- Dear friends, this is another classic World of Warcraft music & rain ambience zone: Loch Modan, part of the Dwarves starting area. The nostalgia is very strong with this zone.
Dun Morogh Music & Ambience video here: • Vanilla Dun Morogh - M...
Loch Modan is a large area east of Dun Morogh, situated in eastern Khaz Modan. It is known for its temperate climate, abandoned archaeological dig site, and the huge lake from which the region takes its name. The gray and rugged Khaz Mountains rise up on all sides around the loch, and the hills are lightly wooded with pine and birch. The loch was held in place by the Stonewrought Dam, an architectural wonder of no equal on Azeroth.
Loch Modan is heavily populated by hostile troggs, unearthed from caves below ground by the dwarven digs. They have since settled in the surrounding mountainous area and built crude camps and caves from which to strike at passing travelers. Other dangers include dangerous wildlife, aggressive kobolds, and the powerful ogres of the Mo'grosh Stronghold.
Unfortunately Loch Modan doesn't have an unique music associated with it but the track 'Forest Day' seems to match perfectly with the ambience. Original World of Warcraft Vanilla music in this video (always marked on the video) together with rain noise:
00:11 Forest Day 1
01:10 Forest Day 2
02:26 Forest Day 3
10:06 Ruins OST by Jason Hayes
30:00 Orgrimmar 1
31:09 Orgrimmar 2
32:14 Volcanic Night 1
33:25 Volcanic Night 2
In rest there is a lot of "Forest Day" music extended, which is okay because it is highly addictive :)
Forest (Day) aka Elwynn Forest, Volcanic (Night) and Orgrimmar was composed by Jason Hayes
Ruins Original Soundtrack was composed and arranged by Jason Hayes, Tracy W. Bush, Derek Duke and Glenn Stafford (album The World of Warcraft Soundtrack)
All main areas in WoW Loch Modan Vanilla:
00:11 Thelsamar
10:00 Algaz Station
15:00 Silver Stream Mine
20:00 Stonewrought Dam
25:00 The Loch
30:00 Mo'grosh Stronghold
35:00 The Farstrider Lodge
40:00 Ironband's Excavation Site
45:00 Grizzlepaw Ridge
50:00 Stonesplinter Valley
55:00 Valley of Kings
59:00 Outro (don't click!)

As a Vanilla WoW player, I am capturing the old World of Warcraft atmosphere for eternity.

P.S.: More details *always* in the video description
/bow
There's nothing to dislike. Maybe a suggestion, Everness used to add camera motion to his videos in order to make them seem more natural.
It's almost unnoticable, as smooth as breathing. But it draws you inside the scene.
Hey! Have you seen my recent videos?
My filming style has changed a lot, this is an old video. Here is a sample, also with dwarfs: th-cam.com/video/7ll_i-QKM2E/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!
Hey Meisio, thank you so much for your content. It's the only thing that gets me through work. My only criticism would be to up the environmental sounds. I can't hear the rain.
Hey Kenneth,
This is something which I am most of the time "fighting". To get to a common ground for most of the listeners. Sometimes I am successful :)
If you like to hear the same track (called Forest) + rain ambience on different tones, check this out: www.mixcloud.com/meisio/ Maybe you will hear something you like.
Looking forward to your feedback,
Meisio
Anyone who rolled a dwarf or gnome knows how iconic the tonal shift is when traveling from Dun Murough to Loch Modan through that tunnel. Really can't wait to revisit here in WoW Classic, its been too long!
Really awesome zones, I agree :)
Nice to meet you and welcome to the channel :)
Love your content! Keep it up!
Still one of my favorite memories and something that should serve as a lesson to anyone ever designing large world games. My first character was a Dwarf in Nov 2004 before anyone really knew anything about this game, and I felt like Dun Morogh took me a week to get through...you get so used to seeing the snow and ice that seeing grass and greenery was such a striking and memorable thing.
Hellfire Peninsula into Zangarmarsh captured some of that feeling too.
/laughter!
kweechy yep. The original game world was quite the experience.
