#worldofwarcraft One man's tale of inner strength, financial freedom, and friendship. A true retail WoW fever dream. TWITCH/DISCORD: / thesleepyjuice / discord
WOAH! Honestly, thank you so much for saying that. I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Hoping to have a new video out in the series every week or other week
this series is so freaking amazing. I found it when cuz xaryu reacted to the first episode and I instantly went and binged it all and am now rewatching it while leveling I hope you see this comment you're very talented thank you and keep it up!!!!!
I appreciate the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying the series so far! Honestly super thankful that xar has been watching them. Plenty more to come, my friend!
In all honesty just meeting everyone and you was a blast, and many others on Mooguard it’s practical self therapy :,)! I’m so happy and honor to meet you all
So when I the RU-vid algorithm first blessed me with one of your first 40 second clips I spent a good 2 hours laughing my ass off digesting the content, the next day I after I'd finished work I went to my friends house to annoy him and set him onto your content where we both then spent the next 2 hours laughing our asses off even when I'd already seen your stuff. Gotta say I just love the stupid shit that goes on in the videos and this long format makes for wonderful sensory overload. I haven't played WoW now since early shadowlands but I've never wanted to play more than just seeing this stuff, I'm grateful for the content honestly as I found the stuff RU-vid puts forward algorithmically was getting real stale till you came along and I've not so long since lost my grandad and your silly little 40 second clips have made it easy to laugh in a tough time. Genuinely hope to see you grow and keep doing your thing, I dont often leave comments but I had too on this one
Okay wow thank you SO much for the kind words! I'm so glad you've been liking the little clips! haha. I've been wanting to make a longer video series like this for awhile, just haven't really had the time until here recently. That makes me happy to hear you're considering playing again! PLEASE roll a character on Moon guard! You're more than welcome to join the guild, you and your friend both! We've been doing fun stuff now almost every night and it's been a blast! Again thank you SO much! If you do hop back onto wow lemme know and I'll get you into the guild!
2:04 They're absolutely bustling with activity this time of year! There's food vendors, homeless...there's, there's pirates. *People fuckin'* - I knew I'd fit right in. 😂😂😂 lmao this is so funny great video man
@@herbvendor wikipedia says previous nominee was a "stoner comedy" kinda movie, no wonder you fit here perfectly maybe you are modern age tinto brass but in the online field interview including herbs comedy field?
This video is amazing, man! You certainly have a knack for storytelling! I'm so glad that I caught your channel from the very very very first videos: seeing the growth and you getting pumped enough to release something like this is the coolest thing! I can't say I've many times been able to jump in so early. Even more good luck for your journey onwards: you have the charisma, you have the technical skills an you have the creativity! Keep it up!!
This means a lot, and I really REALLY appreciate you being here since the beginning! I've been really wanting to put out a long form video like this, a little series of all the stuff that's happened since starting on Moon Guard. Going forward It's gonna be WAY easier for me to edit these longer videos, this one was DEFINITELY a learning process! Either way, I really do appreciate you! Cheers to whatever ends up happening with the channel!
@@herbvendor Cheers Indeed!! I'm certain that as long as you're open to learn things you can also adapt to whatever content you wanna make in the future, because you're proving you're more than capable already imho! I'm looking forward whatever good can happen to your channel!
WoW was great for RP because it can be as serious or irreverent as you like. When I played heavily in WOTLK there was an add-on that'd add a chance to spout a phrase or emote on a percent chance you set that was a big hit among my guild, I still remember my ice mage buddy randomly spouting off mister freeze quotes from B&R as he launched spells.
Dude, keep it up, you're the only person that actively makes me want to play WoW even though when I do, I play on Argent Dawn, you and your guild sound like such a funny place to be in. Kinda reminds me when I first did my RPs back in Cataclysm, same energy really. (I don't really try to engage as much nowadays, probably because I don't play much either.)
That makes me really happy to hear that! You should totally roll a character on Moon guard and join the guild! We've been having events pretty often that you're more than welcome to come to!
I play on Argent Dawn, RP servers are the best way to experience wow imo. The world is actually alive with players while still offering all the pvp and pve opportunities people know and love.
That’s seriously really nice of you to say! If you do come back, don’t expect great content or anything. Just roll a character on Moon Guard and join the guild. Feels like vanilla again actually hanging out with people in game and doing dumb stuff or having random adventures with people haha
Haha yeeeeee! I’m glad to be finally making the long form vids. I’ve been wanting to for awhile, I’ve just been psyching myself out about editing and stuff
Hey I know a few people from that guild! Sorry it’s taken me forever to get the next video in this series out. It should be up this week! Had some dumb guild drama MULTIPLE times that was bad enough that I had to re edit and remove multiple people from the video entirely lol
Before WotLK Classic dropped the Golden Twinkies were the biggest Alliance retail Twinking Guild. I unsubbed from WoW during Shadowlands (not because the expansion was so terrible (which it was) but because I had an acting gig which wouldn't give me the free time to play) and when I unsubbed I decided to explore the game from the perspective of a level 20 Free-to-play on an RP server as well as exploring the level 20 PvP bracket. I've made a lot of friends in the Twinking and RP communities since then. I had always played PvE before, subbed since 2006. It's only since exploring the RP side of the game that I actually feel like I'm part of the world of Azeroth. Absolutely wonderful people in the RP community. Also some fantastic people in the Twinking community.
