Hi all - thanks for watching and being part of the channel and it's growth since Classic has launched. been an amazing journey!
If you did want to support the channel in another way I have opened a Patreon, check there for more info - www.patreon.com/WillE_YT
Let's head strong into TBC!
Cheers,
Will
Its been so long i actually believed his IRL face was the nightelf profile picture,and anytime hes actually speaking,i feel like its dubbed over rather than his actual voice,oof
Thanks alot WillE for your year + of content concerning WoW Classic. Your research is good, your delivery even better. I've been posting your vids on my guild's discord, along with an Irish guildie who's also a fan. We use your content to keep ourselves up-to-date, and to hear an unbiased opinion on controversial issues (such as spell-batching and Melee Leeway). Keep up the good work, and see you in Outland!
Much love from , Dreadmist EU!
Yeah thanks willie for the 10min advert riddled videos which contain information we all knew and all have access to
@@lon3pk3r my man langman back at it again
What server did you Twink on in Vanilla ?
Thank you for all your Classic videos over the last 2 years Wille really enjoyed them and looking forward to the TBC content 👏🙌
100% agreed. These vids have helped me enjoy classic so much more. Even though I couldn't play as much as I wanted to, these vids always helped me feel connected to classic in some way.
Thirded
WillE has a very balance view of things and he puts things in a good perspective.
@WillE has the best WoW Classic videos. Nobody else comes close to the thought put into each topic, consistent and reasoned point of view, and they are entertaining to boot. Bravo!
On a related note, how do I get RUclips to permaban any Asmongold video link ever showing up on the recommendations?! That guy is the worst.
Thanks so much - Classic has really held up the test of time!
Willie! Thank you so much for being a community leader. I feel like Blizz actually listens to you, to some extent and you listen to us. Thank you for making my Classic experience that much better.
Thanks for watching - even if it's a small chance, hopefully I can say some stuff occasionally which is taken onboard. Be the change you want to see and all that stuff.
I cannot wait for Blizzcon to Bait and switch TBC with WoW: Immortal
Don't you guys have phones?
TBC announced yay
Do you guys not have PCs??
Honestly I wouldnt even be mad if they announced a full on wow client for mobile devices, a lot of smart phones are definitely powerful enough at this point
@@josephrobinette8609 just what we need, people raiding while driving down the road. And you know that would happen
Thanks for everything you have done over the last two years! I just started WoW when classic came out, and you really helped me keep up to date with everything going on. Keep it coming, and I will keep watching :)!
It might be an old game, but it's not failed to give us new forms of content!
He plays a gnome yet he has a beard glorious enough to be a dwarf... I raise my stein in salute to you good sir.
" BRILLIANT!"
Gnomes can have beards too
Gnomes have pretty great beards
Dwarves cant be warlocks
Yeah he looks more like his paladin than his warlock XD
Thank you for all the content during classic, my entire guild has started watching your channel and we cant wait for TBC to roll out, and your content along with it
Cheers to all!
Damn dude, that moment when you feel nostalgic about the re-release of classic wow
Lmao I know right. Already
Hahahaha so true
WillE, from watching your channel when it started with speculative Classic feature videos to here... what a long, strange trip it’s been.
Thanks for all of the entertainment, I greatly appreciate it.
Classic launch day one will always be one of the best moments of all time in gaming for me
I always become surprised to see WillE's irl and realize he's not a bald gnome irl :|
Im not convinced. He could be a paid actor with awesome lip-sync skills.
he's a biiig gnome.
He’s a hairy dwarf
Well I think it’s Photoshop!
Yo, because of you WillE I started to play on Pyrewood Village and gotta say the PVE community is so wholesome.
Great video man.
Classic launch was truly a unique time, I do wish I could go back and do it all again since I didn't have alot of time to play when it launched. Gonna miss the hell out of Classic that's for sure
I kinda hope WoW classic follows Oldschool Runescape's example and carves its own path.
