Haha did you ever do your playthrough of that steaming pile of crap? I wonder now if they will let people play the old version, every few years I like to do a playthrough of wc3
I've played wow for around 10 years now and the reason that I'm playing it today is because of your channel. You make the world of warcraft come to life with your stories and thanks to you I still enjoy playing it after all those years! Thanks from the wow community! En groeten uit haarlem lekker bezig man!
Thank you so much for the time you put into these! It makes me appreciate the zones more and knowing the story behind them brings them to life even more😀
Nobbel, I dont even play wow anymore, I'm all for the lore now, and even the cinematics bore me, but your videos, they answer every unspoken question, you're a true youtuber, theres fake content, theres actual content, then theres you, you deserve a radio show of your own man
This zone has always had a certain feeling, i had always loved this and would always come and do the quests here while leveling, because there were some quests on some neat locations or like treasure hunts, it's so nice to hear the backround on this zone in more detail.
Oh wow. That is where I got my very first reputation (when I started as a human mage, before turning her into a horde mage towards the end of Wotlk) I wanted a particular mount, and you had to be exalted. That mount was a frost sabre tiger mount. xx
@Alan Payne And undead human pirates. But they were just unsettled islands off the coast from the moment they became islands (Sundering) up to the moment the Draenei arrived. Except for some furbolgs, if you count them.
I’m so sad!!! I was hoping we would go over the Alexstrasza part, that acorn had me crying!!! I just wanted to hear you tell it. Otherwise, fantastic video as ever Nobbel
love you're vids!.Always watch them before sleep ^^ you have amazing story telling voice. Could you do lore on Death in wow ? I remember you saying that you wanted to talk about it at some point if not mistaken I would love to know all about death in different races and and afterlife
a wonderfull video Noble, i didn't even like Desolace before this video, so thank you for this peace of lore. P.S i still want the lore of Suothern Berens, but if you can't a'm happy with Feralas.
I can understand why many people didn't do questing in Desolace in vanilla or after Cataclysm. It's kinda a depressing zone. But I like the redone version more than the vanilla version.
I quite liked the odd version because it was depressing. I mean its called desolace for a reason, now with all the plant growth I wouldn’t call it that. Maybe half-desolace?
I kind of enjoyed it back in classic because it felt like I had made it into into a distant and forgotten territory, and it genuinely felt dangerous questing there. I guess it felt distant and forgotten because there weren’t many other players there
Oh man I remember grinding centaur rep back when I was a wee bab. Desolace is one of those places that isn't at all visually appealing but somehow still kept me there through sheer force of will lmao
I actually loved the zone. Because it was so left out of life. Another zone as life threatening was silithus. I loved the design of it and though it makes sense that the zone has changed I really miss the old design. It felt so hope depriving and so walking through it it felt like heroes facing a horrible reality but still going on with the belief things can be better. Ah man I still love wow.
Always liked this zone even in classic we used to have rep for the tribes back then and a faction QM and whilst it might have seemed desolate thus the name if you looked around you could still find interesting stuff and unspoiled areas.
gorgeous? is that really the right word? are you talking about the post-cataclysm desolace? it definitely looks better than old desolace which was essentially grey dust from top to bottom, east to west.
Damn!!! How did you post this a day after I was leveling in Desolace and thought "Wow I really want to know the lore of this place and Maraudon". Are you a TH-cam Ad algorithm? lol
Valerie C I went there shorty after getting my level 40 mount on my Paladin, ran through there killed a lot of mobs and that was it from what I remember lol
I been playing since 2004. My first toon was a warlock. And i did hit level 40 while in the middle of questing in Desolace. I went to get my felsteed and i was back in Desolace the next day on my new shinny mount to keep on questing (Desolace was actualy my favorite zone back then for some strange reazon). And today i learned that the Felsteed is originary from Desolace....
I spent hours in Desolace back in Vanilla. When my mage was around her early level 30's, I first went to Stranglethorn as most Alliance players are wont to do. It felt way too crowded for my liking, however so I looked around for an alternative and found it in Desolace. I stayed in Desolace from level 32 ish up to 38 ish and during my entire time there, I only ever saw a handful of people. There weren't really a lot of quests to do around there back then, but I just spent my time grinding mobs and looking for the most lucrative vendor trash mobs around so I could make a little change while leveling. I always kinda liked Desolace. It was far enough away from the Alliance hotspots that I didn't have to worry about sharing mobs with anyone and most Horde players tended to ignore it as well. The very few Horde players I did see had zero interest in fighting me however and seemed to be more interested in moving out of Desolace asap.
Uldum, it was an interesting zone. unfortunately we don't see anything from there anymore. it was the zone behind the wall, where nothing was known. it is ancient, so must have quite a history.
it's really cool seeing all of this stuff in the game ive literally never done and ive been playing since late BC. Still not gonna do it tho LMAO I'll just watch Nobbel ^^
Man I farmed that trinket back in the day as a tank and honestly hated it. Just the having to wear such old gear that would cause such spike damage to me without my other stats. Phew... glad to not be doing that anymore! Just killing all centaur instead....
The zone that nobody wanted to do in Vanilla. There were demons, naga, undead, centaur,burning blade and a bunch of beasts. But not a single questline that stood out.
i dunno there was the questline the war between the two centaur tribes which was unique compared to any other questline in wow. You had to manually go and decide which faction to just start ruthlessly murdering lol. After watching this video its interesting to learn that the Magram tribe was "the good guys" ultimately, especially since i played a lot of leather wearers and so more often sided with the Magram than the gelkis. Also this video makes me wonder are there any centaur in the eastern kingdoms? i feel like there were some centaur in Draenor as well, HOW THE F DID THAT HAPPEN?
Wyndell Lee Most people in WotLK called him Bob cause they couldn't be bothered to learn his name. Sure as Nobbel has posted, there is something to be learned from him. However Lor'Themar has done, just the bare minimum to qualify as a decent character. In MoP he got some decent story, and hopefully in BFA he can cement himself as a decent leader. (I think he has done a great job) since Prince Kael'Thas has been unreservedly been dethroned
Ok but ... WHAT ARE THOSE 2 GIANT SERPENT SKELETONS!? IVE HAD THIS QUESTION ON MY MIND FOR 13 YEARS! Nobbel, you missed so much... Youve gotten sloppy bud. Lol
You almost give me the motivation to level a toon to 120. only have my mage on 120, i'm just thinking about 110-120 and all the rep grind with the wq's...I don't wanna go thru it again just like legion but its prob the right time for it since we don't get that much with 8.1.5. all I want for my mage at this point is change him from reg troll to the new trolls but thats 8.2. now...
Wyndell Lee Cairne was a true hero, it's a real shame the fate he met in the shattering book. Coming from the Cairne server, it's so disappointing to see how spineless Baine is.
It would be interesting to know if at one point the princess actually was beutiful, not like a human would see her but a more primal beuty. Her ugly look would come from the corruption from N' Zoth, since he seems to be behind most of the ancient bosses we fight.

