This is my first ever attempt at making a video like this, and it took me AGES to make. It took a while to become (somewhat) efficient with the software used, and there was quite a lot of scope creep involved (I'd originally forseen the video being 20 minutes long max), but I'm really happy I got there in the end. A significant limitation was having to make a video about an alive online world whilst showing only me the entire time. I hope it doesn't spoil the video too much. It's a bit rough around the edges, I definitely think I messed up the audio levels, but overall I'm proud I actually managed to get it finished and uploaded! Any questions? Ask away! Any feedback to give? Please do!
You struck a hard chord in a lot of us with this video, I think. But it digs deeper than the nostalgia alone. A lot of us had deeply personal experiences with WoW, in our own ways. You captured the atmosphere and wonder of it all so well. I was never deep into it but I still sunk a lot of time in for years when I was a kid, on my dad's account. Watching this made me feel like a 10 year old again, playing my dad's Paladin while he was at work or asleep or away. Gathering minerals or whatever small things might help him on his path. My dad passed away last December, unexpectedly. I havent thought about WoW much over the last 10 years but since then, things like this really bite at me. The wonder of this game especially for a dumb kid was so immensely special. Lately I've been remembering forgotten feelings, and even just watching videos like this bring back so much. But this is something even more special, I'm not entirely sure why but your video truly invokes something deeply special. Maybe my dad did this quest, years ago. Maybe he didnt. I'll never know. But I feel closer to him regardless even in just watching this. And he'd love this video too. There was a magic in this world. I subscribed to you immediately. I am so grateful for your leap in making this video. Please continue to do more. This was beautiful and I hope for more amazing content. You not only brought out my lost 10-year-old-self, but you made me feel closer to my dad at the same time. You'rve given us a gift, and I sincerely hope you continue. I know my dad would want you to
The voice recording on this video was fantastic. No ambient noise, lowered amplitude, properly used pop filter, zero static polution. You clearly put a lot of effort into this first video attempt. It was a joy listening to you speak. The only small issue was the NPC voice lines were dramatically louder than you so it was a bit of a shock each time lol
I personally liked how they contrasted. From an artistic perspective, it sort of thrust you into the game world again. It's almost like a rumble of nostalgic memories reminding you that voices usually stood out against the music and UI sounds back then. I personally wouldn't recommend tuning this down too much next time, least the detail be lost. But I'm sure you'll have a great product no matter which way you take this.
I love everything. Very well done video!!! Keep it up ❤, just pay attention to those S sounds, as on max volume when you finish a word with S letter it sounds somewhat sharp and loud :D
@Veriganic You may never see this, but can I ask you what mic and recording tool you were using, please? I've struggled with audio for year, and it would genuinely mean the world to me if you were able to help.
The class quests truly were special. I started playing at the tail end of TBC, and leveled a warlock as my main. Quests to tame each of your minions every ten levels. The level 20 weapon quest, and the level 40 and 60 mount quests were truly epic. They genuinely made you feel like you’d accomplished something. Nowadays you just get it when you turn 60. But I *earned* my Dreadsteed of Xoroth the hard way - taming it at the bottom of Dire Maul with a group of guild mates helping me beat it into submission. It was a long quest, and the mats needed ended up costing more than people would pay for a regular level 60 mount, but the Dreadsteed was special.
Oh bro this gave me so much nostalgia. I was 16 y.o. broke and the only warlock in our little guild. The only reason I got the mount was because my guildies helped me to pay for the mats so they could experience the questline as well. After wiping so many times we finally got it for me at 2 AM. I had school the next day too 😅
Haha, indeed! I remember having a friend and some helpful random people assist me with that one. The relief and sense of reward at the end was truly immense.
I gotta say. It is absolutely RIDICULOUS how good at editing people are becoming. I keep consistently seeing more and more videos pop up in my recommended by people that have little to no subs (honestly, no offence, just being realistic) and their videos are edited to near enough perfection. The standards for youtube videos in 2023 are at an all time high and it shows. It only took me 2 min of watching your video to be able to imagine how many hours you had to spend on it and then I went ahead and read the pinned comment. Insane. Keep it up.
You certainly have a higher opinion of my editing than I do haha - but thank you! The free version of DaVinci Resolve is brilliant! Wouldn't have been able to make the video without it.
Broh that was such a wholesome video. It was nice and "slow", with which I mean normal speed voice, without cuts and speed talking like is the standard today. It was very relaxing, I enjoyed your narrative and the scenery. I did not mind the length at all. This felt like a nice little brake from a stressful world. Thank you.
Your storytelling style and explanations bring back a sense of novelty i haven't felt for this game in years! Really looking forward to more, and this one was so good.
Hillsbrad foothills and Southshore world PVP were some of my most treasured memories playing wow around 2006~. If anyone called for help from my guild chat or world PVP chat that Southshore was under attack, I'd fly there straight away and fight endlessly. Some fights lasted an hour, with organised horde groups relentlessly attacking. I'd love calling my guild mates for help. Thanks for making this video!!
@Tiago Sousa I've been playing wow since vanilla, haha I remember the launch of TBC and Wrath, I stopped playing after MOP came back from Warlords, left again, and now I'm playing Dragon Flight. Doesn't change my point that Classic Andy's are annoying
This is an extremely charming video. Your voiceover gives perfect context without getting bogged down anywhere, and I love the wide shots of your distant character running through the varied environments; it really captures that sense of being on a grand adventure through strange lands. Even if this is the only video you ever produce, you should be extremely proud of the channel. A true gem.
I know this is the most cliche of statements but Vanilla felt like a world. It WAS a world. You really felt a part of something bigger than yourself. That was and is such an epic feeling. Also - I love the 'style' of this video! The camera following the chracter around as he runs around in game makes the video seem really cozy and like a story-time type thing. Love it!
It's like once they started establishing the world with your character as the primary source of story development it lost that nuance feeling of "world building" because now the story is accommodating the player and not the world the player exists. Everything is a plot device now and its really frustrating
@@Shamanisticshuffler Exactly. I don't want to be the protagonist. I don't want to have the whole world revolve around me with everyone kissing my ass. I want to be the pond scum in a world that's too big for me too comprehend.
