When you got to the final point on the community, I honestly shed a tear. I was a Dwarf paladin on a role playing realm, I remember meeting a level 60 paladin outside Ironforge and I stopped to marvel at his Lightforged Armour. We talked for a while and when he mounted his epic lvl 60 steed, I remember the sense of awe I had at having been with that player and having them take time out of their day to talk to me. As he was leaving, he said to add me as a friend and when I made 60, he would help me get my epic mount. The paladin was true to his word, when I finally made 60 many months later, he returned with three other paladins and they fought with me to complete my epic mount quest, even donating gold to get me where I needed to be. It was a gaming experience I will never forget and one thing that made vanilla WoW so amazing. I look forward to giving some paladin I meet outside Ironforge the same help I was given, over a decade ago. See you in Azeroth folks!
Community is what it was, the content was so boring or hard that if you wher not happy to be social you where stupid today you dont care grouping is easy and solo play too, friends are a husle aktually...... i guess thats the only misdesign today (exept no talent trees) and stuff being too easy and having no uniqueness value
@@hanskraut2018 agreed the community was good but the gameplay was boring for me same with the quests other parts of the game. I'm not a social bot like some others so back than I always had a hard time getting into dungeons or raids. I maxed my char from questions and killing stuff and it took forever. I hope the game does good and you can tell a lot of people are hyped for it, but it makes me wonder how many of these people actually played vanilla? Do they fully remember it all? Back in it's time it was awh inducing because the graphics design and combat they had. It was all advanced during it's time and pulled a lot of people from other games because of that. Like I said I hope the game does well but I do have my doubts. And I can see the community getting divided into 2 like runescape. Half the player base on one portion of the game the other half on the other portion of the game. That's just my theory though!!!
Beautiful
What level where u at that moment?
Only 32 atm
Throwback to priests mind controlling people into the lava of blackrock mountain
I was banned for two weeks for doing this lol
Or warlocks throwing players off the bridge between Wetlands and Arathi with fear.
@@m0b1u5j3t wait, why? How's that against the rules?
@@kolukolev726 Doing it constantly was classed as griefing, people used to get majorly upset if you messed around and made their day any longer. Look up "crazy DKP guy" and you'll get an idea of what I mean. A lot of guild leaders laughed at that and said "I'm not like that, lol. Right? Guys? Guys...?"
@@ThePvthfinder Yes. I was fortunate enough to play WOW since the closed alpha with a lot of my old guild mates from Ultima Online. We came with our PK mentality and helped the Blizzard team by constantly finding loop-holes in the game to abuse other players. And this went on all the way through vanilla. Eventually the game became to player friendly and was no more fun :)
I remember doing the fun quest to get the key to Scholomance, I was on my hunter and a mage in my guild wanted to learn Lifestealing but couldn't get in the door, I had the key at that point, and to celebrate I was shouting in General chat "Hey I got the key to Scholomance if anyone wants to go in I will be sitting here opening the door for EVERYONE for 3 hours, I made 1000g just from people tipping me for opening a door and I got salutes from horde and alliance alike, I felt like a god damn Warchief with all the respect I got, I loved it and my guildie of a mage got a guild group together and since I had a rogue he gave me lifestealing for free for again just opening a door, made me happy beyond belief to be "The Man... with the key"
wow thats a good idea to make some gold im stealing that
This is a pretty nice strory!
There was like "that one guy" who opened UBRS for everyone on our server. Every time I ever got into an UBRS group, it was always him opening the door, the struggle to get the key was such a pain in the ass he saved everyone so much time getting attune to onyxia. It was quite funny really how often you saw and played with the same people.
I liked using Rank 1 Arcane Explosion when trying to find a rogue sneaking around. If you used the max level you'd be OOM soon, and then he'd just thrash you. Using Rank 1 you could just spam the crap out of it. It wouldn't hurt him, but it WOULD break his stealth.
shhhh ! Let's keep this a secret !
I’m rolling mage in Classic . Thanks for tip...same with rank 1 frost bolt :)
How much better is it than Perception (Human racial perk)?
@@LpSC2online amazing... It really helps while dueling or stalking another rogue
Damn boy! Dont reveal that 😂 Im going for the Rogue class again
"dang, he really has no life"
I mean, "what a beast"
I miss seeing people running around, I never see anyone for long, no one even talks in dungeons. The game is basically a single player game with generic online rpg aspects...
I forgot all about detect invisibility with Warlocks! That was so cool!
Very true.. Folks don't quest together or simply communicate at random anymore..
@Spiritpoweredinternet yep.. Maybe folks will take the group mentality from the classic servers and apply it to the modern game.. Even if the mechanics don't call for community anymore
@@DozyDruid that will never happen.
@@DozyDruid I'll gladly meet up with you and anyone else with your philosophy. I missed Vanilla as well as BC. I began playing during WotLK. I'm really looking forward to playing what I hope is a genuine Vanilla experience.

