WoW is the closest thing we have to time travel. You play it for 5 minutes, and 10 years go by.
+DC3893 LOL
+DC3893 If I could I would go back in time just to play it again in it's prime. We would be gods with all the knowledge we have gained.
I read your comment (was written 2 hours ago) then started to write this reply, forgot to hit reply
so I went to play a BG and came back to hit the reply button
:D
I guess I'll play it for another 5 minutes then :D
Can't wait to play WoTLK Classic in 2022
In a year or 2.
are they going to do that? like run the game all over again on retail servers?
@@Martinsuki they have no confirmed plans for the future of classic past phase 6 as of yet. Going TBC and then WotLK is but one of possible variants, nothing more. Blizzard is currently concentrated on delivering classic
@@chikavugla for burning crusade yes wotlk 4 6 years
I would LOVE it if they did this. WoTLK is my absolute favourite expansion and Classic WoTLK servers would be a dream come true.
Still waiting for new dances, blizzard.
zombieowner66666 auhehuaehaheahuehauehauhe
zombieowner66666 Conga, lads!
Still.... Waiting.....
And ..... still....
who said that? how u know
I love how this is recomended to me in 2019, the old WoW official cinematics look like todays fan made cinematics haha, I love it!
*"that guy" trigger warning*
This is not a cinematic, just a trailer made on game engine. Cinematics are fully CG
If memory serves me right, they hired one of the fans who made machinima like this to be head of in game cinematics or something. I may be partly wrong, but pretty sure that happened.
They actually hired several guys during vanilla/BC time frame who created some decent fan made videos with this exact style. I have no idea how theyre doing now but they did a lot of the cutscenes or promo's you would see leading up to WOTLK for sure.
worse
OrphandJones yeah and a lot of youtubers do big movie type videos with this same style, pretty cool.
IM STILL PISSED ABOUT THE NEW DANCES
Someone give this man a cookie. I demand my new dances...
I'm still waiting for flying machines in wintergrasp.
me too
C'Thun Hello I see...You're still alive.
I still remember the day this released.
I was just sitting at home, on my laptop. It was after school, and I'd finished all of my work for the day so I was just relaxing, playing WoW and talking with my buddies about how awesome Wrath was going to be. They'd already started playing and I hadn't even pre-ordered the expansion, so I was just running around leveling.
My dad walks in, home from work, and comes right into the den where I was hanging out with my brother and shows me a bag. Inside was the white box, the physical copy of the expansion. I couldn't believe it. I didn't think he'd pre-ordered it for me, or that he was even aware it was out, but he knew I absolutely loved WoW and bought the expansion for me.
I spent the entire night playing before I had to go to bed for school the next day, but even in the morning I woke up early enough that I could continue playing.
Pretty great of your dad to be interested enough to find out when the expansion was coming out just to preorder it for you
He could’ve walked in with the Burning Crusade expansion lol
@@NevanSlone That was my birthday present in April 2007. Ordered it for me while he was out-of-state working.
Dad understood the assignment, lol.
Present 2019 Me: TH-cam browsing.
TH-cam: You hear about WotlK release in 2007?
Hahaha YT is trying to tell us something...
how bout you come back now?
Destructible buildings.. yeah.. sure..
Hey! One battleground and one raid counts!
Wintergrasp, Strand of the Ancients, Isle of Conquest & Ulduar.
Don't forget Ensidia cheating on Lich King with saronite bombs dealing siege damage to the boss encounter platform kappa.
Leon Giraudo that isnt really destroying as its more rebuilding
@Leon Giaudo Haha, underrated comment!
So how about them Dances Blizz?
+thewalrus45 The first thing testers did with the Dance studio was make sexual poses so Blizzard scrapped the idea. They didn't want that kind of thing in WoW.
Guess you haven't played on Moon Guard.
🎉
"So come then you heroes. Come in all your power and glory. For in the final hour, all must serve the one, true king."
So awesome, even all these years later.
I like how the paladin turned death kinght it wearing hunter armor.
Looks pretty good if you ask me
Paladin rerolled to DK
Awesome, is it coming out soon?
***** no way, ur lying to me
It comes out November 13, 2008.
orangesheepdog awesome, cant wait
Nice name. Really sticks with you.
