No it is not Nostalgia. It is what we remembered of true WOW pvp. The true war between the Alliance and the Horde. Not this joke of an esport you call arena. That is not PVP. That is inflated dueling for cheap epics.

That was when people PVP'd because it was fun. Not for gear, not for honor, but for the fact that you are running head first into 50+ horde with you 50 alliance buddies. SS and TM raids took place for days on end not because we where grinding for our new staff or dagger.

That was truly MMO pvp. There is nothing massive or epic about arenas. No one is going to write epic poems(lolrp) about kiting someone around a pillar. Why do you think so many people reminisce about these days?

Q u o t e:

Tom Chilton : I'll tell you, it's been a slow evolution. When WoW first came out, we didn't really have any semblance of organized PvP. We had Tarren Mill versus Southshore...

GameSpy: Which was awesome!

Tom Chilton : That's nostalgia speaking! I remember you were interviewing me at E3 a couple years ago and you not thinking that it was so awesome.

When remembering the past it is often a lot easier to remember the good than the bad.
