as dreading as the zone was, especially Moonbrook, the music makes me feel home in this zone. never skip it on alts these days for sheer nostalgia even though it has changed a lot
I have very fond memories about Westfall, leveling there when Wotlk came out with my best friend. He passed away one year ago, to this day i remeber the image of his Dwarf wandering through the sunny fields of Westfall.
Its 2024, im 34. I have 2 children, a decent job and a pretty great life. I play this video/music and im INSTANTLY transported to 2005/06. Begging my parents to pay for the monthly sub, doing chores to pay for it. Being allowed a 2 hours of PC time after school. Logging on, having absolutely NO idea what i was doing, getting my 11th character into the teens as i was awful at sticking to one char. People say, its "just a game". But it really isnt. World of Warcraft played such an integral part of my life in my teens and into adulthood. So many fond memories and hundreds of people met along the way. 2005-2009 was a REALLY special time to play these games. Gaming still had an air of innocence surrounding it. And it was my genuine pleasure to be a part of this game and community. Thank you for transporting me back to my youth with a giant smile on my face. Trickydeath - Realm: Burning Legion & Dreanor
I used to play a lot of World of Warcraft back in the day. I did it as means to cope with the stress in my life. At that point, WOW was a better world than the one I was living in. I don't play video games any more, but this sound track made the hair on my hands stand up. I am currently working on a personal project that is supposed to save my life. As I do so, I like to listen to the sounds that once releaved my pain. It creates comfort and also makes me feel like I am walking on grounds that I already explored. With this sound track in the background I feel secure enough to plunge into the unknown. God bless you, fellow gamer!
It's incredibly sad to me how people like RKS88 try to act strong and tough, while laughing down on someone's own personal problems and his attempts to act authentic and honest with himself and being open with it. Humans have already evolved from survival from the fittest centuries ago and even in western society, which happened to be more comfortable than it was ever for us, we have to cope with much more complex issues than we had to in the past, due to technological and social changes. Even if all of our physical needs are met, we still have plenty of equally important psychological needs, that are somewhat harder to cope with, when are not met. And certainly we don't have to pretend that everything is okay and try to be intimidating and tough at all costs. We can honestly tell that we are not FEELING actually all right and we need help and there is nothing wrong about that. We have been blessed with a place of living in particularly fortunate place, but still there is nothing to be ashamed of if we feel bad with all of that.
Being 11 years old, scared of the Harvesters, Bandits and Gizzards is so nostalgic, I used to play this on my family desktop with a blanket over me and the monitor so I could see playing in our sunny conservatory. Westfall is my most memorable area. I will likely play Classic Wow over and over throughout my life because of that feeling. Respect to the old wow devs.
I'll never forget my first time in Dead Mines. I was just a little prot-warrior, back when prot-warrior was definitely NOT cool for leveling. My priest friend Solace (holy priest, who refused to even TRAIN any shadow spells - was awesome), and our Balance druid friend... Rosalie - she ran around in cat form and never cast a single spell. It was pretty bad. Anyhow, I'll never forget our 3 hour clear of the dungeon. We got out at about 4 in the morning as the sun was rising in game and in real life. Nothing like coming out that mine cave and seeing the sunlight, hearing this music, and knowing you did good work - questioning the house of nobles and the validity of the defias engine. Maybe they didn't kill Tiffin. Maybe it was all Prestor and her plots. Maybe Grand Master Van Cleef truly just was pushed so far he couldn't turn back and had to keep his obligations to his brethren. Maybe he was just trying to part upon the Square. Good memories.
That's the definition of nostalgia. A reminder of a home you can't return to, even though you have a home. It's sometimes more pain than comfort, sometimes more comfort than pain.
We used to spend our teenage days in wow. Playing the game for hours and doing quests, chatting, mining, skinning, while these songs were playing. The experiences and feelings got ingrained in our neuron connections. Now after many years listening to these songs those same neuron connections fire up. And just faintly we can feel the same feeling as if a ghost of the past. That's what we feel. Bittersweet memories of days gone. This is as close as we will get to the past...
Human line in Elwyn-Westfall-Redridge-Duskwood is the best chain in WoW. Long story about Defias Brotherhood, investigation about treason in Stormwind, quests like Ambalmer, Sven's Revenge, Legend of Stalvan, quests in SI: 7. Thanks for work, Blizzard.
@@raumo123 fun fact, it turns out, whole Duskwood is bad, all of the villagers from darkshire are worgens, that are planning bad things to do, you see it during one of the artifatct quests for rouge
Не согласен, bloof elf line is way way better in terms of lore, visuals, atmosphere. Its more enchanting, mystic. Human line takes second place after bloodelf.
I remember playing the WoW beta back in 2004. Back then leveling was extremely slow. It took over a day to reach level 10. Once I finally hit level 10, I made my way to Westfall. It was amazing, so massive. Walking along the beaches... just wow. A week later, I managed to be level 18. Myself and the few people I met along the way, decided to head into the Deadmines and see what that is. Most people playing, including myself and my group, had no idea or even an understanding concept of what an Instance even was. It took us over 6 hours and multiple wipes until we managed to kill Edwin VanCleefs inside of the Deadmines. I will never forget that feeling of how massive and beautiful a video game can be.
@@Badkhela I started right at the end of 2006, about two weeks before Burning Crusades and I still remember a band of high level horde coming through elwynn forest tearing everyone up. I'd never seen pvp like that before and got me hooked! Took forever to grind up levels (not nearly as long as was said in the beta of course though) but it made it so worth it when you finally hit level cap. Then world pvp was basically killed off and the feeling was lost :(
I was introduced to WOW in 2005..3 months after its release. Never played anything like it before. I was pulled right in. And that was only teaching my son the basics. It lured me in. Grinding back then. So easy now.
used to play with the windows open and a brisk breeze bringing the autumn smells of fallen leaves. then my dad getting mad because it was sucking all the heat out of the house.
I remember the almost eternal sunset and breeze in Westfall. It is the first place that attracted me when I first came to WOW. A Warlock, level 20, riding his Felsteed, ran around the field and wilderness in a daze, collecting every coin and gray equipment. Memories are always so nice.