Maybe do TBC, maybe WotLK, but then make entirely new content we've never seen before that's more fitting with the Classic style, *including maintaining Classic's art style* . Similar to OSRS, i like the oldschool art style and wan it to be maintained. I love that Runescape 3 and WoW Modern have improved their art style, but i dont want to see OSRS or WoW Classic do that. That would kinda defeat the purpose.
I'd have also said no flying in Classic but TBC and WotLK without flying would be awful, so if they do continue and re-release old DLC they'll have to add flying.
I agree 100%
Good Video. I am wachting your Channel for a while now. I am native German speaking Person. Your Voice and Words are very clear and i can understand them quite good. I whish you the Best for the Future.
Thats the most German Prais i could think of XD XD XD
You are my ginger twin. Thanks for all the great content. Looking forward to TBC!
Your classic content has been as much a part of my classic experience as the game itself! Thank you so much!
Nothing can compare to playing wow when you were a kid. Even though you suced, you enjoyed the f*** out of it.
it's because of things being mysterious, everything is as big as you can imagine.
like they say, ignorance is a bliss.
good MMO's should be able to make the world more immersive and more real than it actually is, I feel like MMO's could be way more immersive if they focused on immersion, but the developers only focus on making new content instead of trying to make the already existing world and evolving it to be content in itself.
Yeah now all these adults think they're going to get the same fulfillment they had by prepping a whole year before TBC comes out to burn through it in 24hours.
@@Ar1AnX1x People are just using Classic WoW as a gateway to reliving childhood fantasies. There's only so much we can admire in awe and mystery before the novelty fades. "Things being mysterious" and "make the already existing world and evolving it to be content" are inherently contradicting, since you won't be having any mystery if you don't want "developers only focus on making new content", which is made worse when all new info are always readily available on datamining websites. And every time Blizzard 'reused old content', see Uldum and Vale in BfA, people whine about Blizzard being lazy. When they updated old zones and added new ones too, see Cataclsym, people whined about how it took away their old favorite zones, and that took up a sheer amount of development time.
When I was a teenager I had all the time in the world and I logged on every single day with my guildies and had the best time! I remember it fondly. Since Classic came out I've turned 30, bought a house, worked throughout lockdowns, generally just been busy. It's part of growing older but I feel totally left out this time around; I've got a priest at 42 and a druid at 32, managed to play a bit through launch but not the same! I've been really glad to have RUclips and Twitch to feel like part of the community and enjoy the atmosphere of what has been an incredible 18 months. Thanks for everything you've done WillE!
Cool story bro.
My story is almost exactly the same as yours
lots of excuses for being bad in the game
@@BPFACTS88 Who said I was bad at the game?
@@NattMoore 42 and 32? those are achievable in a day max lol
Thank you for making videos for us throughout classic Willie. You have really been the ''Classic newsletter'' this time around and I haven't missed a signle episode^^
//Marilix - Pyrewood Village
I watched all of your classic videos WillE. I love your content and your perspective. Thanks.
Your classic content has been the best of its kind on RUclips. So glad blizzard rereleased WoW as it once was. It's been an absolute treat playing it again. Best game ever made, no question.
Great video WillE! I've been playing Classic since day 1 of the launch and it's been a wild ride, especially on a PvP megaserver (Whitemane). I came back for the nostalgia, but I'm glad I stayed for the phat loot and all the friends I've made along the way. Being able to work from home for almost a year due to the pandemic has definitely allowed me to progress both of my characters way beyond what I had expected. Hopefully TBC Classic will be as fun, or even better!
The griefing meta in this game is hilarious and interesting to explore further. On our server (Firemaw) we have griefing guilds that put in secret service grade efforts to not letting people have their buffs. I'm talking spreadsheets, daily intel sharing, opposite faction accounts, espionage, using bitcoin to buy hack accounts to get into alliance MC spots in org. All day, all night, every week. It is a fascinating display of virginity and autism energy being misdirected in a late-stage capitalist world.
Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world,
where none suffered? Where everyone would be happy? It was a disaster.
