Elwynn Forest-Music
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2010
- Since Cataclysm will not only change the face of Azeroth, but the music from each original zone. Here now, I give you the original Elwynn Forest music. Composed by Jason hayes, Tracy W. Bush, Derek Duke, and Glenn Stafford.
Not like a game i once played, but a place i once visited.
So true. #thefeels
Damn right man.
:'(
Dude you are so damn right im crying right now. It's not only a game its a memorie of a place that will last forever.. Only a few people will ever understand the magic we experienced.. Creating your character, finding new friends, exploring the unknown massive world... this is just magic...
the wörldd
I wonder what all the people I used to play with are doing right now...
I miss them all...
I played from late 2006 till 2017 I know the feel, all of my friends save for one have stopped.
same man
probably wondering why we wasted so many years playing this game when we coulda been doing anything else
ryouma1717 when I look back at the disgusting amount of time I played it is a bittersweet feeling. People moved on and grew up. Thankfully I did too.
@@conorjohnmcnulty127 i wanna start playing official wow. Never played it
im fucking sad right now... wish i could go back to being 10
private servers are around my friend
+Angelo doesn't bring you back to how _you_ were, just how the game was. You can't discover Elwynn anew with wonder in your eyes.
Angelo I actually started playing Warmane (private WotLK), its awesome!
***** Warmane.com. there you can download the game, there are many options depending on the expansion you wanna play. the most popular one is WotLK, this is where i play. after you make an account and download the game you will be able to create characters in 3 different realms each having different features. One of the realms is Lordearon, classic WoTLK but has a disabled dungeon finder for example.
***** nope, a normal download
this game didnt just entertain us , it gave us a secondary life where we could live in
Still does for me, although friends who don't play can be jackasses. You're just sitting at your computer, minding your own business while you journey through Elwynn on your way to Stormwind and get that look on your face that "man, this is beautiful" and your friend will come up and say "yo, get a reality check. Live a real life." Then your friend is dead on the floor for reasons unknown to you..
Amen to that brother
As a sufferer of social anxiety, I agree with you.
just relax and get yourself some rapsody malt in goldshire drinks are on me !
Awesome.
this song...2005...hit right in the feels...
Heaviest feels.
you guys gonna do wow vids on the nevermind channel?
you used the tune for the end of youe pickup line feelings. haha
nobody makes me feel my own feels :(
right in da feels, I am feeling too much
Local Defense: Goldshire is under attack!

+xecck
FOR THE HORDE.......i was there just for the music xD
+xecck Saldeans farm in westfall always is under attack too by dumb rogues
+creeperfriendlyhugs credit to this guy haha
I remember when Goldshire proper had a fucking Infernal plop down right in the middle of it, all the low level players were running like hell from it due to it being level '??', while there were higher level players trying to kill it.
I remember getting so scared over that when I was a little kid just thinking I would get hunted down by some horde player, such great memories XD stitches gave me nightmares
1:32 I'm here just because of this
You're not alone ._.
Ahhhhhh yes
goosebumps
Tu ru ru ru, turu ruru tararara raaaaaaa.
Aren't we all...
Back when life was beautiful and only lag could bring us down...
this song is so painfully nostalgic it brings a tear to my eye. Ah, good times...
+Rouvenor I know man! Can't really say if I feel happy or sad now.. :P
It feels just like home 🥲🥲😭
This music really summed up, like going in to a big forest and not knowing how big the world really is... nostalgia over 9000
SwedishHouseFifa nostalgia can be overwhelming. I’ve restarted and quit so many games because of something simple
There is a saying "Dont be sad because its over, be happy because it happened" I am happy it happened, but i wanted it to last forever :(
***** Yeah, but it's not the same.
Back in the pre-cata days, you could always go to Goldshire to have a conversation with people, watch people dueling and other fun stuff. It's pretty much dead now (on my server anyways), which kinda speaks for how much the game and community itself have changed over the years.
Edge of Sanity i know :( i want to cry..
Edge of Sanity On my server it's alive, alot of people dueling and talking. I play on Kel'thuzad in case you were wondering.
Alex Parcell That's US I guess? I play on EU, sadly :(
The kobolds have been slain, the wolves were skinned, and the local Defias threat had been subdued. Mcbride tucks his papers into your front pocket and sends you off to Goldshire; your time in the Abbey was over.
Past the gate to the Abbey, your eyes widen with the overwhelming freedom. No longer were you cradled in the bosom of the local church; being past the first level, you could finally hold your own against the dangers that dwell around you.
As you venture off, the woodland breeze tousles your hair and rustles your Wine-Stained Cloak as you tread along the beaten cobble road. The rays of light shimmering past the leaves above were inviting, yet somewhat betraying. The world of Azeroth was now yours to explore; you gaze about the trees in such wonder and awe. Your Militia weapon stirs in your holster as you head out into the Elwynn Forest -- the great green unknown.
Now lay down in fetal position, because you will never have this feeling again like in 2004.
