As we all know, all elves die when the rain stops.
Its 2004. Its friday. You just came home from school. You wonder whats for dinner. Dad is ordering pizza. You boot up WoW on your PC and you got nothing but time. The music starts. Adventure awaits. Life was good.
life was perfect back then indeed
Mac n cheese 4 dinner
Lol you had a lot of free time back then. I prefer now
That one hurt
"You wonder whats for dinner. Dad is ordering pizza." So... sounds like it's Pizza?
the older i get the more i realise how hard life is. seriously, wish i could turn back time when i played this game and everything was magic and fine..
I'm older and wow helped me pass difficult times when I was young. I wish I can turn back time to experience wow like I was young though :-)
that would be wonderful!
I still play.
I feel you
CryptogenicY2Kill well said we need to escape again
"ishnu alah"
"May the Stars guide you"
"I am listening"
"My goods are of the highest quality"
my goods are of the highest quality ...
"Feel free to browse"
Ishnu dal-dieb
"Ahh, the great outdoors!"
"I gOt wHaT YoU nEEd!!"
16:25 hearing this song as 14 year old for the first time while running around that island.. damn man. Take me back, take me back to a time before the money, the bullshit, the rush, the deadlines, the work, the expectations. Back to a time when my grandparents were still alive, back to when everything was just a-okay.
This music brings back so many memories. Thank you for this.
Hi. This hit me. Feel you on this one.
I personally dream of even having time to play on weekends with her. We're both studying. I'm studying while also working a full time job as an intern. I don't even have time to see her, let alone play with her. But I'd be happy with all the work, the effort, the rush and the stress if I could spend time with her regularly running around the world of Warcraft.
You can do it again you just have to believe
:'(
@@norielsylvire4516 You'll get that time, friend. Don't give up, it'll be there and gone before you know it. Make the best of things, and never give up! Good lyck, friend.
I listen to this every night at bedtime. I miss these days. It was like we lived inside this world. Beautiful place.
same
so true 💜
agreed 100%
I miss it so much 😢
There are times I take my toons to the night elf lands, and even Pandaria just to walk around looking at the scenery and listening to the music even if I am not in game... Now I found this..... It makes for a good day!
I am now officially 25 years old. I was only 10 or 11 when my older brother got us 2 separate accounts.
I can't help but get emotional. Those were the days, weren't they?
Playing with your brother... jealous :)
My brothers never showed interested in the game, but my best friend did. So I got lucky after all, but still awesome to play with your brother.
Salutations! :)
Meisio
I was 34 when I first played WoW as a Nelf Hunter. Don't worry you have a whole life ahead of you and a long way to go before you need to say "those were the days" brother.
The music alone brings tears to eyes
I feel u. In my case it was my Dad actually😅 my first Char was a Nightelf Hunter - i quit WoW after TBC tho.
I'm 29 and my brother got me into the game about half a year back :D
im sorry, i have played many many many different mmos and NOTHING ever comes close to Teldrassil or the night elf territory. It is absolutely the most fantasy looking beautiful place ever. nobody has come close to making anything look and feel like this place does in any game.
I stopped buying upgrades just so they wouldn't burn Tendrassil down.
DynaCentral Yeah, that’s cool and all, but sylvanas burned it to a crisp. Time to step up, baby.
Everquest 2 Kelethin starting zone.
@@DraxonTehWarrior may she rot in hell
DynaCentral burn the tree , I'll love it 🔥🌱👏😆
I remember finally figuring my way off the island and realizing that was only a small part of the game
this was so me also..
Same , it was mind blowing when I went through the portal. I didn't know I could quest and get rep in other places. We were noobs then🤣
I had this with Northshire Valley. I finished all the quests there and then figured since it's an RPG I'd grind on the mobs for gear and xp until I "felt strong enough" to move to the next zone. Until suddenly out of nowhere a Night Elf appeared and asked me why I'm killing mobs there at my level. He quickly showed me the way out and brought me to Goldshire. Where he then told me about the faraway land of Darnassus..