No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed
we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I
believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through
misery and suffering. -Quote Matrix.
so someone is paying monthly to just grief and take it is as a job to make spreadsheet and shit? lol
Damn, that's almost as autistic as the EVE online spreadsheet simulator
That's why I left Gehennas, the griefing was so severe, massive PVP servers are not enjoyable if you are not in a TOP guild anymore.
firemaw is easily the best server in eu i played there from start till now and it was awesome most of the times.
Great job with the videos WillE, I have really enjoyed them throughout.
Hey WillE, really appreciate your videos over the last two years. Thank you! And hope to see you in continue with TBC.
Let's be honest 15 years of this game and we are playing it ,I still love and will play classic forever .Super hyped for TBC
Do we know whats happening to classic after tbc classic? (Havent watched full vid yet if its in there)
Will you still be playing classic when tbc is out?
@@EviIM0nk3y hell yeah! I'm streaming classic and tbc for sure
@@christianthomas5778 it will be less played for sure since most ppl are done with gearing their char in classic
tried it, couldnt make it past level 10. Got very very bored very quickly. Will not recommend
I am from china and ur videos became one of the best way to practice my english listening, i like your slow paste gentle voice. keep up good work!
Thank you WIllie, amazing content as always. Looking forward to what's next too!
Great video, excellent beard. You really summed up the pros/cons of Classic WoW as best as any could, well done.
I reeeeeally love your videos WillE ! Looking so much forward for more content in TBC for sure!
Thanks for the vids WIllE. Been watching since you and I started playing Classic WoW.
Love your work mate! Really looking forward to your TBC vids!
it was the BEST time of my life. (and ive done vanilla + 5y on private servers)
Did you actually have to reset your character every few years in p-servers?
@@aquacomplex513 depends but yes
@@aquacomplex513 Yeh, if the TBC classic wouldnt be ready, i could easily do another re-run of classic.
@@PeTe_FIN Damn I just can’t see myself doing that lol. I played from Vanilla through MoP, stopped right before WoD.
I played classic and had a complete blast the whole way through (played a Ret pally with Hand of Rag, which I was insanely lucky to have gotten early on) and cleared all the raids, ranked to R13 and have all the non-meme Reps maxed out and I have had enough now. I quit just a few weeks ago and I’m waiting for TBC. Had a blast but I’ve seen the raids, dungeons and pvp enough that I won’t ever need to go back again until I die lol... or until they make a classic+ with a ton of changes and new content ;)
Thanks for all the content Wille, really hoping to see you on TBC
Ayo for real that was dope run.
Was it?
@@Rivexd I didn't play Vanilla, but I loved Classic for about half a year.
And then I happily left with no interest in going back.
I stumbled upon your channel while hanging out on a glorious day off from work and leveling up a hunter. And I'm glad I did. Loved the video. Looking forward to checking out the rest of your content. Keep it up!
I haven't played since phase 3 but I still enjoy using your videos to catch up on everything...you have a great take on pros and cons
Nice work mate, ive enjoyed your vids since release. Keep it up and congrats on going full time.
I will forever love this game I was only 6 years old when I began to play.
I would just like to say thank you for all the videos you put out in continually put out I always look forward to you.
And I look forward to the next video
Hey WillE thanks for all the Classic Videos, loved them all! Hope to see more content when tbc drops ;) cheers Transcendence
Willie your content is simply the best, thanks for keep making these videos! I myself cant wait for TBC so I can finally spec elemental on my shaman for PvE
This is what i call a down to earth review, well done WillE ;)
Great video Willie, love your videos, great to see a good old englishman pumping out wow content!
Thanks WillE for your videos about classic! Although classic is a bit too slow-paced for me, your videos have draw a beautiful panorama with vivid details about classic experience that maybe retail players like me hardly have that much patience to explore. Good work!
