hi guys, i had to trim a 13 second bit out of this video around 28:00 as, despite being a royalty free song, someone was trying to claim ALL of this video's ad revenue citing that song as something they owned. i'd rather just trim it out and have that be that than deal with the broken youtube copyright system which places all the risk on me should i try to defend myself.
My favorite thing about this whole saga is that someone like Eddie exists, living in Stormwind with diplomatic immunity. A real sense of community is something that has been missing in WoW for over a decade.
Its honestly why, memes aside, some roleplay servers are better than normal ones. Stuff like eddie, taking people prisoner, honored duels, etc would not be possible on other servers.
@@romptown This all takes place on a PVP server, which means that everyone is fair game at all times, regardless of where they are or what level they are. Anything goes, no one is safe. Most players of the opposing faction are kill-on-sight. Eddie is a guy who has created an RP concept so charming that Alliance players have willingly agreed not to kill him, in Stormwind, their most populated capitol city. Grobbulus is a *roleplaying* PVP server, which doesn't actually technically mean anything gameplay-wise, but it attracts a certain kind of player. Players like Eddie. And the kind of people who would leave him unmolested and free, in a game characterized for many years now by extremely toxic behavior towards people of the opposing faction. Eddie is a treasure and Grobbulus is a treasure of a community for treasuring him.
Dalaena here, literally dead in the water @ 54:52. Just to share my corner of this miserable experience, our guild Ashes of the Phoenix had spent endless hours farming for a single scarab lord, and were griefed the night before trying to farm for the Ashenvale dragon drop. Our scarab lord, Achelos, managed to get caught up to the arcanite buoy at the exact moment you did, and we found ourselves out in Azshara with half the raid staring down the Horde. Not ideal, heh. We thought YOU GUYS were another griefing raid there to stonewall us from finishing the last part of the chain. I was almost certain it wasn't going to get done after all that work. We were partnered with another small guild, NaCl, and their scarab lord Syr who showed up moments after your kill to help us finish up our own fishing expedition. Very glad you all were just there to do the content and didn't stick around. I'm also amused I managed to make the cut for this epic tale... just for getting cut by Barnybee.
Be happy they Barny didn't know that if he did you would have been griefed and and made in the video 100% for a different reason if you catch my drift ......
I love the raid leaders of The Winter Court. They legitimately add so much levity to the video. It also makes a retail raider like me miss the Classic and BC days, because raids could be casual adjacent and you didn’t need militant order at all times.
I love how you fivehead got around everyone trying to bamboozle you out of your scarab mount. The hurdles you navigated simply to to get from point A to B either makes you a genius or a sociopath. Probably both. But I love it.
If you're in the US a lot of players are playing on Whitemane (both horde and alliance) the community coordinates Battleground Nights every Friday and Saturday - play from 4 pm est til about 4 am est

Holy shit Barney this was worth the fucking wait, I’ve never had a RUclips video series (let alone one about a game I don’t play) make me feel this way my guy, thanks for all the laughs, the tears, and the headaches, here’s to MORE BARNY CONTENT WOOOO
Man, its a long and weird one, but you should check out swampletics from settled, its a runescape series thats really fucking awesome, but there are like 30 episodes tho (but all of them are well edited and cuted for the viewer experience, and the few last episodes are bangers)
You know whats even worse? Abandoning the original 2005 version of these quest (although lets be real, I never would have come close), then being excited to have ANOTHER chance at it with Classic, then giving up AGAIN, only to see this legend of a human being stick around to see it through. Clearly I'm just not worthy unlike Barny the epic god.
It is insane to think that all this time you've kept that mount a secret, deleting it and recovering it constantly. Damn. Best wishes to Barny, what an absolute legend.
Blizzard needs to hire Barny as their writer or some shit. The Beekeeper has told a better, more engaging and enthralling story than any of the dog shit that has come out since well before bfa
This comment will most likely never be read, but, absolutely LOVE Hearthstone referencing Barney with the Scarab Lord card being a Undead Rougue wearing red with daggers who says "I am not just a Scarab Lord. I am THE Scarab Lord" with this 100% being a reference to this. Just makes me happy seeing some part of Blizzard directly acknowledged such a good RUclips series.

I love how Barney never passes up an opportunity to use Chekov's gun. Everything is critical, even if it only becomes so many videos later, there are no arbitrary details.