I remember me buying armor in Goldshire's Blacksmith. LoL

Hooray! Someone who also saw the great sense of adventure MoP brought! I'd kill for an expansion like it again, just dying every couple of months waiting for the next "lore patch" to come out with new twists.
Hope they go back to stuff like it and Wrath after this filler expansion is over. Not that I would bother to play world of selfiecraft ever again, but I'd love to some new relevant lore to at least read about or try out in a private server.
Hats off sir. ! very nice descriptive writing right here!
I'm actually crying...it used to be so beautiful...the sense of exploration and wonderment...how everything felt familiar yet alien...we will never have an experience quite like this again...
I was so confused when I started wow. I thought regular npc's were players. So naturally, I asked them questions they could not answer. Ever.
+Joetothe Flow lol I didn't went to my class teache to pick up new skills until I as lvl 10 and wondering why enemies kept getting down harder and harder
Happened to me. I made a Draenei and when you make the healing quest I was like "I'm here for you. Don't worry, I'll save you" and stuff hahahaha
I thought all players from the opposite faction appeared as level ?? I came across some trying to knock over Tarren Mill while I was leveling out there. I flagged up, fought back and got one-shotted.
saaaaaame :D
oh man, lol I started playing on a pve server and noob as i was back then I got killed by a defias and thinking it was another player after I rezz'd he killed me again and was so mad I started asking in local chat how this guy was able to kill me on a pve server...yeah...that happened.
"Can I have 1 gold please " Hahaha damn
+9reen remember when i started playing back in 2007 and a guy gave me 10 gold. I was so happy i jumped out of my chair...
sitting with over 40k now.
+9reen I used to beg in Ogrimmar as a joke when game first came out and some dude gave me 50g. literally couldn't't believe it was a lot of money back then. Something along the lines of "Pls kind sir could u spare some coin for a poor orphan"
I used to get easy money from gambling on duels (1vs1 in front of ironforge), until I created my own high level guild and ended up with more than 900K in my pocket (at the end of burning crusade) :D
Made a ton of money farming copper ore, first week game came out. Easy to overprice them when people didn't know the true worth of items. In my 3rd year of playing WoW I used to have 3 accounts running 15+ hours a day using Gliderbot and one farming deviate fish. Nothing can beat the feeling of waking up in the morning and checking your bags full mats.
IKR!
My first character was a Human Paladin (I wanted to be like Uther), created in 2006, and the memories man, the memories.....this and Westfall, Redridge, and Duskwood. What I would give to be able to have that experience again, afresh.
+FallenTemplar man, we all want to feel that again, my first char was a dwarven warrior andi remember the first time i got a helmet i tough i was god...so good memories
+MrHaunter The first helmet drop experience. Dear god, your head gear piece was so empty for such a long time till you got your helmet and thought "YISSS! FINALLY! SOMETHING FOR THIS SLOT, COOL!"
Amazing times, man
+FallenTemplar 2006 Human Warlock cause I liked the red robe, remotely knew what a lock was, and didn't understand the races or factions lol
First character was an undead Mage, realm: cenarius. And his name was "magewarrior" the memories..
+FallenTemplar nostalrius private server
Those first 10 seconds. How can you not be captivated? This was more than a game.
+Cheximus im finally getting into wow for the first time... im kind of saddened after reading the comments in this section that im a little too late to the show. wish i could have experienced this game from the start back in vanilla. guess i wasn't into video games at the time
Play on a private servers. worth of it.
If you die in the game.. you.. well.. you respawn. I'm not going to make a a Sword Art Online joke on a wow video.
My goodness, 11 years have passed since I heard this music for the first time... [*sadness*] [*memories*]...
+Kenshinigami you and me both. my brain gives me little dopamine shots listening to this track!
+Mango Man Ⓥ Ikr bro, got the same feelings here... Sometimes I feel tempted to return to the game but I missed a lot of things so I'd probably be lost...
it isn't worth it, it is not the same game anymore. there is a private vanilla server called Nostalrius or something that is supposed to be good. I'm just not a fan of private realms tbh
+Mango Man Ⓥ There is also "Nostalgeek", the best Vanilla server (1.12) and their second server "The Geek Crusade" for BC. No cheat, updates every weeks, 100% like the "real" game :) (Not sure but it's French)
+Sylvain Aaaand its getting shut down.
I wish it was 2005 again and I was 14....