It almost scares me to think that I will return to a game in which I put so much time in as a young teenager, and now return as an adult. I thought that I would've grown out of this by now and here I am, playing exactly the same thing as I did as a kid.
Right? It's almost as if things have come full circle.
I quit the game when burning Crusade came out haven't played since, but I'm actually thinking about coming back for this. And to think I'm almost 40
@@pikkons I'll be 31 years old this year.
I used to play classic/BC age 17-19, now I'm 30 and playing Classic WoW with my wife! WoW is for all ages and stages of life and it's a great way to have fun together. Enjoy!!
Most players never Raided, the game was all about leveling. Blizzard lost sight of that.
that new players did too
THANK YOU
the raiders are the whales who they want to encourage to shill money as much as possible
@@DakarrtheTerminator I don't think you know what the whale and shill words are.
@@joelhodoborgas whales are an industry terms for a small demographic of players that spend exuberant amounts of cash to buy everything the game has to offer and depending on the context one can shill (smth) out or shill for (sone) the former shilling out usually money and the latter making apologetics for someone.
2004-2006, it was long long time ago, god damn, awesome game.
I liked wotlk. I played in a private wotlk server and found it nerfed :-(. But to me was a perfect balance of old and new. Man did a lot of wintergrasp battles to get the gear for Naxx and ICC for rep points. I remember seeing the dragon in Cat demo in2010 and knowing right then that wotlk was it. Shit from then after ...
the experience was absolutely mind blowing! played so much 60 and 70 it ruined my life. havent even looked at wow in over 10 years....and id do it all over again
dave watkins Relatable
I literally came here to say what he said
same.. and i wouldn't change a thing
Runescape does that to me and I can't wait for wow classic
It's criminal what blizzard did, made such an amazing game then ruined it on so many people
Having maxed lockpicking got me into groups.
Your voice isn't monotone. It's relaxing and enjoyable after a long day of work where people are yelling constantly
And some youtubers yelling in irritating voice. I really love watching these videos and listening to a normal human person
It is monotone, for the most part.
@@karitakaeilola4465 YO ITS YOUR BOY HERE SUBSCRIBE NOOOW
But I kind of have to play the video on at least 1.25x speed xD Speaks a little too slow for me
yeah. always listening to him to calm my mind and be able to sleep. thanks for that :)
Have you ever found someone as wholesome as Madseason? I don't think so... This guy is lovable in so many levels
The community nailed it. Our guild used to have a raiding guild and a feeder / training guild. Everybody helped each other and the gear ups meant a lot. At the end of the day it was about playing and seeing the same folks and working for it together.
Tavenhotep Fuck, I almost forgot about it. The guild bank where kind people would drop their outdated equipment so that lower levels would take it. I remember that higher level people in the guild, since you couldn't fly, would have to do quite the walks to some places, and in the meanwhile they would mine the minerals or collect the plants, and drop the low lvl ones on the guild bank. Glorious community indeed, never seen a community like that in any other game.
LF3M for any dungeon LFG Tank, Healer and and a keyholder for UBRS, Scholo, BRD or SM
Got room for a pally? lol
@@fandore12 inv pls
No need to worry about this happening. Popular LFG addons will delete this experience for good.
can you spare 5g!?!?!?
1 of the reasons I'm rolling rogue: lock picking baby!
Vanilla/TBC gave me what I really wanted from a RPG-MMO. I quit around WotLK, took a break and tried again during Cataclysm only to quit again a few months afterwards. Point being, I haven't seriously touched an MMO since then, and not because of becoming older and having less time, because I spend almost as much time gaming today, but there are just not any MMOs that capture me. Too many QoL "improvements" shrinking the worlds and the experience.
I tried ESO and have an account there, but I barely ever touch it these days. I probably played it for 1-1½ year on off, but WoW, there I was a regular for 6 years, reaching a /played of about 1½ years of time logged in.
Exactly the same, i just tried and played gw2 for a while instead
That's how I feel about it too. WoW fucked over the entire genre with their "casual" (the game was already casual for an MMORPG) nonsense, because everyone else feels as if they have to copy it. I only played Wildstar after WoW, and all the same stuff that made me quit WoW was in that game. I maxed out without talking to a single person (LFG/LFR and easy, or at least soloable questing) and just quit in disappointment. Beatiful game with many cool features and fun as a solo experience. But no lasting allure at all because of these things.
It's interesting how eating/drinking after fights is now seen as a time waster and inconvenience. When the game came out, this was an amazing *feature* and act of kindness compared to other MMOs, which made you sit around twiddling your thumbs or use expensive consumables while waiting for your health and mana to regenerate.
I played daoc before wow, when i first played i remeber thinking how fast levelig was compared to daoc, in that game quests doesn't existed.
