Oh no
Been there, 2 years ago I had a character bugged in Azshara DURING THE 15 YEAR EVENT and it cost me tons of the timewalking badges... and they finally fixed it after 3 days, and said they couldnt give me any of what I would've earned if not crashed. BUT.... There was a near bis Staff that dropped from 1 of the dragons, and this was like, better than most raid gear and an amazing transmog item too. And what dropped the first time I killed the dragon in Azshara while gitched? THE STAFF!!!! SO I think to this day that Blizzard threw me a bone :)
100years later...

The gms having actual in-game avatars and a special outfit was like they were some secret group of powerful mages or something... was awesome
we got them to hyjack our raid once in hyjal progression when i was 15, it's still one of my fondest gaming memories 15 years later
They still do have those costumed but they never ever show up anymore. They just stay on GM Island

This is when GMs really interacted with the players, added to the community so much.
Yeah I miss this so much.
they closed a lot of Customer SUpport Offices after Activision got involved.
@@timopint1125 many companies, not just game companies seem to do that these days. They intentionally make it as convoluded and complicated as they can to get in contact with them
I could of sworn blind back then that Blizzard had the best customer support worldwide.
people miss the First Ones. ;D
Back in Ulduar we got stuck on the Door after the guardians. Even though the trashmob was down, it didn’t open. Asked for a GM. 10 minutes Later a giant Illidan stood in front of the door. It opened, then he turned and yelled „it was not prepared“ and disappeared again.
Will never forget this. That’s when you felt like a player and not a payer of a game.
Epic
That's legendary
No freaking way thats amazing!!
Liar
Hahahahahah
When I was younger (not long after I started playing during TBC) I used to intentionally go and get myself stuck in the boat on that island off the coast of Auberdine every so often. The first time I did it was unintentional, and a super nice GM helped me out and we had a really nice chat. After that, he'd always recognise my ticket when I'd go and get myself stuck again. He'd come get me out and we'd regularly sit on that little island and just talk about random stuff.
Blizz would probably slap me with a permaban for doing that now lmao. Hope the guy is living his best life!
Theyd probably slap u elsewhere too now; The degeneracy in the company came slow but apparent post-Activision buyout
that is honestly the most heart warming thing i've read this week, that's so wholesome man
@Wex They made clear it was during TBC hun (AKA the Xpac before Vanilla)
@Rose's Zen Garden OOP- Yep, my bad lmao
if thats true, then its amazing tbh
Back then, GM's had to be logged into the game to communicate with players, which is the entire reason for GM Island to even exist. I remember doing the Arathi Highlands Horde quest where you kill the patrol that roams the main road and the NPC's head wouldnt drop. Then a GM transported me to the pirate cove down south. He was a Troll Priest, wasn't wearing the GM clothes. Then he made en entire show out of it, pretending to be searching his pockets for the quest item. Like a magician pulling things out of his hat, all sorts of effects for like 10 min. When he finally found the quest item and handed it to me, he teleported both of us both back to the questgiver in Hammerfall where he did some more theatrics before turning into a dragon whelp that started inflating like a hot air baloon turning red. Then he exploded into a massive ammounts of fireworks that almost crashed my PC and he was gone.
how cool is that story, oh my gosh. incredible GM :D
thank you for sharing this story
(That almost crashed my pc) I definitely remember those days😂😂☠️
i remember a lvl 1 murloc in goldhain next 2 the watter, that was a gm .
i was a new player at my first char , fresh level 6-7 and i have a quest that i have kill murloks , and i dont cant atack that one ....
i write a ticked that there is a bug with the quest mob ..... 10 minuts later the murloc write with me and give me 4 of the runclose 16bags and the 60% and 100% mount just the skill I have 2 lern myself later .
i remember that a friend show me how 2 buged up the walls of stormwind that you can walk on the main dor .... we just hanging there up a litle time 20-30min an watch the guys comming and leven stormwind ..... and out of nothing there was 3 GM that chill one a campfire next 2 us .....
GM's in the old days , one of the points why the game was greate ..... every time on some discord or TS some on have a greate story about them , i thing the old GM's are the most underrated thing wat make wow vanila and bc to that wat we still love ....
That's so cool i remember gms being like this, almost magical,
"Your secret is safe with me."
281k people: ah yes, the secret is safe with us
Bro its 14 years ago... Maybe he already quit
More like Our secret now
390k people
401k people
Chances are gm is one of the viewers haha!
