Old World of Warcraft screenshot from 2014 when I was in the Kor'Kron Legion RP-PvP guild on Moon Guard. We RPed as Garrosh loyalists and embarked on military campaigns against the Alliance, such as this huge RP-PvP battle that happened in the Arathi Highlands. There were a lot of Horde and Alliance military themed guilds back then and server wide RP events being organized multiple times per week. Then WoD happened and there was a sharp decline in the playerbase and in RP activity.




2014, players waiting on Timeless Isle for the rare Huolon to spawn for his highly coveted Thundering Onyx Serpent mount drop. Timeless Isle was the last time there was a sense of server community. The zone chat was buzzing with activity, people warning each other about PvPers who had sacrificed themselves to Ordos and become enemy to all, people calling out the next rare spawn's timer or asking for help, etc.





2014, shortly after WoD's launch. The expansion had a lot of cut content, most notably the island zone of Faralhon, but there was also another landmass outlined to the Southwest of Draenor (see the map above) that you could actually reach if you used to a glider to survive the fatigue waters.



2023, I joined a new Horde RP guild that was a part of the Horde Vanguard. The Moon Guard RP server had been hosting a cross-faction campaign against the Primalists. The Primalists in our RP felt far more threatening and imposing than they did in Blizzard's content. In our campaign, the Primalists are such a threat that the Horde and Alliance mobilize their armies and fleets to the Dragon Isles.


Each Horde Vanguard campaign beings with the Horde army marching out of Orgrimmar to the docks.



Alliance guilds assembling in Stormwind before sailing out to the campaign.



Horde Vanguard on their ship sailing to the Dragon Isles.



Alliance on their ships.


We encounter turbulent seas and spot storm clouds as we approach the Dragon Isles. We receive word that the Primalists have launched a preemptive strike on our fleet. Lighting strikes down gunships with hundreds of soldiers on board. The coalition's forces break up into multiple groups to respond to the many different crises occurring simultaneously.




Map showing the position of various forces as we landed on D2.

My character joins the D-day landing on the Waking Shores. We trudge inland through the mud under as a pitch black sky punctuated by lightning. We struggle to retain control over our frightened steeds. We stumble upon the dead bodies of our brothers. We become enshrouded in dense mists and can't see more than a few feet in front of us. An unnatural wind sucks the very air out of our throats. We are kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath. Frostbite is setting in on our extremities. A massive storm elemental that we can barely see through the wind and rain manifests before us. We are eviscerated by glass and sand and small rocks. The sheer hurricane force launches even heavy orcs and Tauren back, sending a trail through the mud. We turn around and run for our lives. Squadrons of gyrocopters are hurtling towards the earth and impact into the rocks all around us. A menacing voice booms like thunder through the mountains, mocking the spawn of the Titans...



DMs giving their mission briefings. The most memorable outting was the one where we had to stop a lava slime from advancing towards the encampment. Our weapons either sliced harmlessly through the slime or bounced off of it. People got captured by the slime and were being burned alive. Fun stuff.



Another Horde Vanguard RP event. This time we sailed to Silvermoon City, marched through Eversong Woods and the Plaguelands to defend Lordaeron from Rothide gnolls who were spreading disease and decay. The event where we went into the sewers and then nearly got drowned by a sewage elemental was the most fun.


A few months later, the 10th annual Tournament of Ages on Moon Guard was hosted. Event was pretty packed. I was getting 13 FPS inside the colosseum, and that wasn't even everyone there. There were more people unloaded outside. Outside the colosseum, you would walk 10 feet forward and then suddenly dozens of people would load in front of you.











The last event I was involved in before I unsubbed. Another cross faction campaign set in the Dragon Isles, which was a continuation of the Dragon Isles event from earlier that year. We were hunting an evil Primalist dragon who had escaped from the first event, only for him to acquire a magical artifact that corrupted him with the Void, and then he got killed flying over the Azure Span. He crashed, infesting the forest and making the Western half of the zone into a contaminated wasteland that had to be quarantined. Then the Rothide Gnolles that lived there got corrupted and wiped out the village of Iskaara too. We barely managed to halt the corruption from spreading further while another elite team infiltrated the forest and secured the artifact.

How do you make gifs like that? Or rather, what do you use to do it?

How do you make gifs like that? Or rather, what do you use to do it?

