You mean Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor? Kalimdor is part of Azeroth. That's what the planet is called.

I guess, for some reasons I got over Southshore and remembered the epic battle I had with my sons by my side and how much we laugh. LFD changed everything, no need to visit the world.

AV!!! Just reminded me pizza night with the kids and AV all night long. Blizz should read our posts.

Remember the BIG SWIM to Westfall for nightelf level 6 who wants to go to SW for leveling.

To be fair, I thought Eastern Kingdoms was called Azeroth for a long time, too. The original cinematic movie certainly didn't help things.

That thing is still so epic.

Yeah and unfortunately people building groups has been replaced by 300% more trolling. Don't get me wrong, I like the LFD tool and heirlooms. I feel like giving us only a bonus to quest xp (not monster kills) and limiting the daily usage of the dungeon finder would have kept the world much more alive. I love rolling alts and it's a bit sad to level up 10-15 times without seeing one other person. No allies to fight, no one to group up with for a quest real quick.. That's what I really miss. I miss people actually going out into the world on foot to do things. Coming from FFXI previously, this is especially ****** for me. I remember back in Vanilla and BC there were tons of people out leveling and questing. Even in the beginning of Wrath I still ran into many people, allies and horde, while out leveling in places like STV and Ashenvale. I truly miss that and I wish there were some way for Blizzard to encourage players to be out doing things again. After an entire redesign of Azeroth though, I'm not sure what else they could do. :(

Playing on a PvE server meant never having to deal with that last part.

Getting fear bombed by the gargoyles and pulling other packs only meant that your group was either taking risks by not clearing some packs or simply was not pulling the enemies back far enough. Still, some of my favorite memories of vanilla WoW are of the times when that precise thing happened and we adapted and survived.

And if we're talking about real fun, 45 minute Baron runs were awesome, especially when the your group was in mostly blues with only a mere couple raid epics. Fun that would not be seen again until the ZA bear runs, IMO.

Also, the latest Nerf Now! being about this very subject makes me think it would be pretty cool if the author was a poster or lurker here.

This is just personal speculation, but I suspect that it was called Kalimdor by the older races(Night Elves, Trolls) and that some of the younger ones(humans, dwarves, etc) are the ones who began to call it Azeroth, having never learned the old name for it.

Speaking of using ZAM like Twitter, I got my albino drake on Popina today!

You can't make comments like those when I'm drinking coffee.. you just can't.
Now I have to clean this mess up.

Rawdeal, we need to sit down and have a chat. The reason Smunks comment was amusing was when you have a mouth full of liquid and read something really funny it tends to get all over what you are looking at. Vomit doesn't work quite like that. I have yet to see someone find something so funny they threw up all over their computer when they read / saw it.


Whew, glad we had that talk.

It feels like this thread is going in circles.
