I remember in wotlk a GM had frostmourne equipped, and some linked it in trade chat saying it dropped. Trade chat erupted, it was awesome.
FINIKY wholesome, made me grin
You could also just go to Wowhead and find it there and rip the link if you wanted to.
Incidents like this is probably why GMs aren't allowed to show themselves in the world anymore.
You use to be able to equip the frostmourne if you had a quest were you are turned into the lich king but due to the a quest glitch were you would fight the lich king and become the lich king it was taken out of the game. Like the frostmoune the ashbringer had a quest with it. But a gm took my ashbringer away said it was a illegal weapon in game and the quest was suppose to be removed. Plus I couldn't unequipped it. Thats what I get for installing retail LOL.
Magic Medic they hide amongst us as equals now. They stand watch over Azeroth until the day they are called to bring the end to our world... not even the old gods can stop them
“Frostmourne was a bit too iconic in the lore to be wielded by the average player.”
*inb4 every ret pally got a free Ashbringer during legion*
All that artifact weapons was just a trap to a shitty grinding questline. Never gonna play this game again.
@@bruhlee700 i miss iconic weapons without titanforge rng bs.
Loved my tyranical beheader in Wotlk.
Still, i thought the artifacts where pretty okay-sh during legion. Hwart of azaroth was complete bs though
@@bruhlee700 okay?
@@bruhlee700 Stop watching videos about it then, Fagaroni pizza.
@@bruhlee700 just dont talk sh1t about frostmourne even if it was pretty sh1tty the LORE AND STORY behind it is more WAY more precious
I was lucky enough to be a GM for about 3 and a half years with Blizzard and I'll tell you. We hardly ever went in-game to interact with players. It was mostly only to catch botters and griefers. People who'd exploit the game to do stuff and verify it. For all the mystery and reverence placed on us we didn't really get up to much. Heck GM island was just a place to pop into world at so people wouldn't immediately see you doing so and see you activating all your god powers. Now it's all automated and most of us original GMs were let go on 2012. I was never so heartbroken over the loss of a job. 1.5 years from getting my sword too.
At least I have the memories of it. Gotta see some really neat stuff and talk to some really amazing people too.
Yada yada
Personally I hate that they automated GM's I may have spoken to you at one stage trying to fix something haha! thats amazing man! so cool, If i ever own a gaming company. I have learned, having real people operate as GM"s is the best thing you could EVER do for a game. it felt like you had a force that watched your every move and sometimes did some amazing things that kept us guessing and asking questions!
How did you became a gm?
@hi there I think its all about connections too, but GM is my dream job. Sad that I didnt know somebody, I would be a GM without being paid for, I think its very funny and nice to interact with players like this. ^^
@Kuuryo So the game doesn't have gm's anymore or?
the lich king kill "bug" was ridiculous. grenades were a normal part of rotation for a lot of people. Maybe blizzard should have done some bug testing
Skid
@@alexanderbrandt9816 why would a super hardcore guild exploit fucking normal icc
Very true
heh….
I remember when Gm's used to appear.
I remember I had this really really noob moment when I first started playing in Burning crusade.
I had joined a guild which had just a few weeks later disbanded, leaving me in an empty guild as the Guild master without any knowhow how to get rid of it, so I ticketed.
And loe and behold, a GM popped up, casually approaching me blue and black robes, a few toys and everything, asking what needed to be done.
We chatted a bit before he gave me the command to loose the guild and he dissapeared.
It was so surreal. xD
*Lose
Sorry, this always bothers me.
Ninehills X ok looser
man.... I cant believe a GM tricked you with the old /Guild disband for free gold trick
@@ninehills42 ah yes, jokes
Was the best time . During Bc it was “relatively” normal you had a chance to see a GM , because Blizzard had a very active support during these times
I was on Vek'nilash US when the whole Martin Fury thing went down. It was crazy having MMO champion and all these other sites talking about your tiny insignificant PVE server lol
I love games where the GMs interact with players and do god tier actions that only they can do. Back in I think Atlantia and Grandchase GMs would always hang out and do insanely awesome stuff.
