Ok, now I'm certain we are talking about the same event.

I've read that line about certain mobs being able to kill you even before I joined beta, and since then I have been looking for ways to die as ghost. The only one I have found atm is fatigue..

Seems those old female human models bear a resemblance to the new blood elves, esp in terms of poses and the way they shift their weight when standing. Same holds true of the human males to a lesser extent (poses and stance that is, the male BE's weighing considerably less of course ;)).

I lol'd.

But honestly, that would have a pretty interesting dynamic. What if Warlocks had a reactive combat rez (ie, not a proactive combat rez like Soulstone) and Druids didn't? Warlocks and Druids are already some of the least played classes, maybe there would be even fewer Druids and more Warlocks?

I seem to recall an old description of the Soulstone being that it killed you if you used it when you were alive, and they were handed out like Healthstones, or something along those lines. But I can't remember exactly.

For a while you could create as many soulstones as you want and hand them out to players so you'd bring a warlock to have 'unlimited continues' when attempting BRD or Baron Rivendare. They returned you with like 2% health and mana.

Then for a short period they were some kind of weird hybrid between that and how they work today, with them working as a wacked out version if combat res of some sort instead of wipe recovery, I can't remember the details though.

Jump off of Teldrassil.

Doesn't kill you, i've done it. However, you can easily go a bit further out into the ocean and die from fatigue.

It used to, at least in beta.

Here's a couple of screenshots I found from late alpha/beta.

MOTD:

Old Character selection screen:

Me and the wife killing stuff (Nature magic has increased!)

Mage invis + Common speech:

Alternating Caps on your name:

I'll see if I can find old alpha screenshots when I get home. I might have some from when the level cap was 15 (and dwarves could be mages).

wish I had my old beta shots too :(

That invisi/common toungue made me think of this one incident where in yell some alliance were asking where X was and this kid (Mage UD) used to yell back that X was under the bridge where he was waiting.
Dead alliance.
There was a bit of ruckus on the forums over this - damn if I could only remember that kids name :(

Tauren Females also used to be about the same height as UD/Orcs as well...damn wish I had my old beta SSs.

I remember being spotted and killed by elite orcs in Stonewatch Keep in Red Ridge as a ghost. Sure made corpse runs annoying.

This was back in the All-Alliance push in March 2004 or something.

yeah the Taurens complained that they didn't have a mount so blizzard took away plainsrunning and gave kodos. I would have played taurens just for plainsrunning.

Kaubel · 09/12/06, 11:39 PM

No, taurens didn't complain. Everyone else did. Our gripe was getting knocked out of PR the instant we took *any* damage.
