The experience can only truly be achieved if my cpu and graphics card were 15 years older, that's what made it really hardmode. Not seeing a an Ice giant walking towards you until it's halfway down a hall that looks foggy because your computer sucks really ties the true Wotlk experience together.

tbh, just today first time hitting dalaran i realized they fixed the engine at some point cuz for ilke forever no amount of dosh could dish out 60+ fps. Oh and our server has like 5 layers ROFL

[@Remousamavi]

I remember playing WoW back in the old days, except I was more interested in lurking around exploring the world than fighting things and doing missions - it was hard cause of FoV and lag issues, getting cataported right into monsters 10x your level. I had a go on my newer comp recently and it's so weird being able to see half of Kalimdor from Nordrassil (not to mention being able to get Owl in a couple of weeks).

[@Craig_Narramoore]

Thats why all those 15 year old pcs went for sale on ebay.

The scene in a videogame that made me feel the emptiest in a "good" way. No final Battle. No huge Monster. Only the new lich king, sitting alone under the Sky.

[@Mr_Edwards_1995]

A king, ruling over his kingdom…a barren wasteland only filled with the undead and howling winds. What makes it sadder is in the book “Arthas:Rise of the Lich King” he was very caring for his people. He would spend time with the commoners. The people loved him.

[@sinisterwombat3128]

I put on the helm of domination when I spend a night with your mama, also pretty neat

[@Crustee0]

@@Mr_Edwards_1995 only played reign of chaos campaign as a child, even tho idk english very well the cutscenes, dialogue, and the missions made me somewhat sad. When i found out later how dark the story is it gives that "painful" feel when u read a good (instead of edgy) dark stories.

This was my absolute favorite expansion when it originally came out. I still remember how much fun it was to traverse Northrend. The music in this expansion was the best (IMO). Great video! I had a good chuckle at some of the fully truths from your trailer!

As someone who played Feral druid since the beginning, i feel attacked. I remember being basically the only one on the server doing it, but i still off-tanked in my guild raids

[@Djuntas]

Same, but to play a feral druid in wotlk willingly now is insane. Hardest spec by far ever in wow. And its even harder than what we knew it was due to new mechanics...Idol swapping, bear weaving etc. Feral druid in wotlk is so hard to play its only stupid to do it...Also balance druid is awesome in wotlk. Like, I played feral druid in TBCC, hard enough to do good with the energy helm thing, but wrath is much much worse.

[@bonanzabrandon6877]

As a WoW classic player, this video is so accurate and wholesome, I love it.

[@pavansonty1]

So much nostalgia!! Thanks for this honest trailers. I was a wow addict for ~6yrs between 2007-12. Played feral druid, frost mage and survival hunter. I quit after completing wotlk. Not sure what's with the game, even to this day, I feel equally proud about my real life achievements and my wow life achievements. Great game!!

[@MoonTiger88]

[@nielsjensen4185]

This was for me the best gameplay version of Arms. While numbers can easily be tweaked the gameplay design is a lot harder. It required actual skill to learn, and when you did you could do amazing numbers. I had a person in my guild say, "Arms is statistically underperforming, apparently no one told who manages to outperform the statistics." And I'll agree, the numbers for Fury were better simply because Fury was easier and a lot of people played Fury and never got to learn how to play Arms and pull a performance that outdid Fury.
