I remember when people would finish their quest in the yeti lair then just sprint out aground s bunch of yetis. Eventually they would aggro leash, but then all aggro to whoever was still around and likely kill them. This was before they made changes to aggro

I will forever remember the night elf starting island. Such a great memory of a young me getting addicted to the most popular mmo at the time.

Tirisfal Glades and Silverpine Forest were always my starting areas (Undead). I loved those areas so much especially coming off the high of WC3. The early years of WoW really were something special.

Tell me about it, I can still remember thinking how am I going to get 100 gold for my first mount! I remember it taking ages back in vanilla not only getting to level to 20 but grinding gold unless you were a high level crafter was such a pain. I was always jealous of druids, eventually made a druid tank for cata.

I grew up playing the original warcraft 1,2, and 3. To actually walk through the dark portal and return to the orcs' homewold was pretty damn epic.
