The worst thing about being in the golden years of something, is that you only know they were the golden years after.
"Someone should write a song about that"
Tried the free week, still can’t bring myself to care about the game after hearing stuff like “every class is available to every race roadmap”
@@shnorkeythefourth4572 try out HC, still good
@@grocksauce7422 what’s that?
@@shnorkeythefourth4572 harcore WoW, classic or wotlk, if you die you delete your char. If you hit max level you can keep your char but no more hardcore-stuff
dang it carbot, i came here to laugh
not to cry
lol
i feel ya;
youre there when many of these expacs came out and to the videos associated with blizzard's games bro, i miss you haha
wtf, this video is so on point it hurts
And yet, I find myself doing both.
Thank you for your animations on madness
90% of the magic has faded away, but there are kids out there doing exactly what we did but in different games. Making lifelong friendships through the video games that we play, and these years will be the golden years for *them* .
😢
Maybe but with a monetized driven industry- it will be very VERY rare - almost every game now day has a pay to win element - 2005 back it was a very almost none existing concept.
Honestly, p2w doesn't ruin the nostalgia effect, perfect world is a nostalgic game even though it's extremely p2w@@MrSabioDice
lol the gaming industry is dead - there are no kids like us anymore.
Agree, but in different games and different genres like Minecraft and Fortnite. WOW has no longer wooow effect
It hurts. So unbelievably accurate. No game has impacted my life more than this one
I saw the downward trend during cata, and only returned at periods to see if it got better. This video actually hurts bad because how true it really is. Blizzard being picked up by Activision destroyed something loved by so many, and the business practices are now standard for them, even though people on mass hates it. Wife and I are playing SoD, but it's not the same, good, but that wonder is gone. Private servers honestly encapsulate the feeling better than blizzard, which is crazy to think.
It's sad but boy did the world change a lot, especially online, throughout that time. It was a magical moment in time. Actually met my wife in Stormwind many years ago. Thank god I needed some 10 slot bags, otherwise she'd have just been another tailor spamming /2 chat 😊
16 years ago during vanilla, I met this little tauren druid leveling near crossroads on the server Vashj-EU, he asked me if I could help him kill some quillboars for this one quest. I said sure, and we became friends. 16 years later and we're still best friends and have met up several times irl since he is luckily from Sweden and myself from Denmark.
That’s amazing
That’s actually pretty wholesome
You are very lucky my man. I also did irl meet up with my guild but after just few years, everyone quit the game and then that was it…Kinda hard to keep the online friendship I think.
Well now that’s heartfelt
Sygt nok
So depressing. So accurate. Sincerely, a decade-long guild leader, now standing alone.
Sorry for your loss. Our guild which had been around since TBC has just passed away as well as of last week. It’s rough out there right now and that is bringing out some of the worst in the people who are still left playing.
@@aroundthefur1210 I completely feel what you're saying. We set up in LK and since our guild's demise I floated briefly to try and find a progression guild that was chill but still looking for mythic progression and I just couldn't get the feeling back of our guild. Ended up raid-leading pugs instead, but that comes with its own pain. Swapped servers and ran into toxic hell. Swapped to classic and the guild there died too. Hopefully it will come good. Best of luck out there friend, thank you for the comment.
also, if you're name is a reference to the deftones album, I approve on so many levels :)
15 years playing and i went to new world..sad days but im having fun again
Same goes for Warcraft 3, its really sad.
When you pug a dungeon, it's rare anyone even says "hi" or "thank you" at the end. It's just run thru as quickly as possible and leave group as fast as humanly possible.
One of the worst things about retail. And since dungeons are one of the most efficient ways to level, that’s all you’ll get. Nothing…
Yeah, thats so sad. I feel like I am playing with bots. Thats why I am currently more enjoying season of discovery, the players say/write more. You can find groups for hard quests by just writing in the chat. It's almost like in the good old days.
It's terrible. I seriously hate it and there are people in retail that just don't understand the importance of communication in mmos. They play it like it's a single player game never uttering a single word
You can be the change you want to see in the world
@@iain-duncannot really, majority of people seem to be blissfully hooked on a dopamine loop of numbers and loot, there is little to no social interaction. even gamers aren't completely antisocial, or at least they weren't always
Don't cry because it's over - smile because it happened.

The road that we walk
Is lost in the flood
Here proud angels bathe in
Their wages of blood
At this, the world’s end, do we cast off tomorrow
One brings shadow, one brings light
To this riddle all souls are tied
Brief our moments, brazen and bright
Forged in fury, tempered in ice
Hindmost devils, early to rise
Sing come twilight, sleep when they die
Heaven’s banquet leavened with lies
Sating honor, envy, and pride
One brings shadow, one brings light
Run from the light
It’s amazing how the same music that made it feel extra happy in the beginning made it feel extra sad near the end.
Thanks for putting my unrealized thoughts into words.
The music in this video is genius and I only realised it after your comment. Holy shit this guy is talented.
Wouldn't that be because the music was neutral, so the video set the tone?
In nostalgia longing and joy are as one...
We enjoy longing for what is gone
and long for joy forever lost.
Toby Fox level music, IMO
Having that box in your hand along with the time card is a feeling that I’ve long forgotten. It was just different kind of emotion that I will probably never experience in my life again. Now I know I’m not the only one with this type of nostalgia.
