    Don’t joke about having to be logged in to get rested XP. That’s exactly how I played through my first 30 levels or so! I just presumed that the Zzz icon was only effective if I was in game. So on the nights I wasn’t playing I logged in and left my character sitting on a chair on lying in a bed, then I’d go and do my IRL stuff periodically running back to my PC to tap the keyboard and prevent from getting kicked. Blizzard weren’t going to scupper my chances for that juicy XP bonus. At some point there was a face meets palm moment when I forgot to return to my PC so got kicked and the next day I logged in and noticed that I’d received the same bonus as I was logged in. I suppose all the running up and down stairs to beat Blizzard’s game meant I at least got some exercise out of it. p.s Sorry to all those players who were stuck in a queue whilst I was playing the AFK game.

    A patch note of particular importance to me; "Players can no longer use ghost form as a means to travel to far off locations. Having a spirit healer resurrect you in a graveyard other than the one you appeared at when you died, will always teleport you back to that initial graveyard." I found that out the hard way when I started playing. I was just mining copper up the coast of Durotar, and noticed that the water in the minimap was a different shade of blue going north. So, I swam north. All the way to Azshara! After being murdered by giants, hippogryphs, and a few Naga, I eventually ran into Azuregos. He was neutral, and could be talked to! So I did. He rambled about treasure and how mortals were vermin, and the only conversation option was along the lines of "yeah, and what are you gonna do to stop us?". So, I politely clicked the X to close the dialogue box. He killed me anyway. I run back, res, and immediately die again. That's when I notice that I have a debuff that will kill me whenever I get "near" Azuregos, and learn that the game has an interesting definition of "near". I should probably mention at this point, before I was mining copper up the coast I was mining copper and farming linen cloth off the boars near Razor Hill. I had to pee really badly, so I hearthed back to town to avoid being murdered by vengeful respawning quillboar. Of course, the hearthstone cooldown being one hour at the time... well, that wasn't an option to solve my current predicament of being stuck in a zone 40 levels higher than me with no knowledge of where any towns were. But! I had an idea! What if I were to swim all the way back in ghost form, and speak to the Spirit Healer outside of Orgrimmar! I'd res there, and get back to mining in Durotar without having to corpse crawl through Azshara! So I swam, and swam, and swam back south. After probably five minutes the spirit healer was in sight! I ran up to her, asked her to res me, and she granted my wish! But the cheeky clown teleported me back to Azshara first. A passing Makrura promptly killed me.

    I played the beta from before this patch so I remember the really early, probably late alpha stuff, and then the changes with the 0.6 patch. Rested EXP was like this: well rested: 2x EXP rested: 1.5x EXP normal: 1x EXP fatigued: 0.5x EXP exhausted: 0.25x EXP You had to grind a lot to reach fatigued, but I'd still say it was less time to go from well rested to fatigued than the 8 hours it took to get back up to well rested. You had to be logged out or idling in an inn for 8 hours to get back to well rested from any other rested level, too, which is just a sign of how bad the system worked initially. The game world was way smaller before this patch, so no inns and hearthstones didn't matter, but obviously it was only about 1/3 of the actual vanilla 1-60 world. So adding rested was a good idea, and inns and hearthstones, even if it wasn't done right immediately. BTW, the skill point system was pretty good outside of boosting stats. You got 1 skill point per X amount of normal EXP, I think it was 350 or so, even if you were capped and not gaining levels. It was virtually impossible to run out of skill points for most players as you leveled up and was a pretty good system, just a little rough. When they said they added more weapon types, it wasn't any more than what the current classes can equip (actually, it was less). But more than the initial beta launch. Paladins still could never use daggers, for example. The old talent system was really weird since it worked with points you only got when you leveled up, you couldn't refund stuff, and there were a lot of abilities you just plain shouldn't take. For example, it was actually pretty bad to increase stats, because the costs kept going up, while there were a lot more powerful passives available at higher levels you could purchase with no prereqs. Stuff like Flurry for warriors, or I remember a crazy paladin talent that gave you immunity to disease debuffs. Tanking was also really weird back then. You literally just spammed the Taunt skill, which added threat, and had a few oddball abilities and defensive cooldowns as well. I forget which beta patch it was where they reworked it into the vanilla style of sunder armor for big threat and then spending rage on filler DPS abilities after stacking 5 sunders, but I know it wasn't in the initial beta. I don't think it was in 0.6 either. Oh yeah, the video briefly showed a couple paladin abilities that I want to talk about, because I sorta prefer how it worked compared to vanilla paladin: Holy Strike and Crusader Strike. These were just holy versions of Heroic Strike and Sunder Armor, but because paladins use mana, it was really easy to ramp up a full CS stack, and then your Holy Strike would hit pretty hard. It's not really that exciting, but I think it was a better core to build around paladins than their starting seals and judgements in vanilla. What kinda surprises me is it took so long for them to give mages polymorph. They had sleep in the initial beta, and it might have been 0.6 where they changed sleep to polymorph. That felt like it shoulda been their initial CC spell to me.

