Thanks for the shoutout madseason. Crazy to watch a guy for years online then see yourself mentioned in his video. Appreciate it.
Facts: Cats can actually fly
You've earned it dude, you make good videos - keep it up!
Winds guide you!
How many bears do i have to kill?
I actually thought you were the same person cause you have the same voice! Haha
Your voice alone makes me think of 2004.
hahaah
What are you talking about *hhhhhhhhhhhheehhhhhhhhhh*. Not sur what you mean *hhhhhhhhhhhhehhhhhh....*
nerdy mouth-breathing aside, his voice strangely reminds me of Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon
Community: the tools are there.
@@Shaka1660 that's so amazing though, i love this guy's voice, i'd forgotten about him completely until now.... haha
"Maybe we won't see chaos on launch where everyone is fighting for one boar!!"
Yeah... About that...
@@hackhenk that second picture was taken right before the shutdown of the private server Nostralius. It was a planned gathering of a lot of players so yeah ...
@@hackhenk yeah it was... did you even play on launch night?
@@Pellemain Yeah I did. What pserver launches did you attend the last few years? It sounds like you didn't attend any of them.
@@hackhenk mate you are kicking a pillow with this argument.... ua-cam.com/video/PXo4yVaG7bA/v-deo.html this is the relaunch of Nostalrius, without comparison the BIGGEST pserver launch ever.... ONE SERVER, biggest queue i have ever heard anyone claim they experienced on launch night, was 12000 (however i don't believe that as i think the server queues were capped way lower, but whatever) but most people just logged the fuck in with 0 queue, mind you the server cap was 10k... Classic launched with how many servers? afaik 4 pvp realms were up prior to launch in eu, with 3 more opening on launch day before they even opened, and countless more the following day. Server cap was almost immediately increased to max (10k), and server queues were ridiculous on all of them.. Layering has the ability to split server pop into essentially 3 realms, so with layering in full effect you will see no more than ~3300 players at one point, however on launch night basically all automatic systems were maintained manually, and population on all layers were held at more or less what the server could handle... Layering was not in effect at all on nostalrius, but to claim it was largely outscaling blizzard servers is just ludicrous and not true.. btw the picture you linked is not a launch picture...
I remember thinking addons were against the TOS back in the day.
Spooky rumours the kids tell each other.
The first time someone suggested using thottbot I told him I wouldn't use bots xD
My first raiding guild told me DBM was against the TOS because they wanted people to raid without it xD
I was scared of getting banned 🤣

same goes for me
Same for me too ... Sigh. At least I have a beanie.

Also, on a serious note, since Classic has come out, I've been taking the time to specifically watch streamers play Classic who have never before played WoW until now, and seeing their wide-eyed wonder at the world around them is so heart-warming. They're getting that first-time experience, that joy of looking at the world map and realizing that, yes, you can go to every zone shown on the map (except Hyjal). Learning talent trees, getting a feel for the world--I'm reliving the experience through them vicariously, and it's amazing.
there was a secret way to access Hyjal and I was able to get there back in the days :p but it took me a lot of practice and patience :D
I remember beating my head against the desk getting lost trying to find things during questing. Reading and rereading the quest text trying to find out where I got lost before questhelper was a thing.
I still get lost on some quests in Teldrassil. That cave never fails to waste my time
But once you learn one barrow den you know every one in the game
the intro will never get old
AlexVanags it’s the best
AlexVanags tell him not to change it pleeeease
nor the outro! "Farewell, mortals..."
Edit - Regarding number 9: Just thought I'd throw this out there since some people are taking it the wrong way(even though I said this in the video): I don't have a problem with streamers. They have a right to do what they want just like all of us, and in my opinion the more exposure on the game, the better. I'm undecided, but I may end up even streaming myself(if there is a demand for it), so this video isn't in any way meant to disparage streamers, or their communities - just to take note of the effects that they'll have on the game.
Still no beta for you? That's a damn shame my man
@@Mongrel1980 They are just hand delivering it to me on a pillow so it's taking a bit of time....yeah that's it!
Hell yes! Could you include where to pick them up as early as possible for each race?