I started playing wow in 2020, the F2P retail edition. I've heard about the cool world-spanning quests. Can you imagine the whiplash I got when every damn quest could be finished within the same zone? I was hoping on a fascinating trek with that one quest in Duskwood. BAM! The quest was over before it even really began. Really left a bad taste in my mouth. I did get what I wanted when I started playing on a private server, and had to move from continent to continent to finish quests. It was great. Blizz really fucked up since expansion 1. Especially the lack of Broken Draenei, but the most egregious thing was the addition of those fucking wind-chimes. THE LIGHT IS THE LIGHT, NOT SOME FUCKING WIND-CHIMING CRYSTAL!
i need MORE of this. i can not even explain the feelings i had while listening to this, the quiet soundtrack in the background, the ambient sounds such as the fountain in front of BFD, the boat chimes and much more, it is simply fantastically made, great job, keep it up!
I like how you touch on the player friction as a important element. it's honestly why I think flying an dungeon finder / sharding ruined the game. You no longer get a chance to meet familiar strangers. Which ends up ruining any hopes of making / finding friends or rivals within the game.
Another aspect of dungeon finder that in my opinion had a large negative impact is the fact that players no longer have any investment whatsoever in the group.
Completing this quest was one of my most memorial parts of the Classic release. I was questing early one Saturday morning, and received a whisper for a fellow Paladin looking to group for this. We found 3 other Paladins and rolled through this entire quest line together. Working through the dungeons as that group was great fun. I didn't know about the Silverpine Forest day/night cycle effecting the worgen village until now.
True, I also remember this quest very well. The scale of this quest was MASSIVE! And the reward was just so good. I had no idea what to expect from this quest, but the adventure was just amazing
this video is incredibly special. several times through watching i was completely overcome by nostalgia and sorrow that i will never be able to have experiences like those described in the video again. I remember the run to my favorite druid trainer in mulgore, I remember gathering all of my other cow druid friends together and showing them the secrets of the world to get them their own funny seal form. Things are just too fast and impersonal now in WoW that moments like these are impossible to have. And honestly, it’s for this reason that i started to do roleplay. I just wanted to know I wasn’t alone in the world anymore. the pace, tone, scenery shots, and especially your word choice and voice are very powerful and deliberate. Thanks for a walk through memories!
That's a beautiful way of telling a story that the majority of players have never experienced. Even as a 2005 veteran of the game who played a considerable amount of Vanilla even post the inception of TBC, I only learned of this quest through Esfand just a week ago. The algorithm blessed me with your eloquent storytelling of that same weapon's creation and the journey it entails.
The Stone That Bind Us from Fallen Hero of The Horde(border of Swamp of Sorrow and Blasted Lands) is among those quest chains which made WoW Classic worth of playing. With Onyxia prequest and AQ Scepter of The Shifting Sands qustlines(which is best qline in all WoWs from my perspective) it made playing experience unique.
This is honestly such a great production, well done especially as you say for your first video. It's clear to see your inspirations but you also have quite an original spin on your own version of storytelling, a personal 1st hand approach rather than just lore exposition. You deserve a lot more recognition!
This is one of my all time faborote wow videos. I've seen them all, and this ranks amongst the highest. Paladins are by far my favorite class and this quest chain is epic. You have a relaxing voice, and articulate the story well. You've earned my sib, and I hope you succeed further in this journey
Ah yes, these overly complicated, requiring-too much-effort-compared-the-reward quests were truly something. Farming red-level elementals as a level 31 warrior is still one of my fondest memories
You could use the axe for another 20+ lvls. So yeah. It was worth the difficulty. It gave you something to work towards, a reason to party up, and a huge power spike if you can get it before lvl 35
@@levonschaftin3676 I remember potions. Many potions. I also think that, somewhere deep in my core, the Whirlwind Axe quest prepared me for Dark Souls.
Instantly realized which quest it was despite not playing much Paladin. Guess that proves it was very memorable. you got my subscription before I even finish this.
As someone who recently completed this exact questline on Classic Era, everything you said is 100% true. It truly felt like a world-spanning *adventure*, and the culmination of your trials and toils was this awesome-looking hammer, that was pretty damn good stat-wise too. It really does encapsulate everything I love about this game, though I'm definitely a little spoiled by some of the more modern luxuries, haha. Definitely going to be watching this channel with interest, regardless of video content - your presentation style is so comfortable and warm.
I remember proudly walking around with Verigan's fist enchanted with +5 damage for the blue glow. This was truly one of my most epic quest experiences.
I did the same thing, enchanter was like "you want to enchant this?" Lmao, probably a waste. But whatever, not like needed to save up for a lvl 40 mount.
Absolutely love the immersive narrative style of your videos. I've been playing WoW since I was 8, on my cousin's account, until I got my own at the age of 12. Needless to say WoW has been a huge part of my life and remains so to this day as I'm autistic and it's one of my special interests. Watching videos like these fills me with such a deep sense of nostalgia. Most creators would have covered this quest in a way that showcases how annoying it is to get all the items, but honestly it is an adventure and a nice one at that. It reminds me of the druid aquatic form quest. It sent me all over the world and I didn't hate any minute of it, it filled me with a sense of wonder and set me on a path where later in the game I'd go out of my way on purpose to explore inaccessible areas and secrets. I'd love to see a video on it, as a young night elf it really left a mark on me
What a journey! Even as a 15+ year WoW Veteran who knew that quest your approach to showcase it was really compelling! Subbed and hopefully will see more stuff in the future!
Well done video. My first character was a paladin when classic was the current and only version and I remember this quest chain and I have Verigan's Fist for transmog. Another favorite was the questline to get the paladin only charger mount with slightly more speed than other mounts. Super cool memory.
What a fun watch, your storytelling skills are great, and the little details you gave to have the video understandable by non-WoW players were great, without dragging it out too much for those of us familiar with the game. I can't wait to see what you put out next!
Alot of the time, "opinionated" video essays and "In My Opinions" can get bogged down with tons of minutia, or the presenter gets caught up in their own biases and the whole thing ends up feeling like a lecture or rant. You did a wonderful job of presenting your feelings like a storyteller. Even if someone had little to no knowledge of WoW, you presented your stance in this wonderfully captivating style that blurred the lines between essay and short story. It's the kind of thing you could listen to over a hot cup of tea, it's so incredibly cozy. I hope you pursue this further, I think you have a wonderful talent.
