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.
i dont wanna grow up, im right in THOSE days, no friends, no work, no worries, still young, and i feel like im about to be an old guy, trying to escape the inevitable, i really dont want to

+Rouvenor for me is even more . i had good eye sight back then. now because of a rare neurological condition i lost my ability to play games....... and i was a gamer at heart. i will never be able to go back to wow
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.
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). R.I.P Ohana, I'll never forget those guild Kara runs.... Rest Easy...

Dont think aaah these private servers are not for me, just try it once man. Its honestly amazing im level 57 right now:)
I hear you. The Dun Morogh music makes me cry, every single time. All of those hours, all of the people I met. I would talk to them some days more than my own friends and family. Don't holdthe tears in - while we can't relive those magical days, the memories will live on forever x
@@DV-zv4ox isn't it strange how Wow music can envoke a feeling and a time when things were simpler? It was just background noise then and now it's a key to such great and fond memories.
It's strange how one song is able to stir so many memories. These were some of the happiest times in my life and it saddens me to know they are gone. I'd like to go back for just a little bit to experience the awe and novelty that I once had with WoW.
It was the greatest thing when I found out what the main instrument here was called, because it's definitely not a violin. For anyone interested, it's a Swedish instrument called a nyckelharpa.
Ah the hills, I loved them so much, I used to spend hours fishing in the rivers and mining cobalt. occasionally I would get smashed by a rune giant but that was okay
+MrSnuggle Grizzly Hills was the only zone that I took my merry little time working in. I would literally do everything there was to do in the zone, just so I could listen to the music. It was sooooo relaxing.
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.
I got teary eyed whenever I leveled in Grizzly Hills. I grew up in Washington state, and Grizzly Hills brought back so many memories of the forests around Mt. Rainier National Park. I lived on McChord Air Force Base and going out on the flight line with my dad and seeing Mt. Rainier in the background? Breathtaking...
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.
This place was pretty much Alaska meets Norway to me. Howling 'Fjord' clearly was Norwegian based and the Vrykul leaked into Grizzly Hills too, honestly eastern Howling and most of Grizzly Hills are my favourite areas in the game even to this day, there's just something so awesome about the wooden housing, huge pine trees, snow and the music
I live in Alaska, I've gone hiking up to Angel rocks and play this in my backpack speakers, a to keep bears away and B it just puts a pep in my step :)
As a Norwegian, Howling Fjord didn't feel like Norway to me at all. Grizzly Hills was so familiar it made me cry. My heart swells every time I hear that fiddle.
***** 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.
It was.. the furthest raid progression I had, furthest PVP progression, most friends online, wintergrasp, the whole northrend continent was really captivated me and I was playing from vanilla until 2 months ago, wotlk was by most the best expansion in my opinion.
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.
Mickey McFinigan how is it possible that you explain the feeling i have my whole life in just 1 comment you're a wonderful personlike everybody who got the same feeling lets stop thinking lets start living together
My brother plays the bassoon. The first time we played in The Grizzly Hills and this song started playing, we stopped on our tracks to listen. When the bassoon solo began, we were on the verge of tears, seriously. Ah, the memories... If this song doesn't make hair all over your body stand, YOU are doing something wrong.
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
If I ever get lost in the vast Canadian wilderness I will just listen to this song and I will never go insane. Until my phone dies then I join the forest people.
I was a hunter, when I quit playing, I released all my pets, one by one, in every place I found them... I remember to be waiting for days, weeks until some of them finally appears, if you were hunter, you know it was a hard and nice task. 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.... Nice moments in that imaginary world.....
That is a nice story right here that you're telling. I don't think any one of us old or even recent classic players could do the same, i guess we all just got bored with the game at some point and moved on with other sht but i'd never picture myself doing the same RP as you did, having played a hunter forever. :)
I quit during BFA I had 16 characters but only one at level 120 the rest was level 100 or higher. I sold all my gear on all my toons and gave away 57,000 gold to level one character, they was shocked.
I love this music. I remember the Bears fishing in the river, the wild horses running for in the glades, the Giants throwing stones down at the dwarfs, the Taunka villages and of course the furbolg inhabiting the old world tree...
I remember.. as if it was just a morrow's day ago.. As I looked into the dark wilds of this frigid land. Seeing the sun peeking past the clouds, shy and timid. 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.