I rewatched his very first Classic WoW video from 2019 with my friend today and realized this was all foreshadowed from the very beginning when he ended the video with him falling through the map and getting stuck in Caverns of Time
The Rpers are probably one of the most hardcore communities you can find out there. While alot are very casual there are servers like these, and ontopp of that, its classic and they are still playing after BWL release which means they are the most degenerate RPers there are out there. I'd def recommend giving RP servers a try if you never have, specially those who deep dive into the lore which makes the game much more fun and better
I think this is the first ever youtube series that made me feel that extremely painful emptiness inside of me after watching the last episode. Truly magnificent
I'm not going to lie, that bamboozle at the end got me so hard. So much so I feel obligated to buy the plushie just because it was so well done. The videos you put out are amazing, you're definitely one of the best!
What an incredible series. Definitely in a league of its own. This has got me so invested - i have at least watched all the episodes a couple of times by now But seriously... MORE BUGS??
What if I told you that his sound editing is the best thing about the vids? Everything else is fantastic as well but the sound editing is out of this world
This has been an absolutely fantastic journey, and I'm so glad you decided to take us with you on it. You're 100% correct saying this is the best WoW content on the platform. Seeing the editing streams was also such a joy, knowing how some shots were taken makes it feel that much more special. And the fact that the final quest gives a dagger upgrade is a certified W after that BoE got ninja'd as well.
The rewatchability of this series is amazing, i've watched this series about 20 times in the last year. The planning and dedication on this is some action movie hero type shit. On a Completely different level to anything i've ever seen. Holy fucking shit, you're a legend!
You’ve done an amazing job with this series. You got a compelling narrative going and have kept everyone invested in a story going on two years now. Well done Maddie!
This is a great hommage to this quest which most of players will never have seen or even attempted. Thanks for sharing it in this amazing format of series for everyone to enjoy. Mad respect for all the editing work
Barney, how DARE you make content this good?! You had me, you had me all along. How could you possibly make it in that short time, being upfront about the sad ending in sight and everything? Such vain hope, but there it was: maybe there will be a mount reveal at the end after all? No, that's crazy... But what if? It would be a feat to outshine any other "gaming vlog" series on the freaking platform, and the pure bliss of it may overwhelm me and make me upgrade to feet pic tier on Patreon in sheer ecstasy, before post-view clarity settles in and the melancholy of a series finished moves me to tears of several emotions combined. Such vain hope something like that could ever happen... And yet you did it, Barney. You made something radical happen.
This whole series was amazing. The story, the music, the editing, well done. I'm glad we got to see it to the end and hopefully there'll be more youtube content this year?
Am I crazy, or is this one of the best gaming content series every created on the platform? Like forget best WoW series, best gaming series IMHO. Awesome music, great editing, hilarious and interesting story with twists and turns and a fantastic ending that Barny absolutely sticks. Hats off to you, Barny. That was a fucking masterpiece.
This series is so good, and I have been waiting so long to see it finish, that when I finished the last video i audibly yelled “you can’t do that!” and scared the life out of my friend in the next room. I am unreasonably addicted to this series and I’m so happy to see it coming to the epic conclusion! Thank you so much for all the work you’ve done, and for entertaining your audience for years on end!
Weve gone into true machinina territory. I love how this goes from 4th wall to actual narrative in and out. Excited to see a blades of azzinoth storyline after scarab lord
I was sitting around, peeved that there hadn’t been a follow up for this series in 9 months… but oh my god was that worth the wait. This is probably the best thing I’ve watched all year (not just WoW content; television, movie, you name it). That was an absolute masterpiece. You are an absolute wonder, Barny
56:11 Your laughter here genuinely conveys so many emotions at once. The fact that you went above and beyond the call of duty to not only get that Scepter in your bag, but in the bags of 10 other people before you, truly does make you the Lord of Scarab Lords.
This series literally had me in tears. There legitimately hasn’t been another story in recent times that I’ve been more on the edge of my seat for than this. And I mean that. You are an entertainment god, Barny.
It always makes my eyes water listening to the sheer amount of relief and happiness at 56:12. I can't even begin to imagine what it must have felt like. To FINALLY have the scepter after all that planning, stress, work and effort. The briefest respite before continuing. Love your content Barny, and I'm so happy for you. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
This is legitimately one of the best video series that I have ever seen on the internet. You went above and fucking beyond with this, and ngl I almost cried at the ending.