The nostalgia.....i havent heard this music in 14 years....why does this still sound like home from a long ago. This game i swear, witchcraft.
i haven't heard ur ass man for a 20 years, stay healthy
no, it's warcraft
@@DJDrDerek har har
Same here! After more then a decade. I feel the same when listening to loch modan, tanaris and mulgore
Wc3 music. Insane.
Since Classic came out, I've been returning to this game once in a while. Not logging into any higher levels, not saying hey to any old guild mates, not doing anything other than just starting a new character, and relaxing with listening to the music and watching the beautiful landscape.
There will never be another game ever, that has consumed so much of my time, and brought me so much joy as this game have. I can literally close my eyes when the music is playing, and get a picture clear as crystal of how I adventured the land of Azeroth. And all I can think of is how I want to do so again - and one day, I shall.
Same

I remember the excitement of going through the tunnel and getting exp for discovering new area and then boom, beautiful Loch Modan...
I was on my night elf, doing the legendary trip between Wetlands and Ironforge / Stormwind when I first discovered this zone. I don't know exactly what I was doing, but I reached Thelsamar. Set my HS there, because I wasn't sure I was going next on the right path :)
Nice to meet you, salutations,
Meisio
I loved going through the tunnels that felt a little warmer from the cold. A really long walk and then this whole new beautiful zone to explore. I miss the immersion this game provided. I really did escape.
The tunnels avoided the problem of zones instantly/unrealistically changing at each border as if two maps were stuck together. You never knew what was happening on top of those tunnels on the mountain pass so the new zone came naturally. Brilliant zone design
Diese Musik könnte ich mir stundenlang anhören........Moment mal, das mach ich ja gerade. 🎶
Dude this is making me tear up, I forgot how much I miss this game. I'm gonna try to get my wife into it now that I have someone to play with
My first character (pre TBC) was a human warrior, Arnold. When I realised this game was a true Open World around level 18-20ish, I just packed my bags,ignored my Q-log and went wandering. Spent a lonnng time in Loch Modan, figuring out how to properly level my blacksmith, and go fishing.
I kept Arnold (later as an alt, my main became a Blood Elf Rogue named Sarduri, and the *best* character I rolled) all the way through to cap in WotLK. I retired him in Loch Modan, by the shores fishing.
😿
This was, by far, my favorite zone in all of World of Warcraft. Seeing it get destroyed in Cataclysm was pretty heartbreaking but thank you so much for this video. It got me to smile and remember all the memories from vanilla WoW in Loch Modan.
We lost the lake and the barrage, but the zone is still recognizable. We were lucky I guess...
Welcome Jabroni282, I hope we talk again. Have you checked out the other Vanilla videos from my channel? I also have a gameplay video in Loch Modan.
Thank you for watching! :)
Meisio
Yep! I've been letting them play on loop while working as well as playing and enjoying the visuals while the music plays. Thank you so much for everything. Subscribed to your channel as well.
How I wish I could go back to 2005 and relive the first days of playing WoW.. Not a care in the world and being able to play for hours on end, everything new and exciting.. Especially the first zones with their music will always create an extremely nostalgic/sad feeling when I hear it. Good old times :(
exactly the same feeling here !
The dam's been broken for eight years now. Fix it already, you lazy Dwarves!
They have no time, They are drinking beer in pub.
You are congrats!
Classic. 😁
13 years now
If only Blizzard watch these beautiful videos, and realised what they once could create. soo much wonder, depth & soul.
This area still amazes me from the first day I discovered it on my dwarf warrior, right up to present day.
I hope to travel through these lands once again in the summer. See you on the journey my friends.
holy shit couldnt agree more r3ggz....
The old Loch Modan was one of my favorite zones before it was destroyed. It was very refreshing for my dwarf hunter to wander outside the pretty yet frigid, snowy and cold Dun Morogh into this very lovely new zone.
Aside from the troggs, ogres and Dark Iron dwarves, it seemed like a beautiful and relaxing place. Thelsamar is actually one of my favorite small towns in the game. It just seems like a cozy and nice little town. The Loch itself and the surrounding nature is beautiful. I was really sad when I saw the really impressive Stonewrought Dam destroyed and the Loch drained to almost nothing.