    Is true though. I, like MadSeason, came from Star Wars Galaxies to WoW. WoW was so streamlined compared to my experience in SWG, it did feel more casual. SWG was a giant sandbox with no levels, just professions you grinded to make your build. Little to no direction or guidance or hand holding in it. You just spawn into the world and figure it out. With WoW you had a direction or purpose. SWG was just "make of it what you will...out into the world with you.". Unlike MadSeason, I actually had an easy transition into WoW from SWG. Felt much more linear and was more easy to plot your direction/purpose. When I wasn't being serious in SWG, usually I'd be with my friends from school who I got into the game. My best friend at the time, who still is my bestie, would do stuff like roll new characters who were Wookies. We made one big wookie and one short wookie. Then acted like we were brothers and go pick fights with people we clearly couldn't beat. lol Just kinda roleplaying. We'd be like,"Oh, so you think you're tough huh? Alright then, why don't you fight both of us?!". Another kinda "mmo", I guess you could call it that...was Planetside. I was playing SWG and Planetside. Though Planetside was a FPS/Third person shooter. Can see the evolution of it in Planetside 2, but I couldn't get into PS2 as much as I was PS1. PS1 I played for years, but I quit PS2 after a few months or so.

    I can understand what they were going for: creating the first MMO that melded traditional MMO elements with much more casual elements to bring in a larger/new demographic. It obviously worked brilliantly and we saw a cultural and gaming phenomenon. With that said, and as a former Star Wars Galaxies gamer, gosh I wish they had kept the rested system shown in this video. Vanilla WoW had just enough social elements to make communities strong, but SWG was on a completely different level when it came to community. One of the primary reasons SWG had such a strong community was because the game systems forced player interaction. In much the same way that elites and the opposing faction brought players together in WoW; in SWG players had to seek out entertainers (dancers/musicians) to cure their fatigue. They also had to seek out doctors to cure their debuffs and wounds. Forcing players to go to Inns (called the cantina in SWG) made them hubs for player interaction. You had to be there to make your character well enough to adventure again and you soon became a regular at a local cantina and learned individual dancer/entertainer's names. You would eventually befriend these people and use them as your exclusive dancer and paid them for their services. Same goes for your local doctor. Imagine if vanilla WoW had incorporated this rested system to force players to return to inns to become rested; players would spend a lot of time getting to know and talk to each other more while waiting for their rest bar. A living virtual world. This was the beauty of SWG, despite it being a very barren, sandbox world. Obviously, WoW is just a different kind of game. It is a game that took so many good notes from those that came before it, such as SWG and EQ - but it went a different path and opened itself up to a new, younger, casual crowd - which is the beauty of vanilla WoW, to me. The melding of the hardcore MMO gamers, with those that never played a video game before. The hardcore were rushing into Scholomance, UBRS, and MC - while the casual gamer was just reaching level 60. That casual player would walk around Orgrimmar or Ironforge and see a player in full tier 1 from MC raiding and be in complete awe. The casual gamer wondered how could he/she could become that epic as well - and thus their journey to become a raider began. SWG was always my game, and I love how MadSeason brings it up in his videos, vanilla WoW right there behind it on my list. I personally wish WoW had skewed more towards SWG or EQ instead of skewing towards becoming a single player, casual mount/pet/transmog/achievement collection game like current retail. This rested system is one way it could have skewed the other way. Just as MadSeason said in the video: what if 1-60 leveling was a 6 month process where you struggled in the world to reach level cap, only for the next stage of the game to open before you: raiding and endgame BGs? It's very possible (likely) the game that I wished WoW had become wouldn't have been the phenomenon it was in the world, with hardcore systems like that, but my gosh I'd still be playing today if it had. (See you guys in Classic this August)

