back in cata i was newish and made a Blood elf with my friend. we were doing that one quest where you had to kill the undead mobs in the black scar area just outside of Silvermoon (dont remember what its called). the enemies werent respawning fast enough for the 2 of us so i complained to him in party chat how i wish the spawn rate was higher. maybe 15 seconds later a horde of at least 20-30 of the enemies we had to kill came running at us from over a hill. a GM then whispered me "is that enough? haha" one of the best moments i have ever had in a multiplayer game ever

One time a GM gave me over 5,000 gold in classic wow. I was so happy but he asked me not to tell anyone. i never did tell anyone because i was afraid he would get into trouble.I bought my mount bought good gear and even bought some of my friends their first mount and epic mounts.

That is a model concept for any company really. I've worked for a few large companies over the years and I can say that the ones where the president of the company actually interacts with the lower level employees somewhat regularly, it really cuts down on the animosity between the top and the bottom of the corporate ladder. Being in machining, the last company I worked at I had seen the top couple people in power maybe twice a year and it was just in passing with little to no interaction. That was with me being a supervisor at a company with around 500 employees and nobody on the shop floor had any respect for the higher ups.
Back in the days (vanilla/tbc) we had several GM encounters in our raids. I love the way they helped us out in TK. Raidboss Kael'Theas got bugged, two GM's helped us "clipping" through bugged (closed)doors and restarted the raid boss for us. They sat back in the back of the room and watched, while we were killing Kael'Theas, just to make sure it didn't bug again. So sad I didnt record it back then!
When I was like 12 years old playing BTC in the first few days with my guild a GM suddenly spawned into our run of (I think Ramparts) and just stood their silently for a few minutes watching us.. were half scared and half amazed, we didn't know why. Then he just said something like "Hi guys! I just wanted to watch and see how things are working. Keep up the good work!" and chilled with us until we finished the instance. It was strange but kind of heartwarming, he actually did talk to us casually and was very nice lol.
Back in 2011 there was a GM named Samnordin that would spawn in Ogrimmar and turn people into giraffes and throw people into the air. I was chatting with another GM and asked about him/her because I hadn't seen him/her in a while. The GM said to see Samnordin was rare and very special, whatever that meant.
This took me back to the old days of vanilla, we was doing UBRS and had killed Rend - but we couldn’t loot him! So we ticket a GM, and after waiting around for a little while. This Gnome popped out of nowhere! The GM had come to check out what was happening, and he was really nice and talkative. So we asked if he could do something cool, and he spawned some friendly Giraffes that went around in the room :) ah man good times!
i wouldnt call it like that, they actually only trolled or killed ppl, like omar did, he couldve done something good - instead hes having fun killing all. i dont see where this is funny or nice. its just not what u expect, either dont show / show and do nothing / or show and do something good. he took the 4th and worst choice -> show and wipe all. i wouldve fired him for a) not working and b) causing harm to the cummunity.
Back in BC when in Hellfire peninsula everyone in the zone would hear Lord Kazzak yelling when fighting a group of players. One time upon hearing it I did a /yell “bite me!” A second later “Lord Kazzak” whispered me “ok I’ll bite you”.

I don't play WoW anymore for a lot of reasons, including the fact that my health is awful lately. But oh gosh, this brought back good memories of a game that I almost lived and breathed at a time when I was having multiple surgeries and recovery periods.
Reminds me a lot of someone I used to play with who was a main rogue who went by Shotam. Aussie dude who consistently made it to our raids and overall chill dude but he was damn near bed ridden the entire time. We were playing in NA, so it was like 9 or 10 in the morning whenever he came to game with us. I always wondered what happened to him.
We had an amazing incident during an ICC raid in wrath of the lich King. A guild member on the shadowmorne quest bugged up when we killed Arthas and a few of us made tickets. In what must have been a record time for a GM to reply of 15 minutes the GM replied and gave the quest item to the guild member. We then ask the GM to join us in ICC for a chat as we had never seen one. The GM then emerged from the shadows and we were able to see him. We had to invite him to the raid so he could remain in the instance. What was also strange was we were alliance and the GM was Tauren and the chat filler was turn of so we could chat. The 5/6 us left in the raid had a good chat with the GM for about 10 minutes and he left. It was so cool
When Firelands first came out I discovered that as a DK you could use rime / howling blast to permanently slow the trash. I could gather all the trash, and run in massive circles slowly bringing them all down. If anyone remembers, the trash dropped BoE epics that sold for 15k-45k at that time, which was insane. Soloing FL trash yielded 300k for me in one day. Anyways, one of my pulls, after a solid 20 minutes of running in circles spamming HB, a GM spawned in the center of my circle, /s "LOL", despawned all trash, and locks me out of FL. It was hotfixed that day. Good times. If you were one of the lucky few of us that knew about this, let me know how much you made!
I only talked to a gm once in my 14 years of play and we had a few minute conversation of which hot pocket was best. They said ham and cheese so I've not had any respect for blizzard for 14 years
@@kmdsubs3148 except, some of these werent trolls, and one is only speculated to be a GM. and besides, giving a few examples doesnt mean they do it as frequently as they used to.
I used to pvp a lot as a mage in Classic. Some poor Ally on the receiving end reported me for hacking. So while in Arathi Basin I get whipser from a GM saying something along the lines of [GM-Awesomebloke] whispers: Lol dude, I got a report saying you're hacking. [Me] whispers: Yeah I'm not. Who told you? [GM-Awesomebloke] whispers: Can't tell you, but that dude is mad as hell! Have a nice day!