Your other part of your name will still be buried in mystery
No, I just got something in my eyes...
Oh god, the nostalgia is too much.
now experience it again 7 years later
The best times of my gaming career. Nothing will ever feel the same as entering Northrend through the Howling Fjord for the first time. After spending so long in the demon-tainted Outland, you could almost feel a fresh, cool breeze of air.
2:04 That music :O
You mean 0:05
Goosebumps everywhere.
reminds me of Black Temple
@@hanxuanli3478 That's because it's the Black Temple theme.
when i call blizzard on the phone ;-)
Back when WoW was amazing. It's sad what wow is like now :( I hope they can get it back to this.
sukiesoya they wont, because MONAY MONAY MONAY HERE WE GO
sukiesoya hello do you have time to talk about our lord and savior wotlk private servers? xD join a private server dont know how then i can teach you
sukiesoya i heard that when this expansion came out. ur just one of those people6
sukiesoya Join Dalaran WoW, awesome private server i'm leveling on now, its a pvp server, but...everything works 100 percent, im level 19 druid, and having a blast.
*****
think Dalaran WoW is the top...or is it's on its way to becoming top.
I thought this was this coolest thing ever when I first saw it. When WOTLK came out, I couldn't wait until I got home. I had so much anxiety when it started downloading, it took forever but I was the happiest little turd in the world. :)
Oh yes, two friends of mine received their discs a day early. I remember visiting one of them in the morning the next day before school, just so I could get a look at that sweet sweet death knight. There was a solemn feeling that whole day while our whole group of friends impatiently waited for school to be over for the day. We must've been 12 back then.
Those were the days, haha
I really liked how the downloader gave you the story for the Human and Undead campaigns from Warcraft 3. Gave you something to read while everything installed.
This still gives me chills down my spine. So damn good. Damn shame Arthas' original voice actor quit. It would have been epic if he continued to have lend his voice to the Lich King. :(
I totally agree ! Is that what happened ???
@@jim5140 Blizzard apparently offered him an embarrassingly low amount of money to do the work.
@@mkelebay Justin probably thought the offer was... Gross....😁
New Dances 2023 Wrath of The Lich King Deluxe Edition - $69.99 comes with unique Frostblood Saronite armored flying mount and North Pass to Level 68 (Cannot be used for Death Knights)
Don't worry boys we will be home soon.
I think blizz payed youtube to get us this recommendation
The best marketing tactic is nostalgia
only if they like marketing private servers lol. ive been playing tbc private with over 5k players online man i gotta thank blizzard
@@xvydia But what about wow classic? Ok nvm the lich king expansion isnt out yet
Best expansion ever.
best joker Was until legion.
Flame Genie legions good but not wotlk good.
Wrath was the best, and BC was a very close 2nd.
Twas indeed
Flame Genie no.
best reveal trailer
best cinematic trailer
best music
best pvp
best raid
best character
best lore
Perfect expansion!
***** actually it was half decent in S6/S7
+Mister K Early S5 after the first changes had its charm too; before everyone started to gravitate to established FotMs
it wasn't perfect
*****
early S5 was super OP, melee cleaves, then it all "evolved" into harry potters. However, as a Holy Pally, it was all swell for the most part ^^ Healing was fine for the most part too, Dudus might had few issues afaik.
+??? ??? pvp was pretty decent overall compared to cataclysm and wod
This was the pinnacle of Blizzard. This was the pinnacle of all games period
Lol sure....😂
NEW DANCES
Never came. XD
Me: Waiting for WotLK Classic in 2022.
TH-cam Recommendations:
WotLK was the best Addon. Prove me wrong.
Wrath was the start of blizz adding the features that slowly tuned the game from an mmo to single player
It's insane how much I miss this expansion.
After all this time, still gives me chills. This so far has been the best expansion pack.
Please give us atleast one wrath era server, Please.
This was my game back in the day
arthas voice was so much better back then
2020, shadowland is almost here and still waiting for the new dances
I wish that to become a Death Knight, your main had to be sacrificed in a way such as this, where you are put in a no-win scenario against the Lich King's army, you eventually die, but get revived as a Death Knight. I know that people would be all sad about losing their main, but it really is how it should be, since its not a level 1 newbie, its a fallen hero.