Watching your videos make Wow look like a new game.... Great content.
« Zaethar whas enthralled by her beauty » Dude WTF?
Bewitching spells are a thing.
Don't think to hard on it xD
Elementals are weird, man.
Dude he is a tree hugger, a stick lover and cuddler. Now look at her... She is literally made of sticks and stones :D Everyone has his fetish.
More cushion for the pushin my guy
"Zaethar was charmed by her beauty..."
Either he was raped or she left herself go after break up.
One of my favorites zones in warcraft. A lot of memories too.
when I saw that WC3 footage it reminded me of how I can't wait to play the reforged version and go through the story again in HD.
Haha did you ever do your playthrough of that steaming pile of crap? I wonder now if they will let people play the old version, every few years I like to do a playthrough of wc3

En groeten uit haarlem lekker bezig man!
Oh shit, i was just looking for this the other day, perfect timing as always, Nobbel!
Ahh Desolace, one of the ugliest places in the entire world of warcraft. I still regret by putting a feet on that horrid land
dammit. now Im gunna have to play through that zone. thanks for making everything interesting.
I love watching your videos when I need some chill voiced lore
Thank you so much for the time you put into these! It makes me appreciate the zones more and knowing the story behind them brings them to life even more😀
Love it. Keep up the good work. A history of Duskwood would be neat.
you deserve wows all time player peak for your subscriber count. absolutely amazing. you put so much work into these. very underrated.
I am so happy that you did this zone. I have been waiting a long time for zone lore.
That is coincidence, I just did this area done. Nice video again Nobbel. :)

