This is why people miss the old versions of WoW. Not because of the actual content of the game, but because it was during a simpler time that we miss.

[@Matthew_mcmahon20]

It is a feeling that private servers and classic wow cannot replicate. The only way you can experience it like it was ever again is if time machines are invented

[@xshobux]

Exactly. I was in high school when WoTLK came out and didn't have a worry in the world.

[@Matthew_mcmahon20]

On that note can we please create a time machine? I want to remember and talk to some people in the game that I havent seen in years one day they were there and then they never logged in again...

[@KNByam]

I don't care what anyone says, these were the best days of wow. Doing dailies and questing in Northrend. The music and the feel of Wrath was so nice.

You can still go back and listen to the music and do the daily quests

I legitimately think the first 4 minutes of this is one of the best songs ever written. The emotion that it captures is fucking unreal. The perfect blend of loss, perseverance, longing and remembrance. I lost two family members in late 09 and this song will forever be entwined with them, and man, I couldn't have asked for a better song to remember them by.

+alecyo12 yeah... I remember going there with my Turbo-Charged Flying Machine, but the noise was covering the music. So I switched to a dragon. The wings flapping was much better ^_^. Then I was going to that tall tower in the middle. But my char was so lightly clothed, and I thought he was going to catch a cold with that FREEZING atmosphere there. Am I going paranoid again? Yeah I guess so...

[@Ryantravisaol]

Me too. After the battle was over I just loved staying there and doing dailies and listening to the music.

[@KNByam]

I long for the Panda days. I actually loved that expansion. The quest areas, Isle of Thunder, timeless island. There was so much to do. I never pvp'd warrior until that expansion came out.

[@foglalatazanyad]

Jesus....and again im here, since over 12 yrs...many things in my life changed. lots of good things happened, like bad things too. lost my ex-girlfriend that i met in world of warcraft. i made a lots of friends in world of warcraft. im stil in contact with them. one of my best playerfriend died at leukemia. we experienced an explosion of emotions. part of my life that i will always be proud of and grateful for. and no one can take this away from me. it will never be the same again. at some days i cant believe that world of warcraft music makes me feel like this. kinda hurt...melancholic, happy, sad, hopeful, strong at the same time. thank u old blizzard. i will always be one of your biggest fan in world of warcraft. even if the new games weren't that good anymore.

[@Zack-if8se]

despite not actually remembering this song much, the nostalgia in these comments seems to be contagious. I remember my bunch of misfit friends in middle school who all stayed up til the wee hours of the morning despite school being in the morning, and the feeling of loneliness that'd inevitable creep in when you'd be playing WoW at 3 am on a school night just vanish when you check your friends list and see your buddy is online too it's really a time that just can't be replicated. life was different, and so was the escapism you'd take part in. WoW is still a great game, but it IS just a game for me now. i can't feel it's heartbeat these days, so to speak. hopefully one day it, or something else will stir those feelings again. until then, the music will do nicely

[@BAGA-fy1kd]

Something WOTLK's soundtrack does better than any other is have patience. Both this and Grizzly Hills are not afraid to draw out that single note or have space in the song and in doing so they make the game slow down and make the world feel bigger - like despite the Lich King being right next door there is still peace, mystery, beautiful sunrises and quiet evenings.

I remember years ago really enjoying this game to the point where it began to take over my life. I can recall fondly of battling in Wintergrasp, listening to this song and wondering what the hell am I doing with my life sitting here playing in a darkened room wasting my time away. But many years later whilst I somewhat regret playing the for the amount of hours that I did, I'm glad I got to experience the World of Warcraft.

+Ryan Swann Me too.

[@Ultra_Riku]

+Ryan Swann 2006-2008 were the dark days for me with WoW. I am talking 18 hours a day. When Wotlk was about to drop, my guild was cracking up, my server was getting empty and all the people I really enjoyed my experience with were gone for the most part. I decided to make a break for it and run. I quit WoW and got a job the following week lol. Although I have visited WoW a few times after that (Wotlk for 7 months, Cata for 4 months and MOP for 1 month). Playing the game the way I did is done for me I can't get the same feel I did back during vanilla and TBC.

