Cutted the ponytail, shaved the neckbeard...

.... ripped off the fedora, crushed the Doritos, spilled the Gatorade.
Heck, I've been here since the Day 1.
I've been there for....
Forums full of hype
Opening between crashes
Krom, Tauren Warrior birth
Mass Level 1 Refugees running to Mulgore, other beginning zones being way too much overcrowded
Server population starting average 3000 and winning hundreds and hundreds days after days
30 min waiting queues to kill any poor low-level npc
Barrens chat. Vanilla WoW isn't Vanilla WoW without Barrens chat.
Jimbopete hilarious videos, who left imo way too soon (TM)
WhiteKidney First World 59 against Komon, Sol and numerous other competitors
Bugged Hunter's pets
Gold abuse cases = 100% Mounts on 3st week = Massive bans
Early epic average Level 30 Raid on Ironforge, running across all the lands only to get #lolstomped by a few Elite 60 Guards and wisely placed Alliance's AOEs.
GRIZZLY and the Great Liberty of Speech Regulation
NOPE's full of FUN and competitive 24h/24 battlegrounds
Ogtucker, loved and beloveable Nostalrius international superstar
Am not sure about this, but I think hey guys, Andross was also here
Nostalrius and the Great Mistery of the Missing Boots (TM)
NOPE and controversial Silithus mining skills
GRIZZLY and questionable Ragnaros killing skills
Dank memes, of course
Nain aka the Infamous Troll Master, Wielder of the Tickets, Flamer of the World. His epitaph spammed in chat by its guildies was one of the most hilarious things I've ever read in my many WoW played years.
The Rogue dude who multiplicated epic dagguers looted from bugged lockpicking chests, got insanely rich, braggued about it on the /World then got cluelessly #BanHammered
Robotron the secret cattle lover
Vorolishov's weekly genocides
The GM's Secret Population Regulation Weapon (you get a ban, he gets a ban, everybody gets a ban !!)
First Raids and World Bosses Downs
The Chinese Plague Invasion addon (TM)
*Lagging Intensifies*
The Great Bugged Herbs Nodes Population Regulation
Raiding and/or PVPing and having insane fun (translate to "boring endless grind" may apply)
Being R10, exalted with all BG's reputations, with some raids epics and retiring for a while
...
(we were supposed to have fun times with grill at this time so you can guess she must be very pissed)

Buck Flizzard
Logging in for the 10 last minutes with my brothers in arms on the roof of Orgrimmar's Bank
Krom dies.
Most of you probably don't remember me probably because I'm pretty retarded in game but also irl, indeed, but also very discreet and terribly shy. Or it must be for my terrible grammar
For over a year, Nostalrius gave me (and like I can guess a lot of other akward people) a home, a world where you can just put away your daily problems and have fun, enjoy, finally be yourself.
For some it's just a game, but for certain sensitive people you know it's a bit more than that.
My Nostalrius was what made me happy to finish my everyday chores.
My Krom was a part of me.
In the end, I hope I could there have given a bit of old memories to the Nostalrius veterans, those who where like me for the first day, there like me for the last day, and deeply enjoyed every second in between.
Back to real life, now.
Lot of Love,
Krom
