People always say that the pinnacle of this game is raiding. That the game only gets going when you hit the level cap, but for me the greatest joy I ever had was leveling my NE warrior. From killing spiders in Shadowglen, then exploring the pathways, moonwells, and dens of Teldrassil/Ashenvale. Arriving in Auberdine for the very first time confronted by the murky, yet still just as beautiful and mysterious woods of Darkshore.
Sometimes I will go to Teldrassil, sit and listen to this wonderful music, and watch the lowbies run around as they begin their adventures. And I remember what it was like to be new and full of wonder. Makes me happy.
Ah yes, it was so magical...everything was 3D, you could turn the mouse around and see everything. You pressed a button to go forward, you didn't click to move. You had story, you had meaningness in quests, you had classes, spells, GRAPHICS unlike anything seen before. It was an amazing experience back then. Going from 2D to 3D like that was just incredible to me. And I couldn't believe it was an MMO too. Yeah no game will ever do that. Unless they can replicate this same feeling with VR :))
I’m 20 and playing wow for the first time now, I kinda wish I played it when I was way younger would have made me feel like I’m straight up a mage merking some Troggs
I have far more memorable moments from video games than real life. I have even been on many great family vacations, and done plenty of things in my life, but for some reason, great moments from video games are what really stick... If I had started during vanilla WoW, the nostalgia would probably bring me to tears :,)
VengefulSage i play and enjoy wow but i doo things in real life too. This way wow is even more amazing cuz you wait with excitement for that early sunday morning whe you play in complete silence :)
+J Soren I would say the Jaina Proudmoore theme is #1, and the Invincible theme, but this is definitely in the top as well. But Jaina Proudmoore is just... godlike...
I remember when you had to click on a flight master in order to have it available. But before you could even ride a ground mount, you would have to literally run all the way across Ashenvale lol good times :) This music reminds me of that.
listening to the wow music without playing the game makes me realize just how much better it is. i can just imagine where i would be and what i would do based on the music and that allows me to day dream for a few minutes and escape the real world for a little while. music has that much power. priceless
Started WoW in 2008. My first Toon was a Nightelf Rogue. Spend about two weeks in Tel'Drassil and Dark Shore before I even got to Ashenvale. The first time I walked into this epic area, a big red message popped up on my screen saying "this is a combat zone" or something like that... and I knew I stepped into a whole other world! I will never forget these first two months playing... and it kept me playing... 'til today... never missed a single day.
I started play vanilla as a 12 year old kid.. And i can say that instead of starting smoking cigarrets, hanging out with the cool lads and drinking beer illegal, i just went home, peaceful and calm logging into the world of warcraft and everytime having the feeling like... Oh god, yes.. This is home, this is where i belong... And hearing this music now really makes me proud of that time of life, i would never take it back, all those adventures and memories while exploring the world is priceless ..
VicariousReality7 haha man, dont worry about that, im currently 24, have lived in canada, sweden, brazil and now im living in Tokyo and have already explored most of the continents of our beautiful beautiful planet, hope you'll have the same ;) peace bro
This music brings back great memories and nostalgic feelings. I remember clearly the first time I heared this music, more then 8 years ago....and the journey my character made while listening to this, it was absolutely magical. Too bad that world is lost now.
more than 15 years after, I created my first character and still lovig this game, this theme was the first that I eared in game and bringsme so many sweet memories
Everytime I get to hear this song I feel a bit like I'm home...I started playing wow with a nightelf hunter...and found my first guild and a lot of new friends when I was in this zone...Even though I'm horde-player now, this song makes me feel comfortable, even now...I love it
this STILL makes the game feel fresh and full of wonder whenever I hear it. It's the first music I heard when I started playing as a nelf druid and then proceeded to become hopelessly addicted to wow.
i remember when i made a trial account and a night elf and was questing and this music came on, i was enchanted from there on it was such a butterfly feeling
21 December 2008 - ohh man... it hurts to think of that time. the nostalgia. a simpler world back then, cooler internet community and awesome time spending in the game...