Hehe, a true dwarf in the heart! I like the dwarfs quite a lot, especially because they have such a nice starting area. If Dun Morogh was snowy and cold, now in Loch Modan we are changing the snow with the fresh green grass of a high plain, you can still have the sensation that is pretty chilly.
Indeed, big changes in Cataclysm, but at least I was _happy_ to still recognize this zone. It is a pity about the Stonewrought Dam, but maybe we will have a chance to see it repaired in some future expansions. Still waiting "Cataclysm no. 2" but without destruction, where we can see progress in all classic areas of Azeroth.
Salutations! :)
Meisio
I used to love feather falling as far as I would get into the wet lands from the dam. That dam... RIP
I miss the good old days. 2004-2007. I was playing WoW all the time, but I was a kid. I was mainly watching my older brother & his best friend (who had his PC at our house) play WoW. They were in one of the best raiding guilds in the world. Such a simple time. No worries, no stress. Can’t believe it’s been 20 years since then.. this music & vibe brings me back to a warm place of joy & relaxation, full of nostalgia & comfort. Thank you for creating this! I’m gonna sleep so good to this in the coming months/years. Sending love & blessings to everyone reading this! Long live WoW! ❤
I realize that is mostly my nostalgia talking, but even Loch Modan, one of the less iconic zones, still has more personality than basically all of Shadowlands combined.
Shadowlands is the only expansion I've given up on. I found things to like in all the others, but I hated Shadowlands so much after 6 hours of gameplay that I abandoned all quests and spent the whole 2 years leveling alts!
Your skill in Fishing has increased to 90
I loved this area. It didn't seem as popular as other leveling areas. There were plenty of people to do the group quests with but not too many that I was waiting around for mobs to respawn. I supplemented leveling here with Westfall and Redridge and always found this a relaxing area to return to. I also loved the progression of Loch Modan to Wetlands.
Plus, soloing some quests was almost impossible at a certain level. But that was a good thing. You needed to team up, therefore to be social. :-)
Welcome back,
Meisio
@@Meisio To be honest, I like that being social isn't mandatory these days. Makes the ones who are kind stand out and be rewarded. And I have to say, they're not only a few; many just want to have fun with others (too bad I haven't been active, to assist the friends I've made with that...). I'd just rather know beforehand if I met someone who is pretending to be kind, simply to get a quest done.
Anyway, just my perspective on this little detail :p
Love Loch Modan
I remember my first time here. I was a Night Elf noob making my first journey from Teldrassil to Elwynn... when I finally came upon the Loch it felt like I was finally, reasonably, safe after the Wetlands. I was only there for a brief minute, and this was always one of the few zones I never really explored.
Just a beautiful region w the lake, the fishing house and the big dam. Like many of u, I remember starting out w a dwarf, going through Dun Morough and then the tunnel to green Loch Modan. Ohh..the adventures in this place!! It was long before I even saw a dungeon or even knew how big the WOW world was. It was all so new!!
I’ve been away from gaming for many years and won’t ever come back, but I miss these days.
As a horde only player this gives me flashbacks i didnt even experience myself.
I realized this was Baelin’s bgm. No wonder it sounded so familiar and nostalgic❤️
I come listen and watch to this video every day!:) So cozy and relaxing!
Hey, you did not write lately but I am happy you were listening to the music :)
Planning to release longer versions of the tracks, but I have to have more time :(
Salutations,
Meisio
I used to remember when i was young , i'm a real gamer .
There is a friend who is like 45 + levels who bring me travel around the world , i only at 18 level during that moment .
We go a lot of place , and also Loch Modan , We stop here and watching the pond , fishing .
We're chating , walking , the only thing we trying to get , is those special recipes all around the worlds .
Yea , this is true gamer will do .
I miss the old days when i was pure .... and willing to do those .
I'm no longer that pure anymore .
There's always a relaxing comfort to the opening music, which could be heard in different zones. Good times.
Here I am, another day @ my office, cat's sleeping on the side, listening to Loch Modan music. Stay safe y'all!
This is still one of my favorites of yours :)
My gosh i really miss this Times...
I love these old zones and races, because I'm emotionally invested in them. I love them and their stories, the more weird creatures they're adding in the shadowlands the more distant it feels from the real wow.