Join a small MUD and you can become a GM and code up new awesome stuff.
zOMG, Gaia Online's MMO had GMs that would spawn crazy monsters in the middle of town. The one most well known for this was a man who went by JK who did weekly Dev Meet-ups for the people that still played. He lost his battle to cancer last year, rest that wonderful man's soul.
@@waaurufu yeah I had an awesome experience like that in atlantica
I had only been playing for a week in like the beta and was super nooby but ran into a botter who was constantly killing the same spawns over and over. I reported it in an in game ticket and then got a response from a GM saying they would check it out.
Then the gm legit descends down in a ray of light decked out with full on angel wings etc lol and watches the botter with me. He watches for a bit and says it looks like it is a bot then he spawns in a bunch of bigass dragons which kills the botter. However the botter just runs back and just dies to the dragons again. GM says he can't leave the dragons up because they might bother real players so he despawns them. Then he just puts a DOT on the botter that instantly kills the botter everytime they respawn and says he will leave that on them until he gets the go ahead to ban them.
Was one of the most fun gaming experiences for me and by far the most fun one in that game.
First month of Vanilla, we started a goofy guild on Proudmoore, and we did not realize a GM was actually a member of the Guild. Well that is until several months later he /whispered me and provided the wife & I with a one year activation code to enjoy ourselves THAT much more. Was a moment to never forget!
dang
The nerf of Martin Thunder is a perfect representation of blizzards development through the years
Small correction: The Ensidia grenade debacle was on normal, not heroic
You spelt Warglaive wrong in the video, I mean no harm.
Was about to type that.
Paragon took world first 25hc by weeks and it wasn't just weeks of practice, it was with a significant increase in the ICC buff too. To this day I call Paragons 25LKHC kill the most dominant show of prowess from a guild in the the games history.
Lol my boy hit them with the “ that’s what she said “. Well played.
Blizzard: "Whoops, we accidentally gave you this unobtainable item! But, we're gonna let you keep it. Enjoy!"
Scumlord Player: "Cool, thanks, I'm going to sell this thoughtful gesture. Hope you've learned your lesson from this."
*b a n n e d a l l o f t h e s u d d e n *
In some cases i think it wasnt a accident
Martin Fury item's is like legendary stuff hahaha maaan keeep this fucking cheated item into your bank and that it ! Don't burn the Blizzard radar with your quick achievement hahaha
lmao i would sell it too, he wouldn't even ride it once he got his epic. he was stupid for posting it on a site though
“Born again hardcore” is a line from the movie Full Metal Jacket.
Facts
You are a gift mankind does not deserve
And now you've taught me something. One of my favorites - guess I need to watch it again or else I would have picked up on that one!
love that anime
@@metricmoto, logic.
It never ceases to amaze me that Blizzard punishes players whenever they manage to get through some kind of loop hole, especially when it's something as harmless as finding GM Island. Send them on their way and be thankful that you can now fix a broken part of the game thanks to their discovery.
For more serious stuff I understand you have to make an example but for the rest, bans seem really harsh.
As he says in the video, they have let people keep stuff but then fortunate player decides to sell his account with special item. So I don’t blame them. It’s like every other rule in life that once didn’t exist until someone tried to take advantage thus ruining it for everyone.
The ban for the gm island was like a day or smth I think, really nothing bad
Its a game should be about fun a adventure but they took away all the good stuff. I have the rare bow you can't transmog. But magic things they took away why would they do this no one to have fun. They want people to stay give what the people want.Look at second life people do what they want wow gotta get together.
I got banned for 3 days for going outside of stormwind. Ironic that they'd create a world then ban you for exploring it
Hey madseasonshow I wanna say thank you so much for your vids I'm going through a tough time and haven't been able to sleep due to the stress but your vids help me relax enough to get some so thank you so much you have a fan for life in me
Hey man, just wanted to thank you for making such nice videos. I haven't been feeling well and have really struggled the past year with myself but your videos never fail at making me feel better
Man…the afrasiabi artifact ring has a much different vibe to it now….
Was just about to go to bed but you uploaded! As always awesome video, love from Australia.