Thanks for your videos dude :D i really enjoy them every time :D and the "Wille here!" is in it self a meme and something i look forward to. But, dude, your voice and your face :O quite the shock rly ^^ always pictured you a little bit like the spiffing brit meme, you should get a monocle :-D
Fun to watch your videos, love the review! For the longest time I did not know that you played on Pyrewood Village, sadly playing horde in "Avalanche" there though :P Will give a /wave if I see you in-game.
Thanks for the great videos! You definitely became an integral part of the classic community during the duration of this game and I expect that to continue into TBC :)
Man, have been watching all your Classic videos. And guess why? Quality content and your voice! Ah, magic voice and timbre. And now first time I saw your face, nice beard =D Keep doing awesome videos, thank you!
I leveld up a paladin and wanted to play a retribution in end game content, fully aware that it wasn't optimal. But when NO guild what so ever would have me I ended up quiting vanilla renewal, and glad I did.. the midmaxing and world buff obsession would have driven me away sooner or later any way.
And I've been playing WoW since day 1 EU back in 2004. Damn I feel old, sigh.
"Not even balanced" was how I came to understand Classic in the end.
Thanks for all the videos, looking forward to your coverage of TBC :)
Thank you for your hard work and quality content. Best channel for Classic imo :)
As for the game: started with a bang. The ending picture was a bit sad though (meta, RTM, state of pvp). I got to farm C'thun this time at least. My only regret was not being able to do Naxx.
best thing to come out classic imo was you mate. when i compare your videos to others in the space you can clearly see a huge gap in the fact you are willing to say when you dont know something and that you actually put some thorough research into anything youre trying to bring to light. alwyas know im gonna get an informed and honest video from you.
keep up the good work.
Really good video man. Helped reflect positively on this whole journey
“That one guy always standing there” - yes, it’s you Moradin
Launchday and leveling in Durotar was the best for me :D
Willie you the man bro seem like a chill guy hope to play with ya in TBC... and look forward to that content.
Always watch your video's, mainly to see if i can spot your head pop outs. Always informative and honest about the state of classic. I haven't played since may 2020. which is ironically after i got HWL, I did it solo mainly and without consumables. I guess i hit that burn out. And with the batching being possible thrown out would make me play on and off. I will be playing TBC though, One of my favorite expansions.
Thanks Willie, good video, also good videos. In my mind, as a casual ph1-5 player, classic was everything i wanted it to be. Bots and progression might be the two biggest issues in the game. But, when all is said and done, it was an awesome journey for both me and my wife.
It’s crazy to think about how long I’ve watched your videos for since you randomly popped up on my recommenced... I don’t even play classic anymore and quit due to burnout as AQ dropped. Anyways, thanks for all the great content! 🙏🏻
I've really enjoyed your videos over the last few months, so thank you very much. I started Classic when it launched but then drifted away. I came back, like so many others, during UK lockdown last March and got heavily into PVP, ranking to rank 13. The latest (and continuing) lockdown has been filled by raiding Naxx. The one thing I will take away from this experience is the friends I've made along the way. What I'll remember when I look back on these times is the screams of joy on discord when our premade beat another premade by the narrowest of margins in WSG. Or the wild celebrations when our guild downed KT. All the other stuff is just incidental noise and will fade away into nothingness.
great video, cheers bud
classic
I stopped playing phase 5 after AQ launched. I still watch videos about WoW and have very fond memories of both vanilla/TBC and now classic but I got bored of raiding. Was a nostalgia trip to replay the game again and relearn it. Thanks for the vids WillE here this is the community I missed
Nice review. Dont play WoW but i still luv keeping up with what you guys are up to.
Can't wait for TBC content from you WillE!
I still don't have a 60. Highest I got was 42 on a pvp server before phase 2 hit
I want to give tbc a good shot so trying to give classic another shot actually feels like my experience back in the day. I first started right before tbc back in the day and it sure is a lot easier to get gold. A lot harder to find legit dungeons though
I'm enjoying classic now more than I did at release. I think restarting on a horde pve server was what I needed.