Medicine Melancholy my paladin (total coincidence) was actually deleted to make my DK because I wanted the name my paladin had for my death knight, in a way he did die and come back as a death knight lol. Mind you this was back in wrath and I had that paladin throughout BC. was worth it though as pally was not my main at the time
That was the original idea for the death knight class. I understand and agree that they didn't go that route, no matter how cool it would've been.
If death knights ended up being like the SWG Jedis, that would have been amazing. I still mained a DK in wotlk, and would gladly sacrafice a toon to main one again if thats how it worked.
Would have been very cool, but impractical.
Pretty sure that was the original idea, i remember heaps of emphasis on this but obviously it was scrapped.
I am waiting for the Legacy servers - BC and more expected by most - Wotlk. This enough, no need Cataclysm, pls.
Blizzard has legacy vanilla, have you been living under a rock? Its called World of Warcraft Classic
@@joshgomez7522 i talk about Burning Crusade and Wotlk, they probably will be "legacy" too, isn't ?
@@19Evangelion96 oh. Blizzard said they might do it if there is enough demand for them after they finish releasing content for class wow
I never played cataclysm actually, that's the only private server I haven't tried yet. I hope they make cataclysm
Its ridiculous to think that Blizzard will redo all the expansions , People asked for vanilla for a long time so Blizzard came with wow classic and thats it.
Nothing more nothing less
By far and away the best expansion of any video game ever created, no game will ever top the experience I had with Wrath of the Lich King.
They never will sadly ;( Arthas and the rise of the Lick King was easily the best story they ever created and they know it themselves.
Sounds exactly like what we will do on the Broken Isles.
Wotlk was garbage
;/
I disagree.... WotLK was the beginning of the downfall to me... Burning Crusade was the best expansion for me... but nothing will ever compare to the vanilla wow experience... ever
Ahh, memories. I remember all the hipe when they released this teaser at blizzcon. Everybody agreed it was going to be awesome and people didn't only complain about everything (like nowdays)...
Yes they did complain lol go to the archives of forums
Yet the majority said it was the worst expac ever because of BC nostalgia. I remember those days when people were complaining in Dalaran /2.
Jake Long oh man people complained like no other... The forums were flooded with QQ. All these years later the same people say it was the best expansion.
@@marcellowheeler88 well its easy to to change your mind when you saw what came out later lol. though if id have to rank them i would say wrath (peak classic wow) + MOP (peak modern wow) > bc > legion/vanilla > cata > wod > bfa
@@phgamer4393 are you still talking about complaints or are you ranking the best to worst exp, because legion was better than MoP?
1:38 when your healer dies in warsong gulch
Dat vrykul model tho
These days will never come back. R.I.P
+K4inan Play on a private server?
***** Not the same. People had a different mentality in 2007.
+K4inan i found a server called dalaran-wow that actually has progressive content release
+K4inan You look far too young to even remember 2007.
Lord Rayken I'm 22.
How they promised new dances...
I watched this and thought they changed the dances from TBC and I forgot or didn't realise XD
I would just like to point out the only "destructible" buildings we got were the towers in Ulduar... and Siege Weapons were also in Ulduar... so they didn't quite deliver on that one.
Never played PvP?
goran77ish Are you going to justify Wintergrasp's "walls" when they announced destructible buildings? Its a fair observation that I can admit slipped my mind. But if they're going to make something destructible make it a bit more exciting than towers and walls
Bloodstainer You got two BG with siege engines to. Not relly popular but you got it. I agree with you basicly, but they implanted more. And, as PvE player, that was nothing.
Wintergrasp
Bloodstainer How about Isle of Conquest?
back when the heart and soul was put into the game
There's still heart and the soul put into the game... it's just evolved, just like it did in TBC, just like it did in Cata, MoP, and so forth.
@@Ryan_hey It evolved into a foul hearth of the old god. Beating eternally with foul magic, only to trick you never to give you what you came for.
lifexlovexlivin Not really. It became a joyless grinder, with dumb content. It regressed, pretty hard.
@@RealRotkohl Playing Classic right now and it's quite a joyless grind as well. Everything has changed, and yet it's still the same.
