I played CLASSIC WoW for the first time... *YIKES*

[@PyronTheMage]

Hey mate, thanks so much for making our WoW adventure super epic! A guild member linked me this video lol. Was awesome meeting you

[@serhaneksili6721]

Pyron the goat!

[@enrxyque]

Hey Pyron, I just really want to thank both you and Butch for sharing this magical bit of yours with us. Over a decade ago, when I was still with the love of my life, I used to play WoW and often times I would order pizza; funnily enough, it used to be the Barbecue with extra chicken! From Telepizza. Watching you interact and talk has moved me greatly. I am at a much different place in my life right now, but I wanted you both to know that it is with tears of joy and gratitude for those great times that I write this, and that I wish you both, and anyone reading this, all best, with your loved ones, in AND out of WoW. Enjoy, and change only, for the better. Hugs from southern Spain. E

[@coolman72891]

What no way?! its the dude!

[@ButchX3]

I will never forgot how we both Frothed over Dominoes Pizza as we arrived in ThunderBluff! Thanks for being awesome!

[@wandameadows5736]

It takes patience to play original WOW but I like the pace vs todays instant dophemen hit style of gaming. I started playing WarCraft the strategy Game back in 1996 & that's were the idea World Of Warcraft got started. Blizzard was King back then with WarCraft, Diablo & StarCraft. If you want to play a crazy game for good KZbin content try Diablo 1.

[@FreakinSatan]

I love how he just naturally RPs.

[@real_aezelle]

"it's like death by a thousand needles..." I be tinkin this is some foreshadowing, mon 👀

[@GoobertShloopert]

Its been so fun watching you play this Butch. Its easy to forget as a veteran all the stuff that made me fall in love with wow in the first place. This has served as such a nice reminder of all the beauty even the old world has to offer. Cheers, hope to see more.

[@fantasycraft-forge]

I've been playing WoW since its release up until Legion, then I stopped. In my opinion, this is the best WoW Classic first-time video ever. You're playing it the way the game was truly meant to be played. Watching this brings back so many memories of my guild and those days. The interaction back then made it feel like a second "real" world. I envy you for experiencing this for the first time. Love the video!

[@wandameadows5736]

Really WOW was designed to fit whatever game play style you prefer but your right co op makes it easier & creates a memorable social experience if your into that kind of thing but there's also fun in the challenge of soloing. Blizzard really did a great job with the World Experience that i've yet to see matched. Today is all about speeding through content & anticipating what's next.

[@Stewyboy178]

The moment you met up with Pyron again and went into mulgore got me all teary eyed. Like i really miss the excitement of discovering a new zone with a new friend in wow

[@PyronTheMage]

This Pyron fella sure sounds cool!

[@butacosmin]

I m so jealous of him that he gets to experience this. In a good way. This beings me back to 2005….man. I miss it so much

[@ArticAnomaly]

His excitement at seeing Thunderbluff was amazing. Its a beautiful town and one of my favourite hangout spots too. Its one of the few places between retail and classic that is basically unchanged too

[@MegaChickenfish]

Laughed like an idiot at the first encounter with the *famous warrior and savior of Orgrimmar Gamon.* I used to level my bank alt and wear fancy low level blood elf armor so I could do an _honorable duel_ against Gamon in Orgrimmar. (He was only attackable so he could be pickpocketed for a quest but he's always been a bit of a meme.) the progression essentially went: classic - Gamon is attackable and regularly killed by players just because they can wrath of the lich king - new death knights get hostile remarks from NPCs but Gamon straight up becomes hostile and charges you going *GAMON WILL SAVE US!* (to then inevitably die because death knights start at level 58) Pandaria - during the raid on Orgrimmar we rescue Gamon who then takes up a huge axe and helps us fight our way through Orgrimmar. He's tired of being kicked around and it's time to kick some ass! modern - Gamon retires as Hero of Orgrimmar, finally able to enjoy his drink, being no longer attackable.

[@frozenearth2074]

You're making me want to play again omg, I played WoW so much the first few years when it launched! The magic of no fast travel, having to take your time to figure stuff out and finding all the secrets, actually reading the quests to find out where you have to go, meeting others and randomly grouping up etc... would love to do that all over again! I remember so well the first time me and my brother travelled way off to a zone more than twice our level just for the adventure, and we actually managed to find and open a chest filled with crazy loot. It was wild.

[@jharrington2112]

classic fresh just launched. All of those things are happening. (for the next month or two)

[@garysfishroomtx]

I've been playing for twenty years, off and on. Totally loved your "new" eyes on the game! Brought back fond memories! Thank you!

