[@davida472]

After they kill you because rogues gang up on mages before rogues attack themselves. We rogues see mages as fresh meat, but also to avoid from blowing our cover. I usually waited for one rogue to attack and right after he kills the mage I kill him and then other rogues join in lol.

[@MrTotallyRad]

In my humble opinion, this is the magnum opus of WoW zones. Everything about this zone was just nailed. Excellent quest structure, excellent aesthetic (dangerous jungle filled with predatory animals and murderous trolls?), and it was the first zone that really allowed full fledged PvP engagement. Grom'gol felt like a refuge, and Booty Bay was just this perfect lawless Tortuga-esque vibrant shanty town. Okay, gonna go fire up classic and run around.

[@Anudorini-Talah]

Gaps, gulches, hills to hide on. Flat areas. It had all scenarios. I wish the whole of wow could have this giant jungle. Splitt it fictionally with some faction borders and outposts and add pvp events in these borders. If people would combine they could make the best. Just like in real world. But ego is preventing it. Everyone wants own idea, own appreciation

[@jlsabinas8578]

I still remember mornings in Stranglethorn. A good place to start your morning! Keep your head on a swivel, though!

[@avs-]

I'm at that critical moment in my life where I'm not sure whether playing wow was a waste of time and life chances or it was worth my years. What is certain though is that it's beautiful.

[@Relbl]

WoW wasn't a waste of time. Honestly it probably prepared you for the proper modern era where everyone has to community digitally and being cool with that. Also remember that money isn't everything and that your in-game experiences were likely more rewarded than IRL could've been at the time. I miss it badly and my kids now and envious of my memories of the Classic-WoW era

[@Starcraft2Sonic]

If something has intrinsic value to you and you mentioned is beautiful - then yes it was worth it. Perhaps it was just what you needed at the time - and that's why you were attracted to it. Now you can hear the sound of your childhood/teenage years playing in the background. As for life chances - it's never too late. Whatever it is you want - it's yours to grab it. Have a good day brother

[@IndividualFreedomNet]

@Aleph Va So, how do you think about it 3 years later? I quit playing after Pandaria, but had my peak during Burning Crusade and gradually played less afterwards. I played so much back then that I never seriously played games afterwards, it was enough for the rest of my life. :-) Now 7 years later I really think it was a very special and unique experience in life and I mention it as one of my favorite things I did in my life. So my conclusion is that it was not a waste of time for me personally. I regularly come back listening to these soundtracks, especially while I'm working. But for me it's not repeatable and I don't even try, that's why I didn't seriously play any computer games since then. Nowadays I prefer to spend my time learning a bit Koine Greek, so I tried to decipher a few verses of your profile haha...

[@antoinebrg6299]

Power on our lives is stolen from us IRL then the system is selling us a virtual one, a fake copy made from 0 and 1 that reduces our desire to its representation, all of that to make us bear with our condition, take it as eternal and never stand again for a real and human life. That merchant system is using our passions, our emotions, our thirst of discovering and desire of community, that's why it feels good AND bad at the same time my dude.

[@LordOfSweden]

A thing is only a waste of time if you did not enjoy it or if it's not leading to enjoyment :P For example working is not always fun, but you do it for money. Practising something hard is not always fun but you do it because in the end you will be able to play guitar. And some things you just do for enjoyment like eating a cake or reading a book on the beach or talking bs with your friends. WoW is that. If you did not enjoy it, then it's a waste of time. A waste of time is something that gives you no enjoyment and leads you down a bad path or does not lead to enjoyment later.

[@SuperLordHawHaw]

Though I had to quit WoW because it was a huge time suck I do miss the pretty scenery and the ambiance. Half the fun was just wandering around to the music.

[@KoiandDragon]

That's exactly it. WoW became my second life. It was getting to the point where it became my only life. The people.. The experiences.. The moments I shared with others and experienced in this game can never be replaced.

[@Anudorini-Talah]

That’s what wow is supposed to be. An alternative world where you live.