Saddest thing for me is at 50 years old, the best adventure I've ever had in my life was inside WoW during the first month or so after vanilla went public back in 2004. Real life pales in comparison. I see they've changed the music now but the core song is still there. Very nice thanks for posting it.
@@ClericOfPholtus It was like living in a bubble, days were never ending, never concerned about what life was sending. Fantasy was real and now we know much about the way we feel, I wish i could paint you a picture cus i dont think its the same round here no more, they took away the key to the door, now we only get what they will settle for.
dude that is not sad. I was there, too. I have an amazing life now and loved almost every part of it. Still the first 2 months in vanilla were ... nothing comes even close.
This was put up on my birthday 4 years ago. Listened to it probably 500 times throughout medical school to help focus. still listen afterward. Thank you for the best video and music ever!
This song reminds me of my childhood, like many others here. But also, it helped me gain a positive memory from the beginning of the pandemic - my aspiration has always been to be a mathematician one day, sitting in my office thinking of solutions to problems. Coming up with theorems. When the pandemic started, my job paid me to stay home (a job that couldn't be work from home - just got paid not to be at work). Just so happened that this was also my senior year of college, and I had to write a pretty intensely long explanation of an already solved math problem. I listened to this soundtrack on loop during that period of my life. I'd wake up, turn this on, hit the loop button, and work on my math paper for 8-10 hours. And for a couple of months, I lived the life I always wanted to live. This soundtrack reminds me of that time. I wish I could go back for a day. Thanks Everness for making these videos.
Great times. Great memories. It really felt like an adventure back in 2004-2005. I suppose it was partly my youth, me being fairly new to online games, MMOs being quite young, and the less on rails game play and more social nature of MMOs back then. It just seems there's really nothing new to discover with MMOs as they stand. Part of that is just me being jaded from spending too much time with them, I guess. But it does seem that they've gotten dumber and duller while we've grown older and more complex. Oh well. Everything has its time, and I enjoyed the days I spent with Warcraft. Nothing lasts forever, nor should it. Cheers.
I couldn't agree with you more. Blizz is pandering to little kids now, so the gameplay has suffered for us veterans. I had to quit as a result of it getting dumber and duller, as you put it.
I definitely think it's more of the former, in regards to Xaelvik's original post. I started playing back in 2007, when I was 14. Everything was new and amazing and immersive, etc. etc. to infinity... Nothing gives the feeling that WoW used to give me, not because games have become worse, but because I've become jaded.
I can relate to the jaded part, but I keep searching for better MMOs, and currently I'm very happy with the one I'm playing. But, for kicks I like to turn off its music, play WOW's music, and imagine that I'm playing a state of the art WOW game. I know Blizzard will never update WOW to be anything other than it is, so this is the best I can do. And you know it works for me. I have the WOW nostalgia from the music, and state of the art MMO gameplay. Win, Win.
I have restarted with BfA and they really changed it. Now monsters level up with you. It mean that no quest are outdated untill you reach the extension barrier. The worse about questing before was having to move quest zone once every 5 level OR to chain dungeon. But now you can go back to the zone and spend as much time you want to complete the quests. Yet, this is still weird to fight level 60 kobold in elwyn forest (if you're 60 or above)
As a dude who played WoW for the first time in 2018 (the Vanilla version on a private server) I have to say that this is not just nostalgia for you guys. This truly is one amazing score that fits perfectly to the setting of Westfall. I had a blast leveling my first character there and meeting a bunch of cool people.
austinha11 That's a good position to have. I have trouble choosing, but I think I get goosebumps the most from this one the most, so I should probably pick it. :)
@@Ren3gade it's not the same. the memories, feelings and nostalgia are already made. classic is just trying to cash in on that. our memories are already made, my friend. the time for wow has passed, gone...but NEVER forgotten
I remember playing my first gnome rogue and meeting this level 26 priest who was helping me quest. He told me about this giant blue bird that appears sometimes and it drops a dagger that would be very useful for me. So I spent an hour looking around for this giant blue bird. We never found it but I remember having an awesome time goofin around.
Oh yea! I remember stumbling on that bird one time as a level 60 Druid in westfall (my favourite zone visually and musically, so I used to hang around there), so killed it and got that dagger. It’s probably still on my Druid in the bank if Blizzard haven’t deleted him yet. Not logged into WoW for about 10 years now
Frank Ocean it’s gonna be as close as it can get to the original thing, and based on what blizz is updating us about classic, they r listening to the community’s opinions well to make classic feel like the old game. Give it a chance, u might not regret it :)
@Batman Live in the moment. Trying to bring back the past will only create a world of hurt.. I would give anything to be 13 again and experiencing going through the Dark Portal for the first time with my friends or hanging out in Westfall, Dun Morogh etc, meeting random people and just talk about our lives and plans for the future. But we are older now. That excitement ans the bond between players will not be the same. The world is so well connected now, chatting with random people online is part of daily life and multiplayer games like Fortnite and platforms like TH-cam have changed the culture as to how we interact with strangers online. They may bring the game back, but they can't recreate the structural context which made it possible to know people on a personal level on such a large scale as back in 2007. At least I don't think so. Create good memories with what you have today, time flies too fast to be looking back. The thing that made WoW great for me was that I lived in the moment. I should strive to live in this moment as well and create new memories I can smile back at.
This hit the spot. Takes me back to 2006 when I was exploring the World of Warcraft, it truly felt like another world, not a game. Every quest was important. Every fight to help the struggling people of Westfall mattered. Every knoll or bandit lurking the hills was a real danger. To even capture a fraction of that feeling with Classic was awesome.
Imagining experiencing that feeling once again..I would pay fortunes. The beginning of everything today gamers think its scientifically possible to create, but at the time nobody had a fucking clue that is true and what have they accomplished. 2004!!!!!
It’s crazy what a game can do to your psyche. And the crazy part about it all is I dream of Azeroth on the daily. It’s literally ingrained into my soul. What great memories this game has brought to me growing up as a teen.
Every single time I listen to your songs I feel the feeling. The feeling to be free and relieved. World of Warcraft has given me an childhood memory that is untouchable. When I thinking about this time I'm crying but I'm also happy I had this time in my life.
