Westfall - Music & Ambience | World of Warcraft Classic

[@berkinbolukbasi]

For some strange reason, whenever I quit WoW for an extended period of time, it's my memories in Westfall that bring me back. It's like a real place where I spent my childhood. Oh the feels...

[@Crossroads551]

Westfall has such a unique feel, I know exactly what you mean.

[@choggy4214]

Came here for the exact same reason and to say the same thing!

The only thing hitting the feels harder than this is Defias Pillagers.

[@uodige1]

Hope you got some moments to relax since posting, my friend. ❤

[@Arcatir]

Started playing in fall 2005. Young impressionable me. Outside in the real world we had our autumn storms, colorful trees, cold nights, warmish days, pumpkins and barren fields. Then, arriving in Westfall which mirrored the real world, with this majestic music and gorgeous (still) graphics. Man, this game manages to deliver the same feelings it did almost 20 years ago.

[@tylerprudhomme]

I was 10 years old and a new magical world just opened itself to me. thank you blizzard, despite what you have become

[@LyhFlare]

I miss these times... Nostalgia hurts so bad.

[@jake06750]

I like old Westfall. I've lived in the Midwest most of my life and I like the idea of a zone consisting mostly of farmland. Deadmines was one of my favorite early dungeons as well.

[@Meisio]

I am a 'city boy', but the more I get old I like the farmland idea as well. Blizzard made afterwards other zones like it, but this was the original one. I did not understand at that time what was the lore in Westfall, I though Defias are just some bandits, but again later, I've understood this is a 'morally grey' issue (like many others in WoW :) ) Salutation Jake!

[@ianr5018]

Back in the day when u had to clear the entire deadmines by running too it, whew that dungeon was fun back then.

[@Sleepy1988]

I didn’t realize it until just now, but Westfall is probably partly based on the American Midwest during the dust bowl. I live in California and during the summer and early fall months parts of CA really resemble how Westfall looks, and I like to listen to this and walk around.

[@aroundthefur1210]

[@lafleur_]

A long years ago, my first day in wow, I was alone. After a couple of hours in Elwyn Forest I decided to look what was a the end of the forest so I discovered Westfall and my real life ended in that moment. :)

[@TheOmegaAlfa]

Lucky you, I went south to some dark forest noticed a wolf (beasts are no match for mage) and nuked it with Fireball lev 2. That’s how I learned about mob levels, zones and corpse runs.

[@3runjosh]

@@TheOmegaAlfa lol, I remember leveling my first character, a rogue in Elwynn, jumping over the water to take on a wolf and could just barely kill it. My level was so low that a lot of times other wolves would agro from miles away causing me to sprint into the water for an escape. Adrenaline rush that was!

[@TheOmegaAlfa]

@@3runjosh , indeed, I learned most about aggro ranges when I moved to UGC to pick up flowers at level 34. I still hear Benny Hill music at the back of my mind. xD

[@jonathandonley3299]

1:02 When I started playing Classic WoW last summer, I finally got my first character across the bridge and entered Westfall. I heard this and my eyes teared up from all the memories of that place. The quests, the players, the Defias... I was so glad I decided to play again.

And the fact that we first enter Deadmines we are covered in white gear. Then the first dilemma of a caster is keeping Emberstone Staff that dropped or Staff of Westfall (reward).

[@thedeveIoper]

Elwynn to Westfall to Redridge. A small step for an adult gamer, but quite a journey for a kid back when Wrath of the Lich King was just released. God, I cherish those days.

[@nickillmann3193]

Man westfall takes me back when I was a kid waking up and making a little breakfast and hoping on a toon that I created days earlier and finally coming here it felt like a reward

[@eviladam23]

If there ever was a nostalgic wow track this is it!

[@Meisio]

I think that's a good one, because it is played early for both factions (Westfall here for the Alliance and in Durotar for the Horde). It has also instruments which suggest one faction or another (e.g.: drums for the Horde).

[@vaguehonk]

All these years later it still blows my mind how the WoW developers managed to achieve so much with so little. The graphics was pretty basic even back then, but somehow the combination of great art, memorable sound design and beautiful music worked together to create a real sense of place and a living world.

[@byteme0000]

Westfall is my favorite zone. I love the whole vibe there.

[@JustinMaderify]

Just picked up classic wow and I love it. I spent level 16 - 20 I love the music and atmosphere of this place.

Lol I kept hearing gnolls in my head...😁❤️ Thanks for the video! Always enjoyed questing in Westfall.

[@Meisio]

Any player, no matter the allegiance should like all these starting zones from the Classic WoW. These zones are the true essence of WoW. Every legendary player from nowadays was once low level and un-geared and had to deal with creatures like gnolls, kobolds, imps etc. :) Thank you for watching ❤

Westfall felt expansive, melancholy, threatening. I love the faded loveliness of this zone and its music.

