10 Things Never Added to WoW But Were in the Game Files (World of Warcraft) 

some of those runas clips are used. the "My touch actually hurts" and the "every last drop of energy out of your corpse" lines are used when you click him alot

Runas was one of the quest chains I most remembered from that expansion. I was genuinely sad that I could not save him, but glad that he got to redeem himself before all was lost. Quests of that sort almost always end terribly, so it was nice to have one end on a tragic but uplifting note. That he’s dealing with addiction just made it strike home so much more as I imagine most people can think of someone who has gone through it, so I’m glad they went with that outcome.

Maybe a dev intented to make a Goldshire District and once the other devs got wind of it they pulled the plug and called it Warrior District as a cover up.

I loved the Runas quest chain, because it didn't end in such a cliche manner. Wow is far too prone to telegraphing betrayals falling just short of naming a mustache twirling character, Yugdab.

Rommath was supposed to be a traitor *WITH* Benedictus. You can find the same dialog but with Varian accusing Benedictus. I think it could be an early Cata quest to discover a spy in the 2 factions because, while it's hard to find the Varian counterpart, I very clearly remember (while watching Totalbiscuit and Jesse Cox Cata beta testing at the time) seeing a video with those voice files. So it was early Cata.

When I was leveling my first character, (I joined at the beginning of BfA) a Blood Elf Rogue, I remember levelling through Hillsbrad Foothills and coming across Orkus. For those who don't remember or maybe haven't levelled through the zone as Horde, Orkus is an NPC you first meet in the Welcome to the Machine quest, the quest where you BECOME the quest giver. He seems like a strange or arrogant person at first but as you level with him later in the zone you slowly get a little attached to him, and for good reason. Orkus sacrifices himself so you can get important Alliance plans in the quest Heroes of the Horde! but before he dies his dragon, named Kasha, comes back for him and his dying speech is a punch in the gut and it goes as follows "K... Kasha... you... came back for me... You are the best friend Orkus ever had, **Orkus coughs** I... I never knew anyone like you. You saved me, . More than once. I... I know it's selfish, but I have something to ask of you. Please take care of Kasha. Make sure she finds a cold place to live. Somewhere safe..." *_Kingslayer Orkus dies. Kasha later lands at Tarren Mill with you and Orkus' lifeless body._* This questline is one of the only ones I almost cried, along with Runas, I know they're not real characters but... rest in peace you two.

I'm glad Rommath's unused voice files was removed. I don't want to see him become a traitor and be killed. He's such a great character

Hey, I made most of the WoW TCRF article! Thanks for including it in the video

Great vid! nice to see you producing again!

Amazing video! Thank you for making such content, i trully enjoy it :)

Glad to see new top 10s! Only complaint is that I was really confused that it jumped from 10 to 7!

Hey new sub in the community, but cant stop bingeing your content. I used to play WoW as a child getting into it right as burning crusade came out and stopped playing when mists was announced. However i never had been very dedicated to the game. Got back into it maybe a week ago and am totally hooked, but I'd like to know more about the various holidays since it currently is the lunar festival. I wanna keep leveling, but also don't wanna miss out on the content the holiday events offer. Anyway you got some awesome content and I'd love to see some stuff about in game events of the past and present.

A really nice and informative video, very well done.

I loved it. It's amazing what gets cut as compared to what stayed.

I really like the amount of ads in this video. 4 adds seams very reasonable. Good job!

2:30 Warrior's District sounds vaguely like the Officer's Lounge revamp that came with Cata

I think they just really loved having Jim Cummings as a voice actor, the guy is a legend, and if you get Jim Cummings to voice something, you use it as much as possible!! 👌👌

Another excellent video from a champion WoW channel.

The neurbian model was for a wall climbing mount that was planned someone else covered it in a video I don't remember who though

Please make more of these videos I've been waiting soooooo long for one of these videos

Arent the Nerubian model was supposef to be the wall climbing mount for the nerubian zone in wotlk?

As someone who struggled with addiction at the time I was really happy with the way that was portrayed.

I haven't watched your videos for like 8 months bc my interest for the game died.... but damn! Good to see your channel is doing well and that you are putting out so much content! Awesome

Oooh feels like a while since we got one of these

"top 10 unreleased WoW battlegrounds"

Some of those Rumas lines were in the game as the ones he says when he gets annoyed by being clicked on too many times.

A quick correction to your topic on realm first titles. They were actually released on live and we did earn the titles. I got warbringer for my warrior on arthas pvp. It was that after the first weekly reset is when they removed it. But I have some good memories of earning that title it was an extremely hard fight of me soloing against an entire guild who harassed me as well as hundreds of horde who were paid to try and kill me in PVP conflict.

I had the realm first for Fishing when Wrath came out. Best accomplishment of my life so far.

