My brother passed away last December (2021) from a Drug Overdose and it just makes me remember the times when everything was so innocent and pure. How things change, how life changes...

Still somehow one of my best experiences ever in my entire life. You had to be there...

[@idontcare9041]

Yeah BC and WotLK were peak WoW. I played Classic too but not that seriously. Only started getting really into it when BC came out and somehow got into the best PvP guild on the server that was for 18+ when I was 14 lol. Ended up playing a lot of Arena and open world PvP. I made pretty close friends in that game while I was bullied in school but online people looked up to me because I had 2200 ratings. We had a lot of fun and all loved the PvP videos people like Neilyo and Reckful released and it kinda pioneered what we all know today on KZbin and Twitch. It was a amazing time in my life despite my struggles. I played both expansions excessively start to finish but I felt like the game was slowly losing something and Cataclysm somehow disappointed me that I quit it 2-3 times until I finally did for good.

I can speak to the feeling, I remember preordering Wotlk and then the excitement, raiding was incredibly fulfilling, I loved raiding as a main tank and my healer.The countless hours spent on ventrilo(basically discord in the early 2000s)together as a guild joking, laughing, having fun and enjoying the challenge. It’s a feeling I’ve never been able to replicate since, feeling like a genuine team where each person was skilled and knew their job and worked hard together for a common goal. In those moments you could feel a true bond and true friendship, for many these were the only friends they may have had. It was truly an experience I’ve not seen again in any form, after Cataclysm the game shifted into something different, which is fine however it seems largely this experience comes from the time period and technology available and the unprecedented nature of WoW at the time, nothing else even came close.

The fondest memory of wotlk was the release of Ulduar. I remember having a crazy dream about it and the next day woke up early and had to wait until it was released. I had a level 80 death knight and rogue and went into Ulduar like right when it came out. One of the best times of my life.

[@Fuzzalump]

I’m so glad he has all these great memories playing his favorite game at the time with his mom. It’s a bit more sad watching it after his mom passed but also heartwarming to hear him tell these stories of him and his mom. RIP Asmon’s mom.

[@nataranja3030]

Just watched the whole video. I never played WotLK but I felt the same love for EverQuest in 2003-2005. I would give up my leg to have that love and passion for a video game again. Going to bed at night, excited to wake up and play again the next (or same) day. Building real friendships in game. I really miss it.

[@rooskadoodle5952]

One of the greatest mother and son bonds of gaming history. 1:30:20 just makes me tear up to hear this. he and his mom sharing their wow experience together, and as a mother does, she passes on the reins of the raven lord for him. Could he tell this story again without breaking down? Because it sure is hard to hear it

[@Lacerated_Heart]

I love the dynamic and connection Asmon has with his mom. It's beautiful. Makes me so jealous that I don't have any parents. I can at least feel that happiness from him.

[@llwonder]

His mom passed on reins of the dread raven. Almost shed a tear to my eye, that’s wholesome shit

I've really enjoyed these flashback stories. Nice work, as always. It's pretty cool to see how all these events impacted you as a person and as a player. Again, great job.

Asmon's arc with Cora ended up being so awesomely wholesome considering how toxic it started, lol. From giving her shit in raid about not bringing acorns to clearing heroic Lich King together just before Cata came out. You love to see it.

Honestly I’m feeling nostalgic as f without even having played in wrath. This is what I’d wish wow was like today. It sounds like u really had the time of your life, and I envy that.

[@DirtyPossum23]

Watching all of this was so nostalgic. Happy to have experience this game in its prime during WoLK, but I can’t help having a sense of sadness over it all knowing I will never experience something like this again. For a 15 year old kid fresh into high school having no real responsibilities, obligations, or priorities I played WoW until I had to go to school at 6am and I agree with asmon, it was pure bliss and one of the happiest times of my life.

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

Hearing him talk about Wrath of the Lich King brought back memories. That's when I first started playing WoW and had some awesome memories. My guild and I went 12/12 Heroic ICC 10m and got our Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquisher mounts and stopped at 11/12 Heroic ICC 25m. We did come back and cleared heroic ruby sanctum. Didn't get Shadowmourne because once people got their mounts they pretty much stopped raiding. I'm looking forward to Classic Wotlk, thanks for sharing your story, Asmon.

I will say that it is quite sad to see someone you had been playing a game with for years, talking nearly every night leave a game or just fold all together never to be seen again. At this point in my life all of my steam friends logged off for the last time years ago. Sometimes I’d scroll through the list to recall the fond memories I had with them

[@mon0theist_tv]

God this brings back memories. I started playing towards the end of BC, majority of the time was spent in Lich King, I still remember when I dinged 80. I wish the game was still this good. I kept Champion of the Frozen Wastes title for such a long time. I remember having to portal dance on Ulduar because instances wouldn't work, that was infuriating

There's no way to deny this: TBC and WotLK were the best periods of time in gaming history. It will probably never be surpassed. Those were the years.
