Become a Patron! / vedrim
I'd like to retroactively dedicate this song to the memory of my long-time guildmate Jacob/Mguy/Murdertrain. You were an awesome person with a great sense of humor (and excellent musical taste as well!), and I only wish that I had spent more time gaming/talking with you after we stopped playing WoW. You'll be missed by many, and my deepest condolences go out to his family and friends.

Since my guild finally downed Heroic Lich King (25) last week, as promised, here is my long-awaited trance remix of "O Thanagor", more commonly known as Arthas' Theme from the Wrath of the Lich King opening cinematic though it was first heard at the end of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. This mix has been in the works for close to seven months, so I hope you all enjoy it, and congratulations to my guild, Shai Hulud of US-Duskwood!

[@vedrim]

Nearly five years later and I still miss those days terribly. ;_;7

[@sanamon]

I miss dalaran steps. :/ The game will never have that sense of community that wrath did. Cross realm zones, random dungeon queuing and garrisons have left us scattered. But still, we have tunes like this to bring it back.

[@gtaplayer1533]

Aaron Campbell like there where no rnd dungeons in wotlk @ vedrim yeah me too i always come back to your song when i miss wotlk so bad

[@eetu45]

vedrim why did you stop making wow music? this is one of your best songs imo

[@KajoTTV]

I miss the wrath days also even tho I didnt raid that much as I do know. Wrath had just the feelings, I hope that legion could make me feel the same as it seems like an good expansion.

what do you mean, being in a guild hasn't changed from back then?

[@Morgomiredude]

doing lfr is your choice, nobody is forcing you to do it. Join a heroic or mythic raiding guild. And btw, people were steamrolling wotlk normal raids with pugs, remeber Naxx ? people were farming it with blues and greens lol

@@Morgomiredude mythic raiding its just too hard, its impossible to do for the average player, it became an e-sport. thats why its sucks.

Imagine my surprise seeing "Shai Hulud" and Duskwood when I was looking up "No King Rules Forever" just to listen to it. I didn't recognize your name but I had a feeling and sure enough Bone Storm is there by Vedrim. You were the Paladin! We got your Shadowmourne. I was Decade (Troll Warrior). I think I'm in this picture on the right side but it is blurry as hell. What a trip. Hope you are doing well!

[@ChrisRoffe]

There are a few of us from Shai Hulud playing Classic on Benediction as Alliance if anyone is interested in coming back and playing with "frends"

[@kazadream]

I just finished the Shadowmourne questline yesterday for the first time ever, Hearing Sylvanas pronouncing these words made me think instantly To this track, and brought all the feelings coming with... I love this track, my favourite WoW nostalgia memory reminder

I miss it so bad man. Took those days for granted. Thought grinding frost badges was annoying, but I would give anything to go back now. It’s like Andy said on the office “I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them.” Once they do TBC after classic, hopefully WOTLK will be next.

[@vedrim]

Thanks man! Glad I was able to evoke that kind of nostalgia.

[@kazadream]

@@vedrim Thank you man, possible To buy it cd quality on your bandcamp ? Or is it instrumental version only?

[@raedenjay]

In her speech, Sylvanas is like the voice of the gamers and the lich king is blizzard. Azeroth is the gaming world. Blizzard is paying for its lack of care for the lore & gameplay. But gamers stuck around. But no longer. As players leave, what happens next? Their memories & passions, many years of their lives were tied to this game, where the devs were also passionate about it. What do they do now? What of those freed from its grasp but still shackled to their memories & love of what it once was? Leave me, I have much to ponder

[@vedrim]

Thanks man, glad you enjoy my work! Feel free to use them in your videos =).

[@krusebuse]

I remember the real old days in Vanilla and in TBC, that was pure happiness for me and my guild. We had so much fun raiding, every gateway to a new part of the raiding instance was like exploring a whole new world, i truly wish they will bring back this for Pandaria.

[@ShishiVids]

I want to go back.

[@h4un1]

This takes me back to when I was in love with WoW. Downling the Lich King for the first time, nothing has been like that since, nothing compares to that feeling. Thank you for this.