There were literally millions of people like that.
Even finding the time cards for that game are just pure nostalgia copium. I do miss playing it, and I might shell out the funds during the anniversary month. Token prices are just too high to keep grinding, even across multiple characters.
you'll have tones of those moments going forward into your old age. maybe its an old cologne or perfume smell that takes you back, or maybe you buy the box version of WOW again off ebay and it has the time card and still has that smell, or you buy your first car again and make it how it was when you where 18. I think a lot of people go through these moments or long for trying to reacquire what they once had and many succeed in recreating these memories, like guys who have memorabilia pool rooms. likewise, 10-20yrs from now you'll be missing the moment you have right now and whatever it is that makes it even mildly special.
Wish I could have that kind of nostalgia again, every time I look at wow I wanna go back to it. Though I know the feelings and enjoyment of it will never be the same as the first time.
I'm late but, this made me cry. I miss this time so much, 14 years of my life that will never happen again in another game. So many friends come and gone. Thanks for the memories ❤
You're not late.
I've met and made so many friends on hc wow. Even met up with a guy I met last weekend and we had the best time.
we have to somehow get back to this. There has got be enough of us that feel this way
This video does not feel like it's just three minutes long.
And IT sad :(
It feels like it’s years long.. memories of the past 15+ or so years.
agreed. I don't even play WoW, I only have a brief moment playing on private server and now... seeing this make me sad. It's a memory of 15 years+ mmo and it's dying....
It feels about 13 years long to me. :(
Feels about 15 years long..
This is the most critical of Blizzard that I’ve ever seen Carbot be.
Right on the money ......
Honestly, I always thought that despite all fandom Carbot has always been quite critical about the company.
did u noticed he didnt used the intro "im being repressed"
@@darksoul18 I think that’s what the video says… :/
It's critical of the player base, not Blizzard, but go off
the feels.... I miss my friends.. I wonder where they all are right now.
Me either.

I was playing retail one day and saw a group of low levels running through Elwyn Forrest I joined their party and they where talking up a storm in party chat asking me questions and seemed amazed by some of the things I was saying. They started playing the game for the first time about 2 days prior and they said the game was amazing and that they’ve been having a blast. Everytime they got some item that wasn’t actually worth a damn they would be stellar about it. Anytime they saw someone fly by on a store mount they were in aw. New zones got them hyped.
And it brought a since of peace and acceptance to my mind. Ya the magic is gone for us who have been playing for 8+ years but there are still new players who come and get to experience the magic for the first time and that made me really happy kinda like a mentor passing the torch to their apprentice. It’s not the same magic but it instills the same feeling we all had way back when. I hope that group is still going strong it’s been about a month since I saw them.
Last thing I ever did on my OG tauren warrior tank was fly back to Thunder Bluff, then ride back to Bloodhoof Village, go to the warrior's circle, and sit down on one of the mats. He'd gotten me through Zul'Gurub, Molten Core, Onyxia...then BE pally tanks came around in WotLK and warrior tanks weren't popular anymore. I'd spent more time on my rogue, but then no one wanted rogues in raids anymore. I tried doing PvP but that ended up becoming a repetitive parody.
I handed off my guildmaster position to my friend, went to Bloodhoof Village, had my tauren sit on an empty mat in the warrior circle, and actually felt empty inside as I signed off for the last time, a month before Cataclysm was released.
Istvarrh, tauren warrior, guildmaster of The Grownup Guild on Suramar server. I won't forget those years.
When the friends slowly disappeared. I felt that :(
"See you tomorrow!"
Last online: 6 years ago.
yep. that really hurt.
They weren't your friends if they dissapeared. Unless they died in rl. If not, they were just people on the internet you knew and not friends.
@@greenlight2323 A person can be a friend, even if for a short period of time. Enjoy the interactions you have with people while you can, because most won't last for life.
@@greenlight2323 I advise you watch the last episode of Bojack Horseman. Not every friend you make in your lifetime is a 'forever friend.' Some friends are people you grow apart from, or just lose contact with, but that doesn't make the time you knew them less meaningful. "Every friend you make has to be for life or they're not real friends" is a very simplistic view of relationships and reality.
This hurt... so much more than I expected it to.
True
@Dominic Bandara I've played WoW since vanilla. WoW was my first love. Haha
@@leocalder haha game u play bad, game i play good, updoots to the left fellow redditors
@@heavensborne i don't use reddit, don't really care for it.
Yeah I've been playing since 2007 when I was 10 and this is too real
I feel like after watching this, that this characterizes "it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all" better than anything else. It's so sad what this game has become, but I'm so glad I was there from the beginning
I actually saw this video for the first time today and I agree with you. I never played WoW back in its best days, but I damn well wish I had, given the differences. I wish I at least had the memory of it. Because I've had other similar experiences, especially with MapleStory - except I was the one of the first who became the "last online 12 years ago" guy. I even tried to come back and weather all the shenanigans, remembered my username, password, PIN, only get met with "You've been banned for hacking." I probably would have found nobody online any way.
Hits the feels.. 2004-2008 my life was world of warcraft.. dived in and didn't look back. Great times.
