Grizzly Hills - Music & Ambience - World of Warcraft
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2024
- The Grizzly Hills, located in southeastern Northrend, is a forested area, surrounded by the Howling Fjord to the south, the Dragonblight to the west and Zul'Drak to the north. It is the homeland of the Grizzlemaw furbolgs. Over 20,000 furbolgs live in this zone, most in the large settlement of Grizzlemaw. Both the dwarven settlement of Thor Modan and Ice Troll/Scourge fortress of Drak'Tharon Keep can be found in the north.
It is similar to other forests during wintertime, except that winter here is year-round. The trees are tall and thick; the pine needles and crisp, clean air produce a pleasant scent, the snow leaves the ground clean and fresh, and the hills themselves are high enough for decent elevation but low enough and gradual enough to be easily climbed. It is one of the nicest regions in Northrend. Dwarves live here at Thor Modan, but they aren’t the only residents. Furbolgs dominate the region, and they make fine neighbors when they’re not attacking. The Scourge has a presence here as well, but not strong enough to do much more than block the northwest corner. Wild animals roam the hills, providing plenty of meat, fur, and entertainment. It is not an easy land by any stretch, but it is handsome, fierce, and full of life.

15 years old, get home from school friday, throw book bag on the bed, kick off shoes, turn pc on, launch WoW. Run to kitchen to grab a snack and a drink. Sits down and logs in, selects lvl 79 ret pally "Kenkay". Guild friends immediately say hi and start chatting it up talking about your plans to play all weekend. The dungeons you guys will run and the group quests you will need help with because you cant solo them. Grinding out that last level to hit 80. You turn your last quest in to get that achievement and BAM! you got it! You guild mates congratulate you, you type in "DING!" in the /1 general chat, all the random strangers in the zone Congratulate you! Not a worry in the world. Life was good.
Lump in my throat reading that wonderful memory. Thank you for sharing.
@@Spudawg damm near cried writing it out myself
and that's when the game actually started.
STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP you bringing back memories from beautiful child days :(
Summed up my experience as well. :)
We played all day, never worrying about anything in life.
Those truly were the days...
I for real miss thoses moments of my life
come back to this music every once in a while... So true man, what a time that was. Nothing else to worry about except hitting level cap and enjoying the frozen tundra. Really wish I could go back before such a miserable time like this pandemic
@@SuperTheTman This pandemic got me back into wow classic. feels good to be home
I read that in Morgan Freeman's voice...
I started playing WOW when I was in my 60s. My wife and I "courted" together in this game. I was Axgood the Orc, she was beautiful Chela the Troll. Now she's 75 and I'm 78. She still plays, but I quit after this expansion. We're sitting here in 2021, back to back, she at her computer, me at mine (Arma 3 and Black Mesa), both of us gulping and shedding tears listening to this music. My brothers and sisters, this is ART.
😭
thank you
Im calling BS
@@rvven2247 forreal aint no nigga in their 70s playin this shit or typing that clear
@@marioman890 not anyone with your brian
Breaks my heart listening to this right now...
Started playing in Vanilla, got my mom into the game, which was good for her because she was having some health problems and the social interactions helped. But I started college shortly after and couldn't make time for it anymore.
Fast forward a few years and Frozen Throne comes out. She's telling me about raiding and her guild, so I join back in, grind up to play in Northrend.
I loved this zone and she and I did spent time here, taking a break from grinding or waiting for guildmates to log in. It was in this zone that she told me she had a new cancer diagnosis and likely only had another year or so.
I think this is the first time I've listened to this music since she died.
damn dude .... someone cutting onions again ...
im sorry about your loss bro
You had a really cool mum :-)
It's cool I needed to cry today
I am very sorry. This is a real pain.
a time forever lost, but always cherished
A time that exists purely in our memories and the times we were having in real life along with them. But in those hills, we escaped it all. We had no idea what strangers would come to have in common.
Reminds me to enjoy my time in the present, so I don't look back on the past wishing I had appreciated it like I do with these times. I really took it for granted.
Wow, my mind has been trying to conjure words like these for a long time to make sense of the feels. This is it.
is this a quote from the game ?? At first I thought it as, but there is not a single result on the (non-deep) web for this sentence except from this video.
this comment did it, this was the one that made me cry
I'll forever have a love for this zone and the music, it was the last place I was leveling with my brother before he died.
Voxtek sorry to hear that r.i.p
Ty so much, it has now been 8 years, and there isn't a day that goes bye, that I haven't wished he was still here. Hold on to your loved ones, every second counts.
Voxtek thank you so much. This was (and still is) my favorite zone in all of WoW. You've made my day. 👌
My heart goes out to you my friend. You've added a bittersweet emotion in this song for me.
I think that is exactly how I look upon this song, even when the expansion first launched this zone always stood out to me. I never knew the reason for it would change in the future, but to look back and have fond memories of him, I wouldn't trade that for anything. Ty all for your kind words, I wish you and your families the very best.
I stopped playing WOW half way through Cata. It just never felt the same. Took one if my oldest Characters, a human warrior who I'd leveled since TBC release. Took one last walk through these woods with him, equipped him with some grey gear shirt and pants and retired in a little cabin in the woods.
And they say he's up there still.
Did a similar thing. After my guild died off, my friends and even my girlfriend stopped playing, I turned my warrior into a fisherman and retired him at the bar in Dalaran's underbelly.
Ты многое потерял. Я пришла в Катаклизме. Там все только начиналось. Попробуй поиграть вновь, тебе понравится))))
He is. We all are.
What was his name, so i can tell his story, and can i visit him?
epic
We're all here for the same reason. These were good times. I miss all of you. Some of you I never spoke to. Maybe a random duel, a rando in a pug dungeon. . . A hordie that would /wave at me while fishing. . . Maybe you mined the saronite I bought at auction. It's good to remember. I hope all of you are doing well.
I was that orc. I miss all of you. I'm not doing that well.
@@JohnDoe-ej3wp keep on keeping on brother
I am. Hope you are doing great too. Life got busy for me and I have long since stopped playing but will always remember the good old days
I was that paladin that tanked a dungeon with you. I miss you, my friend.
You made me cry bro...
Me and my brother, two little kids in a bedroom playing one of the best games ever made.
Now we are older, we live far away from that bedroom, in different countries.
But don't worry! In this magical place we are still together, flying to Dalaran to complete that final quest!
These stories of people logging off forever in some place they love, with their friends or alone, ALWAYS make me emotional
Did the same for my Paladin... my very first Wow-Char.
I visited all the regions that I have kept as good memories... strolled through them. I took hours for this. After taking in everything i found beautiful I went back to the Bloodelf-tutorialarea and sat down at the point, where you start your journey.
And she sits there till this day. Maybe one day... I will awake her from her slumber... Maybe.
