I missed everything after Theramore. Cool storyline.

Having played through the starting zone of all the races multiple times before Cata screwed everything up, I will agree that the Human zones are the best written and produced, with the Dwarves a close second. This has a lot to do with the fact that these zones had FAR more time spent on their development than any of the others. (This was revealed during an interview with one of the lead developers back in the day; I forget who it was.) The Horde areas were rushed, as is evidenced by the fact that Trolls are very quickly dumped into the Orc leveling zones, and the Undead... well, go kill spiders until you're level 30. At least the Tauren have an entire zone for getting to level 10.

"Hardcore" is ironically more chill. Caution is rewarded and recklessness is punished. Getting to level 60 is an accomplishment in itself, if the numbers are anything to go by. So take your time, level in the zones that you like, play the class/race/spec that you like, take the professions that you like, and politely decline the feedback of anyone who is telling you how to play the game. That person will get themselves killed just like everyone else, their meta chasing play style will not save them.

1:20 aight ima stop here download this game and make me a human race bc i never played it

Sometimes I wonder what some zones could have been if they got the same long treatment the human starting zones did

1-30 is so goated an sod p1 proved that. They really fleshed out all the early zones for each race an you could feel a story being built as you went from zone to zone discovering what troubles they faced. Kinda sucks that later the zones just get worse and you can tell they kinda just ran out of time for world building and smooth zone flow.

The smell of roasted almonds is linked to fighting murlocs and kobolds in elwyn forest, because I started WoW around christmas an my mum was roasting almonds and the whole house had that smell. It is kinda weird though

The corporal KEeshan quest reward is amazing for clothies. You get a high def stam intel chest.

Dammit I just subbed and the next video is bye for now lol

Yeah, I have played every race and associated starting areas and Human story board is by long and far the best/most engaging/and last but not least the fastest/easiest way to lvl 30.

Awesome challenge!

Re Bonjour 👋 est-ce-que les mobs de world of warcraft on des coups 👊 gueule comme les humains dans la réalité ? Merci ++

The Defias story is great, and it also seeds the meta plot that tangentially connects a lot of the zones in Alliance questing: Onyxia. Something you periodically come back to.

GREAT vid

ok

This video resonates with my soul. I played WoW from late 2006 through the end of Cataclysm. Nothing ever felt as good as leveling through Elwynn Forest, Westfall, Redridge and Duskwood. I still remember every single quest in those zones. When Classic Vanilla launched it was a nostalgic, warmly welcomed trip down memory lane.

They still haven't fixed the transparent textures being pitch black though..

An interesting point to note, is that in all expansions, we only hear the voice of ‘the narrator’ at the point of character creation, yet it is a major driver in the compulsion to ‘level’ our characters and fulfil the destiny set out for our races. I can’t help feeling that each new expansion should have been accompanied by ‘the narrator’ giving a gentle guiding hand as to where our racial destinies lie and inspiring people each expansion, making them feel as purposeful as they did 20 years ago.

I hate how they revamped this in Cata, the original version was perfect.

Do the scarlet crusade next!

I get the deal, but i don't believe these are facts. Even tho i mostly played Alliance over the years, i enjoy WAY more questing as horde, it's much more streamlined while still being interesting, both forsaken and barrens club. Also, Stormwind organized? Please... You just played Alliance, right? Thunderbluff race supreme. Stormwing is walking simulator for anything.

Hey man. I'm a horde only player. I've always unironically seen the alliance as 'just as' bad as the horde on moral standings, if not worse in many cases. In my headcanon, Thralls horde was a save haven for outcast races, people suffering prejudice or similar injustice. My vision of the horde were misunderstood peoples who stuck together to survive in a world that did not want them, and couldn't seperate the past from the present situation they were in.

This video was incredible! Well done, very much enjoyed it. I've played horde for a while now, but this makes me want to swap back to play out these questlines!

Do you think it is there a connection between Tidestone of Golganneth and the Stone of the Tides?

Regardless of class unless your Paladin, their class quest required level 12.

Absolutely agree 100% This is what I have replayed on dozens of characters. Perfecting a questing path. Refining it. I have played since 2/2/2005 and I still love it to this day. Great Video

I would suggest reading the novels in chronological order, they’re better than I thought they’d be

Who here knows about Onyxia because of Rav the Avatar and Howard? Long live Howard!

Imagine if the Naga are just collecting their shit they left behind when the sundering happened and they were transformed.

I quit at lvl 25 when as a warrior with 50% hp, a hunter sent his pet to attack me and walked away. Pet killed me quicker than some random gray mob. No ty.

Blood elves: are we the baddies?

My boy John J. Keeshan will save us all

So much nostalgia for many, but I find those early human zones little more than a delivery service simulator. It's like early training to be Amazon delivery driver, but on foot.

I really get the sense that STV was made solely for leveling convenience and so other zones could be left incomplete. The 100+ kill X quests are so boring, mindless, and mostly detached from any bigger picture events you cant convince me otherwise. Anyone who has played alliance can feel the difference once you out level Duskwood. Up until that point storylines were fairly elaborate and rewarding. After that? Not so much. But even in the lower level zones large areas are relatively undeveloped. The huge Gnoll encampments in Westfall cant all be there simply for one lower level quest for 8 Gnoll paws, and the Orcs in Western Redridge are essentially there for decoration. But these four lower level zones really set the standard for what gameplay should be like.

That's what pisses me off. Anakin had been very self-centered and arrogant for quite some time giving rise to his lust for power, recognition and status. Ultimately he is finally fully corrupted as he gave in to his selfish desires choosing his own wants and needs over doing what's right; yet, in the end, he is able to redeem himself. Arthas's intentions were noble and selfless. He would do whatever was necessary to protect and defend his people and the world even if meant sacrificing his very soul. Which is exactly what happened. In the end, however, there was no chance of redemption for Arthas. Anakin def should have been sent to the Maw. He would be so screwed as I'm sure the Force doesn't exist there.

The human zones were among the first developed and I think it shows. They are very detailed and rich in lore.

I read the title of this video in my head as: "The Greatest Journey in the World... of Warcraft"

I'll just skip SoD and wait for the next progression classic server to open up. Eagerly awaiting TBC again.

I got to about 5:11 and heard the way you pronounce "lowly" and... I just can't. Peace. Best of luck.

there is nothing like vanilla. period.

Re salutations ya t-il des mobs dans world of warcraft qui s'appelle les orgueilleux les arrogant les mécréants et les confiant ? Merci ++

Wandering around the world of warcraft and taking in the sights and memories of happier times is what this game is all about.

Nice 😎

I did the "One Continent Challenge" about 15ish years ago as a Blood Elf Mage on Kalimdor. Made a toon and a guildie ported me to Orgrimmar. Same rules, No farming, no professions, can't leave the continent. I didn't have a single issue..... 1-60 casually playing, took me about 4 months. Toon's level 80 now, still no professions. lol