Man I miss the old days of Wow. Not just before Activision, but back when it was a real spectacle to behold. Nothing was even close to as good as Wow. The memories are vast. Strange and almost sad to me that some of my favorite memories are because of that game. I hope I'll be able to find such joy in any game ever again.
I'm 26, some of my friends are slightly younger than me, and they never really got into WoW because of that. I guess we can consider ourselves lucky that we got to experience lightning in a bottle. It's hard to try and even explain what they missed out on.
We used to see GM's in Vanilla pretty often. I remember more then one time running dungeons after spamming general chat for randoms and getting GM's a couple of times.
Back in BC, my guild and I were on the final boss of Karazhan (I think, its been a while), and the boss was bugged and evading everything and not pulling. So we put a ticket in and waited a while, when eventually a guy appeared in the middle of the room, he slow walked towards the boss, transformed into Illidan, grew about 10x in size, and one shot the boss and then vanished. Shortly after the boss reappeared. It blew my young mind getting to see Illidan like that and we were all so excited to have seen what just happened.
Back in WotLK my friend and I were chilling in Goldshire, I can't recall why. But we noticed in the chat people were going "HOW?!" "What are you doing?" "Is he really one shotting you?", we found them and a low level (maybe 15?) Was dueling with a level 70 something. I cant recall the classes but the 15 was "one tapping" the 70 back to back. A GM shows up and instantly chat bubbles had engulfed the screen. Not sure if the 15 was doing something against TOS or if the GM was having some fun but the 70 did say he had nothing in his combat log other than "damage taken: 9999999". Thats the only time I've ever seen a GM and it was for maybe 5 seconds, I don't think he ever spoke a word because of how quickly chat moved.
Ahh i remember back in the day seeing a gm every now and then, it was always a cool thing when they showed up, sometimes just when you had a ticket they'd show up to talk to you about it in game
A GM once contacted me over a ticket.. I think this was back in 2005. I answered his/her questions and after everything was resolved I think he/she asked "what are you doing now?" or something like that. I replied that I was returning a bunch of quests as I had a whole bunch of them completed. Then the GM asked whether I wanted help getting back, and I remember answering "You can do that?? :O" or something. I was 15 I think and didn't know what GM's could or couldn't do. After the GM answering that it was indeed possible and me saying that I'd appreciate the help, I got a really short loading screen, around a second or two. Then I was suddenly standing in the middle of the quest hub. I remember this was in the Western Plaguelands and I was on my way to Chillwind Camp. At the time of the GM asking if I'd like help I was north of Andorhal, so I had a trip ahead of me as Andorhal was packed with mobs. It's nothing special or amazing, but it made quite an impact on my younger self and was the highlight of my day.
From Vanilla through to end of Cata was when I was spending all my time in WoW, and interactions and GM "shenanigans" happened on the regular. It made things fun, and you know there was a good possibility that if something when completely pair shaped you'd likely have a GM randomly watching the area who would either help... or MAKE IT WORSE. Which was good too. Miss those old GM interactions, and I wish WoW would get back to that.
Only GM encounter I ever had was in WotLK, when LFG first dropped, was doing a utgarde keep i think it was, and a GM randomly ported in the dungeon, and followed us through the entire dungeon while talking to us in chat, making sure LFG was working smoothly. Dude was super chill and friendly
I was always pleasantly surprised whenever I had to contact a GM back in the day and I was always left with the feeling of "wow this is why it is worth paying a monthy fee" if you play on an RP server they would show up and do an entire RP with you and never break character WHILE solving your issue within minutes. Makes me actually emotional how things have changed.
I messaged a GM once in tbc to swap a ring from a quest i got because i chose the wrong ring. He spawned me in a remote location and gave me the correct ring and turned me into a pirate for a whole day. Pretty fun
Not WoW, but there was a game I used to play called Mabinogi? The GM's in that game used to show up randomly and it was instantly a party. Good times...shame I'm still alive to remember them.
back in the day when RYL online is still a thing, me and a few IRL (highschool) friends were national champions, and managed to make a guild full of champions. one day, we were bored and pretty much got nothing to do (billions of money, max level, arguably max gears), so we decided to start a friendly match among guild members in the grounds of Edinburg Castle in Caernarvon. we made a small makeshift arena with the members as the "borderline" to surround the 2 contestants in the middle, we switch out contestants after each fight, pretty much like sparring in a dojo. BUT, when we were juuust about to begin the match, a GM came and asked to be the honorary referee. that day there's no way to record anything as a video other than just screenshots. the next update news for RYL, we were so proud to see the screenshots was uploaded by the GM in the website's gallery, showing everything from before the match, mid-match, and after-match selfies. that was a great time, i missed it sometimes.
I met a GM back at the start of BC, they came in and /kill a quest mob that was broken af. When he left however, he accidently transported me to GM island. Its some small island off the map with a lighthouse, he let me run around the island for a min or two, then sent me back to the space goat starting area that I had been in. He was like oops, didn't mean to bring you here, but since you are, look around then I'll send you back. I miss the era of GM's being IN the game, it really was nice to know they were around.
