Whenever i hear this music i think of you mom. Coming home from school and you giving me a big hug and playing wow with me after i did my homework. Whatever i would give to bring me back to those days, to bring me back to you. I love you mom and i hope you're in a better place. You're in my heart always and forever.
+Unlimited Blade Works Come relive the glory days on WARMANE private server! its great, I highly recommend it. although I wish people ran Ulduar and Naxx more.
+Unlimited Blade Works the story of Wrath of the Lich-King has been told and finish´d. unwise it would be to remain in an closed chapter of a long story, whilst the same story unfolds yonder and progresses farther in to the unknown. ev´ry long story has albeit its flawed chapters and poor spots.
Matthias Maier......or you can just play the wow expansion you enjoyed the most, with the MMORPG elements that the current game has really lost touch with....oh and its free too
I played this at my best friends funeral because it was his favorite zone, music, raid and expansion. We met farming The Lost Time Proto Drake. You will be missed brother.
1:51-4:09 I rembember back then, playing in this map with my first and now ex boyfriend, we were questing around, having fun and missing each other because we were in different cities and WoW was our only contact. When I first listened this piece I was flying with my griphoon, towards a beautiful and stormy purple sky, and it amazed me, because it was - and it still is nowdays - absolutely gorgeous. It represent the majesty of the Titans and the creation of the world of Azeroth. But for me it also represent the love I was feeling at that moment for this person. Now he is in a solid long term relationship of almost ten years with another person and we barely speak each other. And though I know he is very happy, I can not avoid thinking about him from time to time, sometimes missing him, wondering what would have happened if we were still together. How our lives would have been. I will never know. But I will always have this song to evoke those wonderful moments playing WoW with him. At least I can always return to the Storm Peaks, contemplate the might of the Titans, and remember the time when I loved him more than I have loved anyone in my life. Thank you.
Damn thats deep, I am currently in the same type of a relationship (400 km) apart but we play wow together all the time so lets hope I dont suffer the same fate as yours. Good luck to you and all the best !
Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. It touches me even 3 years after commenting. I can feel your desire and your love in your words. So feel hugged and loved. I hope it eases your pain of suffering.
Muradin Bronzebeard says: Oh, lad... Muradin Bronzebeard says: How I miss those endless days in Lordaeron... Muradin Bronzebeard says: ...sharpenin' yer skill with this dull blade... Muradin Bronzebeard says: ...forgin' ya into a weapon meant to withstand the demands of a great destiny. Muradin Bronzebeard says: Heh... Yeh sure put them skills ta use, didn't yeh, lad? Muradin Bronzebeard says: If only I'da been able ta stop yeh that day, how different things mighta been. Muradin Bronzebeard says: If only I'da never discovered that accursed blade... Muradin Bronzebeard says: Farewell, Arthas... my brother.
1:51-4:09 i miss you, dad. this always reminds me of how much time this crazy guy spent in storm peaks, farming the time lost proto drake on three seperate characters before it was account wide. thank you for all the memories we made and how much closer this game brought us together. i still miss you every day and i think of you listening to this
I remember leveling my hunter in the Peaks. At 79, a couple of Alliance bastards started chasing me and killing me everywhere. Out of desperation, I ran all the way up to Garm, planning to lose them for good, and died again because of a lingering DoT. Just as I was about to ragequit, I rezzed and then I saw it... the timelost, floating right in front of me! It was possibly the most amazing moment in my WoW history. Found it by accident... noone believed me!
Anyone ever try calling the Blizzard support line back when it was phone-based? This song played on an ENDLESS loop. Over an hour of "Please hold for Blizzard tech support, all our representatives are assisting other customers. WOOOOOOOAAOOHHOHHOOOAAAAOH WOOOOOOOOOHOOHOOOOOHOOOAHAHHAAWOHOOAAAAA"
tachikoma747 Haha yeah, now that you bring it up, I remember hearing this music through the shitty, static filter of the phone for damn near an hour as I waited to get a question sorted out. I do recall Blizzard's customer support being awesome once the wait was over, though.