The game could be the same but the experience will not. The people will not be the same... hell I am not the same as I was 10 years ago...
It is a bittersweet wish... getting back into the game i loved, hoping to find the same feeling that I, that we all had back then...
But i fear the feeling is lost in time and will be kept in all our hearts until we fade away.
Those times are something that cannot be taken from us.
Bro I never thought I would think or feel this way, but after reading all of these stories about people doing this, I legitimately feel like I have the obligation to do this for my main. Part of me feels so silly with thought of going home and re-downloading this game and getting it one month subscription just to do it, but after all of the years I spent with that character, I feel like I have to do it 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
@@-Shinoray- I logged off my main in Grizzly Hills in 2012. Right next to the waterfall where the bears were located. Might go back someday...but now I have a house, am married, have kids...and trying to run a business. The time simply isn't there. RIP Geologyguy. Still missing ya!
@@nightrunning4eva a few weeks ago i walked near that place with my lv79 warlock and there was a guy named like that, just sitting next to the waterfall, he was there just doing nothing for a long while. I asked what was he doing there alone.
He just smiled at me and said "i'm just waiting for a good old friend" i looked at his hands and face, full of battle scars, he must have went through a lot...
-And how long you've been waiting?
-That's not important (he emotes laughs)
- Maybe your friend is not coming, maybe he just forgot to log in...
-You are new 'round here, aren't you?
-yes, i've been playing just for a few weeks.
(He emotes laughs, put his hand in my shoulder and looked at me, i felt that he wanted to say something important)
-Good friends never forget... they will come back, sooner or later.
-Maybe i can help you find him?
-You could try
- what's your friend's name?
(He smiles)
-His name... was... Thomas...
I promised to come back if i knew something. I summoned my horse to leave, and when i looked back to emote goodbye, he wasn't there anymore... he just dissapeared.
@@nightrunning4eva damn it’s been a decade already?! I logged off in a quiet camp in North Grizzly Hills. I will forever remember the journey
I left a piece of my heart, in a virtual Realm...
That’s a good way to put it. I spent so many years of my life with this game, met so many great people, some who I even met in real life. As pathetic as it may sound to some people, this game was a huge part of my life for a long time. I definitely left a big piece of my heart there as well, and I miss it dearly.
@@gregmitchell8430 This is deep, I didn't know how to put it but you spoke for me. Thanks
As did I, this game played a huge part in my development and I loved it. If it wasn't for WoW, I wouldn't be around to talk about it anymore
❤👏
we all did mate we all did ...
To my mother,
All those years ago, I never imagined you would get so into the game. You accomplished everything at your own pace and slowly outskilled myself and my peers. A woman in her 70s, mopping the floor with us life long gamers. It was so wonderful to brag about you ro guildmates.
Now that you had your health has declined over the years and your last online was over a year ago, I can't help but cry every time I hear this. I love you.
Thats very emotional ❤
Wrath of the Lich King was honestly the best expansion in my opinion. Howling Fjord and Grizzly Hills were so amazing.
Raid's where kinda meh but everything else was A+ the music the questing the lore
@@furydeath ulduar one of the best raids ever was really meh yeah..
i really did not read any quest lines from vanilla to tbc to wrath,. I just click on the npc click accept, go to wowhead for the details. But that all changed until the wrathgate scenario. I was like damn I missed a lot. Since then I read all quest to know the lore.
@@MrSuperbear90 reused naxx, two raids with a dragon, TOTGC.....that alone......
@@zeffmalchazeen3429 didn't even need to read some of them just questing along and BAM lich king kills you xD
This song is like an old and loyal friend resting their arm over your shoulder; "its okay, everything will be alright..."
idk but i feel really strongly over this, i want you to know that you shouldn't judge yourself that hard. it's like i can feel it over here. you don't need to perform that much to be worth something. hope you feel it too
Truly this. I come here when I need to remember, when I need to forget, when... ever.
@@viciouswindstalkers thank you man your comment made me cry and that is good its been 5 years since I last cried
this actually made me tear up a bit :(
feels
I remember starting this game when I was 35 years old in 2007. I was hooked straight away and WoW was ‘ Home ‘ instantly.
I landed a great guild and we spent years and years together. Even when I met my wife and got my 3 wonderful kids with her, there was always loads of time for WoW. With the expansions and years, people started to leave. Every time someone left it felt someone died. People you spoke every day for 10 years , instantly gone..
In 2021 the guild died. I took over the guild and to this day i play alone in there, levelling new alts in WotLK. The best time I had in WoW. There are 166 chars in the guild and with wet eyes I see the names of my old mates offline for over 3 years. I still love questing and raiding with another guild, but I just can never leave ‘ Desperate Murlocs’ on Bronzebeard. The guild where it all began and having the best time…
damn dude that's sad as hell, hope your mates come back someday for memories to revive
Lucky for me I was a kid in 2004 when I started, played for 10 years but most of the people I played with I know in real life. I do however miss being enchanted by the game and exploring its regions, quests and characters.
I feel that my entire server died out when the server was like 99% horde I was the only one left in my guild after playing all of classic
Bronzebeard is my server too as Alliance. I played since vanilla and about 9 months before BC came out. I met my Fiance on WoW and we had finally met in person and we were together for 8 years. We played constantly. While I played up to Shadowlands, it was never the same any more without her and it rips me apart knowing everyone else too are gone and have never returned after Cata. It is strange how a virtual game can have such an life altering affect. I was lucky to have non-toxic friends, the game has such awesome music, and I shall retain heartfelt moments and times of many laughs.
@@musicbycandlelightmbc3225that’s really sad dude. I hope you find new love in a woman and maybe in the game again.
I broke up with my boyfriend for the first time in my life and wasn't taking it well. I closed off people, got into severe depression and even thought of unaliving myself, I was so stupid and young, and he hurt me so much. Then, completely devastated, I got into wow to keep my mind off things, and it helped so much. Month forward, I was happily playing the game, taking my time to explore the world, and loved it so much. I remember spending hours in this zone to catch a spirit bear pet for my character, a night elf hunter. Good times.
I played a night elf hunter in wrath too it was great times
What a beautiful story. Please don’t ever think about hurting yourself, This world and the nice people in it are too precious ❤
I also tried to get that bear. I logged in at night several times while still had to work but one night i finally got it, its with magical
hope your are well now
Hope you are doing better. The right one is on the way.
Everyone has their story about this place. When they felt depressed, alone or wanted to be alone, under the pines looking over to a river. But we enjoyed every bit of it. And it kinda hurts me that I would never experience wow as i once did when i was in my early teens.
Amen Brother / Sister. I still enjoy the music, although in a different way. I always come back to it, like it's a part of my teens and identity. And I'm better for it. Ty Everness and WoW!
