Well, WoW Rebirth works fine on this laptop. I forgot how little demanding that stuff was.

So, Codex group?

I recently did a leveling test character just to prove my point that Blizzard failed utterly with the rebuild of the old zones when it comes to plain pacing. The result was that I had to start skipping a lot of content just to keep up with the target level of the zone. Half of Teldrassil was left undone. Many bigger quest lines in Darkshore were left without touch and more than half of Ashenvale before I already outleveled the zone.
To be fair, you never outlevel the next zone (without heirlooms, obv.), so the problem is not that prominent. As a matter of fact, in the last few days I got a level 52 undead mage into the Swamp of Sorrows who has been completely following the questline in the Eastern Kingdoms: I have done all non-group quests in each area, except I moved to Badlands as soon as I was able since I had the Eastern Plaguelands quest achievement from my main char. As a rule of thumb, I have always outleveled the current area by 2-3 levels, but that number has been steadily decreasing and by level 50+ you get to the next area at the ideal level.

The site page is dead for me at least, does sound fun though, might give it a try. So alliance it is? Gonna roll a nelf rogue for that extra stealth level in world pvp, or maybe dwarf stone form is pretty amazing for them. It is a pvp server right? Anything else is for fags after all. Any way is there a link to a client download for the correct version, and if any one got the server url?

The main page sometimes dies due to some silly bug regarding live updates of Horde/Alliance ratios that's tied to server. All the sub-pages work and if you use www.therebirth.net/PlayNow you should be able to bypass it.

As for grouping up and such, my characters are the following, all Alliance:

Mains
60 Wilian - Paladin
60 Ariet - Rogue
60 Shaimy - Warrior
Alts
32 Mollamaija - Priest
28 Eleriel - Hunter
24 Fizzlewiz - Mage
6 Furimalf - Druid

Can help out with any of them

I wasn't around for the olden days, but when I played during Cata the game was a series of "do all quest in an area, be high enough to continue in the next area" over and over again: no need for grinding extra levels all the way up to 60 and I thought that it was fairly well balanced. But then I hit Outlands, and good lord those quests were horrible. Gather 12 vulture steaks, except only 1/5th of all vultures dropped steaks. Fuck that quest and all quests like them. When I hit 70 and went to Northrend that got a bit better. Was it really that bad in Vanilla?

But I agree that the journey is the best thing about these kinds of games: I have fond memories of getting my little Gnome Warrior to what he is now. I recall doing a quest that would get me out of the Wetlands where I fought against a large number of evil Dwarves. During the fight with the boss of that quest, a Blood Elf player landed on a pillar of a nearby bridge and watched me fight. When I was done I saluted the dude (for not ganking me), he nodded in return and we both went our own ways. That felt good, you know?

When I was first playing with my dwarven hunter in vanilla days I saw an undead mage who was "??" in Arathi Highlands. He just laughed like a maniac, sheeped one of the raptors attacking me and farewelled with a /moon. Those kind of "meetings" really felt good back then.

As I said in the other thread:

If you want to play on a vanilla server I'd honestly recommend Emerald Dream as it is extremely stable and has a very large and active population. You will find groups for every instance and raid there is and will encounter other players in all zones and you've got a working and active Auction House.

Seriously, just look at these numbers:

Rebirth: A bit better scripted, a few less bugs. Unfortunately the population is a sad joke. Logged in right now, there are 90 players online (horde).

Emerald Dream: A bit more buggy yet still very stable. The population goes into the thousands.

Both servers have a dedicated dev team constantly working on it and are providing the classic experience. I prefer Emerald Dream because of the playerbase, but that's really up to you.

Don't listen to the fanboys, both servers are fine and each has it's problems.

Made that thread for that kind of discussion with some links: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/wow-rebirth-a-vanilla-private-server.89161/

You'll be also able to buy level 90s from the shop. It's not yet written in stone but 99% probability for it happening.

As much fun as blackrock depths was when the level cap was 55 in beta, I can't imagine playing on a vanilla server unless I was given a level 60 character to start with and they had a server-wide guild capable of putting together enough people for a raid.

I miss some of the vanilla mechanics (innervate, healing rotations, choosing talents that don't clip more powerful debuffs) but not enough to bleed for them.

Got a chuckle out of the inclusion of the foxtail stat. The 90 boost is on the PTR, also some mention of veteran's rewards as well

Edit : Ah ok, it's a boost to professions to 600