What's a story you look back on fondly, so those of us who were born to late can glimpse this
04-10 for me. WoW was life. It was all I ever wanted to do.... and all I ever did do. And I don't regret a single minute of it all.
a piece of my soul is still wandering in those lands ... it will never be forgotten

comment win... for a vid that won the oscar for most feels of this year
@@narmale carbot has always been able to stir emotions when he hardly uses any dialogue. but this resonates on a different level. it's honestly heartbreaking to see almost exactly what i did in wow for years turn into what it has become. a soulless game where all you do is stand around, que for something, and talk to no one.
i miss my home.
I put the cash stuff out of my mind because I was having so much fun. Breaking and entry is right.
Dropped a tsar bomb on my whole neighborhood more like
there wasnt even an outro... or intro. just... sadness
I found this video today and it just really hit me in the feels. I still remember all of the fun I had in Vanilla, BC and WoTLK - all of the lifelong friends I made (and lost). My best friend - met in-game in Vanilla to originally raid Molten Core together. I went to a board game night over the weekend with two people, both of whom I met in WoW. WoW had a huge impact on my life (both good and bad). Just remember all of the hours on Vent just talking to people as we played. And then Cataclysm came and that was honestly the beginning of the end - stopped raiding hardcore (WoTLK I was raiding ~5 nights a week and just burned out). MoP happened and I still played regularly but it was more like 30 minutes - hour a night. WoD came out and the new games and I just was like "this isn't the game I signed up for" and stopped playing. My life revolved around WoW for probably 6 years or so. I still miss those times but now my life has changed and I have new interests and people in it because of this game.
It sounds like you need a girlfriend dude, a real one.
@@rhysioeren3203 i need one to but there arent any on the ah. its hard out here man
WoD with those damn Garrisons that absolutely gutted the “community” from the cities was a massive misstep even Blizzard turned hard from but I will say as much of a letdown as Shadowlands was, Dragonflight has ended up being utterly fantastic and the nostalgia fun I’ve had since Mists! It even has elements of old Vanilla to it!
@@rhysioeren3203 Sounds like you need to realize people have memorable experiences and like to recall them. Just because your some looser doesn't mean you have to spread your depression elsewhere.
@Av1dd I think your mom is looking for you kiddo.
Omg I actually cried during this . Over an effing game. But up to BFA the stories and the people got me through one of the toughest times of my life. I’ll always be grateful for that. Sounds so over the top but I feel like I’m probably not the only one. ❤
This is visual depression hidden with nostalgia.
This video means that you have to grow up! Its explaining that is time to make a family, to make a baby and live IRL ... i started play wow late..in 2008 and i still have subscription but i play 1 h per month in last 2 years..all my friends have familys and childs and dont have time to play anymore. Somehow I'm in this guy skin....and I understand the hidden message :) if you stated in 2004 when you had 14 years now now you must have 31 yo :) i started at 18 and have 32 ... 30 is a age when you start your life :)
@@SirJohnatan bruh I'm 20 in trade school rn. I played this when I was like 9. Was just saying that the state the game is going into is sad cause it's semi-destroying it.
@@SirJohnatan Do YOU want to have a family and kids? Because you're just saying that's what you're supposed to do, not necessarily what you WANT to do
@@SirJohnatan This may come as a shock to you but not everyone is meant to be or has any interest in being a parent. The 'hidden message' is of a disillusioned player chased away by Blizzard giving in to rampant greed and the players that enabled it, not... whatever the hell you're talking about just because you have to build up cognitive biases justifying why you think, just because you and your social circle prioritized families over hobby pursuits, everyone else should, too.
It was a waste of time that I didn't regret .. I hope all who I played with having good life now
I'm not even a WoW player but this was damn sad...
Me too 😭
Me three.
I don’t play wow either but damn it’s depressing
Me four
I was only WarCraft 3 RTS player, not WoW and this is sad also...

I MISS YOU
And the truth shall set you free...2005 24/7 player who quit mid Cata. Came back for classic. I was literally addicted and the way I found my way out was downloading the sound tracks from the games on my ipod and went for walks listening to them. Escape was easy afterwards.
Man, this hit way too close to home...
Wtf do you mean? This _is_ home. This is what the game has become. It's what players voted for by buying store mounts and level boosts. Activision Blizzard is a dying company, and WoW is a mockery of what it once was.
@@Jakeito413
Like every game series ever?
@@Nutsaur that's inaccurate
@@Jakeito413 we voted and Blizzard never listens, all they care is how to get max profit.
@@Nutsaur Yeah, every game series since the concept of games has been perpetually made shallower and shallower for the sake of chasing profit.
Oh wait no, actually only trash companies who picked share holders as their primary customers do that to their franchises.
You are welcome for the reality check.
With how much stuff you have done in support of blizzard and together with them I’m surprised you could create such a critically damning video of them. That takes a lot of balls.
Getting the truth on the table is sometimes the one best thing a friend can do for another.
I thought exactly the same
I Think carbot dont like Blizzard actions to in the last years so he made the video
You know how the saying goes, "You really have to love something to trully hate it"
They probably skipped a paycheck XD
Channels like these are rarely cooperated with for long. Usually the corporation wants to grab some of the current hype & popularity, sell some MTX / Merch and then move on to the next thing. Same here.