Writing my master's dissertation while reading this, it simply perfect
Thank you so much for the effort you put into this superb work!
PS: yes the nostalgia is strong here :)
/bow Good luck with your dissertation!
For some this music will be Elwyn Forrest. For me it will always be my first steps through the mountain pass, treading the first green grass I've yet seen on my journey through khaz Modan. The awesome sight of the loch filtering through that grand dam the statues of dwarven kings and sausages and beer in thelsamar.
WHen you realize this is the Elwynn FOrest music :)
I was a completionist.. or just obsessive quest runner. I spent loads of time here. Dwarf warrior ...gnome mage.. and later on dwarf hunter.
Wow now days lack of nice and peacefull places . Everywhere now is full with punch of mobs .
Thanks for these vids. Playing them on the side allows me to indulge in comforting nostalgia without distracting me from the code I'm working on at the moment - I think I'll have them on regularly!
Thank you Daniel for your support. I must continue my rain and ambience series. It's been a while since I've done a video like this. :-)
@@Meisio hmm would it be possible to combine it with a TBC zone? I can't recall if I've ever encountered rain in Outland, outside Zangarmarsh.
It arouses nostalgia... Loch Modan, the most beautiful WOW place forever.
my god, original Loch Modan, how much i miss it. Cant wait for Classic!
Have you seen the gameplay video? th-cam.com/video/BxkLMXXkmU4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for watching! Would be honored if you subscribe! :)
Meisio
i´d rather not watch gameplay videos, i prefer to leave the experience unspoiled for when i come back to our beloved old Azeroth xD
:D Fair enough!
¡Hasta la proxima vez! :)
Man, I miss this place.
i realy love work with wow music. its fantastic.
Cataclysm ruined Loch Modan, and so many other zones in Azeroth. There is literally no loch left in Loch Modan. I wish they were all like they were pre-Cata.. :(
I so agree
i guess the lakes just consumed too much area, but yeah now is just a dry swamp
Favorite zone definetly
Ther's so much lore in this zone especially post cataclysm it's great
If I ever play this game again I will definitely level in this area
Amazing stuff - have such happy memories of this zone from early 2005 xxx
I've always been a Horde main and I loved coming to this zone even with my Horde toons. The atmosphere is really unique and comfy.
Also I loved raiding that town >:3
fav zone from my 4 months of classic wow
Man, I want to go back so badly!
I started world of warcraft because of this music. 😎😎
I wish they would repair the Dam and give us back the proper Loch. As if the dwarves wouldn’t have had that fox asap
I never did much here in Vanilla, but I gave it a shot in Classic and I really enjoyed it. Westfall gets too repetitive after leveling so many characters.
20:00 Tears flow, my memories were destroyed by Catastrophe.
Не знаю поймёшь ли ты меня, но спасибо огромное за твои видео!
I love the orchestral sound of the music here. It was the first impression of the game which I played long long time ago with my highschool buddy, haha, though it was for a short time. I wonder who the composer was at that time!
Jason Hayes
He still does their stuff but his original set is as very orchestral
LFM ogre Elite quests. Need a tank. Honestly, we will take a hunter or warlock pet we’ve been waiting so long. We got heals. Pst!
/w 1MoreTurn I am a tank... I mean I hunter... I have bear pet as tank. Is this okay? :)
One of the best kept secrets in WOW Thank you for sharing
This video made my day. Thank you
I wish I could live in that place! Great music and ambience.
I remember meeting someone with a character named after Tom Bombadil here.
This is my favorite zone in all of WoW and I like the Golden Eagles!
Wonderful music videos, clothing wonderful memories from a game I have stopped playing a year ago, but I will never forget... Keep it up! :)
Thank you Selvo! I am glad you like it. I will make a gameplay in this area somewhere next month with a dwarf priest. I hope you will have the time to check it out :)
Kind regards,
Meisio
Great music lovely scenes
The video is so well made, just love it , love your channel, you produce tremendous content
Keep up your good work
Keep uploading great content , you have great potential ,
Stay blessed 💐💐💐
Stay connected friend 😊💐💐💐
Thank you my Indian friend. Lets stay connected :)
Not going to say this was my favorite area but I did like it a lot.