I never EVER went to grizzly hills except once for the DK-seal-majigger that was BiS for a long time and when I did I listened to Iron Maiden. Now I feel oh so bad - this is a masterpiece.
Dillon Hockett True, but too much is...Well, too much. I can still listen to Maiden for hours on end but I never was open minded enough to give Wotlk OST a try - until Ulduar. That's when I actually tuned into ingame OST from time to time.
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. Makes me imagine a life in the forest hills like that...reading, fishing, painting, ... so peaceful and stoic. This is how humanity is supposed to exist...
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.
Man I fucking miss Wrath. That game was what an MMO should be, I wish it just stayed the way it was forever and Arthas never died, best game experience I'll ever have.
Franz Lucien Ros played warmane for a while, 12k players at the time but the progression is over, current WoW is actually a lot better than I anticipated.
I lost my father 5 days before this video was uploaded What a rough year 2009 has been. Yet so simple and beautiful The years go by fast cherish the moments before they are gone.
This always makes me cry. My past, my history with this game. It's much more than 'just a game'. Some of the finest people I knew were friends, and some still are, as a result of this 'game'.
This music makes me happy : ) it made me think about how World of Warcraft should be..i think people stop enjoying WoW when they get too into the mechanics, they forget the meaning of the world. When they start caring about only the rewards and not the quest to obtain the reward. They care more about winning that they forget to cherish the moment with the guild..
There's a reason I log out most of my characters in Grizzly Hills even still, and its because of this. Spent most of my time there just to listen to it in game while roaming. Good times..
When i listen to this music.. all great WoW memories come into my mind.. its like it touches my heart.. i dont know, i get reminded by all those problems we got in real life.. some things that dont work as we would like to, but i dont feel bad about it.. This is one of the best songs ever made for gaming history.. I just went there to get the quests for crusade thingy for the pets and the titles.. but finding this music again is soo great, i cant even write it down how happy i feel just by hearing this music
I really miss those times when I could just come home from school and just play. Now with all those responsibilities and whatnot, listening to this makes me tear up a little and think of all the great memories I've had with this game.
The music and scenery of Grizzly Hills will always remind me of home. Of the place I was born. Some called it cold and forbidding and couldn't wait to be anywhere else, but to me it sang with freedom and whispered softly that it would never change. And every time I go to back to visit, it keeps its promise.
Was just listening to some irish folk music and remembered this tune from my WoW days. This was the last expansion I played. Listening to it really brings me back. I used to hang out in this part of the map for hours on lazy days to listen to the music. Was a cool trip down memory lane, only to look back at the screen. 11 YEARS?!?? HOLY FUCK. I think I needs to sit down.
Not to sound all high and mighty, but I am music major in college and experience music in my life all day and night. And as a casual gamer I find the score of a game to be one of the most significant enhancements to a game as a whole. 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.
I liked to perch my flying mount in a tree near a waterfall and listen to the main theme along with the rush of water. It always felt like I'd found some secret spot of tranquility in a world gone mad.
Sadly the music in World of Warcraft dosen't intrest many of my friends who plays the game. Almost everyone I know starts some other music and somehow I feel sad for them. They miss this beautiful music and all other amazing music in the game. :(
I always come to this some so I can hear that fiddle solo. I love how they knew it was so good that it's always the default start up some when you come here. So much to do, from the lodge to the campus, the Blooodmoon Fortress... Not too mention wherever the hell Bronzebeard is... Such an iconic zone for an iconic game that got me hooked thanks to all iconic fiddle duet. Seriously this is the zone that made me realize this have isn't just a game. Easily my favorite zone in the game.
When life gets hard I always come back to this.. I don't know why but it just makes me feel better inside.. thank you to whoever made this.. you have no idea how much it helps me get through it all. I never knew a video game could have so much impact on me like this game did. Please play this at my funeral
This nostalgic soundtrack is a peak of WoW's history... it reminds us how good the game once was :( I will always remember it... best childhood... my children will hear stories of this place
I remember when I first went to Grizzly hills for questing. My friends told me not to go there because of crappy questline and slow questing or something. But i didn't listen to them. I enjoyed the land, music and the quests more then power lvling.
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...
Was just playing again for the fun of it, made a new mage and got into grizzly hills after some time. The second I heard this bit of music I was just like, oh yeah.... This game fucking rocks!