[@arogers75]

Listening to this makes me so sad knowing the game was so amazing at one point. I still play WoW but its just not the same at all.. The first few weeks of WoD were amazing, but thats it. So much wasted potential on what could have been a great WoW expansion. But WoW during Wotlk will always be my number one game for the rest of my life. There was just so much heart and soul put into it. It had so much feeling and immersion and a good sense of community.

[@plackiplicki3531]

TheFatAmericans1 For the first weeks, like WoD. After you roughly explored the new content, the game comes back to its tasteless actual form ; poor community, little challenge in casual gameplay, extremely easy leveling and quests, not much specificity for each class/ character, slow paced unbalanced PvP. A very linear game overall.

[@arogers75]

I finally quit after 10 long years. It hurts but I'm just kidding myself now. I think I have to accept the fact that I have just grown out of the greatest game of all time :(

[@OfficialWaysam]

These lands were bathed in crimson and what grew from them were memories, friendships, rivalries, and most of all, fun. From fishing, mining, herb gathering, or just your local fauna extermination. We were here. We existed. So to that I say: "To the many laid low so that others could prosper, thank you."

[@sucraloss]

This game is all about adventure for me, that's why I don't buy flying until max level, and why I take so long to level toons. WoW has never been about raiding or even PvP for me, don't get me wrong they were fun but my fondest memories in WoW are of discovering a whole zone, with zero quests in my log and an entire landscape to delve unto. That's something that existed in Vanilla that doesn't anymore, now it's all about questing and following a linear, streamlined model to get to max so then you can use the structured group finder systems to "experience" the end game content. But that isn't experiencing the content, truly experiencing the content is knowing you have a long road ahead of you; no, not a road but a horizon, and the WoW experience is chasing this unreachable goal with no hope of ever getting there. Think about it, what is so fun about being the top PvPer or Raider in WoW, knowing that you have accomplished everything you wanted to? Absolutely nothing, and that is why so many players feel like the game is empty, like it's a husk. That's because people shouldn't be able to so easily "beat" the game, and even though that's impossible, killing the last boss and having above average gear is usually enough for players to feel like they beat the content. I hope they can realize how to bring the soul back into WoW with warlords of draenor, because at the moment there is nothing fun about doing quests to gain levels because there are so many stupid ass quests. Back in the day quests were cool because they were rare, now there are too many and leveling is too god damn easy. Give me the adventure back!

[@Nattraks]

I totally agree. I loved the sense of mystery and adventure old WoW gave me. I loved the handcrafted questing zones and quests that you know someone, somewhere at Blizzard worked their butt off for. Now with the whole instant level 90 they are giving people soon in the new expansion, they have completely negated out all that adventure! No one will see the old quest zones, or visit Outland, raid Black Temple, or see Northrend's glorious luster. It will all be about who can get the most gear the fastest. I for one loved exploring and enjoying the environment around my toon. I would never want to give all that content, all that adventure up, for end game content. I prefer to get there when I get there.

[@davidvertigan8606]

Quests were never "rare" even in vanilla. I agree the adventure needs to return.

[@sucraloss]

David Vertigan Never rare? Old Azshara had a total of 10-15 quests, and with no guide as to where the quests were you had to quite literally travel around the zone on foot for hours to find the quest hubs, but along the way you found neat scenery and cool mobs and the occasional unexpected quest which is the whole spirit of adventure, finding a quest unexpectedly and without warning is the best to me.

[@d.a.r.238]

As much as I agree with you, this feeling of awe is largely due to being new to the game. Ask yourselves, is it really Vanilla WoW or the "Noob Experience" that made the game so great?

[@TheHarlequinCrest]

***** Im sure it's because of the "noob experience" cause everything was totally new for all of us. However, let's be honest, Vanilla and BC general content was way better than the rest of the expansions like for example in terms of design of tiers (vanilla tiers were REALLY awesome compared to the current ones of MOP which they fucking suck), quests, dungeons, raids... everything was better

[@Somadream89]

This music is by far the most memorable to me in the game, and out of any video game I've ever played in my 25 years. I can still remember the exact feelings I had stepping into Wintergrasp for the first time years and years ago, and it still sends shivers down my spine. This will always have a very special place in my heart, and is one of the things I miss most about WoW. I know a lot of people didn't think so, but WOTLK will always be my favorite expansion.

