This particular video is powerful to me as a long time WoW player. Most of these Nostalrius ending videos have music. This one however, with the raw audio of crying and incessant spell casting, is chilling. For any WoW players I think this is truly like watching a world and it's inhabitants waiting at it's last moments for certain doom without hope. They all gathered, abandoning all pointless individual desires, to be together at the final moment of the end of the world. It's unnerving to see it all fade instantly to a login screen forever inaccessible accept through videos like this. Thanks for sharing this.
+BetterBody90 As sad as this video is. It made me wonder will this eventually happen to the retail servers? But then I realized. Even if this did happen to the retail servers, WoW has become loved enough to where it will live forever. Nostalrius may be dead but you can be sure that its twin private server is already up and running or will be soon. And with that said this game will probably be around for many generations to come.
+BetterBody90 I stop playing wow a few years back and i had no idea this server was around .. but when i heard the story and seen how much of a strong following this server had ... just to have it shut down like that.... its... its just wrong... just wrong .. and no way to treat real supporters of the wow game ... Allen Adham, Michael Morhaime, and Frank Pearce are responsible for.... this... this ...murder.. this .. execution... blinded by there own carelessness and greedy corporatism .... and blizzard wonder why they are losing profits... now they will wonder why they lost there whole company....
+Skulkesyk Andersen, true enough. The current WoW can't even be compared to what it used to in vanilla and TBC (and wotlk) times. Now the game is so focused on the solo playing, that it's simply not fun anymore. People just sit in their Garrison and use the queues to find groups, while in the vanilla and TBC WoW you actually had to search people to do stuff. Sure, the vanilla WoW and TBC weren't perfect, we all know that But they sure hell were at least 10 times better than the current WoW is. Curse you Blizzard for slowly turning your (rough) diamonds into abomination, curse you !
+bob Blinded by Nostalgia ? There were little players overall on Nostalrius that had actually played Vanilla. So the Nostalgia argument goes away. Private servers ? How could one play Vanilla on retail, since they do not give such option ? And finally, Blizzard starts to give a fuck. We'll see the next Blizzcon what they'll say about it.
I started playing in TBC, took a break then moved on to WotLK, and I noticed the general pattern they were taking with the game and stopped. Never played vanilla, was too young at the time to afford a subscription and my parents wanted me to stop playing games altogether. Nost was the best online experience I have ever had. This is coming from someone with 15 years of online play.
+Wew Lad I'm almost in the same situation as you are, only that I temporarily went back to WoW for just a little bit (I think it was MoP or so). But generally, I completely agree with you, I enjoyed Nostalrius so damn much and would be devastated if Blizz won't announce anything Vanilla related for the near future in November (even though the chances are, imo, quite slim :/ )
agreed. I've played wow for 10 years vanilla-mop and Nostalrius has been the best time playing wow during that span, unfortunately i was too young to fully experience vanilla, i was never max level, even in tbc and wrath. But there is something about vanilla wow that just brings a community together, i've never experienced anything like it in all my days playing wow. I regret not fully experiencing the earlier expansions , but I'm just glad to have been a part of Nostalrius. I'll cherish the memories :) but i'm still sad about it..
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
+NJPwN I played Lineage 1 North American servers all the way up until they were officially shut down in June of 2011. Having been there when that final "You have been disconnected." message showed up, it really sucks. Not because you just lost a game to play or whatever, but because of the connections you have lost to people you played with.
+baboje91 Evening know that they can still keep connnected through social media still doesnt feel like it will be the same. I never played on that server unfortunately and still felt some of that pain they all experienced.
I was part of this server. It was not fun at all man... I remember I hit 60 for the first time in THIS server. So many memories. For me , this WAS my Vanilla experience.