Night Elves. No matter what anyone says about them, I love them to death. The serentiy of their lands before the burning legion and orcs came was like no other. I for one, would live here if I could choose one place in WoW. As long as this beautiful music piece is in the background of course ;]. This music truly fits well with the lands of the Night Elves--I love it!
Still coming back to this one all the way from when I first came across it in 2012. All the way back then I was already super nostalgic for this music that seemed so long ago. Now here I am nine years after that... 🎶🎶🎶
I dont know....I think after all I really liked the process how a group was formed that took an hour and people going afk. I gave me the time to chat with people in the group and make friends...having good laughs and doing other stuff or exploring. These days, wow is just a mindless loop, over and over again the same thing and people dont say a word against eachother...no more friendship making, no more fun or exploring...wow is dead mates, hehe...its only there in my mind as a memory
This game , this world , this music , everything about world of Warcraft. It always put me somewhere I wanted to be. The beauty and magic of the game . And then my Mac didn't allow it anymore and I was never able to play it again being the helpless teenager I am. Games always put you somewhere when you don't like where your at. And I never forgot about WoW.
the greatest game I've ever played.. the people I met.. the time I spent.. the foes I conqured.. gosh.. I wish I could go back to the first time I saw my NE starting village.. I sat there.. and just thought.. my god.. this is beautiful and amazing.
My first Character. A night elf. Playing through the world with this wonderous music...exploring all these new and wonderful areas. And...who could forget seeing and entering SW for the first time. Honestly There are alot of things I could do to have that feeling back.
gives me goosebumps hearing this again. The best game i ever played was World Of Warcraft... i loved it a little too much.. neglecting others who loved me... almost cost me my marriage.... just hearing this again reminds me of how good this game was... sends chills down my spine...i hear its gone down hill since i last played which was in 2010. Played for a good 4 years. The Music is the best.
People are not sad about, the music itself but the memories it brings, you cant go back to vanilla or play with the people you used to or be in the guild you belonged to. A lot of people have quit WoW and the game has changed so much it looks a lit different than back then.
Those first 40 secodns sum up the feeling Vanilla WoW transmited to me: mistery and mystichism, were everything was new, but also, more rewarding. When players did things for fun, not only if there was a gain in the action (crossroads/astralaan raids or exploration, for example).
I started in vanilla as a night elf hunter XD. When that first part started playing I KNEW right then I loved the game. Being a musician myself the music of games has always been something I payed A LOT of attention to. I havent played WoW for 8 months now. Longest(by 7months) I've ever gone since I started. One day I will return.I used to log in and just ride my ground mount around these old areas to remember the quests I did back when I was first starting, and to help out low level players.
I've always been the same way. The sheer atmosphere in the early days of the game [ and even now, the music alone can set you upon a thought rollercoaster ] has and always will be one of the most nostalgic areas of memory for me. Hearing this music again all I can think of is sitting outside the WSG entrance devotedly grinding honor and competing against comrades for rank in the old system, many years ago. It was such a different time, back then..
please read the latest comment... Simón Salgueiro 2 months ago When WoW was actually fun and "misterious", when you actually had to put some effort on doing things, like travelling (which made every acomplishment feel great), and when people actually explored the world for fun and werent just grinding gear. Ye, i get why Blizzard made everything easier, to get to broader publics and ease the gameplay, but for me, it totally ruined the game. Felt like Blizzard was just serving me soup i could easy swallow after TBC. If you people are nostalgic, theres a private server called emerald dream feenix that runs vanilla wow 100% as it was. And works pretty well. I think they just opened AQ.
Civil DK all private servers suck, just wait for CoreCraft to release, its gonna be released in 2014< 0 bugs blizzlike check their website just google corecraft!
roflman87 What do you feel about CoreCraft now?Instand level 58 really?Makes you feel stupid right.Advertising a server that turned out to be totally crap.