@@Ryan_hey CATA BAD, ACTIVISION BAD, OG BLIZZARD GOOD, WOTLK/TBC GOOD!
god if i could just even feel a percentage of the excitement i had for this, for any other game... the amount of years i would take off my soul just to have that feeling again...
dalaran.wow is a pretty great wotlk server mate, thank me later
you are weird man...
About time. level 70 and 80 was my favo time. At lvl 85 you guys went so into the wrong direction:/
Same here :( After cata it went all wrong.
Still suck we didn't get to pick the Lich King's side as Death Knight and get a third faction, so many possibilities
That's true
Your upset that you where not able to watch as you helplessly murdered the innocent, destroyed much of the beauty on azzeroth, and be one of the main forces taking down life as you knew it. I understand its a game and the mechanics are cool but you have to understand there would be no 3rd faction and if there was it would be a DK exclusive faction so no healers would be available and even if they added one we would have 0 fun after a year or 2, and then back to lore wise the faction would crumble after the death of the lich king or the lich king would live and then destroy the world ending WoW. To be honest im kinda glad we didnt get a 3rd faction and I hope we never do.
Eh, the healer part is not really a problem, Lich King ha all kinds of humanoids on his side, they had healers, then we just should get new races to play as. So that's not really a problem.
And yes that would be fun, be the bad guys for once, the closest we get to bad guys might be the Warlock, lore wise, or the Death Knight.
And yes, then Blizzard would have to make so the Lich King wins the battle at Northrend.
It would be fun as a champion of evil, and do quests and wreak havoc upon Azeroth.
And then making the next expansion a follow up where the remaining forces of good, do a last battle where they would kill the Lich King or something like that.
But that would have Blizzard to change too much about the game.
Than Blizzard would recreate all the zones so DKs can walk there and quest there. 2 different ICCs; one were the LK survives and the other one were he dies. And Blizzard need to add ALOT of new quests just so DKs can enjoy the game.
The Forsaken could be a good third faction
destructible buildings? LIEEEEEEEEE, new dances? LIEEEEEEE
Ulduar, Strand of the Ancients, Isle of Conquest, Wintergrasp???
Sigurjonsig Those aren't dances silly ;)
Rokzum There are destructible buildings in that, silly.
Sigurjonsig U got rekt and didnt even knoe doe hey lol top kekirino
dougal pentleton m8 gr8 b8 dont h8 i r8 8/8
"You either die the hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Is it that neither or both happened to Arthas?
Arthas was Undead and Death Knights are too.
So yes or no? I know they're both undead, but they are technically alive and thinking is what I mean but are also technically dead, so I'm kinda confused.
Liam Freeman technically they died before becoming evil sooo...
Oh. Aighty then. Thx I guess..
Liberty Prime Arthas was not technically undead beacuse he didnt die to anything just fyi
OH THE MEMORIES

my favourite expansion :)
hey blizz its been 6 years, where are my new dances!?
10*
Shamic Entertainment 12*
let’s keep this thread going until Blizz adds those dances
@@thanos5497 16*
Destructible buildings, new dances...
Did anyone else feel like they revealed this too early? I was only level 62 in Zangarmarsh when the trailer dropped.
Back when WoW was good.
Its been so many years now yet this still stirs my heart the same way it did so many years ago. Truly Blizzard golden age.
NEW DANCES OMG
yeah! I cant wait!
yeah! I'm also waiting for those dogfights in wintergrasp they showed on the backside of the case
And "new quests", like, really?
where is the new dances...
are*
Lich King: "For in the final hour, all must serve the one true king"
Plays Illidan's music.
Okay then.
Illidan is the one true king.
this still gives me major nostalgia vibes i remember being SO excited for this
1:28, 1:41 Keyboard turner alert!
I hope to revisit TBC and WotLK in classic. Those were the days.
@K King Not saying it would happen, but would be cool. I don't think that idea is as far fetched such as making the game an entirely progressive game from Classic up to BFA. I mean heck, this idea isn't that bad either. But again, who knows if they would or wouldn't do it. It's all just wishful thinking at the moment.
AND THEN STOP AT WOTLK NO MORE.
@@sarttee Yeah WOTLK was Blizzards last expansion until the Activision merge and everything started going down hill.
