    God dammit.
    This game. This expansion in particular. It got me through some shit times. I would happily spend hours on WoW, in between working at the local store. Life was straightforward and simple, yet kind of directionless. My dad would question when I was going to get out and 'start life' but I kept up the mantra "time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time".
    See, what people don't understand is that WoW becomes a home. It's music, charm and landscapes are like a warm, reassuring blanket. Here in WoW, you fit in. You have direction through quests and raids, and a team of awesome pals to join you.
    I wasn't isolated - I had IRL friends, but WoW was my little holiday home. My retreat from stress. I'll always remember looking up from the game one night as my dad chatted casually to me - just to engage with me I think. He scooped up a book I was reading, and put it down on the side of my desk in a slightly balanced/awkward way, and went to bed.
    I got up the next morning to find he never woke up. He was gone. I watched his body being carried away by paramedics.
    I reflected on my time spent in this game as a safety net, and quietly vowed to move on and up in the real world. I looked back at the book he put down and realised how much the world had suddenly changed overnight for the worst. How fragile it all was.
    Now I have a career, my own place, a wife and a child on the way. But I occasionally dip back into this game and see how my characters are doing...see how the world has changed, maybe do a few quests and dungeons and re-live some memories of a time just before my family was torn apart all those years back.
    The Grizzly Hills and it's music encompasses so many mixed emotions that WoW helped me get through, but also how it allowed me to realise it was time to move on. It was a bittersweet conclusion, but I don't regret playing. I just wish I could relive that peaceful moment I first got lost in the Grizzly Hills. Not a care in the world. If only my dad could see me now.

      I lost my best friend right at the end of WOTLK. This was her favorite music. Very sudden. She had a teenage daughter. My dad died about 4 months later. Pretty much sucked all the way around. However,there was comfort in time. For me I looked at the true source of the comfort. Not the means of delivery.

    When my dad passed away in 2011, I started to play WoW with a friend. This song was one of the most amazing healing things to me in the game. And some Kate nights after my friend would leave after we played. I'd find myself wandering listening to grizzly hills music just hunting any misc npc with out a quest... Just to listen to this and staying in that moment the grizzly hills had to offer me as I mourned my father alone with my computer and my little toon experiencing a new world away from my current one. This song still makes me cry all this time later.

    When I started playing World of Warcraft with my boyfriend five years ago I loved the music, but when I made it to Grizzly Hills this song ruined me.
    I knew right away if and when I get married I wanted to walk down the aisle to it.
    In three weeks I will be walking down the aisle toward my best friend, that same boyfriend, with this very song playing (the first 2 minutes). It is what I am looking forward to the most about the whole day. It will also be the nerdiest thing I have ever done, and I've done some rather nerdy things.

    Reading all these comments made me realize that I never properly mourned WoW.
    So now I sit here a 29 yr old man crying. I know it sounds silly but this game was such a huge part of my life for 7 years. I quit playing a year ago and I still find myself thinking about it. I have a child and am married now but nothing fills that WoW void.
    The sense of adventure, friendship, fun, collaboration, community, freedom, and exploring.
    I'll never forget this god dam game. This song has helped me mourn WoW and the sense of freedom and adventure I lost since I've stopped playing.
    Nothing will ever compare to Pre-Cata WoW.
    R.I.P Gordondon, Nayko, Moses, Nuno, Apache,SittingBull, Boobs, and all my twinks (esp my wotlk 69 dk blood twink).

      @Efreeti 9 лет назад +4

      ***** Way to make assumptions there, buddy. I'm from Bergen, SMACK DAB in the west coast of Norway. I know exactly what Norwegian fjords look like. Almost all of Howling Fjord are canyons with lots of sheer drop cliffs at the coast with beaches underneath. That's just not how glacier fjords are formed, and not how Norway looks. Those sheer cliffs are only there when the canyon is formed by a river slowly eroding the sedimented rock, like how the Grand Canyon was formed. Also, all the trees there are scattered and weird, not forming anything that could remotely be called forests at all, and the colour and placement of the grass does not seem natural. Whenever I go to Howling Fjord it feels foreign to me, like a fantasy landscape would. The complete opposite is true for Grizzly Hills.

    The thing that made me love this music was when I was doing a quest "The Cleansing", where you had to go to the peak of a mountain and "Cleanse" yourself from your Inner Turmoil (A crappy Staff-wielding version of yourself).
    When you defeat him, you actually get a Slow Fall buff, because your Soul has Lightened (Don't ask me, it's gaming logic!).
    I used this 3 Minute buff to glide to Grizzly Hills, and this music combined made it the most majestic and beautiful moment I ever had in this game.

I know it sounds stupid, but finally I went to Amberpine lodge, saw that amazing landscape, the river, the bears, dressing my original night elf clothes, and listening this beautiful music, closed the game, delete my hunter....

    this song makes me think of sitting by a fire pit over looking a valley of pine trees, with a bright blue river twisting through seemingly every tree. The sun sets a dark redish orange over the snow capped mountains, as I pet my hound on his head, snuggle even closer to him underneath our red lumberjack blanket, and take another sip of my hot joe I realize nothing is better than experiencing what life has to offer, even when sometimes you feel sad, fuck that because what's the point?... that's good enough for me to persevere, don't cry because it ended, smile because it happened.

    this track is so beautiful, and has such emotion behind it. The opening fiddle melody presents this zone as it is, untouched by the death and cruelty of the Lich King. Then out of the silence comes the flute with a soft, pained melody reminding us of the pain the rest of the world is suffering. But in the end the fiddle comes back in almost reassuring us that good will win out in the end, and at least we can take comfort in this one place that stands as a reminder that the Lich Kings power is not all-consuming. Such a poignant piece of video game music

Shifting my weighted sword upon my back and breathing in the cold, dry air. Watching this land full of life, and wonder.. So much to see, and explore. I can't describe the joy that was within my heart to know that I was to be part of this movement. To be there when it happened. To find myself he who brought the world another level 80.

