That passion showed off, you guys created the best game to ever exist. The nostalgia and life changing feeling this game has for people is just unmatched.
@@AbraGaming you're trying to argue singleplayer vs multiplayer. there's a world of difference with that social interaction and neither of you are going to agree with eachother because they're such vastly different experiences.
@@khanzy. He just said "best game to ever exist" not best multiplayer game. And even if he did you could still argue it's not the best multiplayer game ever. Best MMORPG maybe but not best multiplayer overall.
@@AbraGaming yeah I'm just saying it's kinda pointless to argue with him. people are into different genres. only makes sense to compare stuff within genres.
Early 2000s and vanilla were peak of my life. Nothing came even close to bringing that feeling back once they released classic, sadly. You just cannot replace that magic...
You can never cross the same river twice. It was different back then because it was new. You didn't know what was around the corner. Most people had never played an MMO before. The world seemed infinite.
@@SSDDssed Depends on the style. Street Fighter 2 and 1 v 1 arcade standing next to someone was an amazing time and boon that we will never see again but finally brought a challenge into the arcades and eventually the Super Nintendo/Genesis never seen before. Then you had the Nintendo 64 that ushered in 4 player couch coop games that were fun and full of trash talk with your pals and then what gaming is today with online.
These guys changed my life. Was some of the best times i had with my friends both online and that i grew up with. Ty some much for what you created for us. P.S can you all come back and help blizzard find there way back with classic plus?Mabe finish what you started please.
November 2004, Halo 2, Half Life 2, WoW, Nintendo DS and many more gems. The end of the 6th generation of gaming 1998-2004. Also to me the last great era of gaming, creativity and fun on everything/consoles/pc/handhelds. And then 360 dropped and the birth of Microtransactions started into the modern day. Games are not made anymore with love and care. They are made to see how much more they can charge the gamer after the full fee is paid.
God I remember me and my best friend when this game came out we had cherry cokes by the two liters Pizza's ordered hot wings just some bro's getting together and gaming. Wish I could go back and do it all again.
Sounds like the best night ever! Wish everyday and night can be just like that. It was a good time to just play wow with no worries about responsibilities like mortgage and other bills. Such an amazing fun time back then to just think and play wow till you can no longer keep your eyes open.
I have never ever experienced a game in that large scale that truly touched me emotionally almost 20 years ago and still does. I still visit Redridge mountains and it just feels right. It's like watching Pulp Fiction or Junglebook. But WoW could be experienced for hours and hours and the fact that so many people experienced sharing this world with their friends and talking about it creates real magic. I still can quote most of the things a alliance NPC says when you click on him (only in german, since I'm german lol).
This game is so special, what a triumph it must feel as a developer to be part of this history that really defined what the golden standard for mmo is.
So many good memories and late nights while maintaining a full time job. Couldn't do that at my age. Lol. I left the game in 2011. Left many characters and gold etc. Dont regret on minute of it. This game, Return To Castle Wolfenstein, Soldier of Fortune, to Command and Conquer Generals.....all awesome games.
There was a community as well not obsessed with how to do things in the fastest and most efficient way, but just to explore and have fun. People forgot how to have fun. If the game was released today for the first time, with all of the resources out there, everyone would find a guide, do what it says and be done with it.
I wish I could explain to you all what this game meant to me in the 2000’s. That magical feeling of being level 40 something and entering a new instance, I didn’t even know what dropped or what was going on. I’d just come back home after school and completely lose myself in the magic. It was so far ahead in terms of world building, ability design and more than the next best thing. I was coming from ffxi and this just seemed like it was designed by smarter people who planned out item drops that make sense, a good system of levelling beyond just grinding, and most importantly a magical world to explore. Truly thank you.
I normally don't like MMO's and usually prefer offline optional games, but my wife and I play this together now. And it's the only thing I want to play. I'm normally on zelda, but there's so much more to do in WoW and such an amazingly huge world to explore.
I still remember my first time playing. End of Vanilla. Tauren shaman in Mulgore just loving the story and scenery. when they brought back Classic, i went straight to that and fell back in love with the game so much. it holds a special place in my heart as it seems like for a whole generation of WoW players.
