It's so incredibly refreshing to see somebody get a large number of subscribers by being calm and genuine instead of.... "HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON BOIS AND GRILLS?! IT'S YA BOI, XXXBUNNYHOP360McBIGDICKXXX COMING AT YOU LIVE WITH ANOTHER GAME-PLAY COMMENTARY!!"
My son wanted to play WOW so bad when he was like 6-7yrs old. I had been playing for a couple years by then and told him the only way I would let him play was he would have to read the quests for himself. He had been struggling with reading a bit. I saw an opportunity to use WOW as a reading tool. It worked.
I was around 7-8 when I played and read a lot of quest text, learning some bigger words quickly. I tested into advanced classes because I recognized that a bird’s feet were talons, which I only knew from leveling a Tauren and getting hit by the Talon Swoop ability from the bird enemies there.
“The snowy hills of Dun Morogh” the way he says that is so comfy. I liked those snowy hills too 😊. One of my favorite zones. I would have to say that Dun Morogh, Darkshore, Teldrassil and Ashenvale were hands down my favorite zones. The battles in Ashenvale between Astranaar and Splintertree post were legendary and all day long on our server. Yes I know Southshore and Tarren Mill was much more epic but the Ashenvale battles were like, personal! 😂 we knew eachother people would log onto alts and whisper angrily, people would camp corpses and just be generally stinkers 😂
On the stormy shores of Azeroth, A silhouette did stand. A brave and stalwart sailor Who gave a helpin' hand. Without fail, on every whim, Which we did demand, He simply smiled and waved his hand, And sent us 'cross the land. Farewell to thee, Placeholder, Your ship has sailed to sea. We'll tip our hats and pray one day To be as great as thee. Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride. =*(
The fun of being a hunter back then. I remember the first mob I killed in Searing Gorge, an elemental, dropped an epic quality one handed ax. I think it was a world drop and I got lucky that it showed up. Then there was an old quest in Silithus that also gave an ax that doubled for a pick and someone just had to go on about how I was "using a mining pick as a weapon". So I linked both of the items and boy did that open a can of worms.
MadSeasonShow bro pls i wonder can you do few videos about adventures with your close friends in wow,wonder for a long time about it,must be some awesome few. Thank you. Gw,gg,gj.
Dun- more-Ah ...... :/ I’m Irish, and yes it’s Celtic and I’m fluent in Irish which is a Celtic language and there’s plenty of Irish words that end in ogh like this and there spoken with the sound of AH not Row....All Celtic languages are very similar in how they sound, Scottish and Irish are almost identical...Dun Morogh is pronounced Dun Morah
Wanted: "Hogger". God, i remember when me and my friends started playing wow, we were complete shit back then and we even thought hogger was some sort of boss back then. I remember when i got high enough level to solo him, whenever i was near goldshire, i went and killed that fucker out of sheer spite towards him, sometimes i even boosted low level players because i hated Hogger so much :D

lol i remember doing this too. ppl got so mad. i even had someone spam whispering me calling me names and shit after i apologized and said i was just new. stuff like that is why i try to be thorough in explaining things to friends new to the game i guess. but maybe that takes some fun out of it? i dunno. generally i dont think ppl have as much of an attitude as most players did back then compared to now. the worst ive seen lately is ppl just leaving grp bc the tank or healer isnt in heirloom gear
@@alphonsbretagne8468 Same. I thought need meant the game would give it to the person that needed it. My friend (that introduced me btw) kept asking me if I needed that, and I kept saying no. The friend never told me, so I googled it when I saw people bitching in general about ninjas. Luckily I figured it out myself, before I ever grouped with strangers. lol
I remember being young & also first rolling a mage, then dying way too much so I got bored. Came back 3-4 months later and tried a dwarf hunter because I thought only hunters could have mounts. I still feel tinges of nostalgia every time I see something that brings me back, and truly miss the adventurous feeling I felt playing this game.
I remember starting on Wrath of the Lich King expansion.My first character was Hunter Orc,and i saw that people can create items and armor and i wanted that.So my first and favorite profession is Tailoring and i remember my Orc was full of cloth armor with intellect stamina and i was always looking by the item quality,i didn't mind about stats i thought that quality means everything ! I remember i saw that blue (quality) cloak that requires spider silk to make and i was like,yes ! i need to have this ! And i remember spending my money on Auction house for spider silk.And when i made it i was so proud and i remember i never ran out of mana !
Lol I remember the first time someone whispered me a bunch of hateful stuff. I was level 15ish and in ashenvale. A level ?? Horde rogue and a mage were fighting. I didn’t know how to turn on pvp so I just stood there watching. When the mage died he whispered “ thanks for the help $&@!.” And since I was about 8 I replied, thinking he was actually thanking me, “ no problem :)” but before I could whisper him he blocked me.
but how about raiding major cities ? like raiding Orgrimmar several times and getting rekt by fucking Varok Saurfang as last man standing there, i'm pretty sure i remember those days
I wasn't on a pvp server, so when you went into Ashenvale or any other zone that wasn't a horde settlement you didn't get flagged for pvp. This was also around BC time, so I'm not sure if it was different in Vanilla where you were always flagged.