A huge tree lol the best is goin up and jumpin off the waterfall and almost fall for a 1 min lol
I'd seen Ironforge in videos, so at level 9 I set off from Teldrassil and ran all the way there. Took the boat to Wetlands and RAN lol. Sometimes people stopped, asked what I was doing and would help me by killing mobs in my way.
I levelled from 9-15 just by "discovering zones" on the way lol. Finally found Ironforge! Then I explored / quested Dun Morogh and Loch Mod as an early game night elf.
Please invent a time-machine - port me back when I installed this game.
Working in it! Hopefully it will be more successful than the Draenor portal ;-)
The times when I gemmed intellect and stamina on my warrior. And my talents were 71/0/0
remember how you fell from the tower you had to go up to get a quest?
Back in Vanilla alpha literally the first place I ran to look at was Ashenvale and then Teldrassil. The forests were so majestic.
I wish we all could experience this once more :). We'll always have our good memories of this amazing time
I remember creating my first character ever. A night elf rogue!
Thank you for sharing your memories Brian. I hope you come back in Vanilla and play with me / us. :)
Salutations,
Meisio
Me tooo ... feels...
same here
First toon...night elf druid .......
Like my best friend while we leveled until 60. Later, I think since MoP or even earlier, I'm playing a main druid. :-)
I started in vanilla, I am now in my 50s nothing I've played since has felt more like home that Teldrassil. I miss this place SO much! 😕
You can still install the vanilla version
I started in vanilla... I miss those days. =( Here I am at 35...wishing I could go back before smart phones and when LAN cafes were the shit.
35 here, and I still have flashbacks of the old Night Elf exclusive guild I led all the way through TBC
42, same. Let's build a village deep in the forest
play Wrath classic
You never realize how much the music made an impact until you listen to it when you're older and can sit back and reminisce thinking about the old days. My first toon was a nelf Hunter and spent hours running around in tedrassil listening to the music
Same. NElf Hunter. Eventually settled on Warrior because Elune needed hard-heads to stand in front so the Hunters could get the job done. In this I have no regrets though I bear a thousand deaths for my people I would rise for a thousand more.
Novelty's a bitch; you never get that same moment of rapturous awareness twice. Nostalgia's a lying bitch because it's never the same going back. But none of that means it was not and is not still beautiful.
@@Beretta249 dang bruh getting deep over here
Same
I can even remember the smell of my parents office while i was wrapped in a blanket playing my night elf rogue figuring it all out with a party of strangers.
I close my eyes and I can see young me questing Teldrassil. You have brought great memories to an old Vanilla player.
I will NEVER forget my first time logging into vanilla WoW with my night elf warrior.
This music started playing. I had no idea how this zone would completely change the way I game and my life as a whole. Brilliant all around.
Night Elf warrior , poor bloke lol 1 month after the official release of WoW I entered the world as a Druid .
I jumped in in BC and rolled a NElf warrior, too! I had not idea what I was doing, I didnt know anyone that played and just went for it. In today's min/max culture it probably wasnt a great choice, but you know what? I had the time of my life (gaming-wise) in this zone. And the music...such a nostalgia trip. Almost brings a tear to the eye!
Jesus christ what fucking nostlgia and memories. Had a sudden need and craving out of nowhere to hear this and listen; even fire up WoW and create a new NE character. God dam guys, its something amazing when you can scroll down thousands of comments and see all of us saying the exact same things; how bad we miss this fucking time in our life and first experience with this game/zone.
When I die, I want to go to Teldrassil or Eversong Woods....
Elf addiction? I have just a night elf addiction :-)
I'd rather be in Darnassus
@@Meisio me 2
News flash: Teldrassil burned to ash a few years ago. Try the emerald dream or ardenweald
@@christopherchuauhang4829 I’m assuming they know since the comment is from a year ago and that happened 2 years ago.
I wish I could be teleported into Teldrassil and live the rest of my life there.
Jesus said: heaven has many mansions. Believe me, if it weren't so, I wouldn't have told you.
