[@Lirin1122]

OMG, I just found your YT! You answered questions I've had forever, but no one ever answered! I can't thank you enough! New sub 😊 too... I think I will ask you some questions when I get my table.

[@tacnogion]

I actually learned a few things as a returning player, last played during Legion. They've added a lot even since then. Thanks for the video.

[@LuckyGhost]

I love to hear that! thank you

[@Gregatron13]

I also haven't played since legion, and this answered all of my questions about things I couldn't find. And more!

[@Dreyden12274]

I haven't played since cataclysm lol, and this video is huge, I'm sure I'll be confused for quite a while, gotta find a decent guild

[@GrizzneyGames]

This is what I came to say. It's been a couple of years, and it looks different enough that this was helpful to me, a seasoned player.

[@EnhancedNightmare]

dude I didnt play for longer than 2hrs since WoTLK and its brutal to catch up xD

[@Cletus_Van_Damme]

I just decided to try WoW. This is very informative for someone who has never played before. The chapters is a big help. Thank you for doing this.

[@LuckyGhost]

Glad I could help!

[@Bokum03]

Welcome to Azeroth!

[@tooreosonecup4995]

As a 20 year, WoW vet, I approve of this video. Very well detailed.

[@Riggleboy]

Wow! THIS was absolutely what I needed to get back into playing. I started playing at BC but stopped a few years ago. It’s amazing how much you forget. I’ve got my son to now play. I’ll be sharing this video with him too. This content just makes everything so much easier to jump back in. THANK YOU!

[@LuckyGhost]

Heck ya my man 💪 hope you guys have fun!

[@Spacepuffin007]

Sitting here breaking a beer, WoW downloading in another window. Haven't played in many years, and a little intimidated about getting back in. This video is a great help, fantastic job really. None of my friends play anymore, but I think I'm going to give it a couple of months- seems as casual friendly as it's ever been, but quite different all the same.

[@gtcole04]

Same feeling, i think i stopped playing when blood elves came out >.

[@madmanjess]

@@gtcole04 LOL so you played vanilla?

[@themorganrobertson]

best of luck! Im in a similar boat

[@lilcurt3362]

What if we all start a party together?¿

[@Echo22WC]

Played vanilla to 2017...now trying again

[@krbaker89]

I just wanted to follow up and say I finally finished this video. I have been playing on and off since I was a teen and im 35 rn. I tried out some things from about half way point of this video last night (keybindings / action bar setups with the shift and ctrl for second and third sets and Q /E for slot 7 and 8, auto combat, combined bags, turning char adjustments, auto run/walk toggle) and tonight ill try out the second half in game (adding my 'kick' for my class i googled it looks like wind shear for shamens, add ons, getting mining and herb as professions, warband quests/banks, color of flightpaths, deff wanna make a mage for portals teleports lol) super appreciate you lucky ghost! always the best been following ya since i started on ESO a few years back ! Always learning new things from you!

[@LuckyGhost]

I'm so glad to hear its helping! and thanks so much for the kind words, I always enjoy your comments!

[@krbaker89]

@@LuckyGhost aww thank you!! and most deff super helpful!!!

[@madmanjess]

id maybe reccomend one profession that gathers, and one profession that crafts. that way you can craft materials from what you gather. as you can get some pretty nifty items and gear from some. but getting the resources can be costly if you cant gather yourself

[@Algarthed]

I don’t ever like and subscribe, yet somehow while I was driving I stumbled on this video on autoplay. I’ve played wow for years, so I knew all the information, yet the way you described EVERYTHING, made me feel like the video could not be skipped. Very detailed, and most importantly - explained very well. Great work. 3 hour video with 0 bloat

[@LuckyGhost]

Thanks so much!! 🙏

[@virgilthemob1242]

I haven't played WoW since a friend let me play Cataclysm on his account way back in the day and lately I've had a great time with FFXIV and decided to give WoW a try to have a bit of variety. I've been feeling discouraged because a lot of people complain about the new or returning player experience being overwhelming and I would absolutely agree. But this crash course turned it into a cakewalk. You really told me everything I needed to know to really get into the game and I am really grateful for making it as easy and painless as you did. Gonna tell everyone else I know who has reservations about picking WoW up or back up about this guide.

[@LuckyGhost]

thanks so much!

[@dbslayer7]

Just started WOW with all the War within hype. Than you for this guide. Very extensive and helpful.