I played Westfall primarily in WotLK and it was a truly magical place. The area where I started to realize that gear made a huge difference and I began to actively craft and buy better items, made friends, and really got into the story. When I leveled elves, gnomes, etc. I would always travel here and play these quest lines just to experience Westfall again and again. For the Alliance!!
This will more than likely get lost in the comments, but I was super active in WoW on alliance in the Icecrown server way back in the day before WOTLK. I had my main back then which was a Night Elf Druid. I remember meeting what I remember was my first WoW boyfriend. We were both NE druids at the time and we used to just spend hours in Westfall just chatting and exploring, but the most important aspect of this was that we always stayed in our feral forms and roleplayed as cats from the Warriors series. Those days were always my favorites. Because this was before the friends function (Or at least I couldn't figure it out if it was there.) I always felt lucky when I managed to come across his feral form across the fields of gold. I never knew how much those days would have meant to me until they were gone. We always hung out at the abandoned and empty campsite by the mines and just RPing for hours. He showed me a lot of cool places that you could only get to by flying and even showed me glitch hopping over mountains to get to certain spots. I had hoped that he would have posted his story here so that we could find each other again and play together like we used to do as kids... If you are reading this, please respond, because I miss you! I will probably always miss this kind druid.
The part from 9:45 to 11:00... so impressive, so welcome-home...so goosebumps. The horns...as if something very mighty is waiting for you around the corner, you know it´s there and you know you don´have to fear anything as it´s something good, but you also know you better don´t contest it because in that case you will be blown away by it.
back when WoW first came out, my brothers got it. we shared an acc (and computer). and i was so entranced. but we were never really well off. my father got us pretty late (he was around 55 when i was born) and so he retired when i was around 10-13. my mother was the sole bread-winner for our family of six then. we didn't really get allowance (dunno where my brothers got the money from). it was not long after my brothers got WoW that they couldn't pay for it anymore. and so almost a year went by of no WoW. and i missed it so. i was questing in westfall then. and man, do i tell you what a feeling it was to log in again and finally explore westfall and all the rest.
brings back memories of a hot summer in 2007, my older brother had an WoW account i loved watching him play with his dwarf hunter called "Bifour"but also had my own nightelf warrior called "Elbenprinz". During that summer i spent most of my wow time in Westfall with his hot and dry atmopshere. For me the adventure laid more in exploring the region rather then leveling. I remember wanting that cool red facial cloth all the npc rogues would have. Sadly as a warrior I couldnt wear it. Nostalgia, I'm loving and hating it at the same time...
Yesterday somebody asked me:"What's your All-Time favourite Game?" I immediately answered:"Final Fantasy X!" Now, i sit here and listen to this Soundtrack, and ALL the memories come up. The Defiance Brotherhood, Deadmines, the Scarecrow Mechs, the beach at night with full moon.. and this all was only from Lvl10-13. Just think about it how much adventures there came after Westfall. When someone would ask again, i think i might have to say:"Well, there are is a huge amount of great games out there, but the greatest experience and the strongest memories i earned in 6 years of World of Warcraft!" It's "only" a Video-game, but i had a great adolescence in this world, where the real world became strange, ugly and realy annoying. At this point, i give a HUUUGE thanks to Blizzard Entertainment for this Masterpiece! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I have no idea why, but Westfall is one of my favorite questing zones. If I am ever leveling an Alliance character, I am always excited to go there once I hit lvl 10.
In the parts where the melody reach those high notes, I swear a nude made of something like happiness and anguish tears down my chest. LIke everyone, we can't imagine how each other misses those times when you could play Wow for the entire day, even doing nothin... just exploring these zones and learning quest's lores. Such beautiful times
When I listen to this music, I tell myself how much I love this game. I have several times stopped my subscription, but it was never definitive. I always ended up coming back to WoW. One day maybe I will stop playing this game for good, but not today.
This takes me back to a magical time in WoW. I was fortunate enough to be part of the beta and/or stress test. My first character was a human paladin. I got him to level 19 and was leveling in Westfall. We took a large group of players and went inside Deadmines. We got to the top of the boat, and that's when the group fell apart. I also remember looking across the river and seeing the level-skull spiders in the forest, along with some high-level zombies guarding a tower. I still play WoW to this day.
I always find myself back in westfall. Sometimes I will just walk through the zone with my night elf, and remember the journey I took to get there from Kalimador.
Honestly this is my favourite place in Azeroth. This is the area you are starting to get to know what your character can do, what your goals are and who you want to become. The best instance available for teaching the basics of dungeons is there too. You will always meet interesting people because it's a huge mix of players from noob to pro in this area. I really felt like this area was built very early on because it seems the most like Warcraft 3 in my opinion. It just has a very interesting feeling to it, where it is slightly dead but also very much alive.
I wish Westfall was as big as it felt, I wish it was the biggest zone in wow. Imagine walking up a hill and the music rises as you see the sun rise over the massive rolling yellow plains of westfall reaching too far to see the end....
I used to help people get through death mine when i was young , 55 level back then . Also having a guild full of newbies , who ever want to get through death mine , can join my guild too . I give free backpack and resources , a lot of people willing to join . Have a lot of good time back then , people are just kind and willing to form a family in game . I like to look apon the star in this area , with this epic music and the bright sky with moon and star , just pure gold . I made a campfire , sit there ... and just wait . Hope everything wont disappear .
brings back memories of 05. when i was just a young paladin questing here. ahhh sweet memories
3 หลายเดือนก่อน
I remember coming home from my work night shift in 2005 and playing this in the morning until I fell asleep. It was such an amazing experience, and I'm fond of those memories. Im now 42 and i dont play wow anymore for quite some time and i can only cherish this moments.
After all this time i realise...the feeling of playing this game back in 2005/06 cannot be brought back, not because the game has changed, but because i have changed...
Been searching for the song that had 12:40 for years. This part of the soundtrack suddenly stood out to me one day and I realized Westfall was special.
For some reason the whole environment, topography, music and ambiance of Westfall always reminded me of Mid-World in Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series. Like a shining once-noble empire that was left behind to wither away when the world moved on.