@@madseasonshow Good thinking! Stay positive hehe
This Is exactly what I wanted to lookup next. You the man
The reason it starts slow is so you actually experience the game. It was to teach you how to add actually play your class correctly, establish a flow. Running around was to soak it all in and become familiar with your surroundings, instead of flying around skipping everything.
Or these days instantly sprinting 12 feet over to the next quest hub.
I totally agree with the last point! Not knowing the game was a big thing. I remember rolling a human lock and getting sent to kalmindor for a war lock quest at lvl20. Had no idea how to get over so I started swimming!!! Now I know the place like the back of my hand!
Darren Thomson I remember as a new orc player needing/wanting to get to the undercity and had no clue how to get there. I ended up taking the boat from ratchet to booty bay and ultimately getting wiped over and over as I made my way north through STV. I was going to run the entire length of eastern kingdom.., I ended up swimming the entire length of the continent instead. I'm sure it took over an hour but I don't remember exactly. Stupidity.
I couldn’t for the life of me find my way into Undercity, I just took the zepp to Org and went from there lol.
The Asmongold references in this video are hillarious! Great video as always.
yeah, the guy is a total tool, i don't like him. He's pretentious as fuck, knows everything until it's time to actually know stuff...

Let me comment before the bald guy reacts to this.
@The opportunist Asmongloid
your PP is overused..
@The opportunist Asmonbald*
did someone say baldy
@@Anudorini-Talah I read your comment as my pee pee is overused and i agree with that
Probably the best feeling that people had about world of Warcraft was the transition of playing from the Warcraft perspective from over the top to actually enter "in" the world, to a 3d view of the world
Sorry that I don't know enough to explain what I just said, but I really think that was the best feeling of wow
As someone who played the balls our of Wc3 this really hits it home for me. Finally seeing those zones from the ground level was so cool.
I absolutely know what you mean! The first time I actually stood in front of Sylvanas as a level-10-ish forsaken and could even talk to her was probably my hardest nerdgasm moment ever.
Never played Warcraft, but Wow was my first PC game and MMO. Let me tell ya that first time experience was immense. Never experienced something like that and the music had me hooked. Glad I got to at least experience that. First time experience was the best thing Wow ever offered.
You hit the nail on the head here!!!
I agree 100%
Always chuckle when a streamer talks about how easy Classic is when they have ppl who live to help them by grouping and giving them shit endlessly.
Classic is easy anyway. If it wasn't for you... Well.
@@Zoozio
There are ppl who will say completing 20s in time is easy. Doesn’t make it “easy” as a whole.
@@Frostshokula Classic is literally easy as heck a whole. It takes more time, and more incovinient, that doesnt mean its hard. Like its been a year, anyone who says classic is hard in anyway is just delusional as heck at this point.
@@Zoozio
Retail is also easy depending on who you talk to. It’s relative, but you’re missing the point. No matter how easy it is, it is overwhelmingly easier when ppl hand u things and are fighting to group with u.
That Asmongold Mario mix.
I rewatched that 4 times lmfaoo
What is asmongold? Some kind of currency?
The sad part is, everything you said about streamers is true.
Baldmongold is proof of this, how toxic his streams are and how many people hover around him in game
That scares me. I’ve done certain things that may be questionable, but fair play, but to unknowingly do this to a streamer and getting harassed by their fans, it’s not something I’d wish on anyone.
@@kyotheman69 What do you mean by "how toxic his streams are"?
@@kyotheman69 you kill asmonbald few times and he will quit streaming and cry about it on twitter/reddit... I hope someone on his realm create "namelessking" character
I'm honestly surprised I didn't think about streamers being a problem because I've been thinking about how different WoW Classic is going to be from OG Vanilla for a long time now. AngryYearMovie seems to have put a lot of thought into this.
The first-time experience is truly something you can never get back. I remember I was so stunned when I played for the first time that I pretty much sat and stared at the screen for many minutes, then felt a sudden urge to run away from the room.
7:46 I saw that subtle "pornography" thrown in there. lol

HAHAHHA BRUHH WAIT-
"Asmongold Reacts to Asmongold Reacting to Paint Drying" Lmao
If I go through the barrens and there are no chuck norris jokes, I'll be disappointed
Jeez its been 15yrs. WOW, i cant believe it. I was playing this during my 1st year of college.