I still hope the Moba Map comes! They did plan to make also a Neruber Raid (in one of the inis is still the gate to it) but because of time they sadly had to cancel it. Like for the water Raid by Vash'ir, where the players had to safe Neptulon from the kraken that should control him... But that was given up because they give Cataclysm up after the to early start because the players were to impatient...

My favorite is the unused troll female hair... It was a ponytail, and there were long bangs at the front which covered the left eye. At the time of cataclysm it was still accessable fromt he wow model viewer.

You should have mentioned the Cataclysm heirloom rings. In the game files from Cataclysm, there were four heirloom rings based on old rings: Ornate Band of Accuria for agility classes, Antique Myrmidon's Signet for strength-based DPS, Gleaming Seal of the Archmagus for casters (duh) and Burnished Dark Iron Ring for tanks. None of them made it into the game and we only had one heirloom ring until Warlords of Draenor.

"Ah the long knives come out!" Is that a reference to the Night of the Long Knives that happened in Nazi Germany?

Mine favourite things were Siege Machines which were planned for WoW Vanilla. First version of the WoW Vanilla box had manual which were even explaining how siege machines were supposed to work. But later box version of WoW with updated cd (a.k.a. no need to spend 12-30 hours downloading after you have opened the box) had altered manuals with no mention of siege machines. Funnily enough we needed second big expansion (WOTLK) to finally hav seieg machnies on Battlegreounds.

6:29 I once convinced someone that an item called Bastard Sword of the Donkey existed in the game and only dropped in a cave filled with troggs. He may still be trying to farm it to this day.

1:03 you can play on these islands on Turtle wow private server with quests on it

You're the master of Wow, Hirumendx

Turtle WoW, a private Vanilla + server, is adding Gillijim's Isle to its next content patch on December 27, as well as new zones and unique dungeons (like Karazhan Crypts!)! It already features a whole host of things Blizzard left out of Vanilla WoW, like Tauren Plainsrunning, and you can play as Vanilla Goblins and High Elves. If you'd like to see a really well-thought out blast back to the glory days of WoW, please check it out!

I remember finding those gloves and giving them to our grandmaster dps warrior, he was skeptical but then did mc and he said yea your right they're the best.

Oh snap he’s back!

You are back😍😍😍

In BC, after raids we would run a couple 5v5 matches, all decked out in full "of the Whale" greens and our team was WePvPinGreens. All I wanted was that 2H stat stick axe for my hunter lol, but we had fun.

Glad to see another top 10!

Me: reaching the data cap to download the game and thinking" i will explore every bit of those place" Blizzard: well, you know you downloaded 80gigs but in reality 50gigs are just dead and testing projects

Lor'themar's "no" finger wave at "There is a war coming"

I remembered Runas so well because his voice actor Jim Cummings also voiced Festus Krex from Skyrim.

* insert epic dwarf name here * of Khaz Modan. I NEED that!

I was the server first Grand Master Scribe on my server which I was super hype about but I hadn't realized they took away the title aspect of it till after I got it.

What is the music you use at 4:40? i would just love to listen to the full track :) thank you

This *isn't* Bruva Alfabusa's "If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device"! Is this some early April Fool's joke or something?

Wasn't expecting to hear Pete as a WoW character

Exclusive Titles sound great.

I like Rommath's voice, he sounds like someone who would be evil and narcissistic but I'd prefer him being a hero character, just because of how much his personality contrasts with his morals.

The exclusive title thing in WotLK. Even though they removed the titles, I remember early on during that expansion, whenever anyone did achieve one of those listed server firsts it would ping on everyone's screen... I remember it bumming me out because I thought I was going at a decent pace, and then towards the end of questing in Howling Fjord all the pings and pop-ups in chat started appearing.

I am more than surprised you didn't focus on the undercroft of Karazhan, a huge playzone that only bits ended up in the heroic dungeon and other bits ended up in rather poorly graphic'd quest areas outside the castle but oh so much that was lost... The mechanic of the tunnel to the pit at the bottom was awesome, that it reduced your health to 1 and then the idea was you had to with your friends in the proposed raid encounter have to manically heal everyone as undead swarmed with no threat tables so dps, healers were easy pickings. The underground cavern of the small questing area outside where the bodies are chained underwater was part of the original "second raid" area proposed.

Totally wanna see this content in wow vanilla+

Regarding Defense of the Alehouse, while it's not WoW, FFXIV actually did try something similar with it's "Rival Wings" pvp stuff(moba-style battleground for pvp in an mmo) and... it's pretty fun! :D Would've been interesting to see what a WoW take on the concept would've been like.

Rommath being a Twilight cultist would make sense IF one of the Old Gods had been whispering to him about how they could save his people. Maybe that's the way they had planned on going? Maybe that's where they got the idea for a certain Kul Tiras character plot later on...

