14 Year Old WoW Footage Unearthed! | Classic WoW

[@ChumblesMumbles]

Forty people wearing un-transmogged gear. That's a sight to behold.

[@dawn-blade]

With the glorious release of Classic, it's now everywhere and it is truly a pleasant sight to behold. Are you playing Classic, friend?

[@Mangs1337]

At the end of the day, what I miss the most about vanilla wasn't killing raid bosses or getting loot, it was standing around with a bunch of my guildmates dancing in stupid locations and taking screenshots.

[@Adam-082]

It's called Nostalgia.or not being able to let go of the past.

[@12poopie]

tears

[@Haze_E1]

still do that now >>

[@Karl_Marksman]

it's called being human

[@Shorim1]

I hope you all know that they can bring back the content but they can't bring back this

[@SeanRossHarvey]

8:26 ... that's me! The reason why I was guildless at that time was because for me, PvP took priority over PvE (hence why I was geared up and spec'd as fury at rank 11, as you can see in the video), so I had left the raiding guild that I was previously in, and instead ran along with battleground premades. I reached rank 12 eventually with East Dragon over the course of a month or so later, but I stopped there and went back to PvE after Stature of the Gods picked me up for Naxxramas.

[@harooooo1]

Haha wow such a coincidence that you find the vid.... damn

[@zefyrisd69]

Just to give a bit of context for peoples that don't know vanilla, thunderfury was an extremely rare weapon which had a debuff on hit that really made plenty of raid bosses easier to kill. By very rare, I mean by that that on our sever that had many many guilds raiding, many guilds farming c'thun and in Naxxramas, IIRC there was 0 thunderfury alliance side and only one horde side. And I'm not even sure about that horde side one, that may have been 0 as well. That weapon required two extremely lucky drops AND quite the heavy sacrifice for the guild in crafting material to complete the quest. While having a thunderfury in your guild was a massive help, having one and having the guy with it deguild for pvp was some of the most infuriating (pun intended~) thing that could happen in vanilla high level pve, together with your most geared MT deguilding or selling his character on ebay. If the thunderfury owner was also a MT warrior, well... I don't know in your case how that happened so I obviously won't judge, but most peoples seeing a deguilded thunderfury would immediately think "massive drama behind it, better not touch that even with a stick".

[@SeanRossHarvey]

In my case, the guild that I was a member of at the time when I got my bindings did not provide any such sacrifice for crafting, since I simply obtained both bindings in one single molten core run (paid for in DKP of course) and then left the guild shortly afterwards, where thereafter, I bought or farmed all of the crafting materials myself. I managed to buy elementium ingots and fiery cores from guilds who didn't need them (either directly or from the auction house), and a friend of mine was able to smelt everything into enchanted elementium bars. The guild Phased allowed me to join towards the end of one of their molten core raids to get my essence of the firelord from Ragnaros, and finally Prince Thunderaan was slain in a pick-up group (raid).

[@KennethVassbakk]

/wave Seanos. Greetings from a previous ;)

[@zefyrisd69]

Wow, that's some insane luck here, the two binding in one run? Crazy. Our guild farmed those two bosses for almost two years, that was pretty much the only reason we continued to go to MC after a while, in hope of getting that from them. On top of this, I MT'ed with my reroll in a reroll raid (several PvE guilds organizing a reroll raid in MC) the whole MC for like 6 months. All I saw dropping was twice the same part of the bidding. One went to one of our MT, the other dropped in the reroll raid and went to me. The other boss in like 100-130 kills never dropped it, not even once. If I dropped it in the reroll raid, despite my main being a T2/T3 geared priest and lead healer during raid, my guild would have immediately asked me to switch and equipped my reroll warrior in aq40-naxx40 to become a MT there, as sacrificing the most equipped and best performing healer AND having to go through the tedious task of gearing a new MT was totally worth it with a thunderfury in hand, that's how much that thing was valuable in pve.

[@SSD92_x]

Andy with that sigh of relief that Mike hadnt found the "other" hardrive hidden in his draw 😂

[@streetpaladin]

BOOYA!!!!!!!

[@scoops2]

You guys were spamming lady vashj macros where you pass the tainted core everybody had a funny thing in their own macro

[@seant3231]

it was a taunt macro both u and preach were using, whirl went straight into spout which would wipe if someone wasnt in melee, so it was best for everyone who had taunt to just take aggro for a second right after if ur main tank couldnt dodge the whirl.

