet? Yeah, that shit's never coming back my dude. We've progressed backwards.
>>738307882See you on Saturday. :)
>>738307891Wonder how these stats look today
>>738307949it's still mostly china and india
>>738307728Know what is really fucking cool though?Being THE chosen one (like every other zoomer mulatto who still plays the game) who goes on a linear storyline with lots of queer and bipoc folx and earning participation trophy gear
>>738307528Late Millennials and early zoomers were the ones who got to experienced it the most.It feels weird to realize the world likely will never be the same ever again. and most people will forget about it. it will only lingers in memories.
>>738308065>the world likely will never be the same ever againit won't with 3+ billion chinks, indians and other assorted low IQ shitskins fucking everything up
>>738307528I hate silver XP theme.
>>738307761Same I quit right before og naxx came out. Then came back for BC and the game just never grabbed me like it did. The first year or two of wow was pure magic.
It's scary that people in the future will look back at current slop and think it was genuinely good and nostalgic.
>>738307528this, it's no longer the same when you're playing an old game years later.
>>738307528I'll be honest, I don't miss having to wait all day for something to download
>>738307528>icq>2004/2005nigga
>>738308472Yeah just look at this trhead of depressed epstenlennials think wow was ever anything but the most dogshit and genrekilling normalfagcore threadmill.
>>738308365I had a very similar path with it actually. Quit a little after AQ came out, came back for BC but just wasn't the same, leveled to max then quit forever.
>Being nostalgic for Windows XP>Being nostalgic for Windows Vista>Being nostalgic for Windows 7Never thought I'd live to see this shit.
>>738308861How exactly is WoW a genre killer? It's not their fault every other MMO is dogshit that cannot out-do current nu-WoW.
i was in a highend guild in vanilla that cleared all contentwhich in retrospect i found out was extremely rarethey were a good bunch and i learnt better to relax socially by interacting with them almost daily on voicecomsi look back on that time fondly, but i do not wish to taint it by trying wow classic or private serversits just a cherished memory
>>738307528>WoW>good>evergood joke
>>738307528I don't feel bad for zoomers at all, they literally ruined the entire entertainment industry.
>>738309017Millennials did that tho
>>738309079Nope zoomers did, you literally complain about everything, we never did.
>>738309079Gen x too, zoomers are only now in their 20s and 30s they haven't had the buying power to shape markets, and legit boomers don't really play vidya
>>738309017Nigger zoomers had 0 purchasing power when the industry was ruined. its literally all people over 30 who play diablo 4 or gachas. Kill yourself
>>738308861zoomjeet malding lmao
wow was never a good game and it killed the MMO genreblizztroon cultists will never admit to this even as they keep giving money to their increasingly tranny infested company
>>738307728>WoW then>first quest is killing 10 mangy wolves and picking 10 flowers>final quest is killing a dragon in her lair in an epic encounter after uncovering her secret plot to destabilize the ruling government through a series >WoW now>first quest is killing a dragon that has been terrorizing the world for the past millennium (except this was all off-screen, don't worry about it) that you handle in a 3-minute scripted cutscene where the NPCs do all the work>final quest is picking flowers for a gay couple
>>738308960XP, Vista, 7 were all decent. Nobody is nostalgic for windows 8. Nobody will be nostalgic for windows 11
>>738310509>Vista was decentIt's literally the worst operating system they ever created.
>MMOs>good videogamesLol, lmao even
>>738310559vista was good
>You just had to be there.Here's a comic from "back then".
>>738310559that's windows ME and the reason vista failed was because they released too soon
>>738307591i cant wait for the goyim to fully wake up and we literally just saw the kikes in half in the streets
it was good
Still have my install CDs, that shit was so annoying you had to swap like 7 times and couldn't just leave it because the sections weren't consistent
>>738308043we need paid, first world internet only
>>738307528>go to an internet cafe /LAN party place with 6 friends, intending on shit like halo and battle for middle earth>stuff that only one of us owns but we all like to play>4 of them play WoW like they do at home>the other guy runs into another friend and they play CS:S, which i join for a bit but they're only playing main CTvT mode and i like custom shit>end up playing oblivion because i've seen ads for it and never played a game so open before>friends make fun of me for playing a single player game like it's a sin to not enjoy WoW or competitive FPS to the point of playing them for 6hrs solid
>>738312385Nah, Chinese use VPNs to massive quantities. That's how they are review bombing games like STS2. Ironically online ID for games would be as close to a true region lock as you could get.
>>738312419wowfags have always been like this, they throw a tantrum whenever anyone quits their shitty wageslave prison for greener pastures
>>738307528WoW was never good, you had fun in spite of the game because you were young and doing something with your friends.
>and good operating systemsI'm playing plenty of good games on my Arch Linux GNOME setup
>>738312419>friends make fun of me for playing a single player game like it's a sin to not enjoy WoW or competitive FPSSome things never change huhI got a few retards asking me what is the point of playing SP if I cannot show any of the gear/items to other people
I host my own WoW server and connect to it on my XP PC
If you hate people and like to kill them like me it was good times, now everyone dont care about anything more than raids and esex pathetic shit
>>738307528I remember installing this game on my local LAN café's computers. Took almost the entire god damn day.My reward was one free session of gaming at the café