4:28 Even the nature of birds made you speechless back then

Man, this video was such a journey! Thank you! I started playing during the early days of the Burning Crusade. I had fun throughout the whole video, but your last point hit me really, really hard. You inspired in me the "nostalgia" factor that has turned into such a cliche argument by now. I did not expect I would experience it this intensely every again. I was reminded of the genuine love that I shared with my guildmates at the small RP server where we played as kids. Everything was so big and romantic back then.
I don't know if I'll play WoW again. Likely not. The only thing I can do is wish you and the people committing to Vanilla to experience this strong sense of community again.
Nobody talking about wall climbing?
Best feature ever.
Wall climbing under stormwind, from the gate in Loch Modan to the Ironforge airport etc etc.
So good
Sadly it won't be in Classic.
Was it still possible in 1.12?
They made it into a real thing. They call it rockclimbing
Your video made me nostalgic. I played on Illidan as a rogue until WoTLK dropped. An Iraq deployment ensures I wasn’t going to be playing for awhile, and when I got back, couldn’t get adjusted to Cataclysm. I will definitely be hopping back on for classic. FOR THE HORDE!
Can still play vanilla on private servers for free man.
@Gary Oak muh irak, muh ptsd
Did u kill anyone?
I had a civilian suck a fart out of my ass one time. About all they’re good for
hell yeah bruddah kill dem alliance dogs
For me its defintely the nostalgia. The first time i walked into Orgrimmar and everything was full of people with shining armor and weapons...i was like...woaaaah.
Same for me except in Ironforge! I came from SWG(Star Wars Galaxies), so one of my first goals was to get the glowy weapons since they looked like lightsabers lol
for me that was goldshire lol
irish rover yeah but doesn't mean you can't relive the feeling. Its like watching your favorite movie. Or your favorite food it just has that special feeling even if its not the same. That feeling will though.
the novelty wears off pretty quickly sadly
irish rover I totally disagree, when the Nostalrius private server was out, it really felt like the old times; but better! Since 15,000 players we're on one server at one time.
I love how positive you are for this community, truly the monotone hero we deserve. End the end we are all on the World of Warcraft side
"But if I turn with my mouse, how do I click rend?!?"

I love ur monoton voice, its neither overwelming or anoying, like those speakers of low value/effort dokuments in the tv ^^
Appreciate your work on the vids and hope it makes still fun.
One of the things I would have in my top 10, thinking it's either number 1 or number 2 is the CRAFTING. That part of the game was so rewarding, quests to either make certain pieces or find that one pattern always was a great challenge. You needed the crafted gear in certain dungeons and raids to even have a chance of finishing them. Especially items that gave resistance to certain elements. I still remember all the craziness that my leatherworker went though as well as my blacksmith.
@Jonas Eiben Thanks man! I appreciate the kind words.
@Ragetiger1 Good point! Just being able to pick different specializations was cool too(hammersmith, swordsmith, etc..I believe leatherworkers had some too). Looking forward to it!

Next video better have a "peace" at the end.
Liked at "Balance for being laughed at"
Boomkin for the win!
Cody Publicover don't you mean OOMkin?
Hahaha it cut me too deep
Nailed it
A chicken main this only adds to the pain of the bfa prepatch
Was soooo proud when I, as a casual gamer, completed my warlock chain mount quest at 60. 👌🏼
"And balance for being laughed at." I was dying hahahaha
The number one spot for me is definitely the social aspect and the competition of the game. I played on a vanilla server for some time (October 2017 - June 2018), so quite recently. When I was level 10, I met some german guys who I made friends with. Even max level we still did stuff together, our warrior tank went on to lead the most successful weekly PUG group on the server, where all spots are usually given out via discord a day in advance. When I hit 60, I joined a guild that started getting into MC raiding and we did our first raids together. I quickly worked my way up to officer and eventually, after our guild master had some RL stuff to take care of, lead the guild for a month before having talks with another guild master about taking our raid core in to raid with them, since I didn't have the time or experience to be a good guild master. It worked out and we raided two more months with that guild before exam season came in and I had to make a hard stop with all things WoW to concentrate on learning.
I had a resto Shamy with BWL gear and a Rogue with the best daggers till AQ.
Another thing I loved was the 200 v 200 massive World boss battles between horde and alliance. The factions were trying to disrupt one another in their tries and there were always the PVP premade groups who were going for Grand marshal or High warlord and just focussed on AOE-bombing the entire group when everyone was stacked.
@Wormy - Thanks for the shared story! I really like to read these from other player perspectives! :)
What was the server called, I’m currently looking for a good vanilla server to play on, but I really can’t find any.
Bendix Elysium-Nighthaven - But I don't recommend starting there too much, since it's slowly losing players ever since Kronos 3 and Light's hope started their servers.