[@orion310591RS]

March 2008... It was winter time. Freezing cold and snowy. Friends from school suggested game we may play together. I have recently got 512 KB/s internet connection so I was able to try online game. On 15th of March 2008 I was my first char, Rogue. They said I can be invisible, I can run away if I want, I can attack when and how I want. I liked that. One friend picked mage, second warrior and druid, third was priest, and I was rogue. My first screenshot ever I don't remember what I was taking picture of, I guess it was portals or I pressed key by mistake... Notice resolution 800x600 and that TBC graphics :) It was so cool to sneak around enemies... I always wanted to be invisible, to see how it is... Then I realized how much stealth is going to make leveling easier, I will avoid death many times... Encountering strange mob in Darkshire... Leveling was slowly since I had no idea where to go, I didn't even knew that gray quests do not give xp... on 61st lvl , guy I was leveling with, told me that there is portal and there are new areas for leveling but he couldnt enter, so he showed me portal... ... and asked me what do I see... my first view on outland, it was like I was in space, 4th dimension... I continued my leveling in this amazing areas... which were a lot more hostile ones... I was first one who hit level 70. I was glad I finished with missions. Then friend told me that now I can do raids. And I did. I did played video games on PC before WoW, but nothing was like this. 25 people working like a clock to kill 1000 times stronger enemy. First raid was the hardest one. The Black Temple. And then, blind and deadly. Illidan Stormrage. I was thrilled to stand near to him and stare at him. Months were passing by, I was doing BT, hyjal, karazhan, and from time to time, Tempest Keep, oh man... that adrenaline for ashes of al ar, with no vote points, vote shops, and hours to clean way to boss... and then that tiny chance to even see rare mount drop... but no luck... yet. Time to be nostalgic... does anyone recognize old AH? with entrance from another side? :) First sign I was becoming hardcore player is when after 17hrs of playing WoW that day, I joined Hyjal raid... and then, I actually got dagger This is what Zul Aman used to be sometime in TBC... Horde gathering in cathedral ... they probably gather here since vanilla :) in tbc times you didnt had sw harbor or flying... think on that You all heard for corrupted ash bringer. But, have you seen cleansed ashbringer? It cannot be found on wowhead.com anymore, because its removed from game. Google it and you may find some old site with item. :) Also images of white sword are rare :) Then I got bored and decided to try another class, something different, I picked hunter. Hunters were using quivers then, with bullets or arrows... always checking to have enough ammo before raid :D And then, it dropped while I was on hunter... I kinda abandoned my rogue so I wasnt too sad for it droping while I wasnt on rogue. and some random moment when warglaive + spell enchant pop up.. or item that isnt legendary but have become legend... Martins Fury. Google it. Its removed from game. After doing all raids getting gear, I got bored, again, I picked totally different class. Protection Paladin. It was tough as rock, nobody coudn't kill me. And now I see coincidence that I made Demmentor in 2008, and Dementorion in 2010, both same name and both paladins and both tanks... between those 2 chars I was playing warlock for a looong time... On the new years evening, horde came infront of my homecity, Exodar, and we had a party... Once again, the same thing, tanked Tempest Keep, karazhan... got ashes of al ar and decided to move to another char but this time it was harder, I had ashes of al ar and I really liked it. I still like it. 11 months since I started playing WoW I decided to level warlock. Warlock in TBC was a killer. At least I knew to use him better than other classes I tried so far. Dueling results I even used addon to say where I am and where I killed horde so they come and chase me... Soon after that, my first server got upgraded to wotlk, and got sued by blizzard and got closed. I got dissapointed by fact how we are forced to throw away old gear, and somehow I didnt liked the fact that now one warlock is going to have 20k hp, and that was a hp of a TBC end game geared tank. I did played on Basiliskos warlock but nothing serious, I was more of explorer than raider or pvp-er... On 16th of Feb 2012, I came to molten, because of Cataclysm opening. When I was choosing class, I had a vision... I remembered how tough was paladin when I was tanking... I wanted to have one main char... I wanted to be able to join any raid or any guild... I wanted to be respected... I wanted to be recognized... I wanted to be desired in raid/guild... I wanted to be tank. I got what I could on AH and started tanking... in beginning it was hard, I didnt knew that I need to move mobs in HoO from healing circles, I didnt knew many things, people yelled at me people were telling rude things to me, I wanted to quit tanking... but then I actually saw that I never make the same mistake twice... it is responsible job but I could handle the pressure... had luck to find people/guild who were willing to share advices via teamspeak... Now I have 392 ilvl tank, with 359ilvl shield, which I am using since I was 320ilvl when I got to lvl85. Now I have 4/4 BoT , 7/7 FL, 8/8 DS, 5700 achi points (cata only), 136 mounts, 155 companions... Now I am respected tank, Now I am recognized, (not by whole server ofc) Now I am desired to be in raid/guild. Now I am tank. I also have Orionskyhunt Hunter, Basiliskos Warlock, and since recently Katablepo druid, on which I am playing when I get bored, but Dementorion is main. No more changing mains like in past. I had one druid in TBC but I never used him or healed with him... kinda sad. Since start I had need to write tutorials about this complicated games... was writing them on all servers I played in past, and here are molten ones In the end, i have total of 153d 4h = 3676h time played on all chars, all expansions, all servers. And you have read my story all to the end, I have one question for you... ... what's your story?