[@xombie7928]

As a returning player that hasn't touched WoW in over a decade this was a perfect refreshing course thank you. watched the whole thing

[@Pope_of_Novigrad]

Man, what a fantastic video. I've only been a WoW player for a couple of weeks as the War Within has encouraged me to take the plunge. I'm learning the ropes pretty fast but this video is such a huge help to a newbie like myself. You've earned yourself a like and a sub. Thank you man ❤

[@NoFaseNoCase81]

Literally watched this all the way through..... Thank you. I am completely new and played for a bit and had to look for a video to help me out . This was beyond helpful.. you deserve a gazzilion subs and likes 😂

[@LuckyGhost]

Thanks so much! ☺️

[@BinSosa]

bro this guide and the things you said were so accurate. On a lot of cases you referred to things that new players think or go through and it was funny how you pointed out things I was doing or experiencing that I haven't even noticed hahaha. One of the best guides I've seen for any games on Yt.

[@Vrinara]

The thing I love about Lucky is. he's so in depth with his stuff. Seriously. if I was a new player (been playing WoW since like 2007-2008) I would feel very informed honestly.

[@bradveach4832]

I reloaded after dropping out in cata so ya ghost is great 😅

[@jiruribakachan365]

No, you would be SCARED about a 2H video about a video game. You'd think the game wont tell you ANY of these things cuz why else would it be in a DEDICATED VIDEO!?!? This is nonsense and scares new players off more than it helps..

[@EnhancedNightmare]

Thats so true, sometimes I look up a guide and I literally understand like 3 words in 20 min video ! xD

Thank a lot for this. I started to play with my brother, and now I don't have to pester him for newbie question!

[@TLeeWhit]

Old school player here, had stepped away a while ago and found getting back in difficult because of all the changes. Great guide! Thank you!

[@LuckyGhost]

Glad to help!

[@gtcole04]

Same. i saw LuckyGhost, shit he helped me with ESO. This guys a big help

[@Kaltsuwhite]

I'm a veteran player, but was interested to hear this. It's a very good guide for beginners, and clearly stated

[@LuckyGhost]

thanks!

[@Kaltsuwhite]

@@LuckyGhost As we know, with the game being this old and this complex as it is an MMO, and as you are capable of simplifying and explaining things well, I would suggest you to do another video, that goes into more detailed things about systems, how they work and for example, how PvP activities work. That is, if you deem it being worth the time, for new players I am sure it would be worth it to watch or listen to it if they just find it.

[@xxDiavoloxx1]

One of the best guide that I have seen so far as returning player,Excellent work thanks for that!!

[@craigwolfe249]

I tried WoW a few months ago but just got overwhelmed but this give has explained things so clearly that I'm getting back into it, thank you so much! Blizzard need to pay you!

[@LuckyGhost]

Thanks 😊 🙏 glad i could help!

[@ctos8158]

Absolutely helpful. I was thinking about jumping in for years but now IS the time! That guide helped A TON!!!!!!!

[@LuckyGhost]

You can do it! And glad I could help! 🍻

[@DBJ468]

I gave up on Blizzard a while ago, but man do I still miss WOW sometimes. Glad some people are still having fun with it. Great video.

[@Sandersen-v2i]

Y tho

[@zen_ninja]

I’ve watched several stater guide videos, this was BY FAR the most informative and well done. And thank you for not using all the WOW slang. So many of the beginner guides do, and I was totally lost.

[@OscarBustamante-q2o]

been away from WOW for a couple of years and feel like a newb. . My long time real friend and in game running buddy Bluepheas passed away 2 yrs ago and it was just wasnt the same. I have been getting the itch so this was very helpful to clue me in on what has changed. Many Thx.

[@LuckyGhost]

Sorry to hear about your friend 🧡 I'm glad this guide helped fill the gaps!

[@kickback69200141]

Man after being gone for 5yrs this video is perfect. Thanks man. Everyone should watch this video.

[@gungar_z]

Just started playing WoW a week ago, this was incredibly useful thanks!

[@MitchTuckerMortgageBroker]

I haven’t played since Cata. This is the best dang guide I’ve ever watched. Solid job man. You also gave me some info on how to structure my KZbin channel as well. I appreciate you brother

[@shurtugal0670]

Thank you for putting this together. I am sure it was a bunch of work. Been 13 yrs since I had played but I recently downloaded the game and it is really impressive how the game has matured.

[@LivingLikeGaryYT]

Awesome in depth guide! Audio quality makes it very nice too!