Man these videos just make my day. Love these dude keep up the work
I just really enjoy your content. When I first saw a video of you I almost immediatly wanted to back out since your voice sounded so slow. A couple of years later and your voice is a joy to my ears and your videos are so relaxing to me. Keep it up man, thanks alot
Frostbourne is obviously a hunter weapon though
Arthas used Wingclip to kill Uther, change my mind
Even though I know all of this already from watching too many youtube videos on wow, it's still so interesting for me to here it all over n over. So much history for this game...plus MadSeason's content is second to none. Must be cool being that one guy with the Talisman of the Binding Shard. Too bad he can't have it in classic though.
Man this episode would be different if made in late 2021
youre so calm youre lulling me into a false sense of security!
Good job on video! You make my day when you upload! Thank you
I love you madsi, the only youtuber I activated the notifications to
MadSeasonShow is definitely the Bob Ross of wow. Super entertainingly alluring channel.
Love the music ff7 soundtrack, DK’s aquatic ambience good stuff also mad season is the shit
yeah, come for the glorious monotone, stay for the excellent selection of relaxing game music in the background
I have never played WOW nor plan to, but this type of stuff is still very interesting.
Aquatic Ambience, one of the most haunting and beautiful melodies of my childhood.
Love your choice of background music. Good to see a man of taste
Broooo the GM island. Those memories
I didn't expect you to cover Martin Thunder! So few people know of it. Was going to comment about it had you not included it. But gg :)
"Well, if she did say that, then you should put a ring on her...just not this next one..."
Was questing in STV in vanilla and everyone in chat was going berserk saying to come to the temple near the shore can't remember the exact location name. When i arrived there were hundreds of skeletons and a GM was standing on top of the structure summoning an Army of Internals killing anyone who approached. Pretty sure he was role-playing I don't remember the details it was 15 years ago back in my stoner years. Smolderthorn US.
Now I'm old and don't have time for wow but it will always hold a special place in my heart 2004-2017.
I was a GM on a private server back in 2006-2008 "Bloody Network" if anyone might know that name let me know :D
The shit GM's could do were hilarious xD My favourite spell was one where you targeted a player clicked, and it flung him into nirvana xD Also morphing people especially cheater into sheeps, and watch them freak out, sneak up on guild colleagues and kill their enemies with a command so they get no loot.
Oh we were arseholes, but after working through 150-200 tickets a day for each GM (we had ~3200 players on the server and ~10-12GM's) it was just fun, and most times players even wrote tickets with funny ideas to troll their friends, great times... man TBC was the shit back then. Also morphing yourself into Illidan and then simply walk into Ogrimar doors to see people freak out stuff like that :D
We need the game to go back to this.
r/thathappened
@@Nightfury2ssIG GM's have never been able to do most of the stuff the OP posted. "Private server" GM's aren't real GM's. Real WOW GM's do not have access to those commands, they are basically developer commands. The only time those ever see use is on internal development builds when stuff is being tested. Real GM's have a custom client that does let them do some things (they have to be able to generate items to restore them for players for instance), but they don't have anywhere near the abilities that people on private servers do.
Luka Drazic Private server
Stormspark lol until wotlk the gms could do everything they want with commands. Dont talk shit newbie
When I gamemaster'd I had a bomb that would kill everything in a 30 yard AoE I could use, then respawn mobs to unglitch them. Also lots of the environment were intractable with the gm flag on.
Once i realized it was the Cosmo Canyon music playing in the background, I got distracted and had to watch the video again to catch everything that was said.
I love your channel. Thank you!
Thanks for mentioning Everquest, it doesn't get enough recognition. If you played that game back in the day or project 1999 emulation online today, you would see how much classic WoW took from that game thanks to the world first raiders from Everquest that were Alex Afrasiabi, Rob Pardo, and Jeff Kaplan.
you have an incredibly satisfying conversation melody
I got to the island in Vanilla. I used a water walking buff and epic mount with stamina pot. Luckily I didn’t get banned; there really wasn’t anything there but empty buildings.