Gosh i so hope that WoD wont dissapoint me... Going back to outlands no matter in what appearance and living through the events, meeting old familliar characters and observing the beautiful scenery excites me like crazy.
I know right? The raids and Dungeons and all that jazz sound cool, but the whole feeling and the theme is just exciting in comparison to...Uh...Pandapeople.
***** Hey man, I liked MoP. As I said, Dungeons and Raids were awesome! (Can't judge PVP as I...Suck at PVP.) I loved the atmosphere and all, but I still don't think Pandaren were a necessity in Lore. I'd have liked other races to be playable. 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.
SirMalorak might be nostalgia talking. But for me the expansions just get progressively worse. Like BC = Amazing = Lich King = Good = Cat = Average. and so on.
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!
Canada and alaska has nothing to do with this zone. The whole zone represents sweden and the rest of Scandinavia. The instrument is not a violin, it's a swedish instrument called nyckelharpa.
yes scandinavia was the inspiration behind it, but other people have found connections to their own experience and favorite rl places, what's wrong with that
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...
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.
Canada? lel so fun Scandinavian culture, scandinavian music, scandinavian influenced race (vikings, vylkur) and scandinavian landscape. pls come again.
this song brings back so many good memories this is one of my favourite places in Azeroth is just the feeling..sometimes i could stay for 2-3 hours just..fishing.. it was just me.. next to a fireplace just looking at the river and listening to this song over and over again. one of m most precious memories from when i was a kid.
My first time in this zone was while doing some howling fjord quests which lead me to the northern area. I saw the road leading north to grizzly hills and thought "where does this lead?" and went in that direction, only to be confronted by a greatly overleveled elemental, so I turned and fled with this playing in the background. And that was my first moment in grizzly hills.
For months i always leveled up my characters at Borean Tundra. One day i decided to level up on the opposite side of Northrend. I still remember the day i first got to Grizzly Hills and this part of the song stuck out to me 1:46 . Such beautiful music. At max level i would fly back to Grizzly Hills to visit the main town and listen to the music. Im so old now. Where has the time gone.
lovely nyckelharpa. it's nyckelharpa, you can hear the bow which isn't present in a hurdy gurdy. it might be an older form of nyckelharpa, called silverbasharpa or another called moraharpa :)
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.
look people, don't look at WoW as bad game, just think of this way: as long I fulfill my duties, I never have to quit playing, that tought is what kept me playing all this years. Cheers!
Manly tears were shed while listening to this, remembering the good old friend, some you've lost throught the years, some you still talk today...damn, this theme, was my afk spot in World of warcraft back then, so many memories were made with this work of art.

We are all in awe of thus time in history
It's strange how one song is able to stir so many memories. These were some of the happiest times in my life and it saddens me to know they are gone. I'd like to go back for just a little bit to experience the awe and novelty that I once had with WoW.
i completely understand :( i want that feeling back again.
so true... i feel you
Mikey3067 feel u too
Mikey3067 Warmane server. They have the option to play with both original textures and WOD ones.
Mikey3067 Guys. I feel you all
It was the greatest thing when I found out what the main instrument here was called, because it's definitely not a violin.
For anyone interested, it's a Swedish instrument called a nyckelharpa.
I would love to see someone playing one of these.
David Castillo Just search nyckelharpa on RUclips, there are several videos with it.
Yeah, I did. I probably should have said "I would love to see someone playing one of these LIVE". Thanks, though :)
So thats what the Clicking Noise is
To your other surprise then, Mr. Blam: /watch?v=qQvZv8GZ8wg.
It can be played with a violin as well. ^^
But indeed, without the "clicking noise".
Ah the hills, I loved them so much, I used to spend hours fishing in the rivers and mining cobalt. occasionally I would get smashed by a rune giant but that was okay
It just reminds me of a cold and sunny febuary day while questing in grizzly hills.. aaaa the memories :')
I miss the good old times :(
I have exactly the same memory :)
+MrSnuggle Grizzly Hills was the only zone that I took my merry little time working in. I would literally do everything there was to do in the zone, just so I could listen to the music. It was sooooo relaxing.
+MrSnuggle YES! OMG so many memories, still my favourite zone to this day :)
+Call Sign Looney nagrand?