[@CometStorm]

My man here just starting out and making friends everywhere and in every video, while high lvls like me are just silent and don't even talk. I am glad you are having fun friend, I wish one day our paths will cross :)

[@buckbardyt]

Vicariously experiencing you see the World of Warcraft for the first time was genuinely wholesome and entertaining.

[@TurtleSodadrives]

Gamon death is iconic! The ONE NPC you can not right click in Org-rimmer.

[@TeasLouise]

Vanilla original player here. I see nothing wrong with questie. We used to have to tab back and forth to Thotbott- which was a pain in the butt and could slow other people. Back then also a lot of info wasn't available yet on thotbott because it was an aggregator of information provided by other players.

[@noctusowl]

And many players and guilds liked to keep their strategies to themselves so you had to make your own.

[@squattingheads]

for someone who played a little while or want a more qol experience its fine. But if your goal is to experience classic, than this is the dumbest thing you can do. Having to read the quests and the frustration of looking in the wrong place WAS the classic experience in the beginning. Doing it after lvl 20 would be totally fine but before is just dumb

[@giorgosmpaklesis6306]

14:50 not even 15 minutes into playing a mage and hes already got his mind on being a vending machine, ah they joys of wow

[@ChickenSoup22]

Love these videos so much :3 You captured the classic community so well, love your kindness and enthusiasm, an absolute joy to watch. Also envious... i wish i could turn back time to discover it all over again with fresh eyes like you are!

[@ArakashDE]

Watching you on stream also made me start the game. I'm lvl 23 right now.

[@Pixx2266]

My fondest memory of WoW was back when in vanilla we were doing a dungeon, I was around level 30ish and someone asked me about my talents and my reply was "wtf are talents"...

[@ButchX3]

Thank you so much for all of the love on these WoW videos! This was all recorded live, streaming both here and on Twitch. So make sure you sub and follow to join in the next adventure! www.twitch.tv/butchx3

[@GreatApeOfTheNorth]

Would you consider playing Guild Wars 2?

[@fabiencamille1012]

You seem to like interacting with other players.. thats why retail is not for you 😅 Classic and season of discovery is where you go to socialize whilst having fun

[@Deathzone4ever]

React to all the cinematics and lore. You'll enjoy em

[@pflegerich]

I love how appreciative you are of everything around you. Stay curious!

[@TarlaPrettyPaws]

Ah, welcome to the experience that brought me into gaming. It's a difficult, frustrating grind, that I still love to this day. If you ever want another one of those "classic" experiences, make a night elf, then decide to level in the human lands. The trek is infamous.

[@justpeachy5840]

Absolute right of passage! Lets not forget stopping to do the jump glitch to get on top of Ironforge.

[@Arcticsharpshooter]

I hope you have the ingame music on whenever you enter Thunder Bluff, Butch! That track is phenomenal in how it completes the atmosphere of this city.

[@MegaChickenfish]

Snakes have no hair IE: no more unibrows. That's a darn good service he's giving out for free!

[@thenerdymillennial]

I'm having so much fun watching your WoW journey... can't wait to see more

[@pixiedust145]

This was so great to watch! I am so glad you could experience what it was like the first time playing WoW when it was like this!! Classic definitely brings back the memories! 🥰

[@IGG978]

Love your wow videos, such joy to see another one come up, thanks so much and all the best!

[@Kang2112]

Loved this one thanks for posting it.I had great fun and a few laughs watching you adventure and make new friends and discoveries. Please make more of these. I love wow for all the reasons you state, It is a great game I've been playing it for nearly 20 years.

[@adlez47]

Glad you ran into people that hung around and chatted with you! Classic is definitely more sociable than retail in my experience, but even then the majority of my interactions are polite business and then we go our separate ways. Dungeon groups are usually more talkative by necessity, so a lot of my favorite moments have happened in those. It's truly heartwarming to see someone so bright eyed and full of wonder at this world that some of us have known for 20 years. P.S.: As a Tauren main, I can comfortably say Mulgore is the best starting zone.

[@lyleruthven5289]

Beautiful :) hard to capture that feeling again so I loved watching you have it!

[@MichZilla90]

I love the barrens and it’s music too, you will love this game I hope we see more!

[@skyezz9928]

I gotta say I love to see you experience wow through a fresh set of eyes, every wow video youve done have been a treat to watch!

[@aidenelliott6509]

Hey Butchx3, I just recently found your channel and I appreciate everything you’ve done and are doing. You are genuinely amazing at KZbin and really funny. I’ve watched almost every video all the way from now to a year ago straight. Thank you for making these and keep going. You deserve all the love you get.❤❤❤❤❤

[@ivotanev79]

Man, you hit the audience :D . I cannot fall asleep watching this and the previous wow video you made. Good choice of content.

