When I wanted to stay alone, when I wanted to chill, when I needed some privacy, when I was a bit sad, this was the place I would go to stay. Can you feel the pain and the sadness of a broken race and land in this music, just by listening and going around the town on feet?
I really loved this capital, it was great with the Scyers and Aldor... today it is a ghost town. I miss the days when my guildies and I used to just fool around here, waiting for bgs, Arena or just for a raid to start. Great times. It is sad that with each addon the old cities and areas get abandoned by everyone, just look at Dalaran, it is now a ghost town just like Shattrath became one during wrath
Old WoW was sex, new WoW is porn. Sex is way better, but takes time and investment in yourself and your relationships. Now, think about how many people watching porn every day v. people having sex every day, and think about Blizz's business model. It was inevitable. But it still sucks for people who want wild, memorable lovemaking, when their only option is mindless pleasure-slavery.
agreed! it was lovely to get a small break in shattrath now and then from farming in outland and doing your daily activities. as with tbc, there was ALWAYS something to do :))
Ah the memories, getting world 30th Kil'jaeden. Harvesting terocones around Shattrath. Sigh... Wow was never the same since. I quit after the hardmodes of Ulduar. Wow nostalgia, Best thing ever :)
Aldor 4-ever. Aside from all the time spent here qued for stuff or looking for groups or whatever. I remember during the zombie invasion and people turned all those groups of sparring npc's into zombies. Fun to watch.
Very much agreed. Big part of the reason I wanted to quit was the loss of that open-world feeling. Being able to reach everything by idling in Org, while convenient, ruined the RPG feeling of the game to me.
i know but apparently people still had time to do the stuff they wanted and needed to. it just took longer to get through the content with progression design and not having 100k gold etc. important thing is people had fun and plenty had that when there was 10 mill players in tbc :)
i think the way things are done now compared to then are being dwarfed as in there's a selection menu for almost every option, wanna go to bg, select in ui, wanna go isntance, select in ui, all this just makes you stand idle in town waiting to get teleported. in tbc i had to fly out to every instance and /1 LFM SL 1DPS it's not the same :/
Shadow labs...and The Mechanar...god dammit I hated those 2 places but it was inevitable. Now I do not play anymore and I miss them, I miss the preparation for a dungeon, lfm, attunements etc...it was dedication for sure but how it turned out to be after WOTLK wasnt attractive anymore. Spent my mid 20s in those place. Getting old sure killed this game or this game got old killing itself in the process...
***** Considering so many changes, they could have changed the town totally, specially now... I don't understand why they had to remove portals tho, it's still a capital-sanctuary!
Most likely would have caused a ton of "efficient" players to choose this as capital over another. Just like they removed it in old dalaran with cataclysm to move players to Stormwind and Orgrimmar. If you had the portals in dalaran, you would stick your hearthstone there instead.
Yet i don't like questing and fighting against something that doesn't fit in the lore and is only made up to get an extra expansion pack out of the game. (Sha, Mogu,...)
Best time for this game, from this town right up to Ulduar in WotLK. So many feels...
I still come here and hang out, just to hear this.
Yeah me too. Its my fav city in the game.
yea this place is just unique

walking slow motion too.childhood 😇❤
Shattrath, the long and forgotten city of glory and great times. RIP shatt :(
So sad, yet so soothing at the same time. It follows perfectly the mood set by the music of the surrounding Terokkar Forest.

Afking by the flight master, listening to the 24/7 sparring. 2008, I miss you.
the atmosphere was so chilling

this city is very much alive. Nether wing Drake's and a good reputation grind for the factions.
Aldor 4-ever.
Aside from all the time spent here qued for stuff or looking for groups or whatever. I remember during the zombie invasion and people turned all those groups of sparring npc's into zombies. Fun to watch.
I always liked the very dreaming ambient music i particular in WoW. I think Derek Duke produced those, like the one in Azuremyst and this one
I still go here to this day! Not as much after they took out the Legion Dalaran portal out though... Dangnammit Blizz!
Shattrath felt like an airport - but interesting enough, not in a bad way...
Damn

How many times did you fall off the lift and died? I had fun as a Paladin bubbling up and just jumping off :)
lol i did exactly the same thing, but first taking speed mounting and then jumping off, dismounting immediatly, and bubbling, so funny :P

LF tailor to craft, your nether, 90g
I remember basically selling my soul as a lowbie to have a mage port me to Shatt so I could set my hearthstone there. #annoyinggamemechanics
Was your soul 10g? xD

Scryers for life ;)
Smokeweed D Bear lol you bet!
Scryer or Aldor?
***** What do you mean by "they are gone in cataclysm"? The portals?
Federica Porcheddu Yes? What else did you think?
***** Considering so many changes, they could have changed the town totally, specially now... I don't understand why they had to remove portals tho, it's still a capital-sanctuary!
Federica Porcheddu I agree, the portals would have made this city feel more alive.

very clever.
Even if someone doesn't agree with you, I believe that your comment deserves at least 100 likes:-)
