Hey everyone! Would just like to add there are RP-PVP servers as well. This was not announced when I created this video. RP-PVP severs are just RP servers.... with PVP.

[@MrJcock12]

make a discord!

[@docktordicking2852]

Hi, is it possible to get Dutch subtitles? so I can show this video to a friend who's not that great in English. If you would like Dutch subtitles I can help you translate. Ofc for free since I just want to try to get my friend into wow.

[@benadamson6193]

Im new to this game iv just started playing lol

[@VS666]

another pro-tip; watch as many platinum wow videos as you can. they're actually useful even as a veteran player, and funny as hell!

[@Rashura12]

indeed amigo^^

[@peterziebellrunge7556]

So true - Pure laughing love! :)

[@slaynprey]

This should have been advertised as a beginner guide though... there was no useful information for me but I do agree it was entertaining

[@PlatinumWoW]

CLASSIC. THIS. MONTH.

[@quexiiiceci]

STILL. HYPED.

Me watching beginner guides even though I know everything.

[@karlzila]

Ive watched so many videos over the last 3+ years in anticipation that I can basically predict what all vidoes are going to say as Im watching, but I still watch them all cause of the hype.

[@bfc9467]

I have no idea what is going on or if I am gonna play but I'm just here in the fallout of its release to try to have some idea of wtf is going on. way too much banter about 'horde' or 'hunter' or all these things on twitter i gotta know what this means

[@graui908]

I know nothing. Literally nothing. But I'm finally gonna give wow a chance.

[@karlzila]

@@graui908 I'd recommend playing through warcraft 3 first purely to learn the story.

[@graui908]

@@karlzila Really? Thought I should start with classic because people say it's the hardest. Don't wanna start easy and be overwhelmed later, if you know what I mean.

[@Ferlius93]

"It's more about the journey than the destination." - Filled up my soul with joy! It is how I always saw the game as. I cannot meet any people like this anymore.

[@johnosullivan5241]

Even if I know this stuff, I always watch a Platinum vid to the end

[@senismarsenis9678]

ma man

[@shadevp8924]

+1 :)

[@viggojuul]

Please dont stop posting! I am about to return to wow with classic after many years break. Your videos help me get back into the flow :D

[@Cbb88dragonborn]

These videos are always top notch. I was worried about being left in the dust at classic release but your videos have helped out a ton!

[@Foxdude92]

Hello Platinum WoW, Just wanted to say I heard your interview on Countdown to Classic and it made me look you up when Josh had mentioned that your content actually had him laughing a good bit. I must say you have skyrocketed to one of my favorite in just the last few days. I appreciate all the work you do. Looking forward to more!

[@oczx1]

Been playing wow on and off for the last 12 years, but still love watching these type of guides. Good work.

[@Arrradiance]

Great intro to the game! Most of these types of videos assume a decent amount of knowledge about WoW, and/or are quite lengthy or not well-produced. This is a solid package in 13 minutes. Recommend to any new players.

[@Jamie-ux8sk]

Love how many videos you’ve been putting out recently. Great content.

[@HamsterWheelGaming]

Great job with these videos dude. Informative, really well made and very entertaining!

[@___IG]

Your guides are so good I go back and rewatch them pretty regularly just for the entertainment value. Literally seen this like 14 times thanks a lot! ❤️

[@YenZin108]

That's some top-notch editing, Platinum! Informative for beginners too, of course.

[@Dante44PL]

I never played Classic in my life, started during end of TBC, beginning of WotLK and your videos are actually making me hyped for Classic! :D

[@horisontial]

What a great, well edited video! I loved the transitions and very informative to fresh players

[@joshuaclift1921]

Inspirational! As always, great editing, great commentary, and thanks for being consistent!

[@victoria4127]

So hype for Classic aaaaa, great video like always!

[@D3Z3R7]

"It might sound cheesy, but Classic WoW isn't just a game." Of course not. _~~World of Warcraft is a feeeeeliiiiiinng!~~_

[@rockpoppermadness3790]

For the HORDE. Always been since I started playing. I still played Alliance also. Listen to Booty Bay Tavern music or alliance tavern music while you do one quest for an hour. It helps to keep you going.

[@death2896]

Bro your videos are so well made. Crushin' it as usual.

[@icenicaow1337]

"Van Cleef pay big for your heads!" I have not heard that in years and it really took me back to a time before my life started to spiral downwards. Thank you, I really miss that time.

[@rinaloume]

Just learning to play wow now and this is super helpful. Most beginner guides assume some knowledge of the game. Thanks for covering the basics!