This video is the ending we have been waiting for. I’ve been watching throughout the day at work and I’m gonna watch the whole thing once I get home at once. EP 3 was great, I loved the Caverns of Time focus on there. 1 and 2 were epic, but this…..this video was indescribable. I loved the narration and the lore. When that music kicked in at 32:30 I got chills. This video (41 minutes in as I write this) is an absolute masterpiece. Spoilers because I finally finished it and need to scream….. - - - - - - - - I JUST GOT TO THE END!!!!!! I screamed when I saw that you got it! I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!
The song from that timestamp really is good. It seems to be a mashup or remix of Ridge Racers - Disco Ball and Bad Apple!! Couldn't find it however on the list, nor had any luck finding it on my own. Anyone got any clues? Would love to know where that piece comes from!
"There is no joy to be had from mastering world of warcraft, there is only pain" truer words have never been spoken on this planet, as someone who raided for many years
Literally I’m so happy I didn’t know of this series until now. For all you OG Barney peoples out there , I have nothing but respect for waiting for this beautiful series 😂
When I say I was biting my nails at this, I am not kidding. I re-watched the entire journey before watching this video, and man what a journey this was.
This is a masterpiece, it's like finishing the Harry potter films. I'm left with an abject sense of loss, as I can never experience this for the first time again.
This has been one of the greatest youtube series hands down. I was dreading watching both parts of episode 3 for a while cause I was scared of being disappointed, but now I know when it come to the beekeeper, I will never be let down. Godspeed you magnificent scarab lord
Slickest cold ending into a To Be Continued I've ever seen and it coming out so quickly is incredible You beeboozled us You tricked us again, so as chat agreed I will either buy a plushie or tattoo a bee on my tit. Going for that Plushie first. You win this time, Beekeeper.
Im actually glad I just found out this story exists, so I could watch it in its entirity back to back. Haven’t been this hooked to a story for a long time. The writing, the editing, the suspense is on a whole other level. Congratulations and thanks for making this.
i found this video series a week or two ago and i can’t stop watching it. it’s very good content, exceptional editing, entertaining storytelling, delightful music choices- i keep bopping during the run through STV to duskwood- but more than anything it reminds me a lot of the good ol’ days. i picked up wow… probably halfway through wod, i think? i’d been watching my dad play for as long as i can remember, but i was at his place one time and asking him a few too many questions and he asked me if i wanted to try flying around a bit while he worked on supper in the other room. and then he had me doing his mythril mining loops in the badlands when he had to do other stuff. when i made my first character he taught me a few basic rotations for his main class (hunter; he couldn’t stand cast timers and he hated mucking around in melee range), and then taught me basic group courtesy when i started trying lfg dungeon levelling. stuff like when to dismiss pets and how to disable pet taunt auto-casting. he also taught me about feeding your hunter pets because he somehow missed when pet loyalty was removed. he was the one who made fun of me for trying to learn how to heal dungeons. he used to talk a lot about the good ol’ days of raiding, of doing icc with my uncle tom’s guild and astonishing people with some wasp pet ability that he pulled out on marrowgar. how he got into wow in the first place because my uncle tom, who he played a lot of diablo with, said “hey dan, you like playing barb a lot. how would you feel about playing something like that in this new blizzard game?” my dad ended up despising warrior, and that was that. i ended up getting my own account around legion’s launch, because i wanted to be able to play with my dad properly, but he was getting so sick he couldn’t work anymore and so we both ended up playing on my account. i remember when i took up tailoring to make bags for both of us (and to ah) he would do naxx runs while i was in school to farm greens so i could make frostweave bags with the DE mats. he texted me once in the middle of class to brag how he’d finally gotten the second binding from MC so he could make thunderfury for tmog- before he realized he didn’t have any characters that could use it. he was so excited when classic was announced. i had paid for a six-month subscription so that we could both play without worrying too much about getting more game time. i got distracted right after school started with academic stuff, but he kept on trucking. he was telling me all these stories about when he played vanilla. he wanted to go raiding again. he was thinking about getting a proper gaming headset again, about downloading discord for when he settled in with a raiding guild. he passed early in the morning, new years day, 2020. a massive heart attack maybe an hour or two after midnight. after my family had made arrangements for the service and i’d headed back to school for the first week of term, i realized that his guildies were probably wondering where the hell he was. he was the type who played every day, if just to check his mail. i was the one who told them he was gone. he was so excited for AQ to come out, to see something of how insane it all was. he was looking forward to showing it to me. i ended up dropping wow for the most part. it was still fun, of course, but it made me too sad. it hurt too much. i never really saw… any of it, at least not firsthand. i didn’t really want to, without him. so thank you for showing us, for making it fun, even though it took so long and so much effort, even if now it’s years after the fact. it’s been a wonderful adventure.