Back in 2006 trying to kill C'thun and going for server/world first with my guild, a GM appeared right after we all died to tentacles. He said "come on guys you can do it, kill the small tentacles faster!". Then we had a really great and fun chat with him for 10 minutes before he wished us all good luck and disappeared again.
Brings backs a little tear to my eyes...
And did the advice helped ?
good ole wow
Wasn't uncommon for bored GMs to watch guilds raid.
Particularly any guilds attempting Server/World Firsts would also have GMs watching frequently
dude ... this is bringing back so much nostalgia. The only way we can get anything remotely close to this is ... on private servers.
sadly true
And we had it on Nostalrius
@@History-Remastered yeah...
Or FF14. There is this dude that got a name that broke their TOS and asked the GM if he could sing him a song, and so he did.
private servers dead in general. only active is shitmane.
One time I ran out of a dungeon when I was poisoned and I died on top of one of the tallest mushrooms in zangarmarsh (where I queued I guess?) I wandered around as a ghost for like 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get to my body, then I opened a ticket. A GM talked to me very nicely and understanding, and asked why I didn't use the return to life at graveyard thing, and I simply said I had never used that before, I always run to my body and I didnt want to take the armor damage. The GM put me back alive and gave me 20 gold! I felt really positive about GMs after that
chad gm
20 gold was so much back then too 🤣
you are lying about the 20 gold, they cant do that LOL
@@danielhanson1434 no, I'm not lying. I didn't even really care about getting it because I rarely buy anything, I was just surprised and didn't know why he gave it to me. But he did. It might have come in the mail from the gm with a nice note
@@rosenia5409 in tbc?
I remember perfectly when i was a small kid and didn't understand anything about the game I would often make GM tickets just asking very obvious stuff. For example one time I made my character drink a lot of alcoholic and I opened a ticket asking what was going on, why was everything so blurry and how long would it take to be fixed. The GM appeared and understanding I was just a kid just, in a very fun way and politely, explained to me all the in game effects of drinking alcohol (blurry vision, walk erratically, mobs showing with less level than they actually are, etc.) and I find it great that for something so minimal and unimportant a GM still got the time to chat with me for a bit and made for a very nice memory
lol i did the same but i started cry and ran to my brother to fix it :D
I didn't know mobs appeared to have different level than their real ones when we are drunk. Never knew this before today.
I remember back when I was playing TBC as a 15 year old, I was pretty rubbish at the game and another player (a complete elitist) was being nasty to me in one of the dungeons (even though we were doing just fine). Another player in the party reported him, and a GM appeared within 15 minutes in my chat window and apologised to me, and told me the other player had been warned not to be such an ass. Everything was fine from there on that day. Back then I felt like my sub fee was really worth it.
i remember back in WoTLK i opened a ticket about hogger not respawning and i asked if the gm could turn into illidan, he said he would one up me and turned me into a giant chicken the size of stormwind for 5 minutes, was a lot of fun chasing after people.
Man this made me so happy and nostalgic yet so sad at the same time. I'm going to take my cup of yorkshire tea and cry in my bedroom now. Thank you
I see what's happened here. At the time of this video, we were all young gamers enjoying this wonderful MMO. Then, the game gradually became shite whilst we gradually grew up and became tea drinkers. Now, all we are left with is our wistful memories and our Yorkshire tea 😢😭
This reminds me of a past GM back in the good ole days. This is how he introduced himself. .... A small remote control car comes blazing past you. It turns around screeching its tires. The car runs into your foot. A gnome head pops out of the car. "Hey there I see you opened a ticket. How can I assist you?" I feel sorry for the people who didnt get in early enough to enjoy this type of service here. Blizzard at one point did have VERY passionate people working for them.
@@kingsrefuge They still kinda do, it´s just they spend more time fending off harrassers and in therapy than they spend in the actual game.
Count me in buddy hahaha
In WotLK, after a GM unstuck me I asked him for advice on how to beat rogues and he told me to try rerolling warlock.
sage advice
That's some "We'd prefer if you didn't play Demonology" brand of advice right there.
They say... Rogues and Noobs have one thing in common. They both pick locks.
I remember talking to multiple GM’s back in the day, they even spoke in a ‘roleplaying’ kind of way. This is one of the things that made the game feel so immersive. It’s crazy how far the company has driven away from the playerbase over the years..
When gm's were people and not Acti-bots, some gm interactions with the world were rare but always funny.