    Feels amazing blizzard used nyckelharpa as the main instrument of this zone's music. The choice is so right as it has a long history as the most used instrument of swedish folk music. You can easily hear it's a nyckelharpa by the small "tick" sound it makes every time the nycklar (wooden buttons) is pushed against the string.

    When I reached max level in WotLK I spent my days in Grizzly Hills finding alliance to world PvP. Just this one zone. And I chose it of course, for the music. Really I just wanted to be in that zone forever, for any reason. One of the all time best pieces of game music IMO.

With that being said listening to this music while traversing one of the most beautiful landscapes in gaming could almost bring tears to my eyes. I would often stop killing some ridiculous monster and just sit on my gryphon in the sky so that no sound would interrupt this music.

    Where have those ten years gone... It feels like a lifetime away now. It was a different game back then, not as rounded and comfortable for the player as it is today. It wasn't about quick and easy gratification, but doing something as a group, succeeding as a group. Yes the heroics were way easier than in TBC and at the end, we got the LFG tool, but it was still a time where the group succeeds and the lone ones only saw a part of the whole experience...
    Damn, I miss those times. Not just because of what the game was back then, but the people whom I had the pleasure to play with at that time. We thought things would stay like this forever, but ten years later we all have moved on and the time spent in this game and in zones like Grizzly Hills is little more than a fond memory of adventures with friends...

    This game. This beautiful, amazing game. I haven't played in atleast 4 years now, but I miss it. Do it plan on going back? I don't think so. That part of my life is over. I miss every little detail about this game and the community. I was judged endlessly on how I would spend hours every day in a video game, but what people don't understand is that, this was more than a game, it was a second life, of sorts.
    First day of winter vacation from school; snowy friday afternoon, got home from school, throw my book bag on the bed, kick my shoes off and turn on the PC. As it loads, i head towards the kitchen to grab a snack and a drink, normally some chips and a coke. Come back and launch WoW right away. The login screen pops up and an ice dragon swoops in, the background music plays loud and mighty. I get to the character selection screen and hop on my main, lvl 79 Ret Pally. Guildmates immediately say hi and start chatting it up about how you're gona play all weekend and all vacation. The dungeons you guys will run and the group quests you'll need help with, because at this point in the game, you couldn't solo them. I'm anxious and excited to finally hit that lvl 80 cap, questing away, trying to reach it, and BAM, I GET IT!! Guild congratulates me right away! With the good old "⭐⭐ Congrats!!⭐⭐" in chat.
    While at the same time you type in "DING!" on the general /1 chat. And a plethora of strangers congratulate you, and a few troll whispers. But all in good fun. Too happy to care about anything else besides finally hitting, and then.. and then THAT'S when the game really started.
    Life was good.

      Gotta say that Pandaren sure were unexpected though! When it was leaked MoP was coming no one believed it. Pretty crazy up to this day^^
      Again: MoP was pretty cool, not my favorite expansion (It might be yours, which is totally fine) but the pause in the end definetly made it leave a sour taste in my mouth.

    Grizzly Hills, Thunder Bluff, & Storm Peaks. My 3 favorite places to go just to listen to the music.
    Sit. Do nothing (other than jump to avoid AFK). Listen. Ahhh...

    Grizzly Hills taught me a valuable life lesson: Never eat the free acorns.

    Still listen to this regularly. A fine piece of music which generates so many memeories when that violin begins.

    Goddamn was this an amazing place. An amazing game. I remember getting into it through my brother. Getting the free trial at 9, then on my tenth Christmas, my parents got me this game. I was so happy. I joined up, rolled my Nelf hunter, and went into the world. God was it amazing, the first time seeing everything, experiencing Stormwind the first time, with it's powerful music. Or the calm, peace of Teldrassil. Of the simple, small time troubles of Westfall. World of Warcraft really came alive for me. My brother, both my cousins, and many of my brother's friends played. I remember always trying to catch up to them. I discovered Grizzly Hills when I was level 24, and decided I wanted to go reach my brother and his party, which was busy in Icecrown. When I entered this zone, I stopped and was taken away by the music. My brother was the first to leave. One day, he just quit and never looked back. But I remained. Then my first cousin left, and the world seemed to get a little smaller, a little lonelier. Yet I played. My other cousin was off and on through the years. I finally left after three years, came back two years later and rolled a Pally. A couple months ago, my other cousin passed away. My first friend on WoW and one of my closest friends is gone, she no longer plays. Nor do any of the others. I'm alone, the last of my band. Yet, whenever I hear this music... it's like I'm a young, dumb ol 10 year old lvl 24 hunter, chasing after his brother, overwhelmed by the world. 9 Years I have played. How things have changed, some for better, some for worse. But, the music of this game... some of the best memories lie within this music.

    I remember the good old times, when I was a 12 y/o pleb just wandering around Grizzly Hills enjoying the vibe without a single care in the world. What the fuck happened ;;)

      fortew3 which is not! continue playing WoW, but in moderation, and you will never say: what the fuck happened, because you will always be a part of it, you don't have to quit, EVER, just don't let it control your life.

    I was born in Minnesota, and raised in Wisconsin surrounded by the deciduous plant life that grows there. This tune reminds me of home and how beautiful it was every time i hear it, it actually makes me tear up.

    Grizzly Hills has been, by far, my favorite zone in all the years I had played WoW.
    I loved wandering through the woods just because they reminded me of the time I had spent in Redwood National Forest. And the music is absolutely beautiful to boot!
