Hellfire Peninsula - Burning Crusade Music

[@ssintesseessentiss6263]

Hellfire Peninsula's sky was possibly the best sky i've seen in all games.

[@Altermerea]

Nagrand, Blade's Edge Mountains and Netherstorm have also this skybox, just with clouds or storms.

[@Julian-tf5rb]

I must agree with you... If I had been god.... Let's just say the night's sky would look a whole lot more interesting!

[@boyd1998]

Remember when you saw your screen shaking, you looked behind you, and you saw the Fel Reaver, having a Skull where it's level is supposed to be, and you would totally freak out? Yep...

[@Pods_Vids]

until quite recently i absolutely refused to quest in hellfire peninsula because of i was so scared of fel reaver :P

[@PuellaMagiHomuraAkemi]

@jason994 quite recently? its so casual now you can prolly solo it, just like you can kill lvl 10s as lvl 1 *yawns*

[@Anudorini-Talah]

@@PuellaMagiHomuraAkemi you still play that game? *yawns*

[@PuellaMagiHomuraAkemi]

@@Anudorini-Talah Up to WOTLK its an experience that never gets old or boring, neither does it look or play outdated while it is still working out better than most MMOs

[@quintinsmith10]

Yes! my first expansion that I had my own account (played on my dads in Vanilla) I was always SO scared of the Fel Reaver!

[@irllcd13]

How the hell can Fel Reavers be so sneaky?

[@DantesonofSparda85]

+irllcd13 I'm still trying to figure that out...I mean C'MON there's gotta be some clunking when that thing walks

[@Anudorini-Talah]

@@DantesonofSparda85 Earth shakes from enough distance and the roaring sound combined with the crackling ambient sound overtone a simple dumb metal foot step, its not like hes doing jump style

[@pusillirex]

Where is the part where the fel reaver makes a "WHOOOOOOOOOOOO"

[@Asterenn]

The music of this zone gives a very empty vibe. But thats the point. A lot of people complain about this zone being so empty despite its great size, but the purpose of the zone is to act as a wasteland, as it is the place in outland that houses the most demonic influence. Not my favorite zone of bc, but a fantastic zone anyway!

[@Muggums4life]

I started playing 3 or 4 months before the launch of BC, so even though technically I started in Vanilla, I had no idea what I was doing. I picked the game up randomly one day without any knowledge of the warcraft universe and just started playing. It wasn't until a month after the launch of BC did I make a group of friends (in game) that taught me how to play the real way (instead of just grinding mobs cause what are quests?) and I gamed with them for years after that. I remember finally making it to Karazhan which was my first raid ever. However I was always jealous of the players who got to see SSC and TK so me and my closest friend at the time joined a guild and I was lucky enough to see all of SSC and TK and most of Black Temple until I quit for a few months (because my computer became shit, If I logged out in Shattrath I had to have a GM relocate me lol) until returning after the launch of Sunwell, however I wasn't in a guild so I didn't get to see that raid. It wasn't until WoTLK did I get serious again about raiding, after gearing up in Naxx with a semi-hardcore guild I remember applying and getting into a US top 20 guild and raided all through out Ulduar, TOC and heroic Icecrown with them (fancy server first titles). I quit after Icecrown became a grind. I decided to come back in Cataclysm, played for a few months, and it just wasn't the same game :( I tried really hard to enjoy it but I couldn't. I was tempted to come back for Warlords of Draenor (as another "outland" intrigued me) but people have told me it's a disaster. I don't think I'll play the game again, however every summer I always have the "urge" as summer was when I got my most playtime in, so I come to these videos to fix my craving. Sorry for the huge text post haha, had to get it out.

[@oldmordim]

Oooh, what is that? a Fel Reaver? oh shiiii.....