My first char was a night elf hunter back in vanilla. I know I know typical. However I remember getting my pet finally at level 10 and then moving on to the new area and hearing this music play as I sent my pet in and fired off a few shots... man I could almost cry at how amazing that was. I will play WoW again.
I remember when i first saw ashenvale from auberdine. The music, and brilliant transition in treeline to these massive colourful trees was insane. Probobly my best moments in wow in respect to entertainment can be found in those early days.
8 year old me running around on a hunter not knowing anything about this game with headphones on blaring this music in a pitch black room with nothing but the computer screen. For a brief moment i felt truly a part of the game. Greatest. Feeling. Ever.
Games are always so much better the first few days / weeks you play them. This was the music I listened to for a few hours the first time I played WoW. Got a Night Elf Warrior to level 11! Pre-BC!
my first char warrior night elf, i remember when i had 14 years old and and this game was so fantastic magical and my only life. greaat times thanks wow for taking care of my childhood
To everyone wishing to relive this amazing game, head over to nostalrius and relive our childhoods:) At the moment it has a stable 9k people doing what you all speak about on here, join us..
I remember when i first started playing wow, it was truly such an exciting and mysterious world that i could explore, played to my hearts content, still play to this day, ALOT has changed.. but i still think it is still once of the best MMORPG games ever! Lok'tar Ogar!
the music of wow brings memories flooding back. To be a noob 6 years ago running around ashenvale attacking horde players and taking forever to reach level 60. not knowing which zone to go to next, getting really mad when the level 60 rogue in shadowcraft ganked me and wondering when I'd be able to do that to people, too damnit, this game was so much fun.
When I get Cata and start playing Wow again, I'm going to keep a playlist of Pre-cata music to listen to as I do everything. :) (Maybe I will put a few Cata pieces in there, but I will always have the pre-cata stormwind theme!)
I remember Ashenvale, back when I was playing a warlock year 2005-2006. I had just reached level 20 ''DING!'' ''CONGRATS MATE!!'' I, with excitement ran to Stormwind to enter the Slaughtered Lamb where my warlock trainers dwelled. A friend I had met in the game told me that it was time for me to accept the quest for a new demon! ''AWESOME''. Accept the quest, run all the way to ashenvale. Reach Ashenvale, claim the quest item ''Heartswood'' & summon and defeat your demon to control it! Memories
made a nightelf hunter, played a lot with mouth open due to the world, explored with lvl 20 nearly every flypoint on the continents, had fun exploring the hints (airport etc) by myself, was stunned by views and landscapes, had to travel through both of the continents to find pets which could teach me new petskills, sat on beautiful places with friends just talking, was happy like on birthday when i got the first mount, got first time into kara with totally underpowered group... and now...
To this day when I hear the sound effect of an owl fighting or a chattering scorpion fighting, I am emotionally taken back to the earliest days of the WoW beta. At the time I had started both a tauren and a NE at the same time (and eventually ended up leveling them side by side to 60), and the low level mobs you first killed were those owls (ashenvale) and scorpions (durotar).
How can one possibly chose to play Horde after wandering amongst those forests listening to this truly enchanting music? One cannot fathom the decision made by those fools. They shall perish in flames for they have not LISTENED.
This music is absolutely beautiful and I do miss the old days of wow so much even as far as wow has come I would trade it all to be able to go back to the first few months. Everything was so much simpler and the game was truly at it's best then. The nostagia is a little overwhelming :(
Same here, first character was a night elf hunter in Vanilla, had no idea what I was doing, killing grellkins and boars in Teldrassil. The feeling was indescribable. Sad knowing I'll never experience it again :'(
First time entering elven forests and hearing this music I was really impressed and it took me away to some magical world.....it gave me extra joy cutting those tree-s for thrall and the horde :)
I remember when i first tried wow, with the 7 day trial. In the beginning of wotlk. i was a night elf warrior. and i looved the nice forest, the relaxing music, and everything else in teldrasil. when i started wow and got really in to it and when i found out that to level higher i had to get out of teldrasil, i was sad. because i had allmost fallen in love with teldrasil, i remember i often went back to teldrasil and just hang around doing some RP for myself in teldrasil, haha those were days...