[@ignamax08]

Oh man, I remember when everyone was spamming "WINTERLAG WINTERLAG" on the General chat, while the combat song was being played and the Battleground was running... Then... suddenly, one of the factions win and the other lose... the players heads back to Dalaran, where they had their Hearthstones., And... the calm music of Wintergrasp starts playing.

I was here mining Saronite, gathering flowers, fishing, and hanging out with friends just to calm down, relax and listen to this music. We had good laughs, good jokes, saddened times, but at the end of the day, we loved and enjoyed every second of the time spent on here. Knowing we were wasting time on a game, its an unforgettable experience. Always here killing the Alliance, outnumbering em 10:1, but they get the x20 Tenacity buff. if you remember that buff, that's a level 100 vs a level 80 we're talking about lmao. now... 4 years have passed... all of us went our separate ways, and hearing this music brings tears to my eyes. It is a moment I cannot and will not and will never in my life forget. They were like family to me and if I am to ever get back on this game, I hope I come across those who also played this game during Wrath or hell before Wrath to live Nostalgia moments.

The music in WoW will never cease to amaze and captivate me. In my opinion though, Wrath of the Lich King plateaued Blizzard's writing capabilities in terms of music. It was equal parts dramatic and bombastic and subtle and atmospheric. It was pure writing perfection. The following soundtracks have been pretty great but they've just kinda become too loud and in your face in comparison to what they accomplished in Wrath.

[@herbsft.thehdr1700]

I spent countless hours afk in WG just to listen to then music , every time I hear this it reminds me of a time filled with memories made with real friends

[@kenny.m.olsen95]

I started playing this game in 2009, this is the first time I actually heard this track. Just flying over the area for a questline and boom, 1:34 hits. I was mesmerized by it, still am. The chord progression is phenomenal.

[@ShammyWoWLoL]

By far this music is amazing, classic original and calm and soothing.

[@shotis2619]

Och my.. back in a days i used to play WoW for hours.. 15+ hours was minimum.. doin quests, achievements, talking with friends on ventrilo, progressin with my guild on Trial of the Crusader and Icecrown Citadel.. lisening to this amazing soundtrack and flying all around Wintergrasp just to ... listen and grabbing herbs

[@techtonic_pcs458]

Nostalgia as fuck.. No expansion will ever come close to this master peace

[@jonahebinger7154]

Goodbye my friend, literally the best pvp battleground ever in any MMO.

[@summercat4342]

It is melody of Gods. You always want to believe that the best is yet to come and the darkness is left behind

[@joereyes5541]

wow has changed so much but this right here and wotlk will always be the best blizzard has to offer, Nostalgia big time

[@CadrinTheWerecat]

I stopped playing WoW soon after the end of WotLK. This music makes me want to return, just to come back to Wintergrasp and stay there a little longer.

[@DandyCandy1]

Vanishing Point I feel the same. Cataclysm stripped off so many features and game nowadays looks like glorified farmville. I miss WotLK days. I truly do, I could almost cry. I still remember how WotLK "feels" especially when listening to this music, but if I go there in a current state of the game I'd just be ruining my memories.

[@CadrinTheWerecat]

Ah, I simply quit because my friends stopped playing. In hindsight, I'm glad I did. WoW is an absolutely beautiful, vast, pretty lore-rich game to explore, but it suckers you into spending as much time playing as possible to have the best, coolest stuff available. You're probably right. Even though this music is crystallized nostalgia, the days that we remember fondly are long gone and are not coming back. Well, at least the music only got better with time thanks to the memories. I'd still drop a few bucks into the game just to wander around for a couple days revisiting the familiar places, and feel intensely lonely.