Well I know when I started in Wraith till around either WoD or Legion the way to flag pvp on a non pvp server was to be attacked by a guard, enter the capital city of the opposing faction, attack another player of the opposing side that was flagged for pvp, heal a player that was flagged for pvp on my own side, click a character on the opposing side that was flagged for pvp, or have an opposing side player that is flagged for pvp inside one of your AoE attacks. In short used to be able attack anything, yet attack an opposing faction player that is flagged at anytime or a guard flagged for pvp. The changes currently in the live version is that on non pvp server get flagged for pvp if attacked by a guard of the opposing side or enter one of their capital cities. There are also quests that require to attack npcs that are flagged themselves for pvp and when have to attack one for a quest that too flags the attacker for pvp. To actually do combat or heal an ally in pvp requires now to actually activate pvp manually by clicking on the character and choosing pvp and enable. I have to admit I enjoy the changes cause their were times when a misclick or someone just standing in my AoE that I have no control over. That time when have a member of the opposing faction standing in front of the quest giver on their big mount and click them instead of the quest giver. The time when killing a big group of quest mobs when a member of the opposing faction just so happens to stand in the AoE that need to do in order to kill the quest mobs. Or the times when just curious and want to check out the person who is raiding the capital city's stats
I remember my first random drop on my druid back in the days. It was a two handed Mace named Blanchard's Stout and it dropped from a regular quest mob in Un'Goro. I was really confused since my last Name actually is Blanchard. I have it until today. Good memories.
I got harassed for buying mail armor from the vendor as I didn’t know the auction house existed then. 2 guys chased me and yelled mean things all the way from Stormwind to West Fall. One even pretended to be Blizzard and asked for my account info. I was a noob but I still had common sense so I said “Sure it’s 1-800-Your-mom” he then said he was going to report me for saying that but surprisingly nothing came of it.
Ive always thought that they look at chat logs for stuff like that. So if they were harassing you all that way, then I would assume that they would get into trouble
I remember getting a crazy Level 29 twink cloak (Tigerfang Cape) or something like that and then equipping it since it was blue. When my older brother found out he almost killed me because it was worth a lot on AH. Btw i was a priest and it was an agility cloak :))
I’m playing wow burning crusade and really getting back into wow after not playing for 5 years or so and theses videos are so nice to watch and to motivate me to keep playing!! Thank you!!!
Glad you liked it. Not counting the intro tune, the first and third songs were done by Harry Murrell. If you like acoustic covers of video game songs I highly recommend checking out his channel....good stuff! ua-cam.com/users/HarryMurrell
Thanks again Mad! Your experiences mirrored much of my own, luckily I did have a few friends that played when I started in Vanilla. About spell ranks. It was common practice when I raided MC to use lower ranked spells more frequently as you could manage your mana more effectively. As the MH for our guild I never ran out of mana and our parties live a bit longer during each wipe.
I love this series. The embarrassing noob nostalgia just warms my heart and takes me back. I remember didn't actually buy the game for a long time. I would just keep making trial accounts and the first race I played, like you, was undead. And when I finally bought the game I also started a dwarf (hunter). I remember also spend hours making sure i put talent points in the right spot because I was afraid I'd run out of money since it would cost more each time.
here"s a noob hunter story from back in tbc you might enjoy, my first character (being a hunter) was on his way to rfk for the first time ever(took me about 3 hours because i couldn't find the entrance) and started the dungeon with a pally i made friends with along the way, the mail helmet (forget what its called) dropped and i instantly clicked need because i knew i would get mail armor specification at level 40 however for those of you who now rfk the items dropping pre cata were about level 24-28 i think needles to say the guy never spoke to me again kept the helmet till level 40 wore it for maybe all of 2 levels
I actually have a very similar story. I remember back in Burning Crusade I put the Mongoose enchant on my main hand weapon just because I loved how it made my weapon look. I think I did the same thing as you, with something like a strength weapon, just because I didn't really understand how to play back then (I remember I didnt think much of stats, only the more armor I had in my gear, the better i'd play. That said I even remember having like intellect on my hunter too lmfao). Anyhow, I remember getting this whisper on how I was such a dumbass for putting a 500 gold enchant on a 'warrior weapon' (which was A LOT of money back then for an average, not hardcore player like me.) He kept going on and on and on and on about how I sucked and how I needed to learn how to play my class until I figured out how to /ignore him. To this day, if I remember correctly. He still plays and I still have him on my ignore list.
Thank you so much for making these videos, especially the vanilla WoW ones. It brings back a lot of good memories and you've actually got me back into WoW at the moment. Thanks man. I can't wait for classic servers.
This series is what made me subscribe! Keep ’em coming please. My experience with hunters was very similar back then actually! There was something special about having your very own pet, or being able to turn into animals as a druid. Oh, the memories.
Love these videos man, Reminds me of those amazing good old days. Wish i could go back in time and do it all over again :) I feel like no game will ever give that feeling that Vanilla WoW gave when you worked towards something and finally got it! Thank you, subbed & liked.
Instant like for the opening music! I’m willing to bet that you, I and many of your viewers grew up together exploring and learning from the wonderful worlds in gaming and their many stories. We explored them alone, but we all share the experience together. Take care of yourselves my brothers and sisters. :D
No they don't bro, no they don't... Social WOW died a long time ago. Now no one talks in guild chat or in general chats. Everyone just goes around like robots.
When I was level 40 back in early BC I got a Mage to portal me to Outland and began exploring it. I gained almost a full level just from the exploration exp
Hehehe!!! XD I was kicked out of so many parties because I couldn't follow the group. Everytime I saw a flower "OH! HERB! gotta pick it!". I got so distracted haha. I actually leveled my characters almost solely on collecting flowers and exploring hehe ^^ So, f those people! It's supposed to be exploring the world ^^ that's the best part!