Bendix light’s hope (northdale), for your own sake: don’t join Elysium
chinom Mages, hands down. With Blizzard and cone of cold doing a buttload of damage, they're the best in terms of AOE. You can also Blizzardgrind EXP when you get tired of questing / run out of quests.
Great list. I love hearing about all these, both to hear your opinion and for nostalgia.
Some random things I look forward to, in no particular order:
- Class Quests while levering. You have to earn some of your more important skills.
- Elemental resistances will matter again. They made for some interesting mechanics, and many times gave people a reason to explore lower level content to find resistance gear. Plus I just like the idea of it.
- No transmog. While I love transmog in retail, there's no denying there's a certain charm in seeing people run around in mismatched rags. They made full armor sets look amazing, and you could guess a player's strength based on his outfit. If someone came at you with the Doomhammer it was intimidating. There's still some aspects of this in retail since you have to get a weapon or armor piece before you can use the appearance, but it feels diluted for a couple reasons. The amount of shiny armor has increased immensely, and one more reason...
- Rares will be rares. Back then there were several weapons and armors you could recognize by look alone. Thunderfury was THE sword. Doomhammer was THE mace. And even the most casual of casuals usually knew what armor came from what raid. Nowadays there's still hard to obtain loot, but between the sheer amount of it and palette swaps for different difficulties it all blends together.
- Professions. No flying will make grinding for mats much more difficult. There's always something useful to make. And due to the cost it's a tactical game deciding what to pick and learn. Professions were in a sweet spot were they felt rewarding, it felt fun doing them. Some recipes even required you to go to remote spots to craft mats. I'm admittedly not that knowledgeable about professions in retail, all I feel is that it's lost it's magic. I don't have the motivation anymore to train.
- Race specific mount. While still true to some extent in retail, the amount of mounts has made it rare to see races stick to their own mounts. I dunno why, but there's something charming and world building by seeing all the night elves ride on sabers or taurens with their massive kodos. Seeing someone with a different mount was a big deal.
- The old models. Seeing how I've almost lost all interest in pokémon since they upgraded from pixel graphics to 3d, this one is no surprise. The new models are nice, but they missed the mark on a lot of things. The old ones have far more varied faces, certain hairstyles like the night elf braids weren't bugged out, eyes didn't look like they could pop out of their sockets at any second, different faces actually had different expressions,certain hair colors that's practiclaly been replaced in retail... the list goes on and on.
- Short view distance. Maybe a strange one, but one I find important nonetheless. Not being able to see the ends of the world makes the world feel a lot bigger. Teldrassil is a good example, in vanilla there's a deep pink fog that covers the entire place. Due to the increased view distance in retail, unless you turn it all the way down that fog is almost entirely gone. And even at lowest it doesn't come close to vanilla.
- TOTEMS
- BUFFS
- MARK OF THE WILD AND THORNS. By god, I want my druid buffs back.
I’ve never seen a more accurate top 10 list in my life... the nostalgia man...
got me tearing up
For me the most magical thing about that vanilla experience was that it was my first mmo. Exploring the world and meeting other living players was something out of this world.
Sadly there is no going back to that noelty. So this list has made me appreciate tha many ways in wjich the game has become more friendly for a casual player.
Although I love the idea of classic servers and hope they will be well populated
me too i doubt ill raid past the mini ones like the spires, its just too time consuming for life, I would like to see them go to burning crusade as the class balance was much better than classic as well as the hybrid classes actually being able to hybrid like they intended. The changes are nice but theyve gone way overboard in recent years, but when you have 120 levels to catch up to in a 15+year old game the old way doesnt work for new players and alts for that matter, wrath was probably the best balnce in terms of casualizing the game minus the heroics as they were way to easy to outgear and were just stupid easy from the get go..
@@tylersmall634 I still maintain that it is possible we will get a Burning Crusade server at some point in the future if Classic remains popular long enough.
I don't see them transitioning Classic into BC, but I can imagine them launching an independent server that is 3.3.5 (I think that's the last BC patch) authentic. I also imagine they will allow character copies from Classic to BC, but also with the ability to start at level 1 as well. But it all depends how many hours people are sinking into Classic. For that reason alone I am planning to dedicate one evening a week (maybe 2-3 hours) to Classic. My long-shot hope is to get a Wrath server as well, but that's pretty far off if it's even a possibility.
I'm just excited for the community and actually seeing people running around in the world.
hell yea give me a low 5 on the bulge stat
I see people running around in Legion all the time, although mostly on The Broken Isles
I assume you haven't played Legion.
You haven't play current wow in a while then.
what he means if knowing every person you see, I see people running around in legion but very rarely is it the same people and very rarely do these people gain notorious reputations unless their guild holds a reputation, back in classic the whole community knew certain players like celebritys, even created black lists to shun ninja looters and what not, it was a completely different thing than what you guys are considering the same
Definitely miss the old battlegrounds and pvp the most !