This hit me really hard, man. That first minute into the video is some of the happiest moments of my life.
We all have our definitive golden years of World of Warcraft. Mine were 2006-2010. I was there to see the BC portal open, made friends that have come and gone. I am left with irreplaceable memories, thank you, WoW players.
When the party members started fading away, I felt that.
me too... this was just really heavy stuff
Yeah…. After BC, my guild started to fade and now it’s all just fond memories. I wanna keep it that way.
Like over 50 people I would consider ride or die.. All gone pre-battlenet integration. My heart.

This made me tear up man, it's so insanely accurate. Except people started quitting late cata and a lot during MoP for me. Had some fun in Legion but BFA the game was dead. Shadowlands did not revive the game like we hoped
Played from the very beginning. And this video hit it on the head. My guild had one steadfast rule - in order to join, you had to know at least one person in the guild in real life. So we had a tightly-knit crew. We even travelled to meet up outside the game for huge party/gathering/picnic/ etc. about once a year, which was awesome. And yes, they did start to fade away eventually. Cataclysm had to be the most aptly named expansion ever, because that's where it all started to fade. I still dabble, but almost all of those people are now grayed out names on a guild roster that haven't logged on in years. I miss it, but I'm glad to at least have been part of it.
This is the world for an old man. You watch everything change around you and all your allies fade away. May the light be with you.
This is beautiful. I started in november 2004. My dad had always been a gamer since i can remember him playing warcraft 1 and diablo, he got me WoW for me as a year 12 graduation present, i was 18. He soon became hooked. He made a guild and they raided from vanilla through to Lich King. Those nights of him raiding and the excitment he had made me feel so happy. I miss you dad. I miss wow during its glory days. I have a family of my own now but my kids dont even know what wow is. Feels like a life time ago. Ill never forget those years.

This is literally the most depressing thing Carbot has ever animated. And I saw the last episode of StarCrafts.
don't remind me that ULTRASAD episode...
That episode never happened.
*SPOILERS* What're we talking about? I've played all of them and feel like I'm missing something.
@@GuntherCloneC Carbot has 7 seasons of an animated show like this video but it's based on StarCraft and follows the games and DLC over the years. The final episode was heart wrenching.
@@Raynedog00 But also beautiful, as the Marine and the Medic had a happy ending together. But along with Carbot, I feel that the game Starcraft 2 (and Starcraft as a whole) is finally done. But.. while not perfect (nothing can beat the Starcraft 1 story), the ending of Starcraft 2 was good enough I think :)
I've played since TBC, and I'm not ashamed to say this hit so close to home I actually teared up. This is the most accurate and poetic representation of what I, and I assume my fellow old heads have been feeling for quite some time. Thank you.
As a fellow old head, I can confirm... -_-
I come back every now and then to re-watch this. Just to relive the nostalgia.
It hurts every time, I just want to go back.
I had a NE hunter in a PvP realm and once saw someone with the rare echeyakee white lion pet. The moment I saw it I wanted it so bad. I heard I had to run to barrens to get it. After an epic journey on foot I finally got to the spawn location and only then realized after reading more details online it could only be spawned by a horde quest. I was so disappointed. It just so happened an undead player was running past me and instead of him attacking me, and me attacking him, I jumped up and down and /pointed to the area where echeyakee spawned. He /nodded to me, then told me to /wait. He ran off...and after 15 minutes of almost giving up, he came back, spawned echeyakee and I tamed him! I will never meet this player or know who he/she was, but memories like these stick with you forever and anyone who never played WoW could ever understand the impact these moments have on us.
As a hunter main I just want to say, that’s a beautiful story!!
It’s so true. I’ve had so many of these type of experiences in wow an it’s why it will always be close to my heart.
One of my fav things was back in the day during classic or tbc, you'd ask a gm to restore a deleted character. They'd say 'limited amount of restores, blahblahblah this is likely your last one now'.
I figured I had deleted my alliance on the realm and when the gm said 'Have you made sure there arent any alliance characters on this realm', I said yes. Relogged and noticed I had a horde character and my alliance character on the same server. Both worked, I was able to create more alliance characters, but not horde. Was a really cool bug I never even bothered to use.
One other funny thing is I remember the one rare time I've seen a gm on the PTR was around wrath I believe. I saw some guy randomly fall from near the ceiling in ironforge (where the deep gap is, somewhat near the tram). Bubbled as he was falling and lived, asked him if he somehow glitched up there, said he was teleported. Invites me to group and suddenly hes teleported into the lava at the forge, this random druid and I start healing him through the fire ticks, he vanished again. Apparently a GM tried to kill him a few times and left him in Winterfall lol. I forget what he did, but I actually made a gm ticket and the gm said 'yeah that was me, I like to give people a warning first, something something.' Was pretty damn funny.
Such a nice story, and actually I need to tell you something. That player, the undead who you met in the Barrens all those years ago, the one who spawned the pet for you...