I remember seeing GM's twice in game. Once during the first Brewfeast event and the second in Wintergrasp.
For Brewfeast I just remember seeing a character flying over head. Not on a flight path mind you as it was a bat mount that was hovering mid air over the event. Yeah the guy was circling overhead right before the Dark Iron invasion. Not sure if he stayed around as during the invasion my character fell threw the ground and slowly fell/drifted toward the Barrens.
Second time I was on my BE Rogue flying into WG to do some fishing. I happen to spy a dwarf doing the same and thought "Easy Honor kill". So I circled back from the flight path and came up behind him. Only to find him neutral in a zone that flags you?
He waved at me set off a few toys and went back to his fishing leaving me puzzled. Someone in my guild later suggested (he/she) must have been a GM when I asked about it while getting ready for our Thursday night raid.
Old time Classic player, enjoy your content much Madseason! Edit: That Martin Fury Raid Spam, LOL!
Just Noticed the bachground music around 2:30 ish. FF7 the village of Red! :D love these oldschool game Music
The phrase "Welcome to Alex country. Buckle up." becomes a lot more sinister when you hear about how he was behind the scenes.
Hey Mad! Love the video! But I think the City Tabards that gave rep were added in Cataclysm's early days.
Never heard about these items from you. Crazy
That lovely cosmo canyon soundtrack❤
I finished off my first mmo as a volunteer GM. It was pretty wild to have access like that after being a player for so long.
These are some pretty cool items. I definitely remember when Martin Fury was given out, and also remember people in my vanilla guild linking (on our guild website) wowhead links to stuff like Twin Glaives of Azzinoth. And that bad legendary neck as well. My guess is it was meant to be part of an earlier Thunderfury quest chain, given the similar name as the bindings drops, and being on one of the same bosses that drops bindings now.
i can confirm Martin is furious about the nerfs and also your comment made him laugh
Not an ítem but many years ago a was with a friend in hes house and was playing and for some reason had some horrible lag (like 5k ms), it was the game because any other game was working just fine, and suddenly a gm talk to him and ask him if had any problem with the game (my friend didnt open any ticket) after some magic tricks he had like 50 ms
and for reference in this region usually we play with 180-200 ms
NazarusGG how?
@@vilvero thats a mystery for me, even today
Worth noting the Stormwind tabard is obtainable from Garrisons. The building that gives you Iron Horde transmog gives you a set of SW/Org guard armor and an axe for Horde, a shield for Alliance, and the LK Org tabard or the 'proper' SW tabard.
I love when my fishing poles have pretty diesel DPS.
Thank you for this channel!
Very detailed, thank you
Why are you so god at making videos? the fading, the sound, the right images, the right words. This really feels like a warcraft world you're immersing me in, through a video!!! Ive seen about everything Classic-WoW you uploaded and your videos keep getting better and better, content will end someday, but your skills will not. !!
I still remember a GM spawning tons of the bugs on us in plague wing for ICC. That seems to be the spot to run into them in Wrath. He was summoned because someones loot didn't drop for them in a heroic 5 man earlier lol.
4:42 DOUBLE THORIUM!!!! pog
I had the Tabard of Stormwind on my Tauren shaman on my old private vanilla server. Got it from a gm for starting a hogger raid. Stained with the blood of the alliance.
2:00 Final Fantasy VII - Cosmo Canyon
5:08 Donkey Kong Country - Aquatic Ambiance
11:36 Zelda 3 - Dark World
Just what I needed today
Super cool vid!
Great video. Hail to the king, baby!
I remember when a GM was tossing around Mohawk Grenades in Org at people when that Event was going on
nowadays that fluorescent green mechano-strider is now obtainable in SoD. such good times back in the day man. Crazy to think we might have the bengal tiger aswell.
Ensidia reported the bug multiple times, they also showed in logs where the bombs had been used in the rogues rotation multiple time. NOW, they did keep going after they figured out the bug and hence were punished.
Because other guild also were exploiting it
Love the Donkey Kong Country music in the background!