Back when WoW started, I was an explorative nut. Someone had a video of how to get into the old Ironforge. So I explored that route. I ended up dead and underground. Only, a few problems. I played a night elf, so I didn’t get the usual night elf dead view, so everything was black and white for me. Two, I could not unstuck myself or use the release spirit to go to a graveyard. Three, i was floating underground. I was floating around the circumference of Azeroth underground. Every once in a while I would path across a river of water, which was a startling blue compared to all of the grey. Since I was moving, I could exact log out. So I sent out for help and a little while later a GM answered. The GM asked the usual questions and was pretty bland about it, until the GM tried to look for me. And yes I explained I was exploring and got myself into the mess and tried everything I would usually try to get out. The GM was like “And you ended up underground?” “Pretty much.” So the GM had to kind of hunt for me (probably took a few screenshots of me and grabbed a few other GMs with the comment of “Look at this idiot,” kind of commentary, cause I had gotten myself spectacularly stuck and they probably needed it for documentation as well as proof that it did happen.) After a bit, the GM got me above ground and alive. I thanked the GM profusely and told them I wasn’t going to go exploring that way. I also let them know what I saw of the river of blue water I saw, which the GM went “Wait? What?” I think that might be why I hadn’t gotten a temporary ban or anything. I explained about seeing the water and that it was such a contrast against all of the dead grey, and that I had a running theory that it was the water around the underground tram etc etc. The GM let me go and I think went and did their own exploring of that. So many years ago.
I remember this one time we were doing the Nexus dungeon in WOTLK, we're on last boss, and i don't remember what for exactly, but a GM visited us! (maybe we had a problem with the final boss, like not being able to start the fight etc). He did some cool stuff for us, told us GM jokes etc. Pretty sure he fixed the problem too and then left. Good times :)
The GMs in EQ1 used to have a great time with players during the first couple years of the game and interacted in the game often. I remember one time a GM showed up in a lower level zone in the guise of one of the high end raid bosses and just started murdering the lvl 10-20 players while shouting out RP stuff in the zone. it was great. lol
One thing Everwait was much better at was RP server handling, my guild master was a DM as well with only one privilege, warning people about wrong naming or bad conduct and in agreement with a second DM banning them for a week or so. They put the players in charge of RP regulations and that actually worked fantastic.
@@AurioDK I remember the RP servers had strict beginning language rules and the tier'dal "houses" (guilds) would take turns covering the approaches to Nektolus Forest from EC.
@@swordmonkey6635 It got a bit less restrictive overtime when it comes to language, especially in trade zones. You did have to choose a real name though, not a title or a callsign as many think they are entitled to.
We once had a time when one GM on the RP server "Die Aldor" was doing RP in stormwind.. She was sitting in front of the bank and was "reading" a warcraft book in local chat. Everyone was sitting around her and "listening"..
There was one time I was dancing as a snowman back in classic when I was a kid. I had a ticket opened for something I couldn't remember but after having the GM respond I asked if he could show me some cool GM powers. He teleported me into Undercity and a few other Horde faction cities before bringing me back. I always thought it was cool.
Back in vanilla WoW, a hunter kited Lord Kazzak all the way to Stormwind. A GM had to remove him, because he would get stronger with every death, so he was basically immortal. There were so many dead players on the ground that it was like watching a slideshow on my monitor. Only time I've ever seen a GM in game. Not sure how a video of it never surfaced, unless it was a common hunter prank. But I'm pretty sure they changed that mechanic on Kazzak because of this, or gave him a leash. It was so long ago, I can't remember.
I forget which server it was but back in lich I put in a ticket for a bugged quest and a gm showed up as a black sheep and checked it out for me, was a cool experience, they kinda roleplayed a bit with the sheep character, very positive experience
I remember back in vanilla you could ask casual questions in the gm tickets about dragon lore and which dragon would do who and which child came from who etc, good times :). And just constantly messing around with em.
Back in cata when I was strong male orc for the horde levelling with my buddy a GM found us an touched me. Thought I should share my story like everyone else on comments.
My first encounter with a GM moment was in Siege of Orgrimmar when a GM came into our raid and took control of our characters and made us line up, dance and do random emotes for about 10 minutes. Honestly it was pretty funny and everyone was light-hearted about it. The second encounter with a GM was on timeless isle when the GM spawned multiple elite fire mobs at the yaungol rare(not ordos) and said if you can survive you get a rare mount. They were so numerous they killed everyone instantly. 😂
A friend was GM like 2 years ago; GMs are actually not allowed to do "fun stuff" because "it could break the immersion" and tbf, they don't really have the time to do stuff like that because they have extremly unrealistic quotas to fulfill.
Wonderful quality! Like many have others have said, it's surprising seeing as much work put in for such a small channel. Keep it up though! "Kind of messed up" I have to disagree with you, I think it was entirely justified; and quite frankly, not enough. Several of the top name WoW streamers choose the most popular (roleplay) server to do the project sixty on. For several months all you would see in chat is people spamming for project sixty parties, or invites to those kinds of guilds. During those months they griefed a lot of the roleplayers by being extremely disruptive. Picking the biggest mount they could, and obstructing ones view entirely, or by several of them swarming one or several roleplayers, and just jumping up, and down; spamming chat/emotes/toys. I get it, it's Moon Guard, there's a lot of trolls, and luls to be had. But of my time on the server, nothing was as chaotic, or unruly as when the streamers brought their legion to the server. They could have easily chosen one of the many lesser populated servers to do it on. Instead they decided to be as disruptive as they were to an entire server.