Damn I don't wanna cry
then don't.
you must
It's 2004, i just bought World of Warcraft, i created a human Rogue and ran through the Northshire Abbey while the music played.. Man.. I miss you WoW
Sadness intensifies
the nostalgia makes me want to resub every fucking time, even though i know that i'll never enjoy the game as much as i did when i first played it. ;(
ye, same here....but I mean atleast for me there is one aspect that would make it almost as amazing experience as back in the day...and that is the changes that Cataclysm made...I mean I dont know what your history with WoW is, but I originally played it during 2005-2007, so I know and remember very well how each of lvl 1-60 zones looked and felt like....in fact because I was so fucking done with "vanilla WoW"s repetitive and boring quests that I had done so many times, I never felt like returning to it until Blizzard reshaped those zones in Cataclysm. I already got brief taste of it in 2011 when I shortly returned to the game and I just LOVED to see how the zones had changed and how much more interesting and more fun the questing was....if Mists of Pandaria hadnt been announced back then....well I quess I might be playing WoW right at this moment....not that I feel as angry or mad about MoP anymore as I did back then, in fact Im eager to explore even that content, but unfortunately my current life-situation is such that I just dont have the freaking time to invest into MMO....I really wished that I had, that I could just resub right at this very moment, but I already know from experience how addicting it can get and Im unfortunately that kind of person who might not have willpower to control it so that it doesnt hinder my studies, which must take priority....but once I hopefully get my studies done and get full-time job....Im more than willing to invest all my freetime to play WoW once again ;D.....but ye, I really miss those times when didnt have to worry so about so many things in "real-life" and could just fully immerse myself into that fictional world.....
Anyways, if you ever consider to resubscribe, I really recommed doing so by taking one of your friends with you to that adventure...that's what I plan to do with my girlfriend, who has never played WoW before...I mean I quess I could enjoy WoW just by playing it alone by myself, but so much of WoW's enjoyment comes from it's social aspect, there is no denying it.
@@Balnazzardi Did you play with your girlfriend? Are you still together? What happened?
I can't do it... I just can't...
The memories...
they hurt.
Do they hurt more now? 9 years later?
@@janniesneed4511 They hurt just the same :/
Though tbh now i’m nostalgic for my life 9 years ago so yes lol
My friend brought my first character, a night elf to Elwynn Forest so I could level up there, because she "knew" the human quests, hahahah :) Back when you needed to read every single quest carefully to figure out where you were going... I was only 11 and I learned so much English from it. Such an amazing game!
The part at 1:31 makes me instantly cry
+Ironfists MC Man, i had to punch a wall to feel manly again. Damn nostalgia
same man, it's ridiculous
Me too bro
Everytime i come here for nostalgia i find myself creating human just to level through elwynn and delete him, damn feels...
@@vld7759 same dude. I’ve probably made over 100 humans in my life😂
nostalgia is a dangerous drug, i try not to listen to these songs too often but every now and then i gotta sate the urge
There is not a single piece of music in this world that gets me as nostalgic as this.
Even though I've played horde I used to stay hours a day in front of Stormwind, making alliance friends, dueling, having fun.
Man, I miss those times.
Best game forever in my heart
Sleep well Nostalrius, you'll be missed.
nope you won't be missed. Rot in hell :)
Yeah, the guys at Nostalrius got what they deserved.
Look at all these blizzard white knights. Anyway, Kronos is the new nostalrious.
Kronos sucks tho
TheNoobtuberr i've made plenty of friends on it and haven't encountered any bugs on kronos 2.
Goddamn I miss this game so much. The nostalgia kills me. I used to play with 4 other people 24/7. Last I heard, one of them died, one turned into a drug addict, one is still playing to this very day and the last one has a wife and 2 kids.
Mathaius833 Yep, Oh well fuck it.
Luckily I added a lot (though not all) of my WoW friends to Facebook. Worked well because on several occasions they were in my city and we met up IRL. Even met up with the entire guild from one of my servers. They didn't care that I didn't play anymore, they still let me join them. :D
띵언
time to play classic
'What can i help you with'
'Greetings'
'Be with honor, my friend'
Good old times...
Few people can claim to have grown up with a game, and yet this one has been such a central part of my life for so long.. :')
+Edward Lavaden i feel you bro, first time at ironforge never 4get
Still better than a miser gangster listening to mia schiz, clear boomerang for carnivores down there
i wanna go back to playing on my dads lap getting him to read quest logs learning english panicking over dying to defias bandits being 5-7 in vanilla... Running through stranglethorn as a low level hidden panthers and gorillas on the road. Life sucks man
Welcome to the real world. Everyone would go back and re-live their blissful youth if they could I think.
Guess this is the cycle of life.
Honestly, when I was about 5, I remember sitting on my dad’s lap, watching him play this game. Then when I was old enough, I made my own account. I grew up with this game ever since I was really little. Then I went inactive because of how busy I got. But hearing this makes me so happy, and brings back so many memories😭😭😭 For The Alliance!
I still remember my 1st time I ever logged into wow with my human paladin back at 2005. I fell in love the same moment. Even today, nearly 10 years after I enjoy casually playing on vanilla private servers. Fuck yeah, my adolescence period was fucking amazing.
Where can i play on a vanilla server? everyone i have tried it never seems to work :/
Markyboy28
Try out feenix private server, there's a vanilla and TBC realm and they're working really nice. On vanilla realm all content is available and they're gonna release Kel thuzad this autumn and on TBC realm there is a t6 progression going on while ZA and SWP are still beeing developed and scripted. There is a high speed lvling 12x but theres also 1x option. The both realms are very populated, having approx. 1500 players online every day and 2000 at evening!