I will never forget the first time I heard this music in 2008. I was level 77 and it was the first time I had ridden a flying mount, and being up in the air showed me how massive the zone was. That combined with the dark, cold feel and the complete lack of players up in the sky, along with the sad music, created the most heavy feeling of loneliness and awe I have experienced in the game to date.
+Nate B. i wish blizz would still make zones like this. Now they just want everything look like its been used up from pretty much everything that made it magnificient or beautifull. WotLK sure was immense in the story that was given by the looks of things. Like ulduar, it started as a normal place but as you progressed deeper and closer to Yogg'Saron, the place started turning more messed up. Storm peaks is by far the most amazing zone, it still gives me that awe ish feeling when i pass it. You perfectly summarized how it felt, good job. It's not that easy to do with most things! (and pandaria doesnt count as it was pretty much all about story and music, like WotLK but not as good)
+Nate B. The first time I really noticed the music (the melodic part at 1:51 that is) was during the Sons of Hodir questline at the part where Thorim meets with King Jokkum at Thunderfall to apologize for the damage he caused Jokkum's people in the past during his grief and rage. The theme started playing at the perfect time during their conversation, it made that moment all the more beautiful and touching, I could really feel the weight of their long and heavy conflict finally being lifted as Jokkum forgave Thorim and returned his weapon Krolmir to him, telling him that he welcomed the opportunity to fight by his side once more. All of that was one of the parts of WoW that made it much more than just a video game to me.
Rias is love, Rias is life Well I wouldn't say they forgot, MoP did a pretty good job with storylines and cool zones. And while WoD wasn't that great, in its defense there was Shadowmoon Valley and Spires of Arak which I enjoyed questing through. They've just been more hit-or-miss lately, but hopefully Legion will offer some cool content.
buldren0101 i mean like, the magical feel. like how storm peaks has this music and the ambience, of a huge zone and the horizon having lightning etc. even though mop was good looking and the music was amazing, it wasnt magical or like that.
And there was a faction you had to farm at a frozen lake with elementals each day, and the battleground frozen in ice...omg such good memories, seems like a millenia ago now..how problemless, joyful thing it was to be a teen those days, compared to be an adult now with all the negative changes it brings :)
Did all the Sons of Hodir dalies in WotLK. Got the tlpd in cata thanks to engineering. Used the wormhole to go to dal and saw him and begged guildies to mail me the parts for the loot a rang. Thanks to moll-e I was able to loot tlpd on the side of a mountain on Christmas 2010.
This music makes me miss my WoW days. Such a fun game. I have say that the best part of this game was not the fun teams, the epic adventures, the unfolding story lines, the strategy involved or even the massive raid battles; it was the music. The music is what kept me coming back and back over 7 years of playing. I still hum some of the tunes so many years later.
The same to me. Often enough I listen to the music without playing the game. The music is outright epic and superior to the music of other games. I even try to play the music on my synth or buy sheet music of WoW.
+Tyler Adam WoD was terrible, no emotion whatsoever, just drums and orcs yelling, mop was okay in some parts but none of them were even close to wotlk-cata
The warcraft universe has accumulated what is likely to be the best collection of music in gaming history. I find it utterly baffling that the movie just was like "nah m8, we'll just use the same same lil jingle for the soundtrack the whole way through". Why. So many things to draw from..
To be honest, you get more change in musical theme over the course of the 2 hours of the movie than you would doing quests for 2 hours. They used a single leitmotif to establish a strong connection to the emotional tone of each scene without confusing the audience (in an already confusing movie). I would have liked them to have 2 themes, the Orc and Human theme, but any more than that and the message the music is trying to send would get muddled.
Can’t believe I used spend many nights just flying around this beautiful zone, listening to the music, and setting up my picnic basket at the top of the tallest peak. This was 13 years ago….
Went to Iceland a few weeks back. Was out in the middle of no where with a group in the dead of night looking up at the sky hoping to see the Northern lights. I took a minute to put my ear buds in and played this track while out there. I cant describe how beautiful it was to see them with this music playing in the background.
I joined during mid cata, but whenever I hear this I feel the massive nostalgia of the hours I spent listening to this music and leveling. I joined really late, but still this game has more nostalgia for me than anything else.