    Very nicely done. You had me laughing our loud several times. :) I remember the locking picking skills, the boxes still litter the world that you had to use to level up your skill. Pickpocketing was hazardous if they detected you. I use a macro these days to sap them before I pickpocket automatically = problem solved. :) One fun thing I used to do with my Rogue during classic, was I used Shadowstep to get up to the farms behind Ironforge, near Wetlands, the area you weren't supposed to be able to get to. It had a tunnel to nowhere you could use to get into other forbidden areas of IF like Old ironforge. You know that path from Loch Modan to the Wetlands that wound down through the mountains. There was one spot that had Rams and horde ambushes waiting for you. Some would wander way up on the edge of the hill where you could shadowstep behind them to get up there on that plateau. Good times anyhow, I love these videos, such a nostalgia trip! I miss those days.

EQ had no direction at all, no way to teleport to safety unless you were a spellcasting class and only 2 classes got any form of world teleportation, no mounts EVER and NO movement speed buffs except a buff only 3 classes ever got that increased speed by 30% for half an hour (and bards who could go sonic fast but you could only gain the buff if you were parties with them and nearby)... and that's on top of the aforementioned extreme death penalties, extreme difficulty of mobs in general (good luck beating anything at-level solo above level 5 if you're not a pet class or masterfully kiting), extremely slow health/mana regeneration with no food/drink regen like in WoW (spirit would have been an AMAZING stat in that game), extreme faction issues where depending on your race/class/deity/what you've been killing certain NPC's or entire towns would kill you on sight, very few quests that were good for EXP and the grand majority of worthwhile ones being massive epic world-travelling questlines to get something like a decent upgrade for your 30-ish level paladin or whatever.... It was absolutely insane. Even beta WoW was extremely comfortable and casual in comparison, before any of these changes. ....But that's okay. In fact, it's wonderful. EQ has its place in history and it can be fun to go back and touch upon it again, but honestly WoW provided such a more fun, better-paced, less-punishing, balanced experience that I definitely would say I overall enjoyed it more. Now if only it stayed in that sweet spot of ease vs. challenge between vanilla and the end of Wrath and didn't go way too far off the deep end of shallowness... oh well, I guess that's what Classic's for.

    The rested system was never put in place with the whole different states of exp, the way it worked is fairly much like right now, but they'd mention that rested was ''normal exp'' and exhausted was ''.5x exp'' but they only changed it so .5 = normal and normal = rested 2x bonus. They renamed it and people were like WOW THIS IS SO COOl, but it was = in time spent leveling.

    Great video, I've played the "Christmas Alpha" (it's not hard to find) and it was very interesting (boring to anyone not interested in the history of the game). Ironforge was an interesting story, in the Alpha it seems bigger than Stormwind, then it was a placeholder hill in beta, before becoming the somewhat buggy city it was in the early launch. I never was able to bug through to Old Ironforge though. Back in December 2004 I was standing the IF auction house when the entire mountain "blinked" out of existence and I fell to my death. It was hilarious.