[@iliyauryupin7923]

Ghosty I love you

[@toaonua523]

So how much porn was on the HDD m8?

[@hydromancer4916]

i'm gonna get a booya macro when classic drops

[@Craul08]

Guildless thunderfury guy must have been in Drama Time lol.

[@Palurien123]

Kinda doubt it, Seanos was a really nice guy and later joined Stature of the Gods :) Talked to him a few years ago while msn was still a thing, he had a bunch of screenshots from getting thunderfury and completing the questline :D

[@MrDoggson]

You had a bunch of guildhoppers at that time, they got their fancy shit and dropped out

[@sanityisdead3723]

omfg drama time, jubei represent

[@flamechicken415]

that's what you call the number one celebrity in every server, the Ninja

[@stephanematis]

[@benderbg]

I still have my 10y old 80GB HDD. I think its full of Jenna Jameson clips tho. booya

[@Artictoc]

[5. LookingForGroup][Glacius]: any end game guild recruiting active rogues (long shot i know) lol

[@retrocny5625]

Only bad thing about rolling a rogue. Get into a guild early, or be stuck waiting around for an spot to open up because someone got kicked or quit the game lol. I got lucky. I only ever mained DPS classes(Rogue and Mage) in vanilla, and I got to raid on both, the rogue I took all the way up through naxx. The mage raided MC/BWL.

[@Tehti1]

old wow footage? BOOYA!

Pandion Knights still exist today on the Draenor realm, ran into them a while ago when looking for a new guild and after a bit of chatting with an officer I finally remembered the name from way back when on Al'Akir :)

[@linksow5331]

See that is why I love your channel? You two legitimately passionate about the game itself, not just playing it. Shit I'd go to the EU server just to play with ya'll lol

[@WorldofWill]

Cannot wait to dive into the official vanilla servers

[@oscarbruins8420]

can't wait to see it dying after a few months

[@KIT2142LAW]

+Oscar Bruins Sure. A private server which went through shutdown, several dramas including theft of donation money, another shutdown, admins infighting etc. is still alive and kicking with 12.5k player online at the same time after 2(TWO) years from it's original release. And then official classic will die in a few months- 146%

[@blownspeakersss]

+Oscar Bruins The only game that's been consistently dying is retail WoW, hence why they have to put out an expansion ever other year to lure in players (yet their numbers continue to fall). The demand for vanilla WoW has held strong for over a decade, and will remain strong forever.

[@Consleazy]

They release a new expansion every other year because it's new content....... don't blind yourself, dude.

[@blownspeakersss]

Of course. And there's nothing wrong with that. But the reason why they need to release content so frequently is because the game itself has gone stale and has zero community. Community is what keeps games alive--and vanilla WoW had a very strong community because the game was designed in such a way to promote community and socialization

[@Final_Dan]

I miss Ghost and preach :(

[@brandondefreitas6935]

Same :(

[@tyredil]

I think the RR button was Raid Roll, I might be wrong but that was the first addon that came to mind.

[@lukesmith6871]

Watching these clips brought back countless memories of my vanilla experience, especially my first raggy kill omg what a buzz! Was smiling from start to finish haha. Would love to see the rest of the clips. Thanks for the vid :)

[@Saemidem]

"Guildless Thunderfury guy" that guy got both his damn bindings in 1 run and ended up joining stature of the gods :'D

[@Jabarri74]

I'll never forget Streets backwards man in Magtheridon think he ran backwards all night singing that, saw myself tanking a few times on the Mclovin clip. Happy times

[@CroneLife1]

Your camaraderie and love of the game are *so* clear and so very heartwarming. You got a sub.

[@Thebigbull994]

Hey preach (Relent) and Street..so glad I can watch again these awesome TBC videos bringing so many dear memories of us raiding and having fun together. I am Kammel the holy priest.We raided in Dark Light all tier5 up till first few bosses in BT :D

[@R0m0n3]

Pretty cool man. You all took me back quite a bit. I for one will play classic WoW once I have the time hopefully it's as pure and grindy as possible so I can relive the good days bugs, lag and all.

[@Pimula.Tsuchimi]

now i need to know what else is on that hard drive...

