I think I'm rolling alliance on your server. I won't give you my name but you'll know who I am soon enough.

Rolling Horde on Golemagg EU
Castia - Troll Shaman
Played WoW for 13 years including classic back in the day but not sure I’ve got the level 60 grind in me these days. Looking forward to it regardless.
I believe the servers will be absolutely battered, don’t expect much in the first 24 hours.

Would anyone be up for trying to get the EU first gank? It would involve one night elf and one troll/orc racing from their starting area as soon as the realms go live towards a middle point which would be in Ashenvale or Darkshore.
Typical Alliance coward. A Nelf Hunter called Legolas I bet.
Seems that everyone is going to pvp servers. Not sure that was the case when game first came out. Guess blizzard have underestimated here.
30 minutes? Christ.
@Damien do we still have the redcafe Discord server?
Yeah, we do.
And when i say that, i look through my Discord, but can't find it.
Either Damien kicked me, or we don't have it anymore
I'm alliance on Zandalar Tribe.
Wave if you see me, gnome mage called Plix
I'll wave just before my triple windfury proc deletes your character.

Looking forward to see an enhancement shaman catching a frost mage

I really have a horrible feeling that 90% of the player base will be Frost Mages, Warriors and Rogues.
There will be about 15 boomkins in the entire world.
I doubt there will be that many warriors. Anyone who played vanilla knows that levelling with a warrior is just so so awful. You can only take on one mob at a time and the class has no inbuilt heals so they have to sit and eat all the time between pulls. I think all classes will be quite popular apart from druids and hunters who just suck in PVE
Anyone rolling on a PVE realm is a coward, by the way.
16 if I decide to dip in. Been a Boomkin since I started in 09.
Hmm me and a few mates have plans to roll on Golemagg but its massively overcrowded
Dunno if its worth sticking it out with the queues or try one of the new servers they added

2009 Boomkins were a different animal to 2005 Boomkins. If you do decide to dip in, watch a video or read a guide because you're going to find it rough going.
I'm jealous that one of the Oceanic servers is called "Bigglesworth". I'd be on that one for sure.
It's worth listening to @duffer on this one even though he is Chelsea scum. You'll find getting gear really hard too if you want to raid. Your damage is so poor that there's no way any sane guild would give the spell damage gear to a druid before all of the other casters.
Stolen from Reddit but thought it was great:
'Twas the night before Classic, I’d tidied the house
And cleaned up my keyboard, then recharged my mouse.
The Red Bull was stored in the coolbox with care,
In hopes that the Launch Day soon would be there.
I sat with the gamers together online,
All trying to find ways to pass lots of time.
With low effort memes, the occasional song,
We refreshed this subreddit all the night long .
All of us waiting for the perfect day,
When Enter World turns red and it’s time to play.
Creating our characters, Alliance and Horde
The waiting was over and what’s our reward?
Queues in the thousands and servers offline!
The new posts on Reddit were far from benign.
When, slowly and surely, we began to log in,
To witness the general chat, what a din!
The Humans and Undead, the Tauren and Trolls,
And Dwarves all appeared to start on their goals.
Such excitable chatter from Orc, Elf and Gnome,
All crying in unison, ‘Yay! We are HOME!’
Reuniting with old friends and making some new,
And let’s not forget foes in PVP too.
In dungeons and raids we will have such a blast,
The wait is soon over, Classic’s here at last!
I’d like to thank Blizzard for making this game,
I loved it back then and will now, just the same.
I wish you success squishing hackers and bugs,
From Nia the Priest, sending kisses and hugs x

There were no boomkins in 2005 right? I played druid from the start and leveling was a pain, worst class to level in vanilla by quite a bit.
Balance druid in chicken form? Yeah they've been around since the original launch.
We had a boomkin in the guild, he tried soooo hard to keep up with the rest of the dps, but could never really do it.
He did better in TBC, but still quite a bit behind.
Waste of raid spot really, but that said, you can clear most content with a boomkin, but not more than one
Extra innervate and combat res

They werent. They got introduced in some patch half way through vanilla as I remember.
Just checked, October 05 was when moonkin form came in.
I was not playing from Vanilla. Came in at TBC but have done a bit of private server stuff.
I think my new guild are getting into the RP a bit...
Cheers for the heads up about Boomers.
In all honesty I doubt I will find time for this as I’m back to Uni next month so it’s best avoided.
I’ve played Druid since I started playing in 09 and mostly Boomkin and as a class I think it’s very difficult to move to a different class as although it’s rarely top of DPS (although feral has had its moments) it’s feels so mobile and has great utilities.
I have a Warrior I’ve played a bit with over the years because it’s so different to all drood flavours but beyond that every other class feels like you can achieve the same experience with a Druid spec.

Amen! A wuss.
That's just the start!
Same realm as me, I guess it's trying to figure out whether or not it's worth the initial pain for a higher chance that the realm will survive any drop off in population. Luckily I don't think we have a lot of EU streamers to worry about.
Goes without saying, just like anyone rolling alliance is a loser.
So we don't have a discord server? Anyone got one that fellow caftards can use?
You playing Horde or Alliance?
edit: nvm just read your next line
Horde ftw!
I've always been a melee guy but i fancy something completely new and im getting tempted to main a priest! I was set on a shaman but I dunno what to do
In preparation I have bought today:
A new keyboard
A microphone
2 litres of red bull
A rack of ribs from m&s (only the finest for P-Ro)
Assortment of snacks
And a fan to keep me cool

I got one of those squishy wrist supports for my keyboard and mouse as I do get sore wrists.
Oh feck. Thats a shout. Online or from the highstreet? Might nip out and get oneI got one of those squishy wrist supports for my keyboard and mouse as I do get sore wrists.
Ps looks like I'm going to be rolling on Gehennas. It has a good alliance horde ballance and loads of people from Frostwhisper are rolling on it.
Got mine off of Amazon (I wanted them to match the colour scheme of my setup!) but you can get them pretty much anywhere.
Will be interested to see how the queue for you is different for me (I'm on a "medium" server and you are on a "full" one).
I've made 3 identical paladins. 2 on full pvp servers and one on your weirdo rppvp server so if they are terrible I might just jump over to yours.
Going to level for a few months on a pve server and then transfer to PvP to avoid the hassle