Fond memories of this zone, of chasing the Defias courier halfway across the map, and of wandering through the fields while in-game rain came down. Those were halcyon days,
I remember the Wetlands Death run as a night elf all to get to Stormwind, the CAPITAL city, and, of course, Westfall, home of the deadmines. _Those darn crocolisks._ We had to travel as a group. Some people got left behind in the swamp. Never saw them again. _Good times._
Westfall music already has this nostalgic, melancholic tone, and it makes the feeling even stronger for me. Wow, probably my favourite soundtrack. And zone, too. Haha, I even met one of my first and best wow-friend there! I was so young, i loved discovering every new region, music, creature, lore... the good times.
This is such a nice way of putting it. You will never achieve that feeling of what WoW once was before you became aware of stats and min/maxing and real life became more demanding. But you can still have a great time and enjoy the beautiful new zones and music.
Thank you very much for this, I always loved westfall ambient and soundtrack.This one hour mixtape helps me while I'm learning for history and romanian literature ^^
I started playing wow a little later because of my age, but no other zone in a game has hit me as hard as this one. I really hope this is what heaven is.
I didn't know a soundtrack could make me feel homesick for a place that's not even real, from a game I have never even played... (ok I played it for a couple days)
I just read through the comments and oh God... the stories you people tell here. I wish we could all go back, and re-experience the whole rise of World of Warcraft. This game will always be in our memories
Whenever the commute to work grinds on my spirit or I get lonely at home, I think back to the time when I played wow as a kid, or imagine stories in Azeroth. Although I no longer feel the same magic when playing, I am grateful to Blizz for their creation
So many hours spent in Westfall on my little warlock when I stated in TBC. I did not like the zone then but I love it now! Oh the memories and the great runs through the Dead Mines with my friends!
For some reason I always associate the song 96 Quite Bitter Beings with Westfall because as I was levelling in Westfall last year (I had returned to WOW, the last time I properly played it was around seven to eight years ago) and I just had that song on repeat whilst I was levelling. Also, in that dungeon in Westfall I thought "How the fuck am I supposed to do this?" it just so happened that as I was moping around outside of the portal dungeon entrance a level 60 gnome was in the mine and I asked him for help and he happily accepted! I remember being so thankful, after he helped clear the dungeon for me he took me back to the surface, gave me some tips on what stats I should focus on for my class, said his goodbyes and flew off on his dragon mount. Due to this I always come back to Westfall and just look back on it, I still associate 96 Quite Bitter a Beings with Westfall and every time I hear it I get the same feeling I did when I originally came to Westfall.
Logging into World of Warcraft in Westfall on a crisp, cold winters day and hearing that music back in the day... nothing quite like it.
holy shit man are we brothers
right in the feels
right??!? a PERFECT day. what sucked was skipping school with the intention of playing wow all day and it was a tuesday :/ bummer
as dreading as the zone was, especially Moonbrook, the music makes me feel home in this zone. never skip it on alts these days for sheer nostalgia even though it has changed a lot
..and the sun is shining.. David Bowie playing on the living room stereo.
I didn’t know a soundtrack could make me feel homesick for a place that’s not even real....
It's called nostalgia
One; damn, that hits hard. Two; that's it, that's the perfect description of soundtracks.
Its absolutely real.
I think many of us feel the same
Well said Derek. Well said. We all feel it.
After you kill a pillager and you hear "HUAH!" about 3 times....Run...
Too late Bud, prepare to run Back :)
wasn't there an infographic of what mobs killed players the most, and Defias Pillager topped that list by an insane margin lol. Vanilla was crazy
"HUAH! HUAH! HUAH!" ....Oh shit... Run that way! "Gnoll sound X10" ...I guess I'll just die.

I have very fond memories about Westfall, leveling there when Wotlk came out with my best friend. He passed away one year ago, to this day i remeber the image of his Dwarf wandering through the sunny fields of Westfall.
hard imagination, but his spirit is always with us
I am so sorry...
My condolences, may I ask how he died?
Same here, joined during Wotlk as a human paladin at the time. Elwynn forest and Westfall are very memorable. Sorry about your friend.
Smile because it happened :)

Bragging about how shitty your life is for validation. Paaaaaathetic!
Is there a way to delete comments on TH-cam?
RKS88 he is sharing how he suffer bitch, show some respect !
You guys are a perfect example of how emasculated the western man was has become. Crying about a fucking video game.
It's incredibly sad to me how people like RKS88 try to act strong and tough, while laughing down on someone's own personal problems and his attempts to act authentic and honest with himself and being open with it. Humans have already evolved from survival from the fittest centuries ago and even in western society, which happened to be more comfortable than it was ever for us, we have to cope with much more complex issues than we had to in the past, due to technological and social changes.

We have been blessed with a place of living in particularly fortunate place, but still there is nothing to be ashamed of if we feel bad with all of that.
Being 11 years old, scared of the Harvesters, Bandits and Gizzards is so nostalgic, I used to play this on my family desktop with a blanket over me and the monitor so I could see playing in our sunny conservatory. Westfall is my most memorable area. I will likely play Classic Wow over and over throughout my life because of that feeling. Respect to the old wow devs.
oh god the harvesters where definitely the first thing to truly scare me in wow, they were so eerie. Nostalgia is so overwhelming.
the feels man.... right in the heart...
mah hart, mah sole
5 years later and its the same feeling.. are you there bro
@@Ernestro58 We're here man. We never left.

I'll never forget my first time in Dead Mines. I was just a little prot-warrior, back when prot-warrior was definitely NOT cool for leveling. My priest friend Solace (holy priest, who refused to even TRAIN any shadow spells - was awesome), and our Balance druid friend... Rosalie - she ran around in cat form and never cast a single spell. It was pretty bad.
Anyhow, I'll never forget our 3 hour clear of the dungeon. We got out at about 4 in the morning as the sun was rising in game and in real life. Nothing like coming out that mine cave and seeing the sunlight, hearing this music, and knowing you did good work - questioning the house of nobles and the validity of the defias engine.
Maybe they didn't kill Tiffin. Maybe it was all Prestor and her plots. Maybe Grand Master Van Cleef truly just was pushed so far he couldn't turn back and had to keep his obligations to his brethren.