Lol funnily enough I just did the same thing, it seems much more chilled out now than when it came out and I'm having a great chilled time ^^
What server are you guys on? Thinkin of starting over
@@BraxtonSharkboy I'm on Mankrik
I don't even play Classic (never had the rose tinted glasses but I also started mid 2005) but binge your classic videos due to sheer quality. Top notch content, and I eagerly gnome hunt at the start on video release. My favorite so far was the parachute
Wow, the official Review. Thanks for the content thus far WillE
Thanks for sharing this video, let’s get ready for TBC!
I have to say I really appreciate the take on patreon. Wanting to still keep all content available for all and getting patroen for people to be - patrons.
I’ve quit and came back throughout classic but I’ve always loved your videos comin into my feed weekly, thanks for all you did for the community man the future of mmo’s are looking good !
Yay Face reveal! thank you for always bringing alive words i wouldn't have put so better myself. Been a fun ride and hope to see you as well during tbc.
Amen brotha Classic was such an amazing ride so stoked to have enjoyed the ups and downs all over again and some for the first time. Had so many moments I won't forget any time soon.
The sendoff gave me chillz!!!! - you even made me hit my table by saying, once TBC is announced - so will lichking!!!!!
Amazing effort here!
I was one of the ones who signed the petition for a return of Classic/Vanilla WoW. For me, it's Classic forever.
Back in the day, I played every WoW expansion but the last one. For me, nothing beats the original game. I won't be playing TBC Classic.
One can make the case that even with that first expansion, Blizzard began to go down the wrong path. It got worse with Wrath (although the lore was amazing), and then everything went to hell with Cata.
I love Classic, but for those of you going on to TBC and later WotLK, I wish you well.
I'm only lvl 38 so far but I feel this is the authentic mmorpg experience that I've been missing.
thanks you for your Content about WoW Classic!
You're by far the best warcraft youtuber, retail or otherwise. Also one of the few who does not have an annoying voice. Your voice is like calming coconut butter in my ear-canal.
.. Ok that was weird but you get my point
I'm super hyped for Darrowshire classic fresh!
It's magnificent giving me major nostalrius vibes.
Thank you so much for your videos ❤️
Good review. Makes me extra glad I started playing TBCC
thanks man i honestly started in november and knew nothing about the game picked mage soloing the game best i could with help from many people like yourself, thank you greatly increased my satisfaction from classic probz wont play tbc half as hard as i went for classic - with arenas seems the skill gap will jus get worse from here out. Ended up getting rank 14 in phase 3 or 4 roundabouts, still massive noob in terms of parsing lol don't run hit cap or anything xd (didnt get nef tear :P) so gave up bwl near enough and even quit my guild over it lol last week we killed KT in naxx with my new guild, thanks so much for your dedication to your viewerbase
Great video!!
Hey Wille your one of the few guys i actually enjoy watching. And while i agree with you on many things i think you confused some things about classic and TBC. Karazhan and caverns of time were gonna be planed for the game before TBC was even announced they were just added to the TBC expo afterwards, Karazhan was gonna be the next 40 man raid and who knows what the caverens of time was gonna do as is was more of a idea then concept point. In retail you were able to explore the Beginning stages of 40 man Kharazan in later expansions. The basement of Kharazan is a Huge place that one could explore this was all gonna be part of 40 man kharazan which later got scraped for 10 man kharazan. Which i got major issues with just repeating the mistakes.
I agree TBC addressed many issues that classic has and does now but also creates new problems that where never fixed and later on long after i quit the game blizzard fix was all classes were basically the same.
Why many people love vanila was because each class was different. Different strengths and weakness.
TBC changed this. Issue one with TBC is Hybrid classes are way to powerful. There are rare exceptions but TBC is the expo of the hybrid classes.
Issue 2 with tbc is 10/25 man raids is a HORRIBLE idea execution. 10 does not got into 25 as a whole number. 20/40 does. This never changed either it was either 10/25 afterwards. This was never a good idea just people accepted it like they accepted the Horrible PVP system in classic and other stuff we have just accepted.
