Molten-Wow 2010-2013 19/70 Twink
I read that Warmane is what used to be the Molten-Wow server I used to twink on from 2010 to 2013ish? I doubt anyone from back then are around anymore, but I happened to stumble on a few screenshots I had from then. I remember finding out about the fish feast buff working on 19s if an 80 dropped it and feeding premade groups with <Steamroller>. Back then there was a 19 rogue named Pitchblack w cheesed 70 donation gear that no one could get anymore that would just dust our entire team and because of him the 19 scene then was a little desperate. Not many twinks were geared and even if they were, when Pitchblack popped in the BG it didnt matter cause he'd one shot you, and if you teamed up on him he had 3k hp you had to eat through faster than he could pop your team 1 by 1. I made it my mission to take this guy down. I started spamming trade with our twink guild advertisements, posting in the forums, teaching guildies and new recruits what gear was BiS, what mats to farm for speed pots, getting that 3 stack potion in nagrand, the valentine perfume/cologne, anything i could find that would work at 19. Over time we grew in size became more coordinated. I remember at one point making connections w some of the alliance 19s and when Pitchblack started popping up in the BG we'd have the alliance all que in with him then leave once the BG started so he'd have as few teammates as possible while our side would all focus on him and try to CC him w pets and whatever else we had until eventually we could consistently take him down. Eventually I was able to talk the GMs into force leveling him to 35. They would refuse for some reason I cant remember for the longest time. After he was gone the Twink community started to thrive with constant full, geared out 10v10 premades for hours everyday. We almost fell apart when they changed our realm Frostwolf into a cata realm i think and they were only offering free transfers to other WoTLK server, Lordaeron for characters level 20+. After spamming the devs constantly asking em to lower it to 19 they finally dropped it to 19 we lost a bunch of people who leveled their twinks to 20 for the transfer and moved on to other brackets but the 19 scene survived. Sadly though, by the time they did lower the transfer level requirement to 19 I had already leveled my twink to 20 and transfered over, not seeing the devs budging and not wanting to lose the progress I made because I was also grinding out all the achievements I could try to get at 19 and was around 1-1.5k achievement points I think at the time. Molten-WoWs 19 bracket overcame Pitchblack and survived the looming deletion coming w Cata and would go on to grow at their new home on Lordaeron, just this time without me. That is... Till the servers got nuked or whatever happened.
Before leaving Molten, but after losing my 19 baby I would go on to the 70 twink bracket as an Enhance Shaman and absolutely deleting fools with Stormstrike, and Tanking 70 raids on my 70 Prot Pally. That's how I found out if we went to SSC and killed Morogrim Tidewalker, it would completely crash the entire server for some reason. So, as one would, we'd raid SSC weekly every week from then on.
Sorry for the long winded post, I was feeling a little nostalgic.
How's the 19 bracket now here on Warmane?