Is the Vanilla server just like Vanilla? Level 60 only, pre-cata destruction, the old Stormwind and Ogrimmar, etc?
TJ Wright Yes it is, its full blizzlike
I am on The Rebirth, its miles better than Feenix, too many bugs!
Put a smile on my face and a tear in my eye. Too much nostalgia I suppose but Blizzard for me now is nothing more than a distant memory of the past.
Me too, just memories now :'( Sucks because, unlike a single player game, you can't just go back and try to relive those awesome memories when you get nostalgic. It's gone.
would look like gomora
wow reminds me of the best times of my life. I was a careless boy whod been awake all night with cousins and playing this amazing game during holidays. it was wonderful. this was more than a game for me :) ahh, now I just listen to all these soundtracks and feel nostalgia as it reminds me of the joy and excitement these days gave me back then..
While I wouldn't go back to WoW now, I can definitely say it was a really exciting and immersive chapter in my gaming experience. Part of the reason I leveled so slowly compared to friends was because I spent so much time taking in the beauty of the scenery or taking part in the special events like the Darkmoon Faire and Brewfest.
So much nostalgia... I miss this so much
Elwynn forest, my home
This song gives me goosebumps. It reminds me of the day WoW launched, making a human. Hearing this song makes me think, I never knew that this... nine years later I would be looking back at how many hours and how much work I put into this game. I miss old WoW... I made so many friends... joined so many guilds... I wonder what they all are doing now.
LFG HOGGER
+ddstar That Hogger spam. Ohhhh the spam :)
+ddstar these days he's easy as fuck
lol, I was just thinking that. It makes me really sad listening to this.
You no take candle! Mine!
WTS 1 LINEN CLOTH 5 GOLD.
Im crying :( Memories are so strong ;(
This reminds me of not just the game but of friends I used to have but drifted apart from. I was surprised at just how sad this music makes me :/
That hurt me right in the feels... I remember watching my brother play when it came out. He set me up on a private server, I played for a week. I got the game finally. I remember getting level 40, finally getting my first mount. I felt so accomplished. I met this one person at around level 3 at Deathknell as an undead rogue (Now I never see any rogues...). We leveled up until 60, and my parents stopped paying for the game because I spent too much time on it. It was both of our first time playing
This music really embodies everything WoW, small step into a big world, wonder and exploration, making friends, doing quests together... Wonderful memories!
This music is for me like going back home after a long journey. My first char was a human warrior you see. Playing in elwyn felt like being a child again.
My life has changed dramatically since when I first started playing WoW, I think all of ours has. But when I listen to this music again, it just makes me feel at home. WoW is like that home I'll always have, every time I listen it just brings me right back. It was like living a second life in a second world. I miss the original days though, it's not the same feeling as it used to be going into these zones :'(
WoW content creators when they start talking:
I'm dazzled by the feelings this track arouses in the heart of the former WoW players, And in my heart too. . I find it very hard to explain to myself. It is beyond words and languages. I hope that one day we all meet again in another legendary PC MMO game.
Unfortunately, it's impossible.
The best part about wow back then was the lack of knowledge. You didn't know what was out there and there weren't any guides on getting to it as fast as possible.
The world was a mystery and all you knew was what word of mouth reached you from high-level experienced players, half of which was unfounded rumors that got changed or made up from one mouth to another.
There was a sense of adventure, community and hierarchy and there were all these things you wanted to experience yourself and find out if they were real and the stories about them accurate.
Now you got datamined guides that break down every last thing before it even hits the public test servers. You cannot have a sense of whimsy and wonder when everything is broken down and explained, and you can't make a game anymore where information won't get out and be widely accessible ASAP.
This music also plays in Loch Modan. It's a long time from my trial days, but I remember my first character I made: a dwarf warrior. I was questing with a friend I met in Dun Morogh. It was a fine starting zone, but when we finally arrived in Loch Modan, it was amazing. Dun Morogh had been so white and grey the whole time, but Loch Modan felt so unbelievably lush and green. This music started playing and when we reached the lake, the feeling was indescribable. It was such a beautiful place.
So many damn memories man it can literally bring me to tears. I remember when I started playing this game in 6th grade I knew nothing. I picked a dwarf warrior but only because warrior was first choice and I didn't know there were even different classes. Played all through middle school and high school. I was just an ugly fat kid in real life but in this game I had more fun then I could imagine. Remembering all the dungeons from deadmines to gnomeregon to uldaman, BRD and so on and on and all the pvp I did. The old videos I would watch to learn from pro players. The family and friends in real life who played wow and would talk with me about it. I can't believe it's been 12 years since I started this beautiful masterpiece. Now look at me, I'm married with a child, into health and fitness and install AC's for a living. People always say video games are for losers but this game literally saved my life man. Ma always hated my love for this game but if I could I wouldn't change a damn thing
When the nostalgia hits you like a brick.
There has always been something special about this track specifically. I can't say what it is, but it's so... intriguing. So... uniquely ambient.