...that was not me. But imagine how cool it would be if that person replied here. :)
@@ArtEqualsLife As a undead warrior main, i just want to say, that's a beautifull story!!! I have similar stories, and totally opposite stories too :D Hunter was great in Wotlk. Warr was great in vanilla/BC
When leveling my first character I had a feral druid guild member who would always do dungeons and their quests with me. Back then this was quite the hassle as you often had to finish long quest chains to grab them, assemble a decent party, walk to the dungeon and be able to finish it. Not that I am complaining, it felt awesome. I did not have much knowledge about the game, and one day asked my guild chat if rogues could have pets. They knew of our leveling bond and jokingly said Kioshiro, the druid, was my pet as he would follow me around prowling like a pet would.
We ended up being close ingame, but after some time life had forced me to leave World of Warcraft and I lost contact. When I came back he no longer played.
This silly interaction is one of my warmest memories in World of Warcraft.
I'm not crying, you are!
I once meet an ingame blood elf girl fishing in orgrimmar, i asked to her what is she fishing and we started to talk about the game. Day after days playing together we starting to talk about our lives on Facebook for months.
A day i told to here that i bough a train ticket and gonna meet her for real for an entire week. The result is we started a relationship but this ended cause of the long distance between her and me.
Almost 13 years after we continue talking times to times. She dont play anymore and she has a daughter. She remain my best memorie from this game
I remember being a level 20-something dwarf hunter on Anvilmar during WotLK back when I started playing. I had gone into BGs and saw a blood elf with that bright red cat that shows up in their starting area. So I asked in the guild I was in if anyone knew where to get it. Someone in my guild, I think a death knight, escorted me all the way from Ironforge to the blood elf starting zone so I could tame one for myself.
One of my own fondest memories of the game.
I was a Warcraft fan since WC2, and when WoW launched I was one of the first ones out of the gate. I helped start a guild and got to be really good friends with a mage and a warrior. The three of us reached around level 30 after a couple of weeks and decided to go on an adventure. We set out from Stormwind and made the run up to Menethil. From there, we sailed to Auberdine. None of us had ever been to Kalimdor, and we wandered and explored for days. We eventually wound up in Desolace, back when there was literally nothing there. We spent a couple of days roaming the coast line, looking at all of the ruined towers and ancient buildings, fighting naga and elite sea giants.
Even now, 16 years later, I still hold those days of adventure with two of my closest friends from Wow dear.
@@VHScape1449 I think most people's best memories of the game involved interactions of some form or another with other people in the game. Blizzard has essentially removed the need for player interaction from the game, so that it was easier for people to do things on their own. Problem is, they didn't realize that the player interaction part is what gave the game life.
I have never played WoW until the last few weeks. My girlfriend lives half way across the world from me atm and she suggested we play it, having been in it from the start. We are playing classic together. I have never experienced something like this tbh, it's amazing. And i am just very thankful that I can share it with her.
You should play the warcraft3 game. Helps understanding everything
I think a little over two decades now, I always considered getting a sub for this game, and I finally did, but It's sad to see this video because I'll never get to experience that time. Though i've been enjoying this game immensley
@@equasian2702 are you playing wrath or retail? Also you got anyone to play with? If not we could play together perhaps and work through some of the old content in classic :)
Good time for it as cata will be out soon
if ever Wow becomes hard due to toxicity, give ffxiv a go, its one of the few Mmo's that still feels like its in its "Golden Age" and the community unbelievably daft and friendly
Exactly how it felt, the awe of going into the world, passing into the dark portal, seeing the lich king, then slowly start seeing people fade away. Well done. Almost brought a tear to my eye.
Carbot: "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed."
Only Carbot could pull it off like this.
Yeah but disappointed with what? What's wrong with TBC Classic?
@@DiamondTear TBC Classic introduced boosts and pay for bonuses like mounts. Its history repeating itself all over again, one of the things that caused the immense decline in the game, and at the end, he's getting out before the heartbreak happens all over again.
@@DiamondTear Ill tell you whats bad. Thanks to boosts no one is doing anything in azeroth and everyone is in outland. Thats whats bad. (No leveling = No making ties with people to play with.)
@@SirBuljo Seconded. I have seen games right before they die. Their leveling zones are barren, having no purpose anymore. Everyone is in whatever serves as a hub. World PvP doesn't exist - even griefers don't leave the hubs, because there's no targets left.
Boosts put a price tag on leveling. It's an admission that they see their own leveling system as a chore, something that deserves to be skipped. Growing a character is supposed to be part of the fun, and the entire reason these gigantic zones exists in the first place. Without leveling, what was the purpose of designing all this content?
Someone needs to hijack the next blizzcon and play this on the big screen.
Bro you are legend!!
Underrated comment
Thought the same thing yesturday! 4chan make it happen cmon guys I know you can find a way.
You son of the btch, I'm in
Lets gooooooo!
I legitimately started weeping as the friends started disappearing and haven't stopped since. It's been 3 years.
The emotion in this is... incredible. Almost teary. So true.
This is such an emotional roller-coaster video
this was sad ='(
Remember when everyone used to spam ''WoW KILLER'' when a new mmo was being released?
WoW killed itself, the irony ...
Thought it was Activision
@@GamingTranceSeer Sparkle Pony was added in WoTLK tho
@@GamingTranceSeer stop sheltering your feelings, blizzard did it.
