i just googled wow vanilla servers and the first one that popped up was a link to 'nostalrius begins'
they have a complete website / forum with step by step instructions on what to do
basically d/l the client files
create a nost account
create a nost playing account
play
the pvp server is about 7 months further along (i think they're almost at the Opening of AQ stage) whilst the pve server only opened about 3 weeks ago so it's still the mad (slow) grind to 60

Might have a look at the weekend mate. Think i'll dabble in an undead rogue PVP.

Cheers for that, might have a mooch and download it, it might remove my vanilla rose tinted glasses!
not SWTOR..as soon as that went 'free to play' or was actually the case 'pay to win' it became a dead duck in my eyes
never played GW2 so cant comment on that

Try playing the expansion before making any judgement. It's not free to play because you have to be a sub to play the expansion also.
Subscriptions are up 45% since the release
SWTOR is at 2.2 million and rising, WoW is at 5.5 million and declining..

ok, will give it another try
tried it on release, played for about 3 weeks and must have tried it for about a fortnight every 6 months or so since then
i do the starting areas (and enjoy them) and then just go 'meh' as soon as they're finished

The biggest improvement they made is you can get 1-55 just by doing the class storyline. The downside is you need to actually buy the 55-60 expansion if you choose not to make the level 60 boost.
well i tried and it remembered my user name on the login page but neither of my usual passwords worked, and no email sent to either of my email addys when i click on the recover password.
will give it to the weekend and then try again afresh by subbing for a month or 2

The biggest standout playing SWTOR again so far is the reviews which said "Why didn't they do this at launch?!" and I totally agree with them.
The biggest change for me is you can queue for any Dungeon at any level, if there's a level difference everyone gets boosted upto the person with the highest level.
The Dungeon's with the massive storylines (such as the first and last one) now have a solo mode so you can go through the campaign without having to group with a person like a proper Bioware game is.
It's these little things which tell you "If they did this 2 years ago this game could of went somewhere" but with the Star Wars movie out next month everyone's getting a feel for the game again, they might of just salvaged it but we'll see...... time will tell.

well here are my thoughts so far (as a f2p, was a subscriber at launch and also tried f2p when hutt cartels came out)
am level 16 after doing tython and the esseles dungeon so the levelling speed seems to be a little quicker than i remember
tython also was super easy compared to what i remember, never came close to dying and it only became even more ridiculous when i got t7
biggest problem tho is too many abilities, and not enough action bars
oh, and i can only learn 1 crew skill, which is useless to be honest

You can learn 2 as f2p? 2 gathering atleast..
I'm on Red Cresecent server playing Empire, but I'll make a Republic aswell. Tts the most populace PvE server.. Forgot what it feels like having your capital city busy on a MMO
But aye the questing experience is so much easier to the point you can solo "Heroic 2+" missions because all companions can now be a tank/healer/dps.. It's good for lower level people but it's a bit too easy.