this was always my favorite soundtrack i started in 07 i think, from playing runescape and spawned night elf druid and the night elf area blew my mind especially this music. best starting area imo
My greatest vanilla moment was when I hit 24-29 and it had the old structure and landscapings... moving to the center of the map, nearby the night elf tower thingy abit to the east of the middle on the path passing through Ashenvale, climbing in the huge tree and moving out on the branch, see a horde/alliance moving on the ground below.... AMBUSH from the sky!!!!! xD God , all these memories :(
It seems that all the people seeing this video including me get really nostalgic and feel great thinking back about the times we played our first night elf character through these woods. Blizzard made a true masterpiece with WoW, although the expansions are good they lost the magic vanilla WoW has. Beautiful music and the graphics have something special. Epic.
Which lead you to actually get those players to know ... those weren t just some random ppl you got mixed up with to clear a dungeon in 15 min .. it was an potential ingame friend to do more and more things together cause u were dependend on each other and on having contacs like this. THe server became a little town where people just knew each other ... it was great
@MicroPhi I wish I was new again too. That feeling of being new to THIS game is like an addiction. I'd trade my entire experience in WoW since TBC just to go back to buying that WoW copy at Gamestop on Saratoga Ave. Coming straight back to my grandmother's house (who we were staying at temporarily because we sold our house) putting that Disc 1 into my hard drive. Waiting a good half hour for it to install, made my first toon, a male night elf priest. And this music captivated me, SO hard.
The beginning of WoW is my favorite part. I don't give a damn about being weak and powerless. The music... I could stay in north Kalimdor for the rest of my life.
@Brady2k10 I feel the same way too, but when I step back into Teldrassil the memories of when I first started just pour in. The good old days of farming spiders and thinking the fact that I had saved up 10 gold was amazing. The new quest chains in Cataclysm force the player to really get involved in the story line, which is nice... The undead chain was really cool, you should play it. And though the feeling I first had when I started is gone, I still play, I can always go back to Teldrassil.
I remember playing in Vanilla. I made a human warlock and good GOD I HATED it! Leveling was so boring, I quit soon after. Jump to Cataclysm, I got curious, and my boyfriend bought me the game and made me play it and man, they improved questing so much. This time, I made a Night Elf Mage, and I heard this music and now it's forever embedded in my mind. I go back to Teldrassil and I get HUGE nostalgia fever. /endrant
When WoW was actually fun and "misterious", when you actually had to put some effort on doing things, like travelling (which made every acomplishment feel great), and when people actually explored the world for fun and werent just grinding gear.

And works pretty well. I think they just opened AQ.
I agree although I never got to see the more difficult side of the game once I got in depth to the lore I became entranced 8:03 gives me the most nostalgia for a time I didn't see.
when i would go back to Darnassus, this would make me miss those days when i barely began playing WoW and one had to wait like 10min to finish a quest or had to join a group. i agree BabmerChan.
although i am horde now, i started out as a night elf :> i still love this track alot and have trouble killing night elves :p one of the best tracks in game if i may say
En algún momento me gustaría que existiese un bosque como ese, con una música tan hermosa de fondo y con un ambiente tan etéreo... realmente hermoso. Me recuerda mis inicios del juego World of Warcraft hace más de 10 años atrás ❤❤❤
@MicroPhi yea i feel that way too, it was so cool when i first started, i mean it was so exciting gonna go to new zones ive never been too before, new dungeons, quests etc but now ive seen it all, heard it all pretty much done everything. And i wanna feel like i did when i first started my trail on wow, just... words cant describe it, it was beautiful. And we're all so lucky because we all got to experience it, one of the first MMORPG games and we were part of it, thats magical.
People always say that the pinnacle of this game is raiding. That the game only gets going when you hit the level cap, but for me the greatest joy I ever had was leveling my NE warrior.