Call Sign Looney same here,I had quests left but had to go on and was hard to leave that place lol
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.
Oml thank you for this idea... This sounds like the most amazing wedding ever tbh
Well, you just brought a tear to my eye. Thanks and congrats lol
Cringe and awesome.
This is the best
Downloaded this and listened to it as I was walking the fjords in Norway.
One of the best experiences of my life.
Thank you. Thank you for living it
Absolute best zone music in Northrend.
storm peaks is, fite me b1tch
And Dalaran
this was the only time in any game that I just had to stop and listen to the music
Just realized you got featured in Nobbel's new video!
I got teary eyed whenever I leveled in Grizzly Hills. I grew up in Washington state, and Grizzly Hills brought back so many memories of the forests around Mt. Rainier National Park. I lived on McChord Air Force Base and going out on the flight line with my dad and seeing Mt. Rainier in the background? Breathtaking...
I was stationed on Ft.lewis and I miss Mt.Rainier everyday since I moved home. Such a beautiful place and we plan on moving back in the next 5 years
amazing
I used to afk in this zone by the river and just fall asleep to the sounds of water and this music XD I miss WoW.
I'm leveled there today, ambient was beautiful. I will return from time to time just to see grizzly hills once again :')))
And then you wake up to a lovely *You Died* box. Then you open your combat log to see it was some cunty Night-Elf Hunter. :^)
you mean some cunty goblin rogue?
Lmao true. But what better place is there to die than at Grizzly Hills XD?
Nope. ♥
Reminds me of a better time in wow and my life...that combination invokes true nostalgia for me.
I don´t know about your life but WoW is still brilliant!
Raul Gonçalves do u pvp?
ashiinsane90 not much. I prefer the levelling and lore content.
yeah i was gna say cuz pvp now is garbage compare to pvp in wotlk
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.
That quest is actaly in the Howling Fourj but yeah you can glide into gizzly hills from there just actually did that
This place was pretty much Alaska meets Norway to me. Howling 'Fjord' clearly was Norwegian based and the Vrykul leaked into Grizzly Hills too, honestly eastern Howling and most of Grizzly Hills are my favourite areas in the game even to this day, there's just something so awesome about the wooden housing, huge pine trees, snow and the music
I live in Alaska, I've gone hiking up to Angel rocks and play this in my backpack speakers, a to keep bears away and B it just puts a pep in my step :)
It's based on northern zealand, denmark
As a Norwegian, Howling Fjord didn't feel like Norway to me at all. Grizzly Hills was so familiar it made me cry. My heart swells every time I hear that fiddle.
***** 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.
***** Hey, no worries, mate.
my favorite expansion.
yessssss wrath was LIFE!
WotLK was by far the best expansion
The last good one
It was.. the furthest raid progression I had, furthest PVP progression, most friends online, wintergrasp, the whole northrend continent was really captivated me and I was playing from vanilla until 2 months ago, wotlk was by most the best expansion in my opinion.
for me WotLK has the best music amongst other WoW expansions.
I Love Every Single Expansions Music! All Amazing and I don't think WoD will disappoint judging by the music that's been released
@@Gers1690iii oh you were so wrong
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.
I cri evertim :( xD
"Smile because it happened." That is a powerful phrase. I LOVE IT!!
Will you be my mate?
I got the same feeling man, its just amazing
Mickey McFinigan how is it possible that you explain the feeling i have my whole life in just 1 comment you're a wonderful personlike everybody who got the same feeling lets stop thinking lets start living together
My brother plays the bassoon. The first time we played in The Grizzly Hills and this song started playing, we stopped on our tracks to listen. When the bassoon solo began, we were on the verge of tears, seriously. Ah, the memories...
If this song doesn't make hair all over your body stand, YOU are doing something wrong.
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
If I ever get lost in the vast Canadian wilderness I will just listen to this song and I will never go insane. Until my phone dies then I join the forest people.
Dammit i live here, Why haven't i done this yet lol
The mosquitos will drive you insane before you can turn the music on.
I was a hunter, when I quit playing, I released all my pets, one by one, in every place I found them... I remember to be waiting for days, weeks until some of them finally appears, if you were hunter, you know it was a hard and nice task. 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.... Nice moments in that imaginary world.....