Damn it.. you won me with the rain
22:52 Even the draw distance is vanilla.
Thanks again, Meisio.
My pleasure Tony
Thank you good sir
My pleasure, like always. :-)
Man how I love this zone, its a shame they never fixed or change it after de cata exp.
Love your videos, keep up the good work!
Thank you Michael :-)
I love you. Thanks for the video
My most beloved zone beside swamp land and zangar marshes
While I did favor the human story lines, this zone did offer tremendous variety. Animals, trogs, ogres, dwarfs, kobold like things...mountains, caves, lakes, excavation sites...so it was an enjoyable diversion from fighting the defias. And since the quest hub was so centrally located it was pretty user friendly.
Loch Modan is a bit limited in distinct subject material, isn't it? Watching this I naturally remembered other things that might be seen also and there just isn't much.
Thanks for another great video!
Yes, nothing else to add except more images from Thelsamar (with the tavern for example). I like the Valley of Kings, Thelsamar and Stonewrought Dam.
I will add another video without rain ambience after awhile.
Thank you for the encouragement! I will continue with the videos written by you on the Discussion section :)
We're going home
Yes we are Kevin! Yes, we are! :)
@@Meisio Watching all your Classic videos to get hyped! Great work, thank you.
10:05 just hits different
Loch Modan, known post-Cata, as Modan.. :'(
Very beautiful.
I hope Blizzard will apply BFA graphic to all Vanilla zones one day so I can expirience WoW with the same passion as playing it for the first time. The update on Warsong Gulch is perfect they keep the true essence of the game but improved and polished so it feels like a different game to me. If they could do that to all Vanilla zones I would be super happy. They should keep the old Music it's timeless but the quests can be improved even more with the new mechanics.
One of my favourites zones!
The soul of a dwarf! :)
The Loch Modan gameplay here: th-cam.com/video/BxkLMXXkmU4/w-d-xo.html ;)
Thank you for watching.
Meisio
Thanks!
love the videos
does the music of loch modan the same as for elwynn forest?
Hmm so this is the same sounds as Elwynn forest?
Yep.
I can hear the troggs
Nice :-) This is called _synesthesia_
we will play it soon boys
99% of the people here hear troggs getting aggro´d:)
Those Trogg quests "In defense of the Kings land" were soooo hard as solo player! Damn you Grawmug!
wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/In_Defense_of_the_King%27s_Lands_quest_chain
Yes, I remember them. The part 3 and 4 at least, right!? :)
Salutations!
Let's defence the King's lands.
A bit hard to solo the last 2 quests :-)
59:00 - what is this?
Hey, it's a quick reminder that if you liked the video and you want to support me further in my work you can do that.
Is it really disturbing? Interested in your opinion.
Thank you.
Oh, I see. It blended into the music quite well so I thought there was a bike at Loch Modan or something.
The sound is everywhere on my videos, more like an audio watermark. Something to recognize my work. (I have something similar at the beginning too, the page flips, but it's more faint.)
Ah, I noticed now. I like it, it really blends nicely into the rest of the video.
Good! Thank you for the feedback. It is concerning if it's disturbing, last thing I want is to have some random sounds disturbing too much. If it made you ALT + TAB to check out what's going on, but without annoying you, than I've done my part :)
this is elwynn forest
Yes. During Classic times the themes were often used in multiple zones.
more plox
Hey Maks,
Sorry, you have to give me more details. More videos? More from Loch Modan? :)
Thank you for visit and I hope we talk _more_ :D
Meisio
oh oh oh. Try a Dustwallow Marsh plox :)
never mind you already nailed it. gratz
Finishing with *all* Azeroth Vanilla zones very soon ;)
(I've seen you discovered Dustwallow Marsh :) )
could be interesting if you tried some casual 1st person exploring through zones
Listening to this as i take shit
Never really liked Lock Modan, was so lifeless.
Well it probably was, but i was 13, playing on my friends dward priest. Trying to kill those troggs. I dont know, but the nostalgia is so real for me. (this is 10 years later)
All these ogres and bears didn't look so lifeless to me :p
But yeah, it's always been a quiet region, perfect for just sitting there and chatting for hours...
