Want to experience World of Warcraft exactly the way you did when it first came out? Blizzard has started up a new thread tree to find your old friends and guild mates, just ahead of the upcoming release of World of Warcraft Classic. Serving like a multi-branched personals section, the tree serves to find old guildmates from the original vanilla run of WoW, from 2004-2006. All handily linked, you start by choosing whether you were Alliance or Horde, then the type of server you were on--normal, role-play, PvP, or RP/PvP. Within each type of server are listed all the different server names, each linking to its own thread where can post your old character information (no personal information, for safety's sake), what guild you were a part of, and specific people you're looking for, if any. Essentially, it's like posting a missed connection ad, but broken down by faction, server type and realm. If you were an Alliance player looking to reconnect with your roleplaying buddies in Argent Dawn, there's a thread for you.It's all very sweet and wholesome, with people posting the names of all the friends they remember, along with the occasional anecdote. This troll rogue looking to reconnect with an old adversary is lovely. It's an interesting upgrade to an old fashioned idea: using the personals section in the newspaper to find someone. It appears to be just as effective. Part of the problem rests with the users; you have to remember the information. You're much more likely to find the specific friend you want to reconnect with if you can remember your guild name, your character name, race, and class, and their character information. It's easier to remember if these people played a large part in your life, but most posters have forgotten things over the past fifteen years. The threads are semi-successful, with some able to reconnect with old friends. But most server threads have posts in the single digits, their searches unanswered. Finally, to enjoy all the features in the game, players can Buy WOW Classic Gold from rvgm.com at a reasonable price.