Back in the day it was a common thought that the monthly sub you payed had to net you a full costumer service. Those GMs are people like you and me, and while they had to work, they always seemed to be friendly and had enought time to even joke with you. It`s really unfortunate that this practice died out, as it was appearently too expensive to hire the GMs and an automated, non-humane system was cheaper. At least Bobby got some more money for his second yacht.

Why are you crying...
Come on turtle wow or vanilla+. You will come back to that past
@@sebastianberats1064 im downloading turtle wow as we speak
I remember in Classic I couldn't turn in a quest in Lights Hope, a GM appeared quickly then he started spinning the bald guy around in circles like a fidget spinner and up and then down and told me it's done, I was laughing so hard.
In classic? Or in Vanilla? What bald guy? How did you get a GM in classic?
@@ThatSB "Lights Hope" my dude, sadly that server was also nuked when vanilla was released
@@Basuko_Smoker Lights Hope is also a location in Eastern Plaguelands.
@@ara9914 nice to know :D
@@ThatSB I assume he's talking about Huntsman Leopold when referring to the bald guy and that he played in vanilla and mixed up the 2 words because there are no GMs around anymore.
I was raiding Illidan and the boss got stuck in P2 and wouldnt come down after we had defeated the flames. I opened a ticket the GM teleported me to the top of the hand of guldan in shadowmoon about 60foot in the air and threw massive blue fireballs at me whilst i told him what was up... we teleported back to the raid instance where he turned our entire raid into giraffes whilst he tried to fix the boss.. after a while his boss apeared in game turned us all into gnomes and continued to look into it.. after another 10 mins they told us to get ready reverted us back to our characters and activated his final phase after we had gotten ready and done the pull timer. then gave us a free heroism. Best illidan kill we ever had :D
The amount of nostalgia this brings back is amazing, and I love reading the stories of peoples interactions with GMs from back then.
One of my own fondest memories of WoW from when I was younger, was an interaction with a GM during TBC.
Was in Shadowmoon Valley, a quest involving a big crocodile in a lava river close to Black Temple.
He was bugged in a way where you could target him, but not attack him, so I contacted a GM about the issue.
Not long after I got a response, and the GM told me he would look into the issue. He proceeded to tell me to try some things out to find a fix, do a /dance, /rude and whatnot, just for giggles I assume. He then told me to try and do /point, and as soon as I did, the crocodile disappeared. The GM acted as being in panic, said "Oh what did you do! I will get in trouble for this." and so on. Of course I knew this to be a joke and had a good laugh, and the crocodile appeared moments later and was attackable once more.
We also had a good chat, and to this day is still one of the best memories I have about Blizzard support as it was once upon a time.. may that practice RIP in peace.
I remember raiding Naxxramas at the beginning of Wrath back in late 2008/early 2009… and there was this Gm teleporting himself into the instance. We just wiped once on Noth. And on our way back he spawned at the end of the stairs right before the boss room and turned everyone in the raid into a turkey. It was just so weird but funny at the same time 😂 we managed to kill the boss as turkeys and later he turned us back. I don’t remember what we wrote with him, but it was a situation I’ll never forget! 😂👍🏼 ah Good old times!
Good ol turkey buff
Dude, this is sick!!! Gold moments you had.
one time in wrath. uhm one of the dogs i think in icc were suppose to drop something but didnt. idr totally but the raid leader opened a ticket and a gm came. he wanted us to do funny stuff like dance in a line, then he polly'd the whole raid because we werent doing it . it was so funny.
A GM helped me one time, back when they'd chat with you. As a last question, I asked him what the respawn rate was on the drake in Deepholm that drops a mount. His answer?
"Somewhere between now and the end of time!"
I laughed and thanked him for his time. Those were the days, real human interactions with a GM.
Gms were amongst the coolest, mysterious, powerful entities in wow. I got one to show himself to me once and I told me friends about it for days. Even had a screenshot of him and me but my old HDD died with lots of gaming memories on it.
Once one actively helped us with a bug in a raid. Little things, but things I'll never forget.
Just in case you don't know, if your HD died as in not booting your pc anymore instead of completely fried, you might be able to recover the data using specialized software. I'd try cloning it to another HD and see what I can recover. Let me know if you need help, though I'm not at all an expert in any of this.
They've made it damned near impossible to even open a ticket in the first place today.
Their new system literally tries hard to send you to FAQs and it gets really annoying because FAQs aren’t always going to answer your question regarding to a scenario.
