I truly wish I met you on WoW before.... watching your story and your Hardcore runs brought me so much joy. Shame there isn't more to watch now.... I love your way to tell stories. Maybe I see you one day online.... or maybe even on Turtle WoW. As much as I love to simp for evil purple elves... I can't justify giving Blizz more money. Guess I rather spend money on your Patreon :)
I'm glad you enjoyed! And... yeah, for many years to come WoW content is done for me. But... hey, listen, you can watch my other stuff :D I've got a lot of Conan exiles series! One doesn't have to play a game to enjoy watching content about it. CE is one of those. I think
This was truly amazing. No idea how it popped up on my feed but so happy that it did. Thanks for making this video and for sharing your story. We walked similar paths 😊
Completely other side of the planet here in Canada and I feel you. RP-PvP was in fact peak WoW. Just running around Azeroth as a patrol of orcs, trolls and tauren killing people we came across while completely in character, and opposing RP-PvP guilds dressed in Stormwind Guard uniforms showing up and having epic battles in the Arathi highlands or Ashenvale for hours. Level 70s and 80s wearing the most random low level gear because it was RP gear and transmog didn't exist yet. People standing in lines like actual soldiers, doing /salute. Stuff like that was so fun, and then eventually kicking back in a bar in Stormwind or Silvermoon City doing more casual RP with the guildies and random players, telling random taverngoers our stories of valor. I miss those days.
@@darksh1ne1 Yeah, I've played on Moon Guard, the American equivalent of Argent Dawn EU. On the internet we'd always hear stories about how both of our servers were really similar despite being inaccessible to the other, similar population, similar goldshire, similar guilds and events, and both kind of became THE major RP servers as the other RP servers kind of died.
I really loved this video, what you say about Blizzard's betrayal is completely true and I hope the company changes in the future, they really need it lol I loved reading your story and seeing the final images, it gave it a lot of nostalgia, thank you very much for make this video
What moment in your journey did you feel was the closest call with death? If there was ever a danger or a foe that would have bested Miradel, what would it have been?
@@buckelorc It wasn't one of those moments when i felt in danger, but yes, I've dropped the first fight with Trey (Mid of Ep13) because I was afraid of the respawns. I didn't have any CDs and pots, but I could beat him by simply kiting him and bandaging. Respawns would easily put an end to that. So I bailed and regrouped.
Easily this - ruclips.net/video/h7LF16tZpq8/видео.html When that damn orc respawns behind while I try to kite Nek'rosh. Mobs respawn terribly fast in that area and I knew that if I try to run I'll most likely run into someone. Plus some of them can use net. I knew that trying again would just be teasing fate so I never did.
@@darksh1ne1 It sounds like you know this game inside and out! Have you ever lost a hardcore character before? Everyone I've known who's tried that mode has done so at least once, no matter how good they are.
@@Antidragon-nl7by I have a video "Ponks' hardcore adventure" which was my 1st (2nd!) attempt. A night elf priest who died to Slim and his friend. ruclips.net/video/0hDODucxPzY/видео.html The very first attempt was also a priest who died in the cave on Teldrassil, I show that in Ponks' video too. (I kinda forgot about it during making of this final video, so I didn't even count that one) And finally there was another Miradel who perished in Westfall to the Defias pillagers at lvl 15. I show that one in the 1st episode of Miradel's series. ruclips.net/video/V_4kjU19A74/видео.html So 3 deaths total before this attempt. And yeah I know Classic questing really well, simply because I did this so many times in the past ^^ The end game is not as clear to me, I mostly explored it in TBC and Wrath while farming those mats for the Insane achievement, mounts and other stuff.
This is a story all too familiar...though, I have found a new Home among Eorzea and the Warriors of Light. Perhaps if time and opportunity allows you could view what things are like in FF14? I can promise, at least, the story is a fantastic ride from start to finish.
FF14 is in my sights, but it's a low priority. Elden ring DLC is my main target now, and after it I want to try V-rising. Ooor to do another Conan exiles playthrough. Gladly I have things to do. It's just sad I can't play with my WoW pals.

Sorry for what happened to you. It's hard to lose access to something so important, so abruptly. You know, there are some really good private servers out there. Turtle wow as a large population and a strong RP community. Project Epoch is shaping to be something really special when it release. You are not under any obligation to pay Blizzard anything to enjoy the universe they changed so much, and now that I've seen your video I understand better why there are so much russians players there. The adventure was long and difficult, but I'm confident you would have done it. Brave of you to want to attempt Stratholme on Hardcore! You stopped, but you didn't lose. Congratulations for making it this far.
Thank you! Yeah I was considering private servers. The problem is... what usually holds a person in an MMO are other people, guild and friends. And the guild I'm in for already many years is still there, still active. My friends still play. If i go to a private server it would be a fresh start from scratch. It just doesn't feel like something I want to go through at the moment. We'll see how things go. It's possible that eventually sanctions will drop and we'll get back to norm. I want to play WoW officially. I'm used to it and there are people who I know. And if not... Well, I feel free now. I've got plans for other games, for example I want to continue making stuff for Elden ring. I had a huge in-character playthrough that I've stopped a couple of years ago because I wanted to wait for DLC, to get the full lore picture. Not only I want to continue it, I actually strongly consider rebooting it, making it 100 times better.