I very strongly agree. This video's presentation feels like a campfire story, a warm recollection of something near and dear to the presenter's heart, and an archival accounting of events all in one.
I am stunned that this is your first video and the quality is so insanely cinematic. I was a Horde player so this was a wonderful peek into the Alliance side of the journey! It reminds me of the mystery, amazement and joy I felt while following the (at the time Horde only) Shaman questline to attune to the elements and gain access to totems. I can't wait to see more of your work, chap au bas.
I've always been a Horde player since WoW released, so seeing the old world from the Alliance's perspective feels so strange and yet so familiar. I'd love to see a video talking about some of the original raids, the Sunken Temple instance, or even old weapon questlines like for Thunderfury, Rhok'delar, or Anathema/Benediction!
I was a Horde player and I got the same feeling as you did. I felt a sense of pride when Verigan got ganked outside of BFD. I felt anxiety creep up when he was talking about Hillsbrad but felt safe and at ease when he was apprehensive about trekking through Silverpine. It's super cool that so many people played the same game but could each have a completely different experience.
This is one of the best WoW videos I’ve ever seen. This captures a lot about what made those times so special, it brings a tear to my eye. Amazing, amazing work.
Thank you for the video, I love taking walks down memory lane of old warcraft. It is what we all remember rather than the big flashy content it has become today. Thank you again.
Thank you for taking us back for a trip down memory lane. I remember embarking on this epic journey with friends who are long since gone. This certainly is one of the greatest quests the game had to offer. ❤
I played a shaman in vanilla, and I remember the innate rivalry between paladins and shamans then: each was sort of the representative of their faction, like if the horde and the alliance had a football game, it'd be their shamans and paladins that met at center-field for the coin toss
I love the idea behind this channel, even more so when I found videos about aspects of my favourite games. I have learned so much already, phenomenal work thank you so much! Also thank you for reminding me of the first Fable game! Hearing the music at 8:33 brought back so many memories.
My first ever character was a paladin, and by a funny coincidence he looked a lot like your character. This quest chain was really memorable when I did it the first time in Vanilla, and I really enjoyed your cinematic recap of it.
Thank you for recapturing the magic I felt when I leveled my own very first toon, a human pally. I also died a lot defending against the Defias guys. I felt the same awe at traversing the world. This was an amazing video.
Thank you so much for making something like this. Absolutely loved hearing the music from some of my favourite games of all times (Fable, Mount and Blade…) Amazing to see we share the same perspective on a great game and on elements of it that often go unnoticed by the casual player.
I'm only halfway through the video, and felt I had to comment on the sheer vastness of the original maps! All the out of the way locations, NPC that only certain classes intereact with, questlines that you may never run across without going off the beaten path, it's such a wonderful world. One of the big failures of most of the expansions is how small everything is. They throw mountains in to break up direct paths, limit flying to keep you on the roads, but in the end, the areas are shockingly small, comparatively. There is also no space spent on folly and silliness. Nothing that makes the world a world.
Happy the algorithm picked this up. Great story, and beautifully explains why vanilla WoW is a true world with heart and soul in it, something that was sadly lost starting with the expansions. Barny's epic story with the Scarab quest shows that too. Always super cool to have videos like these to showcase that special piece of history. Oh and my first character was a human paladin too. I fondly remember the journey to Silverpine as well... and the hammer really slaps :D
I think we appreciate it, but there has not been a modern recreation of this quality in a long time. Development cycles and investors' expectations make the future of game development a treacherous path. Between navigating your own goals, the realities of development time, and undue external influence, it's nearly impossible to simply "let him cook."
@@undauntedExpounder there **cant** be a modern recreation of it though no matter how much time goes into developing it. Part of what made vanilla magical was the fact that information didn’t travel so fast, people’s collective game knowledge wasn’t so developed, and there was just a vastly different culture in general in gaming than there is today.
This was fantastically well made. The level of story telling put into this to really spell out the world lore, zone influence, and everything to a point that someone unfamiliar with WoW themselves would be able to watch and enjoy and understand this. The editing points around the Ogre camp were great with the screen pop-ups of relevant quests in their in game quest track info was great. Really taking us on the strolls even in somewhat expedited manor was amazing, and walking us through the experience of what jumps out visually and makes it feel like exploration was super cool. Subscribed and looking forward to seeing what else you make!
when vanilla dropped on 2019 I thought it was all fake hype because of nostalgia, I had a paladin on retail so I tried Paladin on classic yet, and even though it was one of the easiest classes, it was challenging, yet so much fun, leveling in retail never felt like this when I got the quest for this hammer, I actually had a good weapon, the Hydra strike, but the journey was so fun, going around the world, a fellow paladin taught me how to get into the elite ogre zone without a group to get the mats, and after it was done, I felt so POWERFUl, this is what WOW should be, fun leveling, a hard challenge, and a reward that makes you feel stronger retail has none of these things
How long did that last? You probably replaced that weapon after 5-10 levels. It is and always will be tedious gameplay and the actual challenge is not to become impatient and attack more than 2 enemies at once. Because it's not you who can't handle it, it's the really lackluster of low level gameplay with next to no abilities.
@@Nightstalker314 Tedious gameplay has always been a core aspect of MMOs. They're not mechanically complex games and involve grinding the same repetitive tasks over and over. Some people, myself included, enjoy that for some strange reason. Retail is faster paced but lacks the same feeling of progression. The tedious grind is what makes the reward feel... rewarding. Pulling two mobs can be a death sentence in Classic, pulling two mobs in retail is just a minor inconvenience. People enjoy different things for different reasons.
Vanilla/classic WoW has such a unique experience that it can't be replicated. I've studied game design for a decade plus. I know why vanilla was good and it's a combination of getting multiple things right at once. I could literally write a 30 page report on it. Despite the game still having massive game flaws and unfinished it's still one of the best games of all time.
I usually played Horde back in the days but i did play Alliance paladin once, but never remembered this quest. That being said, i feel very nostalgic seeing this. The old memories, the liminal feeling and the sense of wonder and awe. Thank you for this, old enemy.