Came back to wow last year, and I'm baffled by how few GMs there are. The few times I had to contact a GM I got nothing. And the only time I got a GM they answered "Just block that person :)".
Gee thanks. I can just block a person who death threatened me with sexual assault included just because I rolled a dark skin Blood Elf. Thanks for letting a toxic guy like that walk around and mess with other people's experience.
It makes sense really, Blizz wants people to pay their sub, but not give the quality of the product.
@@BlondieRUclips Wow, can you share some more information, i always hear about this problem, but i cant really imagine the situation, maybe you can enlighten me, from your first hand experience
@@viktoracs4045 Just a very toxic dude that thinks threatening with rape is a normal thing to say to people? I dunno, just blocking a guy doesn't do the job in my head. There are people who are dislikable, but there are also people who scare away the normal people. But I think blizz just wants to keep everyone, including the extreme toxic people.
@@BlondieRUclips An extremely toxic person to you is $15 a month to blizzard. That's how they see things nowadays.
Alternative title:
"It's 2021 and you're playing private servers"
The green nameplate on the GM really says it all, lol...
Reminds me of when I was a GM at Blizzard. After you had to hit your strict daily ticket target I’d just help people with stuff like this and talk to them.
Do u have any funny stories to share please ?
What do you have to be A GM ? Any Training or Gaming EXP how old and how did you join to be A GM The Work was it nice how many GMs where there with you
@@Lacriimah NOT like WOW had not much players all around the world Young and Old haha ([Sarcasm] many left some are still there)
Tell us some stories from the time you were a GM. What did the job entail other than fun moments like interacting with other players? How different was Blizz back then?
lmao you were not a GM anyone who believes this is a retard
This is what a game looks like made and supported by people with a passion for games. I wish current WoW would have people like that.
This is what a game looks like before Bobby Kotick gets his grubby paws on it.
its fake btw.
@@Crazyinnova Actually this is pretty close to what it was like interacting with a GM back then. Your ticket was responded to in minutes, not days or weeks.
@@Crazyinnova obviously this video is staged, but it's very close to how you used to interact with a GM back then, both the kind of conversation and the waiting time
@@LuLu-uz3lg Absolutely. I have many fond memories pretty similar to this one.
Even sat on the coast of STV with a GM and talked.
I had a GM back in TBC days help me out in a very similar situation, I fell off Teldrassil after trying to look over the edge, and couldn't reach my body because it landed on a branch way, way down, although not all the way. At the time I was roughly 12 years old, and was unaware of spirit ressurection being a thing, I thought corpse running was the only way to get back to life. I therefore made a ticket trying to articulate to the best of my abilities (Non-native English) what had happen. Just a couple of minutes later, I got a whisper from a GM asking what the problem was, and I explained yet again what had occurred, and how. They went on to ress me roughly where I fell off (although further from the edge) and I thanked them for it. I can't seem to recall they told me about res sickness/ressing at the spirit healer, but I'd have to assume they did and I simply forgot that part of it. Either way, it was a very nice experience and it made me feel like they really cared about their players and their game.
It is unironically my best memory from those times, mostly as a result of my TBC experience at 12 was to hit lvl 70 and thought "I've beaten the game!", I had no idea about raids existing, and thought dungeons were purely for leveling purposes x) I only returned to WoW a few years later, with the release of cataclysm, which I immediately saw in a slightly negative light, because my 2nd best and fondest memory from those TBC times is Auberdine in Darkshore being the 'main hub' for night elves fresh off of Teldrassil, and how much time I'd spend there even as my leveling took me other places back when I was 12.. It was my hearthstone location all the way to level 70, and Deathwing destroyed it! >:(
I had some negative feelings towards the Cataclysm expansion for the very same reason! -That, and because they removed the class quests. (Oh, and also, my first memorable event in WoW was also the exact same - falling off Teldrassil, corpse stuck halfway down. -I spent an afternoon circling Teldrassil in Wisp-form...!)
i remember how passionate gms used to be I had a quest issue where it bugged start of wrath and this dude literally teleported me to the quest giver after i had abandoned the quest now days i get told to fk myself and ill have my future tickets closed if i open further lmao.... if i want to open more then 1 because my issue was not resolved
The old Blizzard was great. Years ago in December I forgot to pay my monthly payment and the bank was closed, I sent them a ticket asking for a day of game time to be able to be with my scheduled raid companions, they gave me the game month as a gift. Of course the next day in gratitude I bought 3 months of game time.
