My first character was a night elf druid and I was wandering around in this area for hours in vanilla leveling and trying to figure out where the hell the exit out of this small area was.... Good times in vanilla.... Music really made 50% of the game for me.
Online Marketing Essentials Back when Grinding was actually part of the game... Now it's just whores with heirlooms and level boosters buying gold for real money.. Wish they never introduced that shit
Online Marketing Essentials same here man. Night elf druid named Arnaea. I play Horde now but I still go back there and hide somewhere secluded just to listen to the music.
This reminds me of the long journey a Night Elf used to have to take to get to Stormwind for the first time. Taking the boat to Menethil Harbor, dying SO MANY TIMES at the jaws of crocolisks in the Wetlands, then traveling through the high mountain tunnels into Dun Morogh, running through the snow, taking shelter in the warm halls of Ironforge, and taking the Deeprun Tram into Stormwind. All so I could level with my friends that were playing human toons.
I used to drown my Nelf in the sea down the coast from Menethil, avoiding fatigue patches to travel as close to Iron Forge as possible, and then res in Dun Morogh, I think? Night Elves had it tough.
I had same history, but I didn’t use Deeprub Tram. I went through the Burning Stepped, came to the Redridge Mountains and get many quests, then duskwood and then Stranglethorn Vales
Malfurion is an asshole.... the Night Elves should be ruled by Illidan or by Maiev... but not that dumb druid.If Illidan or Maiev would lead the race we could even rebuild Zin-Aszhari but no!!! Now we are nomads in a world where we were the first race to reveal.
2:52 Heard this song in a video and thought "That sounds familiar..." searched up, came here and when I heard it the nostalgia literally slapped me in the face. It was so overwhelming that I started to cry.
This is by far my facourite of your WoW ambience videos. The night elf music is so mystical, so magical. There is also a hint of sadness of times long past and also dignity of a great culture that once was immortal. Sorry I nerded out a bit lol.
The bit at 5:45 to 6:10 is what gets me. In those 25 seconds I replay what feels like years of memories at once. Get teary eyed and almost lost my breath. Nostalgia is maybe the most powerful emotion, atleast for me.
night elf areas where absolutely the most atmospheric .. leveling through Teldrassil and Dolanaar .. entering Darnassus for the first time .. taking the wyvern to Auberdine the one area of safety on Darkshore .. memories 😐
My first character was a nightelf hunter when I was 12, and this will forever be my favorite starting area/music. I really think about it all of the time.
This soundtrack elicits stronger feelings in me than pretty much anything else i have experienced through music and/or smells. I can't believe it's been 20 years.
same. This music actually got me back to Wow, twice now. I'm fighting the urge to go back a third time, been clean since halfway through the most recent expansion.
@@BelfastBiker I know the feeling. I joke with my girlfriend that WoW is my metaphorical cocaine. But I am also afraid that going back would ruin the feeling for me: Both because it's such a different game by now, and because im 35 now, and can't replicate what made it special to me when I was 15.
So many years ago I walked these lands... Feels like distant long forgotten memories come back to comfort me. Still the best gaming experience of my life. Those first few weeks after launch were... gah, I really can't do justice with words. You had to be there.
It is not that you want to play the game in that version or specific moment in time. You just want to be your old self again, it's nostalgia for childhood, for a place of no worries and naive happiness. They recreated the game in that version, and after a year people got dehyped. Is just that, people don't miss the game, but their former selves and friends who used to hang with.
My first character in WoW was a Nightelf. I had a break from the game and came back many years later. Made a Nightelf again and that starting zone music totally flashed me! I almost cried because of all the memories that came back all of a sudden. That was amazing.
I miss the days when role playing servers were so full of dedicated role players that we all knew each others characters and regularly had extremely interactive friendships and companionships within a game. You truly exited your life and entered this land back then.
No worries, there's still plenty of Gnome & Worgen ERP to be had behind the Goldshire Inn... At least, that was my experience with one of the popular RP servers... Pretty weird stuff.
I'm so happy you exist, honestly. I play Vanilla to get the feeling of the good old days, and it doesn't do even 10% for me of what your videos achieve. They really take me back, and they give me positive vibes whatever I'm doing. Your channel is a treasure, I hope you know that.
2007 I was here...amazed by it all...I wanted to explore everything..I didn't care about end game at all, just what the next quest was and what was over that little hill in the distance. Such memories...
I think its the best starting area. The purple themed forest along with the springs and the floating spirits combined with the specific music is exactly what someone expects for the night elves homeland. Kudos Bizzard, you make a lot of people fall in love with what you create.
The memories just rush in while listening to this. I know it's just a game but back then this was a huge part of my life, mainly because i was still a kid growing up. But listening now and thinking back makes me miss those times so much. Don't grow up, it's a trap.
the whole night elf area was all the way on the other side of the map. not many other players leveled up there and just left to go to SW or IF... it was deserted but it was oddly, peaceful. felt like it was lost in time. felt so fucking nostalgic even back then.. but now, forget about it- nostalgia off the charts
3 years on, we can confidently say: What you used to create with people who once worked there. None of the original creative minds still work there, it's a shell of its past.
2:53. Specifically remember getting lost in Teldrassil. TELDRASSIL of all places! I couldn't for the life of me get back to the second "town" after the starter zone. As I stood there with my Nightelf Druid, wearing the most colorful array of low level cloth and leather armor, this moment came on. Then I got scared. Then, I met my first WoW friend. Some chick RIDING A SABERTOOTH TIGER wanted to help me. Now, its too easy for me to find my way in video games. Currently looking forward to the next game that makes me feel lost. Thought No Man's Sky would be it. But nope.
Im in search for that same game... red dead redemption 2 got close, but it was different because it's Arthur's story, not MY story. But alas, let me know if you find such thing...
My first character was a Night Elf male warrior with pink skin and a big head of bright green hair. When Enchanted Forest kicks in the memories start coming back from using charge for the first time to buying those white quality items thinking that was a good idea. Great times.