[@Mr_Bufu]

That was by far the best and funiest WOW video i ever seen, thanks for that!^^

[@Bakayarokaizoku]

I happened to stumbled on this video, as an old veteran wow player who was there from the beginning.. you did exactly what we did back then (except for the quest addon ofc, there wasn't one XD) So happy to see someone enjoy it as we did back then, it was a magical feeling and you are showing it, thank you

[@FenstarDeLuxe]

I love watching you discover WoW and your journeys! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheMadeofhonor]

Caves are Lethal in WOW. Use your wand it doesn't require Mana. Mages train Portals to port themselves and other's to major Cities. I enjoyed watching your video! Best of luck on your new Adventures in the World Of Warcraft. Hope your journey is a fun and prosperous one.

[@dafodayn]

that was SO much fun to watch, thank you for sharing your experience in such an entertaining way. I used to play WoW from 2006 to 2013, and you brought all the good memories to life I had while time sinkin‘ in this beautiful game

[@Madelion]

You can really see how this game took the world by storm 20 years ago can't you, it still draws people in all these years later

[@NerdArchive]

I remember being there for this philosophers discourse on Sourdough live. It's still special in recording, and it is appreciated by old timers of the series like me. Good times.

[@Aztiren]

hope to see you continue your wow journey! great video!

[@kaybailey-jones3740]

That point when you finally partied up and GOT IT!

[@faithcael5703]

A core memory of mine was jumping around on the stones in the valley of spirits. My parents played WoW right in the beginning when I was still small. My father would let me move his character occassionally, or put follow on my mother and collect herbs for him. The first time I played myself was in legion way later, but I keep remembering small things from classic every so often.

[@fivewanderfree]

Hope you keep playing! This was SO entertaining (:

[@NeoLove101]

im glad u got that old classic experience. playing mage was a good choice for classic have fun!

[@hazardpay8560]

20 year wow vet. If wow playership was a military career i could retire It warms my heart to see someone in the current yeah discovering the joy of classic WoW I would not trade all the friendships I've made and experiences I've had over the years but i would be lying if I said I would not love to go through it again with the complete ignorance of a brand new player watching you play brings some of that glow back

[@jharrington2112]

Lol, I joined wow my 2nd year in the navy. 04' primarily to keep my ass out of the bars

[@epicfail3167]

Watching you experience this for the semi-first time is amazing The perspective you draw from and what you focus on is refreshing - i hope to see more of you in Azeroth

[@tom-sr1wt]

50:20 you making me fall in love with the game all over again ❤

[@Joniness]

Good video and I love the postive energy!

[@kristianflamsted9038]

Your classic experience feels wholesome. I will keep watching. Btw your editing is so good; I got a feeling if you keep it up your channel will grow a lot! Followed you on twitch as well mate.

[@ascend2477]

Watched this from minute 1 to the end and was part of the livestreams and loved every single minute of it

[@Zirilana]

I watched the journey on Twitch and i still watched this whole video for the narration and reliving of some nice moments. Keep it up Butch!

[@Sunohn]

This man is an amazing storyteller! I was enraptured the whole video.

[@xxEZRAiv]

This storytelling warms my heart. Thank you for playing this game, and all your work in making this video. 🍀

[@rullja]

This made me think about my fellow raid--healer, Rukia, she was a paladin in WotLK , I miss her

[@martinandersen1456]

Get me all nostalgic! Thanks for the vids and showing what made me love this game 😊

[@davidbean6973]

Great video! Watched some of this live and enjoyed sharing your journey. Love the role-playing especially - gives your videos character!

[@Daligga]

I got so emotional when you reunited with your friend haha, amazing

[@ascend2477]

I absolutely love your WOW content, so excited for more WOW content and to see your experiences in Azeroth

[@Alucardd-tt8eb]

12:12 yes, magic in classic wow is pretty OP. Mages in classic are jokingly referred to as “the original hero class” or “blizzards love child” because of how much easier the game is for them. They can CC, they do great damage, they’re great in PvP, they’re just so good. They even have the ability to level faster by just rounding up a group of mobs and AOE them down repeatedly. They can make food/water and can teleport and make portals. They can even solo some dungeons. Mages in classic are definitely an S tier class.

[@user-ux3jp9oo7r]

no one ever has referred to mage as the hero class. Classic hero is Warr and its not even close.

[@benferguson223]

That poem was beautiful, truly amazing content, keep up the wow videos they are incredibly entertaining

[@obscuritiez]

Oh that takes me back! Getting to Orgrimmar and accidentally hitting Gamon... too many times....