[@DandyCandy1]

Vanishing Point Yup, due to all "looking for" tools and no need to leave your garrison/main city, there's no use to go out in the world anymore and it's so lonely. I miss exploring, raiding other capitals, I miss the WORLD in Warcraft. I miss the times when it was alive. It's not nostalgia, it's simply how it was, but it isn't anymore, sadly :(

[@indigopleasuredome]

Vanishing Point i can understand these feelings so much. I got raid overdozed past Ulduar and wanderd along a while to remember the good times with old long gone friends and such. This game really made me feel beautifuly sad. It hurted inside, but it was a tranquil soothing hurt. Thanks for Writing these lines my friend, i thought i was alone in the dark with these emotions you describe, wich i totally understand. You're not alone. And there are hopes of the ordinary World in the end i promise You.

[@TxtACRowetxT]

I always enjoyed that during the middle of an intense and crazy battle the music was still so peaceful

[@Alhummerr]

This brings back so much memories... Feels man, feels.

[@Oystercatcher247]

We didn't know it but this was peak life.

[@werewolves105]

This music was so nostalgic. Although this was a massive battleground and quite a debatably serious battleground, I remember flying over this zone and the music starting to play. I freaking miss logging onto my guild's tab and seeing nearly all my guildies playing Wintergrasp. Oh god the memories and good times

[@tobyharris2573]

Playing on a RPPVP server, my guild spent a lot of time in WG defending the base (or trying to win it back). It was always a blast logging on and within 30 seconds someone shouting about a WG match starting in 10 minutes and the entire guild 25+ players would assemble along with the rest of the guild alliance, 150+ Horde swarming WG fighting the stupid Alliance who had players with 10x HP buffs because their faction hadn't had the keep in a week. I loved how the matches would often get quite frantic towards the end, and then whether it was a narrow victory or victory by a wide margin, we would hop on our drakes (and my nether ray) and chase down the stragglers, or hang out in the keep yard taunting the allies and trying to catch anyone who would make a break for the portal back to town. Miss those times and especially miss this zone! Really wish there were an official WOTLK-locked server...

[@mickys514]

This is the track that made farming frost lotus a treat

[@xlitin]

Great track. Fishing for eternal waters with some guildies; farming eternal shadow in the southwest; being ever vigilant about sneaking Alliance... frantically healing everyone around me in Wintergrasp battles; being one of a 150+ Horde defense team inside the Keep... just great memories!

[@indigopleasuredome]

xlitin there was also a fishing quest in those pond areas..standing by the shore, being a bit scared of being camped by some stubborn Rogue who kept coming back to ruin my Daily quest, all seems like happy mems that i long to have back someday again. Damn this tune and all these shared memories makes me come to tears. I love you all guys, you're my jolly happy friends forever. We were Soldiers. But the war's ended for me unfortunately. Maybe somday a Rogue will stand behind You to eviscerate you're Brains out. I want you to Think about this moment then. Think about we who digged in night after night to make a statement of our lifetimes. - Victory or Death ! -

[@BrigitteMain33]

oohh man... i love this map and this song... so much memories... so beautiful!!!!

[@xin-xvi]

i remember the first time i stepped into Lake Wintergrasp, even though it was the Cataclysm it was active on my server for whatever reason, I had so much fun in those days.

[@johnleiva2572]

Many hours spent finishing here for fish feast! Thank you for the memories!

[@pyroromancer]

many hours of fishing and getting ganked, turns into an endless 1v1 then it escalates into guild v guild then before you know half the server shows up. All over fishing..

[@ladmclad673]

pyroromancer The nostalgia v-v is bootiful

[@ZzKevZz]

Wintergrasp was one of my favorite pvp experiences in wow. I found an old video recorded of a wintergrasp battle on my old usb drive and I had forgotten how epic it was. So many people and vehicles fighting and blasting everything. RIP Wintergrasp. Wish they had made it scale up to current levels. Tol Barad and Ashran were not even close to the same level and that isn't nostalgia talking.

[@jaameshm]

So I was leveling my mining today and I have never been in Wintergrasp before, and rarely do I have my music turned on. When I got into the area and listening to this music it made me wanna stay there and just sit and listen to it. Beautiful piece of music.

[@cattysplat]

There is some haunting irony in the horde and alliance fighting over an ancient fortress of a troll civilisation long dead and gone.

[@colonelva]

Just listening to the music, and hearing the sounds of the wind, does make this zone a forgotten place. I love it.. I can sit here for hours on end!