So true
Miss good old times in WoW, so sad it wont happen again
i feel your pain bro
Amen to that. I was in my mid 20s playing this. Just got off of a high of hardcore raiding in The Burning Crusade wondering how they could top that.
Even thought TBC is still my favorite Wrath just blew me away with the zones and how well put together it was. Great music, great game, and a great time. Here’s hoping Blizz doesn’t sink too low to not take care of this game.
Fun fact: This is played on a Swedish instrument called a nyckelharpa. A lot of the traditional nyckelharpa songs have a very similar feel to this, if anyone is looking for more :)
where can i find more ?
@@mudzanin9986 "Wild Mountain Thyme" - Nyckelharpa - Mariusz Kornel Radwanski
Or anything by Griselda Sanderson, or Myrkur
Oh I thought it was a Hurdy-Gurdy! It looks like Nyckelharpa is quite similar but played with a bow. Learn something new every day, thanks for sharing :)
yes! nickleharpa is beautiful. I love that you can still hear the keys clicking if you listen closely. I would love to learn to play it.
A Swedish band called Vasen has a tune called Josefins waltz. It's a great nyckelharpa song as well!
33 years old....this takes me to a place I've been a million times but can never go back. I hope it's played at my funeral one day. Just so it's played when I see the boys again 💪
This soundtrack reminds me of my beloved husband who died 2 years ago. He play those WOW soundtracks when I could not sleep.
may he for ever rest in peace hopefully he can live the moments he loved in wow in the after life and enjoy them once again
@@mystic6423 thank you so much 💙
I'm sobbing through memories and I just read this.I am so sorry for your loss, heartfelt condolences! May you honor his existence and carry his light, love with gratitude, spreading kindness! May you meet again, whether in this or another form!
@@lunguvulpescuioanantonio9278 thank you so much. Your comfort means a lot to me.Hope you are doing fine. It's been almost 3 years and I still miss him. Our 2.9 years old son is a precious gift from him.
@@ganpapathsoypethwong4806 when he grow show him the beautiful world his dad enjoyed and the grizzly hills i make an oath to you keep this comment alive and when your son is old enough to play wow ill resub just for him and take him on the beautiful adventuve in the grizzly hills and show him why his dad loved it so much coment back again here when it will be time for it
I remember playing in this zone. It was snowing the whole first week i got this game. Snow and frost at my bedroom window, the sound of my parents downstairs just doing their own thing. Me in my warm room grinding away at something i thought was the best damn game in the world.
Mike. M thanks for sharing that memory. It is so simple yet beautiful.
Mike. M. It was the best damn game, and we have gone home again with classic! Wrath server is just ahead, I’m sure of it!
@@shadowdragon8168 yeah and TBC is now confirmed. im pretty sure eventually WoTLK servers will be out officially too.
willy johnson. I know, doesn’t surprise me at all, can’t wait for the TBC servers!
@@wm1573 Wait is it really? Can you link the source?
I remember back in 2008 when I would play on my dad's WoW account. He ended up so happy that I fell in love with the game that he bought me my own expansion pack (still have that bad boy on the shelf) and subscription. I was only seven years old, but I remember every second of playing through this expansion. Coming home from school, running upstairs to my room and getting on my crappy laptop and launching up WoW. I didn't have a clue what I was doing in the game, but I loved it. I first hit 80 on my human warrior in this very zone (with my fathers help of course). My father was so happy for me that he ran upstairs to talk to me about raiding with him and my uncle. Raiding with my dad, my uncle and all of their friends brings back so many memories. I was just a measly little seven year old playing an arms warrior raiding with his dad. This game made new friendships for me that still live on to this day. This game was my escape from any problems that I was going through. Any hardships. Thank you Blizzard for changing my life back in 2008, I can't thank you enough.
I'd also like to thank my father for introducing me to this wonderful game that we call World of Warcraft. I love you, pops.
Can't really tell you how cool that is man. As a 27 yr old now (playing this around 16/17), that shared experience between you and your dad is gold made in heaven. I don't have a son yet, but that thought arises often of what I'll be sharing and imparting around that age. You obviously sensed his excitement, but I'm sure your interest made him super excited and proud -- more than you probably realize. Cool again to you and your pops.
That’s so damn sweet. WoW brought you and your Dad together and that’s beautiful man. Cherish that memory.
My introduction to WoW was almost the same. He would be flying in Outlands during TBC, and I remember sitting in his lap, mesmerized as he flew over Nagrand. I'd watch him play all the time, and seeing him play in WoTLK was enough to make me want to play, too. WoTLK was my first expansion, I was around 6 and 7 years old. Life was simple, I miss it.
this is wholesome :)
Your dad seems to be a great guy
It's really amazing the effect on people WOW has had....Many years back my best friend and wife went to work one morning and kissed us goodbye and we never saw her again alive (she was killed in a car accident on her way to work) I was left with a 11 year old daughter and both us of were lost. My wife and daughter were very close and after her death my daughter just closed up and refused to even want to have friends anymore.....it was very hard for me to find strength enough for both of us but what choice did I have? I had to find a way to break down that wall my daughter had built around her after the loss of her mother. One day walking through a store I saw WOW classic for sale and decided to get it for her and I to play hoping it would help us grow closer, this was only about two months after WOW had launched. Within a few weeks we found a nice guild many friends and was playing together nightly.......Now she is a healthy, happy woman with many friends and a wonderful future husband.....I can't thank my many friends and guildies that helped her through her dark times enough! The whole WOW experience through the years has had such a positive effect on her. When I saw this zone and listened to the music just now, it brought back all those memories...Thank you
Thank you for sharing your story. I cried the whole time I was reading it. Much love
Incrível sua história, wow sempre estará em meu coração. 🇧🇷💙
Don't be sad you can't go back lads, be happy that it happened. The innocence, the enjoyment, the magic. What a time
Hope the younger generations get to experience moments like 2008 Wotlk with your friends when you knew nothing about the challenges of the world outside and all that mattered was getting that next gear upgrade
Amen brother
Ah. To think what we thought was just an evening spent questing in some MMO would turn out to be cherished memories...
I specifically chose this zone to retire all my 80s because of the peaceful music. My ret pally deserved some measure of peace. Hope him and the rest of my 80s are doing well..
This comment fucking kills me. It's absolutely beautiful.
pHaZe017 this is actually sad
Matthew Loewen IKR ITS SAD
My undead mage was left in Lorderan. My DK is at the DK starting zone. I’m gonna join again when classic starts up, but I’m not sure I’ll wake them.
Wow, I did the same thing... But Idk if they're exactly here, I used to chose this zone to log off with my characters, some should be sitting next to a tree, near the river
When I chain listen to these videos, it's half wanting to hear the nostalgia, and half to read the comments of those that feel the same way as me. I don't play anymore, and I don't expect to ever feel the same way playing this game as when it was new to me, but I could never deny the pure pleasure this game gave to me over the years. I'm always going to find solace in this world no matter my age and I'm happy others feel the same.
its a once in a life time feeling man
Christian Kevin D. my exact thoughts
@Rabbi Goldschlong you are never garuntee "secure" in life. Shit happens in life and can set you back. To believe you are secure forever is foolish.