This has to be one of the best wow series ever made and it's going down in history, truly a masterpiece! As a fellow scarab lord I bow to you sir, good fucking job!
How is this bringing people together, the players would play together anyway, the alliance vs horde bend that wow and barny have are just divisive making the experience less fun for everyone. These communities are extremely toxic and barnys videos are just showing the well cut best parts of them.
@@Yagizino Nah, stuff like this is what creates memories for people. If they don't like it well what are they doing on a PvP server? Literally everyone banding together, messaging about his location and heading there to take him out, it's insane how many turned up!
I don’t think I can possibly stress enough how much not only this video is amazing but this whole series. It was captivating from beginning to end. One area I don’t think you get enough credit for is your music placemat. Especially that piano at the end when you got your dagger, then that cliffhanger that you need to go kill more bugs. I just adore your videos. I know how much you put into making them. I can’t wait to see more!
23:55 From that moment I knew, I KNEW, Barny had gotten Scarablord. Anyway, this video series is probably the best thing on RUclips ever, and I don't even play WoW. Well worth the wait. Now I just wish I had more people to share this with who are willing to sit through 3 hours of WoW content.
Legitimately had my heartrate increase beating when at the gong. ONLY youtube video to get that physical reaction out of me other than like a cheap jump scare video. This series is an odyssey!
I've loved all of this. Having played thousands of hours of original WoW as an undead rogue on a PvP server, going through raids, interacting with other players- it was so formative and memorable. I even made a few videos, that are sadly lost to time. When I watch speedrunners of various games today, I see the same intensity and exhilaration that I had completing guild or server-fists. Thanks for all the nostalgia Barny!

The Rpers are probably one of the most hardcore communities you can find out there. While alot are very casual there are servers like these, and ontopp of that, its classic and they are still playing after BWL release which means they are the most degenerate RPers there are out there.
I'd def recommend giving RP servers a try if you never have, specially those who deep dive into the lore which makes the game much more fun and better
Now that the countdowns for these videos have ended I can finally relax and return to asking when Barny's next video is coming.
I think this is the first ever youtube series that made me feel that extremely painful emptiness inside of me after watching the last episode. Truly magnificent
Barny's Scarab Lord Adventures is the single best work of art I have ever seen.
Pints video's are damn good also 😁👍🏻
its okayish i guess
I'm not going to lie, that bamboozle at the end got me so hard. So much so I feel obligated to buy the plushie just because it was so well done. The videos you put out are amazing, you're definitely one of the best!
I can literally die happy right now. this was a rollercoaster, masterpiece, absolute perfection of a series... love you Barny
barney: *ignores*
I can't believe this is one of the best cinematic experiences i've had in my life, you are fucking insane Maddie.
The scheming, the strategy, the drama, the action, the bloodshed.
This series has been a truly beautiful experience.
It was like at least 50% made up/ altered to fit a story better tho 😂
What an incredible series. Definitely in a league of its own. This has got me so invested - i have at least watched all the episodes a couple of times by now
But seriously... MORE BUGS??
Barney's sound direction absolutely blows my mind, I'm totally immersed in every video. And I love the diddy kong racing tracks!
Right?! Not enough credit goes towards the vocal edits and music!
@@bcdey84 qqQQuueEessTTtt ccCcooOmmpplleeEEEtteE!
What if I told you that his sound editing is the best thing about the vids? Everything else is fantastic as well but the sound editing is out of this world
@@videos8159 i would AGREE 100%
This has been an absolutely fantastic journey, and I'm so glad you decided to take us with you on it. You're 100% correct saying this is the best WoW content on the platform. Seeing the editing streams was also such a joy, knowing how some shots were taken makes it feel that much more special.
And the fact that the final quest gives a dagger upgrade is a certified W after that BoE got ninja'd as well.
The rewatchability of this series is amazing, i've watched this series about 20 times in the last year. The planning and dedication on this is some action movie hero type shit.