I didn't get to play in classic, but I do really miss the low to mid level pvp fun in BC and early Wrath. Back when gear mattered, and Engineering was awesome before they nerfed it into the ground. Being able to Bubble and rocket boots to safety as a Paladin was OP >:) I like to imagine how dumbfounded they were every time I got away.
Alterac valley !!! AV 40 !!!
BG was definitely a blast when you had hybrid talent characters!
There's no BGs anymore?
If they add cross realm, and LFR anything - it’ll ruin what I remember Classic being. Having to find groups and actually communicate with people made the game feel alive. I really hope this drops soon
Dude your voice is soo calm, perfect for your type of channel. All the best.
Really well said, you brought tears man, so much nostalgia and passion to the game. Really appreciate it.
🙇🏻
I actually really like your narration style. It's slowly paced and relaxing. I could see maybe trying to be be a bit more dynamic with your tone but just be sure not to lose the charm and patience.
It's fine how it is so stop complaining.
How is he complaining? He is saying he likes it.
I could easily sleep while listening to this. It has a good pace and is also relaxing
@@midge753 It's called criticism dude.
@@StephonZeno it's called tact, you fuckrag
Back when the game had substance. I started playing in 2006, just before BC came out. Everything that was said in this video is the absolute truth, and much much more that most people these days wouldn't know/remember. The small skirmishes in The Barrens, lvl 19 and 29 twinks and begging maxed level friends to run me through deadmines and other dungeons over and over to get the gear, random raids against alliance in goldshire, getting camped by high levels and being at their mercy, etc. All annoying but insanely fun aspects that don't happen anymore. When classic WOW comes back, the minute the servers go live I will be there. I am calling out of work, not going to school, grabbing a cup of coffee and admiring the influx of people that will storm the new-old world. I hope to see you all there!
hey wanna play and lvl up?
Man i will 100% be there. Left when BC came out.. it was just too easy. Never thought i will return to WOW. I am very very happy.
Can't wait to experience my childhood again. What an era.
My brother and I started around the same time: with all those cheesy commericals with Mr. T and William Shatner and what not.
We're both very excited to playing Vanilla again as we have so many memories of it. Not to mention there were some things that were lost as the game grew like the video mentions.
Grouping for Hogger, raiding cities or towns (Crossroads was a popular raid for my server on the Alliance side), smaller communities, paying for dungeon runs, professions having more use like enchanting for those twinks you mentioned can net you good money... The world bosses, hell even kiting them into Goldshire!
So many amazing memories man.
I'll be there. Can't wait.
Appreciate the video and the message you spread at the end of the video there Mad. Keep doing what you do, and my the Titans forever walk with you in all your endeavors!
Love your vids man, so calm, infomative and chill. love them.
*Amazing video ! Respect from Russia !*
*We are pleased to watch your videos and wait for the classics with you.*
Love the videos! Been watching for a while and appreciate the Path of Exile OST in these :D
Thanks for watching! And yeah PoE is an amazing game
For sure! PoE has basically taken most of my life, and I think Classic WoW will do the same
Guides for vanilla confirmed? :o
I see a Classic guild full of PoE addicts in the future... ;)
I'd join in a flash!
I'm in! :)..right after I do some maps.
Cross realm destroyed the community aspect. 15 years ago, I made friends that I still talk to today. A few weeks ago, I reinstalled and leveled to 120. The only interaction that I have had with another player was someone telling me that they loved my panda cub pet. It's sad, really.
Great summary. Madseason you do a great job of paying attention to details that players enjoy. I hope to do something similar someday! Need to get that sub life upgraded!
The more i watch videos about classic wow.. the more i realize that i don't have time to do it.. :'(
Levirax you can still play it tho
warmane site has the buring crusade ( which is polished version to vanilla ( i'm very new in the game) but to mine suprise ppl still play it. It is also fun and yeah free
I agree. Doesn’t mean I don’t want to relive it casually. Most of the kids that played vanilla are now fathers and mothers. And kids don’t have patience to let mommy and daddy grind for 8 hours a day. Lmao. That’s for damn sure. Lmao.
i mean it is mostly to play it from hard day of work or to visit good old days but for my own view i don't have any real life friends so i just get sucked by the time xd
ColorBlindBoxing True lol! Mom of 2 boys now
My list would be from what I remember when i played vanilla
10) connecting on a certain level with your character = had to to get to 60 and have a good idea on how to play
9) connecting with others = my family used to play and my father was a healer priest and I was a tank warrior. He healed me forever and leveled up. I had trusted him and him trust me
8) difficulty = warriors couldn't level fast or quickly they had to pull 2 or 3 (tank was 4) and have to stop and eat lol
7) community = hit that on the mark
6) memory = like you had to have someone who knew how to run uldum at the time and it was difficult if taken a wrong turn lol
5) story = how it was a long and grinding way to 60 but, still had an amazing story to involve you
4) excitement = "so, can I take on this elite? Alone? or need a group?" Those questions are what most of use
3) simplicity = how it was level and add a talent point to where ever the talent was needed
2) the involvement = how it felt like that if it wasn't for you making it that far it wouldn't have happened.
