It's a classic server from a 2007 expansion, so of course Blizzard got servers from 2007 to give players the closest to the original experience.
Exactly and to give them the true blizzard experience, they banged a in game shop in there, just so you can see you're a cash cow : ) Blizzard are so awesome!
they are actually worse than 2007, because back then the servers had dedicated hardware (also known as the server blades). shadowlands and classic uses some random cloud servers that are virtualized to save money
Yeah they had to buy them back
Looks like it 🤪🤪

Man my boy Illidan made sure that those servers were not prepared.
Because blizzard care only about our money not about us...
Got to 1800 rank with ma boi Ill, was so fast our opponents never even moved.
Comment of The Year 😆
Actually all servers were ok, except Faerlina.
Man playing on OCE I still haven’t had a dc legit went through with flying colours
You forgot to buy the Log In Priority Pass for only 10$
Visa is BIS.

By loging in you accept the contract

Blizzard Activision are a small Indie company you cannot expect them to be perfect alright cut them some slack.
I understand how infuriating this is but it's crazy how effective DDoS attacks are. A couple kids with a couple hundred bucks to spend on a botnet can literally break the whole game down. I object to current-day Blizzard as much as the next guy does but this is the one situation you really can't fault them.
There are solutions against DDoS for websites but that's because you don't really need constant communication with them - you get a page, click a link, get another page, etc. That's very slow compared to a game where you might be exchanging anywhere from 5 to 100 packets every single second you're logged in. DDoS protection just doesn't work.
If anything, get mad at Blizzard for saying "we are working on it". There's literally almost nothing they can do.
@@tukkek shill harder daddy
A multi dollar company
EU Mirage Raceway had 0 issues last night, granted its not as busy as Faerlina, but hats off to blizzard on this one
Eu rea;ms were unaffected. Asia realms too. DDOS attack targeted US server host so basically only yanks got short end because no one else liked them.
The server issues caused asmon to get more exercise than he has in years.

*Esfand* : I think turning in that quest is a bomb (causing the crash)
*Asmon* : Immediately tries to turn in quest and gets DC-ed
2:33 is accidentally the funniest thing ever
2:33 the yes dood, there it is dood in fast forward is hilarious
1:36 might just be me but that was such a satisfying timing with the music.
The MoP memories. Those were the days.
@@user-uq4gr5nl5o yeah the mop music is so fucking good
@@user-uq4gr5nl5o mop opening theme gives me chills its amazing
MoP was a whole ‘nother vibe... We didn’t know how fresh that expansion was! How rare its success would be! We thought it was only uphill from there... PepeHands
Ew, panda music
I feel like the sight of the pit lord being dead when Amon first zoned into Outland is going to eventually serve as the ultimate visual summary of the classic TBC experience, not to sound too cynical.
As someone NOT on a streamer server, it went smoothly for the most part, no dcs, just occasional lag hiccups during the first 2 minutes. Lol lmao
I didn't get any problems at all until 1am. Played on Pagle
When it happened on Makrik, there was a crash and we didn’t even bother to try to relog.
@@rush4g xddd
They had ddos attacks. Ever singe expansion release. Give a small indie company a break guys.
There is not a lot you can do about it.
I got a ddos attack from having to read that
Quite the convenient lie.. Like they would admit that it's their servers and risk backlash vs just saying something that absolves them of responsibility
EU servers were fine so probs was ddos
@@velho6298 wow you are trying to justify how poor the servers are?
i was not prepared. i was too tired so i went to bed then when i woke up i realized that i still need 10 more mining skill to be able to mine in outland so now i am in fucking winterspring mining for 1 hour..

