Happy 20 years of World of Warcraft, that's an insane achievement! Watch Why Call of Duty Isn't Dead Yet next! ruclips.net/video/AdxOP9uPj6A/видео.html
Same-ish story. Son begged me to get it in 2006. Then talked me into making a toon. Then we fought over the computer. Then we had two computers, and in a few years from that went to Blizzcon together. So many awesome memories, and an expansion release was as much of a holiday as Christmas! Snacks made, days off taken. It's been a big part of our family fun. He's 31 now and we still play.
I remember running 2km from school at lunch time to the EB Games/Game Stop just to grab my copy of Burning Crusade. I grabbed it, ran back and stopped at my house on the way, popped the disc in to start downloading. I think it was winter time in Canada, because I remember running through a frozen cornfield to get there. I remember vibrating and shaking with excitment when I started downloading it and first booted it up.
Started playing at 12 years old, now 29. At the time being in a broken family, living in a post-communist hellhole. World of Warcraft was my world, my escape. I forced myself to improve my English so that I could understand quest texts and delve deep into the lore. I am 100% convinced that my life situation would have broken me if I didn't have this world to seek refuge in, when at my lowest. It's more than a game, and that's why it's unstoppable.
@@clarksmith494 The world can certainly be quite ugly indeed. Recovering WoW addict here, and I still think about the game every day. IRL RNG is and likely always will feel too dynamic and at certain times, outright unfair. It is what it is, I guess.
I am a 74 yr old Granny in a couple of weeks. Built my pc when my teenage son brought it home and I was hooked. Made a Tauren Enhancement Shaman and never changed this main. Played since Warcraft and never missed an expansion. My fav was Wrath. I’ve made many RL friends but no it’s not like it use to be. I stay with WOW yet stopped raiding a few expansions back. I mainly PVP now and collect mounts. I love Alterac Valley because it’s a throwback to what I now refer to as the good ole daze! 😜
I'm a metalhead and this year I went to Wacken festival. I have my vest full of band patches... and also my Horde symbol patch. Many people stoped me at the festival just to talk about WoW, and it is because our love to his place all along this year. I feel more connected to it than the share love to the band we were seeing on the stage!
@@jeffreysandoval8367 now’s the perfect time to get into it, I highly recommend watching a quick catch up full lore video just so you know what’s going on till the war within
Don't start. You can't stop once you start. It's worse than smoking. It is infinite. It is everything. It would take a 100 lifetimes to complete everything.
December 5th, 2004. I made my main, a warlock. I was 23 years old at the time. If you want an example of why this game isn't dead, go watch the Story of Ibelin. That's ONE story amongst millions. This game has saved people's lives, it gave people that couldn't have friends the ability to do so. It isn't just a game anymore. Its something else.
That doesn't really relate to why it's dead, though and doesn't change the fact the game is dying. It's losing more players than it's gaini9ng, the new player experience implemented years ago is extremely bad for new players, and even a lot of the old players are sick of the direction the game is going.
@@Lucas-o3m2x Reread my statement. I gave a reason why it isn't dying. Also. I've been here since release, and that entire time I've heard, "The game is dying." or "This is the wow killer." or "I'll never come back again." MMO numbers fluctate all the time. For every person that is turned off from WoW I can show you one that loves it or at least loves it but sees the flaws.
@@CrystalPrelude You didn't actually givve a reason. You made a statement that millions of people had a good time with the game a decade ago --- a statement that doesn't change the fact the game is dying. The game *IS* dying, all you have to do is look at the numbers. Don't confuse "the game is dying" with "the game will be dead in a month". War Within has low player counts, no one is buying tokens as much as they used to, world has been basically empty since launch. Classic Cata was DOA.
@Lucas-o3m2x people have been saying wow is dead or dying since the beginning of WoW truth is, it's not dead nor dying and is still the most played MMO on the internet, only game to come close to its playerbase is old school runescape
Yeah but don’t forget. It’s $5,000 spent on just 1 game lol. Asking for money for the expansions was kind of ridiculous. You’re already paying $15 a month and every 2-3 years they want you to also drop $60…
1 game that's lasted for 20 years, with 20 years of content, updates, patches, features, upgrades.. That's a lot of work. IMO it's a very very cheap hobby. Try owning a motorcycle or a racing sim or horses or game collector or almost any other hobby for 20 years and see how that goes.
@@Lensfort Agree - hard agree. It's too pricey to go the movies more than once or twice a year (have family) but playing the game is really good value as a hobby. Plus you can pick it up, leave it, do other stuff, (chores, work, read a book, have a meal, play a different game) come back and it's always there for you. Been playing since 06 and still enjoy it.
57 years old here. Only took a break during retail. Classic being released was awesome. (Had to pay off me house and send the little tackers to Uni). Night Elf Hunter through and through. Thanks for the video mate. 👍🤠
Well would be funny to compare, how much money people have spend on booze, coke, snacks etc. in same time period, but I don't think anyone have really been keeping track of that, heh.
This game, when i am subscribed, i notice i spend way less money because i spend much more on plenty of other titles each month when im not subscribed to WoW.
The absolute enjoyment I got from playing wow from TBC to MOP was just insane. I remember sitting back at one point and thinking, I felt sorry for the people that didn’t play the game and got to feel the same enjoyment I had playing wow.
'Our responsibility is to bring joy and fun to people around the world' (the gulp-struggle - did they buy that?) Seeing that face as he says that, reminds me of that quote from Jaws "The thing about a shark, it's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When it comes at you it doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites you, and those black eyes roll over white" aka Bobby-boy, the shark, when he gets your money
Zenkai Goose is quickly becoming one of my favorite RUclipsrs.. Love the long format videos, history, comedy, information, etc. Just everything about these videos is perfect. Keep it up, man!
