World of Warcraft: Classic

Our RFK run had a story to it that included some silly pvp shenanigans just getting there. In retail, that story would have consisted of pressing a button, followed by silence.

I did the same trek two days ago, and it worked. The trick is not to die to fatigue, but to drown when the zone in the upper right corner says "Dun Morogh" even when you are on the other side of the mountains. Notice how it's done here:

Yup, I've had like 10 experiences/moments like that since launch that help create a story. That's why it's so great to me - we are the makers of the "story" of our gaming experience in classic. It was lost a long the way, but going through it again it's just as neat and fulfilling as it was in 2004. Having a ball
My wife is starting to slightly get annoyed though haha and I'm not even half way there. My game time will slow down a ton next week so trying to get 40 before I have to be an adult again

It's "Make Azeroth Great Again" and it's from Esfand's guild if I remember correctly. Pretty sure he's not what you think he is.
Yes, as long as they themselves are on a different layer. Blizz claimed they added an increasing timer each time you switch layers but so far I haven’t seen that. I’m 42 atm and have hopped 3-4 layers in a row for certain quests and to grab rare mobs that have static spawn locations.

How do you know if someone's in another layer and how exactly do you know what you're getting? What if someone just killed that spawn on another layer?

BTW, for people wanting to queue early:
If I'm on the road or have to drive home and want to queue early, I'll just tether my laptop to my smartphone and hop in the queue.
Once I get home and I login, I'll run around for a minute, then I'll disconnect WiFi on my laptop. As soon as battle.net disconnects, I'll go downstairs to my desktop and log into battle.net there.
I immediately skip the queue and am in the game from my desktop.

Trial and error. I’m on one of the smaller originally announced servers and there’s only like 8-10 people higher than me, so most out-of-the-way rares haven’t been killed, or maybe were only killed on one layer. I ask my guild for invites when I’m trying to switch layers and if it’s successful, it looks like every mob and corpse near you despawns and respawns.
For instance, the first time I got to northern STV, did some of the quests, and was ready to move on, I took a detour into duskwood and cleared the Defias Enchanter spawns in the southwest farm. Rather than wait 5 minutes for the ~4 mobs to respawn I hopped into a new layer. I rotated between the same three guildies groups and got my Robe of Arcana recipe in like 10 minutes, rather than an hour or longer it would have taken normally (barring extremely good luck) with their 2% drop chance. I’ve sold about 15 robes so far at 2.5g each and this weekend is when a shitload of warlocks are going to hit 30 so the demand is going to spike hard. Cost to make the robes is going to continue to drop too as the AH gets more and more silk and spider’s silk listed. Easy money.

Did a BFD run with Hodj, was pretty good until the PUGs got overconfident from success so far. Wiped twice because they insisted on engaging every single group by rushing in, and then couldn't kill runners in time for adds to agro. Hodj very clearly warned them to stop this or he'll disband the group, which of course had the expected results. Not only did they get angry, they also did the same shit 5 minutes later again. Right outside the door to Lorgus Jett the warrior goes right, the hunter goes left, both agro something. If th
e hunter had agrod 3 instead of just a single patrol, we would have wiped right there.
Hodj does his thing and gone is the group. However they reform and somehow we stay in the instance. So we somehow kill Jett, but then one guy runs in and actives ALL FOUR CANDLES AT ONCE. We wipe, but through serious pathing exploitation we w
hittle down the mess and engage Aku'mei.
And here the Warrior presses BLOOD FURY, doesn't get healed enough anymore and dies. Game over, trash has respawned.

That’s why you don’t pug dungeons. They are stupidly easy if the tank is appropriately leveled and pulls at a good rate and the dps don’t do stupid shit but in a pickup anything goes.