I just feel like home...
First character was a Night Elf druid, this music takes me way back. 2008-2011, some of the best times I've had playing video games.
Vath121 I feel you man. I'm sure we'd all give anything and everything to go back to those times.
Vath121 2005 reporting here. Nightelf druide, first char :)
@@letsbretzel9515 … :(
I was Tauren Druid
Sometimes I will go to Teldrassil, sit and listen to this wonderful music, and watch the lowbies run around as they begin their adventures. And I remember what it was like to be new and full of wonder. Makes me happy.
>You will never experience WoW again for the first time as a youth
Dewit
Ah yes, it was so magical...everything was 3D, you could turn the mouse around and see everything. You pressed a button to go forward, you didn't click to move.

@@Aulann623 You may get that same sense but 12 years on your are probably no longer a youth. You will be feeling it with the nostalgia of an adult.
I will... After rebith in WoW
I’m 20 and playing wow for the first time now, I kinda wish I played it when I was way younger would have made me feel like I’m straight up a mage merking some Troggs
SO much fucking god damn nostalgia ;w; People say you wasted your life on WoW. These were not wasted years way back when...... ;w; R.I.P. WoW
My mother tells me that same thing. But I wouldn't trade all those years I spent on the game for anything.
evilherodiamondcat jup. i havent played in ages, but this game has some great music indeed :)
I have far more memorable moments from video games than real life. I have even been on many great family vacations, and done plenty of things in my life, but for some reason, great moments from video games are what really stick...
If I had started during vanilla WoW, the nostalgia would probably bring me to tears :,)
To those who say it's wasted, watch a song video "Sacriface" by blAke.
VengefulSage i play and enjoy wow but i doo things in real life too. This way wow is even more amazing cuz you wait with excitement for that early sunday morning whe you play in complete silence :)
All these comments from so many years ago feels like a time capsule
Favourite WoW music! The Night Elf music was the best. Oh how I miss those days, which I could go back :(
8:05 right in my hearth...
gives me goosebumps remembering how amazing everything was for the first time
Possibly the most beautiful song in the history of wow. =)
+J Soren I would say the Jaina Proudmoore theme is #1, and the Invincible theme, but this is definitely in the top as well. But Jaina Proudmoore is just... godlike...

tried to play drunk before - what a trainwreck LOL
went through many packs of cigarettes raiding those instances though
no you didnt

not only the music is awesome, the history is it too

I guess we all understand that! I also been through all that! It´s such a wonderful and magical work what blizzard made in this game.
I wish I could go back and play the old WoW. It was so much fun back then! :(
agreed.

😢 recuerdos que vivirán en nuestro corazón
The good ole days....
I remember running around on my night elf, with this playing in the background.
my first char warrior night elf, i remember when i had 14 years old and and this game was so fantastic magical and my only life. greaat times thanks wow for taking care of my childhood
To everyone wishing to relive this amazing game, head over to nostalrius and relive our childhoods:) At the moment it has a stable 9k people doing what you all speak about on here, join us..
Cuantos recuerdos ....5 años o mas jugando al World. Ahora un descanso viene bien para desconectar.
I remember when i first started playing wow, it was truly such an exciting and mysterious world that i could explore, played to my hearts content, still play to this day, ALOT has changed.. but i still think it is still once of the best MMORPG games ever! Lok'tar Ogar!
the music of wow brings memories flooding back. To be a noob 6 years ago running around ashenvale attacking horde players and taking forever to reach level 60. not knowing which zone to go to next, getting really mad when the level 60 rogue in shadowcraft ganked me and wondering when I'd be able to do that to people, too
damnit, this game was so much fun.
My all time favorite soundtrack of all WoW! Ashenvale, Teldrassil, you will be missed (quit at the end of WotLK)
When I get Cata and start playing Wow again, I'm going to keep a playlist of Pre-cata music to listen to as I do everything. :) (Maybe I will put a few Cata pieces in there, but I will always have the pre-cata stormwind theme!)