@@MichaelsPaintingChannel Agreed sometimes I have to sign out of WOW and work for the real reward. Most of my toons are named that of the Christian belief in hopes it opens up conversations that could lead people to the true Master. Jesus.
Это был июнь 2010 года, обновление 3.3.5, брат моего отца предложил мне пособирать травы в Элвинском лесу на своем аккаунте, и я бегал около двух часов собирая мироцвет. Живописные пейзажи, успокаивающая музыка, шум NPC -- все это создало приятную атмосферу. В скором времени и я решил присоединиться к этому сообществу, и вот я уже ночной эльф-друид 15 уровня делаю квесты в Вестфоле. Первая встреча со случайными для прохождения подземелья. Первая гильдия. Первый статик. Затем новое дополнение и я уже в роли рейд-лидера. Никаких забот, кроме школы, школьных друзей и этой потрясающей игры. Жаль, что превратился в деда, который стал говорить, что с каждым дополнением все хуже, но несмотря на это продолжил играть до конца MoP. В голове картинка, а в ушах музыка с этого видео. Ишну'ала.
Ive been going through a hard time recently and have fallen back into wow as my safe place. During a particularly bad day a couple days ago, on the tip screen that pops up, it said “if you ever find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not feel troubled, for you are home, in Azeroth.” It truly is my second home
6:58 I love this song. It reminds me of my cat who passed away not long after I started playing wow in 2006. I was already playing a night elf hunter, so I tamed a tabby-looking night stalker cat in Teldrassil, and he's lived on as my buddy ever since.
🥺🥺hope you’re doing good, that’s so beautiful
I hope you still have him
@@elfo7 me too!
I just can't describe the feeling I get when I hear this but it is the same feeling I got when I first heard it. It takes me to a place not even of this earth, so peaceful. My heart seems to burst with good feeling.
I hear you. Listening to the first melodies of Teldrassil almost 12 years ago brings back a flood of some of the best moments in my life. WoW wasn't just a game back then, it was another full world, full of amazing experiences, and these tunes like you said allow me to relive it.
@ yeah somehow I get what you mean. If I hear these sounds I am happy but at the same time I feel like something is not quite right and I get sad...
@ in 23 day u can revive
Same here. 100% it feels like its a real place.
Ive taken lsd and meditated at 2 am in the pinch dark of my room & convinced myself i was a night elf.
It was fantastic.
Once in a great while , when I need to have some peace late at night....I will make a night elf just to level in this zone and listen to the music have a adult beverage and just remember the magic that got me hooked on this game.
start playing on 2005 with my brother for almost 9 to 10 years .. always passing tedrassil just wanted to listen the musics,, kinda miss the old days when RAID with all my friends and had fun together. now i am 40 this year.. havent been play it but keep update the WOW game. my char is still there just want to have a look at them how i spent that time playing the game,,thank you
I am so grateful I got to play vanilla back in the day and that my first character was a night elf rogue. I absolutely loved Teldrassil, the look of it, the music and ambience, I didnt want to leave and continue leveling somewhere else. The song at 1:18 is my favorite song in all of wow, I would always stop and listen because I was afraid of moving to far away and the music would change to something else.
Same. Started in December of 2004, just a couple of weeks after release. My first roll was a Night Elf and this music here brings me back to that time period instantly. The game, my life, my relationship at the time. I'm 38 and I still can't let go of the nostalgia I feel for true vanilla. Best game ever.
My first character? A Night Elf priest named Aidan. Ahhhh....I miss her!
SIGH. A night elf druid was my FIRST ever character and I remember longing in and hearing this music... exploring the tree... finding the branches and the edges... entering the Barrow Dens.... Ahhhhh. Please hurry WoW Classic! ❤
Yes, hurry, but not too much if the game is not ready, right? We don't want more unfinished work :-)
Hey Katherine! :-)
@@Meisio Wellll, good point. :^ But maybeeee another sneak peak like before. Hellloooo! 💗
My sense of direction was so bad, I remember getting lost in the Barrow Dens 😄 My bf would get so mad, it was so obvious to him.