As a life long Tauren this tour has shown me many fascinating things that I have never seen in all these years. It pleases me to see that the nostalgia is not limited to my own experience.
I must say man these songs you chose the background music are amazing. All of my favorite games are brought up in mind while watching :P witcher, m&b, morrowind and wow.
Aaaahhh. The amount of nostalgia you breathed into me is astounding. And this is coming from someone who spent 14 years on-and-offing with Vanilla Wow. Loved your video and the small humorous accents you finessed within! Keep it up, you earned yourself a new subscriber :)
I love the first person narration you chose to bring up here. The kind of soliloquy while walking in the tunnel "and oh, we arrived". It really moved me, it is a powerful way of narration for me. And I was elated to hear those zones' wonderful background musics that accompagnied me for hours and hours. Well done for the editing and thank you
I loved WoW. So much fun playing with my friends and guildmates. I fear it will never be equalled, and those that never played wont understand when we try to explain to them how great it once was.
Superb. I don't remember enjoying half an hour so thoroughly spent so impulsively. Nice choice of music, great storytelling, and I love the bits of real-life reflections you make underway. Super nice video cuts, made it seem like a video. I'm subscribed. Thanks for a splendid video with lots of nostalgia.
What an enjoyable breath of fresh air. In the current age of BiS-fixation, min-maxing and optimisation, it's really pleasing and nostalgic to join you on a calm little tour of the old world. This is truly how I think the devs envisioned the game being played back then; reading, piecing everything together. As a predominantly solo player, seeing you plod along taking in the atmosphere brings back such fond memories of a simpler time in my life. Back when I felt I had the freedom to get engrossed and invested in this strange new world...I wish I could do it all again for the first time.
I really like how you explain basic game concepts. It is clear enough so someone with no experience in WoW can wrap their head around it, but you're not tedious about it for those of us who do. That is a line I have never seen someone walk so deftly before. Your filming is solid. You change shot styles up (wide angle, interior, 'dolly shot'), but more importantly, you linger long enough for the viewer to pick up cool details in the environment as you talk. Your sound quality is clean and consistent, and you have a voice that is easy to listen to. Makes the whole vibe relaxing, and even cozy. And innkeepers used to have a proto-LFG mechanic? Cool! VERY well done! I'm looking forward to more from you. As an aside, there is no need to apologize over a video's length. When someone clicks the video, the length is right there in the corner, so we know what we're getting into.
Class quests in Classic era WoW were so much fun, especially for Paladins and Warlocks. I loved the way they didn't hold your hand too much, you were encouraged to actually read the quest text or ask people in the world. This video made me want to dip back in for another Pally playthrough, great work :)
Man, this brought me back. My first character back in Vanilla was a paladin, and you really did a great job expressing the wonder and amazement that the beginning of playing WoW felt like. Despite how long of a journey it is to get that hammer, I didn't keep it long as I ended up getting the 2H axe from Scarlet Monastery fairly quickly. The level 60 paladin mount quest was probably my favorite quest line ever, and getting a full slew of pallybros to collectively get our mounts in Scholo was one of my all time favorite WoW moments. Good video, dude. You got me all nostalgic about WoW for a minute.
After a long day, i would listen to you for hours. It's very relaxing, interesting, nostalgic and engaging. I also like your pace, i could take time to enhance the scenery and not felt rushed. Please more!
I have only played WoW as a teen some 10+ years ago (well, for several years) and never got to mass raids or anything like that. I enjoyed the quests, scenery, helping lower levels. I salute you for this video and for others on your channel. I have found you randomly just today, but these bring the best kind of nostalgia to me. Seeing old locations that are half-forgotten now (and which were half-forgotten by some even 10 years ago, because they were not on the "ideal levelling journey") warms my heart.
One can tell the heart was invested in telling of the story. I especially enjoyed the wide shots of the hero making his way on the journey. Great video
This was really cool mate - we all have little quests or moments that we treasure nostalgically about WoW, which is what makes it such a classic game that we all look back on fondly
God dammit, I'd give anything to go back in time. So many good memories. No responsibilities, no bills. Thanks for the high quality video of my entire childhood. It is very much appreciated.
Did this quest for the first time in SoM. It is so cool, all these long class quests are great. Also awesome video man, great storytelling, hopefully you do more
This is my first ever attempt at making a video like this, and it took me AGES to make.

You're well on your way to doing MadSeason or Barny justice with content like this. Vanilla really was a special world.
Well done
You did so well I look forward to watching you grow and flourish.
You did great! Curious what software you used actually =P

U forgot to mention the absolute best music from Fable and Gw2
@Veriganic You may never see this, but can I ask you what mic and recording tool you were using, please? I've struggled with audio for year, and it would genuinely mean the world to me if you were able to help.
The class quests truly were special. I started playing at the tail end of TBC, and leveled a warlock as my main. Quests to tame each of your minions every ten levels. The level 20 weapon quest, and the level 40 and 60 mount quests were truly epic. They genuinely made you feel like you’d accomplished something.
Nowadays you just get it when you turn 60. But I *earned* my Dreadsteed of Xoroth the hard way - taming it at the bottom of Dire Maul with a group of guild mates helping me beat it into submission.
It was a long quest, and the mats needed ended up costing more than people would pay for a regular level 60 mount, but the Dreadsteed was special.
Yes that Dire Maul one was tough for finding a group. It was a real accomplishment getting that flaming horse.
Oh bro this gave me so much nostalgia. I was 16 y.o. broke and the only warlock in our little guild. The only reason I got the mount was because my guildies helped me to pay for the mats so they could experience the questline as well. After wiping so many times we finally got it for me at 2 AM. I had school the next day too 😅
Kinda gives me PTSD that quest,since 3 lvl 70 couldnt make it any easier.But I managed to get Dreadsteed anyway.Kinda cool to accomplish it.
Haha, indeed! I remember having a friend and some helpful random people assist me with that one. The relief and sense of reward at the end was truly immense.