Maybe he was just trying to part upon the Square.
Good memories.
I had a similar experience clearing Deadmines with 2 others! Took us hours and we celebrated for a solid 20 mins afterwards lol.
This is a great comment:)
supposedly strongest rogue character in wow. gets defreated by lvl 20s
Nice name for your priest.
I did the same as you, at lvl. 25 as a group of 3 balance druids. Died 4 times. Why did cookie have to be so ez?
These videos hurt me more than it comforts me. It's like I left home and never returned
That's the definition of nostalgia. A reminder of a home you can't return to, even though you have a home. It's sometimes more pain than comfort, sometimes more comfort than pain.
We used to spend our teenage days in wow. Playing the game for hours and doing quests, chatting, mining, skinning, while these songs were playing. The experiences and feelings got ingrained in our neuron connections. Now after many years listening to these songs those same neuron connections fire up. And just faintly we can feel the same feeling as if a ghost of the past. That's what we feel. Bittersweet memories of days gone. This is as close as we will get to the past...
Love you guys,maybe we met in this beautiful world...💖💖
Well said.
We got good tatse of ambient music
I remember going to westfall at night and looking up at the stars. It was magic with this ambient music. Ahhhhhh🥺
Westfall at night is ineed very special :)
Human line in Elwyn-Westfall-Redridge-Duskwood is the best chain in WoW. Long story about Defias Brotherhood, investigation about treason in Stormwind, quests like Ambalmer, Sven's Revenge, Legend of Stalvan, quests in SI: 7. Thanks for work, Blizzard.
I dont know why but Duskwood was one of my favorite places during the 1-60 grind, did it many times and never got old for some reason.
@@raumo123 fun fact, it turns out, whole Duskwood is bad, all of the villagers from darkshire are worgens, that are planning bad things to do,
you see it during one of the artifatct quests for rouge
human questline in vanilla feels like a great D&D campaign
Не согласен, bloof elf line is way way better in terms of lore, visuals, atmosphere. Its more enchanting, mystic. Human line takes second place after bloodelf.
@@tima_net3289 Human line is more relatable.
Without a doubt, the most underrated World of Warcraft channel on TH-cam. Amazing work!
Aw, thank you! /bow
Westfall ambience is among the finest soundtracks of WoW. One cannot dislike this piece of art.
Is this Westfall soundtrack pre-Cataclysm or it starts playing durning Cataclysm?
@@naer3513 This soundtrack is pre-Cataclysm
Just remember school getting cancelled in the winter, getting on my laptop, and playing World of Warcraft all day. Best feeling ever.
I remember playing the WoW beta back in 2004. Back then leveling was extremely slow. It took over a day to reach level 10. Once I finally hit level 10, I made my way to Westfall. It was amazing, so massive. Walking along the beaches... just wow.
A week later, I managed to be level 18. Myself and the few people I met along the way, decided to head into the Deadmines and see what that is. Most people playing, including myself and my group, had no idea or even an understanding concept of what an Instance even was. It took us over 6 hours and multiple wipes until we managed to kill Edwin VanCleefs inside of the Deadmines.
I will never forget that feeling of how massive and beautiful a video game can be.
Wow in 2004 2005 2006 was absolutely magic
@@Badkhela I started right at the end of 2006, about two weeks before Burning Crusades and I still remember a band of high level horde coming through elwynn forest tearing everyone up. I'd never seen pvp like that before and got me hooked! Took forever to grind up levels (not nearly as long as was said in the beta of course though) but it made it so worth it when you finally hit level cap. Then world pvp was basically killed off and the feeling was lost :(
I was introduced to WOW in 2005..3 months after its release. Never played anything like it before. I was pulled right in. And that was only teaching my son the basics. It lured me in. Grinding back then. So easy now.
I haven’t played WOW in years, but I still think about running around Westfall on a crisp Fall day to this music.
used to play with the windows open and a brisk breeze bringing the autumn smells of fallen leaves. then my dad getting mad because it was sucking all the heat out of the house.
logging on at 3pm right after school during October to kill gnolls to get to deadmines so you can get your Cruel Barb.
I remember the almost eternal sunset and breeze in Westfall. It is the first place that attracted me when I first came to WOW. A Warlock, level 20, riding his Felsteed, ran around the field and wilderness in a daze, collecting every coin and gray equipment. Memories are always so nice.
Saddest thing for me is at 50 years old, the best adventure I've ever had in my life was inside WoW during the first month or so after vanilla went public back in 2004. Real life pales in comparison. I see they've changed the music now but the core song is still there. Very nice thanks for posting it.
Thou art one of our legends, champion of Azeroth. Wish I could've played back then, I always hear it was special. All so much and all brand new.
@@ClericOfPholtus It was like living in a bubble, days were never ending, never concerned about what life was sending. Fantasy was real and now we know much about the way we feel, I wish i could paint you a picture cus i dont think its the same round here no more, they took away the key to the door, now we only get what they will settle for.
dude that is not sad. I was there, too. I have an amazing life now and loved almost every part of it. Still the first 2 months in vanilla were ... nothing comes even close.
This was put up on my birthday 4 years ago. Listened to it probably 500 times throughout medical school to help focus. still listen afterward. Thank you for the best video and music ever!
This song reminds me of my childhood, like many others here. But also, it helped me gain a positive memory from the beginning of the pandemic - my aspiration has always been to be a mathematician one day, sitting in my office thinking of solutions to problems. Coming up with theorems. When the pandemic started, my job paid me to stay home (a job that couldn't be work from home - just got paid not to be at work). Just so happened that this was also my senior year of college, and I had to write a pretty intensely long explanation of an already solved math problem. I listened to this soundtrack on loop during that period of my life. I'd wake up, turn this on, hit the loop button, and work on my math paper for 8-10 hours. And for a couple of months, I lived the life I always wanted to live. This soundtrack reminds me of that time. I wish I could go back for a day. Thanks Everness for making these videos.