1) community = hit that on the nail
Had to sub for that whole thing you did there at the end. You're awesome thank you!
Great video caught me at the end there. I cant wait for it to come out.
"People couldn't usually afford all the skills." Thank God that wasn't just me.
Buy skills and have no food 😭
If you played a healer or hybrid class, god help your gold supply.
1) Hillsbrad foothills
2) Onyxia
3) Making a Vurtne frostmage
4) Perdition’s blade
5) Scholomance
I agree with all of that, I would add:
- Proper dungeon crawls! Dungeons that required some patience, some dedication, a modicum of skill, team work, communication.. Crowd Control! You also had a bit of downtime and could chat, socialize... Doing a full Scholomance run felt like an achievement and you never took it for granted, at least in the earlier days, before it was 'simplified'
Great video! Loved the buildup to your nr. 1 spot!!
"If you made it through 20 minutes of my monotone voice" lmao this got me. I have to agree with you.
Dont know why but I love classic wow intro music.
Gives me chills.
Love your vids! Keep pumping them out my dude!
This was a great video!!! I remember most of the classic elements. I started playing right when BC came out so I've been playing about 13 years. LOVED this video as it brought back a lot of memories. I was in a small guild and we didn't have enough members to do the large raids, but have since popped into them and saw a taste of what they were like and can only imagine doing them with 40+ players. Thanks for this video posting!
I've been playing on light's hope's Classic private server in preparation for WoW Classic and i freaking LOVE IT, so much better than current imo, but the end is true, we're all on the WoW Side in the end of the day, the game has impacted us in one way or another in many different shapes and forms, considering it's been out since 2004 it's bound to change, i just cant wait for the option to play official classic servers again
Just a few more months 🙏
Just started playing on there with my lady. Having an absolute blast!
Vanilla is really nostalgic for me, but all that grinding that was required and how time-consuming everything was I don't really miss... However, the sense of community was a lot better, and I also loved my class quests =)
the irony is that the sense of community comes from the difficulty.
Back then, when I saw another player I was like "wow thank god someone else!" And they likely thought the same thing. Then it was likely they'd at least help you a little and give you a buff. Maybe they'd group with you for a couple of hard quests or a small non-instanced dungeon.
These days, when you see another player, you're like "GET AWAY FROM MY MOBS! THOSE ARE MY XP AND ASSORTED DROPPED ITEMS!"
@@Nerobyrne I totally agree there xD it's a hard balance to find I think. The community is what keeps me playing mmo's, but I have neither the time nor the patience required for old school mmo's anymore =)
@@Nerobyrne Um, thats a Vanilla mechanic referred to as tagging.
Now, you can share kills and loot. Its been an odd adjustment, actually. I find I still have the urge to tag the mob first so it doesn't go gray then am reminded that it won't.
+Byron McCuan
yeah but then you have to run after that person so they don't kill the enemies before you get there. Also it doesn't always work, not sure why.
But the point is even with the new system you don't really gain anything from another person being there because the enemies really aren't that challenging. They don't die instantly anymore, but it's still not really dangerous outside of dungeons.
In vanilla there was a good chance you'd group with random strangers, both to avoid kill stealing but also because it makes questing a LOT faster.
I've been playing since the old days of vanilla and I have to say.. man.. you made me feel EXTREMELY nostalgic for the old days!! I sat here with a big goofy smile on my face just listening to what you were saying.. thinking to myself "Hell yes, I remember that!" or "Damn, he's so right!" EXCELLENT video! Seriously, this was a joy to watch. It's nice to hear from someone that feels the same way I do about the old days and the game in general. Well done!
I just love what you said about rank 1. Its for me truely the essence of the game! Thanks for the Video! Can't wait!
Back when you felt you were actually in another world, having to work for everything. The real world of warcraft.
haven't played WOW in 7 years :)
This is just nostalgia goggles. The game is much better now. No need to hit a level 1 mob for 6 minutes without being able to move while attacking.
played on nostalrius for several months before they closed it, interesting that those goggles i enjoyed so much, if it wasnt unofficial and i wasnt afraid of losing all progress id be making all classes and thoroughly enjoy the game how it was back then
Currently on a classic server. It's really true about normal mob difficulty, as an enhancement shaman casting rockbiter weapon (only lasts 5min) costs a quarter of my mana and if I forget about it before entering combat I won't have enough mana to hold up in the fight same for lightning shield. If another mob comes across i'm screwed. Just two ordinary wolves are enough to end my poor orcs life.