[@vi-r22]

I remember being soo proud of my self for soloing skull rock lol. Waltzed in the first time and faceplanted like everyone does then, made it my goal to finish it and it took soo long cuz was being slow and careful and that meant re killing many mobs. Was on a rogue char.

[@forsakenjones4695]

@42:56 If you have a caster and a minion like the void walker ;sheep the caster then burn down the minion. then burn down the caster when sheep runs out.

[@wandameadows5736]

Great Video, you could make tons of content with WOW Classic. I really like the approach of slowing things down just like the game itself does. There's no reason to rush through WOW Classic either in game or while creating content like this.

[@larryjasper9721]

I went to Thunderbluff the other day and it was like going back in time..funny thing is I remembered it all after 20 years of not playing

[@Kaidan1983]

Such a good video!

[@krauz111]

keep them coming , love your videos

[@Mishaschroetter]

I appreciated your stream on this game also. I started to play the game just after seeing you playing it. But, on Turtle Wow, (private thing, you know mon!)

[@Surethien]

An enjoyable watch, well put together : )

[@TDETS2]

I hope you continue this! Love these types of video's!

[@creamsoddaaa]

brilliant video! welcome to the best MMORPG

[@Drupus]

Been playing wow for 16 years, i absolutely loved this ♥

[@Zaiqahal]

I'm surprised by how many people were so friendly. Honestly, it's quite the rarity to meet social people in WoW, both in Retail and in Classic.

[@Contmotore]

Man, wish I could experience WoW for the first time again. Good times, good times...

[@raeanna451]

As soon as you entered that cave I got flashbacks. That place screwed me over too, I was also a mage. Took sooo long.

[@jimx45]

Didn't even know they got fresh classic realms. So this was their plan. Oh and they got hardcore ones too. Then I don't have to play on SoD

[@Huronzonor]

In case no one let you know when you upgrade to a new spell.Rank mister butch, you'd have to still manually drag it to your action bar

[@giomio2755]

I hope u plan on playing this character through more live, would love to watch !

[@Maggotforlive666]

Love your Content Mate

[@miwel8455]

The different taste of this video comparing to the one playing Retail is all anyone has to ask about Classic vs Retail debate.

[@Marek_9924]

Found your channel through the wow videos. Love the content, hope you have a good time in 2005 Azeroth :)

[@pawned79]

25:20 “this is chill…” I’m 45yo and this reminds me of my EQ days. We used to say EQ was the best chat room. Before that, I had done mIRC for years and played some MUD. I’ve enjoyed Butch’s WOW videos though I never played WOW. I get it though!

[@TheHulk31803]

Yah know what game I'd like to see him play, wizard 101. Bring me the nostalgia Butch ❤

[@Kegcrusher04]

Been playing on the anniversary server and having a blast.

[@GodorWhatever]

AWESOME 👍 MAKES ME THINK ABOUT PLAYING WOW AGAIN.. THINK I STARTED IN 06 AND NEVER LIKED THE EXPANSIONS QUITE AS MUCH.

[@clintonlott316]

Awesome video. Not a WOW fan but very much enjoyed the video and all 3 streams

[@Thalarion]

As a 20-year WoW player, Retail and Classic are both fantastic games

[@MiaNova21]

Love your videos!! ❤

[@cerisity]

questie is a must, + AI voiceover for the fun factor

[@rinwilliams4495]

bad drop rates force you to grind, which is a good thing. Even if it doesn't feel like it.

[@CookieCurls]

The troll voice with a British accent is something I never knew I wanted until now 😂

[@clendatu]

Man what I would give to experience Vanilla WoW for the first time once more

[@Rh0deRage]

Your face when you discovered auto loot! 😆 The exact same face I had when I discovered it, 3 years after I started playing!

[@CLS_Taco]

walking everywhere and leveling weapon skills... true Classic experience.

[@vi-r22]

walking to level 40 and then to only get a slow mount till 60 all ground.

[@redarrow9986]

Hey Butch I'm here to to let you know that Ark Survival Ascended has released 2 maps you haven't played yet and they both have little to no water in them, also GL with all the great videos you are putting out we all support you

[@falconmick]

08:55 the voice over addon would be another good one to install. The addon is every quest and gossip text for every NPC in all of vanilla voice acted by AI which was tuned to sound somewhat like the race (like pretty good)

[@Vaishino]

Back in Cataclysm I managed to die to Gammon too. Used my tauren's war stomp in the inn and he just charged across the room and flattened me.

[@timmy6687]

Hey man , please continue with the video on your jurney to classic wow . I think we all want you to see on a mount 😁

[@coltonp3247]

You are legitimately funny dude. Liked and subscribed