That is a nice story right here that you're telling. I don't think any one of us old or even recent classic players could do the same, i guess we all just got bored with the game at some point and moved on with other sht but i'd never picture myself doing the same RP as you did, having played a hunter forever. :)
I quit during BFA I had 16 characters but only one at level 120 the rest was level 100 or higher. I sold all my gear on all my toons and gave away 57,000 gold to level one character, they was shocked.
when you wake up on a sunny winter Saturday knowing all the wrong is gone.
I love this music. I remember the Bears fishing in the river, the wild horses running for in the glades, the Giants throwing stones down at the dwarfs, the Taunka villages and of course the furbolg inhabiting the old world tree...
I remember.. as if it was just a morrow's day ago.. As I looked into the dark wilds of this frigid land. Seeing the sun peeking past the clouds, shy and timid. 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.
Great comment man.
I never EVER went to grizzly hills except once for the DK-seal-majigger that was BiS for a long time and when I did I listened to Iron Maiden.
Now I feel oh so bad - this is a masterpiece.
Don't feel bad. Iron Maiden kicks ass too.
Dillon Hockett True, but too much is...Well, too much. I can still listen to Maiden for hours on end but I never was open minded enough to give Wotlk OST a try - until Ulduar. That's when I actually tuned into ingame OST from time to time.
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. Makes me imagine a life in the forest hills like that...reading, fishing, painting, ... so peaceful and stoic. This is how humanity is supposed to exist...
When I was playing WC3 and Arthas landed on Northrend, all those missions there, I'd never thought that Northrend can have such beautiful landscapes.
hrk4o Kind of an indirect philosophical message. Even the biggest hellholes have their beauties.
one of my friends who is sadly dead today used to play alot of wotlk together with me. this brings me back. rest well old buddy. i miss you
Respect man.
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.
shlyckel shlarpa
Man I fucking miss Wrath. That game was what an MMO should be, I wish it just stayed the way it was forever and Arthas never died, best game experience I'll ever have.
play Dalaran wow ^^
Franz Lucien Ros played warmane for a while, 12k players at the time but the progression is over, current WoW is actually a lot better than I anticipated.
oh yes, LFG...
I lost my father 5 days before this video was uploaded
What a rough year 2009 has been.
Yet so simple and beautiful
The years go by fast cherish the moments before they are gone.
This always makes me cry. My past, my history with this game. It's much more than 'just a game'. Some of the finest people I knew were friends, and some still are, as a result of this 'game'.
This music makes me happy : ) it made me think about how World of Warcraft should be..i think people stop enjoying WoW when they get too into the mechanics, they forget the meaning of the world. When they start caring about only the rewards and not the quest to obtain the reward. They care more about winning that they forget to cherish the moment with the guild..
Amazing comment . That's how I enjoy wow I just love the world
There's a reason I log out most of my characters in Grizzly Hills even still, and its because of this. Spent most of my time there just to listen to it in game while roaming. Good times..
So calm and serene. Appropriate for when I'm getting torn apart by a bunch of furbolgs.
One of the things I really enjoy in WoW is this, my favorite zone.
Whenever I level characters around Northerend I always make sure to pass by Grizzly Hills just to listen to the music and view the lovely scenery
That first hard note on the violin is enough to make a grown man cry.
I won't pretend to be manly, but I was shocked at home emotional I got at 1:45
Reminds me of the Shire/Many meetings soundtrack from LOTR, beautiful
this teritory kept me so calm and at peace i could chill all day here while playing my dk
this is so relaxing, when WoD comes out i only wish i could put my Garrison here
I was a noob Tauren Druid.. but damn every minute playing was so memorable..
15 years ago man.... 15 years ago and still as beautiful as I remember
Man takes me back, not just in the game but IRL aswell. Such a happy and simple time in ones life.
all of northrend will forever be my favorite. and grizzly hills has most memorable music
Northrend, the only place I roam, the greatest place in my heart of gaming.
When i listen to this music.. all great WoW memories come into my mind.. its like it touches my heart.. i dont know, i get reminded by all those problems we got in real life.. some things that dont work as we would like to, but i dont feel bad about it..
This is one of the best songs ever made for gaming history..
I just went there to get the quests for crusade thingy for the pets and the titles.. but finding this music again is soo great, i cant even write it down how happy i feel just by hearing this music
I really miss those times when I could just come home from school and just play. Now with all those responsibilities and whatnot, listening to this makes me tear up a little and think of all the great memories I've had with this game.