[@Aceinine]

very comprehensive guide lucky! I havent touched wow since Cataclsym so this was a great way for me to catch up with the current state of the game. I must say the core progression systems have changed a lot, definitely feels way more accessible and rewarding than before.

[@jackbukraba6570]

You helped me tons man! I just got into wow. Been coming back to this video over the last week. The time stamps are so amazing!!!

[@Ziltanis]

I'm a veteran playing since wotlk and returning now. I still learned something from this, love the video man keep up the good work

[@LuckyGhost]

Glad you enjoyed it, welcome back! and thanks so much for the kind words

[@deadlylegend9372]

Have never played Wow but I’m coming from ESO where I have many years. Little intimidated with wow all the classes and skills. If anyone wants to play together and lvl up I wouldn’t say no lol Great video

[@lifeinlauren]

Haven’t played wow in 3 years, this helped me remember all the little things that make a big difference and it also taught me about the new changes. Thank you

[@LuckyGhost]

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!

[@evanshropshire9494]

So, I started my WoW free trial for the first time yesterday and I've been working my way through this guide, this is helping so so so much! Thank you!

[@xrizzer1296]

Just picked this game back up after last playing in WOTLK. This was very informative and helped get myself caught up before jumping back in

[@LorendralEarthshaper]

Man this was ABSOLUTELY brilliant! I'm a returning players not playing since Cata and I found this video the best I've seen around. Liked and subscribed. Looking forward to see more! Something I did not find an answer yet is about Chromie. It allows to play old expansion (thing I want to do since I missed many of them). However, when I switched to Pandaria for example I did not find the way to get to Pandaria. How to get there? Thanks!

[@skooltroopershyper7753]

Go in the Portal room of omgirmar/stormwind and go through the pandaria one

[@fragmentsofanusha]

There is a portal room in your capital city which will take you there

[@Thevideofish85]

This is a fantastic guide. I’ve been playing since wolk but basically skipped shadowlands and dragonflight so I learned a lot about all the modern changes

[@alancrow7325]

I’ve been out of WoW for a long time and this was really nice to watch as I’m getting back into it. Thanks for the quality video!

[@unknowndata3895]

I am not even a beginner. I play WoW for 12 years now. I find it very interesting to watch beginner guides. Maybe I always have over seen something.

[@kaljaxa5365]

This was very informative and helpful. It also encouraged me to return to retail WoW when my finances permit.

[@SJaudio]

This is rightfully the best vid to get your bearings, and jump right into playing this epic game. As a returning player it’ll update you on all the latest changes, but my god, as a new player.. you’ve just hit the jackpot!! Great work 🙏🏼

[@aliertugrul97]

Thanks a lot man this kind of an easy-to-follow guide. Especially for the interface of the skills was looking hard before that guide. Now it makes more sense. I havent played WoW yet, but was thinking about to start as a leading MMORPG. You helped a lot man seriously, thanks again!

[@Bruhkake]

I've played Wow since pre TBC and even I've learned new things. I always struggle with rotation, had no idea about Hekili. Huge thank you for such an amazing guide!

[@Bruhkake]

I use the Tukui UI add-on because it's amazing for easy layouts, if anyone wants a quick way to sort your screen out into necessities and make it all consistent and nice plus you can copy the settings across to all your characters really easily

[@steel5897]

Now THIS is an actual guide. The google/youtube search algorithm spews so much trash on a search like this, a slew of completely unhelpful videos come up top. Thanks for making it.

[@kristensilcott-jackson1759]

I stopped playing after Cataclysm ..I'm only 5 mins into the video and blown away...factions don't matter. Servers don't matter. This isn't the WOW I know and remember! Thank you for this video!

[@kearnsw13]

Just wanted to say thanks for making this video. I was a huge Destiny 2 player and wanted to try another MMO and this gave me everything I could possibly want to feel confident in starting my journey into WOW

[@LuckyGhost]

Glad to hear it! Hope you have fun!

[@Sundrop-Dancer]

Thank you so much, as a returning player who hasn't played since the start of BFA, I can't believe how much has changed. You really do a spectacular job of explaining things clearly. And while I'm here, I wanted to comment on motion sickness in the game now. The newer game version gives me horrrendous motion sickness and I couldn't find a setting that helped - UNTIL I scaled the UI. Scaling the UI to be bigger and scrolling all the way out on my character to max distance helped an incredible amount. Hopefully this helps someone else. ♥

[@Unclebreen]

As someone who doesn’t watch full videos, let alone ones that are 2 hours, great video and appreciate all the tips!

