_Let's be honest. Since the end of the Third War, Night Elf girls have heard it all. In fact, they'd already heard it all long before you or I was born._ _If you want to engage the mind of a Night Elf girl, you're going to have to stand out. Sure, we've all heard the tales of Night Elf lasses dancing on mailboxes and stripping to pay for Nightsaber training. True or not, if you want to light that lovely lady's lips up with a smile, you gotta be unique, memorable and confident._ _Start off by showing that you're looking for more than a gal with looks. Sure, she can bounce, she can dance, but can she hold a decent conversation? Does she even understand the proper use of a samophlange? Does she know how to have a fun time?_ _There's nothing worse than bringing a Night Elf to a party, only to watch her stand awkwardly by herself, breaking conversation only to lament the loss of her Highborne sister during the War of the Ancients._ _- Brazie's Notes on Naughty Night Elves_

Kinda sad to say, but I think I have more pleasant memories from this game from growing up than just about anything else. For me it was the people who I played this with that made it into sortta a refuge where I could feel free to speak my mind with my guild mates. To be able to vent about my frustrations of life to people who actively listened and tried to help me through rough times was therapeutic. Not to say that my family was neglectful, but they were just very much in the military mindset of suck it up and march on. I don’t hold that against them seeing how they made their careers serving in the Navy for 20+ years each. I’m very proud of them for serving in fact. Just having to always move along with all these other inconsistencies of growing up in a military family took their toll. So having my guidies there who supported me and were always there to lend an ear was such an important thing for me. They a constant for me when so many other things weren’t. I love those guys and gals and miss them very dearly. I hope all y’all are doing well in your lives and am so very grateful for having you have been apart of my life

Decided to include OST versions (and will continue to do so in later videos because why not) and Pirate tracks. Same for the Horde Taverns video, even though Pirate songs are much more similar in sound to Human ones. Horde is people 2. You will also hear some ambient stuff like crickets or ocean waves - those are parts of the audio files from “Taverns of Azeroth” OST. Brian David Farr is the man behind sound design for that album and I wouldn’t even try (with my limited skills and all) to somehow change the way those compositions sound. Let’s just all pretend we have an outside table tonight.

Ahh it’s been years since I’ve been back; lovely little hamlet on the arse end of who knows where. Never learned the name of this place; human settlements had such complicated names it was a headache to learn them all, especially for me and my pack siblings. But as I walked in, cloak over my wolfish frame; the strangest feeling came over me. I felt like I was home, it was beautiful; hearing the hooping and hollering of the patrons and looking around at the patrons dancing on tables, talking enthusiastically with their packmates, or nursing their drink, looking ill from a long bender of partying. I almost forgot why I was here; and approached the bar tentatively, making sure I didn’t broadcast myself too much. Beastfolk weren’t oft welcome in human settlements, but despite that I grew a fondness for them, even if they didn’t return the favor. The barkeep spotted me nearly immediately though, tall man, blonde; had a weathered face and a beard even our pack leader would envy. He gave me one glance, and chuckled wryly, his hands busy scrubbing a tankard. “Kyr my boy; still stealing away to spend an evening with the humans are ye?” I chuckled softly to myself as I took a seat; enjoying the light and joyful music the bards were playing in the corner while I leaned in onto my elbows. “You know better than I when a wolf is curious; it’s hard to steer them away Gareth. After all, who was it that got claimed again?” I nudged my snout towards the four long scratches that ran down his left breast beneath his slightly open tunic, my hackles raising in a wry smirk. “Ahh, aye, that is true. To be fair though; I’ve never quite understood why our races are at odds with one another.” At that I gave another chuckle, watching Gareth stash the clean mug away, and produce another, proceeding to fill it with my favorite drink since doing this seasonal dance. Honeyed mead, and as he set the tankard down before me I could feel the sweetness of it tickle at my nose, letting out a deep, rumbling sigh of content as my hands outstretched to take it. “Thank you Gareth, how is my sister by the by?” I could feel my unease soften when I saw him look off into the distance wistfully, a smile on his face. “We’re to expect a child before long; but…” I watched his face promptly fall afterward however, and knew what was on his mind. “With tensions between Wolf-folk and humans being what they are, it’s likely they’ll face no end of distaste from the other children in the village. Tasha and I have been wondering if…maybe it be best should she return to your pack, with the little one in tow.” I felt a deep pang of hurt rip through my chest at the thought, disbelief written all over my face. “But….but you love it here! Why would you want your mate and your unborn child to leave?” But Gareth leaned forward onto the counter, his elbows resting against it and his tear-pricked Sapphire gaze meeting my Ruby stare with a knowing sorrow. “Believe me Kyr; if there were another way, I’d go to the Plains and back to keep Tasha and my youngun here. But with her expecting soon….it’s too much of a risk.” I ducked my head at that, watching a tear hit the bartop, and realizing that I was crying now too, feeling my form start to shake. My sister loved him, with everything she had. I didn’t want to see them torn apart by the prejudice between our races! But….a thought came to mind, and in a flash, my eyes met Gareth’s again, feeling a renewed sense of hope The Alpha, it may not be perfect; but if I could convince him to allow Gareth into the Pack, it would resolve the issue! Gareth was strong; and incredibly resourceful, so there’d be no issue with him cementing a place for himself with us. “I have an idea.” Gareth looked incredulous, and taking my first sip of honeyed mead, I followed by explaining my thoughts. “Listen Gareth, we both know despite my and Tasha’s fascination with humans, there’s a strong distaste for one another on both sides. But our Alpha isn’t…conventional, he values strength and courage, and allows any who wish to join us to prove themselves. Some of our other pack siblings may not like it, but…I can’t see any better alternative, and this would give you the chance to be with them both; Tasha AND your child.” Gareth seemed dumbstruck by the idea, and as he pondered it, a hand going to stroke through his beard, i perked up when I could see it. Hope. There was hope in his eyes; and I swore to myself internally that come the Plains or Heavens’ fall, i would make this work for them both. Even if I had to challenge the Alpha myself. “It’s risky….but if it does work-“ “then you and Tasha will still get your dream of being a family; but I need to know Gareth, are you ready for that? Because if we do this…” I paused, and looked around the rest of the tavern, watching the patrons continue to dance and make merry with one another. “I doubt highly you’d be able to return to your life here in the village again.” “To The Pits with this place, as long as I have Tasha, that’s all I need to make me happy.” Cracking a mischievous grin, I raised my tankard to Gareth, surging with excitement and hope for the first time in a long time. “Then a toast; to friends, family, loved ones, and our victory!” At my words I watched Gareth produce a flask of his favorite whiskey; uncorking the tip and raising it to me in toast. “To friends; family, loved ones, and our victory my friend.”