[@DV-tx6ol]

Damn, I miss it. Regardless of where you are in life now. Free time or no, as a kid you felt like you had all the time in the world. WoW felt like stepping into Narnia. What you imagined gave the world magic, life. Then once you looked behind the curtain, learning how games were made etc. you saw the limitations. Call it a hallucination, but it doesn't stop the brief period you shared in that world with real people. All of us together, our collective dreaming created a world of beauty and wonder. Camaraderie.

[@TheYonGamingShow]

These videos are great! Turn them on when I'm doing house work and listen to the amazing music. Keeps me motivated.

[@nomanssky8837]

Most epic. Most calm. This is best location in entire game. Back in the days i just came from school and was sleeping and listening this music. Its so restful music.

[@survivalist246]

Yes 🗿

[@Oystercatcher247]

This video is my favourite. It instantly takes me back to the summer of 2005, it's a masterpiece. I fear when I stop playing classic... I'll continue to come back and remind myself on how good it was.

[@ryle1732]

Westfall was my favorite zone. I started playing right near the end of Vanilla, so I consider myself a TBC baby but it was still Vanilla times when I hit here. I always missed the Defias quest line here and that was the only thing I did with classic servers. It was so nice to "re-live" it even if it was way more crowded than it was. I might have to go back for another Westfall playthrough now that the release is way over.

[@nickbauerly5438]

I forgot how beautiful Westfall can be. Especially those views of the setting sun.

[@ziyeren5509]

During Legion Pre launch I was at Westfall defending against the demon invasion on my orc shaman main, first time i fought side by side with alliance players, idk i just love westfall not just a questing zone but i feel nostalgic when i m there.

[@TheToneBender]

I remember on day 1 of playing I just started running at some point. Ended up in Westfall, but I had no idea how to get back to a place where I could comfortably level up, so I had to delete my character.

[@cleanestbestpleasure14]

I had a similar experience on a Horde character. I saw some guys jumping off a cliff in the starting area of Durator so I decided to jump. I ended up in Ratchet.

[@Zack_Wester]

Westfall the first Zone where Red marked mobs dont just mean they will attack you first. but they will attack you first 20 yard away (and not the 3 yards in Elwynn) and mobs are now in squad and not just solo. meaning oh you attacked that lone murlock... well his buddy that was haning out whit 3 other 30 yards away just now aggro.

During the beta or stress test back in 2004 I played a human paladin and got him to level 19. The last thing I remember doing was going through Westfall and doing a Deadmines run with a large group of people. We got all the way to the giant ship in the secret cavernous harbor. We worked our way up the ship but never made it to the final boss up top, which I believe was VanCleef.

Got my first BoE blue drop here. At level 45. I was helping run my friends though Deadmines, but before that I grew impatient and killed a random boar or something. I was so confused when I seen it.

[@aroundthefur1210]

This is the same music that plays in Durotar as well and I believe also maybe in Thousand Needles? Really enjoy this one and I think all of us have really fond memories of our little nooby characters running around in Azeroth struggling to make a name for themselves when they hear this song. Those truly were some good times and it would be nice for the game to bring our characters back down to a more "grounded" level.

That couple with a horse and a wagon in the beginning are the first NPCs you meet when entering Westfall, if not mistaken they give you the initial quests that send you to Sentinel Hill.

Yes, it's the Westfall Lighthouse (46:30 in my movie). In WoW Classic this island does not have any special music. It's the same as for the rest of Westfall (Plains aka Shimmering Flats OST). I went even further, checked the Retail music as well - hmm... the same theme _Plains._ Are you sure you haven't heard it somewhere else? Salutations!

Meisio , yes right. I just have idea about my solved : Main music but sometime change into other music of place in that teritory; togheter with ambience of that place (walls, birds, ), And again back to main music of this teritory. It's just a my idea for second option. Anyway i enjoy in your video-audio ^^

[@Meisio]

Thank you for the feedback. I've tried that on Classic videos, but I've received comments from the people that I should stick only with that zone's music (for authenticity).

Thanks, unexpected and timely :D Nothing fits the upcoming autumn like good ol' Westfall. It's nice to have a taste of Classic in the middle of all this BFA hype. Although BFA looks good I still miss the slower pace, simpler times of Classic. Some dungeons really feel more like Dance Dance Revolution than WoW these days. The lore, too, is getting tired. I too expect some announcement at Blizzcon, maybe summer 2019 or something. Can even be later, I'm not in a hurry.

[@arma2819]

This comment couldn't be more spot on.

[@gravityhypernova]

This is the zone I spent the most time in, both for leveling so many alts... but also for the ambiance and music. For me, it also really evoked the world in The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, a favorite series I had been reading since I was young. The idea of a 'wild west' region that had this curious fusion of simple farm life, with the anachronistic presence of obsolete, mysterious technology: like the Harvest Golems of Westfall, or the broken-down oil rigs of Citgo in the Dark Tower world. In both, the feeling of a world that has "moved on", and a menacing undercurrent of despair.