The good old days! When I was playing the original Cataclysm I found my first ever botter in Stranglethorn Vale and reported it. Almost immediately a GM whispered and teleported to me to confirm. Around the same time a horde player decided to attack me so I apologized to the GM, proceeded to kill the now escaping hordie (He saw the skull lvl "player" next to me) while the GM cheered me on for a successful kill. Then we proceeded to the bot and I saw the bot simply disappear when the GM banned the account. Got thanked and even some %-healing cookies as a gift. Was a good day!
I've been playing WoW on and off for about 16 years and only seen a GM once. It was in BC and he was flying around without a mount and casting mass polymorph on everyone. We were being turned into giraffes and gazelles and stuff. No idea why he was doing it. Someone suggested he was quitting as a GM and wanted to do something fun on his last night.
You killing mobs before you explain the clip is soo distracting. A static image of what you are explaining followed by the actual clip - or even just playing the actual clip while you talk over it - would be much less disjointing. I get you're probably trying to build anticipation for the clip but I honestly feel like it does the opposite. Once you've explained the clip before showing it I feel like any anticipation is gone because we know what's going to happen anyway.
Aware you probably risk copyright so you dont show the full clip outright but I feel like killing mobs in the interim is not the best filler. Otherwise not a bad video.
@@LousyBuddha how so ? The sentiments from what I've stated has been echoed through this video and others by the OP. From a film perspective you're expecting people to pay attention to two competing ideas - what viewers hear and what they see. If those are not aligned there should be a good reason for it. Killing random irrelevant mobs while OP talks about content is not good enough to get across the message without being distracted by the mob killing.
Years ago during WoD the final door to Illidan in black temple would bug out alot, happend to me on 3 toons and made a ticket about it, about 90 minutes later I got whispered by a GM if my door was still locked/bugged in wich I replied yes, got ported to the instance he revealed himself at the door and opened it for me, 5 min later I dropped my warglaive (Wich I think was just luck) but maybe he did some magic trickery to help me XD
back in the day you could just ask for a GM in general chat in any city and they would do funny stuff like teleport you to GM island or give you a worthless item that had ridiculous text
That one on the arena invasion happend to me but in a battleground. Warsong Gultch and the other team was doing shit that shouldn't have been possible in the game.
Wow i remeber many years ago on wotlk i was lvl 12-13ish had no clue wtf i was doing cause i was pretty new to the game. I asked in chat where is human spawn couple of times and a gm came to me TPed me to the human spawn made my head look like a pumpkin and i had this buff on me called something like"check your head" . Will never forget this fun random encounter with an Blizz GM.. good old WoW pre-WoD times..
I think it was around back in MoP on the Publix Test Realms in org the Lich ling and Varian showed up. Not sure if anyone got video of it but it was a lot of fun lmao
I still remember years ago way back when the caverns of time weren't opened up to people I managed to find a way to climb up and over areas nearby so I could get inside of it to check out the unreleased/unfinished area. It was really cool looking but after the second or third time I checked it out to show some friends a gm teleported me to a random island and told me dont go in there again or I will ban your account. Lol that shit was crazy to me I freaked out about it I thought my account would be banned xD.
i was in av once in BC where a gm appeared on the map he killed the entire horde and alliance raid groups with a mug that had like .1 attack speed then we had to restart the game like nothing happened as he reset all the tower flags. no explanation was given, nor was it needed, was awesome.
Back in the beginning of Cata I had a prof problem on my main and the GM made me log out but said I could play an alt while they fixed it. So I logged onto my alt and actually spotted my main being commandeered by the GM so I tailed them as they walked into the trainer area to go to my trainer for the fix. As they walked out of the room they saw me standing there watching them. They mounted up on a two seater rocket and told me to hop on. When I did they immediately flew me off the coast and deep into fatigue water and logged out.
Day after the Cata announcement we were running a wrath 5 man, hit a bug on a boss and a GM spawned in and changed all our models to Goblins and announced we all caught Cataclysm. they hung around while we downed the bugged boss calling us out for messing up tactics despite us facerolling Heroics at that point anyway. Not seen them do anything like that since. Shame really.

EDIT: and when you buy most of the company´s stock thats when you end up actually calling the shots in said company, so its safe to say, that we all know that wow went to shit after MOP
The quality of this video is way higher than you'd expect for your subcount. Keep up the good work man! You'll get far
Indeed!
I don't play WoW anymore for a lot of reasons, including the fact that my health is awful lately. But oh gosh, this brought back good memories of a game that I almost lived and breathed at a time when I was having multiple surgeries and recovery periods.
Get better friend, remember we gamers are all one big family and you're always welcome to come back
I wish you would be already better and come back on shadowlands!
Reminds me a lot of someone I used to play with who was a main rogue who went by Shotam. Aussie dude who consistently made it to our raids and overall chill dude but he was damn near bed ridden the entire time. We were playing in NA, so it was like 9 or 10 in the morning whenever he came to game with us. I always wondered what happened to him.
Helped me through 10 long years of depression. I'd be gone if it wasn't for WoW tbh
We had an amazing incident during an ICC raid in wrath of the lich King.
A guild member on the shadowmorne quest bugged up when we killed Arthas and a few of us made tickets.
In what must have been a record time for a GM to reply of 15 minutes the GM replied and gave the quest item to the guild member.
We then ask the GM to join us in ICC for a chat as we had never seen one.
