I wonder if these people would have been noticed in modern versions of WoW vs starting in the early versions. Classic and the first couple expansions, tended to pull people together, but over time as the game evolved, there was a lot less sustaining, personal connections happening. There was always people, but not as many memorable ones. That and the rise of social media and waves on top of waves of streamers. Seems that any legends out there, most get buried in the noise. I guess few have that much attention span anymore. At least Madseason managed to rise out of the obscurity. It has been a rarity in the past decade, and I am grateful of that.
@@madseasonshow He was worshipped by so many prot paladins that he attained divine status, and Blizz even took note and buffed pallys to be actual aoe tanks in BC+
As someone who decided to finally grow the courage to pick up the sword and shield as Prot Warrior at the end of Wrath onwards, absolutely this! Never looked back since.
@TTMS-Khaz-kun you definitely picked a good time to play a protection Warrior. Although they were the only capable tank in raids, they had very low damage output and it was a process to establish and build threat. Abilities such as Revenge and Shield Slam were your two hardest hitting abilities but talents such as Sword and Board did not exist yet. Going into TBC it was more of the same with the addition of Spell Reflection and Commanding Shout, but Paladins and Druids quickly became worthy of the tank role in raids with their own specific uses. In Wrath the roles were more or less homogenous with each class having their ups and downs. In the end, Warriors were basically one of the most fun tanks to play in Wrath with their excellent mobility, varied toolkit and high health pools
20 years... my big brother taught me wow back in 2004. He passed away last year. We had so much fun together. It was more then a game for us. This video made me remember him alot today. Rest in peace Darren, Joana, and Reckful. They all made the world a better place in their own way through world of warcraft to us. And thanks for coming back Madseason, stick around you help us.
I used Joanas guides to level my own Hunter back in Vanilla. It was a whole new way of looking at the game for me, and it was thanks to those guides I was able to cap. RIP Joana, thanks for everything.
I still can't get over just how much that OG Stormwind music can bring back such a flood of memories. I'm instantly transported back to 2004 with the same level of awe I had almost 20 years ago. Man, what a time.
Man this episode had me in my FEELS, what a return. Hobbs is so nostalgic for me, watching his SM runs as a kid and just being in awe at the huge pulls.
Holy shit, RIP Joana. I remember watching him when his stream name was FuriousPaul and grinding away at the Super Castlevania 4 WR speedrun, he held it for a long time. I tuned in when he started streaming WoW stuff too, he was a big Blizzard fan. He was making Overwatch content for a while after it came out. I had no idea he had passed. 10 years passed in a flash. RIP.
I remember watching " The Hobbs way of pulling" video and waiting months to get that helm. I was 13yo when that video came out and WoW was life. Thank you for another amazing video Mad Season
Even in my mid-20s he was blowing ideas I'd held out. Hobbs was awesome. I was a hardcore raider in BC but you didn't have to be hardcore to understand Hobbs and that was why he was awesome
These are the videos that I will show to my son if he asks what was world of warcraft, which I have already told you so much about. These videos are special because they don't just tell a story, they also create emotions. Thank you for your work!
Joana was always my favorite player. Had his OG horde guide back in the day and made my female troll hunter after him. Sad to see him go and rip to Reckful as well. May their souls be at peace 🕊️
Tiny violin did NOT start his journey during the hard-core challenge. He started it on earthfury as horde player with 12 accounts that would camp various locations around the world and dispel world buffs. At that time, he also claimed it was because of a “corrupt guild that cheated him”. He makes up the reasons as he goes, but his ultimately because he’s a sociopath and he thinks he’s a badass villain.
@@KaLNFoRc3R You seem to be very bitter. You should seek help in order to overcome your sadness. Now obviously I know I'm on the internet and I actually don't give a single f*ck about people like you, who are unable to realize how they are destroying themselves. Cheers mate, have fun sinking ever deeper into your own negativity.