Legit experience of every WoW expansion launch ever. This was so entertaining
I mena teh reactions of people can be fun.
Legion, BfA and Shadowlands were pretty smooth IIRC
@@skirdus367 Glad to know that!
Nah it’s just when you play on the streamer-herding servers
As a Server Admin. I can't imagine the stress those guys deal with on launch.
The steamer server experience. Meanwhile our portal opened 2 mins early and not a hitch
haha same :D they choose the most populated server then complain
@F Blacks ahahahaha
@F Blacks i hope your last name is actually blacks
@@inoox the most popular server chose them
Benidiction had 0 lag or d/c. Thanks for keeping all the lag on streamers servers
Asmongold getting out of his chair dancing while loading in was me during every loading screen as a kid 😂🤣
2:57 That's a great, and funny one liner to hear.
When “Endwalker” launches with minimal hiccups, I’ll be back to talk some more shit
Shadowbringers had a smooth launch.
So smooth I doubt Endwalker will be better.
Shinnouryu I only disconnected twice during Shadowbringers launch. Also, I’d say that Shadowbringers was FF14s biggest launch
Ken Havens I gotta disagree with you there, mate. The classes in FF14 are all unique and play different. Rotations like mini games in of themselves unlike WoW cookie cutter “all tanks play the same” “all healers play the same” but to each his own
yea well no one plays that game. So of course it has no problems
Asmons dad had enough with his shit
"Today, we play Burning Crusade once again"
Oh really.....???
Watched this live this morning! Editors working overtime to make this so quick and so well done. GG!
The giant smile on your face when you loaded in in front of the portal brought back so many fond memories. I'm gonna give it a day or two for things to smooth out before I jump in and ruin my life once again lmao.
Atiesh was smooth no lag everyone in dungeons made it easy to quest
So was Thunderfury, we were about 15mins late but it was smooth.
+1, Atiesh launch was fantastic
Both named after legendary weapons, what a coincidence
Guys if been playing MMO's also for 15 years, and EVERY TIME an expantion releases, there are server issues, queue times whatever. Doesnt matter what MMO, every populair MMO had this, and YET! Everytime people think this time it will be different... Its like the definition of insanity
Well legion and shadowlands where pretty much flawless launches.
Poor bastard, the other realms were working almost fine except his.
Of course that's the server a DDoS attacker would choose as a target...
@@tukkek that's not really how a ddos attack works
Is he on Faerlina?
@@tukkek DDoS would hit their entire infrastructure, not just one single server. DDoSing would cause issues on every server, and most likely retail as well. It's literally just the big streamer server being flooded with people and Faerlina is imploding from the load, same thing as Classic launch just with a lot less people overall.
@@thor.mukbang Yep
LOL the pitlord being dead as soon as he steps through the portal is exactly what I expected of BC 2021 xD quick edit... Blizzard has used the DDoS attack as an excuse for the last what? 15 years xD It's not a DDoS blizzard, it's just players trying to log into your busted servers haha
@@Tory-JJ I know I sure don't know how Servers work so maybe Tory! Maybe Blizzard has the best and most powerful servers money can buy dedicated to their game. Anything for the players am I right? Despite their best efforts and the money they have at their disposal, there are just so many players, modern server technology simply cant deal with the heat! Lets also not forget, that at every launch of a major patch or expansion the shadow organization of DDoS attackers rears its ugly head to breath fire on Blizzards good times! ...Or they are using sub optimal (cheaper) servers for their game and calling high load a "DDoS attack" every time more than 50 people load into the same space... Which is true? Who knows, who cares, Blizzard being cheap and using DDoS as an excuse is just more amusing to me. Though I will admit... Blizzard using the best servers money can buy and still being taken down by this 15 year strong DDoS campeign is kinda funny as well! xD
@@Paskalothevery game has these problems clown
His dad on stream was the greatest highlight of the expansion and it hadn't even started yet
His dad literally just looks like a much older version of Asmongold it's great.
@@mrhamisgood1 the thing is, he is living with them cuz he doesnt want to leave them, he could leave whenever he likes. So the argument of him "living with his parents" its pretty dumb
your face when you loaded in is priceless and adorable. Even with all of blizzard's mass amount of bullshit, they still manage to capture that feeling
with 10+ year old content, maybe they should try making new good content instead of being on the wrong side of history on every topic
Always capture that feeling 🤍
I lost it when the Mists of Pandaria music started playing the second he loaded into the Dark Portal zone
Honestly waiting an extra 5 minutes to form a group on a small server is infinitely better than waiting for queue times like this. I literally did not DC or lag one time all release
You know when i want to play an old nostalgia game i just put the old disc in and play , dont even have to buy it again 4Head
Except that doesn't work for TBC and TBC is actually free if you have a subscription
@@TheKoedijk1 so what your saying is tbc is free if u pay for something, nice
@@Nicaveli lol
@@TheKoedijk1 Wait, you mean that if I want to play an Xpac I ALREADY PAID for once and they make new servers for it, I don't have to pay the Xpac again and can just GIVE THEM MONEY every months to play it for FREE???
Some of those words are wrote with caps. It's a little help from me for you to understand what you actually said.
Bruh 😂😂
Sounds like a twitch chatter that's for sure.
In EU it was smooth as much as it was possible. On Shazzrah we got instantly 8 layers at release time (3 more layers added in a minute up from 5). Got only 1 small spike 30m after, no disconnects, it was a miracle
i love his Tism so much. i have Tism but i lived around many others with it in special homes growing up, i can see it in others in milliseconds. happy to see someone so happy, his rollercoaster lmao. love you bro, stay excited!
The #1 rule for MMOs: Never play on patch day
wow*
EU was super smooth, handed in all my pre done quests, did 1 run of ramparts then went to bed, excited to play it more after work today!
Most NA servers were fine as well, just the one streamer server got rekt.
Got to give it to Blizzard they really gave you an authentic tbc launch experiance.
But is their a vod of this full stream?
It’s crazy to see him now. So much happier.
"But it turned out to be the login screen for Stormwind.." THAT LINE CRACKED ME UP!
Asmon really believes the trolls in vanilla classic who claimed they dont know what TBC was, lmao