I remember Ashenvale, back when I was playing a warlock year 2005-2006. I had just reached level 20 ''DING!'' ''CONGRATS MATE!!'' I, with excitement ran to Stormwind to enter the Slaughtered Lamb where my warlock trainers dwelled. A friend I had met in the game told me that it was time for me to accept the quest for a new demon! ''AWESOME''. Accept the quest, run all the way to ashenvale. Reach Ashenvale, claim the quest item ''Heartswood'' & summon and defeat your demon to control it!
Memories
This music is epic i´ll never forgott it !
Thumbs up for the Vanilla days, when I hear this music i get this homesick warm feeling in my heart and stomach
made a nightelf hunter, played a lot with mouth open due to the world, explored with lvl 20 nearly every flypoint on the continents, had fun exploring the hints (airport etc) by myself, was stunned by views and landscapes, had to travel through both of the continents to find pets which could teach me new petskills, sat on beautiful places with friends just talking, was happy like on birthday when i got the first mount, got first time into kara with totally underpowered group... and now...
To this day when I hear the sound effect of an owl fighting or a chattering scorpion fighting, I am emotionally taken back to the earliest days of the WoW beta. At the time I had started both a tauren and a NE at the same time (and eventually ended up leveling them side by side to 60), and the low level mobs you first killed were those owls (ashenvale) and scorpions (durotar).
How can one possibly chose to play Horde after wandering amongst those forests listening to this truly enchanting music? One cannot fathom the decision made by those fools. They shall perish in flames for they have not LISTENED.
This music is absolutely beautiful and I do miss the old days of wow so much even as far as wow has come I would trade it all to be able to go back to the first few months. Everything was so much simpler and the game was truly at it's best then. The nostagia is a little overwhelming :(
Same here, first character was a night elf hunter in Vanilla, had no idea what I was doing, killing grellkins and boars in Teldrassil.
The feeling was indescribable. Sad knowing I'll never experience it again :'(
First time entering elven forests and hearing this music I was really impressed and it took me away to some magical world.....it gave me extra joy cutting those tree-s for thrall and the horde :)
I remember when i first tried wow, with the 7 day trial. In the beginning of wotlk. i was a night elf warrior. and i looved the nice forest, the relaxing music, and everything else in teldrasil. when i started wow and got really in to it and when i found out that to level higher i had to get out of teldrasil, i was sad. because i had allmost fallen in love with teldrasil, i remember i often went back to teldrasil and just hang around doing some RP for myself in teldrasil, haha those were days...
one of the best tracks in the game :)
I only play The Horde but absolutely love this music. Heard it when we went to raid Darnassus. A masterpiece.
I LOVE this tracks. Bringing back old WoW... Long time ago :)
one of the best blizzard OSTs great composition
Yeah, I remember going out to that night elf island (Shalandis) near the blood elf zone, and I would visit often just to listen to the music =)
this was always my favorite soundtrack i started in 07 i think, from playing runescape and spawned night elf druid and the night elf area blew my mind especially this music. best starting area imo
My greatest vanilla moment was when I hit 24-29 and it had the old structure and landscapings... moving to the center of the map, nearby the night elf tower thingy abit to the east of the middle on the path passing through Ashenvale, climbing in the huge tree and moving out on the branch, see a horde/alliance moving on the ground below.... AMBUSH from the sky!!!!! xD God , all these memories :(
It seems that all the people seeing this video including me get really nostalgic and feel great thinking back about the times we played our first night elf character through these woods.
Blizzard made a true masterpiece with WoW, although the expansions are good they lost the magic vanilla WoW has. Beautiful music and the graphics have something special. Epic.
I am on good side of youtube
LoL.
one of my favorite tunes in the game :)
Which lead you to actually get those players to know ... those weren t just some random ppl you got mixed up with to clear a dungeon in 15 min .. it was an potential ingame friend to do more and more things together cause u were dependend on each other and on having contacs like this. THe server became a little town where people just knew each other ... it was great
Gives me the chills....nice times there :(
This was my running music. Whenever it played, I ran around because it just fit so well.