I started playing in 3rd grade 😄
Lol a game that brought people of all ages together. I graduated in 2004 🤣
Young Grizzly Man, I wish I wasn‘t five years old when the game came out.
@@TPMine well now you have a second chance of experiencing sleepless of vanilla WOW. For full immersion limit your bandwidth to 10mbps while playing on a CRT monitor.
Lol I started wow my first year of college too. It was mind blowing.
I remember in vanilla people were often bored, so people just treated the game like a chat room. They built friendships that way. I don't know if that sort of thing would happen any more.
I believe most people are looking for that more than anything in classic
@@blindhydra I don't doubt it, and the intention is understandable. But everyone knows of some big project that was resurrected in an attempt to recapture a nostalgia era...
I used private servers for years as a kind of fancy chat room. I wasn't really interested in all the leveling and raiding at that time , but I wanted to keep in touch with old wow friends that moved there. this was during the pserver boom that eventually led to the launch of classic.
I just would make a low lvl bank alt and hang around in cities, trying to get as rich as possible (after a small donation from those friends) It was fun to chat and also to discover what kind of things you could do at a very low lvl . I had one lvl 1 with the Arena Grand Master trinket (summoned to gurubashi arena, and patiently logged in during the night until I got 12 chests) it took about 6 weeks
"Jaina was hotter with the hood" Vanilla forums were the best...
Girls in hoodies are hawt.
I reckon when classic is "beaten" they should allow you to keep your char in classic but also copy it as a 60 to tbc that way the classic grind carries on
@@maxinoume
Why?
husky cal Aha this guy got it right! Thats exacly how it should have been done the first time.

Wow classic should evolve again and follow a different path than before. A path that remains true to the original and not the streamlined and homogenous mess we have currently.
Amen brother
What if the players got to vote on content changes and updates?

teamspeak and verntrilo, ow geeze. what a blessing they were.
ahh, ventrilo.... sweet, sweet ventrilo..
Xfire ftw!
Is vent still a thing or did discord destroy that shit?
@@Ryan_hey F
Teamspeak sucks...
Personally I think Wrath was the peak when the game was at its best state. But I loved vanilla wow with all my heart. Reaching level 60 wasn't a grind it was a journey.
Plus the vanilla wow was designed in a way that literally forged friendships.
@Will Harison UC Irvine And you know what? I miss that gravely about wow retail since... at least cataclysm, i think.
the journey is a grind from vanilla all the way to bfa..... changing the word doesn't change what it is. The difference is you actually meet and interact with people back then. Tbh i would rather BC with all the fixes it brought to vanilla.... its like vanilla is BC beta. Wotlk was good but it introduced things like dungeon finder.
@Will Harison UC Irvine I've never played classic wow when it came out. I'm playing on a private server. I absolutely love it.
@Will Harison UC Irvine Every MMORPG has grind it. Only difference is how much fun you can have while doing it. Something that Classic provided more with being more rewarding even with simple green gear, to its social aspects.
@Will Harison UC Irvine sure
"Asmongold reacting to Asmongold watching paint dry" lol
Exactly what i need.. not modern vs classic but vanilla vs classic..... Old player need to know what to expect
Honestly I wouldn't mind playing with MadSeason, not for the popularity but I sincerely believe he'd be fun to be around, share adventures with and make memories too. Also Madseason is so knowledgeable and makes me laugh. I believe Classic is more about the journey to 60 and just having a good time.
Hopefully more mature, less toxic fanbase too
I'm still deciding if I'll make my main public or not. I'm afraid if I do I'll get special treatment or gold/items sent to me - I sort of want to fully immerse myself and that might be ruined if it's public. I was thinking of maybe having a public alt though if people want to play with me. Still thinking about it!
@@madseasonshow i respect that.
I just want that monotone voice whispering sweet nothings in my ear.
@@madseasonshowYou could always have a character to do stuff with the community and another character just to chill and play on your own. Might help with the endless spam of mail, messages, and other stuff as well.