Right in the childhood... sigh... good times!
i swear i cried when i heard this music
As I close my eyes and listen to this music, faint memories starts to swirl around in my head.
I remember being 16 years old, leveling my human rogue in Elwynn Forest. I was trying to level up so I could run Deadmines with my friends. I did not even do quests most of the time, I just ran around killing gnolls close to the Jasperlode Mine, thinking it was the best way to level.
I still remember searching for those damned guards, getting gangbanged by murlocs, sneaking around the Defias thieves. Everything is as crystal clear as if it happened yesterday.
I am grateful to have grown up with vanilla WoW. This game is my childhood, and it has given me some of my best friends in life, and some of the fondest memories.
This has done the exact same to me. But I discovered WoW during WoTLK.
Never knew you experienced WoW, Vanilla even, truly a blessing this game was. :)
I also leveled a Human rogue. But it was only during WoW Classic, as I was too young to play when Vanilla was new.
Right in the feels...
Uh. I'll never play WoW again because of the lack of time but that's a great and nostalgic track to play over and over.
Thank you for the memories.
How about classic? Maybe just give it a try?
Everytime i listen to this song, my old memory back, my family, my life before and who i loved...
How I miss 2013 with the friends I made online, we played WOW together and we always got together in this forest to talk and play some dungeons or pvp together, in addition to quests or just explore the map searching for adventures and Horde players to fight in disputed territories, we never betrayed the Alliance and stayed together until the end of 2016. Unfortunately, I never managed to meet you guys again, and everyone got to separate ways... Goodbye my friends, I hope you are well and healthy, I miss you and I wish you many blessings in your life, even if you don't remember me. I leave this message from the bottom of my heart, you were important to me and I will never forget you, wherever you are. Especially you, Rui.
No wayyyy!
I close my eyes and see myself running from Goldshire to Eastvale Logging Camp... so much nostalgia!
Damn, this brings amazing memories. I teared up a bit. I still play the game, i might not be as happy with it as I used to be but I'm trying to hold on to it before it disappears. WoW has deffinitely changed my life. If you happen to be a hater and say I'm a loser... Studying Dentistry. Enough said.
Dear fellow WoW-player. I am myself playing WoW and have been doing so since vanilla. I used to play several games, both RPG and RTS and some FPS. And of course Diablo 1,2 and now 3. But after WoW, i can't find any real entertainment in other games anymore. They all become dull, boring and flat in comparison. The atmosphere created by both music, sound effects and graphics are unique. Also, since Blizz continuously updates it with mostly great stuff, it's a game you play for a long time, for many people like me, for years. It's been 8 years now.
There's something special with things you do or experience for such a long time, and it doesn't matter if it's in a game or irl. You end up with tons of memories. New aquaintances, friends and experiences.
Myself, i started raiding fulltime when i became single in 2006. After first levelling a hunter, i desired a role with more responsability so i levelled a healer, but then i befriended a tank which i ran instances with for weeks, and i thought for myself that to become a good healer, i needed to know how tanking works. So i levelled a protwarr and fell in total love with it.
I started a guild, which ended up being fun and the need for a webpage appeared. So i learned some webdesign and how to set up a forum (phpbb), and it was all great fun.
I still play Protwarr, but in the meantime, i also levelled all the other classes to maxlvl, some several times. :-)
The last year i've played with my girlfriend who also loves the game.
But, and this is why i actually bothered commenting... :-)
You NEVER need to excuse yourself, or to "put people to place" or "in your face" them to prove you're not a loser. Haters and trolls will ALWAYS see that as an opportunity and use it as a hook for some other hateful shit.
The people you care about, probably respect you wether you play WoW or not, the people who flame you or for some weird daddy- or mommy-issue-reason need to call you names just because you control other pixels on your pc than they do, well... who cares what people who doesn't respect you thinks anyways?
If i were a troll, i would probably say that studying dentistry is more nerdy than playing WoW. ;-D
Enjoying life, enough said. :-)
I totally recognize this, also being a loyal player since the first hour.
None of the expansions had background music tracks that gave me the same shivers as the classic zones, especially Elwynn Forest, Teldrassil and Stormwind. The music had a huge contribution to (and so perfectly matched) the atmosphere of the zone.
Nowadays I have music turned off by default, but every new expansion I turn it back on to see if it has that same effect as the old days, but it's just not the same.
There's the Lich King's Invincible track that gave me goosebumps but I don't think it can be heard in-game. Still, these musical masterpieces (and generally the effort, dedication, and perfection that Blizzard puts into the game) keep me paying for my account without regret.
normahS Well said sir. Take Care :)
normahS I remember when I first started playing. It was quite literally, the start of BC. I remember being young and stupid, I remember when my brother first made his night elf hunter and got I pet, I yelled, "No fair! I want a pet!" So I made my first character, a Draenei hunter I named Neoa. I remember when I first crept into Azuremyst, I felt like I was one in a million, the way Blizz made me look. I chose the face with three scars on each side, the hair with the braids down my side. I love him, I still do. Every night on him, I will spend thirty minutes just sitting in Azuremyst and Bloodmyst, even though I haven't really explored it all on him, I remember all the places. I remember the first time going to the Exodar, seeing the massive elekks. The large, beautiful, creatures. I said, "I will be able to ride one of those when I'm level forty." And when I first traversed into the Exodar, as a level eight nub. I loved it, I still love it. I love the feel of the exiled Draenei, the way the entire place was set up, the Naaru at the bottom, I loved to watch all the twisting magic go by and to run up the arcane ramp. I remember falling in love with Velen and his look, his beard, I remember thinking that that's how I wanted my character to look in four years, old and wise. Yet strange; as I cannot even change his hair style now without tearing up.