Anduin theme at the end...made it all so nicely wrapped up!
Playing both, but Horde is my love.
Now that I'm looking for them, I'm loving finding all your humor tossed in so nonchalantly.
You know when vanilla was out I was 14. Our english was pretty bad yet we managed to rach the level cap. However It took us months ...but that feeling man... we had a bottle of sparkling vine in the fridge and the moment we reached that lvl 60 cap the party was on. Now these days I prefer the current content because its faster and easier. Great vid btw. Peace from hungary
"We'll you get my point? " What was that ? Anyways, Good for you bud ! Take Care !
Jonas Benjamin Skov If your point was “Hey, look how much of an asshole grammar nazi I can be to this total stranger”, then yeah we get your point.
Jesus man, the guy was just saying how much he enjoyed the game
I am hungry now. Anyone for waffles?
Anyways, OP's English is good enough to drive the point across.
No offence but, I think age has a Big Part to play here!
I was in my early 30s when I started playing Vanilla WOW (And I'll be 50 in a few years time!!!)
So I guess older players like me, have probably been the real driving force behind this 'classic revolution'.
Younger players who are now older, with jobs and other responsibilities, would (I guess?) prefer the current 'arcade style' version of this game...
But the things is... Older players had these same kind of responsibilities (and more!) when we started playing so... What gives?
Anyway, I'm pretty sure there's a 'generational' thing going on here...
@@sdwone I played classic when I was 8 lol. Im 21 now, I prefer classic over the new stuff. Granted I stopped playing at around 11 a bit after BC came out. I did come back for a bit after MOP but the game was pretty much a complete stranger at that point.
Your videos are great!
I got so emotional.
Your voice is great! not monotone at all...
Makes me relax and chill with every video.
Thank you for your content.
I love your videos man! Ive been watching them since a year now and they never get old! I even rewatch some vids that Id seen before. Keep up the great, great, great work.
This was incredible, subbed and can't wait for Monday.
wow man you know your stuff. I feel like you say everything i would say. Good to know other people out there remember the old game and know their shit about game play, design and what was good and bad.
thanks for a great video.
i am looking forward most to the leveling and better progression system. i also like the rock,paper scissors of pvp and more randomness of pvp in general.
the thing i miss is not being able to wear plate as a warrior till like lvl 40 i think . it felt like such a power gain. ( if im remembering right )
yep and 40 for mail as hunter or shaman
RandomFlicks6 That was only removed in Legion though.
Yeah I distinctly remember going from mail to plate on my undead warrior back in Cata
Nice vid man... the feels at the end were real. /salute
The nostalgia and feels were strong man. I loved seeing old Dun Morogh and remembering my own community interactions back then. Can't wait for Classic, great video!
I love WoW so much that i didn't even realize the video was this long until you said something.
That ending made me smile :))
I smiled during the whole video
same lets take that JOURNEY AGAIN :D
that ending was real with what you said and with the music. You got a gift sir.
What a fantastic video, lists so many (maybe all) important points big LIKE!
Cant wait to start leveling again.
[Guild] Zanza: Ding!!!
Grats
When professions actually were usefull :D
Yes man. I remember utilizing engineering for PvP pppppppppwnage.
And when mages made gold off there portals lol now that never happens
Moba Gaming you must not do professions, alchemy is useful in BFA, like a lot
Anthonyontv: why is alch useful in BFA? i'm actually curious cuz i don't know, not trying to be a fucktard.
menjavlafitta healing/mana restoring/ increase a primary stat by 500 for 1 hour/ turn invisible like rogues/ be able to float off a cliff or over water/ increase primary stats even more but for a shorter time (30 secs), those are just a couple of things off the top of my head that help so much in raids/dungeons/bgs/wpvp/questing
Yes! Community's my #1 too! There were people on your server that were well known for a thing: best tank, good raid leader, reliable CC, max blacksmith, good raiding guild (w/funny name), etc. I really love knowing people on your server.
Great video! It's clear that a lot of thought went into each of the points, and I think that they reflect how most people feel about retail and vanilla WoW.
Dude getting a legendary is no big deal nowadays. How is that not fucked. Also excited for no transmog. Finally I can be excited for new pieces of gear again
you just need to think different. nowdays legies is old times epics. old rares is replaced by epics. its just a rarity tier dump,
Alright, what are the "old" legendaries then?
I especially loved the dude on the vindicaar who was like "yo wassup man, lemme hook you up. I got ALL the legendaries!"
Like he just walks around with an entire bag full of legendary items and sells them to people like hot dogs.
Meanwhile in classic, only a few people actually had a legendary item on each server, let alone multiple.