Man... That feeling of starting WoW for the first time. I still remember my first character; an Undead Rogue. Later swapped to a Night Elf Druid because my friends began as Alliance. I remember my first dungeon, the Deadmines, where I didn't understand the difference between need/greed, so I needed on everything; got scolded by my teammates, so I ran all the way to the inn in Lakeshire where I sat on the bed in one of the rooms upstairs. My GM whispered me asking me where I was, so he could come and talk to me to explain what I did wrong. I remember my first epic, which was the Salamander Scale Pants from Molten Core; something I used DKP for. Thinking back, moments I had in WoW are amongst my most cherished memories, and it is a bit sad, knowing that I will never experience that sense of awe ever again.
About greed/need - had same problem xD
For many of us, I actually believe WoW Classic re-release will bring us a better game than original release. And a predominantly adult community again. WoW always had it's bad folks, but servers quickly discovered who they were when they wouldn't shut up in trade chat, and we shunned them until they disappeared. Kids today don't have the patients WoW Classic will require. They want Poof, fast leveling, instant groups, and they're all about the pubs. Classic was about bonds, friendships, meaningful interactions and guilds. Things half today's WoW players know nothing about.
@Daniel Leslie hardcore raiders or pvp players the play the games very seriously anyone who doesn't like adult language should either use the profanity filter or hop over to modern wow
@Daniel Leslie it depends what type of game you want to play if you want a social game that is challenging to learn pick classic. If you want fast easy progression with almost instant access to endgame raids pick modern wow. I would also recommend trying both as one subscription give you access to both games
@Daniel Leslie I can only recommend trying them out in both games you'll inevitablely play all classes leveling is so fun in both games you'll soon discover which game you want to play and how you want to play all the classes I highly recommend you watch some videos on classes for classic you tubers like classic winds are good at explaining these topics
27 minute video up for 2 mins, people already commenting like they finished it
You are the guy i go to when it comes to classic updates, keep up the good work. Thanks MadSeason.
That's a big compliment considering some of the other channels out there. I appreciate it!
You're not the only one @Mattmanwow. I've got one I can count on for Cyberpunk 2077 (Kazuliski), and Madseason here for WoW.
Loving your videos man! The monotonous voice, the unexpected humorous remarks, the video editing and the way you go into so much detail without getting boring. It's just great!
I don't mind stagnation. That's what keeps it pure and classic. Oldschool Runescape was fun at first for being similar to 2007scape, but then they added so many updates...it may as well just be a separate game on a separate timeline. I fear WOW would become the same thing if it started to get different updates from retail.
Well OSRS has always been community driven. Changes aren't bad, they make the game grow.
Unwanted changes however, is what ruïned most things.
I think that at the core, OSRS still feels like the same game from many years ago. I think that adding new content every once and a while that has the intentions in mind of keeping track with the classic/old-school progression is good for longevity. As long as they don't obviously just go in the same route as before. And I think having that known love for the more classic version of their game and with both released and thriving gives them a good idea of how to keep things fresh and yet nostalgic
But bladed I didn’t know you played wow!!! Blah blah blah miata.

Tanking in classic is approximately 10000 times harder than tanking in retail wow. All tanks who are used to the current threat mechanics are in for a treat when they can't hold aggro and get flamed, crushing their massive egos
Can't wait to be that absolute pleb.
I can't even remember the last time a tank lost aggro in retail
Wait for 5 sunders!
tbh the threat mechanic doesn't make tanking that much harder..... dps are the one that need to learn about threat
@@CL-jq1xs dps should, but they won't. In end game raiding it should be fine but pugging leveling dungeons WOULD HAVE been an issue.... If classic wasn't so insanely undertuned. Tanking doesn't even matter in the current iteration of the beta.

hey man, I dont comment on youtube in any way, I bothered to log in to my several year old account just to like, follow, and comment on your post. This is a good one, thanks mate!
The reason classic is a better game is because your choices have meaningful consequences and impacts on your gameplay.
If you decide to fight something, it's a big deal and you have to pay attention. After you're done fighting you have to prepare and plan for your next fight. Fights are close and can require effort.
If you pull too much, you die, and you have to ghost run back to your body, sometimes pretty far, with a repair bill.
If you decide to go somewhere, you have to run and it takes a long time.
If you get a better piece of gear, you instantly feel a difference.
If you want to do a dungeon, you have to run there and speak to real people with words.