@Kind Citizen i made a human, didnt get anywhere, then i made a nelf warrior, kept playing, behind astranaar(?) there is sometimes a random mob that spawns, drops a machete, after i found it and it dropped and i had my first green at lvl 6-ish i ran back and forth to shadowglen yelling at anyone who would listen to follow me so they could find a very powerful weapon. Oof and when i finished the relics of awakening quest and got that sword that sheathed on your back? I used that until my 14 day trial was over. After that, i just kept renewing 14 day trials. P.s. "The Internet Is For Porn" machinima is what got me hooked on WoW.
2:52 brings me back to wrath, back in August 2010, when I made one of my first characters, a night elf hunter. I was in 6th grade. Simpler times and so much damn nostalgia from this music, reminds me of the old wrath themed launcher as well.
God I remember being so damn young, like 10 or under young, and just running aimlessly through Teldrassil because Night Elf Druid was my first roll. I’ve always found Teldrassil the most beautiful imo. Nostalgia galore. Now i’ve got student bills to pay and no more membership. 💔
I still remember my first day in WoW. I created night elf druid named Randomizer. I wasn't doing quests, I was just walking around and was being amazed by all of those people around me. Wolrd seemed so huge and strange. I was beautiful, I regret it will never come back :). It was really beautiful time (I was 12 YO I think), and each afternoon and evening, right after coming back from school, I joined to WoW and was exploring. It's pitty, that classic WoW doesn't have this "magic" anymore, everybody is too goal oriented.
MegaChickenfish unfortunately Blizzard is determined to shit on the night elves all the time to satisfy the boner they and all the WoW vloggers/fans have for the Horde 🙄
@@OneTrueVikingbard You're joking? Tyrande, Malfurion and Ilidan are so overused by now. And they're giving night elves more things + lore. Even void elves and Nightborne have more things now than blood elves - which are actually being shited on by Blizz, so gtfo with your crying. I'm an alliance too mate but pulling shit from your ass just makes us look bad.
Jin the banana from the left open your eyes. The Alliance faction leaders don’t get more than a cursory character development, unless they’re Varian or Anduin: Velen, Malfurion and Jaina were dragged through the mud in Legion (and Mists of Pandaria), the dwarves don’t get much of anything at all, they brought Mechatorque into the limelight in BfA only to kill him off, and Greymane hasn’t had anything more substantial than “leading from the front” since Cataclysm. Meanwhile, the Horde lost Cairne and Vol’jin and Thrall was dragged through the mud starting with Mists of Pandaria: all their other characters are either being shoved into our faces (Sylvanas, Lorthemar, and a certain stuckup nightbourne) or being ignored (Ji, like Asa: thank the light). We know more about Orcs, Nightbourne, the forsaken, the goblins, and the horde allied races than we do conversely about almost every alliance race (I guess Blizzard decided not to give any serious development to their most popular race, the humans, because they’re favoring the Alliance? Give me a break!)
@@JustAChinesePleb No, he/she is right. Look at all the places the nelves have lost. Started with Cata: The Park in Stormwind, some area in Stonetalon, Auberdine destroyed, parts of Ashenvale, Cenarion Hold in Legion, now Teldrassil destroyed and its citizens genocided. The only reason Blizz brings up Tyrande and Malf is to humiliate and make fun of them, depict them as idiots. Blizzard has a HUGE hate boner for nelves, idk why. Nelves are the 2nd most popular Alliance race by a very large margin but Blizz treats them as though they were an NPC faction.
My night elf grew up here. This was always my all time favorite area, not just for the ambience, it is beautiful, mysterious, and scary all at the same time. Even when I would leave this area to explore other areas, I still came back. I found my first guild here. I made a few friends here. Thank you for this video!!!
15 years ago when I was 8y.o, I first created my first ever character a night elf druid, I can literally remember every part of that journey. Teldrassil will always be in our heart, Teldrassil is our home. Thanks for all the great memories.
You can't go home again, but you can hope that when you close your eyes for the last time as a human, that you open them again to this music, and say, like I did on my first RP toon on a re-roll, "I had such a terrible dream!"
What is it with WoW? Everything about it seeps into your mind subconsciously. The music, the sayings, the incredible artwork. Still get misty when Voljin dies. The game is a true masterpiece and will be ingrained in my DNA forever.
Back in 2004 I was 11 years old, and that's when I took my first steps into the vast and mysterious World of Warcraft. I was a hunter in a massive forest, not knowing what lie beyond this elven landscape, but I loved every moment of my time there. Slowly, I learned that I was in fact inside of a massive tree- a haven to the night elves. Bewildered, I opened my map- I could only dream of what else existed in this now seemingly enormous world. When I grew in strength and mustered up the courage, I finally embarked on my journey outside of my home. Then I accidentally took the wrong boat in Darkshore and got my ass handed to me by some crocodile in the Wetlands. Anyway, RIP Teldrassil, we'll all miss you :')
2006 I made my first toon NE Hunter and immediately fell in love with WoW it helped me through very troubled times and it’s probably the reason I am here writing this today
First time when I played WoW I played as a Night Elf, it was on Christmas. I was walking around, exploring that purple world, it was awsome. Then my first boat to Darkshore, was something that I will never forget
I was playing Guild Wars at the time when World of Warcraft was released and I heavily contemplated giving it a try, but the monthly fee was holding me back. Eventually I got too curious and ended up going for it despite the fees, and made a night elf hunter as my first character. The only MMORPG experience for me being Guild Wars, a game with hidden walls and no ability to jump, made the freedom of movement really astounding. I spent the first hour or two on just jumping on things and trying to climb the hills of the starting area before even trying to hit monsters or accepting a quest. The movement was just so fluid and the night elf characters did a front flip jump animation from time to time, I just couldn't get over how cool it all was. Good times.
haha I had exactly same annoyances with guild wars (jump, invisible walls, cant climb mountains etc) and why I prefered wow, even though gw was amazing. it's weird to think about, as such things don't annoy me at all anymore, but as a kid these restrictions definitely were a big deal for me haha. I guess I just really liked exploring, I still do, but now if a game just doesn't have x part of the game then I just focus on the interesting parts the game does have instead of wishing it was something else haha.