So falls every empires
To be fair, the only one able to kill WoW was always going to be WoW itself. Once you establish an emotional bond with a game due to time spent and friends made, it does not suffice being a kickass game to kill WoW. Imho that is exactly what we see/saw with FF14. Although FF14 (ARR) has always been good, it is only because blizzard has estranged so many of its player base that it was able to dethrone them as number one MMO. Good for Square Enix though, they deserve it imho. Just as Blizzard once deserved it ... and now not anymore. (Just my 2 cents :) )
im not crying, your crying
Song choice really nails home the feels
New players: let me guess. Your home ?
Old players: it was. And it was beautiful
Years of joy, memories, and disappointment captured in one tear-jerking slideshow
I think I felt what was left of my heart the moment I saw the BC battlepass.
,I also stood alone in the end and then my friends came back after i quit and then they quit again in the end this is WOW
This is such a brilliant way to convey your message. Thank you. Made me cry a little.
"No King rules forever, my son."
you didn't have to kick me when i was down ;o;
The Prince who follows in his fathers footsteps however, if taught and guided with wisdoms of the past, can continue his father's legacy, while still adapting to the modern problems that arise. Blizzard ignored their fathers (the old kings) wisdoms and knowledge. Instead they extort their peoples and rule with a cold iron fist.
"I see... only... microtransactions... for me..."
True..
Stop hurting me more!
You know it's serious when he doesn't put any of his usually goofy stuff in, like the car horn at the beginning, or his channel plug.
"Hey guys, it's me, it's your best friend, Carbot!"
Local chat: "...."
@@SaltpeterTaffy That is a great analogy of how I/we feel attempting to enjoy WoW lately
Holy crap. I just noticed that...
This is beautiful, and sad. Thank you for putting together this truly meaningful tribute to the game.
this is me in 2023, started playing classic era again and I am having the time of my life again
I cancelled my sub 3 days ago.
I was born and raised in Istanbul. When I was a kid my dream was to work for Blizzard. I am 31 one now, made all the right moves for my life goals and now I live in Long Beach and work in Orange county. My work is 20 minutes away from Blizzard HQ but I have never been so far away from the place where I wanted to be the most.
That's an interesting story. And i mean that.
Amazing comment and story
Thank you for your genuine comments y’all! I hope we can all get together in better adventures in the days to come!
Ulan be :(
3 days ago … It took you some time to realize it was all over
Dude, you got my highest respects for posting this video while knowing that Blizzard endorse your videos (used them at Blizzcon etc).
This was spot-on and almost made me shed a tear. The original WoW without any expansions was one of the best experiences a gamer could have had.
nah, BC was the fix for the many issues that original had, although when badge gear was introduced from Bobby taking over you could already hear the wind starting to blow in the dying limbs
@@narmale Yes, original WoW was unique when it came out, but it had many glaring problems. Like I don’t think I ever did a 40 man raid with 40 man in vanillia, because of server instability. Paladins and bears were missing a few abilities to actuelly tank and so on.
TBC fixed that. There is a few things from wotlk that could have been used in tbc, but I think that tbc was were WoW really became “complete”
And now they will break ties with carbot, because they can't handle criticism. Just look at the bald one, he is always critical of wow even though he loves the game more than probably anyone. And Blizz does not even acknowledge he exists, it is like company PR policy to ignore him, even though he is like the biggest streamer and most known WoW content creator.
Its like a farewell letter to a long time friend and I think it was spot on and beautiful.
@@caffeinefuelled9186 i still talk to 3 friends i met in vanilla... still have their phone numbers... and i just texted all 3 to watch this... i dont think any of us will have dry eyes after this
So many memories... So so many. Thank you old school well for all the great things you've done. You will be missed. Thanks carbot. You encapsulated it perfectly.
What's a story you look back on fondly, so those of us who were born to late can glimpse this
Took me over 30 hours straight to finish the installation process. Good freaking times.
Remember every year when there was going to be a new "WoW Killer" but in the end WoW was it's own demise.
I still remember when Totalbiscuit (Rip) played WoW back in its heyday. Upon being asked if there would ever be a "WoW killer" he responded with a resounding "No. The only thing that will kill WoW, is WoW itself."
The biggest of facts
Same for Halo, Star Wars, even Fortnite Warhammer 40,000. Every thing must come to an end
Many a great empire crumbled within.
Blizzard in Walter White voice “I am the WoW killer!”
This video really hits home, especially as expansions went on and friends became less and less. The sweetest and most amazing person I ever met got lost somewhere in time and space and I miss her dearly, Shadlina. A Night Elf Druid, we used to play on Bloodhoof, and I myself a Night Elf Rogue at the time. She had a stroke at a young age and I remember our guild did everything it could to make sure she would be there doing the end game content with us no matter what. I can't believe the memories we hold so deeply buried within from the people we've met along the way. I miss you Shadlina, wherever you may be. Know that I never forgot about you.
I play on bloodhoof too. Started in cata when I bought good laptop. Lost my first account.
My Shadlina was Tashali on Sisters of Elune. One of the hardest lessons to learn is that not every friend you make is a forever friend, no matter how close you may have been. Things change, people change, sometimes you make a mistake. Life would be great if every friend I made since joining WoW in 2007 had kept in touch in some way, but, you know. Not always how it happens, even when the other person is everything you ever sought in a friend. Just hope she's doing well.
