My experience was in iron forge. He stayed in the entrance corridor, healing himself off low levels while all the max level raiders despatreely tried to take him out faster than his healing. People rushed in from SW on the tram to fight him. People were screaming in chat for low levels to flee. Floor was more skeletons than ground and ghosts filled the same space more than the living. Supposedly even Magni joined in on the fight but I was too busy getting dead
@@CaptainGrim Yo grim! If you haven’t, should do one on the blood plague from ZF! Cheers man this was great Edit: nvm bruh, I’ve literally watched it before.. 😂😂
Back when "just play another game" Usually meant uninstalling the one game you have, because it was taking up %70 of the space on your 25 gb hard drive.
"The legion was so bad at invading that in the end we invaded them back" I can only imagine the Legion lords all planning their next course of action and then, from very far away, they can hear "THUNDERFURY!!!"
I knew about the blood disease and the scourge invasion event, but I had no idea about this one. The WoW player base are some of the most creative and terrifying bunch of people I’ve ever seen
@@strider8662 it happened back in 2005 and it became so frequent, Blizzard had to limit the distance world bosses could be kited at, by the time the launched TBC.
@@strider8662 Bro this happened in original... constantly. I'm pretty sure Blizz started classic in a patch that didn't allow bosses to be kited to cities, they would reset. Edit: yea was addressed in video. This couldn't happen in Classic, which was in the later patch.
"Those guys were so bad at invading that by the end of it, we ended up invading them back." This was exactly how I felt during the Legion expansion, wrapped up in a single sentence.
@Miranox The fact they appeared out of nowhere made them the most fun. They also didnt happen every other week, if it would become a mainstream occurrence it wouldnt be special anymore!
@@VaImorian Appearing out of nowhere also made them annoying. A lot of people don't like being randomly killed over and over until they're forced to abandon the city they needed to be in.
You have to imagine how cool/unsettling this must have been, to imagine the great safehaven Stormwind invaded by a Demon Lord slaughtering everyone. My dad loves this game to death for moments like this.
Ye you saw what happend during scourge invasion and some ppl were so self entitled assuming stormwind was their private hub so they took away the fun from us
4:36 He's channeling big Gul'dan energy! 6:35 He was born to defend Stormwind. And Gerald the guard ain't no coward. 9:27 He looks so happy, I wish him all the best. Truly, he is the best the Legion has to offer. Great video Grim.
@@ryouma1717 This guy simply wants to learn the history of the game, and y'all are telling him such copius statements because y'all can't move on from the past. Seriously, it's stupid.
If you want to learn more about the history of the game and it's development, Blizzard has a couple of documentaries on it, one of which I think is called Looking for Group or something like that? I forgot... If you want to learn about WoW lore however, there are a bunch of TH-camrs out there that can definitely help you in getting started. I'd personally recommend watching Nobbel87, as well as Platinum WoW. They're both very informative. As for personal experiences, I'd recommend reading the WoW Chronicle, maybe the WoW Ultimate Visual Guide if you want some old lore recaps, the Grimoire of the Shadowlands and Beyond (If you want a Cosmic understanding of Death and whatnot), as well as the other books that are out there. For the comics and all, there is the Ashbringer stories, the DC published comics, etc. But the canonicity of the DC published comics are kinda weird, considering some aspects are basically just not the game in the actual lore, like Me'dan for example. There are a LOT of things out there that can help out. Hopefully these examples are a good enough start. If you want to START reading the books, I'd first recommend reading the Last Guardian, Lord of the Clans, Rise of the Horde, and the WoTA Trilogy books. They're all such amazing reads.
This brings back so many memories, I also loved how everything was animated and I hope you might cover some of the great events that occurred that were community made.
I don't know how to describe it, but you're videos have improved visually from when I first started watching years ago. Always thought they were funny and great. Thanks for making me laugh every video.
I remember back during TBC when Highlord Kruul visited Orgrimmar with his puppies, fun times. I even got close enough with my rogue to pickpocket him just to find out he had no pockets to pick, then immediately get mauled by one of his puppies. Best xpac launch event ever.
thanks for the nostalgic trip... great times back then... When i wanted classic back and that guy said you think you do but you dont, i laughed... but he's actually right... you never ever can re-create these memories nor the things you did back then.
Happy to hear it! Right now not sure what other events I'd cover if I wanted to make more, but if I decide on something I'll make sure to do so again :)
Excellent video that combines your humor, animation and a really good story. This is a really refreshing video that I really couldn't look away from. Well done!
“Alright, Kruul, I’ve been summoned back to Outland. Make sure to continue my duties.” “What would those duties be, Kazzak? Walking around until someone comes along?” “Oh no, that’s only half the job! You know, some of the mortals here are so nice, they’ll come and lead you on a tour of their world before ending it with a full on buffet in their big city! You know, you should visit these cities sometime…something tells me they’ll miss my company.” By the way, I absolutely love how far the quality of your videos has come! You have some of the best and most detailed machinimas and I absolutely enjoy them!