Loved me some Dire Maul, Feralas was a cool region. Harder to convince my mates
I gotta say. It is absolutely RIDICULOUS how good at editing people are becoming. I keep consistently seeing more and more videos pop up in my recommended by people that have little to no subs (honestly, no offence, just being realistic) and their videos are edited to near enough perfection. The standards for youtube videos in 2023 are at an all time high and it shows. It only took me 2 min of watching your video to be able to imagine how many hours you had to spend on it and then I went ahead and read the pinned comment. Insane. Keep it up.
You certainly have a higher opinion of my editing than I do haha - but thank you!
The free version of DaVinci Resolve is brilliant! Wouldn't have been able to make the video without it.
Broh that was such a wholesome video. It was nice and "slow", with which I mean normal speed voice, without cuts and speed talking like is the standard today. It was very relaxing, I enjoyed your narrative and the scenery. I did not mind the length at all. This felt like a nice little brake from a stressful world. Thank you.
Glad you liked it
Your storytelling style and explanations bring back a sense of novelty i haven't felt for this game in years! Really looking forward to more, and this one was so good.
Hillsbrad foothills and Southshore world PVP were some of my most treasured memories playing wow around 2006~. If anyone called for help from my guild chat or world PVP chat that Southshore was under attack, I'd fly there straight away and fight endlessly. Some fights lasted an hour, with organised horde groups relentlessly attacking. I'd love calling my guild mates for help. Thanks for making this video!!
2004-2006 WoW was something very special
The very good old days ...
Classic andys are so annoying
@@rubenleavell lol. Im just sad for you cuz you didnt have the blessing to experience of the best gaming feeling. Its alright. Someday you will get it
@Tiago Sousa I've been playing wow since vanilla, haha I remember the launch of TBC and Wrath, I stopped playing after MOP came back from Warlords, left again, and now I'm playing Dragon Flight. Doesn't change my point that Classic Andy's are annoying
Absolutely was
This is an extremely charming video. Your voiceover gives perfect context without getting bogged down anywhere, and I love the wide shots of your distant character running through the varied environments; it really captures that sense of being on a grand adventure through strange lands. Even if this is the only video you ever produce, you should be extremely proud of the channel. A true gem.
OG classic is the definition of soul, we will never ever see an MMO like this again.
Join turtle wow it's still there.
hopefully Project Epoch turns into official thing like classic and that dumb fcking "hardcore" thing
garbage boomer game
Turtle wow has hardcoremode@@CremeDeLaMeme.
@@petersander5802 Turtle is Shenna's pet project, easy pass.
The narrative, the pace, the shots, and the editing were all great
I know this is the most cliche of statements but Vanilla felt like a world. It WAS a world. You really felt a part of something bigger than yourself. That was and is such an epic feeling.
Also - I love the 'style' of this video! The camera following the chracter around as he runs around in game makes the video seem really cozy and like a story-time type thing. Love it!
Yeah, the still camera shots were really nice. Like the world is the primary character, not the player.
It's like once they started establishing the world with your character as the primary source of story development it lost that nuance feeling of "world building" because now the story is accommodating the player and not the world the player exists. Everything is a plot device now and its really frustrating
@@ZapatosVibes It's one of the unspoken elements of the video that I'm glad you picked up on 👍
@@Shamanisticshuffler Exactly. I don't want to be the protagonist. I don't want to have the whole world revolve around me with everyone kissing my ass. I want to be the pond scum in a world that's too big for me too comprehend.
I started playing wow in 2020, the F2P retail edition. I've heard about the cool world-spanning quests. Can you imagine the whiplash I got when every damn quest could be finished within the same zone? I was hoping on a fascinating trek with that one quest in Duskwood. BAM! The quest was over before it even really began. Really left a bad taste in my mouth.
I did get what I wanted when I started playing on a private server, and had to move from continent to continent to finish quests. It was great.
Blizz really fucked up since expansion 1. Especially the lack of Broken Draenei, but the most egregious thing was the addition of those fucking wind-chimes.
THE LIGHT IS THE LIGHT, NOT SOME FUCKING WIND-CHIMING CRYSTAL!
i need MORE of this. i can not even explain the feelings i had while listening to this, the quiet soundtrack in the background, the ambient sounds such as the fountain in front of BFD, the boat chimes and much more, it is simply fantastically made, great job, keep it up!
I like how you touch on the player friction as a important element. it's honestly why I think flying an dungeon finder / sharding ruined the game. You no longer get a chance to meet familiar strangers. Which ends up ruining any hopes of making / finding friends or rivals within the game.
Another aspect of dungeon finder that in my opinion had a large negative impact is the fact that players no longer have any investment whatsoever in the group.
Sounds like dungeon finder was to WoW experience what Tinder is to dating nowadays.
The Age of Mythology music is a great touch and very comforting. Great video and very entertaining and high quality!
I couldn’t put my finger on it until I saw your comment! Ugh it was bugging me lol
Completing this quest was one of my most memorial parts of the Classic release. I was questing early one Saturday morning, and received a whisper for a fellow Paladin looking to group for this. We found 3 other Paladins and rolled through this entire quest line together. Working through the dungeons as that group was great fun.
I didn't know about the Silverpine Forest day/night cycle effecting the worgen village until now.
True, I also remember this quest very well.
The scale of this quest was MASSIVE! And the reward was just so good.
I had no idea what to expect from this quest, but the adventure was just amazing
this video is incredibly special. several times through watching i was completely overcome by nostalgia and sorrow that i will never be able to have experiences like those described in the video again. I remember the run to my favorite druid trainer in mulgore, I remember gathering all of my other cow druid friends together and showing them the secrets of the world to get them their own funny seal form. Things are just too fast and impersonal now in WoW that moments like these are impossible to have. And honestly, it’s for this reason that i started to do roleplay. I just wanted to know I wasn’t alone in the world anymore.
the pace, tone, scenery shots, and especially your word choice and voice are very powerful and deliberate. Thanks for a walk through memories!
That's a beautiful way of telling a story that the majority of players have never experienced. Even as a 2005 veteran of the game who played a considerable amount of Vanilla even post the inception of TBC, I only learned of this quest through Esfand just a week ago. The algorithm blessed me with your eloquent storytelling of that same weapon's creation and the journey it entails.