[@warbosspapasmurf]

I remember during bc when.i came here and I'm like "why the hell is the ground saking" i turn around and I'm like "holy fuuuuck" then I ran my ass off"

[@Stonezorz]

The moment we all stepped through the Dark Portal was fantastic, best start to any expansion I have ever played maybe

[@DalarionLol]

2:11 emotions

[@Spinneret69]

DalarionLol YAS BITCH

[@quintinsmith10]

YES! This is the part that reminds me the most of Hellfire Peninsula!! the nostalgia...

[@adamthegreat2312]

I remember back in the day, when I quested here and all of the sudden FEL REAVER! I was like WTF and started to scream and tried to ran away (I did, but he was so fukin big and scary, also the screen shaked)

[@seungyup4]

Adam Sambol yeah, we all did. lol.

[@MrKrashmoney]

I remember going around this area, and having the music that comes on around 5:54 playing. I happened to be in an area with no enemies, and I remember just stopping to take in the sights. Looking up in the sky at all the different stars, that giant green nebula thing in the sky, that fricken planet...it was all so alien to what I knew from wow. Such a surreal experience. Blizzard were such experts at making good atmosphere in their games.

[@115Ander511]

I still remember my first time when I went through Dark Portal... I was like "Where...the...hell...am... I..." and whole time looking at sky. TBC was really best expansion. That passion, friendship, war... yeah it's just game but... it has some kind of magic... I can't explain it but you know what I mean for sure :)

[@blizzard902]

I remember the hours before the expansion was released. So many dead corpses, and skeletons laying everywhere in front of the portal.

[@jellyfrosh9102]

blizzard902 as opposed to living corpses.

[@aplaguedoctor406]

+Jellyfrosh Plenty of living corpses in WoW, I would say :P

[@blackbke]

I remember not liking the atmosphere when I first set foot in Outland because it was so vastly different from the Tolkien-alike vanilla WoW that I had become to love so much. But eventually TBC became my favourite WoW experience because it was such a polished and enjoyable release on all fronts while still keeping it challenging. The Hellfire Peninsula score stuck to me the most, probably because it was the first thing you saw and heard when walking through the dark portal on that momentous release on January 16th, 2007. With no zones or events being phased at that time, it was pretty much rush hour in this zone those first moments. I decided not to play TBC classic to preserve my fond memories. After all, nostalgia can only be enjoyed for things that are in the past. Reliving it is next to impossible because, all things equal, we got 15 years older and are experiencing life in a different way.

[@maksphoto78]

Of all things about Hellfire Peninsula, I discovered that you can fish there (if fishing in WoW is your thing). It's those tainted pools with infernals.

[@Roboglenn387]

If you played this expansion at launch, that moment when you first stepped through the Dark Portal into Outland, there was no way to describe that feeling. And the zone being chocked full of people, even new Blood Elves and Draenai. It's something that gets repeated in some form every expansion but this was the first, it sticks with you. And finding groups for Hellfire Ramparts and Blood Furnace was super easy those first days too.

[@raulpardomorales7994]

I wish I could live in this world.

[@morrig82]

stepping through the portal while others still had to wait for their BC copy getting shipped - then seeing that there was a huge battle between lvl "skull" daemons and combined forces going on.... vanish - shit shit shit dont aggro, dont aggro - ah there to the right is my first quest - and an amazing time in an amazing expansion began

[@HacksignKT]

yeah those were good times.

[@Ellthom]

If Fel Reaver could be a class it would be a rogue, because you never see them coming until its too late.

[@Erzkreutz]

for me the pinacle of world of warcraft feels. the atmosphere is unmatched up until today.

[@FenrirFrostborn]

the otherworldly feel when you enter outland and then the sweeping majesty of its scope hits you with this music.