Same here mate Joined in mid cata and have nostalgia all the time even when I hear crossroads music !! God I love this game and gonna start again prob xd
Lemmi Winks It's probably better than a lot of people who just learnt their English from high school and the odd movie where they pay little attention to the subtitles. ;)
It's 2019, and here I am. Coming back to this masterpiece. Even though blizzard has had their fair share of hate here recently, I will say this. This is the type of stuff that touches your soul, the type of stuff that makes you think about your life. You're beautiful life that is worth living.
camped for 2 months before i bagged time-lost. I got Aeonaxx less than 24 hours before i got time-lost, just by luck. (Vyra had just been killed so i knew i had time, decided to go check deepholm, and there was Aeonaxx).
I listened to this while standing on a high peak in the Sierra Nevada mountains, watching clouds rolling over the peaks to the south. It was an amazing few minutes. I really did shed a few tears, too, as others have said it makes them want to cry.
This right here! The pinnacle of World of Warcraft. WotLK was the pinnacle of the WOW empire. We got Northrend which was rich in exploration and lore. I spent countless hours marveling in everything it had to offer. The subtle graphic improvements, the 10 level cap increase, the new pvp battlegrounds, and the music! Oh God the music. Blizzard came with everything they had, heart and soul in their game and said to us "Here, take it. It is all for you". Please go back to the love you have shown us
Because i spent a lot of time in Storm Peaks with my paladin and this music got stuck in my head. The part at 02:47 was my favorite part of the entire song. To me it sounds like some chant in a temple and paladins are holy warriors. I really liked the lore of Warcraft and WOTLK was the best expansion for me. That paladin was my favorite character i had ever played. It was so much fun. Now every time i hear this i remember him, and that makes me sad.
The years of camping... The endless hours of listening to this music waiting for what is rightfully mine... Some day... I will find the Time-Lost Proto Drake... Only on that day will I cancel my World of Warcraft subscription with pride of what greatness I have achieved.
Everyone´s talking about "Classic"... (I played it back then and now, but I never get hooked...) I, for myself, enjoyed WotLK so much more... I miss THIS feeling.
It's strange, on one hand I love hearing all the stunning music from Vanilla, TBC, WotLK and Cata. On the other hand it gives me a very raw pain deep in the chest. Makes me miss those days and those people so much.
whenever i happened to enter storm peaks, the music always catches me off-guard. it's not necessarily that I like his music but when I was farming time lost Proto Drake, I effectively listen to this for almost 5 days straight. in a way I'm happy, because it brings me back to when i was just playing the game not knowing what i was doing.
WOTLK is by far the best expansion to ever come out of WoW. The only level range I do not rush through and sometimes just come back to listen to the music. Wish Blizzard would bring back this quality of story instead of the lame stuff brought in WoD...
+IrishZimz I stopped playing shortly after Cataclysm came out. I loved the game to death, but it was sucking away my time, life, and soul so I had to stop. I'd have to say Wrath was the best expansion I played; the locations were simply amazing. There was feeling in the zones you were in. Even "Boring" Tundra was an interesting zone, despite it being the least of all the zones in my opinion. The only other zone in my opinion that came close to those zones in Wrath, was Eversong Woods.
I've still enjoyed WoW since, but it's never been like it was in TBC and Wrath. This music takes me back. Those vast mountains, the Titan constructions, the sense that this was somewhere mysterious and dangerous... so great!
2:48 - 4:10 is a truly incredible piece of music, when i went to storm peaks, I loved the eerie but epic feel - rivaled only by the Lich King soundtrack in the Wotlk Trailer. Blizzard really put effort into the game.
This music was amazing, it made you feel awe and wonder. Yet it had an intimidating feel to it as well which matched the environment perfectly, we were in an ancient part of Azeroth where Titans forged giant stone beings and massive machinery. The first life. It does leave you in awe and wonder. It's magnificient. I loved WOTLK, hands down the best.
@@KingDav33 Pandaria was the biggest failure of them, there wasn't any connection related to the original or even spin off's story line. They made it coz pandas were actually so cute x'D ....how poor.
