Whenever i hear this music i think of you mom. Coming home from school and you giving me a big hug and playing wow with me after i did my homework. Whatever i would give to bring me back to those days, to bring me back to you. I love you mom and i hope you're in a better place. You're in my heart always and forever.
1:51-4:09 i miss you, dad. this always reminds me of how much time this crazy guy spent in storm peaks, farming the time lost proto drake on three seperate characters before it was account wide. thank you for all the memories we made and how much closer this game brought us together. i still miss you every day and i think of you listening to this
I played this at my best friends funeral because it was his favorite zone, music, raid and expansion. We met farming The Lost Time Proto Drake. You will be missed brother.
+Unlimited Blade Works Come relive the glory days on WARMANE private server! its great, I highly recommend it. although I wish people ran Ulduar and Naxx more.
+Unlimited Blade Works the story of Wrath of the Lich-King has been told and finish´d. unwise it would be to remain in an closed chapter of a long story, whilst the same story unfolds yonder and progresses farther in to the unknown. ev´ry long story has albeit its flawed chapters and poor spots.
Matthias Maier......or you can just play the wow expansion you enjoyed the most, with the MMORPG elements that the current game has really lost touch with....oh and its free too
1:51-4:09 I remember back then, playing on this map with my first and now ex-boyfriend. We were questing around, having fun, and missing each other because we were in different cities during the summer, and WoW was our only contact. When I first listened to this piece, I was flying with my griffon towards a beautiful and stormy purple sky, and it amazed me because it was-and still is-absolutely gorgeous. This music and this place represent the majesty of the Titans and the creation of the world of Azeroth. But for me, they also represent the love I felt at that moment for this person. A few years later, we broke up. Now he is in a solid long-term relationship of almost ten years with someone else, and we barely speak. I'm quite sure he is very happy, and I'm glad for him. Realizing that the best way to honor the love I felt for him is by letting him go forever is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Even so, I cannot avoid thinking about him from time to time, sometimes missing him, wondering what would have happened if we were still together. How our lives might have been. I will never know. He made me a better person, and for that he will always have a place in my heart; and this song will continue to evoke those wonderful moments playing WoW with him. I can return to the Storm Peaks, contemplate the might of the Titans, and remember the time when I loved him more than anyone else in my life. Thank you.
Damn thats deep, I am currently in the same type of a relationship (400 km) apart but we play wow together all the time so lets hope I dont suffer the same fate as yours. Good luck to you and all the best !
Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. It touches me even 3 years after commenting. I can feel your desire and your love in your words. So feel hugged and loved. I hope it eases your pain of suffering.

I will never forget the first time I heard this music in 2008. I was level 77 and it was the first time I had ridden a flying mount, and being up in the air showed me how massive the zone was. That combined with the dark, cold feel and the complete lack of players up in the sky, along with the sad music, created the most heavy feeling of loneliness and awe I have experienced in the game to date.
+Nate B. i wish blizz would still make zones like this. Now they just want everything look like its been used up from pretty much everything that made it magnificient or beautifull. WotLK sure was immense in the story that was given by the looks of things. Like ulduar, it started as a normal place but as you progressed deeper and closer to Yogg'Saron, the place started turning more messed up. Storm peaks is by far the most amazing zone, it still gives me that awe ish feeling when i pass it. You perfectly summarized how it felt, good job. It's not that easy to do with most things! (and pandaria doesnt count as it was pretty much all about story and music, like WotLK but not as good)
+Nate B. The first time I really noticed the music (the melodic part at 1:51 that is) was during the Sons of Hodir questline at the part where Thorim meets with King Jokkum at Thunderfall to apologize for the damage he caused Jokkum's people in the past during his grief and rage. The theme started playing at the perfect time during their conversation, it made that moment all the more beautiful and touching, I could really feel the weight of their long and heavy conflict finally being lifted as Jokkum forgave Thorim and returned his weapon Krolmir to him, telling him that he welcomed the opportunity to fight by his side once more. All of that was one of the parts of WoW that made it much more than just a video game to me.
Rias is love, Rias is life Well I wouldn't say they forgot, MoP did a pretty good job with storylines and cool zones. And while WoD wasn't that great, in its defense there was Shadowmoon Valley and Spires of Arak which I enjoyed questing through. They've just been more hit-or-miss lately, but hopefully Legion will offer some cool content.
buldren0101 i mean like, the magical feel. like how storm peaks has this music and the ambience, of a huge zone and the horizon having lightning etc. even though mop was good looking and the music was amazing, it wasnt magical or like that.