I used OBS to capture video footage and then remux the footage file from MKV to MP4. Then I throw that MP4 into Shotcut to cut stuff, crop, add transitions with other footage, etc. Then I output that as an MP4. If the footage is short enough ie 30 seconds or less, I throw it into the online website ezgif which can turn it into a gif, and then click the optimize button to get a very low file size. Then I download that gif and host it on imgur. If the footage I want to turn into a GIF is longer than 30 seconds, and/or I want to maintain a framerate higher than 10 FPS or a resolution higher than 800 pixels, then I throw it into a program. I used to be using Shotcut to make longer GIFs but those had big file sizes, and then I discovered ScreenToGif which seems to be more efficient. Also, trying to create custom resolutions in Shotcut is a bit difficult and time consuming. But with ScreenToGif, I throw the MP4 into that, enter in the resolution I want, and then save it as FFmpeg lower quality.

Old World of Warcraft

Logging in on day 1 of Classic

RP walking with Reginald Windsor

Dancing and spitting on people who were holding a service for that black streamer who jumped off of a bridge

The first and possibly only siege of Orgrimmar


The day honor was added

We cannot get out.
We cannot get out.
They have taken the bridge and the second hall. Frár & Lóni & Náli fell there bravely while the rest retreated to Mazarbul. We still holding: but hope undying. Óin's party went 5 days ago but today only 4 returned: the pool is up to the wall at Westgate: the watcher in the water took Óin - we cannot get out: the end comes soon we hear drums in the deep. They are coming.

Is it porn??

A cool character

Paying some guy with Thunderfury to show it off to my tank GM

You guys make WoW look kind of neat.

It was a lot of fun. Dad guild died around Sunwell due to officers losing interest as COVID restrictions let up. Was excited for Wrath but the new guild I went with was a bust and I couldn't keep the remnants of the first guild together, so I stopped there. Many adventures were had.

The only guild experience I have with WoW is when my friend made me join a guild a friend of his made called "barely legal" where you weren't supposed to level past 19.

Why do they have to call it that.

Great post. I played a lot of WoW back in the day, and while there were many shit days, the few good ones really made the grind worth it.

It's way past its prime though sadly. Private servers are kinda fun but people feel uppity/tryhard

Not to mention that would require me to do something truly awful interact with other people

Shame the game doesn''t have Raytracing or whatever, maybe I need to cuck out and buy that kids fake RTX Reshade or whatever.

Anyway, prizes for guessing who.

Praise Okran!


Some memey dialogue from Holy Nation bois:

[Red7]

i would like to share my screenies from kenshi but that shit is more hardcore than most of artwork of my fav chinese guro artist that got locked for like 10-20 years cause some feminsit ratted on him about illegal peddling.

[wndrbr]

Alone in the Dark 2024

[Oyster Sauce]

2024

You sure?

[wndrbr]

Yeah it looks like a game from 2012.

[TKVNC]

The based Phoenix, is it not?
Praise Okran!

The very same. The Holy Nation are the most blessed faction in a modern game. Truly.


Okran's hitters in Bast, RIP Samurai bozos.

Kenshi's hardcore, or your version with your mods?

[Red7]

Kenshi's hardcore, or your version with your mods?

both. i used that chinese guy paintings as decorations as well, fit very well for delimbing room

btw the holy nation dialouge i was wondering wht is with that retarded blue pilled writing, like some bitch wrote it who thought calling all women whores is inaccurate or soem shit
then i read the faggot who made game actually let "his" bitch wrote dialouges for that faction. biggest flaw in game imo. all cause dev is a simp.

[Manny V]

The very same. The Holy Nation are the most blessed faction in a modern game. Truly.

It's funny cause you can tell the devs intended to make them this 'heckin ebil mysoginist patriarchy' faction, and all the ledditors demonize em.

Whereas they're actually just a bunch of based bois bringing some order to a chaotic world.

[rusty_shackleford]

It's funny cause you can tell the devs intended to make them this 'heckin ebil mysoginist patriarchy' faction,

Did they?
I never played the game for that long, but I didn't feel like the devs made a political statement in any form.

Quick search of his twitter, it's mostly bare with some anti-police state stuff and a tweet complaining about making it illegal to protest(at the height of the coof). He's from the UK btw.

I mean, i suppose not explicitly.

Just the overall vibe i got, and the fact that the vast majority of the playerbase seems to hate them, virtue signalling about how they 'heckin wiped out the frickin holy nation nazis' in their playthrough etc.

Probably shouldn't assume the dev(forgot it was just 1 guy lol) painted them in a negative light but I feel like they made them somewhat comically xenophobic/sexist to the point he wanted to make them clearly seem like the oppressive religion fanatic faction

Jesus gave me an early visit for Easter in Elden Ring:







Encountered him multiple times while doing co-op with randos, was baller as fuck

Slingin miracles and shit like there's no tomorrow, lighting the path with his radiant light, nuked a boss by going full Jesus dragon mode and turning his head into a dragon's and breathing fire like a b0ss