On a Completely different level to anything i've ever seen. Holy fucking shit, you're a legend!
You’ve done an amazing job with this series. You got a compelling narrative going and have kept everyone invested in a story going on two years now. Well done Maddie!
This is a great hommage to this quest which most of players will never have seen or even attempted. Thanks for sharing it in this amazing format of series for everyone to enjoy.
Mad respect for all the editing work
Facts!
Barney, how DARE you make content this good?! You had me, you had me all along. How could you possibly make it in that short time, being upfront about the sad ending in sight and everything? Such vain hope, but there it was: maybe there will be a mount reveal at the end after all? No, that's crazy... But what if? It would be a feat to outshine any other "gaming vlog" series on the freaking platform, and the pure bliss of it may overwhelm me and make me upgrade to feet pic tier on Patreon in sheer ecstasy, before post-view clarity settles in and the melancholy of a series finished moves me to tears of several emotions combined. Such vain hope something like that could ever happen...
And yet you did it, Barney.
You made something radical happen.
I've never been so happy for someone I don't know, playing a game I don't play. Impressive story-telling!
This whole series was amazing. The story, the music, the editing, well done. I'm glad we got to see it to the end and hopefully there'll be more youtube content this year?
The Scarab Lord Arc is the best Arc in the Barny Beekeeper anime. I can't wait for more of this anime in 2 years
i stayed up til 4:30am watching these two absolute masterpieces that i’ve waited months for. Well done Barney, well done.
5:17 am, prob will go to work without sleeping today. Totes worth it though.
Am I crazy, or is this one of the best gaming content series every created on the platform? Like forget best WoW series, best gaming series IMHO. Awesome music, great editing, hilarious and interesting story with twists and turns and a fantastic ending that Barny absolutely sticks. Hats off to you, Barny. That was a fucking masterpiece.
This is quite literally, hands down, the best series I've seen in my life. Holy shit this was 100/10
This series is so good, and I have been waiting so long to see it finish, that when I finished the last video i audibly yelled “you can’t do that!” and scared the life out of my friend in the next room. I am unreasonably addicted to this series and I’m so happy to see it coming to the epic conclusion! Thank you so much for all the work you’ve done, and for entertaining your audience for years on end!
The amount of work and everyone involved is crazy. grats and gj dude! This needs to be trending. what a movie.
The entire arc of Eddie guiding you through Stormwind was amazing, god I love this game.
This was by far, the most satisfying thing to watch in my life.
Weve gone into true machinina territory. I love how this goes from 4th wall to actual narrative in and out. Excited to see a blades of azzinoth storyline after scarab lord
I was sitting around, peeved that there hadn’t been a follow up for this series in 9 months… but oh my god was that worth the wait. This is probably the best thing I’ve watched all year (not just WoW content; television, movie, you name it). That was an absolute masterpiece. You are an absolute wonder, Barny
56:11 Your laughter here genuinely conveys so many emotions at once. The fact that you went above and beyond the call of duty to not only get that Scepter in your bag, but in the bags of 10 other people before you, truly does make you the Lord of Scarab Lords.
I think Barny is trying to make this the best timeline
If this becomes an ongoing narrative and starts to bleed into actual story structure that would be incredible
She forgot to hide the mount at the beginning of a stream. Spoiler alert :)
This series literally had me in tears. There legitimately hasn’t been another story in recent times that I’ve been more on the edge of my seat for than this. And I mean that. You are an entertainment god, Barny.
Goddess*
Try Swampletics
I'm literally beaming from ear to ear. I literally jumped and cheered at the twist lmao. Thank you so much Barny. You are one amazing creator.
It always makes my eyes water listening to the sheer amount of relief and happiness at 56:12. I can't even begin to imagine what it must have felt like. To FINALLY have the scepter after all that planning, stress, work and effort. The briefest respite before continuing. Love your content Barny, and I'm so happy for you. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
This is legitimately one of the best video series that I have ever seen on the internet. You went above and fucking beyond with this, and ngl I almost cried at the ending.
This series has had me more invested in WoW than I've been in ten years. Thank you Barny, you really brought the joy in the game back for me.
the moment when a silly rogue on youtube has a better lore than WoW since 2010
Ah, the good ol' "WoW's been bad since Cataclysm." Always a "classic"
This was the best thing I have ever watched for WoW content. Fucking Bravo Barny
This is the best WoW video in history. There is actually nothing that comes close. You are and forever will be a legend Barny.