This music makes me miss my WoW days. Such a fun game. I have say that the best part of this game was not the fun teams, the epic adventures, the unfolding story lines, the strategy involved or even the massive raid battles; it was the music. The music is what kept me coming back and back over 7 years of playing. I still hum some of the tunes so many years later.
The same to me. Often enough I listen to the music without playing the game. The music is outright epic and superior to the music of other games. I even try to play the music on my synth or buy sheet music of WoW.
And there was a faction you had to farm at a frozen lake with elementals each day, and the battleground frozen in ice...omg such good memories, seems like a millenia ago now..how problemless, joyful thing it was to be a teen those days, compared to be an adult now with all the negative changes it brings :)
Did all the Sons of Hodir dalies in WotLK. Got the tlpd in cata thanks to engineering. Used the wormhole to go to dal and saw him and begged guildies to mail me the parts for the loot a rang. Thanks to moll-e I was able to loot tlpd on the side of a mountain on Christmas 2010.
+Tyler Adam WoD was terrible, no emotion whatsoever, just drums and orcs yelling, mop was okay in some parts but none of them were even close to wotlk-cata
I remember leveling my hunter in the Peaks. At 79, a couple of Alliance bastards started chasing me and killing me everywhere. Out of desperation, I ran all the way up to Garm, planning to lose them for good, and died again because of a lingering DoT. Just as I was about to ragequit, I rezzed and then I saw it... the timelost, floating right in front of me! It was possibly the most amazing moment in my WoW history. Found it by accident... noone believed me!
Can’t believe I used spend many nights just flying around this beautiful zone, listening to the music, and setting up my picnic basket at the top of the tallest peak. This was 13 years ago….
Anyone ever try calling the Blizzard support line back when it was phone-based? This song played on an ENDLESS loop. Over an hour of "Please hold for Blizzard tech support, all our representatives are assisting other customers. WOOOOOOOAAOOHHOHHOOOAAAAOH WOOOOOOOOOHOOHOOOOOHOOOAHAHHAAWOHOOAAAAA"
tachikoma747 Haha yeah, now that you bring it up, I remember hearing this music through the shitty, static filter of the phone for damn near an hour as I waited to get a question sorted out. I do recall Blizzard's customer support being awesome once the wait was over, though.
Went to Iceland a few weeks back. Was out in the middle of no where with a group in the dead of night looking up at the sky hoping to see the Northern lights. I took a minute to put my ear buds in and played this track while out there. I cant describe how beautiful it was to see them with this music playing in the background.
I joined during mid cata, but whenever I hear this I feel the massive nostalgia of the hours I spent listening to this music and leveling. I joined really late, but still this game has more nostalgia for me than anything else.
Same here mate Joined in mid cata and have nostalgia all the time even when I hear crossroads music !! God I love this game and gonna start again prob xd
Lemmi Winks It's probably better than a lot of people who just learnt their English from high school and the odd movie where they pay little attention to the subtitles. ;)
It's 2019, and here I am. Coming back to this masterpiece. Even though blizzard has had their fair share of hate here recently, I will say this. This is the type of stuff that touches your soul, the type of stuff that makes you think about your life. You're beautiful life that is worth living.
Everyone´s talking about "Classic"... (I played it back then and now, but I never get hooked...) I, for myself, enjoyed WotLK so much more... I miss THIS feeling.
I listened to this while standing on a high peak in the Sierra Nevada mountains, watching clouds rolling over the peaks to the south. It was an amazing few minutes. I really did shed a few tears, too, as others have said it makes them want to cry.
I remember one time, I was questing around the peaks, and I had the music turned up. My brother calls out from the other room "Hey, what movie are you watching?" So I tell him I'm playing WoW and he's all like "Man! That music is awesome, I thought it was a movie!"
This is the soundtrack to my life and my dreams for the future, and the sound of the landscape when something is wrong. A good place to escape, be at peace and enjoy the moment. Thank you very much for sharing :)
The warcraft universe has accumulated what is likely to be the best collection of music in gaming history. I find it utterly baffling that the movie just was like "nah m8, we'll just use the same same lil jingle for the soundtrack the whole way through". Why. So many things to draw from..