@@GhastlyH I’ve been trying to figure out which twink bracket is the most active at the current moment, I’ve seen quite a few 60’s running around but I think at this point some of the BiS twink gear is unobtainable as far as getting older gear goes. 60 hunters are one shotting in that bracket it’s absolutely wacky haha. I totally get where you’re coming from. I had never even thought about RP before but I’ve made some really cool friends getting into it, and it’s made the game feel like more of a ‘world’, which I think is an element kind of missing now in WoW
The 20s, where I'm stuck as a F2P is absolute chaos and you're likely to queue all night and only get 2 or 3 BGs popping (which for me is fine because I'm just engaged in my own Solo RP while waiting for queues). 10v10 BGs are rare and 5v8 is common. Since the Alliance Twinks have migrated to WotLK Classic the Horde really doesn't have anyone to fight and they're starting to get bored of bracket. If we could get another Alliance guild to fill the vacancy and bring Alliance numbers back up the Horde Twinks would probably return to the game, having someone to fight against. Right now though, it's literally a small handful of Horde Twinks dominating Alliance F2Ps. Most new players roll a human to try the game, get into a BG against Horde 29s and then decide "Nah, the game sucks" and leave. There are a lot of Alliance F2Ps who still engage in the game but even as a geared 20 the gulf between you and a geared 29 is too big and Blizzard has decided to put the F2Ps in the same queues as the XP-off, driving away new players and killing the bracket since there are not enough 29s to carry the bracket. 20s Twink gear is easy to get (WoD being BiS right now) but without a strong Alliance Twink guild to balance things out there are just not enough players to make the bracket work. Blizzard could fix this by either puting F2Ps in their own brackets or making Veteran accounts F2P cap at level 29 (which would get people buying the game even if they don't subscribe). The problem is Blizzard doesn't like people playing the game in ways they don't want it being played and Blizzard doesn't want Twinks so rather than embracing Twinks as a distinct subculture of the game their strategy is to just make the Twinking experience so bad the players will give up on it and just play Endgame like they're supposed to. The one really interesting thing about the shirt-show the 20s bracket has become is it has really changed the personality of the bracket. Sad Sacks, people who get into the BG and start beaking off on their teammates at the first sign of hardship have almost completely disappeared from the bracket. Most of the players in the 20s bracket now have the attitude "Yeah, this bracket sucks. It's a completely chaotic shirt-show but it's our shirt-show and we're going to make the best of it". The more Blizzard tries to kill the Twinking subculture the more cohesive the few remaining Twinks get. The F2Ps who remain can't get meaningfully geared to take on geared 29s so they've had to learn to play smarter from a weaker hand because they physically cannot dominate. The vast majority of the 29s in the bracket would give up their 29 Daddy Twinks and gladly go back to their level 20 Baby Twinks but they can't because it only takes a couple of 29s to completely curb stomp everyone in the BG. It's fine and well for the Twinking guilds to come to an agreement that we all leave the 29s at home but there exists no effective means to police the bracket to enforce this agreement. My education is in anthropology so it has been very interesting for me to study the cultural differences between the Endgame PvE players, which I was one of until just a few years ago, and the RP and Twinking communities. Studying the 20s PvP bracket has been studying a culture in decline and the cataclysmic event that sparked the decline was Blizzard removing F2Ps from the Levellers queue and putting them in the same queues of the XP off Twinks. It will be interesting to see how much further the 20s bracket will be able to limp along and will it evolve into something stronger or simply pass away into extinction.
Good ol’ Illidan. It wasn’t the first server I played on, but it was the one I spent the most time on. It feels like a completely different game switching to Moon Guard!
I sold the Weeds before on Argent Dawn-EU. You can fish them up from the Dalaran fountain, I got so many while trying to get all the coins you can fish from there. I put a video on my channel back then, but it's pretty cringey haha.
oh shit I've gotta watch this! OH are they easier to get in the Dal fountain??? My guild and I have tried to farm them but it was taking a really long time, might have just been where we were at
This brought a real tear to my eye, I'm crying real actual tears right now. Really though, this longer video was great! Seeing the beautiful beginnings of herbs of anarchy and the start of the Weedelf adventures... I genuinely can't wait to see the next part!
I’m SO surprised people actually enjoyed this video! Haha. I’ll have part 2 uploaded this next week! I’ll get the longer vids out a little faster now, this first one took awhile because I was having to learn editing as I went along lol