I'm sitting on a roof in Lor'danel, on my DK, staring at the tree, playing this video. I know we'll be able to go back to it but I am seriously gonna miss this place. :/
Vanilla WoW Teldrassil questing was the most immersive, peaceful zone in the entire game, and this music is still relaxing and reminiscent of hours spent here. I know I'm not the only one who felt totally enraptured doing these quests for years.
My first WoW character was a night elf named "Epicnightelf" on Trollbane server that I shared with my brother. I remember the night we hit level 40. Hit 40 in Arathi then saw some level 70 and asked him for gold so we can get a mount. He said "If you're so epic why don't you have gold?". We sat there and next thing you know he opened trade and gave us the gold we needed. It was a school night and we weren't even supposed to be up. Downstairs on the family PC absolutely losing our fucking minds riding a nightsaber around Darnassus. Shoutout to Zenyson, Gargonos, and Hylandshunter.
My first WOW character back in the beginning was a Night Elf, when i hear this music it transports me to that magical time when it was all new and so incredibly exciting. Those times can never happen again but the music takes your heart back for a fleeting moment and it's exhilarating; thanks for posting.
Welp, now that this place is a pile of ashes ... no more of this ambience and music, thanks Sylvanas! This place was my first experience with WoW I remember... back in WoTLK
Looking back on my gaming history, I think discovering Teldrassil for the first time was my favourite moment by far. I've been playing Warcraft 2 and 3 for many years before WoW, and being able to really get inside that world was magical. Even today, whenever I make a new night elf character, it still hits me. The atmosphere of vanilla WoW is unmatched to this day.
My first ever character was a Night Elf and logging in the first time and just seeing this massive starting area just threw me in awe. My best experience ever playing this game was being a noob... Being able to hear the music and see and explore this starting zone for the first time was the most magical experience i've had in this game.... I will always miss being a noob in WoW.
I discovered WoW 14 years ago after my high school friends got me into it, I was 13 years old and this was my first proper PC game, my first multiplayer experience. I remember the being mezmerised that those were *actual people* running around on my screen. It really did feel like another world. The nostalgia is so powerful it's heart wrenching. Have to fight back tears thinking about it.
Why is it always my favorite Nelf zones that get fucked up? First Auberdine, now Teldrassil and Darnassus?! I'm gonna actually cry, I remember my first character was a Nelf hunter I named Waterbird when I was five. I'd go around just picking Peaceblooms and Silverleaves for hours...
This is my favorite piece of music from the game (I even sleep to it). I drag all my Ally toons thru this zone. No exceptions. My 1st Toon was a Night Elf Hunter. Thank you so much for posting this. Elune be praised!
I miss Teldrassil already. Andu-falah-dor, let balance be restored. The enemies of the forest will soon know the wrath of the Kaldorei as never before. --A night elf rper nerd.
Yep, this music hurts my soul. Nostalgia. In the past, as a child, I had nothing to fear or worry about. I had everything és everyone I needed. I had fun playing this game, more than anything that time. If only I could relive those moments as a whole.. only for a minute.. Thanks Blizzard and Music composers, developers, you made something unspeakable.
2:56 This part made all the memories flood back in...My first ever wow character was a night elf rogue named Danush, i was barely 10 years old and didnt even know how to use a keyboard correctly yet, since this was my first ever game. My Dad is the one who introduced me to WoW (against my mothers wishes lol). I used to watch him raid for hours but when i turned 10 he finally let me make my own character and i was pretty much hooked right then and there. Its the only interest that my dad and i ever shared when he was still around. Im turning 25 and man, what i wouldnt give to go back to being 10 again even if only for a moment.
Was a night elf warrior upon arriving in azeroth for the first time. Took me days to level and leave teldrassil. For the first day i just ran around and explored. Thought the entire game was set in this zone. Then out of curiosity i figured out I could open a bigger map instead of looking at my on screen mini map. Then I found out you could zone out, and out. Was blown away with excitement and the thrill for adventure to explore more of the world. Being a noob in wow during vanilla was some of the greatest times and memories of my life.
This is one of my favourite places in all of WoW. I love Teldrassil very much, the whole area gives me so much when I am there. It is magical and even though it also holds a lot of sadness, I think, it is also a very calm place. It hurts me so much that Teldrassil will burn down in the new expansion. I wish it didn't have to - I even contacted the support in game and expressed my sadness and anger about this, but they didn't get back to me about it. What's done is done. I just hope it will be able to heal and hopefully come back one day. Your ambience videos are so wonderful. I love the ones you have from WoW and Skyrim - and this one is one of my absolute favourites. Thank you for creating such magic. ~
Great job. I love this. It helps many people to feel more relaxed and sleep. Night elves for the win I remember back in the day when the elves would come in 2 pair to ORG and completely wreck the city. back when we used to invade cities. Good times. Always has a place in my heart! Thanks!
So much nostalgia. I remember first playing world of Warcraft when I was about 15. My first character was a Night elf in the trial. Then I bought the game soon after and became hooked. Even though the game messed up my life in many ways, I still don't completely regret the experiences I've had within the game.
My 1st char ever was a night elf hunter on Agamaggan back in 07. I meticulously explored this entire area rummaging through all its little caves, hills, and even the dreadful druid dens where I would and probably still could get lost in. I remember finding those out the way to those spots where you could actually jump off the tree. One of them had a named satyr that I always thought was some secret npc. And finding out this massive forest was all inside one massive tree had my little mind explode. Darkshore and Ashenvale are probably in my opinion some of the best starting classic zones ever along with Redridge mountains and the Barrens. Truth is almost every zone in this game absolutely 'wow' me. What I would do to be able to explore this game again like I did 15 years ago.
my home Forrest :) dang...so long Time ago..thats 11 years now...wooohooo...thx for all ur vids...subbed insta as i discovered them...greets from Germany..keep up the great Work!!