FIrst character: Nightelf Hunter. I had no clue what kind of emotions and memories this game would create for me on that day.
I remember seeing first horde player on a pve server at darkshore, I shadowmelded and he laughed at me. Teldrassil was like an unreachable comfort zone and there was a vast world to discover beyond it. No other starting location resembled Teldrassil.
This music, ambience and environment are why I have played with so many Night Elf characters.
The moment I hear it... I feel like I have finally returned home after years of wandering in some wasted outlands...
The memories... The old friends that I've lost to the time... My lovely alligator pet that every guide was labeling as a bad pet choice.... I miss it all... But Not even WoW Classic have a power to return those times even if the game is back.
Ah, that beautiful music playing, and in the back ground, ever so faint, the shout of a low level Male Night Elf Rogue dying.
I will never forget the magic of exploring Teldrassil for the first time as a Druid, it feels like yesterday.. I so wish I could relive it all again..
I got more sense of accomplishment in wow than I did in real life.
this song helped me so much through my liver transplant. i had this on replay for like 2 weeks while i was barely conscious stuck in the hospital. now when i listen to it it has more meaning to me, and brings a small tear when i run back to the starter zones. to me, this is the best song in world of warcraft.
Good health, long life Drew!
So you are the guy whos hogging all the livers huh? Isnt 7 enough?!
The feelings of nostalgia that this music gives me, breaks my heart and mends it at the same time.
NE Druid, here. I met the love of my life playing this game, hearing this soundtrack. A thousand thanks for this.
Did you marry her? ❤
First character, female night elf priest 😔 good ol’ days.
Night elf warrior here! In hindsight maybe not the best choice, but I had literally no idea what I was doing.
That nostalgic feeling of leveling up a new night elf. As much as I try to go back and play again it is not the same. It makes me sad that those days have gone. But I will always keep the spirit alive by enjoying its music, cinematics, and I also collect WoW merchandise (clothes, action figures, etc) to always remember the best times of my youth. Videos like this always makes me happy.
This place & music makes me jealous as a Horde player. I'd sneak between the boats to here and Azuremyst Isle often, making friends with Ally starters while trying not to get killed lol
It's fixed now in the upcoming patch! Nothing to be jealous at anymore! Sorry for the dark joke! :)
I was an Alliance player at that time and I was doing the same on The Barrens. Sitting on _Shadowmeld_ near a tree or on top of the mountains, from time to time seeing a player on his way and hoping I will not get spotted :)
@ meh, 3/10 trying way too hard. Try "Sylvanus did nothing wrong" next time.
This was where I first started and did not a ANY clue about the game ...must have spent a few days wandering this area leveling and trying to do quests without ever buying or upgrading my spells lol getting my ass kicked over and over again until someone invited me to a group ...we did a few quests and split up again and I was back to getting my ass kicked ... until I grouped with a girl who showed me the score ... never looked back then :)
Like most of us :) I remember dying a lot in that spider cave (Shadowthread Cave). And I used to play that much in the following weeks that I had the feeling I can shoot arrows with a bow in the real life :)
THAT cave ...but what I also remember was the first time wandering into Darnassus and seeing the huge tree thing outside and this massive city ...was very wondrous to me at the time
Now extrapolate this story to life.... You dicked around cluelessly, never really 'upgraded' your life skills but met some people and life suddenly got a lot easier. You get older, lose sight of people but one day you meet someone special... And they help you level up permanently. Game of life :)
Meisio that cave still haunts me...kids these days will never understand how hard the hunter life used to be....k i am only 19 myself but i‘ve been playing for like 12 years now and hunting with counted arrows and no pet THAT cave was hell on earth in BC q.q
Night Elf druid was my first character.. I will never forget the feeling I had when I first created her and then logged in. The music, the world.. it was like I was living in there. Oh those times... its been so many years, I feel old!
I've listened to this every night for like 2 years. I'm probably responsible for half of the views on this video. Lol. Love it. It's my favorite area on wow.