12:11 "Who is this 4chan?!" Amazing video, as always. Never ceases to take me back to the good old days. Really the only altercation I ever had with anyone in terms of getting an angry whisper was when everyone used to grind Argent Dawn rep in the first two fields of Western Plaguelands. I kept getting tags faster than this Alliance dude that was there and he kept emoting "rude gestures" at me. Then he eventually disappeared and I thought that was that, but then next thing i know I am getting a whisper from some level 1 character calling me all kinds of names and "going off" on me. They never said they were the person who I kept out-tagging, but it was pretty obvious. Especially since I never had any personal drama with anyone. I just thought it was funny, and looking back on it maybe I was a douche for doing so, but I just didn't say a word and reported him for harassment and vulgarity, since he was cussing me and he ended up getting a strike. Looking back, i should have just kek'd and let it go. Reporting someone for cussing never made sense to me considering there has always been a Mature Language Filter option. I digress, though. Good times.
That noob don't know a thing. As one who Played Hunter during Vanilla, I can confirm that we did infact use Polearms, as well as other weapons, especially since we had to have a way to fight up close if the enemies got too close. Heck, one of the Hunter class quests back then, even awarded a polearm, so there is that!
I love watching your videos, such a nostalgic feel, personal account of the early days, and great content you push out. I wanted to comment on the music and how fitting it was. Keep up the good work man.
My first angry whisper was from an Orc Warrior I beat in a duel as my Undead Warlock. Apparently I was a lucky noob who didn't even have the right specs. My retort was that he was lucky I didn't report him for cheating since he should have been taunted by my Voidwalker, eventually my dad came in and told me how to ignore him, but until then it was back and forth with salty insults and noobish comebacks.
This is a really fun series Mad. I look forward to hearing your stories throughout each expansion. I am glad i found and subbed to this channel weeks ago.
Hey MS. Big thumbs up from Australia :) I found your videos a few months back and even though I had not played WoW in over a year (My first ever break after playing for 10 years straight) I still found watching and more specifically, listening to your videos an absolute pleasure. In fact I re-subscribed to the game today after so many of your Vanilla inspired videos intrigued me again. I am actually levelling to 60 and then stopping and just playing the rawest form of WoW I can conjure until Classic comes out. Your videos are soothing to watch, and amazing to listen to in the background while doing other things or even playing the game itself. Anyway, that's my 2 cents and just thought it was necessary I made a comment and said thanks! My greatest fear is running out of your content to consume, so here's to many more videos and content! - Darcy (aka Yif@Frostmourne, Oceanic)
“I think we should end this on a funny” You just did before you read that sentence, deleting a character because you thought you could be banned for having both an Alliance & Horde on the same server…. This made me burst out laughing, I didn’t expect something so insane. Lol.
I left a comment on the last video, but we were playing this game at same time period. But I didn't stick with the game at all. I just recently came back and everything is very different. Even though it tells me where to go now, I still read the quest logs and am going at my own pace. I'd rather take my time and read...get to know the story a bit better. See all of these people just running up to the quest givers who probably just accept the quest and go do it...who don't read.
Heres a short story, I was level 55 on my paladin, lvling in Burning steppes. Killed a mob, and all of a sudden the epic shoulders "Stockades pauldron" drops for me. I GO CRAZY, never seen such items before, and i knew how cool i'd look with them on and i was totally crazy.. So i equipped them. Couldnt wait to link it to my friend when he came online and joined me in Ventrilo. So i did. and he said... "wow..you didnt equip it,did you? you can sell them for TONS of gold!" and thats when it hit me.. I had no gold at all, and i was nearing level 60, and needed gold for epic mount.. The shoulders? they sold on AH for 500 gold, almost exactly the amount of gold i need for my paladin epic mount, I FELT SO DAMN STUPID.. I also killed ogres in Tanaris, and Blodletter dropped for me. I was really lucky.
I have listened to these at least a dozen times. Classic has been released and I can experience leveling etc like it was back in the day (community is different and people know how to do things now that really breaks the game 300k + xp an hour as a mage) but I still come back. Its nice seeing things in the lens of how it was when no one knew what they were doing. Like it was when i played. I would try to jump through enemies and turn to avoid getting hit while getting a hit in. I remember not knowing how to fish. I remember only looking at armor value on armor and never at stats.
Ayy, Star Wars Galaxies! Love that you played it, I personally fell in love with the LAAT mount in the card game for that and the clone armour quest that was in it. Was such a fun game and a good intro to have for MMO's onward.
You are the best wow UA-camr making content. You capture all the nostalgia and feeling of wonder from the first times we played this game. And you don't sully your videos with "this is better, that is better" you simply acknowledge it's different, and state your preference. It's a breath of fresh air to watch all your content vs the usually "hey boi's" creators.
I've been watching your videos tonight at work. Thanks so much, reminds me of SO much beginning stuff and SWG too. SWG has been my FAVORITE MMO so far! I've been playing WoW since day 1 of public play but I still miss SWG enormously. I play on the SWGemu but it's just not the same. My FIRST mmo was Ultima Online which I started in beta a bit and have been playing it since 1997 (still). My embarrassing beginner story is that I got lost in The Canals in SW for the first two weeks I played and almost /ragequit ! I couldn't figure out how to use the map. SWG's maps were so awesome compared to WoW and thinking to just click "M" didn't occur to me. I was also scared of the AH, couldn't figure out why people kept jumping off the ramp that goes up to the flight path in SW, and thought people that flew by overhead and did the /chicken emote were rude. Good times.