@@AA-yk7ki For what it's worth, you have one friend out here. Adulthood's lonely but it's not always gonna be that way.
Aww I remember my good old male friends where they played with me to have fun and not bc i was a girl now all of the guys that play try to get with me and if I reject them im called a whore or an egirl i wish I could go back where gender didnt matter and I played to have fun and not date ill never forget any of the cool friends i met at a young age but that are gone now..
I remember playing in a guild full of older folks ( 40s - 60s years old) back in 2006- 2008. Had a lot of fun with with them because they really matured. I feel like a good portion of them have passed it's sad thinking about that.
im glad i get to experience somewhat of this feeling in classic since i never played classic, the player interactions really make it to something special
I cried watching this 😪. That's really how I feel. WOW was part of my life. From my adolescence. I miss.
Don't be sad because it's gone, be happy because it happened.
I agree with you, in fact, I'm certain all of the community agrees with you. But it's sad because this fall was caused by greed and arrogance, not because the product itself was flawed. When you try to cater to everyone, you push your target audience away. To make matters even worse, this sort of practice also doesn't guarantee that new players will join necessarily. So what you remain with in the end, is the fact that the biggest WoW killer was not FFXIV, Gw2, or anything else. It was WoW itself.
Marketing mistake 101 nowdays - instead of focusing on the clients that are loyal and come to you, you alienate them by trying to go generic, doing nothing but ruin your following and possibly pushing away those who were once there for you 24/7.
Remember, everyone reading this. Always know who your audience is and from that point on, when moving forward, move so, but don't exclude your supporters.
Stay safe out there, champions.
Why did you have to include chopped onions with your post 😭😭😭
Have an upvote...
That's not better
I'm just glad i was there for it. But i hate that i have to accept it will never be what it once was.
Wish it would happen again with some crazy ground breaking mmo. For me it was d2>RuneScape>wow. Tried some other things but other than private server wow nothing has brought that kind of joy since
100% nailed it. Been here since 2005 and you summarized the shifts in community, interactions, and gameplay perfectly. I feel like a big thing WoW originally had going for it at the start was how the internet was still a bit of a novelty but now there's so much competition and it's oversaturated and it doesn't feel as magical. Oh well. Great cartoon tho CB
It’s not just WOW. Every mmorpg ever. Lineage, Aion, Tera, EVE Online… and it’s definitely not that I’ve grown up. It’s just not fun anymore. So many time savers for irl money, instant teleport stuff, top gear just handed to you doing main story quests… absolutely no sense of achievement and it gets dull very quickly.
Didn't know u play wow
@@theUBERsashimi 😂
Beautiful! And so true, i felt nostalgic and sad at the same time. Bravo!
Or the game just turned into a moneygrab trash...
Brainless games for brainless monkeys have flooded the market, catering to the lowest tier of human intelligence.
Make games challenging again and hardcore gamers will enjoy them just as always.
I started in 2004 of November. Watching this made me big sad! I was only a Sophomore in high school and I lived and breathed this game. All the amazing people I met throughout the years. Sadly my journey ended in MoP in Throne of Thunder. My guild…after so many years together finally ran its course and we slowly dropped one by one until there was basically a hand full of us and then now just me…
I miss those days so much, I would give anything to feel that “feeling” again, to hear those voices I’ve grown to care for and loved for many years.
You new gamers will never understand how this game and many others at the time changed the world for us boomers.
What's a story you look back on fondly, so those of us who were born to late can glimpse this
i played this game so much it's my best game for ever but at mop i felt it's drain my life and have bad feel about my life my journey ended at ji'kun, sometimes i like to back and feel it again but....
I started with cata but joined classic as it released. Iam from germany and met some guy from africa. we leveled into bc launch together and kept leveling most of the time until 6-7am (my timezone). we lost each other but damn this was such a magical time. I hope he's doing alright.
We met in Thousand Needles in 2005, he died in 2013. I miss you so much. RIP Chameleon.
i remember playing a troll warrior back in 2004-2005 questing in eastern plaguelands, i was minding my own business killing mobs when this other warrior came out of nowhere and were battling for straight 2-3mins and this undead priest joined the fray and whispered me "keep fighting, i got your back" we were victorius, we started to talk to each other and we become friends trough tbc and wotlk, he quit in ToGC patch. We had so many adventures together! if you are reading this bloodlife - Emerald Dream know that your friend shrekfriend still remember you!
this hit my feels in the feels. it made me happy than sad, i still play retial still enjoy the game, but all my friends are gone
I played from 06-2017 then again from 2019 till 2022? So many great ana bad memories from this game. I miss my friends from my old servers. I hope they are doing well.
This is a 2 minutes and 48 seconds video that represents millions of players. CarbonAnimations, you just nailed it every piece of frame.
The moment that first dwarf hunter faded away my heart just broke
Same.... you knew what was happening.
I was the human warlock that almost quit altogether in the second year of WoW. If it wasn't a providential reversal of getting right into the raids, I might have stopped playing WoW altogether. Even when Vanilla was Retail, I learned right away that people sucked and that the call of the soloist was the only one I could answer.