The music and scenery of Grizzly Hills will always remind me of home. Of the place I was born. Some called it cold and forbidding and couldn't wait to be anywhere else, but to me it sang with freedom and whispered softly that it would never change. And every time I go to back to visit, it keeps its promise.
Was just listening to some irish folk music and remembered this tune from my WoW days. This was the last expansion I played. Listening to it really brings me back. I used to hang out in this part of the map for hours on lazy days to listen to the music. Was a cool trip down memory lane, only to look back at the screen. 11 YEARS?!?? HOLY FUCK. I think I needs to sit down.
Not to sound all high and mighty, but I am music major in college and experience music in my life all day and night. And as a casual gamer I find the score of a game to be one of the most significant enhancements to a game as a whole. 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.
same here, most of my wow memories were fueled by the music.
I used to float or stand at that river for hours and walk, just listening to the music. Almost like I forgot about real life
Ghouse666 And I thought I was the only one. Truly, WoW's soundtrack is a masterpiece.
I liked to perch my flying mount in a tree near a waterfall and listen to the main theme along with the rush of water. It always felt like I'd found some secret spot of tranquility in a world gone mad.
Same, but I'm on my Wind Rider. Lok'Tar Ogar! >:D
In 10 thousand years, this will still be a banger
I want this to be played at my funeral
Sounds so ridiculously Swedish I barely can believe my ears!
+TwizzElishus keyed-fiddle is a better translation. :)
When the servers go offline I’ll be standing in that field, around the running horses with the alliance encampment behind me.
ill be there beside you !!
Oh when I die, I want this to be played at my funeral. Such a beautiful piece of music, the one thing Blizzard did right
Blizzard have done many things ''right''
I hope I never stop tearing up to this song.
Sadly the music in World of Warcraft dosen't intrest many of my friends who plays the game. Almost everyone I know starts some other music and somehow I feel sad for them. They miss this beautiful music and all other amazing music in the game. :(
I always come to this some so I can hear that fiddle solo. I love how they knew it was so good that it's always the default start up some when you come here. So much to do, from the lodge to the campus, the Blooodmoon Fortress... Not too mention wherever the hell Bronzebeard is...
Such an iconic zone for an iconic game that got me hooked thanks to all iconic fiddle duet. Seriously this is the zone that made me realize this have isn't just a game. Easily my favorite zone in the game.
When life gets hard I always come back to this.. I don't know why but it just makes me feel better inside.. thank you to whoever made this.. you have no idea how much it helps me get through it all. I never knew a video game could have so much impact on me like this game did. Please play this at my funeral
This nostalgic soundtrack is a peak of WoW's history... it reminds us how good the game once was :( I will always remember it... best childhood... my children will hear stories of this place
+Scourgeborne lok'tar brother
Paul Fred Team Lordaeron here ... sorry :D
I didn't play during Wrath, but goodness gracious I wish I did..
I remember when I first went to Grizzly hills for questing. My friends told me not to go there because of crappy questline and slow questing or something. But i didn't listen to them. I enjoyed the land, music and the quests more then power lvling.
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...
I revisit this every time I feel Fall in the air in Georgia. It's so beautiful.
GRIZZLY HILLLLS! THATS WHERE I WANA BE
Was just playing again for the fun of it, made a new mage and got into grizzly hills after some time. The second I heard this bit of music I was just like, oh yeah.... This game fucking rocks!
This piece reminds me of a small town in Wyoming I visited once. In fact, the whole area reminds me of that town. I miss it
Too much great old memories I keep coming back since you have uploaded this video 😢
World of Warcraft brings us together 😢
This plus: The Zeppelin/Boat transport, and the Sholazar Basin whistle makes my life complete..
so many happy memories of this
Gosh i so hope that WoD wont dissapoint me... Going back to outlands no matter in what appearance and living through the events, meeting old familliar characters and observing the beautiful scenery excites me like crazy.
I know right? The raids and Dungeons and all that jazz sound cool, but the whole feeling and the theme is just exciting in comparison to...Uh...Pandapeople.
SirMalorak MoP was the best expansion so far so your negativity confuses me.