I play for 20 years while keeping pace irl in business and family. It has been pretty challenging at some points, had to take brakes like we all pretty much did. I met, know/knew so many people in-game that lived, laughed and loved trough the game, some now happily married to a person they met in Azeroth, some actually living off the game nowadays and other actually living for the game designed their life and careers so they never have to quit WoW. Some are not with us anymore, some were helped to overcome mental breakdowns and suicidal thoughts by their guildies. Millions of players, millions of destinies and one world that somehow unite and not divide them. A world i remember meeting my first online friend in when i was 11 y.o. helping me understand the quests and sending me health pots through the mail bought from an "auction house?" in a land far far away. A world that hold so many stories my now almost 6 y.o. son is excited to learn and i'm more than happy to share =) Happy anniversary, my friends and fellow adventurers!
I started playing WoW at the ripe age of 4 years old in 2006, my whole family is on this game. I had made a male human warrior as my first character and named it after our cat Grendal. I played that game for hours on end, still going till this day, and I could never replace the endless memories I have with this game. All the people, all the sweet moments you make, it’s unreal and I can never fully describe it.
Same I started TBC in 2008 when I was 7 years old on my uncles computer lol. Was hooked since. I did not have a max level character until cataclysm w my 85 shaman
Why not do the same in real life and go out and explore and make friends where it actually matters? When this game eventually dies because NOTHING is forever. What will you do? Find another game and call that a miracle for yourself? Stop hyping up things that have no effect on you in reality. If you went out and made friends and relationships and connections you would be better off in life than wasting away playing a game from a company who was doing cubical raids and harassing employees.
@@rowan1275 Sorry you couldn’t experience it the way I did, but that doesn’t mean you can just label my experiences as a waste of time lol. I think you have the wrong perspective on gaming based on your reply.
Provided it’s an actual fun and not just sunk cost fallacy. I know from experience that I’ve played wow for a long time after I stopped actually having fun with it, because I felt all that money and time invested couldn’t just be for nothing if I abandoned my character.
@@borek92 Indeed sunk cost fallacy for me it was. DoTA 2. After 10 thousand hours and "some" money spent, leaving was so hard. But once I did, never came back. 4 years clean.
as someone that played from vanilla release all the way through Dragonflight (sure I took long breaks between). more towards the end a statement was made.." I got a lot of memories attached to it" couldnt ring more true. I am STILL part of the same guild I helped create back in BC with some members from a previous guild in Vanilla (though it is mostly a ghost town of dead characters now) and a few of those members I still talk to, to this day. I have a metric TON of memories from my years in Wow (Same with Star Wars Galaxies) that will remain dear to me. Every year once the snow starts to fall, I find myself buying the newest xpac or resubbing again, to go back to some of those memories and I choose this specific time to resub because it takes me back to the first times I was looking outside my windows and watching the snow fall, while my character/s were standing in Ironforge.
Only the lastest batch of people whom they really pissed off when they deleted the guild banks items, are not coming back. Which is why you are seeing the huge push for subs. There are still players in the game who do not read the forum and do not even know that guild bank items were deleted. So blizzard is now pushing hard for people to sub for 12 before they find out. I quit this POS. You do not get to delete my items and not give them back. If you want money for doing that you are smoking something worse than weed. I left that abusive relationship and am playing FF14 where i am treated with respect.
@@MatthewTheWanderer Ask me if i give a toss about the game. Ask me if i am still playing the game after they deleted all in the guild bank. Ask yourself if the financial data they have on you is safe and ask yourself how safe your characers are. The only people still playing wow at this point are people who cant walk away from abusive relationships. You probably. People who are so fricken addicted they have no life and people who are so invested they simply cant walk despite being in an abusive relationship with blizzard. Its only losers liek you who still play this game now.
@@suminshizzles6951 YOU are the loser here! STFU! NO ONE gives a fuck about anything you lost in the game! Only worthless morons think that is something worth complaining about! Only losers care about the Guild Bank AT ALL! YOU are sad and pathetic and everyone is laughing at you and your "misfortune"! Also, even though I don't need to defend myself from an idiot like you, I am not addicted to this game at all and barely even play it.
@@suminshizzles6951 actuyu dont have a life I bearly have time to log on wow who the hell has time to start a whole new MMO especially a cat simulator lol wow has always been good just because u lost some items on the guild bank doesn't make it bad guy cry some more and enjoy ur dead game ff14 .everyone quit that game lol ur obviously a FF 14 player no true wow player crys and then mentions ff14 gtfo
Great video. I started playing in ‘04 but left after Wrath; just started playing again about 3 weeks ago. Feel a bit more up to speed after your round-up. Definitely agree with you, friendship and memories is what makes WoW stand the test of time.
That was the best explanation of the significance of Arthas to the WoW storyline and why the game simply couldn’t be the same after his defeat. Brilliant
I have been playing WoW for 20 years now. It's had it's highs and lows and you captured that. Mists of Pandaria was my favorite expansion. Loved the video and man did the nostalgia kick in.
been playing since I was 11, I'm turning 30 in a month. Ive taken breaks, didnt like some patches and loved others. People seem to get mad when they arent having fun the entire time. It's a 20 year old game guys it's gonna have ups and downs
The intro made me chuckle but after sitting through the whole video, that ending made me teared up a bit, the contrast with the intro is just beautiful. 20 years and i always come back to this game, Wow is home.