Please keep going with these... good memories... especially the starting zone. Some people get caught up in leveling, but I liked exploring and just looking around too. In fact the first question I asked my son was: "Can I just walk around?" when he said yeah,.. you can go anywhere - you might get ganked,.. but yeah....
Love your videos MadSeason. They're nice and calm, and entertaining. I also love that you are a SWG vet like me! That was my first MMO, and I played it to death. I took a bit of a break from it, and when I came back they had implemented the NGE and completely destroyed the game.
You misinterpreted what the "Hunter deadzone" was. The Hunter deadzone was actually a range between melee and ranged abilities that the Hunter COULD NOT ATTACK. I believe ranged abilities was 8-35 yards and melee was 0-5 yards. So the Hunter "dead zone" was that range in between 5 and 8 yards where the Hunter could not do any damage. The PvP pros knew exactly where to stand for that range and would exploit it to kill the Hunter in PvP.
MadSeasonShow It's all good we all pronounce atleast a few things in a strange way. I spent the first few years pronouncing adele as "a-de-ley", i had no reference and thought it was a french name or something. Hell, i still call a hearthstone a "herth-stone" too...
I watched the first two in a row. I love this series so far. I also started in SWG, and left about the same time you did, and for the same reason. You have a nice voice, soothing music, and are honest in your thoughts, and humble in what you did. I started with a priest, instead of paladin, or mage. And, like you, I tried to kill things with my 1-handed mace, instead of spells. I also wanted to be that dwarf in the cinematic though. I had chosen priest because I was a M. Doctor/M. Pikeman in SWG. But the bear was calling me. So I rerolled as a dwarf hunter. I still love hunters, and still hunt exclusively with my white bear. Looking forward to the rest of your series.
So many good memories of Creature Handling in SWG. I was in Beta and played up about the middle of the 1st expansion, Beyond.. uh, whatever it was.. anyway, I had that triple Rancor glitch! So fun running around with 3 big monsters. cant remember the names offhand but had basically ALL the tamable pets at some point. Droid Engineer/Creature handler LOL. Ended up being a Pistoleer/Swordsman. I was one of the first DE's to craft C3POs and made a killing. Ended up with a very nice mansion in the Corellian Crystal Swamp that was a museum of most of the collectable art at the time. Really do miss that version of the game.
The pets look cool as hell in starwars be sick having a huge rancor (spelling), it's interesting your point about wow being more structured, I liked that personally I remembered playing runescape before wow and playing 1 player games I think I was like 11 or 12 when I started wow, runescape was mad to me how there was quests but no one did them grinding made more sense it seemed allover the place, I always liked playing storymodes of single player games as well; so wow seemed like my first proper game where thousands of people played and you travelled through a proper world of story I loved it

What was his favorite quest?
I was around 7-8 when I played and read a lot of quest text, learning some bigger words quickly.
I tested into advanced classes because I recognized that a bird’s feet were talons, which I only knew from leveling a Tauren and getting hit by the Talon Swoop ability from the bird enemies there.
Yea i see it a lot where people start WOW at a fairly young age i mean i started when i was somewhat 10 and still play
Yesss! Just yesss man
I learned how to type. I used to peck the keys one by one before playing
I really enjoy this type of videos before I go to bed..so calm
SebGraphics Same here, i usually put on one of madseasons longest videos and fall asleep to it! its so soothing and calming!
Haha how funny I am doing the same as I type this
SebGraphics just don't listen to Old Gods' whispers before sleep
I was just about to put away my phone and sleep when i read this post! Good nite'!
Yo I thought I was the only one!!
Oh, silly "Somejerk"
Haven't you heard?
"Everything is a hunter weapon"
Seriously what n00b back then didn't know that everything is a hunter weapon.
everything is a hunter weapon, except for Thori'Dal. That's a bow for rogues to boost their stats..........please, tell me you get the reference :'(
Yup.
Except maces. Once I rolled and won being sure I can learn skill. But ...
-That looks like a hunter item, I need it!
-It's a shield
-You never know what you might need!
-You cant use shields
A weapon that isn’t for hunters? Inconceivable
right! any weapon that's not for hunters is marked by blizz by "not learnable"

Part 2 of my adventures in WoW! Also, dun moro* apparently :]
The fun of being a hunter back then. I remember the first mob I killed in Searing Gorge, an elemental, dropped an epic quality one handed ax. I think it was a world drop and I got lucky that it showed up. Then there was an old quest in Silithus that also gave an ax that doubled for a pick and someone just had to go on about how I was "using a mining pick as a weapon".

Wanted: "Hogger".
God, i remember when me and my friends started playing wow, we were complete shit back then and we even thought hogger was some sort of boss back then.
I remember when i got high enough level to solo him, whenever i was near goldshire, i went and killed that fucker out of sheer spite towards him, sometimes i even boosted low level players because i hated Hogger so much :D
Same here. Always felt obliged to stick my sword through his ass when passing by. "Hey, who's 'elite' now, fleabag?" XD
U did this too ?! :D
So, this is why I had to wait for his respawn, every single time... :D
i love how he has his own kill counter in the achivement statistics tab
Technically he is some sort of boss.