[@odyssey21thcentury31]

Music means so much for memories, I can remember the mood I had, the fun, and the gameplay experience. I just hope that Blizzard will succeed in the coming ''universal platform'' which is mobile gaming

[@Ultra_Riku]

I remember my internet was out for 4 days so I had the game...but could not play lol. probably a good thing I avoided the lag. I was totally blown away when I got to outland. The music was perfect for getting that "new world" feeling to the area. never got that with the other expansions sadly

[@CaptainPrice01]

I'm with most people here that the first time I went through the gate and saw the huge battle before me with the vast desert landscape stretching out into the distance was something that I'll never forget. I have always loved this place. Loved fighting with miners trying to get all the Fel Iron before they did. Good Times

[@mattiik]

hellfire was a great start to a great expansion, everything looked and sounded very cool

[@jenstolsma9983]

The big horn/trumpet part is the best, it's so iconic.

[@soojason2012]

really miss this. started playing wow in 2006/07 . miss out on vanilla and started on tbc , my first toon was a troll shaman . played on thaurissan server back in the days. ganking on summoning stone... the good times

[@noctusowl]

keep an eye on the Fel Reaver

[@Nokterian]

Going through the portal and going on a taxi mount to your first quest in hellfire peninsula it is still awesome. This music gives me the goosebumps everytime!

[@xulore4403]

I can't wait for Classic WoW to drop, going BC baby!

[@ReckoningGD]

I have a lot of friends who never listened to the WoW soundtrack(s) even once. They had been playing for years but couldn't tell Durotar music from Elwynn Forest, or Orgrimmar from Stormwind for that matter. They just didn't know, they had never heard it. For me today, the music of a loved game is like a rollercoaster through time. Touching all of the great memories you have, giving you a glimpse back into a lost time. Lost but not forgotten. Best years of my life.

[@irllcd13]

I don't know how the hell those things can be so stealthy.

[@paradhoax]

Omg I remember entering the peninsula following my cousin who knew better than me and how scared I was to be killed by the mobs behind the door lol

[@Xapam]

In time: "hahahaha this place is so cool, I'm loving up leveling here and-" *VROOOOM* Fel Reaver smashed you.

[@Abriel87]

I remember day one on my server, all those people rushing through the portal. There were even some poor people that suddenly found themselves in the middle of the demons because of the lag... The area was hardly playable during the first few days except late at night when most others were in bed. Those first days really changed my life for some time, play at night, sleep during daytime. It was so much fun.

[@clarabellen]

"Did the screen just shake? Why is it shaki..." *Rever screech* "Oh god nooooo!" *dead* Welcome to Hellfire Peninsula.

[@hito6464]

Wrrrooooooooorrrrr

[@Aeren69g]

"WEEEERRRRROOOOOOWWWWWOOOORRRRR!" "Run!!1!!one1!!wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"

[@kesasika]

I remember coming to Hellfire peninsula for the first time. The boring old UBRS and scholomance runs that the game had become was finally gone and the game became actually fun to play. This music is like a time capsule. I'm about to turn 17 again with all those new friends and a proper raiding guild.

[@Hereson]

A new place, a new begin. You start enjoying doing the quests in Hellfire where the Hellboars are roaming free, where meteors rain upon the darkest areas and where the Fel Reavers are thirsty for blood... Then, suddenly the grounds are shaking immensely. You look at the sky... No Hellboars... You turn around... A wild Fel Reaver appeared!

[@senifil]

I remember playing BC the night it was released. Walking through the portal the first time and experience the amazing outland visuals combined with this music. Hearing the music still gives me nerd chills after all the years and brings back good memories. Really fun times.

[@Xapam]

One of the many things that made World of Warcraft a great game is their OST. The feeling of a place, I mean music and scenary mixed makes a amazing atmosphere that just WoW has. And, man, Hellfire Peninsula was a nice area. When you just across the Dark Portal and look those guards fighting with those waves of demons is great. Up leveling in Hellfire was a nice thing, too. With a feeling of a new dangerous world, with fire emerging from the ground and that stream of nether energy in the sky...

[@panpala]

at 8:00, you can ear the beginning of the diablo 3 main theme. At first, part of this soundtrack was for the first iteration of diablo 3 but was taken into burning crusade, as well as many others soundtracks for some reasons (Auchindoun is another good example). Then, the unused part of this soundtrack (called Lord, you can find it on youtube) ended in the released version of diablo 3. Uelmen was very unhappy of this because the soundtrack wasn't finished and had a lot of issues...

