We're going home boys. We're going home
and girls.
Michael LeFavi Call me silly, but this actually made me cry.
silly.
Michael LeFavi WERE HEADED BACK BOYZZZZ!!!!!!
oh hell yes we are.....:')
I might divorce my wife, disown my children, quit my job and move back in with my parents to play this 24/7 again
Few steps ahead of ya 😂
It's like WoW takes a step back so the players do as well 😂
How was it?
the authentic WOW experience
it was all f*cking worth it, wasn't it!!!!!
"Sometimes the only way to move forward, is to go back"
A wise choice indeed.
"not the classic launch experience..." he was wrong !
lol
You obviously didnt play or remember. Other then que times it's been flawless.
Cause better services these days and he said.not the launch exp
jeh and welcome back in Q 9412.... still waiting.Classic is the best wow the need delet BFA servers!
Lol yep
Its been a long time, but we're coming back home!
So... 2 days in, i havn't been outside. I took 4 days off work just too "enjoy" the leveling and now I'm tired af waiting on ques.
I'm 31 and I hate myself.... haha
Robin Friberg respect to an OG
Who's watching this now that there are only 3 days until Classic launches??
Future me 3 days later: Damnit I'm in a 3 day queue line!
Can't wait to play wow from a period when it was an MMO
id say more like when it was an RPG...
branko2307 it’s currently an rpg but there is no community aspect hence the mm
The old style was more RPG I terms of leveling
@@branko2307 it was an MMORPG it had it all. Unlike todays game is basicaly a single player game that you can see other players standing or jumping around in.
Never played WoW in 2004, but I'm damn well playing it this time around!
4. DAYS. BOIS. AND. GIRLS!
I have never even played WoW but I can feel the audience's hype from here.
I tell ya when the original loading screen and music came up for the first time in many many years, it was an unreal feeling
never played classic nor vanilla at the time but this announcement never fails to give me goosebumps
What they didn't say is that it was going to take them 2 Years.
I wanted this in 2015 ..
oh yeah well I wanted this in 2014
I need to change my shorts
It's now Spring, 2019, and this still brings tears of joy for me. Who's with me?
I get a tear in my eye every time i see that damn dwarf.
You will have to work more than that for TIER in Vanilla buddy other than just lookin at the dwarfs ! LUL ^_^
@@doomzx8284 lol im fully aware of what needs to be done :).
@@Legion852 It was a joke because you wrote " TIER " in my eye instead of "TEAR" ... ^^
@@doomzx8284 Oh haha i didnt even notice the spelling lol ya ill fix that
Sad to see no one screamed Lok Tar or for the Alliance at the start... Where's the audience at
SUMMER 2019 BOYS!
I cant fucking wait man
@@Javlini Me too bro!
ya end of the summer probably
July 16
Inside with the a/c blasting! Let's go!
Man, i still cry when i go back to this video
ironic
Sat here watching this waiting for Classic TBC announcement on 19th February.
I remember when this came out “damn it’s gonna seem so far away” now we’re almost towards the end D: i’m only 16 but i love it
I swore I was never going back to WoW...but I played TBC for 2 days and already considering throwing my life away all over again
Isn't this the same guy who said "You think you do, but you don't." lol
@Genes yes it is
omfg today im 15 years old again and it feels breathtaking!!
As a non-wow player this is really confusing
Still to this day i almost tear up to this! :'D So excited.
4:40 red shirt guy is ready to smash the hammer of justice if this one fails.
I asked for this right after vanilla exspansions - let people decide if they want to keep playing vanilla or go for wortl..but they just answered that their ''vision'' is not to go backwards, now we are here.. so many years later.. and its 2 fucking late. RIP :( good old days raiding onyxia and lvl 70 pvp.. wow ill miss them!
It's never too late.
I genuinely believe that this will be the WoW killer.
no it wont be
I really hope that the classic community is bigger than the retail one, but you can be sure that most people will check out every update for retail if they are subscribed to play classic.