Done-Muh-Roe (Dun Morogh)
Dwarvish is very clearly derived from celtic and scottish.
Max S Celtic is actually a very wide language (well, was) group. They're accent is obviously Scottish tho I agree

Even though I don't play this game or even own a pc I still feel interest in watching WoW videos
Cool its not just me lol
Whut, wow veteran since 05 here. Didnt get good before like 2010 tho lol then i quit right after cata and could never get back into the game
I remember my first dungeon, I always thought the dice meant to roll for the item and I was so confused when they told me to stop needing everything
happened to me at my first group questing. I needed everything because I didn't want to be greedy :D
lol i remember doing this too. ppl got so mad. i even had someone spam whispering me calling me names and shit after i apologized and said i was just new. stuff like that is why i try to be thorough in explaining things to friends new to the game i guess. but maybe that takes some fun out of it? i dunno. generally i dont think ppl have as much of an attitude as most players did back then compared to now. the worst ive seen lately is ppl just leaving grp bc the tank or healer isnt in heirloom gear

These videos make me depressed because I think there will never be another MMO that will give me the same sense of discovery again
Casey Dillon i know what you mean man, it is sad but true, we can never experience it again like the first time 😞😞😞
I think the only thing now that could give that sense of wonderment is if they mastered VR to be good for open world MMOs.
I really think about that when I see my nephew playing games. What is his game nowadays that gives him the fond memories I had back then?

Wow Classic was nice
Lol I remember the first time someone whispered me a bunch of hateful stuff. I was level 15ish and in ashenvale. A level ?? Horde rogue and a mage were fighting. I didn’t know how to turn on pvp so I just stood there watching. When the mage died he whispered “ thanks for the help $&@!.” And since I was about 8 I replied, thinking he was actually thanking me, “ no problem :)” but before I could whisper him he blocked me.
hold on, i don't think we had to turn pvp on, we just fought eachothers naturaly
but how about raiding major cities ? like raiding Orgrimmar several times and getting rekt by fucking Varok Saurfang as last man standing there, i'm pretty sure i remember those days
I wasn't on a pvp server, so when you went into Ashenvale or any other zone that wasn't a horde settlement you didn't get flagged for pvp. This was also around BC time, so I'm not sure if it was different in Vanilla where you were always flagged.
my server was a nightmare, PVP was rutheless toward everyone
Well I know when I started in Wraith till around either WoD or Legion the way to flag pvp on a non pvp server was to be attacked by a guard, enter the capital city of the opposing faction, attack another player of the opposing side that was flagged for pvp, heal a player that was flagged for pvp on my own side, click a character on the opposing side that was flagged for pvp, or have an opposing side player that is flagged for pvp inside one of your AoE attacks. In short used to be able attack anything, yet attack an opposing faction player that is flagged at anytime or a guard flagged for pvp.
The changes currently in the live version is that on non pvp server get flagged for pvp if attacked by a guard of the opposing side or enter one of their capital cities. There are also quests that require to attack npcs that are flagged themselves for pvp and when have to attack one for a quest that too flags the attacker for pvp. To actually do combat or heal an ally in pvp requires now to actually activate pvp manually by clicking on the character and choosing pvp and enable.
I have to admit I enjoy the changes cause their were times when a misclick or someone just standing in my AoE that I have no control over. That time when have a member of the opposing faction standing in front of the quest giver on their big mount and click them instead of the quest giver. The time when killing a big group of quest mobs when a member of the opposing faction just so happens to stand in the AoE that need to do in order to kill the quest mobs. Or the times when just curious and want to check out the person who is raiding the capital city's stats
You have my favorite intro of any youtuber
Alexander Xtc same here
Alexander Xtc intro and outro are so soothing.
same, do you know what its from? the song i mean
I am Beepbop it’s linked in the description
That moment when u FINALLY had 1 Gold and u were like"i'm rich hell yes". Or the first dropped bag holy
I remember my first random drop on my druid back in the days. It was a two handed Mace named Blanchard's Stout and it dropped from a regular quest mob in Un'Goro. I was really confused since my last Name actually is Blanchard. I have it until today. Good memories.
I got harassed for buying mail armor from the vendor as I didn’t know the auction house existed then. 2 guys chased me and yelled mean things all the way from Stormwind to West Fall. One even pretended to be Blizzard and asked for my account info. I was a noob but I still had common sense so I said “Sure it’s 1-800-Your-mom” he then said he was going to report me for saying that but surprisingly nothing came of it.
"1-800-Your-mom" LOL 😂😂😂
Ive always thought that they look at chat logs for stuff like that. So if they were harassing you all that way, then I would assume that they would get into trouble
that number ahahaha. thanks for the new insult
I got harassed for playing my Ret paladin with a sword and board when I started getting into the game. Hell, I was harassed for playing a Ret paladin.
I remember getting a crazy Level 29 twink cloak (Tigerfang Cape) or something like that and then equipping it since it was blue. When my older brother found out he almost killed me because it was worth a lot on AH. Btw i was a priest and it was an agility cloak :))
Hahahahaha reminds me of when before wow i traded my brothers pokemon cards with ones i wanted lol. He got pissed
I’m playing wow burning crusade and really getting back into wow after not playing for 5 years or so and theses videos are so nice to watch and to motivate me to keep playing!! Thank you!!!