Thank you for watching :D
Pretty sure I am responsible for a good chunk of the other have. I let it roll when I'm at work!
i teared up listenting to this. Man this brought my whole childhood back... Good times man. its truly sad how far blizzard has falllen.
When I first set eyes on the great tree as a NE Rogue.. I knew I was seeing something so special. I will never forget my time in wow. I will never forget the countless memories those first few years gave me. I was a vanilla player and played off and on for 10 years or so. I have 5 friends I still talk to.. to this day we meet up every night in disc and play games or just chat. There will never be a game or a time in my life that was as incredible as original vanilla WOW. It was the greatest time ever.
My very first character i made was a nelf druid. i used to play warcraft 3 with my friends, and then when wow was out, we all went and got it and logged in together, and i remember just how magical it looked and how real it felt!! gosh how i wish there was a time machine to take me back! X(
As soon as it plays, I get chills. Night elf druid is the best class, the best race. Been clean of Warcraft for a year, but might just revisit it on a new laptop....
Although the experiences are gone forever, the memories of these places will continue to exist in our hearts until the day we die
I'll always remember the first time I saw WoW. It was at a friend's house and he showed me his Night Elf Druid, and how it could turn into a cat and go into stealth mode. This was out in front of Darnassus and I remember being amazed by the giant Ancients stomping around the area. Great memories.
When I first started playing in Vanilla I first rolled a human warlock to run around with friends who were humans, dwarves, and one gnome. But my computer at the time was really crappy and I lagged like mad as soon as I got to Goldshire. I had to stop playing the warlock and decided to retry a night elf warrior since the elven lands were much less populated and therefore, much less laggy. The aesthetics and music of Teldrassil compared to the human lands was just breathtaking, and I never turned back. I rarely grouped with those friends until we hit max level but it was worth it just to adventure through those lands. I quit playing barely into BfA and have no intention of going back, but those early times were just magical. They will be missed.
I still play off an on, but during vanilla bad tbc I played with my brother and fathers. While they no longer play, and we play other games as a family, I’ll always miss the magic of playing wow with them. Some of the best memories as a kid
I remember my first night elf Hunter, leveling in teldrassil and darkshore. Then sailing to stormwind, after this returning, and listening this music, such feeling as i returned home
I loved the good old World of Warcraft soo much, I miss the original.
I'm 32 now, I started my first character - Night Elf Priest at 16. I still have that Priest. This music really unlocks a beautiful, peaceful place in my soul whenever I hear it, it's like nothing else could ever matter.
absolutely ridiculous amounts of nostalgia from this...
Listening to these songs make me also hear all the iconic sound effects that have appeared while exploring the island as a child for the first time.
I can hear the noises of the imps in the starting area, the trampling of the big trees near dolanaar, the roars of the nightsabers, i can hear the night elf npcs talking to me when interacting with them 'ishnu-alah', the sound of opening the quest log, drawing the string of my bow as a hunter....
But most they're bringing back memories of a long time friend of mine, who was calmly explaining to me all the basic stuff of the game during my first two hours playing it. She was suffering from an illness for years and passed away in 2020 after an organ donation. I simply cannot describe how badly i would like to turn back time to experience everything again we did together back then. This musics helps me to do that in my mind's eye...
Thank you very much for the upload.
Reading this LITERALLY gave me goosebumps. Thank you for that experience.
Whoever had the idea to make the trees in this game so massive is a genius. you feel so immersed when playing
This was my first sight in WoW in 2005... and start of MMO journey that still lasts :) Eh memories...
Hehe, same here Selena. Thank you for sharing your memories with us and nice to meet you! :)
Same , except I no longer play , just takes up too much time . I tried being a casual player, but I just can’t do it., I want to experience all the game has to offer, it is way too time consuming. I love to raid and BG my face off , just can’t do it anymore.
This tune reminds me of having an extended weekend out of school or holiday break and being excited to log into WoW for most of those hours. I would wake up early (or be up very late) with a blanket wrapped around my legs and a few snacks within arms reach, run around mining things, while waiting for PVP to pop off, work on achievements, professions, or create alts, and rushing to the restroom while on a flightpath or throwing something in the microwave, only to come back and read some other late-night or early morning guildies gossiping. What a time!!