I had a friend that was a dwarf hunter who passed in early wrath we spent so many nights during crusade world pvping so the dwarf going first hit home
Idk buddy, sounds like poor choices. I've been playing on warmane (former molten wow) for more than a decade, and the feeling is still the starter one 🤷
Man... it hits harder than it should lol ;-;
I was there day 1. The servers would crash every 5 minutes. Good times.
this was next level, based on Carbot standards which is already very high.
Brings a tear to my eyes. WoW changed my life. I love Carbot Animations! /hug all
This hurt way more than i thought it would
Vanilla WoW: "Remember us... Remember that we once lived...."
Take my upvote, how dare you bring the feels from FFXIV over to the feels of dead WoW and hit home. How very dare!
Remember that we once cared...
@@pastelwraith1946 quote is from Troy movie
BC Classic: Helo, fake you
One brings shadow one brings the light
God damn I didn't expect to feel so sad by the end of this.
This is video is so on point that i have a huge wave of nostalgia and cant control my emotions rn
Started playing back in September 2008. I couldn’t figure out the camera angle and I kept dying. It threw me off and I quit for a few days. Then I told myself I have to try again. Then I scrolled with my mouse by mistake and it zoomed out the camera and everything became clear. I was hooked. First toon was a dwarf pally that I leveled to 60. It was tough but it was fun. Couldn’t stop playing so I bought TBC and upgraded. Soon after, WOTLK came out. The rest is history. Those were the days. Thanks for this video.
That's what I love about Carbot he's so honest even if Blizzard can see this and they may dislike it xd
blizz would still like this. they know why people play and can see the stats and reasons people leave or continue
@@gabbonoo The developers, maybe.
The CEO and shareholders ? They only want money no matter what. Too bad, the developers are not the ones in charge.
@@Alienoiable the current devs are just as bad. Theyre so self-obsessed and hellbent on creating esoteric endgame systems that no one cares about and are impossible to balance. Imagine how much content we would've gotten if they didn't have to put all their energy into balancing a bunch of garbage like covenants.
I mean the Blizzart Carbot loved and trusted isn't no more. The people that made blizzard reliable, fun and understanding all left one after the other as activision took over. Now it's just activision behind the blizzard name and it just hurts.
@@BaneRain hate to break it to you but a lot of the current devs are the same devs as back in classic/tbc/wotlk.
Of course some of the "faces" have left, but most of those behind are still the OG's.
The ending so perfectly sums it up.
“You can keep playing a bit longer if you want.”
“ No... just- just end it now.”
Sad but true (T-T)
sad for the game but really true
This made me so sad and nostalgic, well done. I started in Vanilla and have played off and on since then. The "anybody want to party" message really got me
I never had the chance to enjoy any endgame contents myself since when I play I was a child and there was a age restriction in my country, but I enjoyed every seconds of it, it was a world, it was alive.
This video brings me so much happy memories and made me tear up every time I watch it
Remember the journey. Not the last step.
And remember that you can still walk a different path.
The adventure never ends.
An adventure ends, but there is always a next great adventure.
I still remember and miss the beginning, where you needed to use the type of weapon, what you wanted to be your main weapon, just to increase your famialirity with said weapon, and could increase your profiency with it... I had an orc shaman, who i trained really hard with unarmed attack, just to make it still efficient with a WarCraft 3 appearance - complete with the wolf head headpiece from Zul Farrak - the "Embrace of the Lycan", and claw weapons. The ruination begun, when the developers considered the often hard work of developing the right amount of skills is not alluring to the players lazier, but more wealthier half, so they changed it to "iif you have enough gold and level , you can get anything immediately"...
Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end. -Semisonic
Remember the ganking 😈
And ninjaloot
Garrosh was right about one thing:
Times change.
I kinda feel like this is a cop out excuse people use. My D&D group still plays regularly after 30+ years and hundreds of campaigns. My circle of friends that enjoy fighting games still come over once a month to play Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat after 30 years. But somehow this argument is always thrown out about WoW that the game isn't enjoyable because we got older. Sorry but I don't buy it, and people denying the fact that the game HAS changed massively need to wake up.
@@shadowviruz The truth is, the players had already brought boosting to WoW Classic, it was just happening with gold buying on dodgy websites and aoe dungeon farming mages ingame. I hate everything about it, but you cannot deny that the retail playerbase made that a reality in Classic.
@@cattysplat Yeah, but it was highly discouraged and even punished by Blizzard because they weren't getting the money. The WoW token changed that.
This helps me grieve. Thank you.
I used to play since it’s lauch. I always cry when I watch this.
Still crying while watching this 8 months later. That's all. Thank you Carbot.
2 years later, not playing anymore and still cryin' ...
Same :(
J'avoue c'est terrible, on vivra plus jamais ça dans un mmo ... Mais au moins nous avons eu la chance de l'avoir connu quelque part
The way the guy logs in makes friends with different players and then they drop out one by one…omg…right in the freakin’ feels.
Can we go back in time :'(
@@cesars7281 yes pls....
What blizzard needs to understand is that this is literal player experience. No sugarcoating
Push this comment.
its kinda ironic how there is hundreds, maybe even thousands, of wow players in this comment section alone, complaining about how nobody wants to team up, make friends, in the game.