As a LONGTIME wow player, this was an amazing video and perfect encapsulates my time and experience on this game. It's a love hate relationship sometimes but in the end it has been probably one of the most amazing experiences I could call mine in this crazy world we live in
Well, we if talk about WoW which was its own kingdom in the digital world. Then yes, it's already died. The number of people playing it back then, the culture it produced, it's just not even close man.
@@iz5808 I think that massive popularity was kind of a once in a generation thing. It wasn’t just the game, it was the right thing at the right place at the right time.
@@iz5808 classic and it's 3 expansions where absolutely incredible. But it's also one of the few games out there. So yeah ofc it will have great numbers. If classic came out today and no one heard of it before it wouldn't do as good becouse the amount of games out now is like 100x higher.
WoW already had time travel pretty much from the beginning since the Caverns of Time existed, and you could travel back to Old Hillsbrad and the Black Morass in TBC as well, so it wasn't really a new thing with WoD.
@@alyssumn3884I guess you get excited by anything huh? Even when a car crosses by you on the road you're jumping up and down for joy slapping your chest like a r**ard lol
playing since 2008. not playing as much and competetiv as in the first years but still love it. when i have nothing to play i start WoW and have a good time.
2:30 Ahhh… that nostalgia, even I started game in 2016 in Legion in the age of 16 I can still feel the soul of game. Game helped me to recover from bullyshipment, it forged me with Saurfang, Grommash and Tryanda
3:50 I was an EverQuest player, and to this end someone at Blizzard had the genius insight to hire on a swathe of top EQ Raiders as game designers for WOW. The unendiable Jeff Kaplan was amongst that group (he was a top-tier Magician in EQ). And the celebrity thing makes perfect sense. These instantly recognizable people could run around in Azeroth and remain totally anonymous.
I started playing on the 10th anniversary, I was 9 years old and my brothers just introduced me to the game, I just finished making my fifth female Blood Elf Hunter because I liked to make pretty characters, I had the Molten Corgi summoned 24/7, life was good. Rest in Peace Mats "Ibelin" Steen.
Great video, but you should've mentioned why Blizzard reconsidered Classic at all - which is them copyright striking the private servers, getting utterly destroyed online for it and then consulting with the owner of those servers to make vanilla themselves.
In a world where i can barly pay attention to anything for more than 5 minutes, it's insane how your videos keep me engaged for their whole duration, and i want more!
It sucked me in when I was 12. Got me through my parents divorce. And it was just the ultimate comfort food for so long. No matter how shitty my life was I could hop on wow and have a great time with my friends. Wotlk-cataclysm were the most fun imo. Dungeon finder just brought random people together like never before. And players like me who played solo more often got the chance to run dungeons without sitting around capital cities wasting time. If another game like wow ever comes out with modern tech, graphics, and gameplay I don't think I'll ever log off 😂
Auto dungeon finder and teleport ruined the game in my opinion. It’s nice to have a LFG tab to find and que with people. But it’s a lot more special when you and your group have to make the journey to the dungeon.
Never played it, but as usual, the ending of your content is highly moving, and speaks to the very best of our collective pass time. I'll say it again, this's the finest content of its kind on RUclips. Thank you mate.

My two absolute favorite games in the whole world are: World of Warcraft and The sims, so when you listed both of those games, I personally felt that
child services took a couple of my sims children away from me after they got stuck on the sidewalk. Buns of steal also got me killed after I realized I forgot to add pool stairs. this was funny because my ashes had no problem finding their way out of the pool. Diablo2 was pretty cool too. diablo3 was awful. specially the secret cow level. looked like my little pony
@@Taerynthea I play wow with my husband, and I'm generally the driver. I'm also the one who thinks the fastest way to get anywhere is always a straight line instead of following the road. this means many deaths due to falling, followed by hubby doing all ooh ah death noises and me laughing my butt off
Truth is, neither blizzard nor the players know exactly what they want. Players were right that they wanted Vanilla Classic, but then they asked for TBC Classic, which turned out they didn't really wanna play at all. Very few did. WoW has had some rough expansions lately - but people are also just tired of WoW. Many people have played this game for 20 years and wish they could feel the way they did when playing the game when it was something new, but it just isn't anymore. And for that reason, WoW ALSO gets a lot of shit unjustified I too, wish I could feel the way about WoW today, as I did in 2005. But then I go back and play Classic and realize that it's just not the same in 2024.
@@ImAnOcean No they don't. People were hyping up TBC, then Wrath, talking about how amazing it's gonna be to play these amazing expansions again, just for the same people to stop playing these expansions 2 months in after rushing all the content like it was a chore. Cause playing old versions of the game just ain't the same in 2024 as it was back in the day, but people don't get that..
The only thing dead about the game are the idiots claiming it is. I have heard well over 100 games that were supposed to be WOW killers and the majority of them are already dead.
WOW this was amazing. Not sure if it made me wanna hop back into the game or just made me sad a world I once loved is now... more or less gone. Either way, subscribed instantly!
I started playing in 2005, I was 25 years old. During my late 20's I hit a rough spot in life, and WoW literally got me through it. I knew even if my day was bad, I could log in and just tool around on my rogue for hours. I spent at least one New Years Eve in Orgimmar, many sad nights but mostly had wonderful moments ingame. I met friends who I am still in touch with, and bonded with others I didn't know played. I may not raid anymore, but I still hop in and roll around, doing my best to keep up with current content. WoW will always have a special place in my heart, even if I haven't always agreed with their direction.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I LOVED MoP. I especially love it now knowing the expansions that came next. It was the last time for me that my progress through the game made sense, actual combat play for my class worked and was fun, the world was open and beautiful and not a nightmare to navigate, the auction house was still viable, professions were straightforward, and people still talked to each other in guild chat. It was also drop dead gorgeous with a great story. My order: Wrath, MoP, BC, Legion, DF, Bfa, WoD, SL. I rate WoD above SL because it at least engaged me enough to play it through. I played Shadowlands for about two weeks and then didn't touch WoW again until Dragonflight. A lot of words for all this, but I WoW is something I love, has been a part of my life in ways that could make this post 5 times the length. I care about that virtual world.
my favorite xpac really. I love pet battles and 1st version of brawlers guild is still my favorite thing ever. I spent hours watching people die to hexos :)
Nothing wrong with that expansion, except for all the bugged questlines, that is. So many daily quests that were still broken even years after that expansion was new.