This is the soundtrack to my life and my dreams for the future, and the sound of the landscape when something is wrong. A good place to escape, be at peace and enjoy the moment. Thank you very much for sharing :)
Some nights when things weren't going well, I just logged in and flew across Azeroth on my dragon, watching the landscape and listening to the music. This game is a masterpiece.
As a Bm hunter, i spend a lot of time here, looking for that epic spirit beast - Skoll. After lots of looking around I found him :D I still remember this beautiful sountrack playing while I was taming him
Only time I found him...I wasn't there for him. I was buying the parts for the Motorcycle. I saw him come up on my NPC search addon. I was like holy shit! Ran to him, was the first one there, went to go Tame...and I forgot my current pet was out and it fucking one shot him. I am still pissed.
Same thing happened to me on my second hunter with loque after 2 days of camping, my king Krush decided to pop out and kill it mid tame, I was livid XD
HacksignKT I missed it by 5 seconds once..serious. The annoying thing was I had just stopped to reply to a guildmates question. Fly around the next corner. NPC Finder goes BLING!!! TIme Lost Proto Drake comes into sight. Prepare to land on roof of building in front of its flight path to death grip it with my DK, but as i do so it suddenly veers away to the right where some FUCKEN ALLIANCE PALLY had taunted it. I think i'm over it now though.....*wrings hands*
Yeah,this music makes me think about the days I farmed him :) After 4 months,I got it... This music 4.21 is ABSOLUTELY great,it played when my own TLPD spawned :)
The Choir voices in this are so amazing. The atmosphere of the music fits for both finding something incredibly holy in discovery (in game was Ulduar), but also a very cold atmosphere
Still remember this music really well after camping for TLPD for 1 month and getting it, but I really did nothing else for that whole month. No dungeons, no raids, nothing! Just login, fly around, camp in a secure location, fly again, and repeat.
whats even worse, is listening to to the music bringing back all the nostalgia and wanting to go back, but cant because i remember how much it has changed for the worse and know ill just be let down again.
Listening to this majestic song, sitting on my porch while the rain pours down, watching lightning streak across the sky, is... an experience. What a wonderful sight.
I can honestly say WoW was the best gaming experience of my life. I quit right before Cataclysm (glad I did) Still… I miss it sometimes…so we have the music to remind us of all the fun adventures we had. Today I will usually throw this music on in the background while playing League of Legends.
Same here. Nothing was ever the same after WotLK. Removal of RPG features, removal of group quest, no need for world exploration, only LFG and LFR, zero socializing...Vanilla-WotLK was nearly spiritual experince. It's hard to explain if you haven't been there, but so many of us have. Wish I could go back there for at least a day. It's the best gaming experience I've ever had in my life.
I was there for that part and I can tell you the game is better now, though the music and theme of WotLK will always be divine for me, everything has just gone up up and away with every expansion.
This music brings tears to my eyes when I think of the good memories I had as a teen with my brothers, cousins and WOW friends. Wow will never go back to these good times. :/
The overall game just flowed alot better back then in terms of story, structure, gameplay, pacing and content. But today the game rewards people for not having to leave thier capital cities, it just gives them everything on thier doorstep with no real direction to go. It started going downhill towards the end of wotlk and whoever was in charge at Blizz was just making real bad decisions in terms of game design, which eventually got worse as new expansions came. Today the game is like it is because of these poor decisions.
***** I was wrting in regards to all the other comments stating the fact that game was overall better back in vanilla and through to wotlk, to which I agree. In regards to the music, every WoW expansion has had great music, but overall the general consensus nowadays is the fact that the music triumphs the game. But back in vanilla, Bc and Wotlk the music and overall game were on par with each other, both fantastic.
MikeMirs The game is better now than it ever has been. Take off the nostalgia glasses. Sure, I miss Ulduar/Icecrown as much as the next guy, but MoP is an amazing expansion.
Cant belive i'am making a comment today. 2020. When i went into Storm peaks the first time and heard this song i almost cried. I'am really really tought on music creaters and i am really really picky. But this was my ratatouille. Not even the best of disney could have composed this better. It is an honor to hear this tune. I salute you.