To be honest, you get more change in musical theme over the course of the 2 hours of the movie than you would doing quests for 2 hours. They used a single leitmotif to establish a strong connection to the emotional tone of each scene without confusing the audience (in an already confusing movie). I would have liked them to have 2 themes, the Orc and Human theme, but any more than that and the message the music is trying to send would get muddled.
I've still enjoyed WoW since, but it's never been like it was in TBC and Wrath. This music takes me back. Those vast mountains, the Titan constructions, the sense that this was somewhere mysterious and dangerous... so great!
whats even worse, is listening to to the music bringing back all the nostalgia and wanting to go back, but cant because i remember how much it has changed for the worse and know ill just be let down again.
The years of camping... The endless hours of listening to this music waiting for what is rightfully mine... Some day... I will find the Time-Lost Proto Drake... Only on that day will I cancel my World of Warcraft subscription with pride of what greatness I have achieved.
It's strange, on one hand I love hearing all the stunning music from Vanilla, TBC, WotLK and Cata. On the other hand it gives me a very raw pain deep in the chest. Makes me miss those days and those people so much.
Listening to this majestic song, sitting on my porch while the rain pours down, watching lightning streak across the sky, is... an experience. What a wonderful sight.
2:48 - 4:10 is a truly incredible piece of music, when i went to storm peaks, I loved the eerie but epic feel - rivaled only by the Lich King soundtrack in the Wotlk Trailer. Blizzard really put effort into the game.
Because i spent a lot of time in Storm Peaks with my paladin and this music got stuck in my head. The part at 02:47 was my favorite part of the entire song. To me it sounds like some chant in a temple and paladins are holy warriors. I really liked the lore of Warcraft and WOTLK was the best expansion for me. That paladin was my favorite character i had ever played. It was so much fun. Now every time i hear this i remember him, and that makes me sad.
The Choir voices in this are so amazing. The atmosphere of the music fits for both finding something incredibly holy in discovery (in game was Ulduar), but also a very cold atmosphere
whenever i happened to enter storm peaks, the music always catches me off-guard. it's not necessarily that I like his music but when I was farming time lost Proto Drake, I effectively listen to this for almost 5 days straight. in a way I'm happy, because it brings me back to when i was just playing the game not knowing what i was doing.
As a Bm hunter, i spend a lot of time here, looking for that epic spirit beast - Skoll. After lots of looking around I found him :D I still remember this beautiful sountrack playing while I was taming him
Only time I found him...I wasn't there for him. I was buying the parts for the Motorcycle. I saw him come up on my NPC search addon. I was like holy shit! Ran to him, was the first one there, went to go Tame...and I forgot my current pet was out and it fucking one shot him. I am still pissed.
Same thing happened to me on my second hunter with loque after 2 days of camping, my king Krush decided to pop out and kill it mid tame, I was livid XD
I'll never forget this music. After all the adventuring, coming here felt like i was going to the ends of the earth, and yet some feeling of being on the cusp of something amazing, or exciting and wondrous never left
Its 2021, amidst wows destruction i return here. I first heard this track when I was 9 and played a dk on my dads account. So much has changed and little for the better. This game captured my childhood but some whispers still linger as this music howls through the mountain tops of the storm peaks.
This music brings tears to my eyes when I think of the good memories I had as a teen with my brothers, cousins and WOW friends. Wow will never go back to these good times. :/
Oh my this brings back memories. I spent waaay too much time in Storm Peaks due to camping TLPD, Skoll and getting the White Polar Bear. That was about a years worth of time spent in Storm Peaks and was easily the best year I ever had in WoW.
camped for 2 months before i bagged time-lost. I got Aeonaxx less than 24 hours before i got time-lost, just by luck. (Vyra had just been killed so i knew i had time, decided to go check deepholm, and there was Aeonaxx).
Still remember this music really well after camping for TLPD for 1 month and getting it, but I really did nothing else for that whole month. No dungeons, no raids, nothing! Just login, fly around, camp in a secure location, fly again, and repeat.
@@KingDav33 Pandaria was the biggest failure of them, there wasn't any connection related to the original or even spin off's story line. They made it coz pandas were actually so cute x'D ....how poor.