Nice choice of music
Glad you liked it. Not counting the intro tune, the first and third songs were done by Harry Murrell. If you like acoustic covers of video game songs I highly recommend checking out his channel....good stuff! ua-cam.com/users/HarryMurrell
The final fantasy 7 background music is so soothing
Totally I agree, I checked his channel and wow!
Thanks again Mad! Your experiences mirrored much of my own, luckily I did have a few friends that played when I started in Vanilla.
About spell ranks. It was common practice when I raided MC to use lower ranked spells more frequently as you could manage your mana more effectively. As the MH for our guild I never ran out of mana and our parties live a bit longer during each wipe.
These are my favourite videos of yours, Im sure many agree :)
Glad you like them! They're fun to make.
I dont know why i love this channel so much, your voice coupled with your stories just keeps me coming back :)
I had a giggle when you said you linked the item to the guy before sticking him on ignore
i have to say that i am always completely satisfied with your videos - i've never clicked off of one in the middle because they keep me so captivated!
That FF7 guitar solo definitely hit my childhood nostalgia.
I love this series. The embarrassing noob nostalgia just warms my heart and takes me back.
I remember didn't actually buy the game for a long time. I would just keep making trial accounts and the first race I played, like you, was undead. And when I finally bought the game I also started a dwarf (hunter). I remember also spend hours making sure i put talent points in the right spot because I was afraid I'd run out of money since it would cost more each time.
here"s a noob hunter story from back in tbc you might enjoy, my first character (being a hunter) was on his way to rfk for the first time ever(took me about 3 hours because i couldn't find the entrance) and started the dungeon with a pally i made friends with along the way, the mail helmet (forget what its called) dropped and i instantly clicked need because i knew i would get mail armor specification at level 40 however for those of you who now rfk the items dropping pre cata were about level 24-28 i think needles to say the guy never spoke to me again kept the helmet till level 40 wore it for maybe all of 2 levels
The calmness and music in your videos is everything. I love you content!
I actually have a very similar story. I remember back in Burning Crusade I put the Mongoose enchant on my main hand weapon just because I loved how it made my weapon look. I think I did the same thing as you, with something like a strength weapon, just because I didn't really understand how to play back then (I remember I didnt think much of stats, only the more armor I had in my gear, the better i'd play. That said I even remember having like intellect on my hunter too lmfao). Anyhow, I remember getting this whisper on how I was such a dumbass for putting a 500 gold enchant on a 'warrior weapon' (which was A LOT of money back then for an average, not hardcore player like me.) He kept going on and on and on and on about how I sucked and how I needed to learn how to play my class until I figured out how to /ignore him. To this day, if I remember correctly. He still plays and I still have him on my ignore list.
Music and scenes blend so well at the begining! Its pure art!
Angry wispers?
Wow you got those too? Mine where about me being a huntard
Idk how i got 30 likes but i got it i guess
Jor Doge huntardlivesmatter
u deserved it
Hahahaha same
L2p newb!
Thank you so much for making these videos, especially the vanilla WoW ones. It brings back a lot of good memories and you've actually got me back into WoW at the moment. Thanks man. I can't wait for classic servers.
R.I.P Rafi
This series is what made me subscribe! Keep ’em coming please.
My experience with hunters was very similar back then actually! There was something special about having your very own pet, or being able to turn into animals as a druid. Oh, the memories.
2:00 lol was totally not expecting that
Micah ooof
What about 11:17?
best channel to reminisce, there is so much heart in your video, the details and the camera movement. i love it
Lol... how funny is that, linking the item before ignoring him. 🤣😂
Love these videos man,
Reminds me of those amazing good old days.
Wish i could go back in time and do it all over again :)
I feel like no game will ever give that feeling that Vanilla WoW gave when you worked towards something and finally got it!
Thank you, subbed & liked.
16:29 - "and my raptorstrike hit a bit harder"
Not before you have skilled Polearms!!! :D
Instant like for the opening music! I’m willing to bet that you, I and many of your viewers grew up together exploring and learning from the wonderful worlds in gaming and their many stories. We explored them alone, but we all share the experience together. Take care of yourselves my brothers and sisters. :D
I get so distracted when exploring in WoW, that my guildies often ask me what the hell I'm doing in that zone.
No they don't bro, no they don't...
Social WOW died a long time ago. Now no one talks in guild chat or in general chats. Everyone just goes around like robots.
Why do we have a lvl 24 in epl? " I was following the water and thought I'd try and find the flightpath".
When I was level 40 back in early BC I got a Mage to portal me to Outland and began exploring it. I gained almost a full level just from the exploration exp
First thing my wife did after getting water travel form on her druid was decide she was going to swim around Kalimdor. All the way around.
Hehehe!!! XD I was kicked out of so many parties because I couldn't follow the group. Everytime I saw a flower "OH! HERB! gotta pick it!". I got so distracted haha. I actually leveled my characters almost solely on collecting flowers and exploring hehe ^^
So, f those people! It's supposed to be exploring the world ^^ that's the best part!
This is 100% my favorite wow series to date, please keep making these until im dead
lol those grapes killed me xD
Its from South Park :)
12:11
"Who is this 4chan?!"
Amazing video, as always. Never ceases to take me back to the good old days.