I remember that i never leveled, I loved the quests and reading the quests and learning all about this wide strange world, I loved it because it wasn't Earth. I didn't need to pay attention to Earth, I hadn't needed to worry so much about the school work or the family problems that may have risen, no, I was too busy exploring Azeroth! I remember finally finding my way to Stormwind, level eleven, I remember finally getting to Goldshire and hearing.. This song.. I remember immensely well going up every path I could. I remember finding that one waterfall, the one I still go to when I feel sad, Thunder Falls. Right above Westbrook Garrison, on the border of Elwynn and Westfall. Ya.. Those were the good ol' times, I remember never having my pet out despite my complaining, I remember I never really kept the first pet I got because I never really liked it. I remember somehow finding my way down to Booty Bay at the level of twenty, I died a lot but I enjoyed exploring.. The res sickness.. Nesingwary.. Hahah, I even remember when my brother and father called me crazy for believing in, "Booty bay! With the big goblin statue!" I remember shouting, "It's true! It's true!" Funny how the area I love the most is also the one I wanted to kill though, because I remember wanting to become a Bloodsail Buccaner(Still working on that by the way). Then I remember going to Ratchet, then to the Thousand Needles, to Tanaris, and finally I found my way to Un'Goro, the crater that was to change how I played Neoa forever. I stopped there, I stopped looking at other pets. I had my eyes aimed at the one almighty king of the crater, the Devilsaur. I was thoroughly disappointed when I found out I couldn't tame one, yet. I loved the white one, the elusive one, the one who would sneak up and kill me while I wasn't paying attention but would disappear when I wanted to find it. From there on I got a little pet, one I never named, I worked myself to level even though I hated leveling at the time. I got to level sixty three. That's when Wrath of the Lich King came out, my father was seventy with raiding gear, my brother was seventy with PvP gear, I was sixty three with quest gear. Hah.. .Funny thing.. Isn't it? Now my brother doesn't even play anymore, and my father can barely remember what zone in which, yet I sit here.. And I seemed to have memorized the routes to each zone.. I remember I ended up finally getting the elusive white Devilsaur at the level of sixty five or so, from there on I named him Whitespike.
I could go on for line upon line on this game and my memories of it, but you'd see me in a ball weeping. But this game has done so much for me, it gave me a best friend who understood me no matter how crazy and indifferent I was to the world(My character), a pet I could love and care for no matter what happened, and would be there for me when I lost somebody in the physical world(Whitespike, as well as Neoa too), it gave me a home outside and away from home, it's given me inspiration and joy, knowledge beyond any that simply surpassed what I was learning in the schools at the time. But by far, the most grateful thing I have ever received from WoW, it was not a virtual friend or pet, no virtual world or virutal home, not a virtual journey that I was privileged to take before the Cataclysm. I remember I left for six months during Cataclysm, because the stress of my guild's Firelands raiding got to me as a healer and I couldn't take it, I discouraged myself and called myself a bad healer to the group, that they could use better(I in fact got back in touch with my old Cataclysm raid leader who informed me at the time I was the seventeenth best healer on the server which was pretty good for what I was able to do at the time). I left for SWTOR, holy light bless that game, it was wonderful but, it was no WoW. Six months, I played six months, then I finally found my excuse to come back to WoW. SWTOR was declining rapidly, and I was given a scroll of resurrection. I took it in a heartbeat, as happy as a child with a lollipop and other candies. I remember being the first level ninety in my old casual guild, which I am now the assistant GM of, and during Mists of Pandaria, that is when I was given my gift of life-time gratitude, that's when I met my fiancee on this silly little game I used to escape reality.
Funny, isn't it? The people who yelled at me for playing this game now live with miserable lives, I empathize and sympathize for them, but I now sit here with dreams, inspiration, friends, a home and group, an escape and the love of my life, all because I played a silly game and got hooked when I was little young one. I owe this game a lot, it is quite literally, my childhood. I played outside of course, but I loved to slay dragons as a little kid with my father while I pressed his one key whenever he needed to generate threat for the team. Hahah, I was stupid. I ended up taking his first seventy too, I was also spoiled hahah. My first mount at level forty was pretty much handed to me by my dad and his friends. Anyway, this was just my story of WoW.
