Druid code

[faye 1]

So, i remember when in vanilla.. we used to have a druid code..

Does anyone even still honor it? I try to still honor it, but looks like its gone on this server. 

Just wondering if people still remember it or honor it..

I do honor the code.

For those of us who didn't play druid in vanilla, what's this code about?

Ofc we honor the code!

[Charistoph 1]

I played in Vanilla, and was a frequent on the forums.  I do not remember this code of which you speak.

[faye 1]

There was deff a code back then, druids didnt kill other druids, well.. mostly atleast..

They would try to avoid it as much as they could, i still honor it today. unless they attack me first

yea noticed that, too bad though..

So... I did some research on 'The Druid Code'.
Back in Vanilla druid vs druid would take forever (or untill one went OOM) so druids decided to make a code to play peacefully with oneanother.
The code eventually extended to druids helping one another out with quests and killing mobs, even cross faction. 
Moonglade was a sacred place and killing a fellow druid there was the ultimate sin.
It seems 'The Druid Code' died with the release of TBC.
Along with TBC came Mangle, which was increadibly overpowered at the time, and druids was not able to kill one another more sufficiently.

However, we're back in vanilla now. Let's bring 'The Druid Code' back to life.

I don't play on pvp, but a lot of players will follow the "red is dead" code.

gank greys, turtle flag for hours in the gulch, hold on to gromsblood til it becomes almost unaffordable for wars.

 

Here's my druid code

[Jyash 5]

 

I too follow the Druid code and vouch to continue to follow it!

Thumbs up!

Following the "code" is great and all, but just don't get upset or annoyed if you are attacked by another druid at some point, even if it's in moonglade (GASP!).

 

If you're on a PvP realm, it WILL happen at some point. And by the rules of the server it's 100% ok.

I generally follow it, and now that it was described I remember it being talked about.

I remember first after Retail Launch, I was talking to the Bear Spirit when my character was wrapped by Roots.  I turned around and a NElf started OOMspamming me.  Fortunately, I was well armored, being a Leatherworker, and more importantly, had gotten the wonderful Cauldron-Stirrer Staff before doing the Bear quest, and taught the NElf the error of not keeping the peace in Moonglade.

You're WRONG !

I'm gladly following the code.

Well, having my drood only at 19, haven't seen that many horde members yet that I'd actually even *try* to attack, but I still can confirm that some druids DO honor the code at Zet'hKur. Was in Lakeshire farming leather and witnessed a skull - level druid beat the crap out of a paladin, salute me, and run away.

Nope, neither me or the pala did anything to provoke the druid; it was just like a traditional "oh look, a gankable lowbie --> a dead lowbie" for the poor pala, and no interest whatsoever to try to kill me.

Totally get the palakilling.

That class i so goddamned annoying. You beat them, they bubble, you beat them again, they bubble. 

[Sbd 3]

damnit, I'll be Edward Norton-shower-raped for this..

I don't initiate on druids.  

Don't tell my parents. I'll be disowned. 

I guess it's because you're all the under-rep'd class.. i dunno.

Let's not. Let's be bigger than that as the mighty druids we are.

[taladril 43]

Moonglade is a place of peace. A rogue tried to gank me once in there and it almost made me cry.

[Outstanding 10]

Yeah, so the code is down to a number of reasons. 

First, and obvious is that for vanilla it's the only class that had a shared and intrinsic background.

Second, Tauren and Night Elves are clearly the best races and should never have been on opposing sides.

Third, we always form the smallest community on both sides, making us more treasured and appreciated.

Fourth, in certain BG's like WSG we rock at certain levels, so saluting each other as we head off to capture flags became a constant theme.

Fifth, hybrids in vanilla are always pushing against the grain. So there is huge sympathy on both sides for our designated Resto role.

I do agree that this goes out the window in TBC.