It's been 2 months since my brother was taken from me. We grew up with WoW, always looking at death from the outside. Always thinking our family would be together. We would always be on these videos, and see the pain, laughter, and nostalgia in the comments. My heart would hurt so bad when I would see someone who had lost a loved one. I always felt so lucky to have my brother by my side, whenever I needed him. Then, in the blink of an eye, he was gone. We had just put my cousin to rest in WoW in July. He passed last year from his battle with muscular dystrophy. I still have the special video we made for him. Now, my brother is gone too. Every time I get on my feet, I fall down again. I wanted him to be there with me till the end. It hurts so bad. Someone's negligence cost my brother his life and now he's gone forever. We had so much left to do. I'll never be able to enjoy being in this world we grew up with again. I hope everyone can come back here with fond memories instead of suffering. Hold your loved ones tight.
I feel really sorry for you dude. No one should go through such hardships..
I appreciate your kindness towards people. I believe that you're strong and kind-hearted person. Take care
I send you energy
I'm so sorry. I lost my mom a few months ago, you're not alone. We'll all meet again someday down the lnie.
I always read the comments of support people take the time to write. We're all strangers, but thank you for everything.
I'm sorry for your loss mate, even if we are all strangers to one another, too many of us can relate. Much love and support. Death is life, it's not a curse, it reminds us of time and what its worth.
22 years old - I remember working shift work at a pulp mill, feeling full of anger/sadness/depression from the toxic work atmosphere that it was. After 12 hours of what amounted to abuse on a normal basis, I would grab the steering wheel with white knuckles and begin to decompress on the way home to our apartment.
I loved the fact that my girlfriend of 3 years was living with me and we both enjoyed playing world of Warcraft since vanilla. I would pull into the parking lot and walk upstairs and turn on the PC. My girlfriend would have some snacks ready for us both, unaware of the troubles I had endured during the shift. With both of our PCs beside each other, (so we could see each other's screens) we would log in at the same time and count our line in the Queue while seeing that awesome new WOTLK loading screen, trying to figure out who will get in first, it was so close. (Me - Orc Warlock - Demonatic. Her - Blood Elf Hunter - Talyiah) While waiting for our turn to join the world, we would discuss our plans on what to accomplish. I was excited to be a higher level and look out for her. I would protect her from the opposite faction, and hold off elites long enough for her to escape troubling situations!
Grizzly hills was the zone we would turn down the game sound effects so we could barely hear them, and crank up the music.
There I was. Beside the girl I loved. Some homemade snacks she made for us with love, and a cold drink of mountain Dew. Forgetting all about the horrible shift at the mill. We would sit beside each other and enjoy the company. Share goals, and what we needed help with. All of the sadness and anger flushed away, just like that. Sitting there in grizzly hills, feeling peaceful.
33 years old - I now have a family with that woman. Made the hard decision to leave that abusive workplace 4 years ago. Couldn't be happier.
I have an appreciation for video games and how they can provide moments of peace when it seems unobtainable. I will remember that with my own kids.
This man. This.
When I see comments like this I always dread seeing loss followed, I'm glad to see you're in a happy place
Glad you found what make you happy man wish u all the best
Congrats! A happy ending
u made me cry man. i hope ur doing good and happy.
Grizzly Hills probably has my favorite soundtrack out of every place in WoW.
Along with Howling Fjord.

Ouf, there is so many parts in the game that are brilliant. Even dalaran!
ashenvale one as well

"I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them."
i'll always be thankful to my dad for showing me this game. all he did was have me do some fishing for him while he was busy cooking dinner, but i was hooked instantly, and within a couple years i had my first toon, with him carrying me through high level dungeons and raids for better gear. he had me wait in grizzly hills for a while once, to get the rare spirit beast, while he was in the kitchen, and it's one of my most fond memories, just chatting while we both listened out for the sound of his rare alert addon. the last time we got to do dungeons together was in BFA, him helping me get my ilevel up and hit 120 before the squish. he passed away before dragonflight came out. it's tough knowing i'll never have him carry me through another instance, congratulate me on a new mount drop, whisper me while we played together to ask what i wanted for dinner that night. thank you so much for showing me this game, dad. i hope wherever you are, you finally managed to get that damn horse to drop from ICC.
I'm truly sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. I hope the memories comfort you and ease the hurt if only for a time.
Sorry for your loss. Your dad sounds so amazing.
This is truly powerful music, just BRIEFLY reading through the comments. I am not the only one who played in this zone with someone who is no longer here. I spent a lot of time in this zone with my father, we would often find ourselves venturing away from the quests just to view the zone and enjoy the music. May he rest in peace, 25 years old in my opinion is a bit young to lose a father.
If one wants to get in touch with their emotions one need only to put on this clip and start reading the comments ♥
"Kept you waiting, huh?"
Snake!!!!
I would love you to do Icecrown (the zone, not the Citadel) next. An hour of dread, somber and frightning music, but not scary, just chills down the spine. I'd love it.
what snake has to to do with grizzly hills? xD
"Kaz, I'm already a Tauren."
i guess this is from a quest or NPC? If yes....which one?

The last social and best expansion. Where everyone you encountered was friendly. Getting invites to groups and you all talk about life, happiness, sadness, etc.. Guild-mates are there and help you with every growth you make. Strangers, friends, and guild-mates are all congratulating you for hitting 80. Many memories have been made in Wrath of The Lich King.
big nostalgia lie
@@Bonebounder93 depends on teh server probably. i played on a small one and this was generally true
Strangely enough, I play a bit of modern WoW every now and then, and there are quite a few people my age (37) around. We talk a lot, don't really do much of anything competitive, but it's still rather lovely. I really loved the jungles of Zuldazar in the last expansion.
It was all downhill from here
Every time I go out partying, at the end of the night I come home and listen to wow music in bed and relive what it was like to be 12/13 again.
Wait till you hit your 40s and still do that, except no partying. You just kinda let the music flow through the windows of ur living room and dream again...
Skyrim Overworld Music Night Time Ambiance and Tundra are awesome!
Sanket Matu thanks for this reply I hope one day In the future I get old enough to relate and someday come back to this comment !
@James Fawcett. Appreciate it man! And you are welcome. Too often do we glide through life without time for appreciation and positive reflection. Your comment made me smile, and made my day. Good day brother :)
I suppose that is why you don't bring any women home.
I come here and I cry from a place of both sadness and joy. Thank you for the stories. Thank you for the art. Thank you for your beautiful hearts. You matter.
