In Cataclysm, this zone became a soup. It has everything, especially after it was merged with Alterac Mountains. I still can't understand why they did not revamp the Alterac Mountain zone to include the Alterac Valley in it. They did not know what to do with it, since there aren't quests present there (we just go there during the Winter Veil for one quest). Regarding the quests (only for the Horde side), most of them are brutal, especially the Sludge Fields one. Ah, and some stupid quests, bugged and uncalled for (e.g.: fawn quest). Also, some quest rewards essentially are the same. If you want to see the Classic version of this video (old video): th-cam.com/video/bSz_18RVXbI/w-d-xo.html Did you enjoy this video?

I come from mainland China, a place where playing games is considered a sin. But in the 18 years of playing WOW, I met my wife and countless friends. To me, it's not just a game, it's a part of my life. Last year, we lost our server, and there seems to be very little hope of it coming back. Listening to this music, I deeply wish I could return to that world once again.Thank you Meisio.
Several of my friends went to the Asian server, but more of them chose to AFK. To me, it's not about the game, it's more about the memories we have, the things we have done, it feels like everything has been left there. The Asian server is great, but it just doesn't feel like home.@@Stalker950-l3x

I started playing on a steam deck a few weeks ago. It´s flexible and just magical. It replaced my no longer existing gaming pc and fulfilled my desire to play WoW again.
This was where my and brother started a huge battle. We were fighting Horde ganks and we were ganking their guys. It started small. Then they called a friend or 2. We called in a few of our buddies. Then more hordes appear. More and more of our guild came. Soon the entire guild, whoever was online, came down. Then them hordies got bigger, other guilds came down too, and Alliance players that happened to came by. Pretty soon, even "legendary" server Alliance players decked in full PVP wargear started appearing. Folks I used to stare in awe in Auction Houses. We were astonished. Mind you, this was in 1.4 or 1.6, PVP wargear were brand new things. It was a full on campaign, the fight was EVERYWHERE, corpses strewn about. At one point, the 2 sides were facing off. EPIC. Then an arrow or spell was thrown and everyone charged in. WAY BETTER than any of the Battlegrounds. Couldnt believe it started because we were pissed some horde ganks caught me when I was looting for quest.
The changes Cataclysm brought were strange. I get some mechanics were to become better, both in terms of character development and world-hosted dynamics (quest, flow, story .. etc). Yet, Hillsbrad was always a zone that had a flicker of freedom, where the player was let loose to explore, mob, or level professions, more that the others ... a necessary filler of sorts. I've not been there for long, although I respected it, since it was the first (or second, after Duskwood) contested area my toons really showed up in. Oh well .. I'd really be ready to spend that amount of time again, here, both is pre and post-Cataclysm. Thanks, Meisio!
Just as in the real world, not all corners of Azeroth are all-the-way pretty. But this video shows lovely bits of that.. "soup". Thank you very much for your work again! Have a really nice week - as we do now, having this video! With love, p.
Thank you for your work i love it reminds me of the good old days much appreciated friend the legacy of vanilla continues thanks to all your hard dedication work. ✌
Cataclysm is when they ruined these zones alongside the undead. All the tesla ball shenanigans and halloween buildings they made to represent the undead was terrible imo.
It was needed imo, i didnt mind the change. Leveling got hundreds of times better aswell. Things evolve, kinda glad they did it. Ive been around since march 2005 and still playing, both versions. :D

Hey meisio is it possible to maybe put these as podcasts on Spotify? I drive a lot and Spotify is what I'm able to use
Thank you for years of dedication to cozy music, my friend and I use your music while studying all the time!

Why don´t you just join another server?

I'm sorry, I replied several times but they were all deleted.@@Stalker950-l3x
All this music makes me wish I could spend all my time escaping into that world again.

Playing WoW on a larger version of a gameboy? Yay.
Oh man, the undedicated PVP zone of vanilla. The lag was also massive almost every night.😂

сongrats on 40k subscribers! your channel has become a sweet home for me, to which I want to return again and again:)
Nothing quite kicks me in the nostalgia like the part of the music at 1:45. Oof.

I agree

The biggest issue with cataclysm is that they removed vanilla from the game with no way of returning. Not until Classic was released 9 years later.
hey brother would u mind putting those on spotify as podcast ?
This. I would unironically listen much more if this was done.