Great times. Great memories. It really felt like an adventure back in 2004-2005. I suppose it was partly my youth, me being fairly new to online games, MMOs being quite young, and the less on rails game play and more social nature of MMOs back then. It just seems there's really nothing new to discover with MMOs as they stand. Part of that is just me being jaded from spending too much time with them, I guess. But it does seem that they've gotten dumber and duller while we've grown older and more complex. Oh well. Everything has its time, and I enjoyed the days I spent with Warcraft. Nothing lasts forever, nor should it. Cheers.
I couldn't agree with you more. Blizz is pandering to little kids now, so the gameplay has suffered for us veterans. I had to quit as a result of it getting dumber and duller, as you put it.
I definitely think it's more of the former, in regards to Xaelvik's original post. I started playing back in 2007, when I was 14. Everything was new and amazing and immersive, etc. etc. to infinity... Nothing gives the feeling that WoW used to give me, not because games have become worse, but because I've become jaded.
I can relate to the jaded part, but I keep searching for better MMOs, and currently I'm very happy with the one I'm playing. But, for kicks I like to turn off its music, play WOW's music, and imagine that I'm playing a state of the art WOW game. I know Blizzard will never update WOW to be anything other than it is, so this is the best I can do. And you know it works for me. I have the WOW nostalgia from the music, and state of the art MMO gameplay. Win, Win.
You probably won't like it. It's Korean.
well said!
The music that starts at 9:47 reminds me of vanilla WoW, pre-cata xpac, before they changed all of the zone music. It's very nostalgic to me.
I wish they would roll back all of the Vanilla world changes from Cata. I used to be a serial leveler, but Cata ruined it. The
I have restarted with BfA and they really changed it. Now monsters level up with you. It mean that no quest are outdated untill you reach the extension barrier. The worse about questing before was having to move quest zone once every 5 level OR to chain dungeon. But now you can go back to the zone and spend as much time you want to complete the quests. Yet, this is still weird to fight level 60 kobold in elwyn forest (if you're 60 or above)
38:20 segment just thrusts my mind straight back into plodding along the expanse, with a log full of completed quests, excited to hand them all in
Close your eyes and get back to old times, this is a MASTERPIECE.
TO THE BEST GAME EVER MADE. CHEERS
As a dude who played WoW for the first time in 2018 (the Vanilla version on a private server) I have to say that this is not just nostalgia for you guys. This truly is one amazing score that fits perfectly to the setting of Westfall. I had a blast leveling my first character there and meeting a bunch of cool people.
Elwynn forest and Westfall were my intro zones into the World of Warcraft, so they have a special place in my heart.
Westfall and Shimmering Flats hit me the most with nostalgia, the plains of Mulgore....this takes me back.
Xak Black shimmering flats is my favorite song in the game
austinha11 That's a good position to have. I have trouble choosing, but I think I get goosebumps the most from this one the most, so I should probably pick it. :)
Shimmering flats for me too dunno why.
Was this theme in the game back in Vanilla or its an update in Cata?
@@naer3513 im not sure, but IMO the music didnt change during cata
If i could bottle and sell the feeling that the music from this game makes me feel, i'd make a fortune.
Experience it all over again next summer 2019 - Classic WoW releases :)
@@Ren3gade it's not the same. the memories, feelings and nostalgia are already made. classic is just trying to cash in on that. our memories are already made, my friend. the time for wow has passed, gone...but NEVER forgotten
Who wants to buy intense melancholy mixed with painful nostalgia ?
@@Ya-zm1mr Haven't you ever watched/read a tragedy? It's all the same desperate cathartic feeling
@@uzzobb you've got a point there mate
I remember playing my first gnome rogue and meeting this level 26 priest who was helping me quest. He told me about this giant blue bird that appears sometimes and it drops a dagger that would be very useful for me. So I spent an hour looking around for this giant blue bird. We never found it but I remember having an awesome time goofin around.
Oh yea! I remember stumbling on that bird one time as a level 60 Druid in westfall (my favourite zone visually and musically, so I used to hang around there), so killed it and got that dagger. It’s probably still on my Druid in the bank if Blizzard haven’t deleted him yet. Not logged into WoW for about 10 years now
As a newbie, this was the first map I discovered besides elwynn forest. Brings me lots of nostalgia and makes me feel pretty good.
The ambient layer combined with source music makes for a great auditory experience!
That was exactly the idea :)
Jason Hayes ladies and gentlemen.
5:20 to 6:00 reduced me to a sobbing mess
God, the beauty
Will you re-experience it all over again next summer? Classic WoW release :)
@@Ren3gade its not the same though
@@drateryako it is what we make it to be
Frank Ocean it’s gonna be as close as it can get to the original thing, and based on what blizz is updating us about classic, they r listening to the community’s opinions well to make classic feel like the old game. Give it a chance, u might not regret it :)
@Batman Live in the moment. Trying to bring back the past will only create a world of hurt.. I would give anything to be 13 again and experiencing going through the Dark Portal for the first time with my friends or hanging out in Westfall, Dun Morogh etc, meeting random people and just talk about our lives and plans for the future. But we are older now. That excitement ans the bond between players will not be the same. The world is so well connected now, chatting with random people online is part of daily life and multiplayer games like Fortnite and platforms like TH-cam have changed the culture as to how we interact with strangers online. They may bring the game back, but they can't recreate the structural context which made it possible to know people on a personal level on such a large scale as back in 2007. At least I don't think so. Create good memories with what you have today, time flies too fast to be looking back. The thing that made WoW great for me was that I lived in the moment. I should strive to live in this moment as well and create new memories I can smile back at.
This hit the spot. Takes me back to 2006 when I was exploring the World of Warcraft, it truly felt like another world, not a game.
Every quest was important. Every fight to help the struggling people of Westfall mattered. Every knoll or bandit lurking the hills was a real danger. To even capture a fraction of that feeling with Classic was awesome.
Imagining experiencing that feeling once again..I would pay fortunes. The beginning of everything today gamers think its scientifically possible to create, but at the time nobody had a fucking clue that is true and what have they accomplished. 2004!!!!!
fighting as a ret two rogues at once. So classic
It’s crazy what a game can do to your psyche. And the crazy part about it all is I dream of Azeroth on the daily. It’s literally ingrained into my soul. What great memories this game has brought to me growing up as a teen.
Brings back so many memories, this is just quality.