The GM then emerged from the shadows and we were able to see him. We had to invite him to the raid so he could remain in the instance.
What was also strange was we were alliance and the GM was Tauren and the chat filler was turn of so we could chat. The 5/6 us left in the raid had a good chat with the GM for about 10 minutes and he left. It was so cool
Riiiiiight so gms can literally do anything in game...yet you had to invite him to your raid so he wouldn’t get removed? 😂 sure bud ..
@@sherrix6881 yea that part was a bit stupid..
@@sherrix6881 So that the GM may have reaso to join them duh
@@themorrigan3673 You clearly know nothing if you believed a word of that.
When Firelands first came out I discovered that as a DK you could use rime / howling blast to permanently slow the trash. I could gather all the trash, and run in massive circles slowly bringing them all down. If anyone remembers, the trash dropped BoE epics that sold for 15k-45k at that time, which was insane. Soloing FL trash yielded 300k for me in one day. Anyways, one of my pulls, after a solid 20 minutes of running in circles spamming HB, a GM spawned in the center of my circle, /s "LOL", despawned all trash, and locks me out of FL. It was hotfixed that day. Good times. If you were one of the lucky few of us that knew about this, let me know how much you made!
I used a shadow priest and was a great farming method back then, the staff alone was selling for 30k
Yup, was doing that with my hunter and slow traps. Good times.
I did the same with a bunch of Friends of Mine. WE Made enough gold that everyone could buy the Sandstone Dragon. Good days
Thats right i bought Sandstone dragon 2 sitplace
I only talked to a gm once in my 14 years of play and we had a few minute conversation of which hot pocket was best. They said ham and cheese so I've not had any respect for blizzard for 14 years
Bacon egg and cheese for sure
Can we even get hot pockets in the UK? I know we can get pop tarts, not sure about hot pockets though
I was part of a raid on Crossroads, and a GM turned everyone into random mobs.
This was so pleasant to watch. Ahhh, the memories.
I really wish there was a "fun with GM" server where they just go around and mess with players
Nah, I think it would take the magic away. Let's just be lucky it happens sometimes
Their apperance is very very rare that's why every moment from them is youtube-views worthy.
"Guys! Our summoning circle worked!" "You DARE to summon a game dev!?" -Enter C'thun-
one GM turned our karazhan raid into leper gnomes back in tbc when we had problems with infernals not resetting on last boss, good times.
WoW was so much more alive back then ... You would've been honored for a gm to tp to your group. Now it's just corporate bullshit.
Two of those happened in the last year and another in the last three years.
@@kmdsubs3148 except, some of these werent trolls, and one is only speculated to be a GM. and besides, giving a few examples doesnt mean they do it as frequently as they used to.
I think interaction like this between blizzard and its players is something that WoW needs more of!
I used to pvp a lot as a mage in Classic. Some poor Ally on the receiving end reported me for hacking. So while in Arathi Basin I get whipser from a GM saying something along the lines of
[GM-Awesomebloke] whispers: Lol dude, I got a report saying you're hacking.
[Me] whispers: Yeah I'm not. Who told you?
[GM-Awesomebloke] whispers: Can't tell you, but that dude is mad as hell! Have a nice day!
lol
You lucky lad lol.
At least try and make up a good story.
Man I miss the old days of Wow. Not just before Activision, but back when it was a real spectacle to behold. Nothing was even close to as good as Wow. The memories are vast. Strange and almost sad to me that some of my favorite memories are because of that game. I hope I'll be able to find such joy in any game ever again.
bro try tetris. shit is NUTZ
@@metalguyn Lol true that.
I'm 26, some of my friends are slightly younger than me, and they never really got into WoW because of that. I guess we can consider ourselves lucky that we got to experience lightning in a bottle. It's hard to try and even explain what they missed out on.
Awesome video! I enjoyed this very much, I remember seeing asmonds stream when that gm popped outta nowhere. Can't wait for more content!
i remember when a DEV catapulted Asmongold into the air shortly after cthun was summoned
We used to see GM's in Vanilla pretty often. I remember more then one time running dungeons after spamming general chat for randoms and getting GM's a couple of times.
Esfand is like a mix between Mike Portnoy and Ron Jeremy.
No hes persian actually
So we can call him
Mike Porntoy
Back in BC, my guild and I were on the final boss of Karazhan (I think, its been a while), and the boss was bugged and evading everything and not pulling. So we put a ticket in and waited a while, when eventually a guy appeared in the middle of the room, he slow walked towards the boss, transformed into Illidan, grew about 10x in size, and one shot the boss and then vanished. Shortly after the boss reappeared. It blew my young mind getting to see Illidan like that and we were all so excited to have seen what just happened.
Back in WotLK my friend and I were chilling in Goldshire, I can't recall why. But we noticed in the chat people were going "HOW?!" "What are you doing?" "Is he really one shotting you?", we found them and a low level (maybe 15?) Was dueling with a level 70 something. I cant recall the classes but the 15 was "one tapping" the 70 back to back. A GM shows up and instantly chat bubbles had engulfed the screen. Not sure if the 15 was doing something against TOS or if the GM was having some fun but the 70 did say he had nothing in his combat log other than "damage taken: 9999999".
Thats the only time I've ever seen a GM and it was for maybe 5 seconds, I don't think he ever spoke a word because of how quickly chat moved.
i was expecting this channel to be one of the 50k+ subs channel, great content and editing.
look forward to seeing you blow up soon!