Ah you're right. I spent a long time on hold to Blizzard once with this song playing over and over again. I loved the music! Didn't know it was from The Storm Peaks.
WOTLK is by far the best expansion to ever come out of WoW. The only level range I do not rush through and sometimes just come back to listen to the music. Wish Blizzard would bring back this quality of story instead of the lame stuff brought in WoD...
+IrishZimz I stopped playing shortly after Cataclysm came out. I loved the game to death, but it was sucking away my time, life, and soul so I had to stop. I'd have to say Wrath was the best expansion I played; the locations were simply amazing. There was feeling in the zones you were in. Even "Boring" Tundra was an interesting zone, despite it being the least of all the zones in my opinion. The only other zone in my opinion that came close to those zones in Wrath, was Eversong Woods.
This is one of the tracks that kept me coming back and back to play. I played WoW for the music more than anything else. It captured me every single time. I came back to this area to farm over and over just because I loved the music so much.
HacksignKT I missed it by 5 seconds once..serious. The annoying thing was I had just stopped to reply to a guildmates question. Fly around the next corner. NPC Finder goes BLING!!! TIme Lost Proto Drake comes into sight. Prepare to land on roof of building in front of its flight path to death grip it with my DK, but as i do so it suddenly veers away to the right where some FUCKEN ALLIANCE PALLY had taunted it. I think i'm over it now though.....*wrings hands*
Yeah,this music makes me think about the days I farmed him :) After 4 months,I got it... This music 4.21 is ABSOLUTELY great,it played when my own TLPD spawned :)
Some nights when things weren't going well, I just logged in and flew across Azeroth on my dragon, watching the landscape and listening to the music. This game is a masterpiece.
I can honestly say WoW was the best gaming experience of my life. I quit right before Cataclysm (glad I did) Still… I miss it sometimes…so we have the music to remind us of all the fun adventures we had. Today I will usually throw this music on in the background while playing League of Legends.
Same here. Nothing was ever the same after WotLK. Removal of RPG features, removal of group quest, no need for world exploration, only LFG and LFR, zero socializing...Vanilla-WotLK was nearly spiritual experince. It's hard to explain if you haven't been there, but so many of us have. Wish I could go back there for at least a day. It's the best gaming experience I've ever had in my life.
I was there for that part and I can tell you the game is better now, though the music and theme of WotLK will always be divine for me, everything has just gone up up and away with every expansion.
This music was amazing, it made you feel awe and wonder. Yet it had an intimidating feel to it as well which matched the environment perfectly, we were in an ancient part of Azeroth where Titans forged giant stone beings and massive machinery. The first life. It does leave you in awe and wonder. It's magnificient. I loved WOTLK, hands down the best.
I am so thankful and I really do realize what a luck I had that I could play this masterpiece in its best ages and times. Thank you for everything. I never regret spending literally years in game.
Whenever i hear this music i think of you mom. Coming home from school and you giving me a big hug and playing wow with me after i did my homework. Whatever i would give to bring me back to those days, to bring me back to you. I love you mom and i hope you're in a better place. You're in my heart always and forever.
It's been a while that I listen to this very nostalgic track and Everytime I see your comment it brings tears to my eyes... may she rest in peace...
O god i pray for you and your family ...my heart broke when read your comment. :*(
So sorry for your loss. You are very blessed to have had a mother that would actually share your passion like that.
I'm not gonna say that I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm proud of you if you manage yourself despite it.
1:51-4:09
i miss you, dad. this always reminds me of how much time this crazy guy spent in storm peaks, farming the time lost proto drake on three seperate characters before it was account wide. thank you for all the memories we made and how much closer this game brought us together. i still miss you every day and i think of you listening to this
I played this at my best friends funeral because it was his favorite zone, music, raid and expansion.
We met farming The Lost Time Proto Drake. You will be missed brother.
damn man, sorry
Sorry for your loss.
1:51 is my favorite part. Wrath I want you back :/
Playing during Wrath was and will probably be my best gaming experience ever
+Unlimited Blade Works
Come relive the glory days on WARMANE private server! its great, I highly recommend it. although I wish people ran Ulduar and Naxx more.

:(
Yeah I had my best time there... God, how I miss this...
@@FelycitySky same here
I had so much fun playing wotlk but the cataclysm came changed everything game ended there for me

Oh yeah :*
best part.