I think blizz did a relatively good job from the experience on my server, compared to OG launch for sure lol. I play sulfuras horde which is another high pop east coast server. I went into blasted lands around 545 with my group and the SECOND we crossed into blasted lands it was lag spiking and rubber banding. We got to the DP and it was INSANE! Lag was intense, but I only got 1 DC before entering Outland. There was a massive pile of people waiting for the quest to appear and as I was clicking him checking for quest one time it DC me. After a few min of waiting for the quest to appear, I closed wow deleted WTF, logged back in got the quest immediately, logged out restored WTF, logged back in lag was mostly gone and ran through the dark portal and was golden for the rest of the night. I had 2 other DCs when I tried to leave /4 after filling our dungeon group so I could actually read party chat, but that was it. My whole group was good until 4am with no other DCs. That was a massive improvement for me personally compared to BCs launch back in the day.
Thank you for the video. I had really good laugh.
That quick edit of the spinning seal was so perfect 😂😂😂
You would imagine, that after 15 years, Blizzard might figure somethings out, but I guess not.
Don't play on full server fucking ape brain
@@ziggs123 lmfao Fr, I play on a grobbulus and had 0 issues. Of course faerlina will have 20k ques it's the streamer server
No changes 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
They did on every other server on the world everything was fine af
@@ziggs123 even on full servers
Me and my GF play on different Servers - both are full and both went fine
“I’m trying to load in” sounded awfully similar to “I’m trying to register a vein” turns out all junkies sound the same
Nice lil touch adding the "im having a connection issue"in place runner LOL
"Man we don't have to pay for servers and shit, just say we're getting DDOSed"
idk, my server had a fuckload of people and is one of the highest pop pve servers and there was very minimal lag. Was pleasantly surprised. Very well could've just been Faerlina because of the whole streamer thing.
I wanna see a 'reunion' between Asmon and the legendary Jigsaw
It's funny that everyone is hyping WoW Classic when it's just a "restart" from the beginning.
Eventually it will reach a point where it will restart again because all the expansions will be out again.
And after that it will eventually restart yet again.
And again.
And again...
Nostalgia is a nice feeling.
History repeats itself
WOW only has like 1 more expansion before people will start moving on if they don't plan on releasing a new mmo.
As long as these absolutely BRAIN DEAD morons keep buying it, they’ll keep selling it over and over and over
I don’t play WoW at all(I just like Asmon) but you’re 100% right. They should stop at wrath of the Lich King(what I hear is the peak)
It's actually quite clever, they make profit from the feeling of nostalgia alone. I don't play WoW anymore, I switched to FF XIV a long time ago but I still like watching people enjoy playing their games.
That is if they don't get constantly kicked from the server that is, incredible how unstable these servers are.
What's the music at 0:12 ? I've heard it many times but don't actually know where it's from. TSFH?
i remember the days on incendius when the ques were a solid 2-4 hour ques mid afternoon.
>dungeon levelling the entire way to 70
Absolutely soulless, I’m already sick of seeing tbc videos.
I'd Dungeon level aswell if I was playing tbc. Did questing in classic and it was just pissboring. Takes like 2 hours for some droprate quest that gives you 5% to the next level. At least doing a dungeon is fun.
Pretty sure Asmon would love to quest, but as a streamer thats borderline impossible. Especially on a pvp server
Asmon: I think this gonna go without a hitch.
Chat: Oh no no no
Load screen for ramparts and boom your hide sent back to storm wind son your facial reaction was priceless lol.
My launch experience on Herod was awesome, there was some lag at the start but never any crashes or extend loading screens
Myzreal was smooth. Maybe don’t play on the server all the streamers and their fanboys play on.
shhhh don't tell them about our server being free of queues, populated enough, and no issues except the occasional lag spike.
Yup, Grobbulus was perfectly smooth and my group hit 62 dungeon running.
@@Shad3x even the only populated server in Russia was ok. They got near 5k queue in the middle of the day, and no queue at all on the release hour. 9-11 layers created
Asmon: "I JUST WANNA PLAY THE GAME"
Blizzard: "Hold my beer"
I remember taking the day off for classic and I was on the waiting for queue all day lol wasted a day off work.
lmfao asmongold's reaction to all of this sums up my experience of logging in back in the day upon launch. all the D/Cs, ah memories
Imagine having your optimism destroyed expansion after expansion...and they charge you an arm and a leg 😂
At this point this is just a meme and funny as hell
Herod had no queue and was lag free after the first 10 minutes zero DCs and the zones were relatively unpopulated due to dungeon spam.
You did great :) Thanks for uploading!
They think they get DDoSed while many hundred of thousands, maybe even million players try to play the game...
The DDoS is called, playerbase
So he played for a three days then barely ever again, I really hate how much he now hates Classic.
To be fair, vast majority of servers had INCREDIBLY SMOOTH launch, no issues, I was even able to actually do a quest 30m in and since then play normally. Crazy stuff
Our experience was incredibly smooth, there was some lag turning quests in, but didn't get logged out once (mandokir EU)
Pretty sure faerlina was the only server that had it this bad
Yeah, no issues on my server whatsoever.
Fun fact: EU has 0 lag 0 problems
damnn, dead on arrival :(
Grob was smooth sailing as well
0 q and binged several hours of Outland xD
Whitemane us west was good too
I mean, in EU it was midnight
i miss TBC soo much..
gkick, ddos and multiple disconnects. sounds like a great launch day
There's a guy in one of asmonds vids that paid 1000 dolla for this experience. Just Saying, how fucked is the gaming industry? Dear lord... doomed
Be comprehensive. Blizzard is a multi dollar company. You can't expect them to ensure their game is playable at release.
At least 2 dollars.
@@Dindonmasker Perhaps even 3 dollars, if you feel so inclined.
This is the authentic TBC experience. Just like when it first came out!
I am glad I had work the day of launch. I was eager to play, but my BE isn't 60 yet. I heard from my guild that those who tried to get in ultimately had the same problem. The game was down till about 4am the following morning before it started to work "normally" No one seems to have gotten stuck in a Queue yet and they have been having a blast. Watch you walk through the portal was still epic, I cannot wait to do the same.
I'm playing FFXIV and I never got sent back to Limsa Lominsa for entering a new area on launch.
TBC expansion is to play 2 min and look at loading screen for 20 min
the excitement - he literally has twinkles in his eyes
Is it still possible to transfer a character from WoW Classic to TBC Classic? I just got back into WoW with WoW Classic this month, was just curious if this was possible or if I need to make a whole new TBC character.
They are milking the game with remasters and nostalga
Well yes but we would all rather play this than Shadowlands.