[@dfuher968]

Thats what Ive never understood in those, who just wanted to rush through lvling and get to endgame. The journey is the point. I started playing to relax from a lot of stress in my workplace, where young fresh me did not have a great working environment. I still play 20 years later, tho in other ways. But its still the journey, that matters to me, even tho I raided in a top raiding guild for over 10 years. Now Im back to just enjoying and taking it slow. I love going back to Classic, even if I cant quite catch the old memories. And I always went exploring. Every new zone I came to, I went to explore every single nook and cranny. I never understood those ppl, who claim, that after lvl30 or so u have to grind 2-4 lvls every 10 lvls, coz theres not enough quests. I never had that problem, coz I actually explored! Even when Questie came out, and most ppl exclaimed in exitement over all those quests, they had been missing for so many years, I think, I could count on 1 hand the quests, I hadnt found on my own. Man, now I really want to go play some Classic 😁😁

[@thetrewsfan]

My times in Azeroth are probably forever over and the old feeling of wonder and adventue will never come back, but yout videos make me reexperience all those feeling and help me calm down and get focused on my studies. Those Kind of videos are what I've been looking for for a long time. Thank you for your work, I hope you'll get back to Warcraft-stuff after you are done with Overwatch!

[@duven3040]

I don't want to be selfish, but i actually think that the nostalgia hits most hardly the children who grew up playing wow, such as me... I was about 6 yrs old when i ran into STV and getting killed right off while crossing the Duskwood - Stranglethorn bridge as an Alliance player... Rard was my name, Rogue was I. Nostalgia is the best, yet the hardest hitting thing

[@krauser3806]

Does it hurt... like a dagger in the back?

[@szerelem5740]

lol, I feel you man.. I could never go back although the amazing memories.. This game is required your life.

[@-Rook-]

Stranglethorn was like a WoW character rite of passage, it always felt like I was shipping out to dangerous places where there wasn't a horde town or city around the next corner to take a break at. Instead around every corner there were angry trolls, deadly mobs and lots of monkeys either scratching their armpits in a tree or walking around with swords and fireballs.

[@dfuher968]

Idd. Even without PvP its a deadly place, especially if u try to run to Booty Bay early!

[@Corristo89]

The music perfectly encapsulates that sense of wonder, mystery and unease. Alliance players typically came here after questing in Duskwood and PvP wasn't really a thing until then. Also the open spaces and many obstacles (trees, hills, ruins, etc.) made it possible for you to charge into an enemy and suddenly be confronted with three, just because those three trolls were hiding behind a tree.

[@AquasJuggernoid]

These videos are amazing for studying. I've been off WoW for years and unfortunately will never go back, but the music composition is beautiful and perfect for concentrating! Thanks for uploading these great videos!

[@v.e.l.a.a]

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

@@doubleg8279 MMO's are huge time sync, which isn't as available as adult as when you're in the 14-25 years range. That's one the reasons I never went back. There could be other reasons, like Blizzard being on the downfall for many years now, the controversies and scandals involving their bosses, and the fact that many of WoW's MMO mechanics and gameplay elements are very dated by now.

[@donnieg.6976]

Exploration was my favorite part of this game and STV did not disappoint. It was such a contrast to dreariness of Duskwood, though the two shared a border. You really felt the change in atmosphere once you crossed that threshold. I was so out of my depth when I ran to Booty Bay, but it was thrilling at the same time. So much fun was had.

[@dfuher968]

Ikr? I always did STV while lvling, still do in Classic. I love the place, but ofc I dont play on PvP servers, that wouldnt be as relaxing! I still remember the first time, I entered STV in early 2005 on my first char. I was only lvl27, too low for STV, but I had gotten a quest to go to Ratchet, and silly me figured, it would be easier to go through STV and take the boat than running all the way through Darkshore, Ashenvale and Barrens. I mean, there was a road for me to follow all the way, how could that go wrong, right? Ah, that sweet naivete. By the time I was maybe 20% of the way, I was getting insta killed by wildlife on the middle of the road, as quickly as res timer allowed it, I only got as far as I could go from my corpse. And then a lvl50-something came riding through and saw me, asked what I was doing in STV at my lvl, and then offered to bodyguard me the entire rest of the way. This total stranger took time to just slowly go through STV with me joined to his hip, killing everything that came after me, like I was a supermagnet. And then he even gave me the quick tour of Booty Bay, fp, bank, boat. Those were the days! Also, yes, ofc I got the needed respect for STV. I had no need to repeat that 🤣🤣

My all time favorite zone, period. The jungle, the sun and the pirates. Booty Bay should've been a major point of interest. Back in the day it was crowded and I really loved visiting it. Now it's not that much visited but still has a very special place in my heart. The music that plays in this whole zone is fantastic, one of the best in the entire game in my opinion.