That part is one of my all-time favourite tracks from WoW :) It reminds me so much of the "Ice Dance" from Edward Scissorhands too!
Looking for that time lost
tears down my eyes. amazing. Celestial almost.

The music is what kept me coming back and back over 7 years of playing. I still hum some of the tunes so many years later.
You could have just bought the soundtrack.
I did! The soundtrack was just the added bonus to everything else the game used to offer. It really was a fun game.
The same to me. Often enough I listen to the music without playing the game. The music is outright epic and superior to the music of other games. I even try to play the music on my synth or buy sheet music of WoW.
Wow, I made this post 10 years ago and I'm still coming back to listen. Truly a masterpiece.
@@swimmer751 Damn the initial comment was made 11 years ago - sometimes I wish I could go back to the simpler times.
I love this music it was the only thing keeping me company while i was hunting the time-lost proto drake
J20p00 Same!
So true!
And there was a faction you had to farm at a frozen lake with elementals each day, and the battleground frozen in ice...omg such good memories, seems like a millenia ago now..how problemless, joyful thing it was to be a teen those days, compared to be an adult now with all the negative changes it brings :)

Same here... miss this (maybe wasted) time. :D I´m not a classic Person, I miss THIS WoW time much more... :(
If there i one ting that blizz have always done right, it's music. This has to be my favourite music in the entirety of WoW.
Rory Cavanagh Blizz music is consistently the best of any video game I've played.
+Tyler Adam WoD was terrible, no emotion whatsoever, just drums and orcs yelling, mop was okay in some parts but none of them were even close to wotlk-cata
+Den Beuter MoP music was great...wrath was better though
Wrath definitely has the best soundtrack in the game!
+Kulzar yes
4:29
most nostalgia inducing music ever! So many good memories from this expansion
Full location nostalgia song. Right?🫡😊
I remember leveling my hunter in the Peaks. At 79, a couple of Alliance bastards started chasing me and killing me everywhere. Out of desperation, I ran all the way up to Garm, planning to lose them for good, and died again because of a lingering DoT.

Found it by accident... noone believed me!
Best things happen by accident.
Can’t believe I used spend many nights just flying around this beautiful zone, listening to the music, and setting up my picnic basket at the top of the tallest peak. This was 13 years ago….
those days when most players were 14/20 years old lol
4:20 - 5:12 ..... my god..... its beautiful....
That part alone makes this my favorite score for Wrath, probably top 3 of WoW period.
Spot on.
that part has a SOUL
but you have to start at the correct spot! 4:08
yeah that part is my favourite
this music is timeless, just like the farm for the time lost drake
Hits home.
Anyone ever try calling the Blizzard support line back when it was phone-based? This song played on an ENDLESS loop. Over an hour of "Please hold for Blizzard tech support, all our representatives are assisting other customers. WOOOOOOOAAOOHHOHHOOOAAAAOH WOOOOOOOOOHOOHOOOOOHOOOAHAHHAAWOHOOAAAAA"
tachikoma747 I got a mixture of this theme and Karazhan music. It was pretty sweet.
tachikoma747 OMG YESS ALL THE TIME
tachikoma747 this made me laugh xD
not bad background music to be put on hold to tho ;)

this makes me feel the presence of the time-lost proto drake
Storm Peaks/Ulduar was the single most incredible zone for me in WoW period. I can't help but cry when I hear this music.
That mini-heart attack when the rarespawn tracker lit your screen up just to find out it's that fucking little robot gnome or the ice-giant......
4:28 that's the stuff. I had my issues with this expansion but it brings back so many fond memories.
Out of all the zones to put the Time Lost Proto Drake in, this is the best, simply because with hours of farming, you'd never get tired of the music.
I joined during mid cata, but whenever I hear this I feel the massive nostalgia of the hours I spent listening to this music and leveling. I joined really late, but still this game has more nostalgia for me than anything else.
Same here mate Joined in mid cata and have nostalgia all the time even when I hear crossroads music !! God I love this game and gonna start again prob xd
WoW made me fluent in English. Not such a waste of time after all. :)
Laura H. Me too Not that fluent but I can understand ppl and communicate with them ^^
Lemmi Winks It's probably better than a lot of people who just learnt their English from high school and the odd movie where they pay little attention to the subtitles. ;)
some things should never have changed
It's 2019, and here I am. Coming back to this masterpiece. Even though blizzard has had their fair share of hate here recently, I will say this. This is the type of stuff that touches your soul, the type of stuff that makes you think about your life. You're beautiful life that is worth living.