Nah. Classic has its humble charm and encourages more teamwork while you lvl BUT endgame is dulll. Retail endgame is fast paced and exhilerating. The sky is the limit to difficulty you want between mythic+ and raiding. The new dungeons are brilliant. I can play them over and over with alts! It also has tons of perks with customization. I've played both and even back then I was dreaming of a faster paced MMO that it finally became. A slow MMO like this won't suit today's attention spans but I am just happy we will have both options now.
“...not the ‘launch’ experience” 🤔
"Not the actual launch experience"...well you sir are a liar
wtf, who likes vanilla ice cream lol
This sounds awesome, but I have to admit I would’ve preferred TBC though because that’s where I have my fondest memories... but I can see that this is what is more sought by the community I guess
If this is a success you better believe there will be tbc servers
For the classic wow,I assembled a new PC the day before yesterday.
I think a pc from 2004 would've worked
I love how Brack had to eat the shit he spewed several years ago and announce Classic. For those who forget "You think you want it, but you really don't" followed by going on about how good WoW is now compared to vanilla (Its a shame it wasn't 2018s blizzcon, he'd have been laughed off the stage).
who's watching this while in queue
2:43 "pistachio!" lol fail
5 years later this announcement still gives me goosebumps...
Yeah it was great. Classic was great although not quite the same experience that it originally was but finally I got to finish my character and defeat KT etc.
Best version of the game to date
Indeed, same!
I am so happy for classic, I was able to enjoy Raiding each and every week from MC to the end of Naxx before TBC opened (I still play wrath/classic era) but during those days 2 years ago it was an amazing Journey.
5 Years later, I would like to have WoW Classic-Classic.
the moment he talked about ice cream, I was like *wait*
I was like "Wait. ARE THEY GOING TO DO THIS? ARE THEY?!"
@@hurricaneflorence7612 baaaait
I didn’t mean what I said I’m sorry
But I like nougat wtf why so many ppl like vanilla?
AND I OOP
“You think you do, but you don’t”
“Never mind”
He did not have the knowledge of a temporal discombobulator lol. I will cut him some slack. I also understand that it did feel like fans hated the new stuff. But that wasn't true. I still enjoy retail greatly. But damn a classic trip down memory lane. This was awesome.
I still wonder if he ever feels really stupid.
As well as everyone who posted that obnoxious wall of no.
@@NerdHerdForLife It doesn't matter. He was in an executive position then and even a higher executive position later on. When you reach these echelons, there are no "feelings" or "personal opinions" per se. It's all about metrics, and product, and MAUs and DAUs and profit margins and nothing else. Back then he didn't have the resources / metrics / anything to back up a response even remote to "perhaps this was something we could consider in the future". When he got the metrics, he switched his stance.
Remember people, there is a reason managers (in any sense of management. be it corporate or political or what-have-you) only care about graph charts and Excel sheets. These numbers are the ones that dictate how things are run for the rest of us.
im going to no life it again at 30 years old LOL
well, maybe at 32-33 years old since it seem to take years before they release it lol
Maybe 34 to 35 now...we will see lol
meme mafia Hopefully we'll hear more about it at blizzcon2018
Same here :D No LIFE no Girlfriend already dumped her! and finally old enough to understand everything hahaha
@@WeallAreAdults jeez, Im sad for you
I already have 96 hours logged... my wife doesn't know who I am anymore. I'm Tylord now. An Undead Rogue... and my guild needs me.
Off you go, you brave beautiful bastard :')
Yep any excuse to justify my playing
I want an update on Tylord
@@myemail2418 30 days logged. Level 60 ready for the dark portal to open. The adventure was long and dark but I pushed through. Met many friendly adventurers and fought many Alliance scum. Its been a wild ride that's for sure.
@@DeadlySkittleZ great! I look forward to Tylord updated. Hopefully wife is better with this now 😂
Thank you Nostalrius and Mike Morhaime, none of this would of happened without them.
Sai Wolf heroes
What I actually find funny is that the shutting down of Nost is what sparked so many people going to private servers. Yes, clearly Nost had a huge population but I didn't get into the private server scene until news of its closing and that this was a legit option. Played on another server but most everyone I played with switched to private servers because they heard the news of Nost.