This was from a time in WoW's history where amazing memories were being made for a lot of people. It was the peak of WoW's subscription count. It was also a time where you could almost feel the love Blizzard's put into their content.
💯/2010 wow hit it’s 12 Million sub peak and went downhill ever since. For me it will always vanilla tbc wotlk. God, I cannot believe I’m talking about 2010 as the past.. time went by too fast
AMEN brother. I was there!
It was also the time, I'm embarrassed to say, I dumped a broad for the game XD We probably should be married. Damn you, Blizzard!
wotlk was when i entered wow...got me through some tough, emotional times....
Yup memories like eating some seeds, taking a laxative, pooping them out, then putting them back in the bucket for the next passerby to repeat the cycle haha
I was in high school when WOTLK came out. I had played WoW since vanilla, I was about 13 years old then. If there's one thing I remember about this game is the music. The music is one of the things that truly made this game what it was. This soundtrack is simply beautiful.
What got me into WoW was not the grind, the gear, the raids, the progress, the rat race that it became. No. It was the little things. Entering Goldshire's inn for the first time and seeing night elf players sitting on chairs and just socializing, it was finding and reading all those lore books spread out across the world, paying for pet slots in the stables and then discovering that was useless because I was a warrior and I thought that's how I would get a mount, and then someone telling me that I actually needed to wait to level 40 and then buying them at a vendor, figuring out how to fish, travelling to Darnassus, all the way from Ironforge to the Wetlands, just because I wanted my character to learn how to use a bow. Waking up early before school to do a few quests in Duskwood or risk myself going to Booty Bay and dying several times along the way to ganks and high level tigers. It was the sheer realization that I just entered a world so vast and so deep that I would never fully experience it myself. A world made alive by all the NPCs, all the little stories and quests and all the players that inhabited it. A world that was mysterious and as much as I would explore, there would always be something else in the shadows left to discover. Someone to talk and play with. Those were the really cool moments, because you couldn't survive nor thrive in this world alone. It was about grouping up with others to complete quests that you couldn't otherwise attempt. Making new friends from across the world.
I remember buying and mounting the black stallion, my first mount, in Arathi Highlands with my online friends. I remember going into Karazhan and inevitably wipe the raid over and over again because I wanted to do big damage, was impatient and pulled mobs or took too much aggro. I remember never had any success with raids until WOTLK came and I started to make my own raid groups, because everyone started to look to achievements and gear level and judge you, and lots of people got left out. I proudly display the title Champion of the Frozen Wastes since then, because it took me a lot of effort to finally put together a group that was able to take down Malygos, and I did. I remember Ulduar as this amazing, mythical raid that was fearsome at the time. I took down Mimiron, but sadly, never Yogg-Saron. But before that, I remember taking the ship to Borean Tundra, and starting my Northrend adventure from then. I remember that amazing piano track in Dragonblight, and I remember a nasty winter setting in and basically freezing in real life while in virtual life I was making my way through Zul'Drak, and that was like both me and my character facing an unforgiving cold environment together.
I could go on and on. Point is, WoW was a game that I'll always remember fondly. It had it's problems, I could have spent more time doing other, healthier things than spending hours in front of the computer. It was unhealthy for me in a way. But in another way, it was such an incredible experience that I'm so grateful that I lived. Things will never be the same. I'm much older now. The world changed. I will never be able to game in such a care-free way again. There will never be another game that makes me feel so amazed, so invested, so immersed in a new, mysterious, exquisite world like WoW. My character, my warrior, wasn't just an online toon. It was a fragment of myself, a self that I couldn't otherwise express. Unfortunately, WoW died back in Cataclysm. It just would never be the same again. I still played ocasionally until Legion, defeated Argus and then retired. And even though that was an amazing expansion, the best since WOTLK, the truth is that, for me, the golden days of WoW were long over. Those days from Classic and WOTLK (TBC isn't as memorable to me as those two expansions) were, for me, the golden days of WoW, not only one of the best gaming experiences I had, but one of the best life experiences I had. So, I thank the original developers of this amazing game. It isn't the epics, the arena ratings, the achievements, the mounts, or any of those things that I hold on to. It is the memories and the little things. Those are the things that truly matter.
ypu SAY its about grouping up... level 64 solo holy priest, here XD I didn't make it past WotLK, but god damn it, I earned every level =D
Every now and then I come back to this song and skim through the comments, all of them seem to hone in on Wrath being most memorable
But your comment is the one I can identify the most with. My warrior was also a reflection of me, sort of. Was it the healthiest way to live, playing so much? Absolutely not. Will I ever forget the times I had, the friends I made, or regret it? Absolutely not.
I never made it past TBC in retail WOW, but man, it was so much fun playing with my brother when WOW first came out. I was a warrior and he was a warlock and we just ran around Barrens until we found RFC and we could not figure out how to kill the first elite pack in there. We just kept dying over and over again. Took us like a week or two to realize there were healing classes in the game. I'll never forget it.
I had no idea how good how good the game was back then, or how special it was to me. I took it for granted.
We all did. All we can do is smile because we were there.
i want it back, we all want it back, but they are memories now. all we can do is move on and make new memories, together. i miss old school wow, coming home after school excited to play more wow, and now we're grown up huh. time really does move fast, the old days will always be in our hearts. from one player to another, Glory to the alliance!
My Belf hunter is still here, or in the Barrens. Retired from adventuring and living a simple life. Fishing. And remembering. So many adventures. So many friends. Every evening "wasted" playing a game. It was all worth it.
Sitting there after some quest grind. Taking a break while eating dinner in front of the computer. Called my grandma, 8000 miles away in another country while listening to this music in game. Grandma wanted me to come back during Christmas. I told her I will see if I have enough time during winter break from collage. Grandma said she misses me a lot. I said that I miss you too. She passed away from throat cancer not long time later.
I thought I was invincible, I thought she would never go.
If this isn't played at my funeral Im not going.
Brilliant ♥
I was 12yrs when WOTLK came out. Remember being in Stormwind docks waiting with hundreds of other players until midnight until the first ships sailed to Northrend... Signaling the beginning of the new expansion. each of us counting down the clock minute by minute, standing next to each other whilst talking to one another on Ventrilo.
The extreme hype of several hundred WoW gamers waiting for the same time for a ship to set sail. When the time came and you counted down, then boom! the ship *jolts* and sets off, it was the hypest experience ive had in an online game, ever. in the decades of gaming, in my life.
WoW classic through wothlk was a special thing. Choosing between Borean Tundra or Howling Fjord it felt like a real; you're the first adventurers being sent in on a new continent. Landing involving doing fighting with all your fellow players as there seemed to be plenty of enemies to fight (excluding quest specific bosses, or nodes) it felt like a real online fantasy battle at the time. It's still today will always be dear in my heart.