[@tardwrangler]

ur mom

[@DabuDave]

porn of course

[@deadvex]

fancy seeing you here, 10 months ago.. brother

[@thordan1630]

10:20 Some real bangers in here Ghosty, you were in 3005 when we were all in 2005

[@tardwrangler]

what song is that?

[@HangmanVa]

It's super familiar. I know someone sampled it for a hip-hop song. Bookmarking for a reply hopefully, cause now it's driving me nuts.

[@ninjasaga63]

its sampled in pitbull-i know you want me

[@tardwrangler]

Thanks, no Darude Sandstorm? I'm surprised

[@nigelm5539]

The song for those interested is called: The bucketheads - The bomb(these sounds fall into my mind)

[@Thewowchamp408]

I could only imagine what else he had on that harddrive, when he was 18 years old... A lot of "booya,"

[@killval849]

Please mate keep bringing out allllll the classic stuff you can, it's so entertaining for me. Love seeing Andy's Paladin as well!! Thank you

Jesus christ that Reindeer clip dragged me back 12-13 years in time instantly, the endless trains of people doing /follow in Ironforge...

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

I have always wished I had a computer with enough guts to record back during Vanilla. There were so many good times to be had, just like your videos. One of my earliest memories of the pure fun of Vanilla was in the NE starting area. There was a bunch of naked Night Elves dancing by a lake, so naturally I had to join in. And those days that my daughter and I would quest together in Westfall are some of my fondest memories (I do have some screen shots of those). I remember there was a flight path bug wherein your character would still be on the mount after you landed. This happened to my daughter and we could not stop laughing as we were running around killing mobs and healing each other with her still on a gryphon. Oh the good old days, thanks for bringing back some of those fond memories. :D

[@rubenloza1920]

Man watching you relive memories from those days made me do the same in my mind. Thanks for the video. Great great thing.

[@badassoverlordzetta]

Is this going to be a new meme? A twitch emote perhaps? BOOYA!

[@joaocunha3662]

I miss these two making videos

[@frozengrip2609]

Having auto attack on the action bar actually gave me cancer

[@ShinKillKenny]

having autoattack two times on the bar because wands gave me cancer and aids ;)

[@thomasnn]

Get better soon

[@sebkure]

Don't tell me you had autoattack bound, when you had a good wand...

[@dickgori2623]

Paladins were fine really, sure there is little going on, but atleast you die less than others.

[@crewealexboy]

Great video, and very interesting to watch!

[@dc1999ful]

never clicked off Christian mingle so fast.

[@username1232735]

RR is raid roll, basically assigned a number to everyone in the raid and then rolls 1 to however many people are in the raid and whoever's number was rolled got the item. Remember using it for stuff like the ZG idols for the enchants.

[@MrSebbie45]

Wow I cant believe my luck , From the very few quality Vannila Videos on here this one just happens to show my old Vanilla guild House of searing blades. Just wanne say thank you to Greg kiorin Demogorganas Lucius Lillgurra Magis Arael and all the other HoS member who helped make Vanilla raiding the best WoW exprience I have ever had and ofc and thank you preach and street for posting this. I still have my paladin Gryme parked on Al Akir if you ever wanne chat about them good old days then gimme a whisper or a ingame mail.

[@Brudof]

Have you been playing since then?

[@jonhagood8823]

at 6:42 you mention Midnight Reveries. I was in that guild oh my the memories. Great video thanks.

[@akamaih6463]

Awesome vanilla footage. Thanks for the memories & cannot wait to re-do it all again !!

[@Strathaczar]

My god... I just went back to 25 year old me, and remembered all the great times I had raiding MC/BWL/AQ40/Naxx40. The absolute excitement I felt whenever a boss would die. That's great stuff there. And it looks a LOT like my screen did with all the addons!

[@Kebobmeister]

some fun info from WIKI...Nefarian encounter can be reattempted any number of times, however, it takes 15 minutes for him to reset after a wipe (as of patch 1.9.3). Prior to this patch, once the battle had progressed to Phase 2, and the remaining Drakonids had all been killed, the gates would never re-open. Therefore, a Soulstone or other wipe prevention must have been in place, or the battle could not be re-attempted until the instance had reset completely. Nefarian would still respawn after 15 minutes.