This takes me back. I remember that time when Kazzak invaded Ironforge and someone had the bright idea of "Drag him over to Magni Bronzebeard. I bet he can kill him!" so we spent a few minutes luring him to the king... only to then see the king get one-shotted! Ah, such good times lol
Oh boy. I haven't played video games in ages but this was real nostalgia trip. I still remember when this happened when I was in SW. At first people were posting that horde had been seen in Goldshire in the chat. A few minutes later this big demon shows up and everyone died instantly.
This was a fun educational experience as someone whos never played wow, i was actually curious if you could pull strong enemies in ff14 when i first started but sadly cant and well i think i know why now lol
6:44 "but not yet, he's a bit to far away from me to care... BUT WHEN HE DOES GET A BIT CLOSER!!" 6:53 "aah here he comes boy, lock him up!" Hahahaha was laughing so hard
Wasn't there that day, but I was there when the tradition came to Ironforge. Man, for the life of me as a lvl 6 dwarf, first char, I had no clue what was happening 😂
The first Kaiju made landfall in Stormwind. The second, Orgrimmar. Then the third hit Shattrath, and we knew: This was not gonna stop. Dee-dle-doo doo-dle-dee!
Heard about it but it didn't happen on my server at the time. I played alpha and beta with my lock and we used to pull Lord Banehollow from Felwood to Crossroads with about 6 other locks. Then we would summon a Doomguard and all our infernals and then release them. Back then they would not despawn and go back to their elite status. Banehollow would sleep everyone while the doomguard would slow any who tried to escape while the infernals mopped up. Always took several large coordinated groups to clear them out. The town would be locked down for hours. As for the Corrupted Blood event I WAS there lol. The interesting part is that people were actively trying to spread the plague to the entire game world. I eventually escaped the cities and learned to stay in the farthest zones using small camps that had a couple of NPCs, you know the ones that sell basic food and weapons as a place to operate out of until the devs patched it. Anyone with a pet kept trying to keep the curse on it and start it back up again. Devs FINALLY patched it out but the CDC took an interest in it and studied the event end to end. There were skeletons littered in every part of the world. Made Kazzak look like a joke. The idea was sparked by the first person to take the living bomb out of Molten Core, a female gnome warlock. Got the living bomb on her pet and she dismissed it and took it to the auction house in Iron Forge and it exploded and killed everyone in a small radius from the AH. The hattari blood curse from ZG was just the next iteration.
That was an extremely fun story 😂❤. We had a similar experience back when Fiesta was a fun game. Some of the original developers were inspired by the old days of blizzard. So I wouldn't be surprised if two events we had were inspired from this incident. Back when the company running the game was good, we had the same experience with a boss called mini dragon. The first time it happened though it was so bad we couldn't kill it. 😂❤ they had to shut us out of the server and do a quick patch that day before letting us back on. 😂 A GM always ran our monster invasion event because he had a great sense of humor. And we also had an event called kill the GM. It took us 3 to 5 years before we Finally defeated him. Took half the server to do it to. 😂
The best part of the vid by far was them pulling Kazzack into the throne room with Bolvar, the two of them vanishing into the other room, and there's this pause of "did....did it work?" to be answered by *20 more shadowbolt volleys.*
Besides the Kazzak pull and the corrupted blood plague, there were also the Vaelstrasz bombs. Debuff that caused players to explode and die in a raid fight for massive damage also sometimes went onto pets. Hunters (again!) could take advantage of this by unsummoning their pets, wandering to a nearby auction hall or other crowded place, and resummoning their still tricking feline companion. Skeletons everywhere.
I'm so glad I was around for all these events. The world bosses the blood plague event was so much fun back then so many good memories I feel bad for the people who didn't get to experience it
The most consistently funny wow creator out there! As a classic era horde player, the ‘let’s go camp horde in STV’ is painfully accurate, but it’s nice to see the alliance suffering in this video 🎉😂
I experienced this on my first WoW trial back in the day. I log in on my new character, I see a demon on his way to Stormwind, and I am repeatedly dead. And I oddly had lots of fun!
I helped my clan mates do this after we watched the video. Every chance we got we’d drag something to town and it was wonderful. It was a different time for WoW.
Storytelling was a very good idea. I wonder if we'll ever get to see another event like this in the modern game. It's been a while since something THIS memorable has happened.
I played a warlock and would summon demons in to goldshire and relinquish control just to watch the town burn. Summoning an infernal and letting it destroy everything was so damn fun.
LMAO I love the hunter reference. I've experienced that recently. Actually my wife plays a hunter and she's pulled the boss by accident trying to "click him" for whatever reason 😂 it's always a hunter
That whole event was so awesome at the time, WoW being my first MMO, seeing players in awesome looking gear, being able to solo what I could not, having epic armored mounts that made a 20 - 30 minute walk from 1 side to the other of a zone take 5 minutes and I just thought that Kazzak was a special event, I was in awe and thinking "I hope Blizz keeps doing this so I get amazing stuff at max level"...Nope, it was just someone having a bad day and decided to make us pay