@@jacobbender3573 They'd never do it because then Activision would have to admit that their last good expansion was before the merge.
@@Mekose Blizz claims theyll do what the community wants, and no one wants a remaster, private server for Cata servers and above
Magegirl: res me..
Paladude: i forgot to learn resurrection lol
That's a priest.
@@zer00rdie okay whatever.. that dude still didn't ressurect her lol
still waiting the new dances.....
this still makes my hair stand on end. when he says SO COME THEN YOU HEROS! ufffff!
The golden age of WoW
Ahh the expansion that sacrificed the games integrity for the first time....
More specifically ?
@@octapusxft Dungeon finder, 4 raid difficulties, class homogenization, completely trivial (heroic) dungeons, unimaginative (totc) or recycled content (naxx), daily grind throughout the expansion
I wish they actually used his voice acting for the Arthas in game.
Amazing trailer.. this trailer tells you such as story about Arthas have been through
The best expansion. Bring it back :(
they did :)
Still waiting on those new dances
Man... the good old days...
we live we die we live again
Wyldfalken That's so Chrome Bro, Cheers!
+Wyldfalken So shiny, so chrome!
You are born in the Alliance and you die in the Alliance...Then you are resurrected into the Scourge...Then you rejoin the Alliance!"
Gawd I love these in between cinematics. Even 10 years later, your work still gives me chills, Bliz.
It's pretty amazing that the entire opening part of this trailer takes place just in Howling Fjord. Really shows how enormous each zone in this expansion was.
And here we are, with Arthas reduced go 35 anima
2:31 still waiting for these new dance moves.
To bad they didn't stick with this voice, I think he would have benefitted.
Arthas is my all time favorite character but his later voice is annoying me more and more, it has no personality
Thats the plan lol. He lost his persona when he went in northrend and took frostmourne.
So no Destructible buildings and no new dances even to this day, wonder if they'll get around to it eventually
Still better than any cinematic in the game.
Still the best ending to any game trailer.
Still waiting for the new dances.
Watching this in 2020 before the release of Shadowlands just hoping that it'll even come close.
That arthas voice ! They should have kept it.
A keen reminder that people were going “WoW is dead/too easy” even back then, during the expansion that is highly regarded as the best one.
I was there in 2007, the memories 😥
+King Terenas Menethil No Terenas,you was killed already !
Where is the danm dance trainer?
Best. Expansion. Ever.
If u pay attention, the video starts with Arthas voice, in the end it changes to a mixed between his and Ner'zhul.. he loses sanity over time, in the end the Arthas we once knew became this monster, and we alll loved it! *-*
Its 2019 and im watching this. See you guys in the Cinematic comments soon!
Still waiting on those new dances, 15 years later
Wait, I was recommanded this after the Cyberpunk gameplay trailer
BEST EXPANSION
We're coming home!!!!
I remember how hyped I was when I first saw the fire animations at 1:13 haha
There it is dude.
where are the desctructible buildings?
Wounder if blizz had to beat back any lawsuits over the false advertising here. I don't recall "destructible buildings" or "new dances" in the game at the time.
I wish they would release a remake for mobile phones. It would make sense, we all have mobile phones.
Top notch!
LOL When? What? New wow expansion? I didn't finish BC yet.
This is an old expansion. You haven't finished the bc zones yet. After Outland you will quest in Northrend (Where this takes place)
*whoosh*
SlimxShady have you heard about sarcasm? ;)
this is still my favourite expansion, iconic villen, landscape and fun new class.
Music from Howling fiords always bring you back 2 utgatde keep and this last boss fight and dungs on lfg xD
Proper villain/end raid.
Lol I compare this with the WoD teaser they released a few months back. It's good to see that Blizzard has gotten a lot better at developing these trailers. This one felt like a mediocre player-made machinima. Meanwhile, the WoD looks and sounds professional, as it should be.
Gee I wonder why... it's only been 3 years and 2 expansions later.
Sirpimsywinkle 7 years*
Reptileqt Pie Jesus christ, I remember the day this trailer came out. Time flies, I swear.
Lithion unfortunately trailers seem to be the only thing they've gotten better at.
***** And cutscenes, can't forget those cutscenes. Raids, and questing though.... Let's uh, let's just forget about that.