I was actually watching Esfand go through this questline on HC too whilst editing the video! He's arguably the reason for my paladinhood lol
The Stone That Bind Us from Fallen Hero of The Horde(border of Swamp of Sorrow and Blasted Lands) is among those quest chains which made WoW Classic worth of playing.
With Onyxia prequest and AQ Scepter of The Shifting Sands qustlines(which is best qline in all WoWs from my perspective) it made playing experience unique.
This is honestly such a great production, well done especially as you say for your first video. It's clear to see your inspirations but you also have quite an original spin on your own version of storytelling, a personal 1st hand approach rather than just lore exposition. You deserve a lot more recognition!
As someone who never leveled a paladin in vanilla/classic, this was absolutely delightful! Loved all the cinematic shots.
This is one of my all time faborote wow videos. I've seen them all, and this ranks amongst the highest. Paladins are by far my favorite class and this quest chain is epic.
You have a relaxing voice, and articulate the story well. You've earned my sib, and I hope you succeed further in this journey
Ah yes, these overly complicated, requiring-too much-effort-compared-the-reward quests were truly something.
Farming red-level elementals as a level 31 warrior is still one of my fondest memories
Verigan's Fist & Whirlwind Axe were amazing rewards, well worth the effort!
You could use the axe for another 20+ lvls. So yeah. It was worth the difficulty. It gave you something to work towards, a reason to party up, and a huge power spike if you can get it before lvl 35
yeah, how were you killing them at level 31 without doing the ranged weapon cheese?
you mean elemetals farms you
@@levonschaftin3676 I remember potions. Many potions. I also think that, somewhere deep in my core, the Whirlwind Axe quest prepared me for Dark Souls.
Instantly realized which quest it was despite not playing much Paladin. Guess that proves it was very memorable.
you got my subscription before I even finish this.
As someone who recently completed this exact questline on Classic Era, everything you said is 100% true. It truly felt like a world-spanning *adventure*, and the culmination of your trials and toils was this awesome-looking hammer, that was pretty damn good stat-wise too. It really does encapsulate everything I love about this game, though I'm definitely a little spoiled by some of the more modern luxuries, haha.
Definitely going to be watching this channel with interest, regardless of video content - your presentation style is so comfortable and warm.
These videos are phenomenal. You’ve gained a new fan today. Keep them coming!
Wow! What a journey man. I remember doing this quest 17 years ago, it blew me away watching your video reliving it. Thank you.
This video is a true gem. The editing, the storyline, the music and imagery that are so damn nostalgic… thank you for sharing and making this video.
I remember proudly walking around with Verigan's fist enchanted with +5 damage for the blue glow. This was truly one of my most epic quest experiences.
oh my god the blue glow! I totally forgot
@@slowmobro3074I started wow on cataclysm because I saw the power torrent enchant..
I did the same thing, enchanter was like "you want to enchant this?" Lmao, probably a waste. But whatever, not like needed to save up for a lvl 40 mount.
Absolutely love the immersive narrative style of your videos. I've been playing WoW since I was 8, on my cousin's account, until I got my own at the age of 12. Needless to say WoW has been a huge part of my life and remains so to this day as I'm autistic and it's one of my special interests. Watching videos like these fills me with such a deep sense of nostalgia. Most creators would have covered this quest in a way that showcases how annoying it is to get all the items, but honestly it is an adventure and a nice one at that. It reminds me of the druid aquatic form quest. It sent me all over the world and I didn't hate any minute of it, it filled me with a sense of wonder and set me on a path where later in the game I'd go out of my way on purpose to explore inaccessible areas and secrets. I'd love to see a video on it, as a young night elf it really left a mark on me
What a journey! Even as a 15+ year WoW Veteran who knew that quest your approach to showcase it was really compelling! Subbed and hopefully will see more stuff in the future!
Well done video. My first character was a paladin when classic was the current and only version and I remember this quest chain and I have Verigan's Fist for transmog. Another favorite was the questline to get the paladin only charger mount with slightly more speed than other mounts. Super cool memory.
What a fun watch, your storytelling skills are great, and the little details you gave to have the video understandable by non-WoW players were great, without dragging it out too much for those of us familiar with the game. I can't wait to see what you put out next!
Alot of the time, "opinionated" video essays and "In My Opinions" can get bogged down with tons of minutia, or the presenter gets caught up in their own biases and the whole thing ends up feeling like a lecture or rant.
You did a wonderful job of presenting your feelings like a storyteller. Even if someone had little to no knowledge of WoW, you presented your stance in this wonderfully captivating style that blurred the lines between essay and short story. It's the kind of thing you could listen to over a hot cup of tea, it's so incredibly cozy.
I hope you pursue this further, I think you have a wonderful talent.
I very strongly agree. This video's presentation feels like a campfire story, a warm recollection of something near and dear to the presenter's heart, and an archival accounting of events all in one.
I am stunned that this is your first video and the quality is so insanely cinematic. I was a Horde player so this was a wonderful peek into the Alliance side of the journey! It reminds me of the mystery, amazement and joy I felt while following the (at the time Horde only) Shaman questline to attune to the elements and gain access to totems. I can't wait to see more of your work, chap au bas.
Man, the music you use is pure nostalgia from different games from my childhood! Great video :)
I've always been a Horde player since WoW released, so seeing the old world from the Alliance's perspective feels so strange and yet so familiar. I'd love to see a video talking about some of the original raids, the Sunken Temple instance, or even old weapon questlines like for Thunderfury, Rhok'delar, or Anathema/Benediction!
I was a Horde player and I got the same feeling as you did. I felt a sense of pride when Verigan got ganked outside of BFD. I felt anxiety creep up when he was talking about Hillsbrad but felt safe and at ease when he was apprehensive about trekking through Silverpine. It's super cool that so many people played the same game but could each have a completely different experience.
@@riku3220 funny how after so many hours/days/weeks/months/years(?) I felt the same way. Silverpine will always be a safe space haha
All that time and you never made an alliance character jus to test the waters?
his funeral, he missed out on the best zones/quests/people@@PsychoPizzas
This is one of the best WoW videos I’ve ever seen. This captures a lot about what made those times so special, it brings a tear to my eye. Amazing, amazing work.