Thank you for these. I can no longer afford a gaming PC and this has provided the nostalgia I crave.

I'll wont forget the first time I saw this game. I was at a game shop where you could play all kinds of pc games by the hr . And some dude was playing wow as a orc warlock somewhere in teldrassil using the eye of kilrogg in an elven tower and it for me was over from there I was sucked in for yrs to come.

A long time ago, when I first started playing WoW, the first character I made was a Dwarf Hunter. I remember seeing the Dwarf in the original vanilla cinematic and I instantly wanted to be one. In the mountains, in heavy clothes with his hunting friend bear. So I hop on and start questing and it was everything I dreamed of. After a while I get out of the beginner area towards Ironforge. Thats when I saw the Kharanos Inn. I was so amazed that such a place can exist in a game. The first time i was in there i remember being in there for maybe half an hour before i logged off. Some time later, all my friends join but they are all playing Horde. From the beginning i wanted to play Horde, but that trailer switched me to want to play a Dwarf. So i join them on Horde. Some time before hitting lvl 85, i get the nostalgic feeling. But now I was playing on official servers, not private like before. (I was a kid back then in a third world country, no way my parents would pay for my sub, or even have the money to if they wanted). I have no dwarf to switch to. Some time passes, and I get my rogue to lvl 85, this was back in Cata. I go back to that magnificent place. Numerous times I try to sneak in there, but the guards detect me or a player. But one time i succeed, and get into a corner of the inn, just where the stairs are when you enter to the right. Stuck there, i just enjoy the music and the ambient sound of the fire. I remember plugging off my headset, turn everything else off, my lights, my TV, i was alone that night. And i just remember lying there on chair, until i fell asleep. i will always love and remember you WoW, you are more than a game

[@ninia8728]

This + some ambient rain/fireplace sounds = perfect

[@mobydoux]

Not only this music makes me think about nostalgia and good old time on WoW but it also makes me FEEL these memories. Thank you very much !

[@kitty5308]

One of the best...I love the music and ambience sounds of this game. And I love this game. Thank you.

[@cc_the_vet]

Having quit video games all together in pursuit of a strictly spiritual path, I will say that even tho my addiction to gaming has ceased to exist, the fact that a lot of amazing IP's create such beautiful music really helps during my meditations. Most times I meditate in silence, but when I need that extra ambiance video game music usually ends up on my playlists. I wish people would create music with the same passion that isn't for specifically a video game. All the more reason I am looking to pick up learning the Harp. Thank you for all of the great memories WoW. They were important stepping stones for me to achieve true peace and happiness.

[@amvlabs5339]

yeah yeah spiritual path whatever, can i have your gold before you come back next expansion like the condition lab monkey we all are?

[@joaopadua7134]

This is probably the most iconic music in all of wow with stormwind maybe coming close

[@Tgernos]

This is Gold! When wow classic comes out i can't wait to just take a break from leveling and get Cozy reflect on my char and just...stay and relax