I’ve never felt so much magic and enchantment in my life than playing through this zone.
i remember falling off teldrassil, not knowing that there was a spirit healer in the village with the boat, and having to create a new character
So, I didn't start playing WoW when all my friends were (I was joining the Army at the time) and wished I had the chance to experience Vanilla back in the day. Though, I started in the early phase of Wrath of the Lich King (late 2007) and I absolutely loved it. Years later, I played on Nostralius and truly got to enjoy the vanilla experience (with no paid services whatsoever). It was fucking hard as hell, but it was a truly amazing experience that I can't put words into. This song embodies that feeling, and I still feel nostalgia and love going back to play. Just need friends to enjoy the game with...
The struggle continues.
We all remember our first dive into the greatest mmo that ever existed. The Friendships that were born from this game. It connected all of us. Regardless . This game is a testament on how video games bring people together.
This is the music of my teenage years. First race/class I ever made was a night elf hunter. I don't understand why but I vibe with night elves so much. Forever my love!
same bro my main Charrakter on WoW classic is night elf Hunter right now :D
@@Nesk_Productions classic as in Wrath classic?
Ahhh.. Back to 2006. My friend introduced wow to me and said that start with a night eöf hunter, it will suit you. I did, and here I am listening to these tunes during work days trying to chill.. Brings back great memories from the time I was studying and the world was a lot smaller, more peaceful and my life was just starting. Love it ❤
0:43 Ishnu-alah and my first wow character ever. Spent so many hours just hanging out with random people in this area before reaching lv 3. Will never forget that dude on a lv 60 mount that open traded me 1g when I made it to Darnassus.
Man, what I’d give to have the same magical feeling from 2005.
This holds a special place in my heart.
This is the reason for me even playing the game as long as i did. If it wasnt for Teldrassil i would never have gave wow a chance. Glad i did it was great fun.
My first fond memories in WoW were me and my girlfriend playing as nelfs.
We spent so much time together in Teldrassil.
We then went ahead and completed all quests from all the alliance zones in Kalimdor, then did the same in Outland, so on and so forth.
I am so happy to have shared these experiences with her. We have probably spent thousands of hours together in WoW.
I'm so sad that now we don't have time to play due to studying and working at the same time.
I hope I can retire from studying and at least enjoy a good 24+ hours of WoW each weekend together!
your story reminds me sort of what happened to me, after several breakups and a lost job , i accidenteley happened to stumble upon a friend who signed us both on the beta EU in 2004 , immediateley got hooked on the this new world , nether the less i regained confidence in myself and met my girlfriend during the release of early vanilla stage , ofc we have had ups and downs like all other people but here we are in 2023 at almost 50 years old and still together with 2 daughters. if i had not played this game i would have never found my soulmate i guess. we stopped playing after Legion , wish u all the best , cheers from europe
@@gixxie117 thank you! We still love the game so much, but have no time and little money.
We're studying and working hard to build a future together. Our objective is to one day have a family like you.
I am so happy to hear you're still together after all this time, and with two daughters!! I wish all of you so much happiness and health!!!
@@norielsylvire4516 thank you very much , again wish you all the best for the future friend. cheers :)
We're all just continually looking for the next game to bring back that emotional paradigm shift we found when WoW exploded onto the scene. The true nostalgia comes and sober realisation that it was a point in our own lives which were themselves, far less complicated and stressful than the world we live in today.
We then must ask ourselves, is it really a game we're looking for, or is it to be reimmursed into the magic and awe inspiring wonder we felt so long ago as we wandered through these now familiar scenes?
It accompanied a 'first' for many of us, the first time we heard a guildmate yell 'HORDE' and that resulting adrenaline rush as we saw a legion of real world players avatars rising up over the brow of a hill. The knowledge that we were explorers in the first ever wave of gamers entering new and shiny MMO frontiers, pushing the boundaries of graphics and in game fight dynamics.