Every single time I listen to your songs I feel the feeling. The feeling to be free and relieved. World of Warcraft has given me an childhood memory that is untouchable. When I thinking about this time I'm crying but I'm also happy I had this time in my life.
thank you for job you have done and great quality videos. great channel!
Appreciated! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Comment well appreciate for you make comment.
Reminds me of 6am after being up all night grinding.
I played Westfall primarily in WotLK and it was a truly magical place. The area where I started to realize that gear made a huge difference and I began to actively craft and buy better items, made friends, and really got into the story. When I leveled elves, gnomes, etc. I would always travel here and play these quest lines just to experience Westfall again and again. For the Alliance!!
This will more than likely get lost in the comments, but I was super active in WoW on alliance in the Icecrown server way back in the day before WOTLK. I had my main back then which was a Night Elf Druid. I remember meeting what I remember was my first WoW boyfriend. We were both NE druids at the time and we used to just spend hours in Westfall just chatting and exploring, but the most important aspect of this was that we always stayed in our feral forms and roleplayed as cats from the Warriors series. Those days were always my favorites.
Because this was before the friends function (Or at least I couldn't figure it out if it was there.) I always felt lucky when I managed to come across his feral form across the fields of gold. I never knew how much those days would have meant to me until they were gone. We always hung out at the abandoned and empty campsite by the mines and just RPing for hours. He showed me a lot of cool places that you could only get to by flying and even showed me glitch hopping over mountains to get to certain spots.
I had hoped that he would have posted his story here so that we could find each other again and play together like we used to do as kids...
If you are reading this, please respond, because I miss you! I will probably always miss this kind druid.
This song is proof that World of Warcraft is not just a video game, it is part of our lives.
The part from 9:45 to 11:00... so impressive, so welcome-home...so goosebumps. The horns...as if something very mighty is waiting for you around the corner, you know it´s there and you know you don´have to fear anything as it´s something good, but you also know you better don´t contest it because in that case you will be blown away by it.
Another hauntingly beautiful piece of music. Instantly recognizeable. Just epic.
This song is so beautiful it comforted me when I was alone.
back when WoW first came out, my brothers got it. we shared an acc (and computer). and i was so entranced. but we were never really well off. my father got us pretty late (he was around 55 when i was born) and so he retired when i was around 10-13. my mother was the sole bread-winner for our family of six then. we didn't really get allowance (dunno where my brothers got the money from).
it was not long after my brothers got WoW that they couldn't pay for it anymore. and so almost a year went by of no WoW. and i missed it so. i was questing in westfall then. and man, do i tell you what a feeling it was to log in again and finally explore westfall and all the rest.
brings back memories of a hot summer in 2007, my older brother had an WoW account i loved watching him play with his dwarf hunter called "Bifour"but also had my own nightelf warrior called "Elbenprinz". During that summer i spent most of my wow time in Westfall with his hot and dry atmopshere. For me the adventure laid more in exploring the region rather then leveling. I remember wanting that cool red facial cloth all the npc rogues would have. Sadly as a warrior I couldnt wear it. Nostalgia, I'm loving and hating it at the same time...
Vanilla Memory #26: "Defias Messenger at Jangolode Mine!"
Haha, the only way I can describe my reaction whenever I read that message in general chat back in the day: "My dude!"
Must have quests.
Yesterday somebody asked me:"What's your All-Time favourite Game?" I immediately answered:"Final Fantasy X!"
Now, i sit here and listen to this Soundtrack, and ALL the memories come up. The Defiance Brotherhood, Deadmines, the Scarecrow Mechs, the beach at night with full moon.. and this all was only from Lvl10-13. Just think about it how much adventures there came after Westfall.
When someone would ask again, i think i might have to say:"Well, there are is a huge amount of great games out there, but the greatest experience and the strongest memories i earned in 6 years of World of Warcraft!"
It's "only" a Video-game, but i had a great adolescence in this world, where the real world became strange, ugly and realy annoying.
At this point, i give a HUUUGE thanks to Blizzard Entertainment for this Masterpiece!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I have no idea why, but Westfall is one of my favorite questing zones. If I am ever leveling an Alliance character, I am always excited to go there once I hit lvl 10.
Will I see you there when Classic WoW releases? :D
Same here.
Same, something very special about it, stepping out of the safety of sw and gs, homely but eerie.
Something about westfall... the nostalgia hits you the hardest.
Amazing!! 10 years after playing WOW...and I find this. Thank you for the feels.
Oohh my good old WoW, you're in the top list among the things I miss the most from my youth :( I wish I could start like a I never played you before.
Wish i could go back to the days vanilla wow started ... best game experience i ever had with random people.
I don't think we'll ever discover a more immersive world and soundtrack again. WoW really was something else
absolutely. im just sad knowing the fact that those times will never come back
Back in high school leveling in Westfall after school. Window open on a crisp fall day… Sticks in my mind for some reason. Really rememberable.
In the parts where the melody reach those high notes, I swear a nude made of something like happiness and anguish tears down my chest. LIke everyone, we can't imagine how each other misses those times when you could play Wow for the entire day, even doing nothin... just exploring these zones and learning quest's lores.
Such beautiful times
When I listen to this music, I tell myself how much I love this game.
I have several times stopped my subscription, but it was never definitive. I always ended up coming back to WoW. One day maybe I will stop playing this game for good, but not today.
This takes me back to a magical time in WoW. I was fortunate enough to be part of the beta and/or stress test. My first character was a human paladin. I got him to level 19 and was leveling in Westfall. We took a large group of players and went inside Deadmines. We got to the top of the boat, and that's when the group fell apart. I also remember looking across the river and seeing the level-skull spiders in the forest, along with some high-level zombies guarding a tower. I still play WoW to this day.
I always find myself back in westfall. Sometimes I will just walk through the zone with my night elf, and remember the journey I took to get there from Kalimador.
Honestly this is my favourite place in Azeroth.
This is the area you are starting to get to know what your character can do, what your goals are and who you want to become.
The best instance available for teaching the basics of dungeons is there too.
You will always meet interesting people because it's a huge mix of players from noob to pro in this area.
I really felt like this area was built very early on because it seems the most like Warcraft 3 in my opinion.