I personally like SL more than WoD, BFA and Dragonflight. For me Dragonflight is worst of them, i play it for 1 month maybe and got so bored with all that dragon's bs (i came back in season 2 for 2 weeks just for the mythic+ mount, cause he is very cool). I like SL because, i love games that are more into dark stuff, occultism and death in general. And i am one of the few people who actually enjoy Torghast runs.
WoW! I am completely new to the game here in 2024 and am currently trying to understand the story from The Burning Crusade from 20 years back to The War Within. I have 20 years of gameplay to go through but am amazed at the evolution of this game. Great video! Got me through a rollercoaster of emotions!
My mom used to play with my cousin back when she was pregnant with me in 2008. Nowadays i dont want to look into other expansions again and ive stuck to wrath for 6 years now(my mom taught me how to play when i was 10). This game is everything to me and i find comfort and home most between the snowy mountains of storm peaks. Wotlk had been very important for my whole family and i know i will carry on the legacy and one day show my children, nephews and grandkids a world they are bound to love
TLDW: It survived as long as it did because it was a masterpiece at launch and got millions of people extremely enfranchised. So even if it sucks NOW, it doesn‘t matter, because their customers literaply grew up on this universe and will never abandon it, no matter how bad it gets.
I've recently started playing again since there are no good new games. It,s a WOTLK private server, but the memories it bringa me back are the best. Also, imagine in 2024 deciding to go back and play a game from 2010 because the gamint companies aren't capable of making a game worth playing more than a week.
that 5k total of game time paid for.. is like as much as i paid for my PC. That aint shit when you look at how much hours of gameplay and enjoyment the game has given me.. id pay double that. no questions asked.
My wife and I played this game for 10+ years like it was a 2nd job. And today we will always be chasing the high that this game brought but no other game can replicate. Movies like these is the best alternative. Allows us a glimpse down memory lane when games were fun. Thank you for the time to make this video.
I started playing a few months before the dark portal. What a journey it has been. Never played any other game for 20 years. Wow just has something other games don't.
I quit WOW just before Cataclysm. I am, to this day, still searching for a game that gives the same incredible experiences as WOTLK did. I think I'll never find it.
In 2007 I used so many sick days to play WoW (and watch price is right and Bob Ross reruns) that my high school sent a letter home saying I couldn’t be sick anymore without a doctors note 🤣😂🫠. My dad was PISSED. If you weren’t there in the 2000s you’ll never understand how revolutionary this game was.
I remember a snowstorm hit on a patch Tuesday in like early 2006 and school cancelled. My brother and I were so fricken mad it didn't hit on any other weekday. Not only were the servers down all day long, It took hours and hours to download the dang patch.
@@iz5808exactly. Corporate people run everything into the ground. Wow as a culture isn’t dead though and people still play. Just log into TurtleWow and see Stormwind so crowded you can’t even make out who’s who, it’s just a MASSIVE blob of characters all moving around on top of each other.
First time watching you, what a fantastic and well made video, must have taken alot of time and effort. Captured the spirit of the WoW fanbase, I hope it survives for another 20 years!
Day one player... still playing (not up to newest expansion just yet) - but made lots of friends and it helped me stay in contact with those that moved away .
That infromation is not accurate. The og team started working in WoW with 40 ppl but the team quickly went to 100 for its releaze in 2004. That said, 100 people to get the game out in 2004 with all the content it had and polish, is still way too impressive.
I think I spend around $500 for the last 15 years. 13 years ago my account got hacked and the hacker transferred all the top items to my account and use on AH. By the time I got my account back i have tone of stuffs and golds, so all the gold for real money. Since the tokens introduced I used gold to paid my monthly subscription
This was an amazing video! I liked your humor I lost it over the spacegoat thing . Everything seemed on point I'm glad you played as well you really honed in on some really great points that felt truthful. This coming from a guy who's played since tBC and has a horde symbol tattooed on his back, it's part of a bigger nerd tattoo with Chrono trigger and FF7 themes too but solid video referencing WoW from a players view. Subbing just for this😅
I played a lot and then quit in Wrath, coming back as an adult it feels so so good. It's weird that no other games capture the way your character feels like wow. It just feels so much better to attack and be hit and run and move than anything. One of my best friends to this day was because I really needed a healer in bgs....
I started playing in 2005 towards the end of vanilla with my cousin. Got to experience the midnight launches of BC and WOTLK played all the way up to WOD and started falling of after that. I’m now almost 40 and I would love to see a proper wow revival. All these years later my cousin and I still talk about our wow days and how we’d come back in a heart beat.
Happy 20 years of World of Warcraft, that's an insane achievement!

I've been here since release, and that entire time I've heard, "The game is dying." or "This is the wow killer." or "I'll never come back again." MMO numbers fluctate all the time. For every person that is turned off from WoW I can show you one that loves it or at least loves it but sees the flaws.
@@CrystalPrelude You didn't actually givve a reason. You made a statement that millions of people had a good time with the game a decade ago --- a statement that doesn't change the fact the game is dying. The game *IS* dying, all you have to do is look at the numbers.