Sociopath was my impressions of him entirely. I played with tiny on a private server before SoM when we transferred. He had a big chip on his shoulder and if any player made a smallest slight, he would berate them in public. Some other players tried standing up to him but they either gquit or left the game.
I never watched Reckful and only got to know him after he died, but his death struck me even though I did not watch him or have any connection to him. Everytime I see him or hear of him I get sad. Thank you for respecting him and giving him a place in your video. Times are hard and I hope everyone is doing good and if not I hope you get well soon. Videos like these make me appreciate this game with all the people and stories behind it. RIP Reckful.
Your comment warms my heart. I was a regular viewer of his stream during Mist of Pandaria. I would work night shift alone in a big store, then got home to every one sleeping and a plate to microwave. It felt lonely most of the time but Reckful streams was on. Kind of had that para-social thing going on. Dare I say, I think I made it through depression because of him. Makes me feel sad that now, my life is all happy and good.. Like I owe him one... but he didn't make it.
To a lot of us the cata and mop streams were so far ahead of their time, dude literally created the donation meta instead of running ads. I was lucky enough to play reckful and his team a few times in 5s in S10, we won the first 2 games and then they ran double healer and farmed us for the rest of the games. Honored I got to share a few games with the goat. Twitch was great in those earlier daysz going on it now just feels like a lifeless corporate husk with people only in it for the money and sponsorships
I recently learned about Joana's passing and I always felt a connection due to originally playing the same race/class combo and also a lot of admiration from using Joana's leveling guides many, many years ago. Rest in peace, Joana and Reckful. The memories of them we all have will live on in us, as cheesy as that might sound.
Great as always! If you are making more episodes of this, i would recommend looking into "Ibelin" who was a Norwegian WoW-player who passed away a while ago. There was recently a beautiful documentary made about his journey and it's a really heartwarming story. Blizzard also added his gravestone to Elwynn Forest not too long ago.
Such legendary content. Please never stop making these. I didn’t grow up and play wow, but you make it feel like I was there every step of the way. Beautiful
I always loved how much Reckful made fun of having to say "the right thing" and being forbidden by society to say what he really thinks and feels. He had a way of just saying what he wanted anyways and then immediately going back on it with a huge child like smile. He always made me laugh, I miss him.
I hope that you know, which I'm sure you might because of all the people telling you so, that you will be on of the same players you talk about. You don't know me and we will probably never speak, but your videos have been there for me in some of my worst times. Sitting down and re-living the nostalgia from this game, seeing you cover old content and just getting the privilege to be warped back in time and get those feelings from back in the day are great, and you provide that. I don't and never really had anyone to play the game with but I still remember all the fun times I had over the years with people that did meet and play with for however brief that was. Thanks man!
Awesome entry to the series MadSeason! Honestly, I'm so glad you mentioned Reckful, it's a true honor. He truly was a great player not only in wow , but in hearthstone as well.
My man, that Banjo Kazooie track just unlocked so much nostalgia in itself. Another amazing video man. Glad you have been back and hope you have been enjoying Warcraft again. I recently came back after having quit for a while after finally getting to 60 on HC. Since then, I’m now residing on classic era servers. People are chill there and pugs always going off. Nice little dedicated community over there and growing with cata on the horizon with many players coming back. Cheers Edit: Didn’t get to towards the end when I made this comment. No clue we lost Joannaguides. RIP. Absolutely loved following his strats and progress in seeing the guides improve. Buddy in high school bought it and literally printed them out for our crew to use. 👍
Driving back from Mother’s Day weekend, about an hour into the drive I got the notification that this dropped, thank you for making the drive so much better for 23 minutes. Thank you for bringing nostalgia in every single video you do 💕✂️
I know you made a video about this, but I did want to say how happy I am to see you going back to this informational videos, instead of opinion pieces on what's wrong with the game. i get the need to put your opinion out there, but these sorts of videos are just so much more wholesome, which is what drew me to you way back in the day in the first place.
