World of Warcraft: Forever

Anyone mind giving me a tldr summary of forever. I pretty much refuse to give board money but a friend playing again and I'm at least curious about some of the setup. It's basically vanilla again like a two years ago but somehow big different? Did they do anything to fix the community aspect and not have bullshit instanced everything and cross server so it's always people you never see again? 40 man raids or this rescaled bs.

It is vanilla/classic with a new jogging simulator tacked on top of it.

Each playstyle (PvP, PvE, RP, RP-PVP) all have their own mega server. But layering means you end up in the same place with never seeing the same person in two different zones. You wouldn't like this version either. Move along.

They swapped to BDF shortly after Nax40 opened up

BDF is where the guild went to die

They added a lot of new dungeons, raids and zones. Redid all the talent trees so all specs seem to be viable now. Added new skills. Upgraded the graphics. New race. Both factions can be sham/pally. Game will never advance to TBC expansion and will stay at lvl 60.

Holy pal get more than spamming big slow light and flash?

I saw some post where there's like level 45 boots that make it so you can't run. But the boots do have decent stats for the level.

Having these fun trash items out there is great IMO.

This is hilariously goofy nonsense.

Yeah. Hyjal was greatness. Furor was still active back then, even though he was a dev. Hell, a majority of the old crew was there. There were a lot of squabbles, but I liked it, and the guild was very good at the time. But some of the people started pushing hard for BDF, and eventually the majority of the guild moved over there. Lots of people weren't PVP based, though. Those that were, loved it, but those that weren't, disliked that they could get attacked while doing the shit they normally did on the regular without any issue. Suddenly, everything was an issue. You would get attacked because you were a big name guild. Everyone trying to prove something. Oh well.
I stayed on Hyjal, joining the #2 guild after everyone left. It was "okay", but I ultimately got bored and ended up quitting the game before the Burning Crusade came out. I stayed off until people were half way through SSC & The Eye, but FoH had really fucked around with the current #1 guild on the server (not the one I joined when FoH left), so they were a no-go for me. I ended up transferring over to a different server anyway, but it was another PVE. It was Area 52, where the #1 guild, Vicarious ended up giving the "rogue bow" to Analogkid during a Sunwell raid, after it was on farm mode. They had a few new hunters with the guild, but they had only been tagged for a week or two, so none of them were given the bow. I ended up staying with the game until Pandora.
I stopped being an end game player at some point (I had too much RL shit going on), and I ended up quitting the game all together during a pickup raid on Deathwing, when my wife went into labor and I had to drive her to the hospital. And that was the end of my WoW career. Good times.

Last Hunter Pet question. I am currently trying to "learn" an ability from a mob, and there are a couple oddities. First is that the pet never uses the ability it has (Dust) even when set to auto-use, it works when I manually use it. Second, how do I know I've learned the ability? Do I have to constantly open the Beast Training UI to see? Reason I ask this is that when I tamed a spider with Bite, it was available after one use and the spider would use it when set to auto-use. So this particular pet is being odd.

You should see a single line in your chat that said "You have learned [Dust]" or whatever. Usually only need the pet to use the ability once or twice before you learn it. I grabbed 3 pets for abilities yesterday and only needed to own them for like a minute each.

Is Goodboy Dindunuffin taken yet?

It was a joke, the guild didn't die until some time in MoP so almost a decade after vanilla and Furor was still active through at least WotLK, don't remember if he was active during Cata and a month or two of MoP was all it took for me to never play the game again.