I was hooked then and there. This makes me remember playing night elves together with my best friend on starter accounts while talking over the phone. I was 11 and when I was alone I got so immersed I always thought up a story for my character while exploring the forests. School might have sucked but I always got to come home to playing WoW. It was the most amazing thing growing up.
The music is so beautiful and hauntingly sorrowful. I remember starting out as a Night Elf Hunter, trying to figure out how to play the game... and then being amazed that all this takes place on a tree... and then being surprised there is so, so much more to explore beyond!
Every time. Every time i listen to this i drop a few tears. Wow. 16 years, just passed. From the lvl 1 warrior in 2006 to the guy who doesnt even play anymore because blizzard destroyed the game. Still love this. And will never forget. Best times.
the whole night elf area was all the way on the other side of the map. not many other players leveled up there and just left to go to SW or IF... it was deserted but it was oddly, peaceful. felt like it was lost in time. so fucking nostalgic.
Thank you for these videos. World of Warcraft was a time and a place for me that has long since passed, but I'll always enjoy its outrageously epic music.
playing this in classic way back when, was one of my last good memories in my entire life, my life was so forfilling and fun and free back then, even though I was bullied to all hell, and my parents constantly fought, my mother being absolutely cruel, none of that ever bothered me back then, I was content, whole, and alive. and now im older my soul has died, and I feel nothing but emptiness, dispair and anxiety...forever. so this music makes me cry, because it casts my mind back, reminding me what ive lost so long ago, how really, I died at 11 and my still walking corpse is around now.
Love this so much ! I didn`t even notice the camera was not moving - I didn`t think about it..though that is really neat when you want to put up if you wanna look at it..but when I work I just need music,mostly - and from time to time I look at video,depends on what Im doing. However - all these are much appreciated. I love how detailed they are and how they blend together fantastically. I wish we had Ebon hold music as well - with those male vocals,same as we hear in DK order hall...those are spectacular..
I was actually planning a series of music+ambience videos from each and every Order Hall but without the moving shots it would look abysmal. I was thinking of substituting Ebon Hold video with DK Order Hall one since it's basically Ebon Hold 2.0. I also tend to delete my characters after reaching level cap and don't feel like spending money on boosts, so that's another problem.
Amazing music and an amazing place- so many memories in this place for me. I started my very first character, and still my main, a night elf druid in July 2005. So sad to see this mightly tree go! Awesome vid by the way, and thanks for uploading this!
The nostalgia from back in the days... Im trying to sleep and this works like a charm.. Litterally letting a tear go of the happy toughs thank you so much!
So many good memories, still have my old WoW screenshot folder of pics from when WoW was first released in Europe all the way up to mid cataclysm before I stopped. I'll never miss this music or the wonderful starting area Teldrassil as I rolled my Nelf rogue. I think of all my stories and memories from this game and imagine how many millions of others just like me have equally fun and unique stories to tell. Nostalgia yo, feels goodman.
People cancelled their subscription & left WOW over what happened to Teldrassil. Activision Blizzard really going to shit. Teldrassil amazing Music & beautiful introduction to WOW no more 😢 3:00 😭❤️ Brings back memories. 6:25 A Little Hope 9:58 Home Sweet Home 14:14 Majestic Trees 30:33 Welcome 33:12 Home 51:47 Forest 55:51 A Gentle Rain
Played a NE druid called Puoltas since beta. This was always my favourite place. So many good memories. Never had such a feeling of home in any other game.
Nostalgic as ever! First toon ever created was when the game first released in 2004, 10 years old at the time. Made a Night Elf male Hunter named Oceanwise. Played with my mom back then. Great times.
Jump - jump - jump - FLIP...YES!
The greatest achievement in the game
Haha good one 😂
I'm crying XD
Haha

My first character was a night elf Druid as well.. this music made it feel magical

This reminds me of the long journey a Night Elf used to have to take to get to Stormwind for the first time. Taking the boat to Menethil Harbor, dying SO MANY TIMES at the jaws of crocolisks in the Wetlands, then traveling through the high mountain tunnels into Dun Morogh, running through the snow, taking shelter in the warm halls of Ironforge, and taking the Deeprun Tram into Stormwind. All so I could level with my friends that were playing human toons.
I used to drown my Nelf in the sea down the coast from Menethil, avoiding fatigue patches to travel as close to Iron Forge as possible, and then res in Dun Morogh, I think? Night Elves had it tough.
why didnt you make THEM come to teldrassil instead?
Lol, you mean you didn't harass the human warlocks you didn't know just to summon you over.
I have the exact same memory from like ... 2006, when I was 15. So so specific, mad to see it written out by somebody who isn't me. Great shout.
I had same history, but I didn’t use Deeprub Tram. I went through the Burning Stepped, came to the Redridge Mountains and get many quests, then duskwood and then Stranglethorn Vales

thats the one
Indeed. Leveling up my druid. Nostalgia - gasm
why do i feel more nostalgic for this game than any childhood memory
I had to wait for it to kick in, hell yes.
how much love in this music. We all Love this game more than someone else. Rogues i love you all.
2:52 Heard this song in a video and thought "That sounds familiar..." searched up, came here and when I heard it the nostalgia literally slapped me in the face. It was so overwhelming that I started to cry.
This is one bit of music next to some of the Kara music that will stick to me til I die. Like you, that nostalgia takes over.
Nothing comfier when this music hits, it's raining in the game and outside in real life. C O Z Y
Same
This is by far my facourite of your WoW ambience videos. The night elf music is so mystical, so magical. There is also a hint of sadness of times long past and also dignity of a great culture that once was immortal. Sorry I nerded out a bit lol.
All good. Thank you. I feel something along those lines fairly often myself. Not with the Night Elves though >:D
These are exactly my thoughts!
death to all purple elves
+klasky123 I should be fine, I'm more of a blue colour.
death to other elves then night, blood and high elves
The bit at 5:45 to 6:10 is what gets me. In those 25 seconds I replay what feels like years of memories at once. Get teary eyed and almost lost my breath. Nostalgia is maybe the most powerful emotion, atleast for me.