They just gave some random guy $15 , what a company Blizzard used to be
@@Rectanglesful
Of so many users it just had to be me at Christmas and just not being able to pay my subscription. I sent a ticket begging if they could give me more time and they agreed immediately. For me it was a gesture of love to the community.
meanwhile my account got hacked so they banned me until I could send a photocopy of my ID in the mail. I was 14 and didn't have one. user exp may vary.
@@jimmyjohnson8233 Seriously though, how else would you have been able to handle it? You could have been the hacker pretending
Yep, they are such a terrible company now. I downloaded Diablo 2 the other day, and it took over 2hours to download because my internet was bogged down that day, the game crashed every time i tried to play it. I had to open like 15 tickets asking for a refund and was told no every time, and that if I open more tickets they will delete my account. I told them thats BS to talk to a customer of 16 years like that, told them they are refusing to troubleshoot the issue or refund my money, 4 days later after opening a ticket with the BBB, I get a msg from a supervisor, who I had to ask for 5 times, who said we don't normally refund games that get played for more than two hours (which was 2 hours downloading) but we will make an exception this time and refund you.
The company used to be so cool, gone to complete shit now.
I remember one time I was jumping around Goldshire inn and managed to get myself stuck behind the barrels in the corner behind the main door. I submitted a ticket and I must of waited around 3 minutes until a gm showed up in physical form and spammed me with a bunch of spells to try and free me, he could of just tp'd me but I guess he wanted to have a little bit of fun. This is when Blizzard had soul back in 2009. Around 3 months ago I was playing retail and my character got stuck inside an instance, I submitted a ticket, it auto logged me out and my character wasn't available again for a few hours. There really is a huge difference between past and present wow. I will always look back on my time in WoW very fondly, pre-cataclysm. Truly my best moments in gaming
I always loved when I could get GMs to appear.
If you try to duel them it says something along the lines of "You cannot duel god targets" or something like that.
I remember asking a GM what weapon they used and they linked it and it was some lightsaber that had an effect of killing everything with one shot. They were genuinely great to interact with.
I remember back in Wrath, an officer in the guild put in a ticket and was talking to a GM in game and the guild officer made a derogatory comment about the GM in guild chat and the GM sent a sad face in our guild chat, it was classic.
I remember playing during WotLK, and I hit finally Level 80, I was on ICC but solo, so it was impossible to kill anything, but I was trying again and again, suddenly a whisper from a Blizz suddenly appears saying "What the hell are u doing? Trying to solo a 10-man raid? Lol", then a long conversation about what are Raids and why I can't solo them starts, sweet memories, on this days I make a ticket and I have to wait like 24 hours for a response and it's a semi-copypaste of a common answer :c
@samirdoncic6395 Yeah. You can have someone on party and then convert into a raid and that's it
Back in like 2009 I was doing stuff in Orgrimmar for the Midsummer Fire Festival and a COLOSSAL fucking troll GM appeared and started throwing fire balls around yelling some stuff for a few seconds, then disappeared. That shit was more legendary than any plotline in WOW.
lmao
They need more wacky shit, stuff that just screws people over like the old plague etc. Big events need to happen more often, and just ignore people that reee about it ruining their fun
@@krognak i remember in vanilla back in 2005, people, usually a hunter, would train a world boss (can't remember which one, think it was the non-dragon big monster guy) all the way to Stormwind. There would just be corpses all over, and i had heard that it would take a GM to intervene and get rid of the boss.
Or the Horde would get enough people to come try and take out a capitol city, or smaller city like Lakewood or w/e the Redridge town is called. I'd see on General Chat people asking for help to come fight them off from wherever the action was.
I don't know if it was because I was a lot younger or what, but the game just felt a lot more like an adventure back then. So much was undiscovered and it was so easy to get immersed into the game. Was a lot of fun, through and through.
@Nocti Nox Well yeah it's too late now lmao, but past me would enjoy it
@@erikgriswold5273 Hell yeah, I remember shit like that when it was possible. People say "uh its just nostalgia", well, yeah it is, because it was so eventful and big that things like that are seared into your memory. A lot of us grew up with WoW by our side...pathetic as it sounds, but to see it wither and fall apart is just heartbreaking, like having someone go through dementia or some shit.