[@ryan8281]

I wish modern WoW music was more subdued and atmospheric like this music rather than the big and boomy shit we get now.

[@mz_emmet]

i'm so glad i discovered this game before it died

[@FiendMatadorSlayerOfNoobs]

and thus,after me and my guild helped drive the Burning Legion bakc into the dark portal,TBC launched,We all stepped through,all of us with many parties made of guild members.We looked on..and behold,we had come to Outland,the shattered remains of once-proud Draenor.I remember also running down the stairs and saying'How bout it?Adventure time!' My guild responded with a spam of/cheer.And then we were off,to fight the threats of this new world...and needless to say,the first one was a fel reaver,who owned us,so badly.GOOD LORD! Memories.xD

[@Skandalos]

The music alone is worth it to play this game for a while. I pity every lover of music who never played wow. Of course its not the music alone. The music and the design of these awesome zones create a magic Ive never encountered before.

[@KingofSims84]

The second I walked into the fiery lands of hellfire. I stopped and listened to the beauty of the music. Tears filled my eyes as I smiled, Looking up to the stunning skies with the stars and the planets... ...Until I got Fel Reaver'd

[@Cloonie14]

JUst close your eyes and feel the meteors hit the ground, amazing place TBC i miss you ;(

[@arnulfcoquin4067]

it's coming back sooon :p

[@Abriel87]

WoW may be nearly dead now, but the memories of its glory days will last forever. Damn those Fell Reavers...

[@Saugusari11]

godamn I miss those times,I was a no-lifer I admit,but the game gave me everything I needed,fun,friends,and sometimes a knowledge and it let my imagination work,now few years after I still ocassionally tend to play for a month ,but unfortunatelly real life comes into play,and often it makes me sad :S

[@Lil_Taiivaaseen]

The first time I looked at this sky..."Holly shit I am so small"

[@lewisbennett9794]

I didn't even play during TBC, and I still feel something while listening to this.

[@MrMikeMike135]

really miss the old wow. everything went to shit when cataclysm came out. well... honestly when wotlk came out. raid finder, flying mounts = no world pvp, everything is ruined now. thanks blizz.

[@necroplastful]

cataclysm was still decent. But Mop and Legion destroyed this game.

[@Bluemushroom1]

You forgot WOD

[@MarshalHopalop]

"Everything is ruined." Hilarious. What a fun mindset to have.

[@jenstolsma9983]

Hey Necroplastful, how did Legion contribute to your vision of a destroyed game?

[@JohnRock14]

True, I remember being on the lookout for fel reavers all the time and actually having a sense of panic when one was close. Now the mobs are easy to kill and you can just fly away at them levels.

[@ChanceTheCheetah]

This music is awesome not only for nostalgia but just cause its awesome.

[@19wim82]

The sound when a Fel Reaver made when he was nearby... Still scares the crap out of me... -_-

[@Blazing234]

I believe Hellfire was one of the most interesting quest areas in World of Warcraft when it came out.

[@scorpirus]

this place was a zoo with everyone and their grandma in the zone that first day, ahh how i miss it :)

[@Nokterian]

Oh yes so crowdy you could do a quest! But old memories live on and TBC was my favorite expansion. Coming through the portal was awesome!

[@duomaxwell1398]

Seeing the fel reaver for the first time was so epic!

[@zilvis1140]

oh these good old times :(

[@blizzard902]

I rememeber the day before BC came out. Everyone from our realm was pvping outside the portal all night until release

[@CheesecakeCzar]

When you entered Hellfire Penninsula back in BC, you suddenly felt like a big boy. Why not, you were in Outland, and this harsh landscape was ready for you.

[@xoraessan8240]

If you are a TBC player and you don't feel anything while listening to this music then I ensure you that your hearth is nothing but a stone.