Don't confuse "the game is dying" with "the game will be dead in a month". War Within has low player counts, no one is buying tokens as much as they used to, world has been basically empty since launch. Classic Cata was DOA.
@Lucas-o3m2x people have been saying wow is dead or dying since the beginning of WoW truth is, it's not dead nor dying and is still the most played MMO on the internet, only game to come close to its playerbase is old school runescape

Huge thanks Josh, means a lot coming from a big creator like yourself
$4968.38 for a life long hobby... That's fricken cheap.
Yeah but you will probably add money to spend on other shit too
Yeah but don’t forget. It’s $5,000 spent on just 1 game lol. Asking for money for the expansions was kind of ridiculous. You’re already paying $15 a month and every 2-3 years they want you to also drop $60…
1 game that's lasted for 20 years, with 20 years of content, updates, patches, features, upgrades..
That's a lot of work.
IMO it's a very very cheap hobby.
Try owning a motorcycle or a racing sim or horses or game collector or almost any other hobby for 20 years and see how that goes.
@@Lensfort Agree - hard agree. It's too pricey to go the movies more than once or twice a year (have family) but playing the game is really good value as a hobby. Plus you can pick it up, leave it, do other stuff, (chores, work, read a book, have a meal, play a different game) come back and it's always there for you. Been playing since 06 and still enjoy it.

57 years old here. Only took a break during retail. Classic being released was awesome. (Had to pay off me house and send the little tackers to Uni).
Night Elf Hunter through and through. Thanks for the video mate. 👍🤠
@@mike9347 same here! Played for 7 years, stopped at Pandaria. Just downloaded it all again……at 57 😅
5k is nothing over 20 years. I've know people who spend thousands on booze every 6 months.
Well would be funny to compare, how much money people have spend on booze, coke, snacks etc. in same time period, but I don't think anyone have really been keeping track of that, heh.
Yup and holidays! couple of grand for 1 or 2 weeks!
This game, when i am subscribed, i notice i spend way less money because i spend much more on plenty of other titles each month when im not subscribed to WoW.
Try thousands every week.
For $14.99 you have unlimited entertainment a Month it's very cheap fun hobby.
The absolute enjoyment I got from playing wow from TBC to MOP was just insane. I remember sitting back at one point and thinking, I felt sorry for the people that didn’t play the game and got to feel the same enjoyment I had playing wow.

Well done, very fun watch. Played since vanilla and this hit all the right notes.
Zenkai Goose is quickly becoming one of my favorite RUclipsrs.. Love the long format videos, history, comedy, information, etc. Just everything about these videos is perfect. Keep it up, man!
I play for 20 years while keeping pace irl in business and family. It has been pretty challenging at some points, had to take brakes like we all pretty much did. I met, know/knew so many people in-game that lived, laughed and loved trough the game, some now happily married to a person they met in Azeroth, some actually living off the game nowadays and other actually living for the game designed their life and careers so they never have to quit WoW. Some are not with us anymore, some were helped to overcome mental breakdowns and suicidal thoughts by their guildies. Millions of players, millions of destinies and one world that somehow unite and not divide them. A world i remember meeting my first online friend in when i was 11 y.o. helping me understand the quests and sending me health pots through the mail bought from an "auction house?" in a land far far away. A world that hold so many stories my now almost 6 y.o. son is excited to learn and i'm more than happy to share =) Happy anniversary, my friends and fellow adventurers!
You must be american.
I started playing WoW at the ripe age of 4 years old in 2006, my whole family is on this game. I had made a male human warrior as my first character and named it after our cat Grendal. I played that game for hours on end, still going till this day, and I could never replace the endless memories I have with this game. All the people, all the sweet moments you make, it’s unreal and I can never fully describe it.
Same except in 2010 at age 4
Same I started TBC in 2008 when I was 7 years old on my uncles computer lol. Was hooked since. I did not have a max level character until cataclysm w my 85 shaman
Why not do the same in real life and go out and explore and make friends where it actually matters? When this game eventually dies because NOTHING is forever. What will you do? Find another game and call that a miracle for yourself? Stop hyping up things that have no effect on you in reality. If you went out and made friends and relationships and connections you would be better off in life than wasting away playing a game from a company who was doing cubical raids and harassing employees.
@@rowan1275 Sorry you couldn’t experience it the way I did, but that doesn’t mean you can just label my experiences as a waste of time lol. I think you have the wrong perspective on gaming based on your reply.

5 grand for 20 years of fun. It was worth it. Go play golf for 20 years...
Provided it’s an actual fun and not just sunk cost fallacy. I know from experience that I’ve played wow for a long time after I stopped actually having fun with it, because I felt all that money and time invested couldn’t just be for nothing if I abandoned my character.
@@borek92 Indeed sunk cost fallacy for me it was. DoTA 2. After 10 thousand hours and "some" money spent, leaving was so hard. But once I did, never came back. 4 years clean.
as someone that played from vanilla release all the way through Dragonflight (sure I took long breaks between). more towards the end a statement was made.." I got a lot of memories attached to it" couldnt ring more true. I am STILL part of the same guild I helped create back in BC with some members from a previous guild in Vanilla (though it is mostly a ghost town of dead characters now) and a few of those members I still talk to, to this day. I have a metric TON of memories from my years in Wow (Same with Star Wars Galaxies) that will remain dear to me. Every year once the snow starts to fall, I find myself buying the newest xpac or resubbing again, to go back to some of those memories and I choose this specific time to resub because it takes me back to the first times I was looking outside my windows and watching the snow fall, while my character/s were standing in Ironforge.
