One-week report of a new player in Nostalrious

by **Drazzal** » Tue Nov 17, 2015 3:01 am

Hello everyone, just wanted to share my first impressions on this server with you and see if anyone else felt the same.

Note: I started playing WoW in BC expansion in private servers, played in WOTLK privates and them a bit on retail Cataclysm. After that I left the game for some years.

The first think that drawed my atention to this server was the high ammount of players, because I love low level battlegrounds and any other social interaction within the game. Also got a nice first impression of the staff by looking at some YouTube videos, it looked quite proffessional. Then I visited the website and got hyped when I saw the timeline and also the plans for a future BC realm. So, basically, I was excited about the idea of experiencing the World of Warcraft content progressively from the beginning.

Finally I installed the game back and created an orc shaman. The early leveling experience (1-16) was amazing, I would always find people to quest with and most of them were very friendly. Basically, the community felt really welcoming to me. I was also happy to see that the auction house was very active and had fair prices, the economy really looked stable.

My first dungeon was Ragefire Chasm, and it was a great experience too. It was very easy to find a group and players worked really well as if they were old players just like me coming back for the nostalgia. Later on I did some battlegrounds in the 10-19 bracket and it was very nice to see that the low level PvP is quite active here, even through I hate twinks.

Conclusion: after this first week here I'm very excited to continue my leveling and engagement with this community, It was, for me, a truly great experience. Thanks for all Nostalrious staff, I'll make sure make a donation soon!