Really the only altercation I ever had with anyone in terms of getting an angry whisper was when everyone used to grind Argent Dawn rep in the first two fields of Western Plaguelands. I kept getting tags faster than this Alliance dude that was there and he kept emoting "rude gestures" at me. Then he eventually disappeared and I thought that was that, but then next thing i know I am getting a whisper from some level 1 character calling me all kinds of names and "going off" on me. They never said they were the person who I kept out-tagging, but it was pretty obvious. Especially since I never had any personal drama with anyone. I just thought it was funny, and looking back on it maybe I was a douche for doing so, but I just didn't say a word and reported him for harassment and vulgarity, since he was cussing me and he ended up getting a strike. Looking back, i should have just kek'd and let it go. Reporting someone for cussing never made sense to me considering there has always been a Mature Language Filter option. I digress, though. Good times.
That noob don't know a thing. As one who Played Hunter during Vanilla, I can confirm that we did infact use Polearms, as well as other weapons, especially since we had to have a way to fight up close if the enemies got too close.
Heck, one of the Hunter class quests back then, even awarded a polearm, so there is that!
Hahahahahah yup, you're a huntard.
@@unknownbenefactor5687 Not really, I actually know how to play the class, unlike so many others.
The gargoyle‘s bite was my first rare bought AH Item too and for Hunter aswell! The nostalgia is hitting hard
Sweet, another episode
Enjoy!
I love you, man!
The noob in MadSeasonShow was very very strong in him, back in the days.
LOL @ 'hacking the game'
I love watching your videos, such a nostalgic feel, personal account of the early days, and great content you push out. I wanted to comment on the music and how fitting it was. Keep up the good work man.
My first angry whisper was from an Orc Warrior I beat in a duel as my Undead Warlock. Apparently I was a lucky noob who didn't even have the right specs. My retort was that he was lucky I didn't report him for cheating since he should have been taunted by my Voidwalker, eventually my dad came in and told me how to ignore him, but until then it was back and forth with salty insults and noobish comebacks.
This is a really fun series Mad. I look forward to hearing your stories throughout each expansion. I am glad i found and subbed to this channel weeks ago.
Can you upload a video of you just rambling on for an hour about anything?
This please. Longet videos!!
Hey MS. Big thumbs up from Australia :) I found your videos a few months back and even though I had not played WoW in over a year (My first ever break after playing for 10 years straight) I still found watching and more specifically, listening to your videos an absolute pleasure. In fact I re-subscribed to the game today after so many of your Vanilla inspired videos intrigued me again. I am actually levelling to 60 and then stopping and just playing the rawest form of WoW I can conjure until Classic comes out. Your videos are soothing to watch, and amazing to listen to in the background while doing other things or even playing the game itself. Anyway, that's my 2 cents and just thought it was necessary I made a comment and said thanks! My greatest fear is running out of your content to consume, so here's to many more videos and content! - Darcy (aka Yif@Frostmourne, Oceanic)
“I think we should end this on a funny”
You just did before you read that sentence, deleting a character because you thought you could be banned for having both an Alliance & Horde on the same server…. This made me burst out laughing, I didn’t expect something so insane. Lol.
1:25 "Some of the friends I met along the way."
_fades in to a man wading through dead bodies_
O O O O F
U ded
*O O O O F*
Love these series madseason, they are so well done and i could listen to you talk about this stuff for hours. The best youtuber there is. much love
I left a comment on the last video, but we were playing this game at same time period. But I didn't stick with the game at all. I just recently came back and everything is very different. Even though it tells me where to go now, I still read the quest logs and am going at my own pace. I'd rather take my time and read...get to know the story a bit better. See all of these people just running up to the quest givers who probably just accept the quest and go do it...who don't read.
Those videos are so wholesome and calming, thank you for making them.
Heres a short story, I was level 55 on my paladin, lvling in Burning steppes. Killed a mob, and all of a sudden the epic shoulders "Stockades pauldron" drops for me. I GO CRAZY, never seen such items before, and i knew how cool i'd look with them on and i was totally crazy.. So i equipped them. Couldnt wait to link it to my friend when he came online and joined me in Ventrilo. So i did. and he said... "wow..you didnt equip it,did you? you can sell them for TONS of gold!" and thats when it hit me.. I had no gold at all, and i was nearing level 60, and needed gold for epic mount.. The shoulders? they sold on AH for 500 gold, almost exactly the amount of gold i need for my paladin epic mount, I FELT SO DAMN STUPID.. I also killed ogres in Tanaris, and Blodletter dropped for me. I was really lucky.
I have listened to these at least a dozen times. Classic has been released and I can experience leveling etc like it was back in the day (community is different and people know how to do things now that really breaks the game 300k + xp an hour as a mage) but I still come back. Its nice seeing things in the lens of how it was when no one knew what they were doing. Like it was when i played. I would try to jump through enemies and turn to avoid getting hit while getting a hit in. I remember not knowing how to fish. I remember only looking at armor value on armor and never at stats.
I LOVED the 'Member Dat grapes.
Ayy, Star Wars Galaxies! Love that you played it, I personally fell in love with the LAAT mount in the card game for that and the clone armour quest that was in it. Was such a fun game and a good intro to have for MMO's onward.
I like grinding too, I played runescape before wow and that game was nearly only grinding
You are the best wow UA-camr making content. You capture all the nostalgia and feeling of wonder from the first times we played this game. And you don't sully your videos with "this is better, that is better" you simply acknowledge it's different, and state your preference. It's a breath of fresh air to watch all your content vs the usually "hey boi's" creators.