40:21 gets me every time. I remember switching zones/music just to be able to hear this :). Too bad it's so short :(
Yea. But probably different part was my fav.
Exactly
I listen to it on Spotify all the time. Love it
@@honeyy9559 whats it called on spotify??
@@Legnsz I know ya meant for Honey to answer but I can tell you it's called Song of Elune. The part you hear is just the last part.
night elf areas where absolutely the most atmospheric .. leveling through Teldrassil and Dolanaar .. entering Darnassus for the first time .. taking the wyvern to Auberdine the one area of safety on Darkshore .. memories 😐
Hippogryph*
Wyvern? horde spy...
My first character was a nightelf hunter when I was 12, and this will forever be my favorite starting area/music. I really think about it all of the time.
RIP beautiful Teldrassil Tree :(
13 years main nelf here .. i still living in druid class hall (druid legion place classs hall) malfurion will kill shyvanas stupid dog. ;)
Elune light your path.
why did u hear this in my head lol
This soundtrack elicits stronger feelings in me than pretty much anything else i have experienced through music and/or smells. I can't believe it's been 20 years.
same. This music actually got me back to Wow, twice now. I'm fighting the urge to go back a third time, been clean since halfway through the most recent expansion.
@@BelfastBiker I know the feeling. I joke with my girlfriend that WoW is my metaphorical cocaine. But I am also afraid that going back would ruin the feeling for me: Both because it's such a different game by now, and because im 35 now, and can't replicate what made it special to me when I was 15.
So many years ago I walked these lands... Feels like distant long forgotten memories come back to comfort me. Still the best gaming experience of my life. Those first few weeks after launch were... gah, I really can't do justice with words. You had to be there.
Peace friend...
Absolutely!
It is not that you want to play the game in that version or specific moment in time. You just want to be your old self again, it's nostalgia for childhood, for a place of no worries and naive happiness. They recreated the game in that version, and after a year people got dehyped. Is just that, people don't miss the game, but their former selves and friends who used to hang with.
My first character in WoW was a Nightelf. I had a break from the game and came back many years later. Made a Nightelf again and that starting zone music totally flashed me! I almost cried because of all the memories that came back all of a sudden. That was amazing.
IslaBonitaYT Almost cried? Nice to know it's not just me that happens to :)
I miss the days when role playing servers were so full of dedicated role players that we all knew each others characters and regularly had extremely interactive friendships and companionships within a game. You truly exited your life and entered this land back then.
No worries, there's still plenty of Gnome & Worgen ERP to be had behind the Goldshire Inn...
At least, that was my experience with one of the popular RP servers... Pretty weird stuff.
@@Scriptures_K Oh yeah and the futari draenei with the giant lactating breasts.
I'm so happy you exist, honestly. I play Vanilla to get the feeling of the good old days, and it doesn't do even 10% for me of what your videos achieve. They really take me back, and they give me positive vibes whatever I'm doing. Your channel is a treasure, I hope you know that.
Well, now I do! Thank you, I'm very glad you're feeling that way.
APSOLUTLY T R E A S U R E....ty from bottom of my hearth :D that sounds...moments of peace
2007 I was here...amazed by it all...I wanted to explore everything..I didn't care about end game at all, just what the next quest was and what was over that little hill in the distance.
Such memories...
This video is so nice, but it now evokes a sadness for what was lost in the war of thorns.
I think its the best starting area. The purple themed forest along with the springs and the floating spirits combined with the specific music is exactly what someone expects for the night elves homeland. Kudos Bizzard, you make a lot of people fall in love with what you create.
Mulgore is a chill starting area too.
Φοβερό παιχνίδι… το ποσο είσαι γεννηθείς ;
The memories just rush in while listening to this. I know it's just a game but back then this was a huge part of my life, mainly because i was still a kid growing up. But listening now and thinking back makes me miss those times so much. Don't grow up, it's a trap.
the whole night elf area was all the way on the other side of the map. not many other players leveled up there and just left to go to SW or IF... it was deserted but it was oddly, peaceful. felt like it was lost in time. felt so fucking nostalgic even back then.. but now, forget about it- nostalgia off the charts
3 years on, we can confidently say: What you used to create with people who once worked there. None of the original creative minds still work there, it's a shell of its past.
People need to hear this message :) growing up is a trap
2:53. Specifically remember getting lost in Teldrassil. TELDRASSIL of all places! I couldn't for the life of me get back to the second "town" after the starter zone. As I stood there with my Nightelf Druid, wearing the most colorful array of low level cloth and leather armor, this moment came on.
Then I got scared.
Then, I met my first WoW friend. Some chick RIDING A SABERTOOTH TIGER wanted to help me.
Now, its too easy for me to find my way in video games. Currently looking forward to the next game that makes me feel lost. Thought No Man's Sky would be it. But nope.
Im in search for that same game... red dead redemption 2 got close, but it was different because it's Arthur's story, not MY story. But alas, let me know if you find such thing...
Ashen of creation migth do it
@@bentod1430 Wow, looks promising. Thanks!
:D
for me that was dark souls, but i agree, it's hard to find games like that.
maybe i'm getting old.
The moments of when you first played this game. Love this music.
Lacey Harris you look gorgeous 😍😆

My first character was a Night Elf male warrior with pink skin and a big head of bright green hair. When Enchanted Forest kicks in the memories start coming back from using charge for the first time to buying those white quality items thinking that was a good idea. Great times.
my first was night elf warrior too ! i keep playing it , its my main :p
@Kind Citizen i made a human, didnt get anywhere, then i made a nelf warrior, kept playing, behind astranaar(?) there is sometimes a random mob that spawns, drops a machete, after i found it and it dropped and i had my first green at lvl 6-ish i ran back and forth to shadowglen yelling at anyone who would listen to follow me so they could find a very powerful weapon. Oof and when i finished the relics of awakening quest and got that sword that sheathed on your back? I used that until my 14 day trial was over. After that, i just kept renewing 14 day trials. P.s. "The Internet Is For Porn" machinima is what got me hooked on WoW.