It just has a very interesting feeling to it, where it is slightly dead but also very much alive.
When wow was something unique.
Those days wont come back! Now its purê Money like all games. Greatings from 2004! /Salute
I wish Westfall was as big as it felt, I wish it was the biggest zone in wow. Imagine walking up a hill and the music rises as you see the sun rise over the massive rolling yellow plains of westfall reaching too far to see the end....
I love that Westfall’s music used a lot of the same motifs from Elwynn forest. Really ties the world together with the little touches like that
This music is like opium to my mind. If could just go back in time and experience it all over again...
Every time I listen to it again a feeling transports me home.
I used to help people get through death mine when i was young , 55 level back then .
Also having a guild full of newbies , who ever want to get through death mine , can join my guild too .
I give free backpack and resources , a lot of people willing to join .
Have a lot of good time back then , people are just kind and willing to form a family in game .
I like to look apon the star in this area , with this epic music and the bright sky with moon and star , just pure gold .
I made a campfire , sit there ... and just wait .
Hope everything wont disappear .
ahhh shivers!! Crazy how a few notes can trigger such strong emotions
brings back memories of 05. when i was just a young paladin questing here. ahhh sweet memories
I remember coming home from my work night shift in 2005 and playing this in the morning until I fell asleep. It was such an amazing experience, and I'm fond of those memories. Im now 42 and i dont play wow anymore for quite some time and i can only cherish this moments.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS! YOU ROCK! I love putting this fullscreen and just listening and watching and pretending I'm there. FOR AZEROTH!
After all this time i realise...the feeling of playing this game back in 2005/06 cannot be brought back, not because the game has changed, but because i have changed...
31:07 so many fond memories, makes me feel homesick.
Been searching for the song that had 12:40 for years. This part of the soundtrack suddenly stood out to me one day and I realized Westfall was special.
sameeee
When i look back to this stuff, its like im looking back on my old life
For some reason the whole environment, topography, music and ambiance of Westfall always reminded me of Mid-World in Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series. Like a shining once-noble empire that was left behind to wither away when the world moved on.
Fond memories of this zone, of chasing the Defias courier halfway across the map, and of wandering through the fields while in-game rain came down. Those were halcyon days,
You literally have the best content/channel on yt. Keep it up, proud of you.
🙄
I remember the Wetlands Death run as a night elf all to get to Stormwind, the CAPITAL city, and, of course, Westfall, home of the deadmines.
_Those darn crocolisks._ We had to travel as a group. Some people got left behind in the swamp. Never saw them again.
_Good times._
Exactly my story. It was unbelievable day.
I did the same on my Nelf Druid. To do the 2nd part of my Aquatic Form Class Quest. Quite a journey from Nordrassil to Westfall.
23:18 😭
i understand
thank you, just what i was looking for
The Barrens
This made me melt
Holy shit does this bring me back. Odd, I can still smell the cookies my mom was cooking while playing this game... Odd how that works
Can smell my old room and hear The music on The stereo in the background.
Westfall music already has this nostalgic, melancholic tone, and it makes the feeling even stronger for me. Wow, probably my favourite soundtrack. And zone, too. Haha, I even met one of my first and best wow-friend there! I was so young, i loved discovering every new region, music, creature, lore... the good times.
Listening to all of this music makes me want to play WoW again, but I'm afraid of what I'll find :/
A much better game. And a sense of loss for something you won't be able to recreate. Probably.
Still a good game though, but hey, I'm biased as f. :)
This is such a nice way of putting it. You will never achieve that feeling of what WoW once was before you became aware of stats and min/maxing and real life became more demanding. But you can still have a great time and enjoy the beautiful new zones and music.
private servers
You can't find the same thing. Because it's not the same person searching.
Just wait for Classic (Vanilla) WoW to release next summer in 2019 :)
Number one place to have summer holidays during school time as a child.
Thank you very much for this, I always loved westfall ambient and soundtrack.This one hour mixtape helps me while I'm learning for history and romanian literature ^^
I started playing wow a little later because of my age, but no other zone in a game has hit me as hard as this one. I really hope this is what heaven is.
The music always have it subtle creepy feel to the mobs. Like everything was a mystery.
Brought a silly lil' tear to my eye, beautiful work there Everness
I'm listening to this while i am working, and i have to say, it makes my mind less stressful and helps me to finish my tasks. Ty OP
Brings back a lot of memories of dying and completing my first ever dungeon as the alliance. Good stuff.
I didn't know a soundtrack could make me feel homesick for a place that's not even real, from a game I have never even played... (ok I played it for a couple days)
I just read through the comments and oh God... the stories you people tell here. I wish we could all go back, and re-experience the whole rise of World of Warcraft. This game will always be in our memories
man such clear audio on everything. very nice sound quality
Thank you. Fun fact: original WoW music files are 160kbs MP3s.
It's great to see a YT channel that honors the music of WoW. It really is the best cinematic music of any video game I've played.
Next to silence, that which comes closest to expressing the inexpressible is music. -Aldous Huxley
Whenever the commute to work grinds on my spirit or I get lonely at home, I think back to the time when I played wow as a kid, or imagine stories in Azeroth. Although I no longer feel the same magic when playing, I am grateful to Blizz for their creation
So many hours spent in Westfall on my little warlock when I stated in TBC. I did not like the zone then but I love it now! Oh the memories and the great runs through the Dead Mines with my friends!
For some reason I always associate the song 96 Quite Bitter Beings with Westfall because as I was levelling in Westfall last year (I had returned to WOW, the last time I properly played it was around seven to eight years ago) and I just had that song on repeat whilst I was levelling. Also, in that dungeon in Westfall I thought "How the fuck am I supposed to do this?" it just so happened that as I was moping around outside of the portal dungeon entrance a level 60 gnome was in the mine and I asked him for help and he happily accepted! I remember being so thankful, after he helped clear the dungeon for me he took me back to the surface, gave me some tips on what stats I should focus on for my class, said his goodbyes and flew off on his dragon mount. Due to this I always come back to Westfall and just look back on it, I still associate 96 Quite Bitter a Beings with Westfall and every time I hear it I get the same feeling I did when I originally came to Westfall.