[@LuckyGhost]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch this one, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@JoshuaRicelastx1xstanding]

So I have been off and on for years and always have a fallout within three or four days after getting out of the isles and never know where to go and last night was about to quit again and just now found your video and seen where to go next. Thank you!!!! I did have a MMO mouse but need to get a new one since my 1-3 buttons don't work but I do have a razer nostromo ( to play league) and will rebind stuff like your set up instead of having all the keys to press. Again this video has helped out tremendously!

[@SpartanTAP]

This is an absolutely fantastic video im not new to mmos (FF14 player) but am new to WoW and there is SO MUCH here thats so helpful.

[@gtcole04]

Very long but very informative, haven’t played since blood elves were added. Thank you thank you, for taking the time to make this video. Look forward to your other videos. Always well made.

[@altitude85]

Last played at wotlk. This was brilliant. Thanks for the hard work that went into this

[@neverendlessgaming]

Hey Luckly thanks. I couldn't believe I made it till the end of the long video... it's because (like I tasted in many others of yours) the way you make your video great. Thanks!

[@LuckyGhost]

Thanks for enjoying the entire video!

[@johnnny-hq8vn]

Like a couple comments earlier iv been playing since vanilla also.. Most of this is old stuff to us now...BUT...it is by far the best intro to WOW intro info. I've came across AND..even I picked up a few tips I've missed...This is a 5 star video.. None of this I love me see what my gear is ..ain't I great..Just pure info...SSG

[@yeahyeahyeah0yeah]

Thanks, very much needed this. Not played for 4 years and needed a catch up. So much out there pretends to be the basics but ends up expecting you to know way more than you can ever remember after so much time away.

[@Omi-7k]

Best all in one comprehensive video for new players EVER!!!!

[@XtraiX92]

Haven't played since mop, came back to try classic but decided to give retail a look to see whats changed.... short answer is everything. So I rly appreciate this, and the stuff I already knew well this was still a good refresher.

[@freeskierforlive]

Supercool guide! I cant think of any info missing, the way you deliver it is very pleasant and entertaining and the memes here and there, are also fire 👍🏻

[@LuckyGhost]

hell ya, thank you!

[@smudgyace]

I have never clicked so fast. I’ve played this game since BC, but your ESO guides demanded I watch this as well.

[@LuckyGhost]

damn I really appreciate that brother!🙏

Just got my pc last night can’t wait to get home and start playing I haven’t played since like 2005 I’m hyped

This video should have way more likes than it does… that’s crazy.

[@lout9231]

This video deserves blizz sponsorship holy fuck. Returning player who last played in mop this is beyond better than anything the game attempts to explain

[@LuckyGhost]

Hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed it brother!

[@Northerntramp]

That is officially the best guide in the world on WoW. Great quality.

[@spektre0452]

Lucky, this video was amazing. It was informative, entertaining, and so incredibly helpful! I've been playing Wow intermittently since Vanilla, and you taught me some things I never knew. And despite what Illidan says, "I am prepared" to jump back into Wow when I pick up War Within this weekend (gotta wait for payday, lol). Thanks again! 😁

[@LuckyGhost]

Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)) I hope you enjoy your time back in Azeroth as well! cheers!

[@dameonbrown2985]

I just started this guide I was a beast with demo warlock and transforming into a demon back in the day…I got sad when they took that away and then came demon hunter I been out of the game for awhile so excited to see what’s new!!! I hope for metamorphosis back but I’m hoping my demo warlock is better but demon hunter was fun when I experienced that

[@arkosxd9837]

Great guide! It helped me start with WoW a lot. Many thanks for it and good job.

[@cl1187]

Appreciate the video. I am getting back into it and haven't played since Cataclysm. My daughter and I are playing together and this has been helpful. I would love to have a video (Haven't checked to see if it is done already) on Macros. Thanks for the great content.

[@GTSongwriter]

I watched all the way thru (skipped some parts). I plan to return to the game. I stopped in Aug 2018. I really needed this update, Thank you!

Took a break from WoW and haven’t played since Shadowlands. Tried to come back for Dragonflight but life got busy again. Been playing since 2004 so the first 5 minutes of this video had my jaw drop… New character load screen and then finding out horde and alliance can play together now!!?? Wow I’ve missed so much!