"Archenon poros," to you! "Dioniss aca," as well! And remember, the Naaru have not forgotten us. :)
Get the hellgate mouths of gypsian folks then :B
2023 and I could cry hearing that melody (I liked every comment to bring you guys back 😂)
come back.
nostalgic
Vanilla WoW.
Nothing else to be said.
+Batman just one thing to be said: nostalrius wow
+Jatix Mamot Vanilla was pretty shitty and Nostalrius is full of bugs.
Nostalrous is the best vanilla server out there next to Kronos don't listen to this scrub
+Batman Vanilla WoW.
We're going back.
Expressed inferiority of quality unfortunately.
This song IS the most iconic of World of Warcraft for me as this was the zone I first quested at
I remember launch day, creating a human, and logging in and hearing this music.
I never though That 8 years later, I would be listening to this and thinking of all the amazing times I had, all the friends I made, and all of the countless hours put into the game.
I miss the old WoW.
Once in a while in my life I have that random thought that tells me to look up this song. I cannot believe it has been almost 18 years since I entered the world of wow, which I stopped playing 8 years ago. This song brings back so many memories and feelings, listening to it brings back my childhood. Thanks for keeping the original soundtrack on UA-cam
one can leave the game but never will leave the memories that give us all
THis pain... this nostalgony
WoW is not dead guys. Sure, things have changed but just because the good old days are gone doesn't mean that new memories can't be made. Enjoy the game...
Still play every single day, I completely agree!
People aren't even mad about the changes, no.
People are nostalgic of them being idiots. Back when WoW came out, there were only a few amout of players who actually knew whadafuk an MMORPG was. This was a new thing for a LOT of players. Also, even if it wasn't it still was their first session with the game.
They miss trying out new stuff and finding surprises/cool things. Now, everything is known.
I remember playing Ragnarok Online a good 10 years ago. I was a young idiot back then - I miss the time of just derping around. It's just natural.
People also miss themselves being young, careless. When you get to know something, you adapt to it. in WoW it is good specs, in other games it might be good classes/whatever. Back then you just experimented.
well said,It is becoming better by time oddly enough, Draenor is looking sweet!
SirMalorak Exactly. If I had to give an analogy for the experience of playing Vanilla WoW for the first time, it would be like being at the base of a huge mysterious mountain, where the peak was obscured by the clouds and there was no telling what awaited you at the top, or even on the way there. Nowadays, everybody knows what an MMORPG is, and how it is structured. Back then, most had no idea. The world was indifferent to you, living and breathing without waiting for any input from you. You were challenged to find your own way to the top of the mountain, which you didn't really know anything about. Occasionally, you'd see a level 60 walk by on some mount, and that would be your fleeting glimpse into the future. You were discovering the world of the MMO, one zone at a time. That sense of a continuous world and a continuous community inhabiting that world was brand new for many people back then. Such an experience is extremely rare.
drw5500 Great and fitting analogy. Really love it.
I'd add to it that now we might be able to see the mountain formation, but there's multiple ones. We can all see them clearly though, taking the mysterious atmosphere away.
The climb, though, is so much fun that I really am fine with it.
...Yet I do miss those cloudy days.
Every time i hear this music them, I remember my first char, a human mage :)
Elwynn Forest is one of the most beautiful places in Azeroth and the music fits perfect to this place.
and in this feeling of nostalgia i have to say: World of Warcraft Classic was the best patch of wow i've played :)
Thanks for uploading this man. Such a beautiful track *_*. Brings back memories of my first days in WoW. I met this paladin named Asdrubal at Northshire who was just as new to the game as I was. He was my first WoW friend and we quested our way through Elwyn together. I think our trials ran out at the same time and after I came back on a day or two after with my subscription renewed, I never saw him again :\. Wish I could have thanked him, and all my other friends and guildmates for making Azeroth just that much more special.
I had a wonderful time but the magic faded over time, I wish I could still see it :(
I am so used to this music, and spent so much time on that game for years as a kid, that hearing this music reminds me of the previous memories as if they were real and everything happened with me for real. Wow dissolved the line between reality and imagination and when I look back now, I do not see my self sitting infront of a screen and playing a game, I remember myself as a druid going through nagrand and flying above the floating islands, being completely immersed in that world.
This takes me back to a simple more beautiful time. When my friends an I played endlessly for hours on end. Now they moved on an im still here. An yet Im not addicted to drugs or alcohol like they are. Gaming saved my life. Thank you wow
Has it really been fifteen years? Amazing to think. I miss those times. And the people. Such great memories.
At last, we are going home, friends.
You once visited Elwynn Forest for the last time... without you knowing
I will never forget the "old wow"
12 years ago...so much has changed since then, for better and worse...damn it, I want to go back.
I can't bear all these feels. It's too much.
I have been playing WoW since about 4 months before Wrath came out. I still play it, with little breaks here and there. When I am bored, I'll fly to different zones and just listen to the music, while remembering the fun (as well as aggravation) I had while leveling there.
Elwynn Forest is my favorite theme. Everytime I make a human alt and walk out of Northshire Valley, a wave of Nostalgia always hits me as I remember the very first time I walked through the gates, down the road to Goldshire. It was kinda at that point I realized I had a whole world to explore.