But from 2004-2008 there was a different kinda vibe from the game. small quests being long, and long quests being small, all the weird NPCS in the old world. The barrens chats, for the children [Achievement chat], gurabashi arena, twinking, moonguard, ganking, camping, spawn camping, starting zone camping, or just waiting for a certain quest NPC to spawn after 5mins.
The absurd specific requirements in level time frames that were not at all balanced. Quests that could require higher level dungeons for quest items would be given out all the time, only for players to attempt. sometimes at far distances. At times failing, but persistanting in a futile attempt at a higher level quests given to them, until sometimes by miracle. either by sheer kiting finesee another player came along and helped you on your quest. But this required a good amount of time traveling between objectives.
long time in WoW you got your first 60% mount at lv40. So up until then; you walked or used either Grypons/Wyvern.
This could have great variance upon each expedition; as the influx of players and player intentions can change at different times. depending on the server, so roaming groups of gankings, faction agitators, bots, cheaters were high during these times.
On the low times. there could be an eerie calm to your server. where it was somewhat quite and there was no big conflict.
questing in neutral zones and seeing the enemy faction, and perchance happen to slash /wave, /bow, /dance,/wave and go your separate ways. Questing and gathering in the same area. little moments that you cant replicate naturally with modern game design intentions. weird neutral faction markets and AH, with all sorts of obscure neutral factions that have your BiS but you gotta grind for hours to get enough rep with them first, before theyd sell it to you. Often at times coming into conflict with other players. All the little moments and interactions, from those who played with.
Players who played from 2004 - 2010. Ill always remember all of you..
good luck, everyone I hope the best for you guys/gals/thems/ and everyone in-between, those who played gnomes,.. trolls,.. undead, and fem taurens. you too, are seen, and this is coming from a Human Paladin, who has slain a many of you only to bubble hearth, away >:). wish you the best of luck to all of you and everyone with all your collective adventures, ahead!
P.S. I loved Cataclysm I thought it was a really good boundary pushing expansion and in hindsight this would be true. still holding up as one of thee greatest expansions of all time, for WoW.
The most valuable asset we have is time, I’m glad we all experienced this priceless period of low responsibility and having friends we thought we’d have forever, cherish the now but never forget
Little did I know.. flying around doing my dailies.. that I had been in heaven without realizing it in the moment
Sometimes I wish I actually quit during cata or wod, because i'll never get back these moments, not even just wotlk but halo 3 and mw2, it was just pure joy no bullshit
@@NonsensicalSpudz twas a simpler time brother
I miss the hills to this day bois
Everytime I would fly over Grizzly Hills to get somewhere, I paused a little moment, just to listen to that wonderful soundtrack. ♥
The Amberpine Lodge was the place I decided to log off my paladin for the last time. Grizzly hills will always hold a special place in my heart. Memories of a better time.
Light be with you.
14:17 to 16:05. What beautiful music. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t played WoW understands the feelings evoked by listening to this music. I played from 2007 to 2011 or so, quit after WotLK. This game helped me through some really troubled times. I’ll never forget it. I hope all of you are doing well :)
Why don't u come back?
@@DanTheTanned I tried. It didn’t feel the same and I just couldn’t get immersed like I used to
This music feels very Aaron Copland-esque, in the vein of Appalachian Spring.
This is my fav part as well. I used to fly around Grizzly Hills hoping to hear this music, trying to pin point the specific area where I would hear this music hahahah.
oh man, the music you marked.. soulmate:)
I will never forget my love and 2nd childhood in WoW. Heavy heart. I miss so everyday... you will never be replaced. Love you.
This game... gone from my life but never forgotten. The nostalgia will always remain.
At times real life is just overwhelming, at times the spark of wow just isn’t there anymore and it’s not fun, sometimes I stop playing for an open ended amount of time. But just knowing that Azeroth is there, and will be there for us for a while, truly, deeply comforts me during dark times.
My heart just melted, It feels like I have the ability to hug my childish soul again, a time that is long gone and the only thing left is the bittersweet taste of something beautiful that at least I got to enjoy it very much.
"In the walls of the memory the remembrance is the picture that hurt the most"
Love you people, stay safe, enjoy the moment, hug your love ones and never take anything for granted.
miss my game friends I played with. Hope that they still enjoy their life anywhere.
I miss them so bad
Me too
@@robinvooijs why don’t we just start playing?
Nostalgia, surge of emotions. I wish I could go back in time to the period when I was playing wow and stay there forever. Tried to play now but it doesn't feel like before.
Darklanov oh yes, I know exactly what you are talking about....
me too......
Classic has returned
If I could pull an Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on myself and selectively erase my memory, it would be of playing WoW, so I could go back and enjoy it again before I stopped being able to enjoy it
This is where I left my character when I quit the game, to rest.
Rip
I miss you so much. Too all the souls who grew up in this game and now are forever gone. Salute, im tearing up.
It's amazing how much time has passed, yet still this game is a part of us. Greetings from 2009/10 to 2021
yes I was in 1 year from release. and looking back it's incredible how much I love this place
greetings from 2023
Was 18, finishing my first semester of uni. I remember I couldn't continue with the amount of work I had. I spent a few days playing and saying my good-byes to everyone. It made me think of the times in middle-school when I would sprint home to play with my friends. I wanted the same imagination I had playing this game as a kid - where it wasn't just about stats, numbers, or who had the best gear. I wanted to play for adventure, discovering new zones/ music, and who had the coolest looking gear. I spent my final day just flying around in Northrend and finally landing here to log off one last time. I wish I could have the experience of playing this game for the first time again.
Well said.
Somehow Grizzly Hill's made you feel like you were right there walking amongst the trees or overlooking hills and the water. Now when I see views like this in real life I cant help but hear this song playing in my head for a bit.
My favourite place in wow of all time so many good memories here.
Ah man.. the memories this music brings, the slow mount walk around the area, the small peaceful moments on top of the mountain overseeing the area. And then at brink of a moment a small log out and never to return again.. Being a hunter in this area and just exploring around was on my best memories of this game. Salute to the best expansion of WOW. Time has passed but memories created shall cherish forever.