Even though I have never played on this server, it sounds like a lot of people loved it. Honestly, watching this video actually gave me some intense feelings. I know, I'm a big baby but honestly, WoW has become such a big thing in people's lives that the people that play this game, on this server, have been part of an amazing community. It's really sad to see all the news and videos about this. I used to like Blizzard but now, no. The disconnected server ending just, it really hit me for some reason. rip Nostalrius ;(
+rusko dudesko No they are hurting their company the reason they did it was because current WOW is lacking. What they should have done was made a vanilla type version like this server so these ppl could enjoy the game instead of going behind Blizzards back and doin it for free. I hope Blizz has learned something from this, since they made current WOW a joke. I felt sorry cuz I started watching "Sword art online" lol they're all dead.
+goodbuylief I never knew about this server and Im so sad I never did. It made me sad just cause I know how fun it is to play the game with other people and that a good community is key, so seeing that DC was terrible. Fuck off Blizz
@@exodiatheforbiddenone8228 less bots, less lags, better economy, better Support,more players, big pvp events without Server crashing, world wide Server....
THESE people right here (Blizz take note) are the true essence of WOW, THESE people carry with them the spirit of what made WOW so great and is now lost.
+dSCHUMI1004 They can, a lot of the people who played on nostalrius were the same people that put up with years of bugs and exploits so that the people that play now don't have to experience them. A lot of them were the same people that helped to make the game as successful as it is. This is why I can't stand when people bash alpha and beta players, without them, you wouldn't have as good of a game as you do. Same applies for vanilla and tbc players. Without them, where would the game be? They feel a passion for what the game was, and don't like the current iteration. I say they perfectly represent the essence of World of Warcraft.
+dSCHUMI1004 Really?! I went through BETA and early release - we WERE the REAL WOW! What you have today is just brain dead minions who will accept anything Blizz shoves at them!
kewl bron I stopped seriously playing in Cata. Since then I have pretty much just been hoping for it to return to glory. I have to say, WoD makes me miss even Cataclysm at this point. That is something I never thought I would say.
There are more players in one area than there ever was on retail WoW. Almost as if the private servers are actually better at handling large number of players than Blizzards official servers.
TheMagache I was kinda guessing. But looking at s7 plus specs and what was around on computers 5 years ago when i7 had come out for a couple years. I think s7 would do better in most benchmarks
Even though Blizzard is technically within their legal right to do this, I could not help but feel anger at them while watching for what they've done. These weren't people trying to weasel Blizzard out of their due but rather people looking for a foregone experience Blizzard is no longer willing to sell them. This version of WoW harkens back to an era of Blizzard when they were a small and passionate developer that lived to entertain their fans. How low they've fallen becoming a soulless mechanism for profit on Activision's spreadsheet.
+Katie Persons to simply put what u just said , blizzard was mad because they fucked up their game and other people who were repairing their mistakes must be stopped because it would show how blizzard is getting lower in standards
I'd be fine with shuttering the private vanilla server if Blizzard was willing to sell me a legacy realm of their own. The problem is they aren't. Blizzard is being like George Lucas, crying about people watching the Star Wars Despecialized edition while simultaneously refusing to offer his originals for those wanting to buy it.
If I was trying to sell my own work but people were pirating it instead to avoid spending money you're absolutely right I wouldn't like it. But if people are pirating a particular piece my work because I'm not making it available for purchase then I'd probably just... I don't know. Make it available for purchase! And make MONEY while doing it! As opposed to being a whiny bitch about it.
i played nost from the first day it opened until its last. It was the greatest wow experience I have ever had. These last 5 minutes were very sad. It is strange to admit that a video game has never emotionally effected me like when nost shut down.
Today is the launch day of WOW Classic. Thank you guys for showing Blizzard how much we love this version of the game. Today probably wouldn’t be possible without your hard works. Thank you all!
@@RZAJW classic wow in my opinion didnt have the same feel that nostalrius did. nostalrius had better servers too and didnt crash during a world pvp event
Playing on this server was insane. Starting zone was mobbed with people and you would think you would hate it but no. It felt so alive and worth every second.