2:52 brings me back to wrath, back in August 2010, when I made one of my first characters, a night elf hunter. I was in 6th grade. Simpler times and so much damn nostalgia from this music, reminds me of the old wrath themed launcher as well.
I do love the dynamic roaming camera shots, but this is still very elegant and polished. I wouldn't fret about it were I you.
Thank you, that's comforting to hear.
20 years ago, I was starting here with my first charachter, an Elf priest... Sooo many memories. The music... The location... God 😢
so we are old now, huh...
God I remember being so damn young, like 10 or under young, and just running aimlessly through Teldrassil because Night Elf Druid was my first roll. I’ve always found Teldrassil the most beautiful imo. Nostalgia galore. Now i’ve got student bills to pay and no more membership. 💔
I still remember my first day in WoW. I created night elf druid named Randomizer. I wasn't doing quests, I was just walking around and was being amazed by all of those people around me. Wolrd seemed so huge and strange. I was beautiful, I regret it will never come back :). It was really beautiful time (I was 12 YO I think), and each afternoon and evening, right after coming back from school, I joined to WoW and was exploring. It's pitty, that classic WoW doesn't have this "magic" anymore, everybody is too goal oriented.
First Ashenvale and Darkshore by the Cataclysm, then Val'sharah by the Emerald Nightmare, now this. _Give the night elves a break!_
MegaChickenfish unfortunately Blizzard is determined to shit on the night elves all the time to satisfy the boner they and all the WoW vloggers/fans have for the Horde
🙄
@@OneTrueVikingbard You're joking? Tyrande, Malfurion and Ilidan are so overused by now. And they're giving night elves more things + lore.
Even void elves and Nightborne have more things now than blood elves - which are actually being shited on by Blizz, so gtfo with your crying. I'm an alliance too mate but pulling shit from your ass just makes us look bad.
Jin the banana from the left open your eyes. The Alliance faction leaders don’t get more than a cursory character development, unless they’re Varian or Anduin: Velen, Malfurion and Jaina were dragged through the mud in Legion (and Mists of Pandaria), the dwarves don’t get much of anything at all, they brought Mechatorque into the limelight in BfA only to kill him off, and Greymane hasn’t had anything more substantial than “leading from the front” since Cataclysm.
Meanwhile, the Horde lost Cairne and Vol’jin and Thrall was dragged through the mud starting with Mists of Pandaria: all their other characters are either being shoved into our faces (Sylvanas, Lorthemar, and a certain stuckup nightbourne) or being ignored (Ji, like Asa: thank the light). We know more about Orcs, Nightbourne, the forsaken, the goblins, and the horde allied races than we do conversely about almost every alliance race (I guess Blizzard decided not to give any serious development to their most popular race, the humans, because they’re favoring the Alliance? Give me a break!)
@@JustAChinesePleb No, he/she is right. Look at all the places the nelves have lost. Started with Cata: The Park in Stormwind, some area in Stonetalon, Auberdine destroyed, parts of Ashenvale, Cenarion Hold in Legion, now Teldrassil destroyed and its citizens genocided. The only reason Blizz brings up Tyrande and Malf is to humiliate and make fun of them, depict them as idiots. Blizzard has a HUGE hate boner for nelves, idk why.
Nelves are the 2nd most popular Alliance race by a very large margin but Blizz treats them as though they were an NPC faction.
My night elf grew up here. This was always my all time favorite area, not just for the ambience, it is beautiful, mysterious, and scary all at the same time. Even when I would leave this area to explore other areas, I still came back. I found my first guild here. I made a few friends here.
Thank you for this video!!!
15 years ago when I was 8y.o, I first created my first ever character a night elf druid, I can literally remember every part of that journey.
Teldrassil will always be in our heart, Teldrassil is our home.
Thanks for all the great memories.
Same, I was so little when I created my night elf hunter, but I still remember everything😢
You can't go home again, but you can hope that when you close your eyes for the last time as a human, that you open them again to this music, and say, like I did on my first RP toon on a re-roll, "I had such a terrible dream!"
What is it with WoW? Everything about it seeps into your mind subconsciously. The music, the sayings, the incredible artwork. Still get misty when Voljin dies. The game is a true masterpiece and will be ingrained in my DNA forever.
Back in 2004 I was 11 years old, and that's when I took my first steps into the vast and mysterious World of Warcraft. I was a hunter in a massive forest, not knowing what lie beyond this elven landscape, but I loved every moment of my time there. Slowly, I learned that I was in fact inside of a massive tree- a haven to the night elves. Bewildered, I opened my map- I could only dream of what else existed in this now seemingly enormous world. When I grew in strength and mustered up the courage, I finally embarked on my journey outside of my home. Then I accidentally took the wrong boat in Darkshore and got my ass handed to me by some crocodile in the Wetlands. Anyway, RIP Teldrassil, we'll all miss you :')
2006 I made my first toon NE Hunter and immediately fell in love with WoW it helped me through very troubled times and it’s probably the reason I am here writing this today
Glad your still here. ❤️
First time when I played WoW I played as a Night Elf, it was on Christmas. I was walking around, exploring that purple world, it was awsome. Then my first boat to Darkshore, was something that I will never forget
RIP Teldrassil, you will be missed :/
Fantastic.
First EVER character in live vanilla - a night elf druid. Still with me to this day fighting in LEGION. :)
I was playing Guild Wars at the time when World of Warcraft was released and I heavily contemplated giving it a try, but the monthly fee was holding me back. Eventually I got too curious and ended up going for it despite the fees, and made a night elf hunter as my first character. The only MMORPG experience for me being Guild Wars, a game with hidden walls and no ability to jump, made the freedom of movement really astounding. I spent the first hour or two on just jumping on things and trying to climb the hills of the starting area before even trying to hit monsters or accepting a quest. The movement was just so fluid and the night elf characters did a front flip jump animation from time to time, I just couldn't get over how cool it all was. Good times.
haha I had exactly same annoyances with guild wars (jump, invisible walls, cant climb mountains etc) and why I prefered wow, even though gw was amazing. it's weird to think about, as such things don't annoy me at all anymore, but as a kid these restrictions definitely were a big deal for me haha. I guess I just really liked exploring, I still do, but now if a game just doesn't have x part of the game then I just focus on the interesting parts the game does have instead of wishing it was something else haha.