My dad introduced me to WoW, back in late 2010 when I was just five years old. It started with me seeing him play his Tauren Druid on an old pc he had in his machine shop next to the door. I asked him if I could play to and he picked me up and set me on his lap and began teaching me the basics on how to move. And before long I was jumping his character off Thunder Bluff and undressing him down to the boxers to take “baths” in the nearest water source. Then I figured out how to make my first character, with his help of course. A goblin hunter I named after myself. I wasn’t too great with names at the time. I remember coming home from school and asking him to type in the password on the nearest computer and I stayed on for hours playing WoW just running around on my hunter with her loyal companion pet crab whom I named Crabby. I explored all the nooks and crannies and came across Deathwing, whom flew over head breathing fire down on Kezan. My character was unfortunately caught in the blaze and died. Eventually I made my way to the Lost Isles. When the cinematic for leaving Kezan played I cried. I still cry to this day when I see it. When I finished the Lost Isles storyline and finally got to Durotar, my quest reward of choice was the bracers named Thrall’s Gift, not because of the stats, but because of the name. I felt like it was a personal gift from Thrall. When I got better bracers from a quest, I just couldn’t part with Thrall’s Gift, so I put it in the bank. I was not happy when years later I found out that my dad sold them. My grandfather also played WoW, introduced by my dad and his friend. My grandpa’s main character was a human hunter. I remember when I was young, around 6-7, whenever I slept over at my grandparents, I would be woken up by the sounds of him playing WoW around 6:30 ish. He sadly was forced to quit WoW soon after Legion came out due to a stroke. I remember trying to teach him how to play again but he sadly couldn’t move his hands the way he used too. He passed away two years ago from natural causes at 89 years old, exactly one month before his 90th birthday. I miss those days. Love you grandpa. ❤
I’m now 18, living in Oregon with my mom. I’m the biggest WoW fan of my family. I’ve never stopped from the day I’ve started. I play all versions minus hardcore. My dad still plays on occasion but life has gotten in the way. I’ve gotten much better at names and now play a night elf hunter named Lydiana with her trusty owl companion Velara. I’m absolutely loving Dragonflight and Wotlk and can’t wait for what comes next.
I love you dad, and I can’t thank you enough for starting me on this journey, from humble beginnings in Kezan to the present day, wandering through the lush glades of the Waking Shores and the bustling streets of Valdrakken.
It’s a little corny, but thank you Blizzard, for making all this possible.
Happy adventuring everyone! Elune’adore!
Sad days now..so much has changed..like Preach said recently in his video that he is no longer covering wow..."I don't even recognize this game anymore, it's not the game I fell in love with" that hurts to hear, because it's true now for so many people.
Some say it's just a game...
No..it's memories, it's people we meet and shared moments with and then were gone.
It's the history of our journey through a time we will always remember everytime we hear something that takes us back to those special moments that mean so much.
Rest easy friends, we we're lucky enough to play at the best time.
Over ten years ago now, I fell in love with the Grizzly Hills. I'm from the Pacific Northwest, and it is the best recreation of the forests of my home state I have ever seen in a game
This was everything for me and my friends. WoW is in such a terrible place right now and it tears me to pieces knowing what it once was. Bittersweet hearing this again. I’ve played WoW since vanilla and it almost feels like it’s time to let it go. I wish it didn’t have to be this way. I’m flying to grizzly hills right now-probably for the last time. I hope this place brings peace to whoever needs it and adventure to whoever craves it. I’ve had some of the best times of my life in WoW. This zone will always be my favorite. Thank you Blizzard of olde. Rest In Peace.
I know it won’t be the same, but you can hop into a private blizzlike wotlk server and relive some memories!
WoW is not a terrible place rn. Nostalgic is great but meh we are on 2022. Things just change and you are just older.
@@zeddys2702 I'm sorry but no, WoW is absolute shit compared to previous xpacs. Current game design with legion-slands of this infinite grind of a treadmill system with the most alt punishing systems around.
The game is nothing compared to wrath
There are very cool server softwares out for wotlk servers with npc bots where you can build an npc and play wow once again as a single player experience. It is a lot of fun.
@johnrecker Dragonflight is merely an okay expansion and after years of being forcefed steaming piles of dogshit an okay expansion without broken systems or half baked ideas apparently is enough to win over people with stockholm syndrome.
No, dragonflight is not great. It's alright, definitely not worth coming back to retail if you hate it.
Goddamn, it's been years since I cried this much, this is far from just nostalgia, these are truly beautiful pieces of music that touch the soul. Russell Brower is a genius.
WotLK was by far my favorite expansion, and this zone is one of the reasons why. Very cool story I have. I've caught up to and spoken with him in-person, twice now. I thanked him for the gift of his music throughout the years, but I also asked him the second time at BlizzCon 2015, what inspired him to write the music for Grizzly Hills. Turns out, it was originally intended as a wedding anthem! It explained so much, the sheer beauty and serenity... I smiled so big when I heard that. Any of you folks ever meet him, ask him and he'll tell you the same. :)
The same theme is done in variations, but it's the particular song at 12:20 that I'm talking about... ahhh man, goosebumps.
You have met with an expansion in person? Wow.
I have to do my dailies!!!
TBC was better as far as progression goes, wellfare epics system was bad towards end of wrath but it was an amazing expansion
@Samuel I don't know.... even though there were a couple "welfare epics" per tier that you could get in wrath....it was not an entire set; so it seemed far more effective in convincing people to give real raiding a try.
Oh, the memories... this music, this zone, all those wonderful memories and friendships from so long ago. Nothing can ever take those memories from us. Not even the people who have taken over now, with their fruit obsession and their belief that their vision of WoW is the only one worth having. What most people who have not been with us back in the days of Vanilla, BC, and Wrath will never understand, is that we remember those days so fondly not because the game was so great, but because of the people we got to share our time with. The community made this game what it was and while replaying the old game in Classic and BC Classic was a nostalgia trip, it can never be the same. Because now we are only hunting those fond memories, back then we made them... Cherish those memories, they will always bring a smile to your face whenever the real world looks bleak...
Listening to this and reading the guys comment just reminds me wow will always jist be nostalgia now no matter what they do. They can never bring THAT back😢
I grew up in a broken home, with my only release, my only way to cope, and the only place I felt at home in WoW. I played every expansion through, but dragonflight just lost the magic.
Now I sit here, a broken shell, morning and lamenting the time lost. God what I wouldn't give to have it back, to go back to a simpler time. To be back in the hills for the first time once again.
Hearing this is like falling into the arms of an old lover. One you were with for a long time and truly cared for, but had to leave because they’d changed into someone you didn’t love anymore. The music of Grizzly Hills was “our song”.
And just like “our song” causes your mind to linger for a moment on the smell of her hair, this score bubbles up long forgotten memories that have been buried for many years, and in that moment I feel like I’m there again. It’s a time machine that can drop you back into that sweet moment when you first beat the Lich King as if you were there again watching Arthas die in Terenas’ arms.
I played WoW from the day it first came out, and the experiences I had with people I’d never met IRL but came to know better than most of my childhood friends, were powerful and real. So these mournful melodies and folksy riffs are imprinted on my soul like the smell of my grandma’s house - I can’t avoid being transported back for a moment when I hear them - the Grizzly Hills score is built for nostalgia.
But stepping back into the rush of being in love inevitably leads to re-living the sting of letting it go, and hearing this you feel a sense of loss for a time that was special and unique that know you’ll never experience again. This music makes me feel young, and happy, and alive in a way I just can’t get to anymore.