"way back when, when Molten Core walk through videos where still a thing, a young, handsome, charming boy by the name Nobble-"
@@HippoKing.MP3 He offered his services to the master of guilds. The master of guilds showing great affection for him seized this opportunity.
This dude rolls his R's harder than my dad hits me when he's drinking.
Still better love story than Twilight...
I recently did the Desolace quests to complete the quest achieve for that area. I enjoyed it tbh.
Majestic?!?!?! I literaly spewed out my coffee when his MAJESTICNESS took over the screen.
Oh wow. That is where I got my very first reputation (when I started as a human mage, before turning her into a horde mage towards the end of Wotlk) I wanted a particular mount, and you had to be exalted. That mount was a frost sabre tiger mount. xx
Does azurmist isle has a story exept being home for the drainei??
I don't think so, no. Just a couple of unsettled islands off the coast.
There's Elvish Ruins on Azuremyst and Bloodmyst has them as well as a ghost of the leader of ? the Dragon Riders of Loreth'Aran
@Alan Payne
And undead human pirates. But they were just unsettled islands off the coast from the moment they became islands (Sundering) up to the moment the Draenei arrived. Except for some furbolgs, if you count them.
YESSSS I've been dying to know why Desolace is how it is!
The colossal that you mentioned at the end there (especially 19:56) looks like the same one as the entrance to Maraudon.
I’m so sad!!! I was hoping we would go over the Alexstrasza part, that acorn had me crying!!! I just wanted to hear you tell it. Otherwise, fantastic video as ever Nobbel
dude,,love ur videos ,,dont ever stop making them !!!!
I loved the centaur quest with the horn and whatnot
love you're vids!.Always watch them before sleep ^^ you have amazing story telling voice. Could you do lore on Death in wow ? I remember you saying that you wanted to talk about it at some point if not mistaken I would love to know all about death in different races and and afterlife
seems more relevant today than ever with Sylvanas desiring to force all the living to serve Death .... what is it?
always nice to hear your voice after a very long day

Is Theradras dabbing in a thumbnail with Zaethar?
*When your children are lit*
TAUREN LORE!!! thank you
and we cant for get tracking that damn vendor for the cooking pat back in the day.
One of my fave classic zones always quested there because noone else did and fell in love over time lol only 2nd to netherstorm which is my fave
Oh man I remember grinding centaur rep back when I was a wee bab. Desolace is one of those places that isn't at all visually appealing but somehow still kept me there through sheer force of will lmao
Please do one of these videos for every zone in Vanilla or the entire game YES I AM GREEDY HOW DID YOU KNOW?!?
"Has anyone seen Rexxar"?
Oh god the nostalgia
Liked as soon as I saw the thumbnail
Keep it up Nobbel!
I forgot about this zone. I forgot about the centaur. I loved those old zones.
Wow love this indepth look at a zone i had no idea
I like these story things. Ive gone through Diablo lore just recently :'D
Burns satyr flesh...
Mark Zuckerberg pops out of the bushes...
"smokin' meats? I have some Sweet Baby Ray's.."
/CreepyFace
Twenty minute video and i still don't know who the hell Nijel is and why he is so great to have a town named after him.
I actually loved the zone.
Because it was so left out of life.
Another zone as life threatening was silithus.
I loved the design of it and though it makes sense that the zone has changed I really miss the old design.
It felt so hope depriving and so walking through it it felt like heroes facing a horrible reality but still going on with the belief things can be better.
Ah man I still love wow.
How about the story of Elwynn Forest? Would be a very nice nostalgic video for many i think ^^
Nice video. If winterspring is on your list do it as well.
do lore video on Winterspring!
Greenchili Studioz yes! Please!
Always liked this zone even in classic we used to have rep for the tribes back then and a faction QM and whilst it might have seemed desolate thus the name if you looked around you could still find interesting stuff and unspoiled areas.
That was great. Thanks man
one of my favorite zones in Classic
To this day, last part of maraudon, "pristine watters" as it is known, it's still the best looking part of any dungeon in wow for me
No mention of the Druids in the Cenarion wildlands using the forsaken plague against the naga?
Or the kodo graveyard?
Always loved this zone.
I might be the only person to say this, but I always thought Desolace was a gorgeous zone. Thanks for the lore.
gorgeous? is that really the right word? are you talking about the post-cataclysm desolace? it definitely looks better than old desolace which was essentially grey dust from top to bottom, east to west.
I'd love to see the story of Felwood, I've played since vanilla but somehow always glossed over that zone
watching your vids is the only wayfor me to see whats going on in wow since i left it
and heres another potential allied race for The Horde in the future
great job nobbel87 love the videos keep it up sir take care
wait, so if all centaurs are the sons and daughter of theradras, does that means that they went full Alabama after the death of their father ?
To be fair, literally every species on Earth formed in part by Alabama.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.... Except for this one... Dude
Damn!!! How did you post this a day after I was leveling in Desolace and thought "Wow I really want to know the lore of this place and Maraudon". Are you a TH-cam Ad algorithm? lol
I remember leveling herbalism and ending up in Desolace. I almost cried when I reached Feralas.
I hate centaurs. But THIS! This is some *JUICY* lore
Good job making the vid, keep up the good work
hey nobbel do u have a video on broll bearmantle or any other lore characters explmes being so oher key characters?
I've been playing since 2006, and the only time I've ever been to Desolace was for a Warlock quest...