I'm sitting on a roof in Lor'danel, on my DK, staring at the tree, playing this video.
I know we'll be able to go back to it but I am seriously gonna miss this place. :/
I can't believe the Horde is going to burn this beautiful and enchanting place :( why blizz why
Lindstromize qqq
. n.
s vb
They already destroyed Darkshore. Now they're destroying this too? WTF?
beacuse Blizzard always supports Horde, and Alliance gets everything the worst
Vanilla WoW Teldrassil questing was the most immersive, peaceful zone in the entire game, and this music is still relaxing and reminiscent of hours spent here. I know I'm not the only one who felt totally enraptured doing these quests for years.
My first WoW character was a night elf named "Epicnightelf" on Trollbane server that I shared with my brother. I remember the night we hit level 40. Hit 40 in Arathi then saw some level 70 and asked him for gold so we can get a mount. He said "If you're so epic why don't you have gold?". We sat there and next thing you know he opened trade and gave us the gold we needed. It was a school night and we weren't even supposed to be up. Downstairs on the family PC absolutely losing our fucking minds riding a nightsaber around Darnassus. Shoutout to Zenyson, Gargonos, and Hylandshunter.
great memories :D
It's 25 August 2019. WoW classic comes out tomorrow. We're coming home.
It's March 2020, coronavirus is killing people and classic is dead
@@alee8685 negative nancy!
@@supersaiyanzero386 2021 sadly he is right..
I remember when i saw those big walking trees, that's when i knew, this is my favourite place :D
I remember this place from the first time playing WoW, never had such a strong feeling in a game so far... good memories.
My first WOW character back in the beginning was a Night Elf, when i hear this music it transports me to that magical time when it was all new and so incredibly exciting. Those times can never happen again but the music takes your heart back for a fleeting moment and it's exhilarating; thanks for posting.
Such relaxing music, with the night elves, my favorite race, in one of my favorite places in World of Warcraft.
Welp, now that this place is a pile of ashes ... no more of this ambience and music, thanks Sylvanas!
This place was my first experience with WoW I remember... back in WoTLK
Looking back on my gaming history, I think discovering Teldrassil for the first time was my favourite moment by far. I've been playing Warcraft 2 and 3 for many years before WoW, and being able to really get inside that world was magical. Even today, whenever I make a new night elf character, it still hits me. The atmosphere of vanilla WoW is unmatched to this day.
My first ever character was a Night Elf and logging in the first time and just seeing this massive starting area just threw me in awe. My best experience ever playing this game was being a noob... Being able to hear the music and see and explore this starting zone for the first time was the most magical experience i've had in this game.... I will always miss being a noob in WoW.
I discovered WoW 14 years ago after my high school friends got me into it, I was 13 years old and this was my first proper PC game, my first multiplayer experience. I remember the being mezmerised that those were *actual people* running around on my screen. It really did feel like another world. The nostalgia is so powerful it's heart wrenching. Have to fight back tears thinking about it.
Why is it always my favorite Nelf zones that get fucked up? First Auberdine, now Teldrassil and Darnassus?!
I'm gonna actually cry, I remember my first character was a Nelf hunter I named Waterbird when I was five. I'd go around just picking Peaceblooms and Silverleaves for hours...
Auberdine and the others deserved better.
This is my favorite piece of music from the game (I even sleep to it).
I drag all my Ally toons thru this zone. No exceptions. My 1st Toon was a Night Elf Hunter. Thank you so much for posting this.
Elune be praised!
I miss Teldrassil already.
Andu-falah-dor, let balance be restored. The enemies of the forest will soon know the wrath of the Kaldorei as never before.
--A night elf rper nerd.
I love this one!
Yep, this music hurts my soul. Nostalgia. In the past, as a child, I had nothing to fear or worry about. I had everything és everyone I needed. I had fun playing this game, more than anything that time. If only I could relive those moments as a whole.. only for a minute..
Thanks Blizzard and Music composers, developers, you made something unspeakable.
Aaahhh Teldrassil
This is the most memorable and favourite of all the WoW music for me. This video is a pure nostalgia food for me.
same. Even beats Grizzly Forest.
Favorite race, favorite zones and music!
2:56 This part made all the memories flood back in...My first ever wow character was a night elf rogue named Danush, i was barely 10 years old and didnt even know how to use a keyboard correctly yet, since this was my first ever game. My Dad is the one who introduced me to WoW (against my mothers wishes lol). I used to watch him raid for hours but when i turned 10 he finally let me make my own character and i was pretty much hooked right then and there. Its the only interest that my dad and i ever shared when he was still around.
Im turning 25 and man, what i wouldnt give to go back to being 10 again even if only for a moment.
Same story of mine! I started with a rogue night elf named Arnaur after seeing my father raiding for hours in black temple. I was only 9
Same story.. I had a NE Rogue as well. I was 25 when this came out.. lol.. so I knew how to use a keyboard.. but still.. ohh.. the memories.
Was a night elf warrior upon arriving in azeroth for the first time. Took me days to level and leave teldrassil. For the first day i just ran around and explored. Thought the entire game was set in this zone. Then out of curiosity i figured out I could open a bigger map instead of looking at my on screen mini map. Then I found out you could zone out, and out. Was blown away with excitement and the thrill for adventure to explore more of the world. Being a noob in wow during vanilla was some of the greatest times and memories of my life.
What brings you here?
Nostalgia :)
"Who you be?" oh shit wait thats troll
Del-Nadres..
memories :3
Me not that kind of Orc.
This is one of my favourite places in all of WoW. I love Teldrassil very much, the whole area gives me so much when I am there. It is magical and even though it also holds a lot of sadness, I think, it is also a very calm place. It hurts me so much that Teldrassil will burn down in the new expansion. I wish it didn't have to - I even contacted the support in game and expressed my sadness and anger about this, but they didn't get back to me about it. What's done is done. I just hope it will be able to heal and hopefully come back one day.