Ah, good old Dun Morogg
I find your videos so entertaining. This memories series is awesome, more please!!!!
Didn't get killed by that pesky undead mage killing people from the roof in Darkshire did you?
Love your stories. :3
Zenyatta you reffering to Nixxiom?
He is

I've been watching your videos tonight at work. Thanks so much, reminds me of SO much beginning stuff and SWG too. SWG has been my FAVORITE MMO so far! I've been playing WoW since day 1 of public play but I still miss SWG enormously. I play on the SWGemu but it's just not the same. My FIRST mmo was Ultima Online which I started in beta a bit and have been playing it since 1997 (still).
My embarrassing beginner story is that I got lost in The Canals in SW for the first two weeks I played and almost /ragequit ! I couldn't figure out how to use the map. SWG's maps were so awesome compared to WoW and thinking to just click "M" didn't occur to me. I was also scared of the AH, couldn't figure out why people kept jumping off the ramp that goes up to the flight path in SW, and thought people that flew by overhead and did the /chicken emote were rude.
Good times.
"Heh....out-smarted this game."
Please keep going with these... good memories... especially the starting zone. Some people get caught up in leveling, but I liked exploring and just looking around too. In fact the first question I asked my son was: "Can I just walk around?" when he said yeah,.. you can go anywhere - you might get ganked,.. but yeah....
I don’t know if the boat story or the deleted mage is my favorite but they’re both cute stories
I love this series of videos :) Really takes me back. And I love that you're so willing to admit to being bad at the game for a while. I know I was!
OMG I totally remember ranking up and forgetting to use the higher rank on my druid.
Do you also remember the joys of equipping a new type of weapon then having to level that weapon skill to actually be able to hit something..?
scott thompson Yes. I also remember running around punching stuff to get my unarmed to 400. Love that achievement.
Love your videos MadSeason. They're nice and calm, and entertaining. I also love that you are a SWG vet like me! That was my first MMO, and I played it to death. I took a bit of a break from it, and when I came back they had implemented the NGE and completely destroyed the game.
You misinterpreted what the "Hunter deadzone" was. The Hunter deadzone was actually a range between melee and ranged abilities that the Hunter COULD NOT ATTACK. I believe ranged abilities was 8-35 yards and melee was 0-5 yards. So the Hunter "dead zone" was that range in between 5 and 8 yards where the Hunter could not do any damage. The PvP pros knew exactly where to stand for that range and would exploit it to kill the Hunter in PvP.
Great episode! Your perspective on WoW is much appreciated.
haha i have literally never ever heard dun morOG, but nice video as usual :)
It is so great to see, that anothrer players had rough start, but at the end, these are the best memories.. thanks for the vid :)
Man your channel is exploding :D
Love these videos. So chill and fun to listen to old WoW stories.
Nice👌👏 very nice
I'm glad you have made another memory video! :-) Keep it up. I really enjoy this series.
The way he pronounces dun morogh triggers me
Lol my bad....I had a feeling I was saying it wrong
MadSeasonShow It's all good we all pronounce atleast a few things in a strange way. I spent the first few years pronouncing adele as "a-de-ley", i had no reference and thought it was a french name or something. Hell, i still call a hearthstone a "herth-stone" too...
I called the Hearthstone a "Heart-stone" all the way through WOTLK.
Gods only know why I thought it would teleport me to an inn.
I always said it like the scot's would.
Done-moh-ruh
yip and us Irish
I watched the first two in a row. I love this series so far. I also started in SWG, and left about the same time you did, and for the same reason. You have a nice voice, soothing music, and are honest in your thoughts, and humble in what you did. I started with a priest, instead of paladin, or mage. And, like you, I tried to kill things with my 1-handed mace, instead of spells. I also wanted to be that dwarf in the cinematic though. I had chosen priest because I was a M. Doctor/M. Pikeman in SWG. But the bear was calling me. So I rerolled as a dwarf hunter. I still love hunters, and still hunt exclusively with my white bear. Looking forward to the rest of your series.
Dun Marag eyy lmao
Feel like I will be coming back to this video and others in the WoW memories series even when I'm 80 years old.
you got a dwarf fetish m8
Excellent video as usual. Never stop making classic wow videos!
It's Dun Moro, not morag ;)
I had a feeling I was saying that wrong. Thanks for the heads up.
Its actually “dun morah” if we compare it to Celtic.
So many good memories of Creature Handling in SWG. I was in Beta and played up about the middle of the 1st expansion, Beyond.. uh, whatever it was.. anyway, I had that triple Rancor glitch! So fun running around with 3 big monsters. cant remember the names offhand but had basically ALL the tamable pets at some point. Droid Engineer/Creature handler LOL. Ended up being a Pistoleer/Swordsman. I was one of the first DE's to craft C3POs and made a killing. Ended up with a very nice mansion in the Corellian Crystal Swamp that was a museum of most of the collectable art at the time. Really do miss that version of the game.
So triggered by the he pronounced Dun Morogh
The pets look cool as hell in starwars be sick having a huge rancor (spelling), it's interesting your point about wow being more structured, I liked that personally I remembered playing runescape before wow and playing 1 player games I think I was like 11 or 12 when I started wow, runescape was mad to me how there was quests but no one did them grinding made more sense it seemed allover the place, I always liked playing storymodes of single player games as well; so wow seemed like my first proper game where thousands of people played and you travelled through a proper world of story I loved it