The saronite bomb thing wasn't on heroic, tho, wasn't it? If I remember correctly, Kungen has video explaining that it only happened on normal mode, and they never used it to (unintentionally) exploit heroic mode
Also, 6:08, diesel DPS? Hahaha 😊 liked! But where's the love button if I loved it? ❤️
got love your videos man!
1:40 wasnt that on normal LK and didnt the bombs at that time consist of the normal dps rotation?
Yes, and they totally didnt need this glitch to beat the boss because they cleared it on their alts the same reset. This made it so their alts could attempt LK heroic a week before their mains.
You are correct. My memory of WOTLK is a bit off it seems!
That's even better than the previous time
Dat what she said
Great vid bro lov u
@2:01 Cosmo Cayon Theme song!!! thank you!!!
Not a GM weapon but once my game glitched out and I equipped a HearthStone. You could see an "untextured errored model" (blue and white checkerboard if I'm not mistaken) in my hand in the log-in screen. I might have the screen shot on my old hard drive in storage.
I was told by a dev ages ago at blizzcon that Martin's weapons were only ever intended to be used by qa to automate testing drop chances - not by GMs.
3 words: Tabard of Lordaeron
"When your raid party don't show up"
oh the good old days when you actually saw a gm! With there new system and reporting system its so alienated now.
At 2:45 the music seemed way too familiar... Cosmo Canyon from final fantasy vii... Nice!
i once entered the dancing troll village and spoke to a GM, lol.
this was back in Wotlk
am i the only dude here pressing the like button before the '' Back with another video for you '' part cus i know it's just as good as always
Thanks for your confidence! I try my best, so I'm glad it shows
Given previous content that flavor text on fishing pole suites you well.
I wonder if the florescent green mechanostrider would have been brought into the later added mount system or purposefully left out
Lmao as I was reading the Equip text for Frostmourne i said to myself "The sword doesnt make you The Lich King..." and then 2 seconds later....
Wasn’t peeps whistle made for Ezra from make a wish foundation and then he and GM could only use it till they made ashe’s a drop off keal?
Is that.... The Sword Of A Thousand Truths?
Used to kill "That Which Has No Life"
@@user-zm1rq6xj9v 🤣😂
Great video!
This brings me back to private servers man awwww I loved using these weapons and glitching to GM island
Oh you know the importance of nature resistance for AQ40 and fire resistiance for MC, so you know the legendary amulet is pretty OP!
But Maaad I dont feel like going to bed already !
awesome video guildee
So, interesting idea (maybe) what if the next Azeroth Arsenal is the Fangs of the Father. The legendary rogue daggers from cata?
We're still around in FoH :) mostly classic only though
I remember encountering a GM for the first and only time, I was in ToC HC in an alliance raid, the boss bugged and we called the GM to appear he wanted to invite him to the party to fix something, problem is that he entered as a horde and couldn't get invited. So he had to log in again as a night elf. Good times 8)
The EQ screenshot you showed of Alex Afrosiabi in EQ had his guild tag on a different server a decade later but not him in the SS at all lol
Ah, I'll never forget my first Wiggly Tournament victory
That screen shot showing the Talisman of the Binding shard also shows a T2 piece of loot for priests which was not available in Molten Core.... seems legit.
T2 stuff was at launch, it was just later removed to be reserved for blackwing lair
I remember in WotLK once i got stuck in the ropes of the turtle ship south of Dragonblight. I could not move out, my HS was on that 1h cooldown we all CHERISHED RIGHT, and I was young and felt stupid.
I ticketed and a GM appeared on the deck of the boat, and was like "What's the issue?"
I told him I flew into the ropes and got stuck and he just answered LOL before mocking me kindly for five minutes straight, making me laugh too. He got me out on the deck as well and left. Was such a great moment of cringe. ♥
Correction mad season: the talisman was removed from his character, if you look up his armory you can see he has all level 70 gear and a blank neck slot
Actually, it wasn't removed. He just quit the game, and the item no longer shows on the armory because it isn't recognized.
Back during wrath I used to mod my weapon to look like and have the link of Frostmourne. So many people messaged me. I always trolled them telling them crazy ways to obtain it.