This brings back memories from when i used to play this game... Ahhh how great the addiction was lol....
Rogue Night Elf between jobs 2006 to 2007 - music slays
@MicroPhi I wish I was new again too. That feeling of being new to THIS game is like an addiction. I'd trade my entire experience in WoW since TBC just to go back to buying that WoW copy at Gamestop on Saratoga Ave. Coming straight back to my grandmother's house (who we were staying at temporarily because we sold our house) putting that Disc 1 into my hard drive. Waiting a good half hour for it to install, made my first toon, a male night elf priest. And this music captivated me, SO hard.
The beginning of WoW is my favorite part. I don't give a damn about being weak and powerless. The music... I could stay in north Kalimdor for the rest of my life.
The song at 4:45 is my favourite. it always came on when i discovered a new area.
@Brady2k10 I feel the same way too, but when I step back into Teldrassil the memories of when I first started just pour in. The good old days of farming spiders and thinking the fact that I had saved up 10 gold was amazing. The new quest chains in Cataclysm force the player to really get involved in the story line, which is nice... The undead chain was really cool, you should play it.
And though the feeling I first had when I started is gone, I still play, I can always go back to Teldrassil.
I remember playing in Vanilla. I made a human warlock and good GOD I HATED it! Leveling was so boring, I quit soon after. Jump to Cataclysm, I got curious, and my boyfriend bought me the game and made me play it and man, they improved questing so much. This time, I made a Night Elf Mage, and I heard this music and now it's forever embedded in my mind. I go back to Teldrassil and I get HUGE nostalgia fever. /endrant
Epic indeed mate. Long live the World of Warcraft
When WoW was actually fun and "misterious", when you actually had to put some effort on doing things, like travelling (which made every acomplishment feel great), and when people actually explored the world for fun and werent just grinding gear. Ye, i get why Blizzard made everything easier, to get to broader publics and ease the gameplay, but for me, it totally ruined the game. Felt like Blizzard was just serving me soup i could easy swallow after TBC. If you people are nostalgic, theres a private server called emerald dream feenix that runs vanilla wow 100% as it was. And works pretty well. I think they just opened AQ.
***** arguably PVP is more complex now though.
Vertalen
HELL NO
I agree although I never got to see the more difficult side of the game once I got in depth to the lore I became entranced 8:03 gives me the most nostalgia for a time I didn't see.
so this what pure bliss sound like
when i would go back to Darnassus, this would make me miss those days when i barely began playing WoW and one had to wait like 10min to finish a quest or had to join a group. i agree BabmerChan.
If you where to walk in a random forest, and find a portal to Darnassus, would you take it?
Without hesitating bro ! :D
***** The dream!
Saga Jonsson hell yeah! I wanna go to the Temple of the Moon and sit there and enjoy the beautiful and enchanting melodies of it.
Fuck yeah real life makes me want to throw up
Definitely
although i am horde now, i started out as a night elf :> i still love this track alot and have trouble killing night elves :p one of the best tracks in game if i may say
I've never played WoW but the music makes me want to
En algún momento me gustaría que existiese un bosque como ese, con una música tan hermosa de fondo y con un ambiente tan etéreo... realmente hermoso. Me recuerda mis inicios del juego World of Warcraft hace más de 10 años atrás ❤❤❤
wow fantastic music! sounds magical and has advnture
Wow, this music is really nice and relaxing. And 7:00 is amazing!
My greatest vanilla moment was when you had to run to the dungeon and find a group on YOUR server.
@MicroPhi yea i feel that way too, it was so cool when i first started, i mean it was so exciting gonna go to new zones ive never been too before, new dungeons, quests etc but now ive seen it all, heard it all pretty much done everything. And i wanna feel like i did when i first started my trail on wow, just... words cant describe it, it was beautiful. And we're all so lucky because we all got to experience it, one of the first MMORPG games and we were part of it, thats magical.