They did it for money dude, they just wanted more income ofc, priv servers had nothing to do with it
You forgot mark kern
Yea, how dare a company make money off their work....
"Not the actual launch experience"
Haha nice joke man,you got me
Shit was probably super unstable back then with massive downtime. So I think he telling the truth.
It was, ques up to four figures were no exception. Start logging in, get up, get a cup of coffee, smalltalk with your friends on the phone and when you got back it was still over ten people in queue. But I have to admit I /m still played/ING like a mad woman 😎
WoW classic..on mobile.
What you dont have phones?
lmaooo fuckoff
Nathan haha that was so well put I love you for that comment
Hahahahaaha
Is this an out of season april fools joke?
Lmfao
Not even Blizz couldn't believe the success of WoW Classic...
Chewy.... We're home.
I promised myself I wouldn't cry. But I am crying.
It really was an epic approach how they said it. What a way to introduce the comeback of wow classic
Yeah, that gnome's words sounded like a public apology and admitting they were wrong xD
Regardless how you feel about the state of Classic, this is one of the greatest announcements in gaming convention history. The play on words with ice cream flavors was spot on
The ice cream metaphor has to be one of the hardest name drops of all time. Holy shit. I don't even like MMORPGs and this shit was hype.
I played Vanilla Beta.....I’ve played everything since.
It brings tears to my eyes thinking of sitting down with my son and wife to show them WoW Classic.
Can't lose your family if you get them to play Classic with you.
Smart move👌
dont share your personal problems here
The WoW player-base is about to explode.
BOm
Boom
Yup I left because of the pandas and class changes will be back 100% for this.
yea wow will lose much more players after this crap
@@Cofimaslisa lose players? WoW got more. Unless you're referencing retail, then yes.
"Hello darkness my old friend..."
I've come to talk to You again....
Naaaaaaah... Let's get some death metal and Linkn park in the house! We need some era-appropriate PvP music up in here!!
299th like.
@@theeatherlash69 fucking rogues
No game has had me tear up before, that changed when I saw the announcement. And after rewatching this 40 times, I still get the same feeling.
I will say I stopped playing WoW after the Wrath really as I didn’t enjoy Cat but this is exciting and I will once again log in. I haven’t logged in accord to my blizzard account since 2011 or something it’s quite crazy. To play that is
For real!
cornball...
I was stuck grinding in that crazy cave in Silverpine for a single darksoul shackle for over half an hour. I thought to myself, "you know they should really increase the drop rate just a little bit."
Then I stopped and said, "NO! That is the first step toward BFA."
Never Forget
I never was a serious WoW player, and I observe it more from the outside, but I did play most recently in Classic and I remember I did what you're talking about. I love Silverpine so much, despite it being a pain in the ass to complete the quests (to me). I looked up what you talked about, and I remembered doing that quest and how Sepulcher quests made me frustrated and how then I saw I need to form parties but couldn't bother, so I left the game once again. lol It seems you can't go after around lvl 15 all alone anymore. Party system makes me feel a bit awkward. hah
@@ninaj6051 In all honesty man, i was so excited for classic. And now, i am playing lich king.
Personally, i also love retail. I have invested so much time into retail as well, since vanilla was out back in the day, but it is nice to have the middle ground of classic again. The thrills man. It was great. And i have played every single version of the game so far also.
Retail still has some fun to be had, you just have to work harder to find it. Wrath classic launches in a few days, and dragonflight looks interesting, with the talk of hybridity and new class designs. Hybridity and the over al class designs in general, and the old overworld was gone in retail. You had to give up so much to go forward. So it is nice to go back to the way the game used to be, while still dealing with all the good things retail has brought over the years. I feel it is important to give credit where credit is due.