Was thinking the same thing. I never comment and subscribe, but this time I wanna help this guy :D
Ahh i remember back in the day seeing a gm every now and then, it was always a cool thing when they showed up, sometimes just when you had a ticket they'd show up to talk to you about it in game
Esfand was just having so much fun at the end there. I love that dudes smile.
A GM once contacted me over a ticket.. I think this was back in 2005.
I answered his/her questions and after everything was resolved I think he/she asked "what are you doing now?" or something like that.
I replied that I was returning a bunch of quests as I had a whole bunch of them completed.
Then the GM asked whether I wanted help getting back, and I remember answering "You can do that?? :O" or something. I was 15 I think and didn't know what GM's could or couldn't do.
After the GM answering that it was indeed possible and me saying that I'd appreciate the help, I got a really short loading screen, around a second or two. Then I was suddenly standing in the middle of the quest hub.
I remember this was in the Western Plaguelands and I was on my way to Chillwind Camp. At the time of the GM asking if I'd like help I was north of Andorhal, so I had a trip ahead of me as Andorhal was packed with mobs.
It's nothing special or amazing, but it made quite an impact on my younger self and was the highlight of my day.
I've seen a GM once back in vanilla. private servers were kinda cool cause they would spawn more frequently and do fun stuff like this.
Had a gm troll me and my guild during tbc. Made our moonkin fly among other thibgs
I honestly think its awesome when the gm's have fun with the players. It kind of lets us know they are actually human and care ect.
From Vanilla through to end of Cata was when I was spending all my time in WoW, and interactions and GM "shenanigans" happened on the regular. It made things fun, and you know there was a good possibility that if something when completely pair shaped you'd likely have a GM randomly watching the area who would either help... or MAKE IT WORSE. Which was good too. Miss those old GM interactions, and I wish WoW would get back to that.
Only GM encounter I ever had was in WotLK, when LFG first dropped, was doing a utgarde keep i think it was, and a GM randomly ported in the dungeon, and followed us through the entire dungeon while talking to us in chat, making sure LFG was working smoothly. Dude was super chill and friendly
I was always pleasantly surprised whenever I had to contact a GM back in the day and I was always left with the feeling of "wow this is why it is worth paying a monthy fee" if you play on an RP server they would show up and do an entire RP with you and never break character WHILE solving your issue within minutes. Makes me actually emotional how things have changed.
"And for a few seconds he appears visible for a few seconds"
WELL THEN
I messaged a GM once in tbc to swap a ring from a quest i got because i chose the wrong ring. He spawned me in a remote location and gave me the correct ring and turned me into a pirate for a whole day. Pretty fun
I remember a GM being in our ICC raid during Wrath. He didn't do anything crazy, but was watching while invisible. He did pop up once!
I remember the devs vs players battlegrounds on the PTR. I never had so much fun
Not WoW, but there was a game I used to play called Mabinogi? The GM's in that game used to show up randomly and it was instantly a party. Good times...shame I'm still alive to remember them.
I miss being a Game Master. It was the best geek street cred xD
U was gm? Sick
back in the day when RYL online is still a thing, me and a few IRL (highschool) friends were national champions, and managed to make a guild full of champions. one day, we were bored and pretty much got nothing to do (billions of money, max level, arguably max gears), so we decided to start a friendly match among guild members in the grounds of Edinburg Castle in Caernarvon. we made a small makeshift arena with the members as the "borderline" to surround the 2 contestants in the middle, we switch out contestants after each fight, pretty much like sparring in a dojo. BUT, when we were juuust about to begin the match, a GM came and asked to be the honorary referee. that day there's no way to record anything as a video other than just screenshots. the next update news for RYL, we were so proud to see the screenshots was uploaded by the GM in the website's gallery, showing everything from before the match, mid-match, and after-match selfies. that was a great time, i missed it sometimes.
I met a GM back at the start of BC, they came in and /kill a quest mob that was broken af. When he left however, he accidently transported me to GM island. Its some small island off the map with a lighthouse, he let me run around the island for a min or two, then sent me back to the space goat starting area that I had been in. He was like oops, didn't mean to bring you here, but since you are, look around then I'll send you back. I miss the era of GM's being IN the game, it really was nice to know they were around.
"EVerybody get 5 yards apart" Shouts that to 10000 ppl in the tiny throne room :D
Back when WoW started, I was an explorative nut. Someone had a video of how to get into the old Ironforge. So I explored that route. I ended up dead and underground. Only, a few problems. I played a night elf, so I didn’t get the usual night elf dead view, so everything was black and white for me. Two, I could not unstuck myself or use the release spirit to go to a graveyard. Three, i was floating underground. I was floating around the circumference of Azeroth underground. Every once in a while I would path across a river of water, which was a startling blue compared to all of the grey. Since I was moving, I could exact log out. So I sent out for help and a little while later a GM answered. The GM asked the usual questions and was pretty bland about it, until the GM tried to look for me. And yes I explained I was exploring and got myself into the mess and tried everything I would usually try to get out. The GM was like “And you ended up underground?” “Pretty much.” So the GM had to kind of hunt for me (probably took a few screenshots of me and grabbed a few other GMs with the comment of “Look at this idiot,” kind of commentary, cause I had gotten myself spectacularly stuck and they probably needed it for documentation as well as proof that it did happen.) After a bit, the GM got me above ground and alive. I thanked the GM profusely and told them I wasn’t going to go exploring that way. I also let them know what I saw of the river of blue water I saw, which the GM went “Wait? What?” I think that might be why I hadn’t gotten a temporary ban or anything. I explained about seeing the water and that it was such a contrast against all of the dead grey, and that I had a running theory that it was the water around the underground tram etc etc. The GM let me go and I think went and did their own exploring of that. So many years ago.
