Looks a lot more interesting than the current one. I wish they had kept the older versions in a way. Even if not as a group dungeon, as an area you could enter, explore and fight with mobs after completing a secret quest (chain).
And even this one is the easy Scholomance compared to the first months in 2004. There were atleast 2x more trashmobs around in every room. I remember entering RattleGore's room for the first time and the place was littered with mobs.
It's weird to see the same rooms but place in a different order. I never did Vanilla Scholomance but it looks cooler than the actual version. It'a for now quicker to do but still..
+Wowmusicable Oh man I did this instance so many times for the epic staff, and it never dropped. And my good this run could take so long if you did not have a some what decent groupe.
Am I the only one who spotted difference on geography? After 10:06 he is heading south from VIEWING ROOM for the Lich boss. However in new scholomance this room has changed to HEADMASTER'S STUDY which is supposed to be east of the VIEWING ROOM. They totally fcked the instance in each category.
Damn this place was hard. Wipe so many times. And when i was doing my paladin quest, i forgott the damn item that you need to get the horse. Was so pissed.
Its almost impossible for me not to curse the developers every 5 seconds every time I watch this video. It was so much bigger. had more loot. More content. More fun. Why in the name of everything that makes sense... would you strip away content, replace it with a fraction of what it was, and finally remove the loot and bring back bits of the dungeon as freaking pay to win Looms. As a vanilla player I both love this video to death...but is so sad by watching it due to missing the hell out of this place. God fucking damnit, Hazzikostas. Why...
I wouldn't know anything about that, and your statement about nepotism can be discussed. I dont know what he did to get the position but if he is good for the game then who cares what his background is. Personally I'm more worried about the creative mindset of people than what they used to do for a living in the past.
nirvgorilla Im not disagreeing. Lately things have been abysmal and Blizzard have been doing their own thing rather than listening to fans. I like to believe they are intending to do better with legion ( Call is a last chance) Time shall tell. On another note: I wouldn't mind flying got removed. IT destroyed the game if you ask me.
wonder how long it be untill blizz adds a ''ohh your gear score is na na or your 20 lvls above recomendation of the dung..heres a outo win button press for reward''
I loved the old Scholomance, so much memories, just the good old times and the old design was sooo scary and really fitted in. Just as you imagine an old fallen castle infested by undead and hosted by the Barov Family. I loved killing this family. Alexei Barov and Dr. Krastinov.. And that doors.. its been cut out today but it sounded so chilling the squeel when you open the doors. Or that door to the Lich Boss, don''t know his name, maybe Ras Frostwhisper? And the door slam shut, good to play in a dark room with a good sound on and you feel shitting your pants lol. But the new design of Scholomance is more kiddie style and lost its magic completely.
well for one the level and difficulty difference, also needed a key to get in and a lot of the bosses were long chain quests which made them extremely rare
***** i think it was always a 5 man but blizzard had a FFA approach to zones so you could wield a raid force any size you wanted. You could bring 40 people if you really wanted to in the very early days. I was on at least one 40 man strat "raid" but people were cheesing that beyond what they expected so they nerfed it to 10 man max, and then finally forced people to do it 5 man the way it was intended, but they did nerf the difficulty because it was overtuned for the average skill/gear of the player base.
They're completely safe, noone can track you down and btw Private Servers are allowed, nothing illegal anymore. Check out www worldofcorecraft com Will be released soon, I've waited for this Private Server for almost 2 years now, will be epic [2.4.3 TBC]
You either need to own the Skeleton Key or be a Rogue to simply lockpick the front door. You can even get yourself killed near the entrance and walk through it as a ghost.
I lost track of the amount of Paladins, I helped with their Epic Mount quest in that place. Good times, I loved to help out other players. I ended up being the Go-To guy for Paladins :-p
Is there a real video of the original scholomance, I mean with a team of 5 people struggling to get through it? Whatching this dude do every mob and boss in 1-3 hit is not the way I remember it.

They did it! Blizz brought back the original instance to revisit in 10.1.5 🤩
With recipes for mogs!

This guy saw the future!

back when there was still a journey, and not just a new expansion to go through.
Ah, back when dungeons weren't five minutes long with brats shrieking GOGOGOGO the whole way. I miss that.

Samuel Phénix It was much much better than the new version.
+Wowmusicable Oh man I did this instance so many times for the epic staff, and it never dropped. And my good this run could take so long if you did not have a some what decent groupe.
Oh boy the lore behind this dungeon, Caer Darrow and the Barov family - terrifying but soo epic at the same time!
Thank you for not adding annoying music.

"...that damn staff NEVER dropped...."
+EC X (ECX) It NEVER ever FUCKING dropped.
Thank you so very much for saving the beauty of WoW when it still existed.
I still have the Sawbones Shirt that dropped from one of the bosses here... always wear it :)
Damn this place was hard. Wipe so many times. And when i was doing my paladin quest, i forgott the damn item that you need to get the horse. Was so pissed.
This was my favorite Vanilla instance! I was so sad when they changed it. I honestly do not understand why they felt the need to change it.
Never got rid of my staff of metanoia since 2011 and now it’s the only thing I have to prove that I ran through old scholomance before the revamp.

God fucking damnit, Hazzikostas. Why...
Because Ion is a fucking LAWYER. He isn't a goddamned game developer. Nepotism is killing Blizzard and they're DUMB.
nirvgorilla Lawyer? He's a lead game designer and Assistant Game Director, sir.
James Salvatore
His background is LAWYER. He was never a game designer. He was just given the position. That's called nepotism.
I wouldn't know anything about that, and your statement about nepotism can be discussed. I dont know what he did to get the position but if he is good for the game then who cares what his background is.

just remembered how 10 man Scholo was Epic
wonder how long it be untill blizz adds a ''ohh your gear score is na na or your 20 lvls above recomendation of the dung..heres a outo win button press for reward''
all of it doesn't change

The Lich was indeed Ras Frostwhisper.
Can anyone else hear the heart beat?
how do i get in the old scholomance? i need the shoulders from Kirtonos the Herald :(
You can't, though you can probably go to AH and find the old gear from there.
not quite the original but pretty much yeah
well for one the level and difficulty difference, also needed a key to get in and a lot of the bosses were long chain quests which made them extremely rare
or a warlock ^^ my point is that is that it wasn't quite the original because of the difficulty

@@olafurhh03 This dude? It’s me!
How come none of the bosses have voices?
Trying to work out what race and gender the character is... great vid by the way
I was so stoked to see scholo as a heroic but I thought they would keep it the same just heroic, silly me
They even added a map? Sigh...
Çok özledim wow u
Too bad that headpiece is only for NPC’s.