Fairlina was the only server having this issue, almost no lag on Grobbulus after the portal was cleared
Mankrik and the launch as a whole did outstanding. This was a "Classic experience" because people targeted Asmon's server. The making up stories whiners to go along with this video are hilarious. Everything went pretty smooth.
Yikes, didn't think people would go so far to do this to asmon
@@Killer11206 Of course they would. Because they are losers.

Can you level in uncrowded server and change later?
Not as of now
This is everything I wanted lmaoo - went off without a hitch for everyone else
His Walking and waiting while saying cmon reminded me of Cartman waiting for Wii
Yall need to cancel your sub already. This is not the game we all fell in love with anymore, and you know it. This is corporate greed selling you nostalgia, nothing more.
You should take care of your health man, take a small break from disconnections.
If you wanna take a short rest from disconnections, I suggest you to try the critically acclaimed MMORPG FFXIV. You can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award-winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for FREE.
I dont know whats better. Your FFXIV product placement or Bellulars Nord VPN placements lol
What a rollercoaster of emotions.
very smooth lauch on westfall , lagged a bit at portal but fine afterward
Imagine playing on a full server and complaining that it is full, ape brain blizzard community
Must be hard without that streamer privilege and being treated as equals with everyone else.
8:47 I feel like that face is highly memeable.
Keep coming back for more, you know we have plenty more where that came from.
Everyone wanted the classic experience..... this is what it was like lol. Easy to blame DDOS when your servers are shit and can't cope....
Yes doood
Earthshaker EU was very smooth with some initial but manageable lag just before launch
Keeps playing on Faerlina and expecting different results while the echo chamber follows you lol.