Ok this was painful to sit through and read... Hun, couple of tips: Maybe add a text to speech, or considering making bigger panels and a faster rate... i had to watch this at 2x speed so i could read through and still was painful... And there is so much padding and yadda yadda that makes it dificult to stay invested... i just wanted to click off Now, here is a personal drop of wisdom. Take as you want. I'm an OG vanilla player. As in, i been playing since 2004. And let me tell you something... if there's one thing i know for sure, and the reazon i would never touch pirate servers, or classic, or hardcore, sod, whatever you name it... Is that those are FLEETING experiences. No matter how much people say they love classic, or they love hardcore, or they love SoD... the only people that do actualy enjoy and stay playing those, are people that can do without get any attachment to their characters. They could not care less if their characters disappear over night and have to start from zero, or if they themselves abandon them to start the new shinny whatever, server, season, mode... I have been playing my first world of warcraft Character since 2004. That character, i did log in today, in the same server i started, to do the raid. And lots of my friends have quit, some have came back... In way, is just like life you know? People comes and go... but regardless, you go on.
I agree on the investment part. In the past, before Cata, I loved the fact that achievements, toys, mounts and all that were character-only. Made you love and cherish the character who've got them. After they made all of that account-wide, it all changed forever. Sadly as you called it 'fleeting experience' is what devs themselves see this game to be and this is how it is designed ever since. A whole bunch of fleeting experiences. A raid and all of the gear you've got from it becomes irrelevant the next major patch. It's been for years like this, and I suppose majority of the game's current player base have accepted and enjoy this treatment of progression. Otherwise they wouldn't be playing, I suppose. What held me in retail WoW was mostly the roleplay. Without it I'd quit long ago by myself. Now, as for your criticism... I thank you for it, but none of your points are valid for me. I've designed the length and size of the chat boxes according to what I personally find enjoyable to read. I'm a slow reader so I measured the time they stay on screen judging by how long it takes for me to read them. I tried to make them larger in the sense of containing 3-4 sentences. But that lead to my eyes being forced to glue to the chat box instead of seeing the rest of the screen. With my current chat boxes and the length of them staying on screen, you can read the text quickly and enjoy the gameplay/scenery/whatever I choose to show to you. The video itself is not meant to be a thrilling high pace ride. By the way, I tried to watch it on x2 and... yeah, I dunno how you can find enjoyment from that. The audio and music turns into unlistenable mess. I've spent a lot of time picking the right tracks, you know? You're meant to listen to them while reading the story. I like slow pace of narrative in general. I love slow scenes of dialogue in action films. It's just how I am - I've found my pace and I'll stick to it. I always found jokes about younger generation having ADHD mostly as just that - jokes. But... according to your comment, perhaps there's some truth in them. Sometimes it's fine to just relax, sit back and to take things without a rush. As for TTS... I'm been thinking about it. But so far I couldn't find a good program which doesn't also demand payment per 1k words or something. I want to remind, by the way, that I can't pay for any foreign services anymore. For the same reason I can't pay for WoW sub. And of course nobody will ever hear my real voice. I hate it myself and I'm not subjecting anyone to the nightmare of it. In conclusion, an advice.. If you don't enjoy watching a video and feel like clicking off - do that. Perhaps my content just isn't for you.
Feel sorry you. It's always the little man that has to suffer. I wouldn't be surprised if your assumption is spot on, afterall Blizzard stopped being the good company it once was a long time ago.
I've watched Blizzard presentations throughout these years. They're oozing with politics and 'current thing', so I wouldn't be surprised that the truth is - some pro-Ukraine employee stirred up a fuss about "Those pesky Russian players are still playing the game! They should be on the streets protesting" or something, and pushed for the closer of gifts. I truly see no other reason why they would do that. They wonder why their numbers are getting low while losing entire countries worth of players. China, Russia - both were HUGE part of playerbase. Now fully gone.
you should have sent a document done with photoshop asking to a friend for it electricity bill and replace his name by your name ;) state of the world is sad, people with no culture, that do not even know or care to know about history, they talk of freedom but are killing millions of innocent, they talk about freedom but they make suffer their own citizens, they talk about freedom but forbide any discussion, they talk about freedom but they behave agaisnt all rules of reason and humanity, they talk about freedom but they serve again the beast, they serve a form of new fascism.
I could, I was thinking about that. But I just don't want to bother anymore. I hate Blizzard too much to keep playing right now. The only thing that would make me reconsider is a personal letter from Blizzard with apology and several years of pre-payed sub as compensation. I'm joking of course. I'm just tired trying to fight the system. I'll just play something that doesn't involve that (which is ironically every other game in existence)
i know your pain, i played wow for years, then they decided to ban multiboxing software claiming it was to control bots... the bots are more prevalent than they have ever been. a waste of my time and effort, i will never enjoy another blizzard game based on the fact i cant trust they wont take my money for 5 subs and then say sorry you cant play... sad company.
@@DMPSITIDS yes, the only reason i played is because i was able to play alone, play my own way, they now say you will play this char, this way and only this way, if you deviate from the course they set, you are 100% guaranteed to fail unless by some chance you manage to get carried through most of the game at which point you may as well play gw2.
I will carry your legacy on till you are able to hold the torch and play again. “You are not prepared.”
Will you come back for War Within expansion?
I wish, but can't.
