How it REALLY Looks - The Culling of Stratholme 

Anyone ever wish for a Lordaeron untouched by plague in WoW? Cause I sure as hell did

R.I.P Hayven, your videos were, are, and will always be awesome... i'm going to miss you... Goodbye friend.

Only recently discovered this youtuber. Watching his great work makes me so sad.

The ending there was amazing!

That ending tho.. U need to do that again. Great video

This guy alone made more for my nostalgy to WoW then all of other YT guys together... I miss him so much.

Ending was awesome, gave me chills!

Then i must consider this an act of arthas...

This is video is maybe my favourite. One of my favourite dungeons for sure. Hayven put it in a best way here, so beautiful to look at, and the music choice is truly brilliant.

Came back to the channel to refer someone I'm chatting with to some Naxx scenes I've spotted in videos... I'm not even sure yet if this is what I want, but it's really hard to come here and not cry, at least a little bit. I didn't know who you were till Bellular made a video mourning, and I'm ripping my own fucking heart out thinking about it. I can only hope one thing though, I can only even conceive of one thing I could consider "good" in this situation; I hope with all my heart and soul you never once thought you were letting your RU-vid fans down by being sick.... by dying. Your followers were/are a dedicated lot, and there is no doubt in my mind each and every last one of the dozens of thousands of people who are subscribed, even now, knowing there will never be a new video, feel the world has lost something precious. Something we would so very much give up so many other things to try and bring back. But none of that was your fault sir. None of it IS your fault. You let nobody down, you are to blame for ZERO negativity. I'm not "religious" but you, our dear departed Hayven Games, are the only thing that has ever made me wish Heaven and Hell were real, because I wanted someone to go to the GOOD one. A short life, littered with dedication and real intellectual interest, where just so much wonder could be inspired in people.... If you haven't earned a seat by the Golden Throne, then fuckin NOBODY has.

loved the video keep up the amazing work

another awsome video. i agree with the others... that ending. sent chills down my spine :D

This is my favourite dungeon from wotlk, despite of people complaining about how long it took to be completes. And the appearance of it was changed a little later on, because I remember it from wotlk. Still it looks amazingly well and dropped a beautiful looking shield.

Glad you could bake it, Uther.

I really hope someone will take over and continue this series. It was cool seeing stuff like this from World of Warcraft. Even other mmo's could be interesting as well, to get behind the scenes of smoke and mirrors.

Great vid! Love what you did at the end of it.

Arthas: Glad you could bake it, Uther. Uther: Watch your tone with me, boy. You may be the waiter, but I'm still your superior as a chef. Arthas: As if I could forget. Listen, Uther, there's something about the cake you should know. Arthas: Oh no. It's too late. These muffins have all been overgrazed. They may look fine now, but it's a matter of time before they turn into paperweights. Uther: What? Arthas: This entire buffet must be purged. Uther: How can you even consider that? There's got to be some other way. Arthas: Damn it, Uther. As your future sous-chef I order you to purge this buffet. Uther: You are not my sous-chef yet, boy. Nor would I obey that command if you were! Arthas: Then I must consider this an act of work misconduct. Uther: Misconduct? Have you lost your mind, Arthas? Arthas: Have I? Lord Uther, by my right of succession and sovereignty of my spatula, I hereby relieve you from your command and suspend your chefs from service. Jaina: Arthas, you can't just... Arthas: It's done! Those of you who have the will to save this restaurant, follow me. The rest of you... get out of my sight. Uther: You've just crossed a terrible union, Arthas Arthas: Jaina? Jaina: I'm sorry, Arthas. I can't watch you cook this.

"And here, under the Quel'Thalas (Ghostlands) portal, you will find a pixie stick."

This is a zone I've been quite curious about, since I'm working on a map of Azeroth set 20 years in the past, in the same timeline as WoD.

Been waiting for this one! the fog in this dungeon and old hillsbrad has always made me wonder. great vid :)

Looking at that jumble-up world gives me more eldritch feelings than any ammount of flesh growing on walls.

Thanks for taking in my request, great video!

You know I was just thinking whilst being in this dungeon: "I wonder if hayven games has done a video on this dungeon?" Published three days before, it's like you knew :P

Thanks Hayven, another amazing video. Keep it up mate!

Nice editing at the end :)

holy shit :O ....that made my day, thanks dude, fuckin amaz balls editing/music/ambience!

i always wished blizzard re did all eastern plague land in CoT to see how it was before the plague, not just plague wood village and stratholme, they did it for old hillsbrad you could see the whole zone in the past !