This video is the ending we have been waiting for. I’ve been watching throughout the day at work and I’m gonna watch the whole thing once I get home at once. EP 3 was great, I loved the Caverns of Time focus on there. 1 and 2 were epic, but this…..this video was indescribable. I loved the narration and the lore. When that music kicked in at 32:30 I got chills. This video (41 minutes in as I write this) is an absolute masterpiece.
Spoilers because I finally finished it and need to scream…..

I JUST GOT TO THE END!!!!!! I screamed when I saw that you got it! I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!
The song from that timestamp really is good. It seems to be a mashup or remix of Ridge Racers - Disco Ball and Bad Apple!!
Couldn't find it however on the list, nor had any luck finding it on my own.
Anyone got any clues? Would love to know where that piece comes from!
I love you barn
Thought the "tomorrow" line was a meme, go to my youtube homepage and find this... Christ almighty man, you knocked it out of the park.
"There is no joy to be had from mastering world of warcraft, there is only pain" truer words have never been spoken on this planet, as someone who raided for many years
Literally I’m so happy I didn’t know of this series until now. For all you OG Barney peoples out there , I have nothing but respect for waiting for this beautiful series 😂
Been here since keyori, I have no regrets
When I say I was biting my nails at this, I am not kidding. I re-watched the entire journey before watching this video, and man what a journey this was.
This is a masterpiece, it's like finishing the Harry potter films. I'm left with an abject sense of loss, as I can never experience this for the first time again.
That is the real tragedy here...
💯
This has been one of the greatest youtube series hands down. I was dreading watching both parts of episode 3 for a while cause I was scared of being disappointed, but now I know when it come to the beekeeper, I will never be let down.
Godspeed you magnificent scarab lord
God I don't know when was the last time i was this excited. This is our Endgame. The first peak of the Barny Cinematic Universe.
Just imagining the series was almost left without such ending is heartbreaking. Hope to see more from you next year again.
He has already made 2 videos this year. Next video will come out in 2024.
Slickest cold ending into a To Be Continued I've ever seen and it coming out so quickly is incredible
You beeboozled us
You tricked us again, so as chat agreed I will either buy a plushie or tattoo a bee on my tit.
Going for that Plushie first. You win this time, Beekeeper.
The greatest bamboozle is no one expected bamboozle cause what are the chances he releases 2 videos in 2 days after 2 in 2 years
Me sobbing every time this video comes to an end.
You truly know your storytelling, thank you so much
I had more of an emotional journey with this undead rogue anime than I have in years of retail WoW story. Beautiful work Mr. Bee.
I felt genuine emotions from this series. I didn't know RUclips could do that.
Honestly barneys videos are just so good
Im actually glad I just found out this story exists, so I could watch it in its entirity back to back. Haven’t been this hooked to a story for a long time. The writing, the editing, the suspense is on a whole other level. Congratulations and thanks for making this.
i found this video series a week or two ago and i can’t stop watching it. it’s very good content, exceptional editing, entertaining storytelling, delightful music choices- i keep bopping during the run through STV to duskwood- but more than anything it reminds me a lot of the good ol’ days.
i picked up wow… probably halfway through wod, i think? i’d been watching my dad play for as long as i can remember, but i was at his place one time and asking him a few too many questions and he asked me if i wanted to try flying around a bit while he worked on supper in the other room. and then he had me doing his mythril mining loops in the badlands when he had to do other stuff.
when i made my first character he taught me a few basic rotations for his main class (hunter; he couldn’t stand cast timers and he hated mucking around in melee range), and then taught me basic group courtesy when i started trying lfg dungeon levelling. stuff like when to dismiss pets and how to disable pet taunt auto-casting. he also taught me about feeding your hunter pets because he somehow missed when pet loyalty was removed. he was the one who made fun of me for trying to learn how to heal dungeons.
he used to talk a lot about the good ol’ days of raiding, of doing icc with my uncle tom’s guild and astonishing people with some wasp pet ability that he pulled out on marrowgar. how he got into wow in the first place because my uncle tom, who he played a lot of diablo with, said “hey dan, you like playing barb a lot. how would you feel about playing something like that in this new blizzard game?” my dad ended up despising warrior, and that was that.