1:51 4:08
just for personal reference lol
+Warlololock That part, every time I think of WotLK, that's one of the songs pieces I remember the most.
best part and nostalgic
Scrubs 7:30 begins the best part. You guys are to unpatient and to uncalm to know whats real love.
1:51 wants to make me cry :'( haha
impatient*
The only music ever to make me cry. I don't know why, I just get brought to tears when I listen to this. Fucking absolutely incredible. Heavenly.
Everyone´s talking about "Classic"... (I played it back then and now, but I never get hooked...)
I, for myself, enjoyed WotLK so much more... I miss THIS feeling.
4:10 - So much memories. Still my favorite zone !
I listened to this while standing on a high peak in the Sierra Nevada mountains, watching clouds rolling over the peaks to the south. It was an amazing few minutes. I really did shed a few tears, too, as others have said it makes them want to cry.
the wotlk music has to be the best music for wow and all of blizzard for that matter
I remember one time, I was questing around the peaks, and I had the music turned up. My brother calls out from the other room "Hey, what movie are you watching?" So I tell him I'm playing WoW and he's all like "Man! That music is awesome, I thought it was a movie!"
This is the soundtrack to my life and my dreams for the future, and the sound of the landscape when something is wrong. A good place to escape, be at peace and enjoy the moment.
Thank you very much for sharing :)
Still listening all these years on - helps me remember a simpler time but also being lost in the snowy peaks of Northrend.
The warcraft universe has accumulated what is likely to be the best collection of music in gaming history. I find it utterly baffling that the movie just was like "nah m8, we'll just use the same same lil jingle for the soundtrack the whole way through". Why. So many things to draw from..
To be honest, you get more change in musical theme over the course of the 2 hours of the movie than you would doing quests for 2 hours. They used a single leitmotif to establish a strong connection to the emotional tone of each scene without confusing the audience (in an already confusing movie). I would have liked them to have 2 themes, the Orc and Human theme, but any more than that and the message the music is trying to send would get muddled.
Wrath... the pinnacle of quality WoW... and also the beginning of its end...have no doubt.-
-Achilles of Silvermoon-.
I've still enjoyed WoW since, but it's never been like it was in TBC and Wrath. This music takes me back. Those vast mountains, the Titan constructions, the sense that this was somewhere mysterious and dangerous... so great!
whats even worse, is listening to to the music bringing back all the nostalgia and wanting to go back, but cant because i remember how much it has changed for the worse and know ill just be let down again.
The years of camping... The endless hours of listening to this music waiting for what is rightfully mine... Some day... I will find the Time-Lost Proto Drake... Only on that day will I cancel my World of Warcraft subscription with pride of what greatness I have achieved.
Never got it lol
@@AlrightThere There is a chance for you to finally get it, it wont take long.
@@TheMongobruder I quit the game :(
It's strange, on one hand I love hearing all the stunning music from Vanilla, TBC, WotLK and Cata. On the other hand it gives me a very raw pain deep in the chest. Makes me miss those days and those people so much.
1:51, like that guy below me said. Every time I listen to that part here or in game.. sends shivers down my spine.. Absolutely beautiful..
Listening to this majestic song, sitting on my porch while the rain pours down, watching lightning streak across the sky, is... an experience. What a wonderful sight.
always get me goosebump
Awww damn. I'll love this music till the end of my days. I remember flying though this area and stoping on one mountan just to listhen.....
1:52 to 4:09 for me. So relaxing.
it chills me everytime
This is one of those zones iv spent hours just aimlessly running or flying around to look at things and listen to the music, beautiful beautiful zone.
2:48 - 4:10 is a truly incredible piece of music, when i went to storm peaks, I loved the eerie but epic feel - rivaled only by the Lich King soundtrack in the Wotlk Trailer. Blizzard really put effort into the game.
these endless hours camping for the timelost protodrake and listening to this epic soundtrack..
good old times..
The choir that starts at 02:47 always makes me remember my paladin :(
Por qué a tu paladín ?