It's not a "new" game we're on search of, it's to recapture that childlike wonder from a time when the real world hadn't all but obliterated our appreciation of magic.
Feeeenix Night Elf - Forever "For The Alliance"!
Signing off x
I am the only one here who appreciated the magic much more growing up? Lol childhood and early teens were horrible with older relatives not letting you play wow that much and school was a nightmare. I love much more being in my late 20's now haha
May the Stars guide you.
I started off as a night elf druid, influenced by WC3, and when I first heard the music, I knew, I choose the right race and class. Ever since, I main a druid.
I remember hearing this and the bell from the stormwind ship as it docked
The part at 1:20 is the best, omg.... I just can't describe it
Dude, you just need to know that your videos are awesome and underrated. Perfect for work and studying, and well produced. THANKS!
Wow! Thank you very much for making my day better
Ahhhh the Elves .... magnifficent place ! 😊
Thank you for posting this. I started WoW just around the time TBC hit. NE Hunter to start as I generally play Ranger type characters in any kind of D&D or RPG setting. I remember running up and down Darkshore for hours as mounts weren't available yet until higher levels listening to this music. Very nostalgic and Blizzard just hit all the right notes with this game.
This was always my favorite music in WoW. Likely because my first character back in Vanilla was a night elf, but even beyond that I would always do zones with this music. The only thing that's missing is the sounds of footsteps on the stone path between the starting area and Darnassus to complete the auditory experience.
I remember leveling my Night Elf warrior here, back during the Burning Crusade expansion. My favorite place to chill out and browse through the Auction House for deals. It's amazing how we still remember the little things in WOW that made the game so fun to play. Thanks for making the video.
Almost 5 days to go and we can go back! Cant wait.
This bring me so many memories. It feels like home. Reminds me of the many adventures I had with my friends. Some of them still friends to this day. Wish I could back and install the game again for the first time. When everyone didn't have a guide and had to discover the world. When pvp videos with greenday music were the norm.
One of the happiest days of my life when I first logged into wow and found myself in Teldrassil. This was at the beginning of the burning crusade expansion. It was captivating, enchanting and magical. It also marked my return to gaming after a long spell.
nostalgia is strong with this one...
Blizzard should add quests to go back in these beautiful places and re-live all the nostalgia again. Silvermoon is beautiful as well
Nightelf Druid, my first WoW character in 2005....still have and love her and even if I play Horde for many years now, I never got the feeling, than this starting zone had again. Sometimes I log in with my NE Druid and visit old places!
Remember coming from Teldrassil to Darnassus... What a magic, like a dream..
If you love your kids don't show them this stuff.....
Lmao
If i had one wish, i would be in the World of Warcraft itself. First Character Male Night Elf Hunter. This music pulls on the heartstrings. God i miss the memories. I wish it was still as popular as it was. I miss seeing people everywhere on it.
This zone music elicits the strongest response from me of all the zones. Started here back in December of 2004 not fully understanding the depth of the game though I had played pretty much all of Blizzard's previous games. There was no rush to leave as I didn't even realize there was something beyond it. Even after I "left" the zone for others I was quickly back on a new Night Elf when the ex-wife started playing as well. Spent a good 4 or 5 months in this zone and it's music just became synonymous with WoW. It's like coming back home.
The nostalgia is real.
Glad to have played this game with all of you.
My favourite track of the entire game. The nostalgia I feel of being 12 years old again, running around on my new night elf hunter..... Playing with my friends from school, sharing our adventures, and even making new friends in the process.... man, some of my fondest memories were made in this game and I can't wait to relive them in classic.
Even though I first started in late Vanilla, and just got my character to level 45-ish and then stopped until end of TBC/start of Wrath -leveling in Teldrassil and Auberdine and getting my Whirlwind axe with the help of my fully geared raid tiered buddy (who managed to find time between farming to prep for raids 😂) was one of the most vivid and immersive gaming experiences I've ever experienced (and I was a gamer for almost 20-ish years). Night elf warrior was my first ever character, countless deaths while pulling multiple creeps, countless hours spent doing quests, farming and spending hard earned gold on putting enchants onto Uncommon gear 😂 Life was good yeah... it was good.