I never did get to 60 in time in classic, although i am finnaly ready for wrath classic when it launches. Wrath was my favorite version. Not to hardcore, not to softcore. It was just right.
so blizzard agrees they lack vision every time they denied the player base
Yup
yeah, this one was especially satisfying because J. Allen is the guy who said "you think you do, but you don't" when asked about adding the servers. So when Chromie says "SOMEONE told you you cannot go home" she was referring to the guy announcing the trailer, so satisfying
@@bellaciaolinvasorsocialist4732 all they need is the cinemetic Crew and the Accounting Office LUL
Incorrect. What they're showing here is that they as a big company as they are had the balls to admit they were wrong.
@@chottomatte7424 you made a progressive Point here
the second they announce when classic is coming out, i'm going straight to my boss to schedule 2 weeks off work.
2 weeks? You are not even gonna reach lvl 30 in that time bruh xD
That's why I retired.
level 30 LOL? it takes more than 2 weeks to get to level 30 in vanilla 2 weeks at level 30 is casual bfa
wtf are you on about, you can take lvl30 in 4 days casualy playing.
@@Myworld091 Not in Vanilla you won't.
Classic was better than TBC
It's hard to imagine that the same company announced a WoW Vanilla server and a year later Diablo Immortal.
You think you do, but you dont!
haha yea literally the dumbest thing he has ever said imo seeing how insanely popular the private servers were for such a long period of time... Active for 10 years with a huge player base the entire time. Says something for sure that classic had that current wow doesn't.
Someone once said " you think you do but you don't " but they lacked vision
@@gahmivolka Vanilla servers will be dead 3 months after re-release
@@Obsolete386 lol
@@Obsolete386 thats why old school runescape is the top dog among rune scape right?
"you think you do, but you don't" ... Hilarious that he makes the wow classic announcement
The only thing Blizzard has got right in years.
WRONG
"Fans of Diablo around the world, we hear you".
Yeah, imagine that happen!
More than Classic WoW or any other game I want another Diablo that will truly rival Diablo II.
Snö Gubbe Im not a fan of Diablo even tho I played it but I can feel you so hard xD
i would pay 200$€ for it ☺️
I think: shut up and take my money! I want go back in the year 2004/5!
anyone else came back here after knowing classic is only 2 weeks away lol :)
Me here, got to know it just a few days ago, it will be my longest 2-week wait in my life.
I'm here everyday
Servers Will lag and crash Will probaly take another week before u Can get in
@@testbravoyt3058 Depends on the time you play, the majority of players are adults with full-time jobs. I'm sure during the evenings there will be hours of queues, but not as many players in the morning or afternoon.
yeah
Too bad ppl took classic way too serious
And just like that, I wasted another 5 years of my life playing WoW. For some reason, I wouldn’t change it for the world.
I had basically entirely stopped playing WoW mid legion. Literally the DAY I heard about classic I INSTANTLY felt "the itch" return. 5 years later and still loving WOTLK
this brings tears to my eyes, im 21 but ive played wow ever sense BC and always wanted to experience wow the way my dad and step brother did, its been such an amazing time and ive met so many friends and made so many memories, now off to wrath after all this time....
The same guy that said "You think you do, but you don't" in regards to wanting Classic WoW.
4:40 Now that is a textbook WoW player.
Back after the Beta stress tests. Thank you blizzard for giving me the game i fell in love with back
We're home! And it's beautiful!
Props to J. Allen Brack for doing this announcement. He could have sent anyone else, and yet he faced it and did it himself.
Alas.... no more flying mounts, easiness, worthless gold compilation, cross realm dungeon finder (making realm identity obsolete), bland talent trees , No more nerfing classes, making everything so easy and the world so much smaller down to 1/10000th of what it was.
We want HARD! WE WANT HOURS IN ALTERAC VALLEY BATTLES!! We want the old Rank 14 pvp titles, we WANT it to take months to afford epic ground mounts!! We want the old community where you need to go to /general to find other players to do elite quests with!!, we miss barrens chat and being ganked/doing the ganking!!! We miss the old lands layout with only the two islands of Kalimdor and Azeroth!
We WANT to travel back to our class trainers to learn new SPELLS every other level!! We want it so bad! We want the old beautiful talent trees where we could customize our characters and shape them to our fitting!