You have to read quests and plan your route to be efficient.
The power gap between pieces of gear and levels is greater so it actually means something.
You can't transmog crap on a whim so finding cool looking gear is a big deal.
You can't teleport and "fly" everywhere, skipping everyone and everything in the game.. the game feels much more like a world because of it. Flying and teleporting ruins games.
Every progression step and every decision has a noticeable effect on your gameplay, poor decisions are punished and good decisions rewarded that's what makes it a much better game design.
120 levels makes levels, talents, skills, gear meaningless.
Flying and teleporting makes the world skippable and meaningless.
Group finder makes people meaningless.
Retail wow is skippable and meaningless.
Although I agree with everything you said I'm obliged to point out that, as I do with our detractors, it doesn't mean Classic is "better" game design, but rather preferable to us. Better implies an objective measure of quality, and some simply prefer brainless meaningless games.
Your intro is the best. Makes me melt everytime i hear it.

yeeeeeah, i really hope all the streamers play on the same server....so i can avoid that server.
Many influencers are.
Asmongold doesn't realize it yet, but classic will be unplayable for him.
He will be followed by his autistic legion of followers and ganked 24/7
@@Andreas_Mann i dont suppose you've seen Griffin Mcelroys "Peacecraft" videos on youtube? its exactly as you describe. after the first couple episodes went out and people knew his character name, he was constantly surrounded by people. getting whispers the very second he logged in. his mailbox was at a nearly constant state of max capacity. enemy faction ganking. you name it.
he was more concerned with being silly than actually playing the game, but yeah...it would be an absolute nightmare.
I recall Asmon saying something about leveling with only McCuck off stream
isn't asmon that really stupid looking fuck who makes those really stupid ass looking faces?
I thought the end was quite touching and well put. Thank you for the great video!
I never played vanilla so I'm incredibly excited to see how challenging and different it is compared to wow now
Well the one thing you be saying slot wtf how did I get kill. Or why am I dieing a lot,lol
My god it took so long to get to level 60 in vanilla. I'll be curious to see if THAT is in classic.
I Started playing during BC so this should be interesting.
Back in the days of Ventrilo, I was in a guild where I purposely used a voice changer every time I spoke to them. Coupled with the terrible codecs, they told me I sounded just like "Red Leader" from "A New Hope".
During raids when we were close to a boss kill with several people dead and people doubting we would win, I would start saying "Stay on target... STAY ON TARGET."
I wish I had recorded it. It always got quite a few laughs, especially when we beat the said boss.
Wow- WoW. Truly great vid, i am humbled by the analysis, the knowledge and the experience you’ve shared here. See you in Classic.
🍻
The nostalgia of the "new experience"... oh man, if I could recreate that. I've been away from WoW for 10 years, almost to the day. I just got back in on it a couple days ago, and I'm one, amazed at how much I retained, but also two, disappointed with how, dead it feels. I remember SLOWLY leveling, getting wiped in the Deadmine.... getting lost in Duskwood, finding the Inn FULL of players. Stumbling upon a world boss with dozens of players fighting it. I guess everyone is just grinding endgame now, just like most MMOs and even some nonMMOs. I hope Classic brings back some of that original experience...
So much nostalgia for the way things were... all the feels - thank you for your effort in putting this together and sharing ❤️ I am very excited for Classic and will be there day one also - maybe we'll cross paths 😁
lol Asmongold reacting to Paint Drying cracked me up
Asmongold rolled his eyes at your comment lol
@@BreakfastAtNoon cool
Best WoW channel ever. Blizzard MUST give you premium beta access to classic right now. Thx for your work.
That would be nepotism
I agree, he has so much knowledge of vanilla it would be perfect for them at the moment since it's in beta stage and people forget beta is for testing and relaying info to blizzard, only one I've seen do that so far was esfand the others just do mindless world PvP instead of helping test. But I did briefly also see swifty going over things which should be promising, you know, people who actually played vanilla and not some randoms.
@@Faxy95 Esfand never played Vanilla

What they should do is make servers for each expansion, and then you can transfer your character to the next expansion all the way up to live. It would be a good pathway for people who want to take their time, and get the original experience without being stuck in the latest expansion. Plus, there will be people that don't transfer that can guide you through classic dungeons.