WoW is an experience, people come and go and come back constantly. There's so much time and history invested for it to simply die
Only the lastest batch of people whom they really pissed off when they deleted the guild banks items, are not coming back. Which is why you are seeing the huge push for subs. There are still players in the game who do not read the forum and do not even know that guild bank items were deleted. So blizzard is now pushing hard for people to sub for 12 before they find out. I quit this POS. You do not get to delete my items and not give them back. If you want money for doing that you are smoking something worse than weed. I left that abusive relationship and am playing FF14 where i am treated with respect.
@@suminshizzles6951 You won't be missed!
@@MatthewTheWanderer Ask me if i give a toss about the game. Ask me if i am still playing the game after they deleted all in the guild bank.
Ask yourself if the financial data they have on you is safe and ask yourself how safe your characers are.
The only people still playing wow at this point are people who cant walk away from abusive relationships. You probably. People who are so fricken addicted they have no life and people who are so invested they simply cant walk despite being in an abusive relationship with blizzard.
Its only losers liek you who still play this game now.
@@suminshizzles6951 YOU are the loser here! STFU! NO ONE gives a fuck about anything you lost in the game! Only worthless morons think that is something worth complaining about! Only losers care about the Guild Bank AT ALL! YOU are sad and pathetic and everyone is laughing at you and your "misfortune"!
Also, even though I don't need to defend myself from an idiot like you, I am not addicted to this game at all and barely even play it.
@@suminshizzles6951 actuyu dont have a life I bearly have time to log on wow who the hell has time to start a whole new MMO especially a cat simulator lol wow has always been good just because u lost some items on the guild bank doesn't make it bad guy cry some more and enjoy ur dead game ff14 .everyone quit that game lol ur obviously a FF 14 player no true wow player crys and then mentions ff14 gtfo
Great video! Thanks for creating it!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you liked it
Great video.
I started playing in ‘04 but left after Wrath; just started playing again about 3 weeks ago. Feel a bit more up to speed after your round-up. Definitely agree with you, friendship and memories is what makes WoW stand the test of time.
Great video man! Appreciate the great and well written content!
That was the best explanation of the significance of Arthas to the WoW storyline and why the game simply couldn’t be the same after his defeat. Brilliant
@@NateBrotzman agree, explains a lot why wotlk and it's classic varian is one of the most played version of the game
it's just too bad the game mechanics and systems sucked in the early days. classes with 3 button rotations in clasic/bc etc
great video!
I have been playing WoW for 20 years now. It's had it's highs and lows and you captured that. Mists of Pandaria was my favorite expansion. Loved the video and man did the nostalgia kick in.
MOP was the last expansion i truly enjoyed. quit during legion and have spent the last few years on p-servers chasing that first high.
been playing since I was 11, I'm turning 30 in a month. Ive taken breaks, didnt like some patches and loved others. People seem to get mad when they arent having fun the entire time. It's a 20 year old game guys it's gonna have ups and downs
The intro made me chuckle but after sitting through the whole video, that ending made me teared up a bit, the contrast with the intro is just beautiful. 20 years and i always come back to this game, Wow is home.
eng wow nge i khel
As a LONGTIME wow player, this was an amazing video and perfect encapsulates my time and experience on this game. It's a love hate relationship sometimes but in the end it has been probably one of the most amazing experiences I could call mine in this crazy world we live in
Indeed. Everyone needs their own time and world. For me it's the Azeroth. It's a cheap way to escape the real world for a while.
this is hands down one of my favorite videos on WOW. thank you
Been accused of "it's dying" since Cataclysm. Yet here we are - and War Within is tonnes of fun, and the EU Servers look plenty busy to me.
Well, we if talk about WoW which was its own kingdom in the digital world. Then yes, it's already died. The number of people playing it back then, the culture it produced, it's just not even close man.
@@iz5808 I think that massive popularity was kind of a once in a generation thing. It wasn’t just the game, it was the right thing at the right place at the right time.
@@iz5808 classic and it's 3 expansions where absolutely incredible. But it's also one of the few games out there. So yeah ofc it will have great numbers. If classic came out today and no one heard of it before it wouldn't do as good becouse the amount of games out now is like 100x higher.
Yep, my server is mad busy too. This is the most active I’ve seen it since Legion. It’ll be interesting to see how this 3-xpac story plays out.
@@tronam heres how it plays out: less and less people are gonna play
WoW already had time travel pretty much from the beginning since the Caverns of Time existed, and you could travel back to Old Hillsbrad and the Black Morass in TBC as well, so it wasn't really a new thing with WoD.
20 years down, and here's to another 20. If you're ready for the 20th anniversary Blackrock Depths Raid give me a hell yea!
I'm so actually super excited for brd raid lol.. Probably unreasonably so

Gotcha!

Such a great video. The ending brought me to tears.
playing since 2008. not playing as much and competetiv as in the first years but still love it.
when i have nothing to play i start WoW and have a good time.
2:30 Ahhh… that nostalgia, even I started game in 2016 in Legion in the age of 16 I can still feel the soul of game. Game helped me to recover from bullyshipment, it forged me with Saurfang, Grommash and Tryanda
Bobby always gives me the creeps.
3:50 I was an EverQuest player, and to this end someone at Blizzard had the genius insight to hire on a swathe of top EQ Raiders as game designers for WOW. The unendiable Jeff Kaplan was amongst that group (he was a top-tier Magician in EQ).
And the celebrity thing makes perfect sense. These instantly recognizable people could run around in Azeroth and remain totally anonymous.