Usually meant uninstalling the one game you have, because it was taking up %70 of the space on your 25 gb hard drive.
Back when fun wasn't "problematic" and people didn't cry about everything.

clearly all the good invaders died on Azeroth earlier
Only in Legion it was "Muhuhahaha, Draenei vengeance!"
And in SL it was just... "whot the hell r they doin' over thar?"
These player created "events" were one of the BEST moment of my WoW career.
players sometimes make some of the most fun parts in MMO's
They were fun because they didn't last long. If they were a daily/weekly occurrence, would they be as fun?

I love how you both animated it, and showed real event footage. As if a real reporter from the heat of the event.

moments that will never happen again because blizzard doesnt like it when the players have fun
Happened to ironforge too which was often just as if not more populated. People rolled in from SW to fight him through the tram.
Back when there were no achievements, so players made them themselves, alongside epic memorable events. I really miss those days.

Great video Grim.
The threat of some kind of surprise attack or rogue enemies always made the capitals feel so much more alive compared to now.
The more dramatized retelling of these epic WoW events was great! More of these would be an amazing series. Good work ❤
glad you liked it

yeah definitely one of my top wow moments ever! it was my pleasure to make!

That random spawning is a great idea. It make the world more realistic. 😊
I see Kazzak´s invasion as canon, and him opening the Dark Portal was like a promotion from the Legion
Thanks for the entertainment :D love your work.

I'm so glad I was around for all these events. The world bosses the blood plague event was so much fun back then so many good memories I feel bad for the people who didn't get to experience it
The most consistently funny wow creator out there! As a classic era horde player, the ‘let’s go camp horde in STV’ is painfully accurate, but it’s nice to see the alliance suffering in this video 🎉😂
I experienced this on my first WoW trial back in the day. I log in on my new character, I see a demon on his way to Stormwind, and I am repeatedly dead. And I oddly had lots of fun!
I helped my clan mates do this after we watched the video. Every chance we got we’d drag something to town and it was wonderful. It was a different time for WoW.
Storytelling was a very good idea.
I wonder if we'll ever get to see another event like this in the modern game. It's been a while since something THIS memorable has happened.
7:43 And thus came what is now the classic moment of any Blizzard story: The moment when Blizzard ruins the fun.
I played a warlock and would summon demons in to goldshire and relinquish control just to watch the town burn. Summoning an infernal and letting it destroy everything was so damn fun.
@8:38 I actually witnessed a few of these good times! mostly Shandris Feathermoon in Org.
Proud to say I was around for all those events, I have never laughed and rage quit so hard in my life :D
"Oh that's nice...wait...what?!" xD
Hunters truly are the agents of the apocalypse.
Certified Derek Classic!!
Another good video grm, That's cool, i could not hold the laugh at the little gnome running on 3x speed camera lmao
very nice vid, glad you showed some of the other bosses who'd been pulled over the years too
LMAO I love the hunter reference. I've experienced that recently. Actually my wife plays a hunter and she's pulled the boss by accident trying to "click him" for whatever reason 😂 it's always a hunter
That whole event was so awesome at the time, WoW being my first MMO, seeing players in awesome looking gear, being able to solo what I could not, having epic armored mounts that made a 20 - 30 minute walk from 1 side to the other of a zone take 5 minutes and I just thought that Kazzak was a special event, I was in awe and thinking "I hope Blizz keeps doing this so I get amazing stuff at max level"...Nope, it was just someone having a bad day and decided to make us pay
5:49 NOOOO DEREK!!!!!!
(epic battle music plays)
"You're not supposed to be here"
🤣👌