Because i spent a lot of time in Storm Peaks with my paladin and this music got stuck in my head. The part at 02:47 was my favorite part of the entire song. To me it sounds like some chant in a temple and paladins are holy warriors. I really liked the lore of Warcraft and WOTLK was the best expansion for me. That paladin was my favorite character i had ever played. It was so much fun. Now every time i hear this i remember him, and that makes me sad.
Igor The Headstrong Oh ! Que buena anécdota Igor, ahora supongo que te encuentras en Draenor, un saludo !
No, i left the game during Cataclysm. This is all just a fond memory.
Funny, the female Choir at the 1:51 mark makes me remember my Mage
The Choir voices in this are so amazing. The atmosphere of the music fits for both finding something incredibly holy in discovery (in game was Ulduar), but also a very cold atmosphere
Still gives me the chills
10 years later... it still string my heart. I think a large part of the success of this game was the music. It's captivating.
I wish the soundtrack album had the part from 2:47 to 4:08. Just that simple music with the remarkable choir, so evocative.
whenever i happened to enter storm peaks, the music always catches me off-guard. it's not necessarily that I like his music but when I was farming time lost Proto Drake, I effectively listen to this for almost 5 days straight. in a way I'm happy, because it brings me back to when i was just playing the game not knowing what i was doing.
As a Bm hunter, i spend a lot of time here, looking for that epic spirit beast - Skoll. After lots of looking around I found him :D I still remember this beautiful sountrack playing while I was taming him
Only time I found him...I wasn't there for him. I was buying the parts for the Motorcycle. I saw him come up on my NPC search addon. I was like holy shit! Ran to him, was the first one there, went to go Tame...and I forgot my current pet was out and it fucking one shot him.
I am still pissed.
NeoDMC lol, Ifeel your pain. I would've abandoned my current pet for such a crime.
Same thing happened to me on my second hunter with loque after 2 days of camping, my king Krush decided to pop out and kill it mid tame, I was livid XD
I'll never forget this music. After all the adventuring, coming here felt like i was going to the ends of the earth, and yet some feeling of being on the cusp of something amazing, or exciting and wondrous never left
I blew up a mammoth there.. can't say i'm glad of it, but i did it!
Its 2021, amidst wows destruction i return here. I first heard this track when I was 9 and played a dk on my dads account. So much has changed and little for the better. This game captured my childhood but some whispers still linger as this music howls through the mountain tops of the storm peaks.
Ode to the memories long passed, but seldom forgotten.
4:09 onward is simply wonderful, brings back so much memories from my WoW period :)
This music brings tears to my eyes when I think of the good memories I had as a teen with my brothers, cousins and WOW friends. Wow will never go back to these good times. :/
This is breathtaking, such emotions
Oh my this brings back memories. I spent waaay too much time in Storm Peaks due to camping TLPD, Skoll and getting the White Polar Bear. That was about a years worth of time spent in Storm Peaks and was easily the best year I ever had in WoW.
This music makes me want to farm herbs again.
This thing is emotional, then misterious, tense and somber, that creates another epic music.
Time lost proto drake anyone?
+Alexander Petkov almost, I see his dead body killed by a Warlock Orc :(
Exactly + deepholm (aeonaxx)
*cries*
Camped him for 22 days straight
camped for 2 months before i bagged time-lost. I got Aeonaxx less than 24 hours before i got time-lost, just by luck. (Vyra had just been killed so i knew i had time, decided to go check deepholm, and there was Aeonaxx).
Still remember this music really well after camping for TLPD for 1 month and getting it, but I really did nothing else for that whole month. No dungeons, no raids, nothing! Just login, fly around, camp in a secure location, fly again, and repeat.
I wish they would make another expansion as good as this.
+sukiesoya
Pandaria was pretty good and had awesome music as well.
+DreadfulDave yeah it was better than wod
suki.. thats not hard to accomplish....
@@KingDav33 Pandaria was the biggest failure of them, there wasn't any connection related to the original or even spin off's story line. They made it coz pandas were actually so cute x'D ....how poor.
They made Legion.
Ah you're right. I spent a long time on hold to Blizzard once with this song playing over and over again. I loved the music! Didn't know it was from The Storm Peaks.
Lich King...never forget ;( ;(...
Love this song, while I fly back to ulduar and it reminds me whole story of my game, for me it all began right here.
