Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hi

I've recently began playing here at Nostalrius PvE. As of now I'm level 11 and have gone through Elwynn and parts of Westfall and only seen one Copper Vein. And this one Copper Vein disappeared when I approached it, only to re-appear when I walked away from it again. Is there something wrong with the mining nodes, or is it me? I've played this game enough to know that there should be more mining nodes around than what I've seen.
And yes, I'm using "Find Minerals"

Anyone else having this problem?

It's not only you

There is some phasing thingy on nostalrius at some locations so you can see a node/herb that are not really there. You can see it on minimap but it's all a mirage, ooohhhhh...

Many many many many players are gathering ore and herbs also so that's why see so few probably.

Copper and Tin are often in short supply out in the world as they are the starting minerals for players wanting to level mining, I would recommend trying in the off hours of the server, when the population generally dips below 1000 players, to try and get as much as you can, it will take a while, but things speed up once you are able to mine Iron at 125.