[@Comet701]

I mostly remember the music from doing the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganzas on a relaxing Sunday afternoon. Yes, there was a lot of PvP, but that made having friends only better.

[@RobCardIV]

docile yet dangerous ! well done. i always imagined this song "should feel special" but i didnt think so. until I started the video. then i could understand what it was.. . there was a time when, finally hearing this music ment that, you were nearing the level cap, you FINALLY were high enough for a mount, you were almost near the high end. this was the music that was introducing you to the later parts of the game. i could feel that and remember that, after hearing the music. and for that feeling, it was a special soundtrack. simple but meaningful.

I started playing wotlk wow when i was 6 years old, i didnt really knew a single word in english so my dad helped me out in terms of creating character, using the ,,options" tool etc.. I always liked guys with knives so i made myself a human rogue. I wanted to do a night elf rogue but i didnt knew how to switch from one race to another so i just locked in my Human called ,,Rard". Yeah, randomized name and what? I loved my character so much, doing all these quests in Elwynn, accidentally passing the south river and met a bunch of ?? spiders and wolves haha i loved it. I also remember how i randomly ran onto Hogger and i was really confident about killing him. Shamefully, it was the hard to kill-before Cataclysm hogger so i had no chance, and i joined a group of literaly 4 mages and we destroyed that suckass. Goldtooth was also really hard to kill, not because he was hard, it was cause when you entered the mine, you accidentally pulled about 3 of these kabolds and rogue was very bad for killing multiple enemies at the same time... I stopped playing wotlk at about lvl 42, remembering the old Stranglethorn, it were some great times running the first time into Booty bay, being ganked all the time and accidentally started attacking some horde guy and being demolished by the booty bay guards. Great times. Now im 14 and i dont regret a single minute passed while playing WoW! 17 Now, its actually not painful at all read this text after the younger me :D

It was about 2005 or 2006 back then, i was about 3 to 4 years old.

I remember looking for Nightblade for ages! So many memories.

[@CastleShield]

The Stranglethorn Vale. You entered it as a boy. You left it as a man.

[@Anudorini-Talah]

With ptsd

[@iainadams9300]

God I wish I could play old WoW for the first time again

[@drphillive6366]

Best zone in all of early Wow, hands down. You'd never know what to expect! Second major zone (right after Hillsbrad) where PvP took place.

[@mattatattat508]

man the experience of being a lvl 15 horde character and being like "I wonder where this ship in ratchet goes" and end up exploring a cool new area whilst trying to avoid people ganking you was amazing

[@leosippola5874]

Prob one of my favorite zones from classic i just love the feel of the zone

[@Sapienrex]

I remember rock climbing to the high point in Westfall and looking down on STV. I couldn't wait to go there. When I finally could, I was ganked for the first time,within 5 minutes of being there by a max level tauren Horde. Watch in ghost form as he danced, and waited for alliance players to show up, that turned into an epic WPvP battle. Great times.

[@morthrallnr.1318]

True 😂😂

[@lostfound2767]

It was me

[@Vanderyn]

When you're doing Kurzen compound quests and the bushes start speaking orc...

[@hruskab1400]

This is awesome dude :D I had to write a story for school about jungle adventures so i turned on this and it helped me a lot :) thanks man :D

[@myuthukhyla5367]

Every time i leveled a character i was happy to reach the level to enter stranglethorn..one of my favorite areas.. I remember the first character i leveled there and i was standing next to a full Zul Gurub raid group. I also dropped the fiery axe (epic random drop) with strenght on it and i was wearing it as a hunter :)

[@SenyaEldarov]

hunter weapon mem?

[@robertward949]

Remember the skirmishes that sometimes would erupt between guild raid groups preparing to raid Zul'Gurub that instead ended up in all out war and no raid. Icing on the cake, was the time a belf hunter forgot to get the poison from the first boss cleansed from his pet before putting it away. Led to a full blossomed pandemic on the alliance side when he summoned it in Stormwind. The poison spread by proximity and spread if not cleansed and the pet started heroically spreading... Blizz tried hotfixes, restarting servers eventually having to do a hard reset, restoring the game to the version before the poison was introduced. Eventually patching the problem away. After resurrecting death was pretty much a given no matter, as the taverns where full most caught the plague instantly. Soon most tried gy ress to avoid crowds, but ofc those where also filled with others trying the same thing. Never before or after, have I seen a so crowded gy. As the only cure for the debuff was cleansing, which only at the time Paladins had access to. Many a Paladin died when going to dense areas trying to cure those infected. Fun times

[@ast0rmrage670]

at 5:00 a random player jumps into the water xD

[@JaSe5000Q]

A St0rmRage haha

[@ItsAkusti]

The best BG of WoW.

