I was lucky enough to play WoW when it first released. Nothing will ever come close to the experience of Vanilla & the first two expansions. There were no aggregate sites with all the info/strats/drops/... it was pure discovery.

I remember doing Onyxia for the first time with randoms and getting our asses whooped like you wouldn't believe. Then someone told me that Molten Core would soon be released and contain TEN of these bosses back-to-back. While we could scarcely fathom bringing one down.

Suffice to say, our first foray into MC (again with randoms) was... painful. Got our asses whooped again, this time by the trash mobs there.

Ahh, memories...

Yeah it was wild. There were so so many things to discover, just wandering around. I remember getting stuck in the sewers of undercity once. My finest moment 😁.

Lies, there were no randos for any 40m raids, only some zg, later maybe aq20. Winning anything, looting anything was too low chance, compared to so big repair costs and highly chance of just wasting time.

Also limit of 8 debuffs on a boss, bye bye afli warlocks.

Lol there were definitely rando mc raids at the beginning. They weren't very successful mind you, but people did get some purples from trash which were insanely better than any other gear at that point. Eventually they got enough people geared and trained to do the first few bosses. Reaching Raggy was, at that point, only possible for dedicated raid guilds.

Ah, trash mobs, fair, these were there.