Issue 3. Gear is less meaningful long term. TBC starts this and when you realize the patch history of TBC with them haveing to BUFF all of the kharazan gear to be relevant still you see why this becomes a huge problem later on. You create a Flavor of the month type thing which leads to lot of DEAD content.
Issue 4. Removeing class/faction only. Creates a High demand of the new class and less availability of current classes. This was TBC unless you had lots of shamans and pallys your were not gonna see a easy time in raiding and this is just the truth pure facts. This gets Ironed out in Wrath yes but why do we need to visit this painful expernice again.
Issue 5. You never played private servers as you said. Many private servers who were still true to mostly no changes acually changed many things. In private servers content was more difficult to keep the balance. IN vanilla private Naxx is around the same difficulty as Classic maybe a bit more but all the other raids in private were much more difficult to balance out the patch issue. IN TBC We need changes or Blizzard can kiss their new money maker good bye long term cause no one is gonna play after wrath hype.
over all issue if blizzard wants the warcraft title to continue they need to reexamine why Vanila and TBC were so popular and remain so. I personally believe it the FORCED community.
So blizzard going foward should do some of the following or atleast one. Create classic+ Create TBC+ Create WOW2 Create a different timeline that is not for casual players. REwork how the world works to be more Community orientated and i already got ideas how that could work.
best WillE video yet
Kinda wouldn’t mind a vanilla reset in addition to tbc
I think they would need to do something special to make people play vanilla straight away again. People that have played these past 2 years are probably burnt out
this time #withchanges
@@TheGargalon #somechanges
1: Give paladins both seals
2: Gold Squish (bring people down to 1k) at least i wont lose any sleep losing my 7k. Would be good if they also banned bots for once...
3: Faction queue/Faction balance
4: Dual Talent. This might seem controversial, but it is very popular on Pservers. you can ofc only change specs in a major city. Usually they make you pay like 1k gold to unlock the option. instead of paying 50g everytime you want to tank/heal/dps a dungeon respeccing
^ These are the changes i would want for TBC.
Honestly, some changes would be required. But also, I think a lot of people would take it in a more “chill” tone and not speed run the whole thing tbc is out as well.
It had changes before launch, stop saying it had no changes
best classic videos on youtube bar none
There was this guy on my server named Typhoon (Typhon in french) linking the weapon [Typhoon] several times a day on the world channel. Never saw his face but I liked the dude somehow. He was part of the server lore.
"What do you mean the resolution is nostalgic?" LOL. Today, I love your flybys when doing guides.
Legit best classic channel
Gotta write the comment for the algorythm lol, also use the community tab very frequently, it can boost your ratings if you make lots of polls with it
Hey man I have been watching all your videos sense the release of classic wow and just want to thank you for this top tier entertainment!
I love the fact that WoW is still going strong.
I hope they keep multiple servers open for many different servers.
I personally would love to see Cata & Mop again. My personal favs.
18:11 that is where 98% of fighting in AV takes place.
I stopped mid-Cata (Firelands), and came back for Classic - but stopped before Naxx, as I didn't want to dedicate THAT much time to scheduled weekly raiding and 1,5 hours of queuing for Alterac Valley (although I have tons of fond memories from AV!!!).
Now, after COVID restrictions were extended in my country, I resubbed to try retail, and I'm having a blast leveling alts, exploring post-2012 dungeons and raids, and collecting transmog sets. Can safely say that Classic was a success for me, even though my friends (who planned to play with me) bailed out after the first month :P
Feels good to relive so many memories from 2007-12 :)
Wille looks big af, is he a strongman on his spare time?
What I cant understand is why boosting is so overwhelming now in classic. I assumed people playing classic would enjoy the leveling experience, but I've learned most people seem to prefer the end game grind. But I really enjoyed getting another chance to experience classic even if it was a very different experience than the first time around.
Alot of people get tired of questing after like 4+ grinds to 60 so they boost