It's forgotten what it meant, who it is, what it did for everyone. Now it's just a hollow shell churning out bullshit that people put up with. It's fucking miserable...
i remember a gm setting us up in a line and giving the entire raid an achievement one after the other when our raid lead showed him that we were under the required time needed to get the achievement
was an achievement run in ulduar at kolagarn over a decade ago
and when i leveled a draenei hunter on tbc launch misclicked a quest reward in bloodmyst isle and the gm told me to just delete the wrong item, he added the one i wanted to my inventory after
the personal interaction with GMs added to blizzards image of really caring about their players
I was a GM for EverQuest back in the day and these kinds of interactions made the game and customer service a magical experience.
God bless u! It was wonderful to see a GM there:) always nice too!
this was pretty much 100% spot on.
i remember back when wow vanilla launched and i got stuck being unable to get the reward for the zalazane quest in durotar after having killed him and a GM just completed it for me, giving me the exp and the item i desired from the quest - insiginificant as it was.
that is the one moment in all of wow's history that i will still remember vividly when i am on my deathbed some 40-50 years from now.
Come on, with how the world is going, you'll be on your deathbed within the year. Lok'tar, bud!
@@ConorChaos Wtf why that?
@@ConorChaos true dat :D
Aww I remember this happening tons of times to me. Back when the game was good and the GMs cared...
not "cared" but rather "existed"
@@Shotgunz999 lol ouch, but true.
I can't even imagine receiving this level of service in WoW today. What a shame...
I feel a tad emotional now 😭
You would have to wait 48h to receive de message suggesting to check wowhead xD
Cause its not needed.
The last time I remember being able to communicate with GM's in-game was during mop.
i remember back in wotlk i was struggling to get to 80 and a gm showed himself to me and even showed some armor sets like the dreadnaught tier 3 armor etc.
coolest shit i had ever seen as a 14 year old. can't remember why i made a ticket but it was cool that he was willing to show me armors and stuff
I was running a dungeon or raid back in original tbc, levelling first main character ever. We somehow got a glitch in a dungeon so GM came and ran the rest of the dungeon with us. Was awesome.
I once got trapped and by the time a GM got back to me my hour long HS cooldown was up and I just hearthed out.
"Bro, you okay? You hit your head pretty hard. ... Huh? Boosting? Cubicle crawling? Microtransactions? I don't know what you're talking about dude, but let's go do our Skyguard dailies and then find a Kara Pug before bed!"

I remember a GM coming to ironforge on a holiday. Might have been Christmas. He was just playing with a big crowd of people. Tossing them all up in the air and stuff. What fun blizzard used to be
I miss how personal the game was videos like this makes me always remember the good times in the game thank you Devilofnigh
I have literally not laughed at a joke like I did this one for years. A good 15 sec of nonstop laughing xD Coming from the GM makes it so much better
It was so nice to have a support in the game. During TBC I was hacked twice and all my items were sold, but GMs helped every time. Why did Blizzard closed support?
short term profit
Hello, I like money
So that Bobby Kotick could afford a third yacht.
Money > your problem
Because now they can't be bothered to offer support to their customers unless they can directly profit off of it
I loved this so much. I don't play wow anymore but I really liked how wholesome this was. That gm must've felt really good thinking he just helped a kid this much.
I remember these days, I had a crazy run in with the old underground creepy area under Kharazan. We had to glitch through the gate wall to get into it at the time and I figured out how to do it with a friend. Anyway, long story short, I was wandering around that place for almost 20 minutes. Ran across the underwater bodies and what not, then back up to the room with the center opening. All of a sudden an extreme huge skeleton mob came up from one of the mounds. Basically one shot me, laughed, said in chat "Blasted fleshling sneaking into my domain." -- Then disappeared. LMAO. I to this day have basically assumed it was a GM screwing with me, because it never happened again.
So wholesome. This made me smile, thank you!
This video made a little sad, really hit the feels man. Great job.
Man this hit me in the feels. Great memories! Glad I was around during that Era! :)
I remember I was pretty young either a pre-teen or young teen at the time. I'm an arachnophobe and I had a quest and no matter who I asked for help or how much I asked other players for help everyone brushed me off. A GM was according to them "Wandering around just checking things and people out"
They had noticed my character pacing back and forth infront of a spider area I had quests in and seen me messaging for quite awhile, and asked me if everything was alright. I told them about my arachnophobia and they told me to hang tight and wait there a minute. They then came back and made a whole show of me being their escort quest. And I acted the whole part even running back to my spot after combat which they got a good laugh out of. They helped me through my whole quest and even gave me a ride back to town and some gold for repairs, told me they didn't like spiders either so they fully understood. We chatted quite a lot and I told them about an old friend who I missed I made on the game, about his creepy friends but how sweet he was. How we'd sit around and have picnics in stormwind on the boats just chatting. And as I was young and that group was adults, I had to go. I had to cut off all contact, mom's orders, so I lost my friend.