This was incredible. I LOVE your method of storytelling. It's so intimate and cozy. Please continue!
Thank you for the video, I love taking walks down memory lane of old warcraft. It is what we all remember rather than the big flashy content it has become today. Thank you again.
Thank you for taking us back for a trip down memory lane. I remember embarking on this epic journey with friends who are long since gone. This certainly is one of the greatest quests the game had to offer. ❤
Your name... Do you remember running this quest , at night? With a Druid and 3 pallys?
I don't know why but the name swanger sounds familiar.
This is the best wow video I have seen in years. You are poetic with this one! Great tribute.
8:16 hit me like a truck of nostalgia, the fable music is so good and fits really well!
YES!
Great video! I could totally watch longer videos going more in detail with the same relaxed yet calmly enthusiastic tone. It's really nice.
Loved the vid, you’re good at story telling and got an amazing voice to boot, looking forward to seeing what else you make.
The commentary and editing were top notch on this, the soft music and ambient noise in the background made it very enjoyable. Well done
As a horde player in Vanilla Wow, this is the first I’ve heard of this. Kind of reminds me of the shaman quests I had.
I played a shaman in vanilla, and I remember the innate rivalry between paladins and shamans then: each was sort of the representative of their faction, like if the horde and the alliance had a football game, it'd be their shamans and paladins that met at center-field for the coin toss
I love the idea behind this channel, even more so when I found videos about aspects of my favourite games. I have learned so much already, phenomenal work thank you so much! Also thank you for reminding me of the first Fable game! Hearing the music at 8:33 brought back so many memories.
My first ever character was a paladin, and by a funny coincidence he looked a lot like your character. This quest chain was really memorable when I did it the first time in Vanilla, and I really enjoyed your cinematic recap of it.
Please make more video like these. The story-telling and cinematic shots are so relaxing.
Thank you for recapturing the magic I felt when I leveled my own very first toon, a human pally. I also died a lot defending against the Defias guys. I felt the same awe at traversing the world. This was an amazing video.
Thank you so much for making something like this. Absolutely loved hearing the music from some of my favourite games of all times (Fable, Mount and Blade…)
Amazing to see we share the same perspective on a great game and on elements of it that often go unnoticed by the casual player.
I'm only halfway through the video, and felt I had to comment on the sheer vastness of the original maps! All the out of the way locations, NPC that only certain classes intereact with, questlines that you may never run across without going off the beaten path, it's such a wonderful world.
One of the big failures of most of the expansions is how small everything is. They throw mountains in to break up direct paths, limit flying to keep you on the roads, but in the end, the areas are shockingly small, comparatively. There is also no space spent on folly and silliness. Nothing that makes the world a world.
Props to the cameraman. Those shots were beautiful
Happy the algorithm picked this up. Great story, and beautifully explains why vanilla WoW is a true world with heart and soul in it, something that was sadly lost starting with the expansions. Barny's epic story with the Scarab quest shows that too. Always super cool to have videos like these to showcase that special piece of history. Oh and my first character was a human paladin too. I fondly remember the journey to Silverpine as well... and the hammer really slaps :D
It’s not just that the game lost it.
Gamers collectively lost the capacity to appreciate it.
I think we appreciate it, but there has not been a modern recreation of this quality in a long time.
Development cycles and investors' expectations make the future of game development a treacherous path. Between navigating your own goals, the realities of development time, and undue external influence, it's nearly impossible to simply "let him cook."
@@undauntedExpounder there **cant** be a modern recreation of it though no matter how much time goes into developing it.
Part of what made vanilla magical was the fact that information didn’t travel so fast, people’s collective game knowledge wasn’t so developed, and there was just a vastly different culture in general in gaming than there is today.
This was fantastically well made. The level of story telling put into this to really spell out the world lore, zone influence, and everything to a point that someone unfamiliar with WoW themselves would be able to watch and enjoy and understand this. The editing points around the Ogre camp were great with the screen pop-ups of relevant quests in their in game quest track info was great. Really taking us on the strolls even in somewhat expedited manor was amazing, and walking us through the experience of what jumps out visually and makes it feel like exploration was super cool. Subscribed and looking forward to seeing what else you make!
The nostalgia. I'd do anything to experience WoW Vanilla the way I did when I was a kid.
I love how chill and relaxing this video is. Very nostalgic also!
Thank you for your job!
when vanilla dropped on 2019 I thought it was all fake hype because of nostalgia, I had a paladin on retail so I tried Paladin on classic yet, and even though it was one of the easiest classes, it was challenging, yet so much fun, leveling in retail never felt like this
when I got the quest for this hammer, I actually had a good weapon, the Hydra strike, but the journey was so fun, going around the world, a fellow paladin taught me how to get into the elite ogre zone without a group to get the mats, and after it was done, I felt so POWERFUl, this is what WOW should be, fun leveling, a hard challenge, and a reward that makes you feel stronger
retail has none of these things
How long did that last? You probably replaced that weapon after 5-10 levels.
It is and always will be tedious gameplay and the actual challenge is not to become impatient and attack more than 2 enemies at once. Because it's not you who can't handle it, it's the really lackluster of low level gameplay with next to no abilities.
@@Nightstalker314 Tedious gameplay has always been a core aspect of MMOs. They're not mechanically complex games and involve grinding the same repetitive tasks over and over. Some people, myself included, enjoy that for some strange reason. Retail is faster paced but lacks the same feeling of progression. The tedious grind is what makes the reward feel... rewarding. Pulling two mobs can be a death sentence in Classic, pulling two mobs in retail is just a minor inconvenience. People enjoy different things for different reasons.
This is a very cozy, calming video. Congrats on the publish!
Vanilla/classic WoW has such a unique experience that it can't be replicated. I've studied game design for a decade plus. I know why vanilla was good and it's a combination of getting multiple things right at once. I could literally write a 30 page report on it. Despite the game still having massive game flaws and unfinished it's still one of the best games of all time.
I could watch videos like this for ages! You write and narrrate really well and you're spot on about what makes WoW amazing
More plzzzz
I usually played Horde back in the days but i did play Alliance paladin once, but never remembered this quest. That being said, i feel very nostalgic seeing this. The old memories, the liminal feeling and the sense of wonder and awe. Thank you for this, old enemy.