The voice of Arthas at the end was a nice touch. Amazing video, as usual.

loved that final fade out

that was epic! R.I.P.

Great video, as always :D love the voice of arthas at the end :)

love these. totally awesome videos :D

Dat ending though. 2 spook Seriously, that ending was really nice and cinematic. Great work on the whole!

I like the videos where you have voice rather than text most

Loved the music especially.

Rip hayven. U were the fucking man. Best wow content

Was wondering if you could make a video on the old Hillsbrad Foothills and what exactly is behind those giant walls and past the weird fog? I've tried myself but the invisible walls are too much for my warrior :P

Nice work! It would be cool if you could compare the live version of Stratholm vs CoT version.

That the effects of the plague and such can be seen, even before they have supposed to have happened is strangely depressing..

Love the how it really looks vids :)

Maybe the early signs of the plague spreading? Cool video as always.

I like this video! The music is also very appropriately sad. As for the dungeon, I'm unpleasantly surprised and disappointed. I didn't know that there are so many unrestored parts. And the Plague apparently turns oaks into fir trees. I don't understand why they used Elwynn Forest trees. The trees from the Hinterlands or Hillsbrad would look much more appropriate there.

How about a How it REALLY looks of Hellfire Citadel? I would love to see that video. Cheers for making amazing content. Love all the vids.

Love the video

Loved the ending! You are not my king yet, boy!

with the new draw distance in legion, you can see the plagued area.

Awesome ending! 10/10 would purge again

i miss you hayven.

for BFA the plague lands should be cured and rebuilt since the horde and the alliance takes over the rest of their own continents

Great video as always - but just wondering if blizzard took them out or not - when you were exploring outside the intended areas did you find a small town filled with around 10 level 85 elite NPCs (hostile) named "/NPCPatrollerTest/" or anything similar to that? I remember when I was exploring out of the boundaries on that map a few years back I came across exactly that, but maybe they took them out recently since I didn't see them here. It's weird because they all look like stratholme citizens and just stand there (unless you aggro them) and judging from their name they may serve some kind of purpose for the instance's wave of enemy mechanic, but I'm not sure haha.

Awesome ending.

very nice

Can you do one of these kind of videos on Throne of the Four Winds? that would be quite cool

nice ending!

Is it possible you could do a HIRL on Draenor's larger moon? Since it's a 3D model, I'm really curious just how far out it is from the surface.

\Damn it, Umami. As your future chef, I order you to broil this city!You are not my chef yet, boyardee. Nor would I obey that command if you were!Then I must consider this an act of seasoning. Seasoning? Have you sauced your mince, Arthas?!Have I? Lord Umami, by my right of succession and the sovereignty of my crown of roast pork, I hereby rehydrate you from your commandard and suspenderoni your pepperoni from service.

Arthas, you monster. :o

Hi! How are you? Amazing vid

if you can,you should explore suramar.

Could you put voice over these videos? :) Much appriciated

I really want to see one of these videos for Naxxramas (sorry I don't know how to spell shit lol).

You used the Warcraft 3 Arthas' lines. Nice. Were you introduced to the Warcraft franchise with Warcraft 3? By the way, is Gun'drak with the snake tail in your to-do-list?

watching this in 2021 i am ever curious about old lordaeron....wish we could visit there in game and see terenas menethil,, rip terenas

Was just thinking what if we get a caverns of time dungeon base on the war with Death Knight Arthas and Quel'Thalas in the future. Were we are fighting with Lady Sylvanas to push back the army of undead! Protecting the Sunwell. Trying to stop the Infinite Dragon flight from helping the High Elf's win that War and preventing having Arthas fail to raise Kel'thuzad.

What happened to the voiced videos? I know they take longer to make, but I liked them.

TIL the plague changes all trees into pine trees

+Hayven Games So how is the Legion island looking now?

Can you start to do Battle Grounds? I feel like those can be pretty cool. Maybe I'm wrong and there's a reason you don't do them?

That camera is addon ?

i am missing your glorious voice :(

i don't care about draenor nor broken isles, pandaria or cataclysm give us old world!

How do you do this?

Those ruined objects outside...it looks like renewed area without any race's intervention...and I hope you are holding up well

Thanks for not cleaning ur shit up blizzard

How could you even consider Arthas?!

Please bring back your voice in the videos!

Glad you could bake it, Uther.