About a month later I got a few mails on that same char from the GM and it was a dress gift wrapped and some bottles of alcohol telling me to meet them in goldshire, sent the same day.
I went to gold shire and they opened a trade window giving me cheese and bread and we had a whole picnic and even went fishing together. They told me they hoped I could meet that friend again, I never did but that simple gesture, them taking the time to do that meant the world to me. Its partially what helped me heal and move on from losing my friend.
I don't remember the GM's name, I wish I did so I could thank them properly as an adult. But if they happen to stumble on this video, if by any miracle they see all this. Thank you for everything you did. You are part of the reason world of warcraft was my escape through the abuse I was facing as a child and teen. Your small gesture gave me some hope that the world could still be kind to me. It was a huge gesture and even a sign as at the time I was religious. So it really helped me a lot to face what I was going through, so thank you. I wish you the best of health and luck. Please stay safe, I Platonically love you. You were my hero.
awesome!
sounds made up
That is really sweet. I'm glad a GM made your day better.
Ignore the bitter souls who are cynical and assume the worst in others. You keep doing you sweetheart.
All love and light sending your way
@@rayathewitch I was just chilling to music when I got the notif! Thank you for your blessings I'm shocked to see a fellow witch here A very welcome surprise
@@rayathewitch I also have to ask, is your profile pic what I think it is? Is that uh Genshin? Or am I wrong?
Oh man, I really wish to go back in time.
Playing World of Warcraft since 14 years means so much, all the great experiences and encounters I had in this time.
Surely, reallife kinda suffered a bit from it, but I dont regret spending the most of my teenage years in Azeroth.
Regarding the wasting my life part I like to think that I'd maybe spent that time doing something more destructive, so who knows, wow maybe saved us from doing bad decisions. 😋
Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time. We're all only on this earth for a short while, so we may as well do what we enjoy while we're here. If you enjoyed and look back fondly on your time in Azeroth, I think that's good enough.
When customer service was still a thing and companies cared about their people (just slightly) good old days
Man he is keeping our only GM hostage with his questions since 2007.
2021 customer service: "Your Overwatch account has been banned (for something you didn't do)"... call them... no answer. 5 tickets later... their actual response: "...even if we had someone to talk to you we wouldn't because our decision is final."
That must be the most funny and unbelievable service I ever watched in a game. The contrast with WoW nowadays is huge.
I remember getting stuck somewhere in Ban'ethil Hollow on Teldrassil back in the day. Actually having GM's show up to check on things was really cool.
Bruh this evoked some next level nostalgia I havent seen the GM ticket icon in over 10 years
This looked so enjoyable to watch. The conversation with the gm was epic
the only thing greater than the amazing interaction with this GM , is the utter betrayal of posting this to the internet, after promising not to tell anyone twice
I'm wotlk I sold some gear by accident, a GM gave it back to me! He appeared gave it back I said in raid chat COME BACK A GM he said ssshhhhh and traded me a cookie and disappeared!
We also had a GM in legion help us unstuck on boss before guldan as someone was stunned and the GM who helped us ended up joining us for the Guldan kill! Was pretty cool!
that's amazing
I remember my first ticket, the GM was so kindly, He desire me luck in the christmas lottery xd
This GM's math skills are bussin or whoever generated the question/answer. If 1/4 are green, 1/8 blue, 1/12 yellow, and the remaining 26 are white then you have to determine how many total balls there based on the fractions you are given. Mathematically the non white balls represent 45.83% (0.25+0.125+0.083), if you were to reverse formulate this problem you'd say (26/0.5417) which equals 47.999 (48). Which means the lowest possible number of small balls other than white is 22 balls, 48 total balls. There would be 12 green balls (48*0.25), 6 blue balls (48*0.125), and 4 yellow balls (48*.08). BAM!
@Guy Dude omfg that's perfect
I'm sorry, but why did you do it with decimals when it's much easier with common fractions?