I remember this one time we were doing the Nexus dungeon in WOTLK, we're on last boss, and i don't remember what for exactly, but a GM visited us! (maybe we had a problem with the final boss, like not being able to start the fight etc). He did some cool stuff for us, told us GM jokes etc. Pretty sure he fixed the problem too and then left. Good times :)
the ingame gamemasters made for memorable moments for sure! Loved that.
The GMs in EQ1 used to have a great time with players during the first couple years of the game and interacted in the game often. I remember one time a GM showed up in a lower level zone in the guise of one of the high end raid bosses and just started murdering the lvl 10-20 players while shouting out RP stuff in the zone. it was great. lol
One thing Everwait was much better at was RP server handling, my guild master was a DM as well with only one privilege, warning people about wrong naming or bad conduct and in agreement with a second DM banning them for a week or so. They put the players in charge of RP regulations and that actually worked fantastic.
@@AurioDK I remember the RP servers had strict beginning language rules and the tier'dal "houses" (guilds) would take turns covering the approaches to Nektolus Forest from EC.
@@swordmonkey6635 It got a bit less restrictive overtime when it comes to language, especially in trade zones. You did have to choose a real name though, not a title or a callsign as many think they are entitled to.
We once had a time when one GM on the RP server "Die Aldor" was doing RP in stormwind.. She was sitting in front of the bank and was "reading" a warcraft book in local chat. Everyone was sitting around her and "listening"..
Bro this video is amazing you diserve more subs!
There was one time I was dancing as a snowman back in classic when I was a kid. I had a ticket opened for something I couldn't remember but after having the GM respond I asked if he could show me some cool GM powers. He teleported me into Undercity and a few other Horde faction cities before bringing me back. I always thought it was cool.
Great video - had my own encounters with GMs back in the day in TBC. Never saw these - was very entertaining
Back in vanilla WoW, a hunter kited Lord Kazzak all the way to Stormwind. A GM had to remove him, because he would get stronger with every death, so he was basically immortal. There were so many dead players on the ground that it was like watching a slideshow on my monitor. Only time I've ever seen a GM in game. Not sure how a video of it never surfaced, unless it was a common hunter prank. But I'm pretty sure they changed that mechanic on Kazzak because of this, or gave him a leash. It was so long ago, I can't remember.
I forget which server it was but back in lich I put in a ticket for a bugged quest and a gm showed up as a black sheep and checked it out for me, was a cool experience, they kinda roleplayed a bit with the sheep character, very positive experience
I remember back in vanilla you could ask casual questions in the gm tickets about dragon lore and which dragon would do who and which child came from who etc, good times :).
And just constantly messing around with em.
Back in cata when I was strong male orc for the horde levelling with my buddy a GM found us an touched me. Thought I should share my story like everyone else on comments.
lol that C'Thun summon at the end was hilarious
My first encounter with a GM moment was in Siege of Orgrimmar when a GM came into our raid and took control of our characters and made us line up, dance and do random emotes for about 10 minutes. Honestly it was pretty funny and everyone was light-hearted about it.
The second encounter with a GM was on timeless isle when the GM spawned multiple elite fire mobs at the yaungol rare(not ordos) and said if you can survive you get a rare mount. They were so numerous they killed everyone instantly. 😂
A friend was GM like 2 years ago; GMs are actually not allowed to do "fun stuff" because "it could break the immersion" and tbf, they don't really have the time to do stuff like that because they have extremly unrealistic quotas to fulfill.
Wonderful quality! Like many have others have said, it's surprising seeing as much work put in for such a small channel. Keep it up though!
"Kind of messed up" I have to disagree with you, I think it was entirely justified; and quite frankly, not enough. Several of the top name WoW streamers choose the most popular (roleplay) server to do the project sixty on. For several months all you would see in chat is people spamming for project sixty parties, or invites to those kinds of guilds. During those months they griefed a lot of the roleplayers by being extremely disruptive. Picking the biggest mount they could, and obstructing ones view entirely, or by several of them swarming one or several roleplayers, and just jumping up, and down; spamming chat/emotes/toys.
I get it, it's Moon Guard, there's a lot of trolls, and luls to be had. But of my time on the server, nothing was as chaotic, or unruly as when the streamers brought their legion to the server. They could have easily chosen one of the many lesser populated servers to do it on. Instead they decided to be as disruptive as they were to an entire server.
The good old days! When I was playing the original Cataclysm I found my first ever botter in Stranglethorn Vale and reported it. Almost immediately a GM whispered and teleported to me to confirm. Around the same time a horde player decided to attack me so I apologized to the GM, proceeded to kill the now escaping hordie (He saw the skull lvl "player" next to me) while the GM cheered me on for a successful kill. Then we proceeded to the bot and I saw the bot simply disappear when the GM banned the account. Got thanked and even some %-healing cookies as a gift. Was a good day!