I was able to get the server first level 80 Human when I played. I didn't know a title was supposed to come with it. Still one of the coolest moments of my wow time. Getting HUNDREDS of messages in a matter of seconds because it spammed the entire server. I missed getting realm first rogue by 17 minutes too. kinda. bummer there.

I only watch these vids so I can be told I’m one of the 29% subscribed.

You have a HayvenGames vibe, and I like that.

Runas is the best vocal cameo in the whole of Wow.

What quest add on is that used in the runas scene ??

Side-story: Server First Achievements were how a guild was caught cheating back in Wrath of the Lich King. The short version of this story was that the Guild Master had been hacked and a GM provided a Martin's Fury to them by mistake when restoring their account. They used the item to rapidly progress through raids like Ulduar and they obtained World First Achievements for downing raid bosses. They were caught because the community became very suspicious of this guild's insane progress. Side Story 2: The Vanilla WoW Manual also made mention of Tauren getting a racial that would allow them to act as their own mount. This ability never made it into the live version of the game.

can someone tell me whats the name of the song played in the end ?

HE'S BACK!

Hiru pronounces "during" like "dearing" 5:04

I miss server first titles. I would never get one, but it was a neat idea.

Whats The Song in 3:05

i think the unused rommath voice lines were for a dungeon boss or a different quest line entirely. one where, rather than the naga stealing the tide stone after you get it from the magic academy, rommath would be with you and lead to him betraying you for the mana crystals of the pools. this would probably be for a dungeon, but there was no good place for it, so it might have been scrapped because it would break the "lead up to a dungeon" trend for legion zones.

Those unique realm first titles for worlk would have been sick though... Right?

Very happy I recieved Conqueror of Naxxramas.

Gilligums island was referenced to the old tv show *gilligans island. :)

Seeing "mauradon" in the game files tells me even the WoW dev team didn't get Maraudon's name right, like a lot of players

For more stuff check out Hayven games. He has passed away sadly. But he used to make videos about this kind of stuff all the time.

In fairness, the title thing happened in part because at the time there was a huge controversy about certain famous/infamous players allegedly account-sharing to maintain a nearly 24-hour leveling cycle at peak efficiency (i.e. without making common mistakes one would expect someone to make while badly sleep-deprived and rushing through the leveling content to hit cap first).

3:30 "While I have no idea how MOBA would work with WoW gameplay..." Have you ever played a Warfront? It has lanes with NPCs clashing,you know. Pretty similar

I'm kinda disappointed there were no mentions of any of the armor and/or weapons that were modeled but never added (at least for players).

Defense of the Ale House. LOL YOU FREAKIN' PANDAREN!

*meanwhile. Some are still wanting the Azshara battleground. 😁

Mon! Can i have that piano music playlist, please? Thnk u :3

Rommath being a traitor would be weird in other ways too, Alliance goes through the dungeon with Thrall, the live version has the Horde do that as well. But then that version would have had the Horde go with Lor'themar? Having Alliance go with a different Horde character than the Horde is weird on it's own, especially one who had not been part of the story of the expansion up until this point. Or would have had Lor'themar come out of no where, after traveling all the way to Dragonblight, how would he know to go there? Something in the documents he found? But then the proof is finding Rommath enacting these Twilight Hammer plans, not his handwriting matching. It is likely with all this that Rommath's reveal was not going to be in that dungeon, unless they were not going to allow Horde players to do the dungeon where Benedictus is revealed to be a traitor (No way are they going to do that.) then somehow Blizzard would have had to make a way for Alliance players to be involved with what was likely a quest chain that takes them into Silvermoon. It's a whole mess, good call on steering clear of that one Blizzard.

These unused titles are SICK, I wish they were in game!

that dragons voice makes me think of the characters from courage the cowardly dog lol

Imagine getting the "first on the realm title" only to die 5 min later due to sleep deprivation

just now watching this video but a lot of those runas lines at the end sound like when you repeatedly click a unit.

Rip Runas, the only elf I ever liked.

wish there was a while list of items on wowhead or anysite showing all items that exist but arnt ingame

Isn't there a final boss fight where Rommath shows up after the boss is dead and looks to be hostile but unattackable?

Having titles or achievements only one person has would of been cool as hell like your player character could become as well known as NPCs that's dope

Can you please do a video on why they didn't have mail from on character on one server to ather character on a different server if you can or

So glad Lor themar had a voice change. Gideon Emery does a fantastic job.

The three hour tour must have been cut short, because nobody made it to gillijims isle.

HI HIRU

So was there a traitor on horde side?

hirumaredx OWNS a yugioh youtube channel :)

I got "The Magic Seeker" title that I always wear on my Mage. (Realm 1st Malygos kill)

welcome back!

Is this a Classic+ support video?

Negaduck needs some manastones

'pre-established lore'... yeah Blizzard dont give no shits about _that_ anymore. they will hammer a square peg in to a round hole for a cool trailer moment.