@@StKozlovsky I'm personally a decimals guy. I started with fractions then went to decimals lol
@@StKozlovsky If you do it on paper by hand, fractions is easier. If you have simple calculator. decimals are easier.
>Gets stuck for 1 hour
>Gets unstuck
>Goes to play Halo 3 instead
This is something we've been rambling with my friends for years. Remembering how kind, and awesome the GMs were, working from within the game, those dudes were awesome. With the years, as it leaned more towards help desk common help, the GMs grew more and more careless, kindless, and overall they didn't give a fuck anymore. And mostly it wasn't their fault, I had a friend who worked as GM for years, and she complained constantly how the company kept removing access to things they could do in the past, and now they could do literally nothing but tell players to visit this "automated service" for their needs, even though it probably wouldn't solve their issues. She constantly complained about how much she wanted to help players who opened tickets asking for help, and how powerless she felt as she could not help them anymore. She eventually quit.
This video perfectly showcases the difference between then and now, loved it! Also the Halo 3 ending, hahaha.
I remember having a few pleasant conversations with GMs back in the day. It seems so wild that they used to do that.
I had a problem with my professions just a few weeks ago and it took support more than 6 days to respond... and that was on a pretty well populated server too.
2007 is literally the last time I remember talking with a GM
Wow, this is so wonderful! I want a universe where stuff like this happens all the time
My interactions with Games Masters when starting TBC back in the day will always make me smile. Was nothing quite like experiencing WoW for the first time as a young impressionable gamer ❤
The days when Blizz actually cared about it's players. Now it's only "you think you do, but you don't".
I remember when blizz customer support was that good. It's sad to see how bad it is now :(
This GM is awesome! All GM's should be like this, with good sense of humor and interactions 😆
Thanks for the video, Aza!
Dude... This happened to me back in 2007. Opening a ticket and talking to a GM was an awesome, so much grateful experience than what they have today. GMs were so much blizzard. Current Ticket Support is just, well... Activision.
Ohh this brings back so many nostalgic memories! I remeber one time, I don't know why, but I had some kind of issue and opened a ticket. My characters name was Bigmama, and I swear to god, this GM wrote hahaha in every single sentence beacuse of the name, he was just the coolest GM! Damn, I miss those days...
This is the best thing i can see ant 5am thanks for this upload. :))
I lost it when they asked what your math question was.
Azamous hype!
Man i felt so nostalgic when u asked for a joke!!
Maan the good old times.. I also had a great experience with former GM's they were always super helpfull and kind. It was a great game.
Good times, good people... One day, we were with a group to run Scarlet Monestary, and as we were hyping ourselves up, a GM sent a message in our group saying Good Luck. We were freaking out and so happy, we got to chat with him for a minute before he left for another ticket. One of the best WoW memory i have.
This was what players were looking for in TBC classic, but instead they found themself buying boosts so the leveling experience can be entirely skipped, grinding reps in dungeons over and over, rofl stomped by multi rank 1 players in arenas.
The game was just more enjoyable when everyone was a noob.
Your secret is safe with me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was a GM on private server, and this sort of interaction was exactly what motivated me.
This is when Blizzard was Blizzard. Love the vid
What a nice guy!
I remember back in Vanilla on Server Aerie Peak, about 5 days a week there was always a GM that stayed just in Elwynn Forest. He would be around to help whenever someone had a question or trouble with something but mostly he just stayed in Goldshire and had fun with everyone. There was also a GM in Westfall who I know of 3 people they helped with a certain thing, it was if a solo that was having a hard time doing the murloc or gnoll quests, he would go in and "thin the herd" a little bit to help. It use to be so much fun you didn't want to level and move on to new zones because of stuff like the GM's doing a fightclub in goldshire or footraces around redridge. But FF14 has been awesome the last month. Not quite the magic of OG WoW but it is pretty damn good. Lightyears ahead of current WoW. It was hard to say goodbye to all my old characters and Classic/TBCC characters, but an MMO is no fun if there is hardly anyone to have fun with.
I love with ff14 that if you truly have a problem you can call their service desk
Wholesome, heart-warming, GM-praising, spine-tingling gemerald.
Looks like he never down for raid lol
Great video!!
This is so wholesome
its sad but true , they got rid of Gm's now days and replaced by their stupid automatic support
they killed the verry social aspect of the game
back then GMs would morph your raid to merlocs to enterain while waiting for them to fix a bugged encounter
The first time you have seen a GM ingame... None could ever forget this day.