Nostalrius wasn't just about playing a version of WoW that we all knew and loved, it was about reliving being part of the newest grand vision of a company whose games had been nothing but joyous for us up until then. The current state of retail World of Warcraft and the way Blizzard dares to tell US what we should think is fun is all you need to know that those days are all gone now.
That quote from that blizzard employee ("you don't want vanilla servers, you think you do, but you don't") is the core of the whole problem. People who now work at blizzard genuinely don't like the vanilla experience. They are the type of people who want their games to be exactly that: simple games, not experiences that require time and hardships to go through like vanilla WoW. And because they are like that, they think everyone is. Let's hope Nostalrius proved them wrong...
+Nathan Longhair That was glorious, I remember it well. Not only did two of the world servers go down constantly (the instance and kalimdor servers) the Eastern Kingdoms server mostly worked fine. But the bugs were hilarious! 10/10 Would crash into the stonetalon mountains by accident , half a continent away, again.
0:43 "Muteme" in chat lol that's me, been spamming some random stuff for about 2 hours there. Ran all the way to Ironforge from Teldrassil as lvl 1 elf druid, died so many times but had some help on the way from high levels ;)
*sighs* I can't stop rewatching this, simply because of the sheer *agony* that I experience from waiting for that final server disconnect, and when it does...I can't help but feel my heart shatter.
I personally don't like WoW it's not the game for me (both Original and current iteration) But this is still very sad to see So many people playing what they love and to have it taken away by a corporation so out of touch with it's own fanbase It's just sad.........
spread the word use hastag #blizzardsdead in support of Nostalrius's memory and the death of our beloved game. ALEXSTRAZZA STATE ALCHEMIST FTW!!!!!! -REDIVH
Its official. Blizzard hates fun. No wonder they only reward us once a week when loot might have chance to drop from raid. Rest of the game is just grinding without other purpose.
1:40 "April Fools!" HA! I wish! ...but seriously this was a kick in the crotch to all the fans who loved what WoW *used* to be, and who had the balls to do something about it.
Anyone come back here to witness what death looks like in order to appreciate life? Might be a weird metaphor, but this is more life on one screen that alot may think. RIP Nostalrius.

I haven't played WoW for about 5 years now. And this is truly the saddest video in the entire internet. I felt like huge part of my childhood was erased in one moment...
For people who don't know what was happening. Blizzard shut down Nostalrius , What is Nostalrius ? Blizzard kept on updating WOW from Classic, TBC, Lich King, Panderia, and so on, Blizzard never realized that providing updates dosent mean all old players may like it - so Nostalrius gave Home to the players who loved to play on classic WoW. It was a great server, in fact it never lagged even with a 40 Man raid, and the Billzard servers did lag. The Admins were responsive and took awesome care for it. Nostalrius which had left Great memories for over 150000 Accounts and just over 32 Lakhs characters. It was a Happy emotion taken away by Blizzard in a harsh manner. Nostalrius .. Deep down in History !! Respect to those Admins and Volunteers.
It took a sacrifice of a great private server to actually remind blizzard that they have to listen to their fanbase. Your sacrifice made wow classic real, thank you guys.
that awkward moment when the Nostalrius server was more stable and could handle large world PvP better than any of the classic servers made by the multi million dollar company......
I feel like Blizzard is acting like Arthas right now. They had a great passion and love for making video games. But the sales had been declining, like when Arthas discovered the plague, and both went mad and do anything to satisfy themselves, including deleting Nostalrius so they can get more money (or something like that), or like when Arthas purged an entire city so the plague wont spread. Its just a matter of time before blizzard went full lich king. I, as a former Warcraft 3 player, just hope the upcoming movie dont suck.
I think that is what it would look like if an asteroid was bound to hit earth and obliterate it completely... the sound of people crying, kissing, even laughing and then nothing, upmost chilling silence. Feels.
to anyone seeking real authentic Vanilla - Lights Hope's Whitekidney FRESH coming out this year. 1K+ people in discord already in 1 day. Private servers are returning in full force and there's no stopping it. Hop in on the hype train boys. It's time to play real Vanilla on an international server with lit World PvP and an active community over the dogshit layered, bot-infested trash that is Classic SOM.