Your ambience videos are so wonderful. I love the ones you have from WoW and Skyrim - and this one is one of my absolute favourites. Thank you for creating such magic. ~
My 1st character, Night Elf warrior back in 2007.........i could listen to this music everyday
The first of these vids is one of the best but man does this one resonate. Started out as a NE in 2005 and this, holy crap it feels like home.
Great job. I love this. It helps many people to feel more relaxed and sleep.
Night elves for the win
I remember back in the day when the elves would come in 2 pair to ORG and completely wreck the city. back when we used to invade cities. Good times. Always has a place in my heart! Thanks!
I legit cried for an hour when I saw the cemematic of Teldrassil under attack
So much nostalgia. I remember first playing world of Warcraft when I was about 15. My first character was a Night elf in the trial. Then I bought the game soon after and became hooked. Even though the game messed up my life in many ways, I still don't completely regret the experiences I've had within the game.
My 1st char ever was a night elf hunter on Agamaggan back in 07. I meticulously explored this entire area rummaging through all its little caves, hills, and even the dreadful druid dens where I would and probably still could get lost in. I remember finding those out the way to those spots where you could actually jump off the tree. One of them had a named satyr that I always thought was some secret npc. And finding out this massive forest was all inside one massive tree had my little mind explode. Darkshore and Ashenvale are probably in my opinion some of the best starting classic zones ever along with Redridge mountains and the Barrens. Truth is almost every zone in this game absolutely 'wow' me. What I would do to be able to explore this game again like I did 15 years ago.
15:45 is so beautiful. The long notes are just so powerful.
my home Forrest :) dang...so long Time ago..thats 11 years now...wooohooo...thx for all ur vids...subbed insta as i discovered them...greets from Germany..keep up the great Work!!
I was hooked then and there. This makes me remember playing night elves together with my best friend on starter accounts while talking over the phone. I was 11 and when I was alone I got so immersed I always thought up a story for my character while exploring the forests. School might have sucked but I always got to come home to playing WoW. It was the most amazing thing growing up.
5:28
My first character in Vanilla was a Night Elf Rogue. This music is one of the biggest reasons it sucked me in so hard.
The music is so beautiful and hauntingly sorrowful. I remember starting out as a Night Elf Hunter, trying to figure out how to play the game... and then being amazed that all this takes place on a tree... and then being surprised there is so, so much more to explore beyond!
Every time. Every time i listen to this i drop a few tears. Wow. 16 years, just passed. From the lvl 1 warrior in 2006 to the guy who doesnt even play anymore because blizzard destroyed the game. Still love this. And will never forget. Best times.
You're not alone. Trust me. So many of us come here to remember the times when we filled the Phials and the crazzzy quest in the Den. Never alone.
the whole night elf area was all the way on the other side of the map. not many other players leveled up there and just left to go to SW or IF... it was deserted but it was oddly, peaceful. felt like it was lost in time. so fucking nostalgic.
Thank you for these videos. World of Warcraft was a time and a place for me that has long since passed, but I'll always enjoy its outrageously epic music.
playing this in classic way back when, was one of my last good memories in my entire life, my life was so forfilling and fun and free back then, even though I was bullied to all hell, and my parents constantly fought, my mother being absolutely cruel, none of that ever bothered me back then, I was content, whole, and alive. and now im older my soul has died, and I feel nothing but emptiness, dispair and anxiety...forever. so this music makes me cry, because it casts my mind back, reminding me what ive lost so long ago, how really, I died at 11 and my still walking corpse is around now.
Crying about the new expansion
Don't worry.. First they must learn to crawl before they can learn to fall standing up.
This is def home for me i Will Always Love the elven nature and music thank you so much !!
This was my favorite zone music. So melodical, so sweet, even sad. I loved to walk around just like that, for the atmosphere of it. ❤❤❤
Love this so much ! I didn`t even notice the camera was not moving - I didn`t think about it..though that is really neat when you want to put up if you wanna look at it..but when I work I just need music,mostly - and from time to time I look at video,depends on what Im doing. However - all these are much appreciated. I love how detailed they are and how they blend together fantastically. I wish we had Ebon hold music as well - with those male vocals,same as we hear in DK order hall...those are spectacular..
I was actually planning a series of music+ambience videos from each and every Order Hall but without the moving shots it would look abysmal. I was thinking of substituting Ebon Hold video with DK Order Hall one since it's basically Ebon Hold 2.0.
I also tend to delete my characters after reaching level cap and don't feel like spending money on boosts, so that's another problem.
First zone for me! A classic.
Amazing music and an amazing place- so many memories in this place for me. I started my very first character, and still my main, a night elf druid in July 2005. So sad to see this mightly tree go! Awesome vid by the way, and thanks for uploading this!
Teldrassil always had the best music, sound effects and visuals. This zone personifies the entire mmo experience.
The nostalgia from back in the days... Im trying to sleep and this works like a charm.. Litterally letting a tear go of the happy toughs thank you so much!
So many good memories, still have my old WoW screenshot folder of pics from when WoW was first released in Europe all the way up to mid cataclysm before I stopped. I'll never miss this music or the wonderful starting area Teldrassil as I rolled my Nelf rogue. I think of all my stories and memories from this game and imagine how many millions of others just like me have equally fun and unique stories to tell. Nostalgia yo, feels goodman.
People cancelled their subscription & left WOW over what happened to Teldrassil. Activision Blizzard really going to shit.
Teldrassil amazing Music & beautiful introduction to WOW no more 😢

Played a NE druid called Puoltas since beta. This was always my favourite place. So many good memories. Never had such a feeling of home in any other game.
Nostalgic as ever! First toon ever created was when the game first released in 2004, 10 years old at the time. Made a Night Elf male Hunter named Oceanwise. Played with my mom back then. Great times.
I play wow for 3 months, but i love this game so much
My first character was a night elf hunter, nice memories, so much nostalgia.