I started playing on the 10th anniversary, I was 9 years old and my brothers just introduced me to the game, I just finished making my fifth female Blood Elf Hunter because I liked to make pretty characters, I had the Molten Corgi summoned 24/7, life was good.
Rest in Peace Mats "Ibelin" Steen.
I loved the videos man, congrats on the production and content
I've been playing for about 18 years so it is indeed a part of my life.. even if I get too busy for it one day. I'll always love it.
Great video, but you should've mentioned why Blizzard reconsidered Classic at all - which is them copyright striking the private servers, getting utterly destroyed online for it and then consulting with the owner of those servers to make vanilla themselves.
The Cinematic Trailers are probably the best thing that Blizzard has going for it.
Nice vid brother. Well done narrated and put together. Enjoyed watching it
RuneScape did old school / classic first
In a world where i can barly pay attention to anything for more than 5 minutes, it's insane how your videos keep me engaged for their whole duration, and i want more!
I love your videos. Can't wait for the next.
Thank you so much! Should be much faster now (i think) 😅
I laugh every single time you toss in Mr. Krabs and "MONEY!" into your videos. Keep that up, its truly Goosetastic.
It sucked me in when I was 12. Got me through my parents divorce. And it was just the ultimate comfort food for so long. No matter how shitty my life was I could hop on wow and have a great time with my friends. Wotlk-cataclysm were the most fun imo. Dungeon finder just brought random people together like never before. And players like me who played solo more often got the chance to run dungeons without sitting around capital cities wasting time. If another game like wow ever comes out with modern tech, graphics, and gameplay I don't think I'll ever log off 😂
No other game will hit the same as wow because of the nostalgia... Overwatch 1 was pretty damn good too though.
Auto dungeon finder and teleport ruined the game in my opinion. It’s nice to have a LFG tab to find and que with people. But it’s a lot more special when you and your group have to make the journey to the dungeon.
@@808Joshh You know whats good mate. Cheers
Never played it, but as usual, the ending of your content is highly moving, and speaks to the very best of our collective pass time. I'll say it again, this's the finest content of its kind on RUclips. Thank you mate.
My two absolute favorite games in the whole world are: World of Warcraft and The sims, so when you listed both of those games, I personally felt that
child services took a couple of my sims children away from me after they got stuck on the sidewalk. Buns of steal also got me killed after I realized I forgot to add pool stairs. this was funny because my ashes had no problem finding their way out of the pool.
Diablo2 was pretty cool too. diablo3 was awful. specially the secret cow level. looked like my little pony
I currently play Cata Classic with my older daughter and Sims4 with my younger one. Family game nights are way cooler now than when I was a kid. :)
@@Taerynthea I play wow with my husband, and I'm generally the driver. I'm also the one who thinks the fastest way to get anywhere is always a straight line instead of following the road. this means many deaths due to falling, followed by hubby doing all ooh ah death noises and me laughing my butt off
Amazing video. I have no words to praise you enough thank you for all the effort.
Here’s the Goose! 😎 Happy Halloween 🦇🎃
Awesome video, maybe make one on Age of Empires next?
Truth is, neither blizzard nor the players know exactly what they want.
Players were right that they wanted Vanilla Classic, but then they asked for TBC Classic, which turned out they didn't really wanna play at all. Very few did.
WoW has had some rough expansions lately - but people are also just tired of WoW. Many people have played this game for 20 years and wish they could feel the way they did when playing the game when it was something new, but it just isn't anymore. And for that reason, WoW ALSO gets a lot of shit unjustified
I too, wish I could feel the way about WoW today, as I did in 2005. But then I go back and play Classic and realize that it's just not the same in 2024.
players know what they want. but each and every one of them wants something different.
@@ImAnOcean No they don't. People were hyping up TBC, then Wrath, talking about how amazing it's gonna be to play these amazing expansions again, just for the same people to stop playing these expansions 2 months in after rushing all the content like it was a chore. Cause playing old versions of the game just ain't the same in 2024 as it was back in the day, but people don't get that..

first ban of the day
I started playing in 2005, I was 25 years old. During my late 20's I hit a rough spot in life, and WoW literally got me through it. I knew even if my day was bad, I could log in and just tool around on my rogue for hours. I spent at least one New Years Eve in Orgimmar, many sad nights but mostly had wonderful moments ingame. I met friends who I am still in touch with, and bonded with others I didn't know played. I may not raid anymore, but I still hop in and roll around, doing my best to keep up with current content. WoW will always have a special place in my heart, even if I haven't always agreed with their direction.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I LOVED MoP. I especially love it now knowing the expansions that came next. It was the last time for me that my progress through the game made sense, actual combat play for my class worked and was fun, the world was open and beautiful and not a nightmare to navigate, the auction house was still viable, professions were straightforward, and people still talked to each other in guild chat. It was also drop dead gorgeous with a great story. My order: Wrath, MoP, BC, Legion, DF, Bfa, WoD, SL. I rate WoD above SL because it at least engaged me enough to play it through. I played Shadowlands for about two weeks and then didn't touch WoW again until Dragonflight. A lot of words for all this, but I WoW is something I love, has been a part of my life in ways that could make this post 5 times the length. I care about that virtual world.
MoP was great for two reasons: Pandas + Monk. I was really missing a martial arts class in WoW.
my favorite xpac really. I love pet battles and 1st version of brawlers guild is still my favorite thing ever. I spent hours watching people die to hexos :)
Nothing wrong with that expansion, except for all the bugged questlines, that is. So many daily quests that were still broken even years after that expansion was new.
Same for me, loved the game back then. Throne of Thunder is still hailed as one of the best raids ever made in WoW.