I remember how many times I died to Hogger because I didn't know you could kill him in a group. *sad*
lol
HOGGER, BLOODY HOGGER YOU GUYS REMEMBER HOGGER? God what a time
Nostalgia :( old good time
hearing this music is making me sad. i often avoid hearing this it's just too painful the memories hit my mind like a truck
+StealthBlackHand For me it makes me happy because its hard for me to remember details about playing back in 2006. but i hope someday i can sit down again and enjoy the grind again on a server or somthing would be awesome to do again :)
Listening to this really really makes me miss WoW. The nostalgia is definitely real.
Man..Never forget that year..The best summer of my life..White castle almost everyday,(Don't worry I dont eat like that anymore lol) My best friends, and my dad. I'll never forget in 7th grade I was in class and I brought the wow strategy guide to school and the kid behind me said "YOU PLAY WOW?!" He said it very excitingly. I knew how he felt..I remember when I made friends for the first time. I got so excited because I only really had 2 friends. And everyone else was not in my school anymore..But "that kid" became my best friend. The memories with this game are just insane. This is my favorite game of all time. Even through its worst I still believe it is the best.
WoW changed my life so much and made me who I am today. I remembered when I couldn't speak English (Because I'm an immigrant). I met many great folks that helped me do quests because I didn't understand anything the quest tells me to do and they taught me words that I don't know. When I do raids, I used Ventrilo and I was very quiet listening to everyone talks. Took my time trying to pronounce the words they say and had a dictionary next to me, and thats how I learned my English. All thx to WoW.
Something I never will have back ...
IT's back, baby!
I still remember the first time i set foot here
You didn't 'set foot' lmao. You pressed the W key and your character on the screen moved.
ThunderVids Just stating the obvious. xD
Guys it's my Birthday so last night I was pretty crossfaded and it was awesome and I pulled this up and I kid you not it was one of the most amazing things I had ever heard. Seriously the biggest rush of nostalgia ever. Love you all and remember, YOU NO TAKE CANDLE!
*2022* Начало этой великолепной произведении вызывают мурашки по коже
Once again I come here to my humble WoW Nostalgia Soundtrack playlist, and once again I am overwhelmed with, well, nostalgia and an urge to resubscribe.
I think I'll do it. I really want to, even though it's just such a time sink.
Fuck it, I'm doing it.
I totally feel you......just listening to WoW's soundtracks wants me to re-subscribe as well RIGHT at this moment....however for one thing my studies have to take priority and I dont feel like playing WoW in small 1-2 hour sessions....I want to FULLY immerse myself in it, like during the good old days...but even back then it negatively affected my school grades, so I fear that should I return to it now, I might not be able to control my playtime....so ye, I just wish to get my studies done, getting a full-time job and after that use most of the freetime I have to jump back into WoW for one last time ;D
Also another reason is that I dont feel like exploring the game alone...I really want atleast one friend to experience it with, and luckily my gf would be interested to play it as well....but again the problem with that is, we are currently living on different continents, she in America, me in Europe, so again, just going to have to wait until things change on that aspect.
Either way, I hope you have great time in WoW, really wish I could join you and the millions of others still playing it right now, but I cant =(
Edit: Well fuck it, since there is free started edition, Im just going to play that xP
***** Ye, I suppose, but like you said, the timezone difference is really a quite an issue....so ye, just gonna have to wait till things change + like I said, studying currently has to take priority. But hopefully in few years....
Guys...I am so glad i find those comments here. Everytieme i visit this song.. It almost makes me cry how muh I miss those times..so good to know there are ppl with same feelings.
Tom Mull
ye I feel you...luckily though the starter edition manage to satisfy my urge to play WoW somewhat ;D....again I simply dont have the time yet to return back to the game "full time", but hopefully one day.
But even though I dont plan to pay WoW much in the near future, I am doing one other thing that kind of regret not doing before....Im getting all of the Collector's Editions released for WoW ;D....for sure its going to hurt my wallet quite a bit, but luckily I've managed to find reasonable prices for used copies of vanilla WoW, TBC and possibly Wrath Collector's Editions (the last one I might even get as entirely new), while Cata, MoP and Warlords Collector's Editions arent even that expensive to buy as new.
Got dust in my eyes
+Eric M Gold Dust?
keep up the good work with partenon
This game and song will always share a special place in my heart. It got through the toughest of times... Idk what I would do without it...
*sigh* Good old times :(
These masterpieces will be recorded as classical music in the future.
Let's hope.... lol.
This is so nostalgic, I still remember my first times playing this back in 2010, I’m proud to say I was addicted for quite some time😄
Back when WoW was more about the experiences you have and the friends you make... not getting max level, best gear, and being extremely rich. It felt so much more real back in the days of old... and though I've ended my time with the game (for now at least) I will never forget the great times I had in Azeroth, and I will always love this music. It brings such a strong nostalgic feeling...
summer 2005 come back ..