same, tho there was a fun time for a bit when you could exploit that debuff that turned you too a demon, but we know how it goes with fun bugs.
10/10 best thumbnail
Uldum, it was an interesting zone. unfortunately we don't see anything from there anymore. it was the zone behind the wall, where nothing was known. it is ancient, so must have quite a history.
it has, because was a titan facility for the world reset button
You forgot the most important part.
NAT PAGLE.
Can you do a lore video on fel magic.
There's already like 100 videos about that on YT...
@@valc3849 yea but nobody makes a lore video like nobbel does
That's a good idea actually.What happened to fel, it used to heal wounds make you bigger and stronger, now it's just destruction magic.
Good job making me never want to summon my dreadsteed again, thanks.
Wow needs more love stories like this one.
Prolly makes sense why Desolace was chosen, Since no one goes to Desolace and most players don't know the Zone Story.
Am i wrong or not?
More videos for other zones!!
it's really cool seeing all of this stuff in the game ive literally never done and ive been playing since late BC. Still not gonna do it tho LMAO I'll just watch Nobbel ^^
Man I farmed that trinket back in the day as a tank and honestly hated it. Just the having to wear such old gear that would cause such spike damage to me without my other stats. Phew... glad to not be doing that anymore! Just killing all centaur instead....
I like the way you pronounced "Warug" it sounds much nicer with s little bit of Dutch pronunciation.
love his story time !!!!!!!♥
I Always wondered why maraudon was in there and all that.
Ohhh so this is how the centaurs were created
nothing on the giant snake skeleton?
I too wish to know what or who those Skeletons were at the start.
The zone that nobody wanted to do in Vanilla.
There were demons, naga, undead, centaur,burning blade and a bunch of beasts. But not a single questline that stood out.

What a sexy thumbnail.
Were the night elves in desolate prior to the Tauren being chased off? Or does the temple get built after the limited love affair?
I hope we can know some lore about Uldum & The halls of originations. I think we didn't see the last of it.
Ah, yes - Theradras, one of the great beauties of Azeroth!
Can you do the full video of Lor’themar Theron?

Youve gotten sloppy bud. Lol
Exactly why I watched the video xD But so far I don't think any information has been revealed on them.
@@getous thats truly upsetting to me. Because knowing blizzard they will find a way to ruin it 😔

Nobbel87can you do the lore of the silver covenant and high elves in the allianceand speculate on their future
Can you make a video about all schools of magic? Death,arcane,life etc..
I liked the old desolace. Maybe cause maraudon is an awesome dungeon
Can you do Cairne Bloodhoof?
On the to do list!
Wyndell Lee Cairne was a true hero, it's a real shame the fate he met in the shattering book. Coming from the Cairne server, it's so disappointing to see how spineless Baine is.
Killing him was one of Blizzard's biggest mistakes. It was the start of the Horde's downfall.
Zaethar and Theradras - still a better story than Twilight.
It would be interesting to know if at one point the princess actually was beutiful, not like a human would see her but a more primal beuty.
Her ugly look would come from the corruption from N' Zoth, since he seems to be behind most of the ancient bosses we fight.
i always thought it was called More-a-don, who knew.
My fav zone :D I love the old Desolace so much :D
I used to spell it like - Deso- Lassie (like Lasee, the name) and my friends used to say Desolacee (long)
OW THE NATURE RESIST GEAR FARM! :D Cheers for remembering it
2:56 Shouldn't the druids be worried about the giant sword? XD (yes I know it wasn't there in vanilla)
If they ever revamp the zones to BFA graphics, they should begin with this one.