Started in WOTLK when I was 14 or so, don’t remember exactly. Played every expansion, quitting briefly during Cata for exams, BFA to buy a home, Shadowlands to buy another home and Dragonflight to have a baby, but always coming back. Wow was and is the greatest game I ever played and a core part of my life, which maybe sounds sad but it just involved so many friends and good times and fun. I’m 29 today with a wife and daughter and adult responsibilities and I love my life but it does mean I have less time for games of course. Any chance I get to unwind though I still jump on wow, especially with classic being around it’s perfect for dad gamers to remember their childhood and have all that nostalgia come rushing back. It’s also still a better formula and more fun than all the shiny new over the top games coming out, and despite every year people saying wow is dying, it never does. When I’m with my work colleagues or friends or family I’m probably career or money or family or fitness oriented etc. and they would never know or suspect my passion for what is considered a nerdy thing, but there will always be a part of me that will treasure the years of my life this game accompanied me for and to still be able to pop in to classic and see those zones and dungeons, listen to that music and have a community that actually talks to each other in game is so special. I don’t know if anyone will read this or care but it just felt good to write and think aloud, because no matter how far my life takes me from a fat insecure 14 year old having the time of his life in a game, no matter how much I may no longer need wow and have everything I could ask for or want, wow will always have that charm and special feeling. As long as there are Alliance to kill, we have to keep going brothers and sisters of the Horde, Lok’Tar Ogar!
I started in wrath and started raiding in cataclysm. I was very young. Im not a english native speaker but im have been very good at english since i was 9 years old. This game is the reason why. Even tho im a "retail baby" i enjoyed vanilla and tbc the most. Raided almost every lockout in classic. I was glad i was able to live that experience since i was 4 years old when wow launched, so i never got to play the original game.
Honestly, the Peter Jackson LOTR trilogy equivalent in terms of lightning in a bottle passion that lit up my childhood. And by that, I also mean it won’t ever be repeated. Just as no blockbuster trilogy or series has come close to mixing artistic integrity with epic blockbuster action proportions. And don’t say Marvel came even remotely close. There’s a reason LOTR received 28 Oscar noms and 17 wins collectively. It wasn’t just getting recognized for special effects, make-up, sound design, it was a formidable foe in just about every category-all the while, also appealing to mass audiences. Never again to be repeated.
Keller explaining exactly why his idea to not have factions would have killed the game before either launched...... All hail Metzan who was a true gamer
All my friends said I’m a nerd because I play wow PVP but in reality they suck in wow so that’s the only line they can hit me with 😂 changed my life playing wow
Probably gonna disappoint a few people but I always played wow for exploration and I dont think i have ever done a raid in wow lmao... At least I cant remember that I have ever done one... Well I played one raid I think in dragonflight that I did solo and I think it was actually from the vanilla game so I was basicly one shotting everything inside... It was over so fast that all i remember from it was a dragon boss in a castle...
Same, I did dungeons but I could never tell what was happening any time I tried to raid. Also I could never make it past heroic level gear before I had to stop playing and deal with real life things again for a while.
I did the same for a long time, Vanilla Azeroth, TBC(when I joined), and Wrath were a great time for exploration! I felt like Cata lost something and that loss generally carried, even though things looks better and had more structured and intentional design..which can make things more boring, especially for exploring. I did do LFR in MoP eventually, but that doesn't count. Might as well be running it with silent bots in many cases. Usually the only person who talk is the one guy going mental that the group wiped.
Same, I loved Vanilla, TBC and Woltk and I played 70% BGs (in a main group) and 30% exploration. I only did Molten Core like once with my old guild and some other smaller dungeons for lore. Always thought raid-only people were the weird normies lol
Now that people have gotten wrath and are heading into to Cata, i think the consensus is that the vanilla game was the best version of the game. Everything is built around a unified idea and the progression is perfectly executed compared to any expansion that came after. @@cloudconnected1476
The game is the best mmo by far in opinion, played almost 20 years. What I'd like to see going forward , if there was ever a possibility would be a 3rd faction . Love the Horde and alliance , but I think a 3rd faction would bring so much to the game . Have you considered this opinion or thought , what's your feel regarding this idea , what do other players think . Was just a thought I've had over the years.
i cant believe this isnt unbiased, its seems all too perfect, sunshine and flowers and shit. but i can't find arguments against it.... best game and work ever made
What a difference from the time when games were made by people with a common goal to today who only care about what the Season Pass and Loot boxes will be like. 😭
This why classic is still good too this day, it was made with passion. Now its just crap since its not made with passion but only how much money can we milk out of this.