[@znubionek]

kuuurłaa, kiedyś to było. kiedyś to było

[@alarion9183]

I don't see people who mentioned that 12:46 - is a fantastic part of this soundtrack... However it is for me.

[@dudders___1684]

24:06 was always my favorite part when I would level here

[@sbabach]

In my honest opinion, one of the best zone music in the game! Miss the time when I would sneak around clothers in Booty Bay with my druid and then get busted by the goblin bruisers!

[@Dorunr21]

I listen to wow music and read the comments What I can say is that I only see nostalgia! We all want to go back in time and play world of warcraft As if we were living in an unreal world of beautiful but more beautiful than reality

[@FelNoobs]

I even played Warcraft Classic bringing back memories but it was not like before with your friends and it is the first time you see the area and there are many, many players with you on both sides Now the players are few and I play alone all my friends left the game after Burning Crusade If I had a wish, I would go back in time to 2007, not to restart the game without my friends and millions of other players.

[@GeniialesCoOko]

I just love all your Videos. As I don't really find time to play the game I spent my whole teenage period on anymore, it's a great opportunity to feel nostalgic. What do you think about making a zul aman video, maybe including ghost lands. I loved zul aman incredibly, the music and this whole atmosphere was just gorgeous, especially with the last boss yelling through the instance to make you feel the urgency of your mission. Would love to see more raid/instance videos too, as these are probably places that I spend the most emotional evenings in. Love you

[@WojciechGlapa]

Real nostalgy... Thank You. I would love to live there!

[@samaelj5735]

One of my favorite zone.. interesting quests, and good battles.

[@RandyOrlok]

the best zone in the game. wish whole world of warcraft was like this. ive spent months of my life in this epic guerilla war zone. whenever i hit 30 on a character going to stv for pvp and hunting down the opposite faction was always in priority for me. my best memories are from 4 years ago, me and my friend played on molten-wow wotlk and continuously went to stv on our undead warrior and death knight, we ended up twinking on level 79 and committing mass genocide and attacking darkshire every friday, pissed off level 80s couldn't beat us until they started outnumbering us

[@orgasplosion]

If you went there at 30, you'd be more the prey than the predator

[@CoachDexterMo]

Yeah... What Kamo said. Maybe you could kill a few tigers, panthers and sharks at level 30, but that's about it. If you wander in Kurzen's domain or get trapped by those Trolls, you'll "be more the prey than the predator"...

[@YoureSoCreezy]

Dude.... I remember you... I swear i killed like 3 level 79s in darkshire before!

[@valtersgarjans8161]

(Part 1 of my story, which was liked by Everness and is on his other video of Tavern Music and Ambience, called 'The Threat of The South'.) We rode out to Southshore the next night, after drinking and talking of plans, and rules. I was told not to hate the dwarves, despite not even hating them in the first place, just because of some Colonial war. Gerthud was also told this, but Himli didn't have to be told twice to not be a racist idiot. Turns out, the Kirin Tor mage Ferren, is the 12th advisor to King Nel'thaer Sunstrider, King of Quel'Thalas. The King has a total of 50 advisors, last I heard. So being the 12th is a great honor and prestigious job, as well as being a Kirin Tor mage, of course. We got together just fine. As did I and Aleks, as we both didn't talk much, but we respected each other out of Duty to our King. Soutshore's walls were massive, as being the first to be hit in the conquest of the first King, Arathor. It was a normal Pine-wood fort, but after the conquest and siege of Southshore, it was rebuilt in to a stone fort, and grew to be one of the greatest bays in the Eastern Kingdoms, next to the likes of Gilneas City, menethil harbor and Booty Bay, which had a trade route between it and Southshore, which has made the Province of Hillsbrad very rich over the years since the colonization in the South. I, Aleks, Ferren and the Hammerstrong brothers went in through the main gate, not even questioned by the Guards, after they saw our armor. Some even bowed to me. Gerthud did not like this, it seemed, as I caught a glimpse of his glaring gaze when we stopped when we reached the bay. The Hammerstrong brothers were on their mountain rams, I, Aleks and Ferren were on Horse. Some commoners haven't even seen dwarves, or even such giant rams, before. They gawked in awe at us. Two knights, in armor of pretigious acenstry, a Kirin Tor mage and two Dwarves! A sight to behold... - Continued -