На дворе 2024 год. А эта мелодия до сих пор греет мне сердце
This is so incredibly beautiful. I remember being a middle schooler and seeing the commercials for WoW and the ads on all the flash game sites. I was so naive and yet I still downloaded the game and started my free 13 day trial during wotlk. I was enthralled with the night elves. I'd never seen a fantasy race like them before. I thought long and hard about what class to play. Didn't know anything about druids, but I knew that using nature to kill shit would be awesome.
I loaded into the game and my jaw dropped instantly. I was so bewildered by Teldrassil. Nature everywhere; players everywhere. Mohawk grenades being thrown everywhere... I believe I met my first friend in Shadowglen: Starphoenix. I was just a dumb kid and all the prostitute nelfs were taboo to me. But Starphoenix was different. She was friendly and nice. She took me on an adventure. We ended up in Stormwind and I literally just set my character to follow her because I had no clue what was going on. We spent the day playing and ended up in Darkshore, fighting overleveled mobs and running away from threshers.
After logging out, I saw her maybe once or twice after that. I focused on lvling at that point. I got to lvl 13 and then I ran out of time on my trial. I was so depressed. I wanted to play, but there was no way in hell that my mom would give me $15 a month for a game. I gave up. I never saw Starphoenix again.
Cataclysm rolled around. Still a kid, couldn't pay for WoW... MoP is revealed and I got super excited. I BEGGED my mother. I PLEADED with her. She finally caved and let my buy the expansion when it was released. I logged into the game, remade Frostgnaw, the Night Elf Balance Druid and restarted my journey in Azeroth. I quested along, remembering most of the content. And then Darkshore hit me. I was confused and didn't recognize the area. Eh, probably just updated or something. Kept questing. Started working my way south of Lor'danel. I got to "The Ruins of Auberdine". Again, my jaw dropped. I finally realized what had happened. All the memories I had from Darkshore were here. Deathwing destroyed my childhood memories.
I have yet to experience the original version of Darkshore. I am so incredibly excited for the rerelease of classic WoW. I want to see pre-cata Azeroth in all its glory. And Starphoenix, if you somehow see this, it's me, Frostgnaw. I hope to see you in Darkshore.
After experiencing classic now, I can certainly say that it was everything that I remembered from wotlk. Leveling Frostgnaw again on opening night was fantastic. There were so many people and it was total chaos trying to quest. My guildies were in discord and we all had a blast. Of course... I was the only night elf xD. Gotta get those racials.
I can listen to this all day long.
Preparing a really long version of this, I hope I'll have the time to launch it soon :)
@@Meisio I'll be waiting:-)
@@Meisio That would be awesome
My first wow character was an night elf druid, world of warcraft it was my first mmorpg, I still remember that to complete a mission, I had to read everything in detail, because at that time the game didn't tell you where to kill that enemy, you had to discover it and explore it and the only clue was the text of the mission, I lost myself in teldrassil for weeks because I was still a noob, I found a side-quest with the harpies and I remember that it cost me a lot because there were so many harpies... and then when I took the mission to darkshore ... and to realize that teldrassil all this time was an immense tree ... and to fly for the first time from the roots of teldrassil to the port of Auberdine ... I felt overwhelmed, small, and excited by the adventure, at that moment I wanted to explore everything ...
God ... I miss those times ... :'(
It was fun wasn’t it , my first was a Druid back in fall of 2005 .
Эх, старые добрые локации.. ностальгия . WoW, вернись Т_Т
My first WOW character in vanilla: night elf priest. Got killed several times in the spider cave. The good old time of exploring a world. I'll miss that ;)
didn’t expect to immediately feel sad listening to this but i’m not upset
I started playing right after the South Park episode in 2006 and my first toon was a night elf hunter. I was 45, it was still magical as I was figuring out the game. When I wasn't working or sleeping I was playing WoW. Thanks for the memories.
