Glad to know that you enjoy the server. You may run into a bugged quest here and there but its easy to use the bugged quest completer at the site :)

Yeah I had to use it for my Voidwalker quest, so I got to learn how to use that tool pretty early :) Its great that this server has it though, instead of most servers where theres nothing at all to do about a bugged quest. If theres a way to apply for a moderator position, I'd absolutely love to be a part of that. I played retail for 6 years, from release until about 4 months into Cata. Had 7 80s and 4 60 twinks by the end of Wrath, and know pretty much all there is to know about this game.

You sir, get a cookie for being a long time retail player like me :P If you ever hit 80 and interested in raids just find me or the other chars in my signature :P

There is a way but you need to have a decent amount of play time on this server. You can read more about it here: http://www.truewow.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=3505

Also, how comes you stopped playing retail after so long?

Bob you need play time like Tuffeyy said plus level 80. Just go to the link he posted for more info :P

I'm actually on my 6th year of WoW now that I think about it. I played retail for a few years but then I decided to stop paying and went to private servers.

I've also have been on this server for a year now as of this month O___O

Ah the gold ol' times of a peak of 50 people online, good times.

I'll check out that link here in a couple minutes :)

I stopped playing retail WoW because it just lost all of its original fun for me. Everything became too much of a rush, the game doesn't focus on actual person to person contact anymore at all with the introduction of cross-server PvP and cross-server LFD, pretty much anything cross-server. The amount of health people have nowadays is ridiculous. Everything is way too balanced, and certain combinations of classes overpower literally everything else. Its just too easy I guess, and too concerned about pleasing the masses, including making a race (goblins) that literally looks like it was taken out of a 5 year old's video game. The game just lost all of its fun for me.

I'm planning on playing here quite a bit, and I'm going to be heavily into PvE and PvP, so expect to see me around :)

are you me? LFD is what ruined WoW for me lol.. blizzard just cares about raids now and even then its stupid how they make a tier of raids and then the next tier makes them obsolete. its almost like an expansion reset every tier

Yeah, its really dumb. I heard Activision stepped in for some of WotLK and then they took over a lot for Cata in cooperation with Blizzard, and if thats true, they ruined two of my favorite games within a 6 month time period :( Modern Warfare 2, and WoW. WoW was the more tragic one for me, but after finding this server I'm not so sad :) I get to play with a steady base of players that all intertwine with each-other and help make this server better, its great.

True, there is LFD, but, theres only one server :) So you're going to be paired with people from this server no matter what.

If you mean dungeon finder, it is since some WotLK patch.