[@valtersgarjans8161]

(Part 2) We sailed for days. The Storm season was greatly upon us, as it felt we would topple over, even in the hours of peace and clear sunlight. The ship was called Dawnbroker, and at the break of 6th dawn, it sailed in to the Bay of Baroness Booty, a very wealthy Goblin. Booty was a nickname, though. Her full and real name was too long and too strange to bother with, even in her opinion. I, Aleks, Gerthud, Hammerstrong and Ferren finally got to move around with our feet. Ferren went off to somewhere, the two dwarves only followed us up until we passed the Inn. You can guess what happened next. "Finally, hm?" Aleks asked, smirking and I smiled back, nodding, before stepping up some small wooden steps and through a door. There were three persons there, one in the middle, short, green, long eared and nose, but boastful in very revealing wares, breast and rear size and a clear bigger than her hand flintlock. There were two bodyguards, dressed in white shirts and red pants, as well as medium quality black boots. Pirates. Aleks frowned at them, but I centered concentration on Booty, who smiled widely at us. "You two sugar lips must be the two who need to know what's going on? Well, first of all, welcome to Booty Bay, shooga'~. Second of all, don't fuck around here, and we'll be just fine." "My Baroness, was that a threat to two envoys of the Crown of Arathor?" "Yes." Everyone fell silent, before Aleks began. "Either way, we need you word on the caravan and men you shall gives u, My Lady." "Yup. Two big ol' tamed apes, with two big ol' jungle wood carriages, with all your stuff and the stuff that my men will be going with. These are my two lovable lieutenants. Ferdanad and Spike." The two goblin bodyguards nodded, Ferdanad smirking and Spike winking. We returned the polite gestures with short bows. "Either way, you guys probably want my take on what happened to... What was your colony called again?" "Stormwind." I said, somewhat glaring at her. "Yeah, Stromword. I think... it's Trolls." Aleks would visibly frown, deeply, but I would move a sub concious hand to my sword, glaring. "In what way could Forest Trolls build a ship and sail South?" "Not Forest Trolls, idiot... Jungle Trolls. They're all around us, in their ol' Ruins and what not." Aleks visibly shuffled around and sighed, putting his face in his right palm and gliding it down, brushing it. "Right... It seems that the hate flows through all kin..." - Continued -

[@EliteRvZ]

+Valters Garjans aye man finally found it. Keep it going, amazing so far. Cant wait to see to which ambience music video the story will take us next.

[@ismailyildiz2308]

Is there a Part 3, could you please link it or tell us where?

[@aaziikaaa2262]

Storyteller by The Inn hey man, are you okay?

[@somervillettv2272]

he passed away from a ligma in his leg :(

[@chesterstevens8870]

This game was my second home for many years of my adolescence.

[@beautyspaceonearth]

When you leveling your character and help your friend from enemies 😂❤ Childhood is there ❤

[@jazztastic2521]

I think Stranglethorn, Nagrand, and Sholazar were my three most visited places way back when I played. Had to get my hunting quests lol

[@alexbull4722]

God damnit. This is the one that got me. NOTHING was better than ganking STV as a level 30-40 warrior

[@caseyburnet]

Music that fits my quiet mornings with coffee. Just chill in the jungle.

[@retropragma]

This is one of my favorites, for sure!

[@1Buttonmasher]

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I love WoW's ambience... this is perfect.

[@Anudorini-Talah]

Are u a witch? 🧙🏻‍♀️

[@ethosaur]

Spent way too much time in this area, I always thought it was so much fun

[@DaveFallows]

I'm already getting nostalgic over the time I spent on Elysium (R.I.P) from June 8th to August 23rd last Summer, right before the birth of our first son. I managed to ding 60 that very day. :) Looking forward to WoW Classic - hopefully I find the time for it.

[@szerelem5740]

so chilling music. No wondering why I loved so much this game.

[@JungleGirl-Lookbook-ir4rq]

Fantastic work!