I personally like SL more than WoD, BFA and Dragonflight. For me Dragonflight is worst of them, i play it for 1 month maybe and got so bored with all that dragon's bs (i came back in season 2 for 2 weeks just for the mythic+ mount, cause he is very cool). I like SL because, i love games that are more into dark stuff, occultism and death in general. And i am one of the few people who actually enjoy Torghast runs.

"WoW is dead"
I don't think they know what it means
My mom used to play with my cousin back when she was pregnant with me in 2008. Nowadays i dont want to look into other expansions again and ive stuck to wrath for 6 years now(my mom taught me how to play when i was 10). This game is everything to me and i find comfort and home most between the snowy mountains of storm peaks. Wotlk had been very important for my whole family and i know i will carry on the legacy and one day show my children, nephews and grandkids a world they are bound to love
TLDW: It survived as long as it did because it was a masterpiece at launch and got millions of people extremely enfranchised.
So even if it sucks NOW, it doesn‘t matter, because their customers literaply grew up on this universe and will never abandon it, no matter how bad it gets.
I've recently started playing again since there are no good new games. It,s a WOTLK private server, but the memories it bringa me back are the best. Also, imagine in 2024 deciding to go back and play a game from 2010 because the gamint companies aren't capable of making a game worth playing more than a week.
that 5k total of game time paid for.. is like as much as i paid for my PC. That aint shit when you look at how much hours of gameplay and enjoyment the game has given me.. id pay double that. no questions asked.
People crazy lol.
Less than a dollar per hour for sure
My wife and I played this game for 10+ years like it was a 2nd job.
And today we will always be chasing the high that this game brought but no other game can replicate.
Movies like these is the best alternative. Allows us a glimpse down memory lane when games were fun.
Thank you for the time to make this video.
You think you do, but you don't.
Sometimes it is true though. :)
I started playing a few months before the dark portal. What a journey it has been. Never played any other game for 20 years. Wow just has something other games don't.
I quit WOW just before Cataclysm. I am, to this day, still searching for a game that gives the same incredible experiences as WOTLK did. I think I'll never find it.
@driifuz you and me both.
Some of the best times of my life playing wow. The sense of adventure, fantasy, music and what not was just magic.
😢 I'm trying to buy a PC again and go play hardcore. I started playing in Burning Crusade and played until MoP came out. I'm excited to play again.
cata slaps pretty hard. can play cata classic now with a wow sub for no additional cost
In 2007 I used so many sick days to play WoW (and watch price is right and Bob Ross reruns) that my high school sent a letter home saying I couldn’t be sick anymore without a doctors note 🤣😂🫠. My dad was PISSED. If you weren’t there in the 2000s you’ll never understand how revolutionary this game was.
It was THE game. Up until like 2012 it was a separate culture, people lived it. And then the poor corporate management killed it and made lame.
Bro that’s me still but with work!, still pretty good tbh some things ain’t the same and some things are better !! 😂
I remember a snowstorm hit on a patch Tuesday in like early 2006 and school cancelled. My brother and I were so fricken mad it didn't hit on any other weekday. Not only were the servers down all day long, It took hours and hours to download the dang patch.
@@iz5808exactly. Corporate people run everything into the ground. Wow as a culture isn’t dead though and people still play. Just log into TurtleWow and see Stormwind so crowded you can’t even make out who’s who, it’s just a MASSIVE blob of characters all moving around on top of each other.
First time watching you, what a fantastic and well made video, must have taken alot of time and effort. Captured the spirit of the WoW fanbase, I hope it survives for another 20 years!
Hey, the pet battle is my favorite part of the game. Activision managed to make a Pokemon MMO before Pokemon.
Yeah, I love pet battling and collecting those little bastards.
Day one player... still playing (not up to newest expansion just yet) - but made lots of friends and it helped me stay in contact with those that moved away .
40 mf make wow back then... and now we have just shitty or mid games maked by 1000 mf
That infromation is not accurate. The og team started working in WoW with 40 ppl but the team quickly went to 100 for its releaze in 2004.
That said, 100 people to get the game out in 2004 with all the content it had and polish, is still way too impressive.
@@josejuanandrade4439 it was not polished at all though.

And they say money can’t buy happiness. Sometimes it is not that expensive :)
I think I spend around $500 for the last 15 years. 13 years ago my account got hacked and the hacker transferred all the top items to my account and use on AH.

This was an amazing video! I liked your humor I lost it over the spacegoat thing . Everything seemed on point I'm glad you played as well you really honed in on some really great points that felt truthful. This coming from a guy who's played since tBC and has a horde symbol tattooed on his back, it's part of a bigger nerd tattoo with Chrono trigger and FF7 themes too but solid video referencing WoW from a players view. Subbing just for this😅
Thanks so much for the amazing comment, I'm really glad you liked it! I tried hard to try to capture how WoW players felt so I'm happy it resonated
This game will always have special place in my heart 💓
Most enjoyable and satisfying game man ever played. Great moments and great gameplay ❤
Top content as always
35:12 you know you're right when your viewer asks the same question out loud, before it's said in the video.
I played a lot and then quit in Wrath, coming back as an adult it feels so so good. It's weird that no other games capture the way your character feels like wow. It just feels so much better to attack and be hit and run and move than anything. One of my best friends to this day was because I really needed a healer in bgs....
great video

I started playing in 2005 towards the end of vanilla with my cousin. Got to experience the midnight launches of BC and WOTLK played all the way up to WOD and started falling of after that. I’m now almost 40 and I would love to see a proper wow revival. All these years later my cousin and I still talk about our wow days and how we’d come back in a heart beat.
Very entertaining video. Thank you
Thanks for make the shout out for the real classic EverQuest ❤❤❤
