I hopped on 5 minutes before they were supposed to go live and was 4000 in queue on Grobb. Currently about 460.


wow they really did re-create the experience of vanilla launch to the very last detail !!!


this is way smoother.

original was mostly just people naked dancing on buildings and fences until the server crashed over and over.

You know what would have been freaking awesome? If I had known the launch day was today. Everything I read everywhere said "August 27th." So I was planning to be ready tomorrow. Blizzard always does stuff on Tuesday, after all!

Literally every source I looked at ONLY said August 27th. There were no disclaimers anywhere.

And now I look and they all say, "Oh, but that's 0000 GMT on the 27th, and so it's the 26th in America." WTF.

well, whatever, queue is down to 600. Going live on Twitch, if anyone sees this a little later on and wants to watch. Still think sleeping off this initial period might be the correct play, though.

Jumped into the Westfall server to do some test runs as random race/classes. Played a Human Warlock, was actually pretty fun, though it was mostly because of the high level of activity. Between the chat to the hordes of people to the random lines for certain mobs to the slower, more methodical pace of the game, it was a more positive experience than I expected.

Now I'm not sure which race I should pick for my Priest. Considering Troll.

At first it was tough to get mob kills. Basically had to find the most remote spawn and just camp it.

Eventually around level 8 is when I stopped feeling like I was constantly racing to tag every single kill, but there was still someone in the vicinity most of the time.

I hit 10, did the typical first trip to the capital stuff, and went on into Loch Modan. When I got there I did a /who and it only hit 7 results. That's so wild. Being on the cutting edge of a realm being born like that. Crazy stuff! Also crazy cool.

loved the /1 chat last night. love getting buffs by people passing by, etc

I signed up for 3 months, figure I'll pop on casually and probably get to like level 30 by Christmas and quit.

After I logged out past night, most of the realm list said low or medium, and I tried logging into one just out of curiosity. Even the medium/low realms had queues to get in, so I'm not sure what's up with that.

OK then 2 mins later I immediately noticed a brand new pve eastern time server and it had a 2 minute queue. So then I played for 4 hours straight.

I had a super good time!!!! It's exactly vanilla wow as I remember it. It's so hard. And that difficulty feels so much more rewarding.

I was able to sign on to Grobb around 5 last night, kept myself AFK through dinner so I could do a few quests afterwards. I had a half hour later to kill so I had to play on whatever other server I could.

I find myself doing what I did back in 04, and just 'wasting' time exploring. Of all the things I wasn't really prepared for, the lack of any clue where trainers/etc. are is the biggest thing. It's easy enough to look this stuff up or talk to a guard. But if you're like me and you hate asking for directions, well... :)

The world just feels so large and full of things to look at

Like I got to the Barrens and there was a little orc girl running around in the middle of nowhere picking up rocks and talking to herself. she's just there, there's no quest related to her or her family. it's just a thing happening that you see

then i went up this mountain and suddenly i was in hell, there was this red mist everywhere as i fought orc cultists. for some reason this mountaintop is hell

then you come back down and it's the barrens

plus the music is really good. is this background music even in retail anymore?

i just love walking around this world

definitely recommend buying a lesser magic wand at 5 and a greater magic wand at lvl 13 for any caster - huge boost over your spells and any other wand you might find.

they are created by enchanters so you can find them in the AH or people spamming to sell them in trade chat. A greater magic wand can be found for under 20 silver.

Hunter for expediency, though I kinda regret that. I was clearly never winning the race.

I should probably update.

When the new servers went up Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, I woke up and started anew there. I'm on Azuresong now, and leveling a priest. At first, there were no level rushers, so I was catching up to the leader pretty quickly, but now there's a hunter pushing the pace so I doubt I'm going to hit 60 first there since I didn't do the same.

Anyway, currently level 25 on effectively 2 days real time. (About 26 hours /played.)