WOTLK is by far the best expansion to ever come out of WoW. The only level range I do not rush through and sometimes just come back to listen to the music. Wish Blizzard would bring back this quality of story instead of the lame stuff brought in WoD...
+IrishZimz I stopped playing shortly after Cataclysm came out. I loved the game to death, but it was sucking away my time, life, and soul so I had to stop. I'd have to say Wrath was the best expansion I played; the locations were simply amazing. There was feeling in the zones you were in. Even "Boring" Tundra was an interesting zone, despite it being the least of all the zones in my opinion. The only other zone in my opinion that came close to those zones in Wrath, was Eversong Woods.
Im still hearing it once in a while since I played wotlk back then. best ambience in whole wow to me
ohh these glory times :(
This is one of the tracks that kept me coming back and back to play. I played WoW for the music more than anything else. It captured me every single time. I came back to this area to farm over and over just because I loved the music so much.
1:52 magical
Yes. I came here for that. Thanks for the cue.
I can't believe WTLK is almost 10 years, for me..... best expansion ever. Already quit wow like 6 years ago. Very nostalgic.
1:53 is like: farewell my friend, we will meet one day again ...in the storm peaks
:(
sorry for posting so many comments :)
Everytime the weather gets really cold, I start this music. Winter, come back soon.
When Wow was a good game. Good memories of WOTLK.
I feel the same way. I will always play. Even just for the comfort of being able to log in. I can still fly to this place and just enjoy it.
Time lost proto drake :,)
FUCK YOU!
JK I lost the thing twice pre:cross realm when I was watching a youtube video, missed it by like 30secs. I wanted to cry in a corner... ;n;
I hated that wretched thing...
...still farming.
HacksignKT I missed it by 5 seconds once..serious. The annoying thing was I had just stopped to reply to a guildmates question. Fly around the next corner. NPC Finder goes BLING!!! TIme Lost Proto Drake comes into sight. Prepare to land on roof of building in front of its flight path to death grip it with my DK, but as i do so it suddenly veers away to the right where some FUCKEN ALLIANCE PALLY had taunted it.
I think i'm over it now though.....*wrings hands*
Yeah,this music makes me think about the days I farmed him :) After 4 months,I got it... This music 4.21 is ABSOLUTELY great,it played when my own TLPD spawned :)
First snow of the year: BAM put this soundtrack on while looking outside.
I just want to say my son was born 7 months ago and i named him Arthas
Some nights when things weren't going well, I just logged in and flew across Azeroth on my dragon, watching the landscape and listening to the music. This game is a masterpiece.
tfw you will never get the Time Lost Proto Drake
*;_;*
Oh, wow, after listening this song for so many times, it just becomes so relaxing that you won't even notice until you wake up.
haha.
I can honestly say WoW was the best gaming experience of my life. I quit right before Cataclysm (glad I did)
Still… I miss it sometimes…so we have the music to remind us of all the fun adventures we had.
Today I will usually throw this music on in the background while playing League of Legends.
Same here. Nothing was ever the same after WotLK. Removal of RPG features, removal of group quest, no need for world exploration, only LFG and LFR, zero socializing...Vanilla-WotLK was nearly spiritual experince. It's hard to explain if you haven't been there, but so many of us have. Wish I could go back there for at least a day. It's the best gaming experience I've ever had in my life.
I was there for that part and I can tell you the game is better now, though the music and theme of WotLK will always be divine for me, everything has just gone up up and away with every expansion.
i only played the classic version of wotlk and this music still tugs at my heart-strings. its only been like 6 months wtf!
4:09 =goosebumps
the bit that starts at 1:50 simply leaves me speechless, how music can be this beautiful.
It all begins at 1:52
The first part always makes me drop a tear or two .. Simply perfect.
min 1:50
Even in the middle of summer, it makes me cold just listening to this.
Goosebumps 1:51
This music was amazing, it made you feel awe and wonder. Yet it had an intimidating feel to it as well which matched the environment perfectly, we were in an ancient part of Azeroth where Titans forged giant stone beings and massive machinery. The first life. It does leave you in awe and wonder. It's magnificient. I loved WOTLK, hands down the best.
the good part starts in 4:10
I am so thankful and I really do realize what a luck I had that I could play this masterpiece in its best ages and times. Thank you for everything. I never regret spending literally years in game.