So, like my old lover, I have to remember the good times and then let them go over and over through the years as a bittersweet keepsake from a once passionate relationship that I only get Christmas cards from now.
After 13 years of WoW, I finally called it quits. Haven't logged in for more than a year, and I'm alright with it. Mostly because I learned how to play Dungeons and Dragons, and now I am running my own campaign that is set in the world of Vanilla Azeroth. Those 13 years of exploring Azeroth aren't going to waste :)
One day, my players will make it here, and I will be able to queue this track as I describe the majesty of the Grizzly Hills.
Great Idea!
Love that, enjoy the epic quests you send your denizens on, to this lovely music!
This song really sums up life. It starts off hopeful and upbeat, full of joy about the future without a care in the world. Towards the middle more melancholy themes come in, you are growing up, seeing family get old and pass on, having responsibilities, learning the world isn't all its made out to be. Then finishing off, you're grown up, nothings left but the memories, you sit reflecting on the good times you had growing up but it's all gone now, just like everything else.
Try prozac and learning to accept things out of your control.
omg man this is exactly right
I love you guys, sometumes its nice to read these comments when im having a rough day. Thanks for the stories
When this whole Coronavirus thing started, the first thing I did was to buy a 3-months pre-paid card for WoW. Time to relive those memories with my newly found free time :)
well now that your prepaid card ran out, where did you manage to get to? did you buy more time? are you still playing? or did you just level up a character and leave it in grizzly hills forever.
@@nikolaradulov3322 Bought them on Kinguin, did not buy more time as my workplace returned to full capacity. Would love to level up forever in Grizzly Hills.
@@shaharlevy8885 I tried doing the same thing with private servers and classic. The thing I learned was there's no experience like the first time you play wow. It's a totally different game the second time around, which is where I learned that it's better to make new memories instead of reliving old ones.
Wrath of the lich king was one of the best wow Addons ever!! I miss these old times
So many good memories listening to this, I hope when my time comes I can listen to it one last time on the way out.
One can never truly quit WoW. I used to play ALL day for years, but I stopped playing around legion. I still always come back to these videos and remember all of the nostalgia that was 6 years of my life. I miss it.
12:30 onward is so beautiful. Brings a tear to my eye.
I don't know if Onward includes the bit that begins around 1420, but that is amazing too.
+Craig Swogger Yep, that part too. :)
i cri everteim.
All of it is beautiful and brings a tear to my eye :(
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that felt the same. What a game, such memories and such nostalgia... What is the name of that part of the music? Anyone know if it's available standalone on any other video?
warms my heart to see im not the only one who has "retired" toons in grizzly hills. left my goblin hunter from cata next to one of the water falls and he's still there to this day
I’m playing wrath classic as we speak and when I entered grizzly hills it was like seeing an old friend for the first time in years :)
its never the same as we felt 13 years ago...
Never fails to get me emotional... start the healing process.
Enjoy life guys - it has so much in store for you.
Such a great zone. Blizzard really did a great job with this zone it was almost like you could smell the pines and feel the wind. I think that this zone is full of nostalgia
I’ve been here a long time ago, it brings tears to my eyes to relive the moments when life was easy and full of adeventure. Nothing till this day will ever compare to this feeling. I may not be the best player but sure did the most to enjoy my journey in the woods of grizzly hills. Wish time could go back😢
You know, after spending so much time in Stormwind, Ironforge, Orgimmar, and Undercity, you never realize how heavy the weight of those cities' soundtracks weigh on your head until you come to Grizzly Hills and a single violin outperforms the orchestras of the capital cities at making you feel safe and calm
Back when people used the internet to come together and have fun... what a time.
If I'm ever asked what my favorite zone in WoW is, I'll direct them to this video.
Thomas Campbell yeah this zone burns its way on a side of heart and never let go
The dailies, enough said.
There is the music and then there is Mr Floppy's Perilous Adventure. The Nr1 reason to roll alliance at all. If you have never done that quest, go there and do it NOW. :) It is worth leveling an ally toon just to do this one quest.
"Don't go into the light Mr Floppy!" :)
Howling Fjord looks great :)
46:32 smiling with tears, on a sunny cool Friday afternoon in late November, knowing that the holidays are coming, (sound) you get the inv to do an elite quest.. oh man, what a time it was
I think the arrangement at 25:55 to 29:25 pulls the hardest at my nostalgia heartstrings. The harp, horns, flute, violin and choral vocals overlaying the sounds of wind in the trees and birdsong is absolutely masterful.
Reminds me of a time that was amazing and I didn't even know it....and now....age, decline, sadness. Take me back.
So much nostalgia... i was in grizzly hills when my husband told me his feelings for me during WoTLK, we met during Burning Crusade but did not become the couple we are today until Wrath... Oh how i miss WoW as it once was...
You got married because of this game? LOL.

@@rushthatspeaks9467 I can certify you that lots of people have met and married in wow. I know 2 and I don't know that many persons. I know it sounds strange and a nerd might not believe it cus it can actually be the coolest too good to be true thing to happen. It does man. I had made a guild just for the fun of it and we were a bunch of friends in there, not enough for raiding but we were just goofing around. A few people we had fun with joined. I stopped playing wow but I still had a few friends on Skype and other messaging app. One day we talk with one of my old friends and he tells me he's married and lives in an other country. He adds: its all thanks to you mate! I'm like.. What? And he goes on saying it was someone who joined our guild and that it wouldn't have happened otherwise. Not sure how I felt about this statement but anyway, yeah it happens.
The first track is BY FAR my favorite in the entirety of World of Warcraft. Nothing can compare.
Never actually listened to Grizzly Hills, always turned off music when the track upon entering almost blew out my eardrums. now listening to it makes me wish I had. How could this track be any more emotional?
If I could live in any place on Azeroth it would be the Grizzly Hills, so I can be in WoW’s timeless zone, where I can remember my friends who no longer play and the good memories we made.
This song moves me tears every time I hear it.
WOW will always be apart of my life.
My dad, mom, brothers, aunts, and uncles played this all in the household.
Forever my family treasure.
Wow, sounds like the family I always wished for but never had.
Been playing this game since the beginning, where you could walk off the edge of the unfinished world. The time I have spent on this game, some might say a waste. But the friends that have come and gone, I will always remember. Watching these and listening to the music brings back so many memories. Now my son plays and raids with me, just hope he has these great times and memories as well.
Time is funny. Sometimes I come back here, back to Grizzly Hills. Just to remember. It’s been like, what, a decade? My friends got children, families and responsabilities.
Sometimes I come back to Grizzly Hills to visit simpler times. We were young and full of adventure. We spent so much time exploring Grizzly Hills and I’m now just starting to realize it was all about the journey all along.
A journey with good friends is worth a thousand lifetimes. Who cares where we all end up as long as we had fun along the way
I'm home...
alotosius yes sir