Tears in eyes - I didn't know that Joana had passed recently. Heartbreaking. RIP to him and Reckful. Thank you for an amazing video (as always) Mad. I recently re-watched all your famous/infamous series so this one came at a great time!
I haven't watched in a bit, but dear god the content you create is so comforting and nostalgic. You're so well spoken and I appreciate the work you put into what you share.
This brings back so many memories. I remember watching WoW Hobbs all the time, and my brother and I have stacks of papers of printed off pages from Joana's leveling guides.
What a journey it has been for the last years. Your voice has changed a lot. The videos have gotten a lot more emotional resonance. Thank you for giving us these moments. For the next video in this series I would recommend Athene
I took part in one of the many mournings of Reckful in 2020. I only knew him via other content creators but I have yet to hear a single negative experience with the guy. When I saw the pictures and remembered the feelings I started to tear up again. Many people this days have forgotten or never experienced the close feeling a community might have over the simple fact that they're playing the same game or even that they're all mortal humans. Take care everyone. For all of us, this game called real life is a hardcore one.
Damn dude. Great video. You just made me realize what separates the best youtubers from the average: that extra level of context and nuance. You totally nailed it. Instead of just explaining what happened, stuff I already even knew, you reminded me why all those people, the culture of WoW, and the game itself mattered so much to me at times in my life. I had forgotten that. Thanks.
Had goosebumps at the beginning of the video when I heard the first note of that epic intro. I had tears in my eyes once again at the end of the video. And I hope at some point I'll stumble across a video about the WoW legend @madseasonshow, because then I'll have both goosebumps and tears in my eyes. Thanks for your content, thanks for you honesty, thanks for you beeing just a awsesome youtuber.
Lets hope Madseason makes the list on episode 6. Lots of nostalgia on this one. Used Joanas guides alot and i remember printing them off at work because my potato PC could not handle the game and a web page. Those first years of Reckful twitch provided alot of laughs for me. RIP to both.
I've played since 2008. I don't do much, just questing and a few dungeons. One day I was in Stormwind and the chat was all about Reckful and how much he meant to the community. He had died and there was an open memorial gathering to him in the Cathedral. I'm on Argent Dawn US. While I didn't know him, I could totally understand the pain of anxiety and depression, I have it myself. Mine's situational, from pain levels due to chronic illness, but it's still hard at times. The game has been my lifeline for a long time. So, I slipped into the Stormwind Cathedral on my main, a little female gnome mage, and knelt in tribute for the man gone way too soon. I'm glad he's got an MPC there, it's a fitting tribute. I hadn't heard of the rest of the folks on the list, but I enjoy this series. RIP Reckful and Joana.
YES! Finally broooo! Big love and thanks for coming back. Missed the sexy monotone man of WoW vids. Keep up the good work. Big love from Australia (yes we played WoW in 2004, we're the "Oceanic" tab on you server choice).
I remember just starting to watch Rekful every sunday, a few weeks before it happened. I always thought he was missing goals in his life, he once said he wished to be broke again, just so he could be on the grind.
Ive seen all parts of this series but this is the big one, you finally included Reckful. Byron was the one who got me into PVP, after running around doing dungs and quests like a useless fuck for almost 2 years. Sadly he didnt see himself like the rest of us did, but his "funeral" in stormwind was one of my most memorable moments in WoW. RIP Legend, you are deeply missed!
I remember when you first started. I thought you were a low effort hirumaredx ripoff, now you’re one of the few mouthpieces of the gaming content world I respect enough to listen to. Thanks man for letting me grow with you. Still miss Reckful every day honestly
There was this undead female rogue on Kirin Tor named South shore that was terrible… oh wait, that was me😂 On a serious note, on the Icecrown server I was in WHU and pappy Frostheim was and still is a legend-blessings from Brewnhilder a dues paying female dwarf hunter and proud member of the Warcraft Hunters Union.
another fantastic video, thanks for continuing to post them. I really enjoy what you do and it helps me more than you know just to relax and have some fun!