[@Kuukeksi]

You're killing it dude, I love your edits & videos. Definitely my favourite WoW youtuber. I rarely even leave comments, but thought to myself that maybe you'll get a little push to keep you going from positive feedback :) When I was a teen, I didn't really have much money and my parents didn't like the idea of a subscription based game, so I never got to experience the game during the launch. Can't wait to finally get in on all the action I missed.

[@gvdz3395]

You have the best classic vids. Love the humor

[@MrLeberwurst93]

Love your videos :D They are just always on point really fun to watch and brighten my day. Keep up the great work :P

[@eldenrah9959]

Wow, this takes me back! I played this when it came out, and I didn't know most of this list!

[@Jannison]

Dude, Great video! Thanks for clearing a lot of things up. I play wow but not played classic and had a lot of questions / things I needed clarifying - Your video really helped! :D Have subbed :)

[@bjornerlendur4606]

The music at the end was the most nostalgíc part. And that Silas Darkmoon spám.

[@rrsarmiento]

great video. what a throwback!!

[@josejuanandrade4439]

I did learn a lot from this video! Mainly that after almost 15 years playing this game, there isn't anything new for me to learn about this game. (But seriously now, great video man! thumbs up!)

[@unclejesse2506]

My main man Platinum! Back at it again with another awesome video

[@Einar9292]

Loved the video, amazing editing and thought out script. I normally don't comment on videos but I felt that you should hear it.

[@solomani5959]

Thanks. Haven’t played in a decade and want to come back for classic hardcore. Well edited as well 😊

[@kleides]

thank you! This video helped me. I just started my WOW adventure.

[@MrWarHogs]

Great guide, love the way you edited it

[@calebbiglin5162]

This is exactly what I needed before playing classic!

[@0Wayland]

Good luck, friend!

[@bradleygibson1603]

I started playing during the Cata expansion, look forward to trying out classic! My Gf has never played WoW either so its gunna be a fun adventure! Thanks for the awesome video :)

[@wolfpack8005]

Really loved the video i didnt know about weapon trainers i am playing classic for the first time and im enjoying it thank you for the video

[@scyntek22]

That 7:12 gold offer. :D Nice vid btw.

[@colbo1001]

I'm new to WoW obviously and it's taking me a while to get the hang of this game while trying not to get overloaded. This helped a lot. Thank you

[@PsychoDiesel48]

This was super useful!

[@Acrendon444]

Great video, very informative, straight to the point. Thanks

[@capatej]

12 years of playing this. watched it anyway, just because it's classic content even i already heard everything for thousand times :D

[@sjdave]

Helpful video with chuckles. Thank you.

[@GarredHATES]

I am well prepared for Classic but I watch anyways because Platinum is awesome.

[@kevinjordan7282]

It's actually this MONTH! I'll say it again even though I just did and you also said it. It's ACTUALLY THIS MONTH!!!!

[@joakimdam7763]

I love your vids. Even as a seasoned player it's still very entertaining!

[@bart10050]

I never played WoW before Cata, and played it seriously only since Legion. Though after watching a lot of your videos about Classic, I feel like this is what I have been looking for in an MMORPG, I hope that's gonna be the case, great videos! :)

[@flambelk4489]

Great video Plat, keep it up!

[@xarnir5840]

Im so hyped for going back home too classic.

[@DBowd3n]

The quality of all your videos are so fucking good.

[@jare3459]

Thanks clear this up I'm in wow for story and Lore you save my time of try classic but now after hearing all this I might try classic wow after I experience enough wow story/lore

[@andrefilipe9042]

Watch Nobble 87 on KZbin. He tells really good stories about the game.

[@Mateusz-zs4bs]

The Troll shaman from 1:57 is called Thex for sure!

[@goobyseks]

Mateusz i want to name my troll shaman thex aswell what a coincidence

Apparently, there is also a fourth type - RPPVP

this beginner's guide content.. its like made out of a DREAM O.o way next level, GJ

[@Lfsjacob]

The gold/level seller at 7:12 is just perfect

[@chuppathingy2848]

Great video! Counting the days till this releases. What's your advice on a good 1-60 leveling guide/Addon?