Exit : Legion
Enter : Vanilla
Vanilla wasn't hard. It just had a lot more thought and care put into it.
This gave me chills man. I can not wait to begin putting together group for dungeons and the feel of accomplishment when you get your firts epic. Not like this bullshit. And most important - no fcking heirlooms!!! and no fcking dungeon finder!!
Did you actually play Vanilla? Or were you incredibly freaking young when it was around? They DID nerf classes, and they did it all of the time, don't you remember "World of Roguecraft" where they showed the fact that Rogues with level 1 daggers and no gear could stunlock everyone into submission including the best geared warriors and paladins? Or when they buffed mages allowing them to blink around everyone and 'Pom/pyro - ZHC+ToEP' one shot everyone including warriors and paladins? They then buffed warriors and paladins to the point where any time a warrior or paladin passed by you with Ashkandi and or Untamed Blade it didn't matter your class, they were going to kill you in one or two shots...Then they took it all way and it went back and fourth, back and fourth, it never stopped...Then they added the PVP weapons, so every Shaman would drop a windfury totem and stunlock you to death with unstoppable force..
Vanilla was fucking broken as shit, it wasn't fixed, it wasn't harder, it was a bad game. People claiming how much better it was fall into two groups, they either didn't actually play during vanilla and just talk about how great it was because they came in during Burning Crusade, or they dwell on the past with nostalgia goggles stuck on their faces and don't actually remember how awful it was.
There was nice things about it, but for every nice thing like Naxx 40, the opening of AQ gates, Alterac Valley, there was 20 awful things, like greedy players, horrible "DKP" system, and trolls that would take legendary items and quit their guild. You guys miss it now, but after a few months, you will remember how shitty it was.
@@systematik I'm not excited at all about Classic server. I didn't play Vanilla but it looks like crap. Just looking on youtube at the class specs and Learning that many of them were useless makes me have an idea of how shitty it was.
@@DarKodama They were not useless. They were not optimal, but you could make it through MC and maybe BWL with a group of totally non-optimal players, if everyone knew what they were doing. And some of the non-optimal builds were easier to play, so for an average player, without mad keyboard skills, having an Elemental Shaman (say) in a group doing consistently mediocre dps, but also buffing his party, was better than having them playing one of the optimal builds badly. We raided with a feral druid off tank. Usually we were fine. We thought it was fun getting our group of misfit toys as far as we could.
I don't know what to tell you. WoW was much more casual back then, not everyone wanted to be "The Best". You played what you enjoyed playing and got as far as you could. Until you got well into BWL the numbers threshold was not that high. And if you got serious, that was the point you optimized your character for raiding ,and rolled another misfit toy alt for fun.
Sure the top guilds kicked people out if they were not optimal, but most guilds were chuffed to make it to 40 people who wanted to raid on the same nights.
With the way all the classic servers are filling up and the fact they have to add new servers, we may get to relive the launch experience lol
It just means Blizzard's expectations have been easily blown away. It's potential is far greater than they realized
it means many will try it and many will quit finding out how easy the gameplay was, and that it was just time consuming.. time wich not everyone has anymore these days. besides unless people think its fun getting forced into 4 usefull specs they will be dissapointed really badly xD and yes i played vanilla i prefer to keep it as a good memory instead of letting it be destroyed by the toxic community we got today

OMG 2021 company is dieing
Classic and TBC were some of my fondest memories in my adult life. I got to experience that which i adored so much as a kid.
I can only imagine how it feels to watch 3:14 as an OG wow player of 10+ years.
I haven't played a second of wow, but just imagining the same kind of cinematic for one of my games made me somewhat emotional.
Rewinding 10 years and watching all the metas and expansions go past in a few seconds... wow... jus wow...
Dude you have absolutely no idea. No idea. I still tear up like a kid watching this.
I started playing wow in Original TBC, Just before BT went live. Around 16 YEARS now playing wow. That "trailers in reverse" is awesome.
I started playing at 8 years old and now I’m 20 years old, I never got to experience vanilla WoW but I will get to now 😀😭