[@dk3212]

Dude that fel reaver bitched slapped me into eternity so many times!

[@redplague]

I agree with this. I've just been playing SWTOR and this is exactly the thing it lacks..

[@Masupups]

The game evolves to meet new needs and gameplay styles. I've enjoyed WoW every step of the way, but unfortunately, times change, and you won't get to relive Vanilla/BC/Wrath forever. Blizz wouldn't get NEARLY as many sales if they didn't mix it up once in a while. But there's always this... stone-age or nostalgic feel of running through Vanilla and BC dungeons in this modern day. Like there's been so many people through that the place seems ancient...

[@sgrisancich]

I remember the launch day like it was yesterday’s. Hour wait times for server, almost impossible to tag fel orcs for the bloods with my affliction lock. Fun times

[@tttc]

Because when I needed to level fast, my own choice of music kept me more motivated and focused.

[@TheDeathFlag]

Oh my god, this brings back memories.

[@MinecraftPlanetChan]

nothin like steppin through that portal to another land and seeing a huge battle against level ?? demons

[@xSheathixx]

The feeling of danger is really nonexistent nowadays. Its a real shame.

[@Diguez]

Still remenber the first time I jumped into the dark portal. Passed loading screen.. I couldn't believe the real size of it. I looked at it for 5 secs.. Flying to the top of it with flying mounts was good ;(

[@lewisbennett9794]

100% agree. I feel sorry for those who play WoW without the music. They're missing a huge part of the game.

[@apanst]

You will never step out of the portal for the first time again.

[@Massflavour]

i remember the first day, hellfire was crowded as shit. then i remember the third day, i remember thinking i was making good progress at level 62... then someone zipped by me on an epic flying mount.

[@sobjeck]

it was amazing how something as huge and as loud as Fel Reaver could sneak up behind you and smash you to smithereens.. i got my revenge, though.. every time i pass through HP, I pay him a visit

[@iliabashel]

World of Warcraft The Burning Crusade One of the Best Game of all Time. P.S. R.I.P. WoW.

[@Bliss..]

True. tbc was the best expansion of them all, and the last one in my book.. The rest of them I like to see as not a continuation of the same game, but a completely different game at a completely different tier..

[@iced5730]

blissB2 Why was TBC so great? WotLK was easily the peak of WoW, at least you weren't forced to start in the same exact zone every time you made it to the expansion levels. It also had the greatest raids, ICC and Ulduar, which are arguably better than Black Temple and equal to Karazhan.

[@Wowmusicable]

***** I totally agree, Wotlk was the peak of Wow!

[@Bliss..]

***** I said in my book. ;P I am sorry I don't have the time now to explain why I liked it most. It doesn't mean I hated WOLTK, but it didn't compare for me.

[@LukasKopca]

***** true, WotLK was last expansion of true WoW. After WotL came end of WoW for me.

[@Soddarkryder]

"CHOOOOOOOOO!!!" - Fel Reaver, 2007 EDIT: Also, I see people really like the tune at 5:54, but my favorite is 2:10 - it sets the stage perfectly, when you see the desolate place entirely dominated by the Hellfire Citadel and millions of red orcs.

[@NorthernGoblin]

First time I went through the portal, looked at the flight NPC and thought "nah, I'll go explore myself." Mounted up, charged down the steps. Suddenly realised why he was put there >.>

[@CaptainPrice01]

Also the music give a real sense of adventure. For me it does anyway.

[@Perais1337]

I felt exactly the same when i went through the portal :) I really miss this times :(

this game is still alive with 7.5 milion players

[@NattRavn]

Jacek Soplica he is talking about a different game. one that doesn't exist anymore. one that cannot exist anymore because we, the players of that time, have grown up ourselves, The game he talks about defined itself not only by its brilliant design, but more so by the generation of players inhabiting it. It is something we can return to in memory. that's why most of us are here, but won't return to wow.

[@Anehum]