[@Strangeman96]

Nice Video dude, even though I know most of the stuff I still enjoy those videos :)

[@Icosiol]

Platinum level content as usual! :D

[@halo6842]

The cut to Tai Lopez caught me completely off-guard and killed me 😂😂

[@curiousfishie]

Yaaaaaaaas! Produce that Classy goodness! Go Plat, Go! 💜 I've also noticed that Arcane Shot isn't all that worthy. I do actually invest in Track Beasts because it oftentimes saves my ass when I want to play the avoidance game haha. Also helps with finding mobs fast for farming, rares to tame, and quickly finishing up beast-related quests. That's just my take on it tho :)

[@paulhercl1095]

Great videos! Laughed the whole time

[@gamersresidence6040]

Very good video!

[@hypnotoad8871]

This video is amazing. TYSM.

[@MindaugasPA]

Great video, thanks

[@SleepyDemon22]

I’m watching this to make myself a guide to teach myself how to play so I can surprise my boyfriend and this is extremely helpful!! I can’t wait to watch more of your videos to learn everything I need to know

[@BullocK1495]

I've played for over 11 years but I'm still watching this.

[@babda]

I started during bc and I will play classic so hopefully this will be useful ;)

[@Dashy1988]

Awww shit. When that original theme music plays... Chills

[@joedarling5175]

Didn't need any of this but you said please watch so I watched lol. Good video. Also for hunters. Make sure to complete your follow up lvl 10 quest to learn how to train your pets skills...that seems to get missed often enough.

[@eric329]

That “ knowledge” part killed me 😂😂

[@Hassan94123]

The Chromie lip sync at 00:58 is just PERFECT!

[@PlatinumWoW]

The real face reveal.

[@asdfghjkl900321]

6:15 Track Beast cost like 10 copper because you learn it around lvl 4 and it is useful for skinners for example or if you are looking for pets to tame. But the tracks that come later like track undead or giants are really unnecessary unless you have so much gold, you don't know what to spend it on anymore.

[@klitzy]

Not new to WoW but I just love watching classic vids

[@BRfanatic21]

Big Pog when I see a platinum wow video

[@nwren4637]

I would love it if you could order your class guides into a separate play list. You do a really great job but it can be hard to find specific videos.

[@crziblonde]

I can't wait!

[@TheRealNenharm]

Yay more Platinum wow!

[@Com2craft]

im a simple man, i see platinum wow upload i press like

[@ArthArmani]

Thx, never playd wow this helped alot:)

[@squidbiscuit1217]

How do you get those characters to pop up on the screen? thats so cool, i need whatever program that is for my videos.

[@h20dickless99]

I just got wow today started playing classic for the very first time and I love it never played wow till now I slept on this game

[@ggshinobee7553]

So hyped!

[@andrew51723]

what do you use to edit your videos? love your editing

[@staggerlee2774]

Haven't played since cata. Just got my laptop today. Cant wait to start grinding.

[@BigWhoopZH]

But Platinum. What’s the best hunter pet?

[@chikechovis2499]

Xiverz was a joke you tryhard

[@Hero4fun77]

Rock.

[@Hero4fun77]

Giant rock.

[@agata5488]

I loved it!

[@ranorando613]

I'd definitely get track beasts and humanoids tho, pretty helpful for quests and pvp especially if it's a high demand mob with low spawns. Plus you get them pretty early so they're relatively cheap.

[@Makujah_]

Huh, as a TBC kid I thought meeting stones on elysium were broken, but now I had to read their entire patch history and it's quite fascinating! Can't believe they worked basically as WotLK's automatic LFG in patch 1.5

[@S0MM3RZ]

Great Video! I wanna try WoW, never played it, always seen videos on youtube about it. Just such big of a game that i think i will never get the full image i guess.

[@saryn1829]

As a complete wow virgin I’m so excited. I might refrain from watching these kinds of vids and go in completely blind

[@JayBigDadyCy]

I honestly think that's the best way if you want to recreate the experience of all us OG WoW players. We knew nothing about what we were doing or where we were going. We just knew we loved it.

[@Victorpro99]

Josh L Hows it going so far? :)

[@saryn1829]

Getbosse I made it to Goldshire and couldn’t find the mine so I gave up lmao. Will try again after work so far it’s pretty cool though and I know early game is pretty lackluster in combat so I’m not judging yet

[@FUgays1]

As a hunter on Light's hope, I'd reccomend getting Eagle eye it's a lot more useful than people think. Super handy for finding stuff in the open world and tracking rare spawns or quest mobs. You can stand guard in one place and keep an eye out for every surrounding spawn, like thsoe generals in Northwatch Hold. You really see the difference when there's a lot of people competing for them. Also super fun and handy for ganking alliance in Ashenvale, there's nowhere to hide :)

[@jeffagain7516]

Also the go-to for scanning a rare Pet spawn area.