1:30 " nearer god to thee " T_T Please why would Blizzard do something like this? World of Warcraft have been experiencing sub lost, wouldn't it be more on their interest to keep this server alive for the sake of popularity reasons? didn't they anticipate the rage it would fall on the players? what if Legion fails to draw the crowd because of this move? ... it's very puzzling..

That "Disconnected from server" was so jarring and empty it almost gave me chills

That was like watching Titanic sinking with thousands of people just vanishing in a moment.
i saw more people in this vid than in my 1 year playing WOW

This was my last experience playing WoW since starting as a 7 year old with my brother in 2004 :) Will always miss it!
And now Nostalrius and the Vanilla crowd are fully vindicated.
Nostalrius is dead! Long live Nostalrius!
Wish i had known about this server sooner. damn blizzard being a cocktease again.
nearly 3 years ago. Now we get real classic, so it turned out pretty good. Nostalrius died for a greater purpose
Its official. Blizzard hates fun.
No wonder they only reward us once a week when loot might have chance to drop from raid. Rest of the game is just grinding without other purpose.
this description more accurately describes vanilla than legion....
P.S. Blizzard we ain't done yet
we're the subscribers so fix your game
...
...
Teach you a lesson and take back Nostalrius.
Cant imagine the feels for capped players when you see that disconnect message and realize its all over
+CALISUPERSPORT ikr
+CALISUPERSPORT ...and then you blink and realize it's just a game. Phew!
+Csoery duh
The journey is the fun part tbh.
RIP nostalrius. We will do everything to revive you, just like Sam and Dean revive eachother!
+Loreta Zariņa Since I quit wow I have watch all the things I missed.
1:40 "April Fools!" HA! I wish!
...but seriously this was a kick in the crotch to all the fans who loved what WoW *used* to be, and who had the balls to do something about it.
Damn, I actually cried. Never played on a private server. But, the nostalgia and the amount of love for a dead and good game hit home.
Looks like sharding is really necessary!! Anything to save Activizzard money on servers. ;)
You don't give the playerbase what they want, you think you do, but you don't.
Damn I wish I heard about this server sooner, I truly miss vanilla. A hell of a lot better than the crap now
+Pissed Off Papa It were up for only a couple months..
+Pissed Off Papa whenever I logged on there were on average 15k players online, just on the pvp server alone. It was awesome.
You think you want vanilla but you don't in blizzards eyes.
I was Raziya, 60 nelf hunter.
RIP Nostalrius.
you guys ready to get back into the game yet? nost is coming back baby!
Yeah boii
Mazxlol When??
17th
Marco S The fresh server? Or the old ones?
Nostalrius se ha despedidó en el año 2016, si estabas abriendo el juego estabas escuchando a cientos de personas llorar.
Y así se despidió nostalrius.
Words cannot describe how beautiful this is.
Anyone come back here to witness what death looks like in order to appreciate life? Might be a weird metaphor, but this is more life on one screen that alot may think. RIP Nostalrius.
the tears within me are over whelming..... T^T
Seeing this now as classic is taking gaming by storm.
Wow this was literally like watching someone take their last breath before they die....Love this game so much what a shame
Stopped playing 5 months ago knowing this day will come.
I've been there for shut down of 2 servers now, Nostalrius and Light's hope Northdale. 20 more hours until classic wow releases. Feels good.
Man this is so sad :(
This particular video is powerful to me as a long time WoW player. Most
of these Nostalrius ending videos have music. This one however, with the
raw audio of crying and incessant spell casting, is chilling. For any
WoW players I think this is truly like watching a world and it's
inhabitants waiting at it's last moments for certain doom without hope.
They all gathered, abandoning all pointless individual desires, to be
together at the final moment of the end of the world. It's unnerving to
see it all fade instantly to a login screen forever inaccessible accept
through videos like this.