Great job on your first showing, looking forward to many more!
As a life long Tauren this tour has shown me many fascinating things that I have never seen in all these years. It pleases me to see that the nostalgia is not limited to my own experience.
I must say man these songs you chose the background music are amazing. All of my favorite games are brought up in mind while watching :P witcher, m&b, morrowind and wow.
Aaaahhh. The amount of nostalgia you breathed into me is astounding. And this is coming from someone who spent 14 years on-and-offing with Vanilla Wow. Loved your video and the small humorous accents you finessed within!
Keep it up, you earned yourself a new subscriber :)
I love the first person narration you chose to bring up here. The kind of soliloquy while walking in the tunnel "and oh, we arrived". It really moved me, it is a powerful way of narration for me. And I was elated to hear those zones' wonderful background musics that accompagnied me for hours and hours.
Well done for the editing and thank you
I loved WoW. So much fun playing with my friends and guildmates. I fear it will never be equalled, and those that never played wont understand when we try to explain to them how great it once was.
Superb. I don't remember enjoying half an hour so thoroughly spent so impulsively.
Nice choice of music, great storytelling, and I love the bits of real-life reflections you make underway. Super nice video cuts, made it seem like a video.
I'm subscribed. Thanks for a splendid video with lots of nostalgia.
What an enjoyable breath of fresh air. In the current age of BiS-fixation, min-maxing and optimisation, it's really pleasing and nostalgic to join you on a calm little tour of the old world. This is truly how I think the devs envisioned the game being played back then; reading, piecing everything together. As a predominantly solo player, seeing you plod along taking in the atmosphere brings back such fond memories of a simpler time in my life. Back when I felt I had the freedom to get engrossed and invested in this strange new world...I wish I could do it all again for the first time.
Just binged like 3 of your videos and I must say now that I am a fan! Keep it up brother.
I really like how you explain basic game concepts. It is clear enough so someone with no experience in WoW can wrap their head around it, but you're not tedious about it for those of us who do. That is a line I have never seen someone walk so deftly before.
Your filming is solid. You change shot styles up (wide angle, interior, 'dolly shot'), but more importantly, you linger long enough for the viewer to pick up cool details in the environment as you talk. Your sound quality is clean and consistent, and you have a voice that is easy to listen to. Makes the whole vibe relaxing, and even cozy.
And innkeepers used to have a proto-LFG mechanic? Cool!
VERY well done! I'm looking forward to more from you.
As an aside, there is no need to apologize over a video's length. When someone clicks the video, the length is right there in the corner, so we know what we're getting into.
love the way its edited man, great video. super cool seeing the pov's from far away seeing your character move around.
Class quests in Classic era WoW were so much fun, especially for Paladins and Warlocks. I loved the way they didn't hold your hand too much, you were encouraged to actually read the quest text or ask people in the world. This video made me want to dip back in for another Pally playthrough, great work :)
Man, this brought me back. My first character back in Vanilla was a paladin, and you really did a great job expressing the wonder and amazement that the beginning of playing WoW felt like. Despite how long of a journey it is to get that hammer, I didn't keep it long as I ended up getting the 2H axe from Scarlet Monastery fairly quickly. The level 60 paladin mount quest was probably my favorite quest line ever, and getting a full slew of pallybros to collectively get our mounts in Scholo was one of my all time favorite WoW moments.
Good video, dude. You got me all nostalgic about WoW for a minute.
Glad to have brought you some nostalgia - 60 mount quest is coming up next ;)
I love the layout of this video.
Calming, yet immersive.
Made me also feel nostalgic! Very good. :))
As expected of a British MadSeason, you are lovely to listen to :D I look forward to seeing more videos in the future!
Fantastic video. I can see the Mad Season Show inspiration and the love you have for the game. Keep it up!
Great video! Very clear, easy to follow and quality of voice commentary!
I'm so happy I found your channel. I found it earlier today and have been watching for about 2-3 hours. Please keep making more.
another one tommorow!
Only 3 minutes in and I am loving this style of video. You really have your own touch, and it's a good one.
This video was quite exceptional.
Great work, looking forward to more in the future!
Even now, just randomly hearing Eforrsts music still brings a smile to my face... that music locked my soul to the game, forever.
Always great to see someone enjoying wow the way I do, exploring the world and getting immersed! Excellent video.
Thanks for making this! I'm nostalgic for the game. I swear I did this quest, once upon a time. Hope you keep making videos.
You did amazing for your first video! This quest brings back memories, I remember doing this when I was a kid
i keep coming back to watch this cozy video and its so cozy
After a long day, i would listen to you for hours. It's very relaxing, interesting, nostalgic and engaging.
I also like your pace, i could take time to enhance the scenery and not felt rushed.
Please more!
I have only played WoW as a teen some 10+ years ago (well, for several years) and never got to mass raids or anything like that. I enjoyed the quests, scenery, helping lower levels. I salute you for this video and for others on your channel. I have found you randomly just today, but these bring the best kind of nostalgia to me. Seeing old locations that are half-forgotten now (and which were half-forgotten by some even 10 years ago, because they were not on the "ideal levelling journey") warms my heart.
Your adventures are very much in line with my own, thank you for this shard of remembering.
Amazing start for a new channel. Looking forward to your future videos :)
One can tell the heart was invested in telling of the story. I especially enjoyed the wide shots of the hero making his way on the journey. Great video
This was really cool mate - we all have little quests or moments that we treasure nostalgically about WoW, which is what makes it such a classic game that we all look back on fondly
What a cozy video. I could watch stories like these all day. You did a great job with this man :)
Thank you very much!
God dammit, I'd give anything to go back in time. So many good memories. No responsibilities, no bills. Thanks for the high quality video of my entire childhood. It is very much appreciated.
You put a big smile on my face when you brought in Fable's music. Exquisite video!
The Fable music is an extremely nice touch, just finished the charger video and hopped back to this. It's great stuff, man. Hope you make more.
Did this quest for the first time in SoM. It is so cool, all these long class quests are great.
Also awesome video man, great storytelling, hopefully you do more
I absolutely loved your camera shots and your little nods to a certain old series from 2011