And the folks who don't play every day for months can experience all of each expansion.
I'm playing classic because I wanted to try out vanilla since I never played it. I wanted to experience the game.
Really nice how you put the warcraft 3 ost in the video. Its awesome, brings me good memories :)
I started playing In TBC. I got the starter pack that came with the guide book for vanilla and tbc. The books were a life saver
Fantastic asmariold mix
Loved the clip of Ronnie Coleman doing those 800lbs squats. Great vid!
Thank you for the info dude I'm now 10% more prepared and ready for classic wow
awesome video, very well thought out, and the monotone matches the dead weight in my heart
Ah yes, great video mate! I really love your content, brings back such fond memories!
That first time experience really was impressive! Must've been 10 YO, I was so overwhelmed that I got lost in the undead starting zone! Stumbled upon the scarlet crusader camp and ran away cause they were too intimidating, and couldn't find it again afterwards.
And then I couldn't find the exit of the zone, so I climbed the mountain and got to the Solliden farm on the other side, only to get rekt by the farmers... The level of adrenaline (and innocence) back then was truly something! Good times :D
I’d constantly get lost just trying to find my way around Undercity with my first character (who was also Undead - a warlock) lol. She was appropriately named “Dieyoung,” as I was dying nonstop with how clueless I was. 😂 When I finally made my way to Ogrimmar, that wasn’t much better either lol. Those main cities were just so massive and overwhelming, and feel even bigger when you’re outdoors in Ogrimmar seeing everyone speedily zipping around on their mounts (or even Shamans racing around in ghost wolf at lvl 20 iirc), but you’re still a LOONNG ways off from getting any sort of faster travel.
Do you remember questing south of the Undercity, where there was powerful werwolves hiding everywhere in the tall greenery - particularly that ONE super elite werwolf? If you ran in to him, you’d always die and be stuck for eons, because as soon as you rezzed he’d get you right away again. Eventually the only solution after wasting so many times attempting to get past that monster was to give up and choose the 10 minute rez sickness debuff lol.
Well. Ty for this. #1 was without a doubt touching.
I dont think i've ever watch youtube videos on wow, but with classic releasing I've been absolutely addicted to your content. lol ty for all the know-how and knowledge I need to get back into the game.
Remember when dual weilding 2 - 2h weapons was just an April fools joke?
Oh shit. I forgot that you cant dual-wield two handed weapons in classic. This is gonna be weird for me.
Yep - that moment when Titans Grip was given to warriors, everyone suddenly switched spec just to look godly.
YangTang A fury Gnome Warrior with transmogged weapons to look like lightsabers lol 😂 that’s the best
You leave my ventrillo robot voice alone!
lol Mad, you're the best. Thanks for the great content.
Great vid! Couldn't agree more on the overwhelming part!
Love your videos man! Keep it up!
Maybe blizz will take note and start fashioning future expansions after the way Vanilla TBC and WOTLK were made.
It's always so funny to me when people talk about Wrath like it was anywhere near the quality level of TBC. Wrath is where everything started going wrong, with shit like the dungeon finder and epic items being incredibly easy to get
Not WOTLK.... That is where it all started going downhill.
@@RaidsEpicly dungeon finder came out in late wotlk
Filip Raos shh let the moron have his toys.
That PPF Delfino Plaza
Very true about #1. That first time on teldrassil after years of playing wc3? Pure magic. the sights and sounds.
Excellent job with this video
I see a video posted by MadSeasonShow, I make coffee and watch immediately in my WoW PJ's.
*The Burning Crusade was the best MMORPG experience I've ever had. I hope they make polls so that the community decides what happens to the game, like Jagex does with OSRS.*
I suspect blizzard will instead screw this up royally and keep their existing terrible focus groups of people who don't even enjoy video games
@@LuMnOsITi *oh yeah, I agree and think there's a 90% chance of Blizzard screwing Classic up. Hopefully it'll be good until AoC comes out.*
2.3 is when they removed the elites and leveling up was massively reduced
I just started classic and to say I've been hooked again is an understatement. I'm loving it.
Very well made vid! I seriously appreciated also your omniscient stand and subdued tone. Subbed!