Take care everyone. For all of us, this game called real life is a hardcore one.
Love you madseason!
your videos instantly make me remember why I loved world of warcraft so much and fill me with nostalgia
Damn dude. Great video. You just made me realize what separates the best youtubers from the average: that extra level of context and nuance. You totally nailed it. Instead of just explaining what happened, stuff I already even knew, you reminded me why all those people, the culture of WoW, and the game itself mattered so much to me at times in my life. I had forgotten that. Thanks.
Had goosebumps at the beginning of the video when I heard the first note of that epic intro.
I had tears in my eyes once again at the end of the video.
And I hope at some point I'll stumble across a video about the WoW legend @madseasonshow, because then I'll have both goosebumps and tears in my eyes.
Thanks for your content, thanks for you honesty, thanks for you beeing just a awsesome youtuber.
I feel really good watching this vid in 2024. Thank you for returning to old series. Love it!
Lets hope Madseason makes the list on episode 6. Lots of nostalgia on this one. Used Joanas guides alot and i remember printing them off at work because my potato PC could not handle the game and a web page. Those first years of Reckful twitch provided alot of laughs for me. RIP to both.
The Reckful part got me. Your abilities as a videographer are excellent.
Dude, this was a really wholesome (but somber as well) video for the most part. Please do more like this
Awesome video man. Eloquent and impactful. Thank you!
I've played since 2008. I don't do much, just questing and a few dungeons. One day I was in Stormwind and the chat was all about Reckful and how much he meant to the community. He had died and there was an open memorial gathering to him in the Cathedral. I'm on Argent Dawn US. While I didn't know him, I could totally understand the pain of anxiety and depression, I have it myself. Mine's situational, from pain levels due to chronic illness, but it's still hard at times. The game has been my lifeline for a long time. So, I slipped into the Stormwind Cathedral on my main, a little female gnome mage, and knelt in tribute for the man gone way too soon. I'm glad he's got an MPC there, it's a fitting tribute. I hadn't heard of the rest of the folks on the list, but I enjoy this series.
RIP Reckful and Joana.
Really well done video regarding those that departed us. I really like that you show important figures in this one.
What a nostalgia trip this video was. Thank you for making this Mad Season!
YES! Finally broooo! Big love and thanks for coming back. Missed the sexy monotone man of WoW vids. Keep up the good work. Big love from Australia (yes we played WoW in 2004, we're the "Oceanic" tab on you server choice).
I remember just starting to watch Rekful every sunday, a few weeks before it happened. I always thought he was missing goals in his life, he once said he wished to be broke again, just so he could be on the grind.
Ive seen all parts of this series but this is the big one, you finally included Reckful. Byron was the one who got me into PVP, after running around doing dungs and quests like a useless fuck for almost 2 years. Sadly he didnt see himself like the rest of us did, but his "funeral" in stormwind was one of my most memorable moments in WoW. RIP Legend, you are deeply missed!
alot of childhood memories for me personally in this video. specially with reckful!. this took me down memorylane!. thanks for the trip back in time!
I remember when you first started. I thought you were a low effort hirumaredx ripoff, now you’re one of the few mouthpieces of the gaming content world I respect enough to listen to. Thanks man for letting me grow with you. Still miss Reckful every day honestly
15:00 Rest easy Paul. Joana's Guides will forever be a core memory for so many people that they'll carry.
FF3 town music as a throwback to Hobbs is so fitting
There was this undead female rogue on Kirin Tor named South shore that was terrible… oh wait, that was me😂
On a serious note, on the Icecrown server I was in WHU and pappy Frostheim was and still is a legend-blessings from Brewnhilder a dues paying female dwarf hunter and proud member of the Warcraft Hunters Union.
another fantastic video, thanks for continuing to post them. I really enjoy what you do and it helps me more than you know just to relax and have some fun!
