Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

This suggestion is coming from the PvE server but might be helpful for the PvP server as well.

The thread title bascically says it all, it would be great if everyone auto-joined the LookingForGroup channel when logging in to their character.

Why? Well most people don't know the channel hence won't use it. At least on the PvE server it's like that, if you want to find a group for a dungeon you have to join World channel or stay in a capital city. But there's also a lot of crap going on (sometimes) in World, which I'd rather not read.

So at the moment I only /join World when I'm looking actively for a group. In my opinion it would make finding groups a lot easier, since everyone is on the same channel. Even people that didn't know the channel before or didn't even know that world channel existed.

Thanks

that would be great, i use call to arms to broadcast lfg.

i think this would be a good idea as well as encouraging using something like CTA instead of spamming the channel every 10 seconds

Or they could make it so the meeting stones were actually useful. Just a thought.

I would like that but people would rant about it not being blizzlike cuz they weren't working in classic either.

Good suggestion

This is just showing how much lack of knowledge overall population have regarding Vanilla and clearly none of those have play vanilla (only fake actors).

Meeting Stones
Meeting Stones are located outside of each dungeon to help players find a group to adventure with in the dungeon. The meeting stone will try to find you a viable five-person group by looking for a tank, a healer, and so on. As time passes and you are unable to find a group, the meeting stone will become less picky about who it groups you with.

-Meeting Stones have had their rules for what players are grouped with what other players relaxed. This means groups who use meeting stones (or innkeepers) should have their groups formed much more quickly than they were previously.

-Meeting Stones
.A number of miscellaneous improvements have been made that should allow for better group forming when using the meeting stones.
.You will no longer be kicked from the meeting stone queue when a player declines a group invite or when inviting someone that is already in a group.
.You will now be informed that you have left the meeting stone queue when the group leader logs out.
.Tanks and Healers will now be immediately added to the group by the meeting stone when they are the 5th member of the group.
.You can now be added to a group by the meeting stone when that group contains characters that have disconnected.

Meeting Stones was changed during TBC in order to Summon People.
Meeting Stones in Vanilla was used as a tool to Looking for Group.

^^^^ Good so maybe they will work on Nost too in the future? For reference I did play WoW from release start on EU server Deathwing, but it's so long ago I forgot many things. Now that you mention it I do you remember that you could use those stones to summon someone, just like a warlock does. I don't remember using them to find a group tough.

No you could not summon , they was just to queue for group , and later leader get automatic inviting random sign people on their spec.

Nobody was summoned, it was just "looking for group" automatic based on queues at the stone.

There was also level range for people that want to queue . (higher and lower was not able to queue for group).
