Exodar - Music & Ambience - World of Warcraft

Once a satellite structure of the mighty Tempest Keep, the dimensional craft known as the Exodar was used by a group of draenei to escape their perilous home on Outland. After departing the shattered draenei world, the Exodar appeared above northern Kalimdor when a spectacular explosion ripped open the skies. The great vessel impacted on the shores of Azuremyst Isle, which has since become home to Outland’s refugee draenei. Following their dramatic landing, the draenei have utilized the remains of the Exodar to great effect, transforming it into a base of operations for their dealings on Azeroth.

The saddest part about WoW's great cities is the absence of people that once filled them.

[@Hypegreene05]

So true, just like Darnassus. Im on a low population server and when I go to Darnassus 99% of the time I'm the only one there. I remember when it used to have a big of activity, not like Stormwind but it was still active. I don't even like to go now because they switched the music to the sad one from the war of the thorns.

[@beccamaroney3782]

Hypegreene I agree with you about the music part, I mean it being switched to a sad one instead. When I was playing my mag'har orc shaman in the Sourhern Barrens I've switched it by listening to the original music on KZbin.

WoW music has always been an outlet for me when times are hard. There's a true joy to it, a real sanctuary. I have always felt that when I'm old, I hope to be able to get a hold of this music and just escape back.

Can't agree more. The best time as an avatar in this game. Wasn't so great for my real life, but totally worth it!

@@suonie fact

[@Monechetti]

Agreed. I spent 2005 - 2012 playing almost daily and wouldn't change it. Like Suonie said, wasn't great for my life, but all of these places feel so much like a part of my life experience. Listening to this music is both sad and happy.

[@hawkstrike18]

@@krukblood-axe3649 it's okay, not everyone likes perfection and magical places+music 😛 WotLK was the beginning of the "end" tho, just saying. Everything changed after it. And my main realm became empty in WotLK, so if I judged solely on personal experience (like you probably do, you can't really dislike the art of TBC.....), it'd be miles behind TBC. Love them both though. That's why I'll try to stay there forever when the lvl squish comes (fk endgame bs and gearing the same char over and over just to make it usable). Hopefully they won't kill twinking completely.

[@Pandalka]

Azuremyst Isle and the Exodar are two very good and professional pieces of meditation music. Writing soundtracks for games, good movies and animations is an art that surpasses making any other kind of music and it doesn't apply only to WOW.

[@szerelem5740]

This game requires your life... I spent so many days of my life playing with this game, It was so beautiful, and not regretting it at all, but I'm telling you guys, the life outside of WOW is even more beautiful when you are able to live your dreams.

[@TheMurlocKeeper]

Nah, it's shit! User interface is terrible, (no help whatsoever, not even a tutorial!) there's no flying mounts, there's no soundtrack, healing takes forever, and there's absolutely no magic! If there is, we're all OOM and can't do shit anyway. Also, it seems REALLY frowned upon if you go off and collect a dozen heads and then expect to get paid for it. People really seem to freak out for some reason... How am I supposed to make a killing in life, if killing is frowned upon? :P Makes lvling and gold production VERY difficult! This RL game sucks! Graphics are top notch though, gotta admit! Feels like you're really there! :P

[@ChrisStaff989]

I’ve lost great amounts of time wandering the world of Warcraft. Having stopped playing All games for over 4 years now I can easily say WoW was certainly the single greatest Gaming experience I’ve had. Mostly in the beginning as a young kid when every moment was Filled with wonder, amazement, adventure and false purpose. The music accounts for much of the atmosphere, and beauty of the game. Though I will never go back to gaming and certainly not WoW as I’ve grown past it and will never experience the wondrousness of games as a child would, I can certainly say that I will enjoy the beautiful soundtrack for as long as I live.

Probably will make a 20 minute video or something along those lines in the future. I have plans on doing a few smaller ones anyway, I will add Caverns to that list.

My suggestion for you is to make an ambience called Lordaeron that contains old hilsbrad music, culling the stratholme (maybe some music from warcraft 3?)... you know, something that would give listener the chills of being in an old kingdom of Lordaeron.

I look at the pan overs in this video and think, "Jeez, that did not age well." A shame Blizz never reinvested in the BC starting zones, show some progress, update the textures and polygons a bit. Now that Blizz has probably halted all development on WoW with their colossal scandal, I doubt we'll ever get to see that. Not to mention how Shadowlands homogenized the starting experience for everyone regardless of race.

[@ludiusmaximus]

I have always been wondering: how do you move the camera that slowly? Is it actually in the game or is this footage taken with some special model viewer? Thanks a lot for your videos!!

[@Everness1]

Thank you! For many older videos I was using a third-party software called Free Far Sight. It allowed me to detach the camera from my character and move it around freely, change field of view, set up a waypoint system, etc. Programs like this are against ToS, strictly speaking, but the main problem was the maintenance. So it stopped being supported sometime around the end of Warlords of Draenor. There is a number of ways you can achieve something similar, but I chose to focus on the sound side of these videos. Pretty postcard-style visuals are just a bonus.

[@ludiusmaximus]

Thanks for the quick reply! I completely understand that you are focusing on the sound. As a matter of fact I am mostly listening to your videos in the background while working. :-) However, would you mind sharing one of these other ways of achieving such slow camera panning, if you know how?

[@Everness1]

You can use older versions of said program on private servers. You can set up your own server and achieve the same results. You can export the entire in-game world into a model viewer and essentially recreate the zones this way. With high enough programming skill you can reverse engineer already existing solutions (Free Far Sight, for example, is/was open source) to use with the modern game client, or make a program like that from scratch. Personally, I don't think the amount of time and effort needed for any of it is worth it. Even the easiest way, recording footage on a private server, comes with a plethora of roadblocks. But it depends on your needs of course.