Thanks for the words bro.
You think you want my money...but you don't.
You think you do but you really really do
that silence, those cries....#trynottocry
I haven't played WoW for about 5 years now. And this is truly the saddest video in the entire internet. I felt like huge part of my childhood was erased in one moment...
For people who don't know what was happening.
Blizzard shut down Nostalrius ,
What is Nostalrius ?
Blizzard kept on updating WOW from Classic, TBC, Lich King, Panderia, and so on, Blizzard never realized that providing updates dosent mean all old players may like it - so Nostalrius gave Home to the players who loved to play on classic WoW.
It was a great server, in fact it never lagged even with a 40 Man raid, and the Billzard servers did lag. The Admins were responsive and took awesome care for it.
Nostalrius which had left Great memories for over 150000 Accounts and just over 32 Lakhs characters.
It was a Happy emotion taken away by Blizzard in a harsh manner.
Nostalrius .. Deep down in History !! Respect to those Admins and Volunteers.
"GuYs wE nEeD ShArDinG FoR ClaSSic wOw wILL mAkE iT SmOOtHER"
is it wierd that i cried a little.
+Dylan Yes.
no
no
not at all
Although this was officially illegal... this is sad... very sad. Wtf Blizzard? What have you done? wow...
Still miss it.
It took a sacrifice of a great private server to actually remind blizzard that they have to listen to their fanbase. Your sacrifice made wow classic real, thank you guys.
And then they ruined it
RIP wow 2004 you'll always be miss!
that awkward moment when the Nostalrius server was more stable and could handle large world PvP better than any of the classic servers made by the multi million dollar company......
Liked how all the Chinese weren't online
this is how i felt when BC came out.
the feels bro... I'm crying in the inside rn
I feel like Blizzard is acting like Arthas right now. They had a great passion and love for making video games. But the sales had been declining, like when Arthas discovered the plague, and both went mad and do anything to satisfy themselves, including deleting Nostalrius so they can get more money (or something like that), or like when Arthas purged an entire city so the plague wont spread. Its just a matter of time before blizzard went full lich king. I, as a former Warcraft 3 player, just hope the upcoming movie dont suck.
i had a little gathering at the night elf start at the final moments
I think that is what it would look like if an asteroid was bound to hit earth and obliterate it completely... the sound of people crying, kissing, even laughing and then nothing, upmost chilling silence.
Feels.
"You think you do, but you don't."
Never forget.
to anyone seeking real authentic Vanilla - Lights Hope's Whitekidney FRESH coming out this year. 1K+ people in discord already in 1 day. Private servers are returning in full force and there's no stopping it. Hop in on the hype train boys. It's time to play real Vanilla on an international server with lit World PvP and an active community over the dogshit layered, bot-infested trash that is Classic SOM.
When Thanos gets the infinity stones and shreds this universe to it's last atom
Lovely last touch from the player who typed april fool in the last seconds..
the last second some guy said "APRIL FOOLS" xD
What kind of futuristic technology are they using? no way current WoW server can handle this without Sharding...
Goodnight, sweet prince...
Damn Shaco always ganking in every game.
I was in representative off all horde. We could say as an Ambassador.
2 years later and this still makes me sad - and I didn’t even play on Nostalrius.
That was very unsettling..... very very disturbing... I'm sorry this happened to the WoW community
1:30 " nearer god to thee " T_T Please why would Blizzard do something like this? World of Warcraft have been experiencing sub lost, wouldn't it be more on their interest to keep this server alive for the sake of popularity reasons? didn't they anticipate the rage it would fall on the players? what if Legion fails to draw the crowd because of this move? ... it's very puzzling..
+Schubert Aloysius I think the numbers will be way down.
INVICTUS! UNCONQUERED! WE HAVE VICTORY! WE DID WANT IT!
know the feeling too well RIP COH !!!!
when did 8 years went along .... just like that in a snap of a finger.....it's almost unreal
Hello everyone. Classic servers are coming back!