Was turned into a giraffe and had a go follow me around while questing once in LK
I've been playing WoW on and off for about 16 years and only seen a GM once. It was in BC and he was flying around without a mount and casting mass polymorph on everyone. We were being turned into giraffes and gazelles and stuff. No idea why he was doing it. Someone suggested he was quitting as a GM and wanted to do something fun on his last night.
Happy to see Esfand in this and bring back so many memories. I had GM stories from back in day lmao.
You killing mobs before you explain the clip is soo distracting. A static image of what you are explaining followed by the actual clip - or even just playing the actual clip while you talk over it - would be much less disjointing.
I get you're probably trying to build anticipation for the clip but I honestly feel like it does the opposite. Once you've explained the clip before showing it I feel like any anticipation is gone because we know what's going to happen anyway.
Aware you probably risk copyright so you dont show the full clip outright but I feel like killing mobs in the interim is not the best filler.
Otherwise not a bad video.
Hahaha what is this.... Become self aware; you're embarrassing yourself.
@@LousyBuddha how so ? The sentiments from what I've stated has been echoed through this video and others by the OP.
From a film perspective you're expecting people to pay attention to two competing ideas - what viewers hear and what they see. If those are not aligned there should be a good reason for it.
Killing random irrelevant mobs while OP talks about content is not good enough to get across the message without being distracted by the mob killing.
@@ryanmacallister6373 Clip your fingernails...
Ryan Macallister Because an 8 minute YT video and film production theory are related, right?
I miss the old visual and sound effect of the dks howling blast
Loved the video keep it up 👍🏻
You deserve to have more subscribers mate. Great content!
Years ago during WoD the final door to Illidan in black temple would bug out alot, happend to me on 3 toons and made a ticket about it, about 90 minutes later I got whispered by a GM if my door was still locked/bugged in wich I replied yes, got ported to the instance he revealed himself at the door and opened it for me, 5 min later I dropped my warglaive (Wich I think was just luck) but maybe he did some magic trickery to help me XD
I’ve had GM’s drop into my raids throughout my time playing wow.
It’s sad we don’t see it anymore.
back in the day you could just ask for a GM in general chat in any city and they would do funny stuff like teleport you to GM island or give you a worthless item that had ridiculous text
That one on the arena invasion happend to me but in a battleground. Warsong Gultch and the other team was doing shit that shouldn't have been possible in the game.
Never had WOW gm's mess with me but the ones from UO did quite a few times. Some of them I disserved.
The location of the gameplay in backround?
I don't understand why 60 is inappropriate. Can anyone explain?
The footage of the Unholy DK not using his ghoul is really upsetting.
I remember back in the days the GM’s used to actually care if they used the kill command. They could have teleported them to stormwind or something.
I had a gm in vanilla or tbc come in during the thanksgiving holiday outside Stormwind. Eat all the food and run away lol
Wow i remeber many years ago on wotlk i was lvl 12-13ish had no clue wtf i was doing cause i was pretty new to the game. I asked in chat where is human spawn couple of times and a gm came to me TPed me to the human spawn made my head look like a pumpkin and i had this buff on me called something like"check your head" . Will never forget this fun random encounter with an Blizz GM.. good old WoW pre-WoD times..
about the dm who killed asmon: he was even in the stream as a viewer and someone gifted him a sub afterwards
I think it was around back in MoP on the Publix Test Realms in org the Lich ling and Varian showed up. Not sure if anyone got video of it but it was a lot of fun lmao
I still remember years ago way back when the caverns of time weren't opened up to people I managed to find a way to climb up and over areas nearby so I could get inside of it to check out the unreleased/unfinished area. It was really cool looking but after the second or third time I checked it out to show some friends a gm teleported me to a random island and told me dont go in there again or I will ban your account. Lol that shit was crazy to me I freaked out about it I thought my account would be banned xD.
Ah world of warcraft how I've missed you. When I first got this game during cataclysm....good times....think I'll go now hop on again.
It was only good before cataclysm. You missed out.
This made me wish I got into WoW much sooner than I did, when I was first introduced. I would've had so much fun.
i remember being apart pf the omar summoning. was one of the best times ive had in wow ever
“NOOOO! The chain lighting! Guys! Everybody gets 5 yards apart!”
😂🤣😂🤣😂
bro predicted social distancing
i was in av once in BC where a gm appeared on the map he killed the entire horde and alliance raid groups with a mug that had like .1 attack speed then we had to restart the game like nothing happened as he reset all the tower flags. no explanation was given, nor was it needed, was awesome.
WoW GM's is more around in the Beta and they start spawning so many different bosses in cities... when the Beta is about to die.
Back in the beginning of Cata I had a prof problem on my main and the GM made me log out but said I could play an alt while they fixed it. So I logged onto my alt and actually spotted my main being commandeered by the GM so I tailed them as they walked into the trainer area to go to my trainer for the fix. As they walked out of the room they saw me standing there watching them. They mounted up on a two seater rocket and told me to hop on. When I did they immediately flew me off the coast and deep into fatigue water and logged out.
Wife had gotten stuck in booty bay had to get a GM to take her out that GM had a great time porting both us around for a sec. Man all the memories
Gotta love when someone explains everything you're about to see.
Day after the Cata announcement we were running a wrath 5 man, hit a bug on a boss and a GM spawned in and changed all our models to Goblins and announced we all caught Cataclysm. they hung around while we downed the bugged boss calling us out for messing up tactics despite us facerolling Heroics at that point anyway. Not seen them do anything like that since. Shame really.