i ended up getting my own account around legion’s launch, because i wanted to be able to play with my dad properly, but he was getting so sick he couldn’t work anymore and so we both ended up playing on my account. i remember when i took up tailoring to make bags for both of us (and to ah) he would do naxx runs while i was in school to farm greens so i could make frostweave bags with the DE mats. he texted me once in the middle of class to brag how he’d finally gotten the second binding from MC so he could make thunderfury for tmog- before he realized he didn’t have any characters that could use it.
he was so excited when classic was announced. i had paid for a six-month subscription so that we could both play without worrying too much about getting more game time. i got distracted right after school started with academic stuff, but he kept on trucking. he was telling me all these stories about when he played vanilla. he wanted to go raiding again. he was thinking about getting a proper gaming headset again, about downloading discord for when he settled in with a raiding guild.
he passed early in the morning, new years day, 2020. a massive heart attack maybe an hour or two after midnight. after my family had made arrangements for the service and i’d headed back to school for the first week of term, i realized that his guildies were probably wondering where the hell he was. he was the type who played every day, if just to check his mail.
i was the one who told them he was gone.
he was so excited for AQ to come out, to see something of how insane it all was. he was looking forward to showing it to me. i ended up dropping wow for the most part. it was still fun, of course, but it made me too sad. it hurt too much. i never really saw… any of it, at least not firsthand. i didn’t really want to, without him.
so thank you for showing us, for making it fun, even though it took so long and so much effort, even if now it’s years after the fact. it’s been a wonderful adventure.
At long last, the best World of Warcraft video series ever created has come to an end. Thank you Barny.
I've consumed a fair share of wow content through the years, but nothing comes close to this. The dedication, quality and humor in this is 10/10.
This has to be one of the best wow series ever made and it's going down in history, truly a masterpiece! As a fellow scarab lord I bow to you sir, good fucking job!
I live alone and remote as hell, so this Christmas I'm doing the same thing I did last one; eating soup and watching this series.
❤
It’s quite beautiful how you bring people together like this. Perfectly edited. Subscribed :)
How is this bringing people together, the players would play together anyway, the alliance vs horde bend that wow and barny have are just divisive making the experience less fun for everyone. These communities are extremely toxic and barnys videos are just showing the well cut best parts of them.
@@Yagizino Nah, stuff like this is what creates memories for people. If they don't like it well what are they doing on a PvP server? Literally everyone banding together, messaging about his location and heading there to take him out, it's insane how many turned up!
This was one of the best story endings I've seen in years.
OMG, he really got us! Hiding the fact he's scarab lord for over a year! Barney I am buying your plushie just for that!
She*
@Andrei Georgescu definitely not if you check her social medias
@@docwarlock6398 ... she, or "she" though? pretttyyy sure thats a dudes voice and laugh 110%
@@Taakuyaa check her socials, and the video even includes her name at one point
ya sure that a girl voice
I don’t think I can possibly stress enough how much not only this video is amazing but this whole series. It was captivating from beginning to end. One area I don’t think you get enough credit for is your music placemat. Especially that piano at the end when you got your dagger, then that cliffhanger that you need to go kill more bugs. I just adore your videos. I know how much you put into making them. I can’t wait to see more!
The level of effort is ... something I can't even imagine! What a perfect ending to a perfect series. Loved it :)
23:55 From that moment I knew, I KNEW, Barny had gotten Scarablord.
Anyway, this video series is probably the best thing on RUclips ever, and I don't even play WoW.
Well worth the wait. Now I just wish I had more people to share this with who are willing to sit through 3 hours of WoW content.
This was worth every second of waiting. I am crying happy tears for you. Thank you for all your hard work!
Hats off to this series.... just gawd damn, what a masterpiece.
Legitimately had my heartrate increase beating when at the gong. ONLY youtube video to get that physical reaction out of me other than like a cheap jump scare video.
This series is an odyssey!
I've loved all of this. Having played thousands of hours of original WoW as an undead rogue on a PvP server, going through raids, interacting with other players- it was so formative and memorable. I even made a few videos, that are sadly lost to time. When I watch speedrunners of various games today, I see the same intensity and exhilaration that I had completing guild or server-fists. Thanks for all the nostalgia Barny!
This is legitimately a masterpiece. the BEST content being released on RUclips period.
This whole series ending like this.... Ingenious! Like with the collusion, the dedication, the editing. WoW. Just WoW.