***** Hey man, I liked MoP. As I said, Dungeons and Raids were awesome! (Can't judge PVP as I...Suck at PVP.) I loved the atmosphere and all, but I still don't think Pandaren were a necessity in Lore. I'd have liked other races to be playable.
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.
SirMalorak
might be nostalgia talking. But for me the expansions just get progressively worse. Like BC = Amazing = Lich King = Good = Cat = Average. and so on.
WoD has the best soundtrack with this zone ^^
Ahh... the North... Swedish, Norwegien, Danish and Finnish people, love you brothers and sisters!
i think the music and the theme of the zone is canadian :)
Uthax Hmm maybe ^^ well I can find this music in the North :)
The first song atleast is mainly played by a nyckelharpa (keyed harp), which is a traditional swedish instrument.
Uthax
as Andreas said, it's a swedish instrument and swedish style.
Uthax
Canadian music? Do you mean the native americans or what? This is fucking Viking influenced all the way. Sweden or Norway 100 %
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!
That Bassoon solo... is amazing
this song was so welcoming and relaxing.
Canada and alaska has nothing to do with this zone. The whole zone represents sweden and the rest of Scandinavia. The instrument is not a violin, it's a swedish instrument called nyckelharpa.
Look up "Key Harp" to get to Nyckelharpa. That is the English term for Nyckelharpa.
No fucking shit, just like the rest of Northrend.
It still looks very much like where I live.. the Pacific Northwest US.
yes scandinavia was the inspiration behind it, but other people have found connections to their own experience and favorite rl places, what's wrong with that
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...
I am from the Canadian Maritimes. This song reminds me of home.
it shouldnt. its swedish
+WowSjadet I'd say Norwiegan/Swedish. We and Norway got pretty much the same culture and traditions.
WoWFtw8 but the instrument is called nyckelharpa and thats a swedish instrument. sure norway might have adopted the nyckelharpa to but still hahah
***** Well, to be fair, Norway was a part of Sweden for many years.
+WowSjadet That's not a nyckelharpa.
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.
good stroy bro..
I love that place so much...
Grizzly Hills taught me a valuable life lesson: Never eat the free acorns.
It's the Canada zone!
Feels a lot like Scandinavia as well.
It's the ALASKA zone.
..which is like a Canada zone.
ImperfectCT I'm not gonna lie, PRETTY SURE humankind discovered Scandinavia before they found America.
I'm not sure what part of my comment said "humankind discovered America before Scandinavia" but, I'm pretty sure you're right?
Canada? lel so fun
Scandinavian culture, scandinavian music, scandinavian influenced race (vikings, vylkur) and scandinavian landscape. pls come again.
this song brings back so many good memories this is one of my favourite places in Azeroth is just the feeling..sometimes i could stay for 2-3 hours just..fishing.. it was just me.. next to a fireplace just looking at the river and listening to this song over and over again. one of m most precious memories from when i was a kid.
My first time in this zone was while doing some howling fjord quests which lead me to the northern area. I saw the road leading north to grizzly hills and thought "where does this lead?" and went in that direction, only to be confronted by a greatly overleveled elemental, so I turned and fled with this playing in the background.
And that was my first moment in grizzly hills.
For months i always leveled up my characters at Borean Tundra. One day i decided to level up on the opposite side of Northrend. I still remember the day i first got to Grizzly Hills and this part of the song stuck out to me 1:46 . Such beautiful music. At max level i would fly back to Grizzly Hills to visit the main town and listen to the music. Im so old now. Where has the time gone.
lovely nyckelharpa. it's nyckelharpa, you can hear the bow which isn't present in a hurdy gurdy. it might be an older form of nyckelharpa, called silverbasharpa or another called moraharpa :)
+Sara Scharin Actually is Barros Jarpa
+andres trincado No. It's a nyckelharpa.
+Sara Scharin Probably a silverbasharpa or kontrabasharpa. :) Moraharpa is not that likely.
+GeneralMus Definitely a nyckelharpa. :)
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.
same
look people, don't look at WoW as bad game, just think of this way: as long I fulfill my duties, I never have to quit playing, that tought is what kept me playing all this years. Cheers!
Manly tears were shed while listening to this, remembering the good old friend, some you've lost throught the years, some you still talk today...damn, this theme, was my afk spot in World of warcraft back then, so many memories were made with this work of art.
Still listen to this regularly. A fine piece of music which generates so many memeories when that violin begins.