Lurkens Kanal what legendaries lol there is none
Ngl transmog is my favorite thing about retail and I'll miss it a lot. I like making my character look good and most tier sets look dumb, although luckily most vanilla tier sets don't look as bad as modern ones.
I just feel old now
same, I played from middle school to early HS...now im about to graduate University.
Very well thought out and explained. I'm very much looking forward to recapturing the sense of adventure, challenge, and comradery that vanilla WoW offered.
Thanks for appreciating my love for the game. I quite YEARS ago but I still watch your content because it's just that good.
I think what I love about vanilla can be summarised by one simple principle: Character/world building. The world had a sense of mystery back then that has been lost since Cataclysm. In fact, I’d argue it had started to fade already in Wrath, though it pains me to admit it.
Gormathius Nightstrider tru
There’s no sense of mystery for me anymore since I farmed all the old content for xmogs lol. I played vanilla and hit level cap but it was only weeks prior to the BC release so I never got to experience the glory I bestowed upon those I seen walking around with the professor plums. I remember being so proud of my damn fiery enchant I could finally afford to purchase from an enchanter. Lol. Even though I’ve farmed countless amounts of vanilla epics at this point I guarantee you that first “earned” epic piece of vanilla gear would send chills down my spine. My first epics were in WotLK and by that point they weren’t “epic” anymore. They were just purple.
Top 10 in the title?
Guess who's going viral! :D
Loved every second of your video! Brings back so many memories. I agree 100% with your top 10 list as well - especially #1. Been playing WoW since 2004 (or 2005) - can't remember exactly. Best gaming experience I ever had. Promised myself I was done for good with the game once I quit - especially now as a father of 2. Yet - I have an itch to get back to it in Classic and enjoy the adventures all over again. Hope I won't be disappointed.
Fantastic video! Got my nostalgia all fired up!
Once again i will lock my self in my room and play wow for 24 hours straight. But, i fear i may not ever leave my room this time.
hahaha dude i wish i could do that too... but times changes and i have a job :D god what would i give to do this all again!
I look forward to WoW being more RPG again. It was my first MMO and I found it so much more interesting to level and such with other random people around doing the same things. I found the game overall more engaging and rewarding. I am looking forward to playing a more rewarding WoW once again, and actually having some concern for what I am doing beyond "getting to end game".
I always watch your videos on my 2nd monitor when I am playing wow, like just now I am doing dailys and watching these. When I am having a hard time falling a sleep I will watch some of your longer videos, fe. history of world of warcraft. Soothing music and monotone voice, stories of my favorite game just puts me gently in to sleep. Thank you for making these videos !
Dat moment when you see the world you played in during your childhood and that shaped you being called "The old World"..... mah heart, mah soul
Roll a mage if you want to be rich, sell portals for 54 silver or up to one gold, you can spam trade for it, then taxi people around. Roll a lock if you want to be the most op class in the game.
MCES LEX yes!! And the locks fucking demon dog thing that silenced 😂
I never played a lock. I want to. And yes on the portals. Sometimes I would teleport to darnassus just to help low level elves avoid the death run
Or become an enchanter and sell the level 5-8 wands to people asap xD
Ah Happy Dayz!!!
Being a mage in Vanilla was FUN :-))))
Yep, that bought my first mount and not to mention saved a fortune on food.
Man, I never played WoW and I'm not looking forward to play WoW but I love your content. I love how you present the things from a fastinating game and how you talk it's so calm and fits so good with the music that there is now way to not love it. I love your channel.
Thanks for the kind words. Even if it's just through my videos, I'm glad you can say you've experienced the game in some way at least!
You should really try it. It’s magical.
heresy
Nice to see plays from Vurtne. Remember playing world pvp with him back in the day when I was on Sylvanas 👊
Thank you. I agree 100% and you pointed out some things I forgot. I cant wait to play it again
The Bob Ross of TH-cam videos strikes again!
But...Mad...you didn't say "peace" at the end!
But will Classic have the Barren chat?
George Wirth definitely.
It's a inheritance, when you first enter the barrens, you are instantly infected with the curse of the chat and there is no cure and it's only a matter of time, before the parasite once more flows through the keyboard and into the chat.
Chuck Norris asked the same question and the server went down.
@@rick_inflorida :) chuck norris jokes. Its the perfect time now the toyota is trying to bring them back.
Absolutely. The Barrens chat was the way it was because players spent a large amount of time there leveling (10-25ish, which could take a week or more depending how much you play). On top of that, its easily the best 10-20 horde zone to level in, just drowning in quests, plus access to 2 dungeons (RFC and WC). It gets boring and lonely, so you turn to the general chat. Barrens chat got taken away once Cataclysm came out and you could clear the zone in a couple of hours.
Even though I’m not playing WoW anymore, I had this awesome feeling of nostalgia when watching your video - thank you! It made my evening :D
What a good video man, well done !