[@chasingdirt4302]

oh man this is too good! so many memories from this game back then. No regrets sinking as much of my life as I did into it. I really hope new classic is good.

[@lorrieruff4402]

aww your buddy is a bit cranky cause he had no coffee. I can't wait till I see what else you have to show on these old Vanilla videos. It is very fun to watch.

[@The_Erik_Saga]

Really cool to see all the gear. I notice all the paladins wearing actual plate and not teal dresses. The game was so much better before we knew what actual bis was.

[@zefyrisd69]

Your video made me realize where were all my screenshots from vanilla wow that I searched a while ago. On an old 80gig HDD that was still around in my house. Funny how similar the situation was lol. I don't have any video though. Had a bit of a nostalgia time looking at all of them. Good memories.

[@PeterKocic]

Fain the rouge from House of Searing Blades sent this to me and told me to watch it! Nice find, brings back memories from Al'Akir. I was I HoSB and then SotG, good times for sure :) Oh and the TF-guy was Seanos from MR later went to SotG. Iirc he was a server transfer to begin with.

[@graemeblunn]

Stumbled across this video and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that you were in DarK Lite. I was in that guild on Balnazaar too! I was mates with Zaraki. I never raided or anything. But I remember coming across you levelling your pally in Ungoro, I was on my mage Errethakbe and got really excited to find a guildmate, so I spam invited you to a group and got all salty when you ignored me! Fun times tho :)

[@vandals4873]

What a great time machine you found :)

[@Pitbuller49]

Chat at 15:15 is why i remember Vanilla so fondly. Everything we did back then actually meant something when completing.

[@Rpground]

I really want to see the rest of this footage. Was just so much fun sitting here with you guys.

[@garycabezas]

Awesome I def want to see the tbc videos too! Nice work preach.

[@tusumi]

Nefarian took 15 minutes to spawn not 30 :) Still a felt like forever for each try can you imagine waiting 15min doing nothing just because you wiped on a boss? Rofl

[@mason8241]

Feels like this game came out yesterday. 12 years isn't that long apparently. I miss this game.

[@VressGames]

"What's the McLovin" - that made me laugh! So much nostalgia in this video!

I wish I still had my old screenshots and fraps recordings of WoW. It's fun to reminisce once in a while.

I watched this channel for years, anyways I wanted to say that since getting into IRL classic mensware I find myself saying the transmogs I create IRL, with gaming terms such as swag. I can't help it.

Oh man, The Bomb by the Bucketheads! I was 12 when that song came out. What a blast from the past!

[@smilenoevil]

Great find! Thanks for the videos! I leveled a Rogue(Shank) and a Paladin(Meleq) also during Vanilla. Wouldv'e been much easier to roll a tank though...can't tell you how much time I spent looking for a tank for dungeons and raids back then...fun times none the less

[@BattousaiHBr]

one thing i can say, this is definitely the highest video quality out of any vanilla footage i've ever seen.

[@Fang0rr]

Oh man so you were also an Al'akir player awesome, i didn't play on that server in vanilla but i do remember such epic guilds as Dark Storms from when i played in The burning crusade. :D

There was a bug in the Ragnaros fight in vanilla when I used to use ice-barbed arrows from AV vendor, and they would be absolutely huge when they stuck out of Ragnaros. Everyone used to complain as they waved around everywhere, but they were the best DPS arrows at the time. Good times

[@AKhellbindeR]

Footage like this is awesome. I also found an old harddrive with vanilla footage. It was just me testing out fraps, but still cool to see. Tons of screenshots from vanilla, tbc, wotlk and cata, but lost it somewhere around mid Pandaria where i quit the game.

[@nathanav1634]

You were Al'Akir too?? i was in Sotg, used to look up to Zal and spend my days on IRC trying to wind up Shagaire and Lylz (DarkStorm - boooo far too good they were!). Lots of us came over from the TFC community (me, Shag, Apoc, Katz, Steff among many).

Looking forward to going back to vanilla. It will be interesting to see how the increase in player skill affects the content. I remember vanilla being extremely hard, but I was also a 15 year old clicker/keyboard turner. I have a lot of unpublished cringe PVP videos of my dwarf warrior "wrecking some nubs" whilst keyboard turning with rob zombie in the background. It was a simpler time.
