Takes me back to a better to time in my life. My children when they were younger would sit on my lap, watch me play Wow and listen to the music of each zone.
I just stumbled upon your Vanilla WoW Music & Ambience! I love it so much! I haven’t played it a long time & miss it terribly. The music is calming & brings back wonderful memories of discovering new lands & making new faraway friends. It was a much needed escape after my dad died. Thank you for making these gifts for us to relive something we may never experience again.
@@RTMaster1 Yeah I remember being in the Elwynn forest near the river. On the other side, there were wolves with skulls instead of their mob level, I was super scared.
One of the best zones in original WoW. I love that the Devs were going to have it be so dark you'd be required to carry a lantern to see anything. That would have been truly epic.
whaaaaaaat? that would've been fucking awesome, they should've done that. imagine how many countless memories of horror players would be talking about today from that decision? imagine new players going through that zone, and actually logging out because it was too much for them
I remember exploring this area and accidentally discovering Lethon hidden inside the dormant volcano. Seeing that dragon for the first time was quite intimidating.
I played on a private server once where players were able to fight the dragon. I watched while a party of lvl 70s attacked it. I left during the fight. It was taking much too long.
One of my favorite questing zones to this day. The complete darkness, undead roaming the forests, werewolves lurking in orchards, ominous music, wierd characters and hermits and to top it off.... elite monsters. Mor Ladim suddenly rushing you , Stitches walking acrods the road.... you were truly never safe, not even inside Darkshire
Duskwood was truely awesome with that perma darkness. I've read back then that Blizzard wanted to implement to carry torches in the zone so we can see around but the engine couldnt handle it. We still see today the npc guards carrying them tough. :)
Nothing will beat swimming across that river as a level 8 or 9 and seeing the white wolves and pale spiders moving through the trees. The strange feeling of danger around every corner despite being so close to where you started once you're finally questing through there. I remember wandering into the glade where the dragon portals were and seeing a giant spectral boss and having that sense of wonder, unbelieving that anyone would ever be strong enough to fight it.
One of my favorite zones. Great quest chains Sven's journal, bride of the embalmer, variety of enemies to fight, and that creepy atmosphere. Caves, overrun farms, undead, a ghost town (with a vendor for some odd reason), and some mystical valley with skull level monsters...this one made you feel how darkness was overrunning the realm of man and their efforts to hold out were futile. Redridge had the orcs, but this was a whole other ballgame. Waling the paths of Duskood you could feel eyes on you. Thanks for the memories.
One of my favorite zones in the game. This game will always be king nothing will ever challenge it. No game has ever brought me to the verge of needing a family intervention to pry me away from it like this one did lol.
Every time I leveled up a character and "we" wanted to reach Duskwood I performed a little roleplay for myself including dressing up properly for the journey, holding a little lantern and having the most radiant of my pets (combat and non-combat) on my side. Also, dying by a lonely feral worgen was a mandatory part of my gaming experience. † (As I hold lantern instead of weapons.)
Duskwood is probably my all time favorite wow solo quest zone. It felt like the alliance had a very weak presence in the area, and I was always under threat from horde players along with the horror themed mobs, loved this zone.
I really want a long shot video just walking down the road in Duskwood, in first-person. Looking off occasionally into the woods, but not straying from the path. After all, if you're safe anywhere, it's there among the lamplight... right?
I've played mainly Horde, but my first ever character was an Alliance Paladin and I fell in love with this zone. Still one of my favorite zones of all time.
As someone who started out with an undead Horde character and later on switched to the Alliance, questing in Duskwood always felt like home to me, as this takes me right back to my beloved Tirisfal Glades.
To me, Westfall was as grim as any Alliance territory could get. So much so that the first time I made it to Duskwood, I thought I was in horde territory
Easily one of my favorite areas in the game. It always had such a nice creepy vibe to it. The soundtrack 100% did it for me too. I remember crossing over from Elwyn Forest river, to the banks of Duskwood, seeing webs hanging from the trees, eerie music kick in, and a spider, and wolf with skulls for levels eating my a$$! The memories will remain forever of the greatest experiences WoW gave me in the gaming world. Thank you original Devs, for such a vast experience! Thank you Meisio for uploading these amazing videos.
my main will be horde but im going to create a human pala just to go through the elwynn->westfall->redrige and duskwood as these are just too epic to be missed
You mean Stitches, right? :) I do agree that back in Vanilla Stitches added a bit of _flavor_ to the zone. Noobs walking on the road to STV suddenly got a little surprise :) Kind regards, Meisio
I remember when Stitches would randomly attack Darkshire, that was the first time I ever saw an abomination. I was genuinely surprised and shocked seeing this big undead monster with its guts hanging out.
@evov monbly "dang i never knew this! when was it taken out of the main world and instanced?" Probably in Cataclysm when Blizz decided to turn WOW into booooring solo baby mode.
I will NEVER forget my first WoW character. Lost. Alone. Unsure where to go from Goldshire, I asked in general chat for some assistance. A gallant level 30+ character sends me an invite and bravely leads me through the Elywynn Forest and across the river into Duskwood. I worry when I start seeing the level “skull” spiders. He encourages me to stay with him. I get surrounded and massacred by every wolf and spider north of Darkshire. He drops party. That character is still a corpse to this day.
Awesome video makes questing in retail duskwood much more enjoyable the music they added in the cataclysm revamp totally killed the creepy style of the zone
Hi Jake! What can I say more than you are right... Thanks for the feedback and welcome to the channel. Please make sure to check out other Vanilla videos. I have at least one for each zone. And more to come! Regards, Meisio
don't remember music change during cata. maybe it was later? but then again i only visited duskwood 2 or 3 times for leveling my cata chars, and quest achievement for my dead knight. focus was more on chopper rep farming and archeology.
I remember when I had my own guild named "The Steel Legion" and it was me (lvl 49 Blood Elf Hunter) with 20-25 other guildmembers (lvls ranged from 13 - 36). We took the zeplin from Orgrimmar to STV and marched up to duskwood, killing all animals and Alliance on the way. We marched toward the Alliance town/village and attacked it, we retreated a short distance away from the village. After a while a lvl 70 Dranei Shaman came with blue gear and came at us with such confidence that he would kill us off. I told everyone to attack him and the once he attacked got healed constantly by our healers and I drained all of his mana with my (mana draining) sting and killed his totems. He started losing alot of HP and also mana, he started to retreat but by then it was too late. We killed him, we were suprised and very proud! We marched westwards and came across a rogue (lvl 60-70) and killed her off and also a paladin (lvl 60-70), then we marched to Westfall and attacked their village, alot of alliance showed up (most high lvl skulls) and a huge battle took place horde and alliance were running around and killing each other. Eventually they got the upper hand, we had to retreat to Elwyn Forrest to one of the fishing cottages there. One of my guild members opend the casket in the cottage and found a lvl 18 or 19 epic dagger (twink weapon). It was a very good day and hopefully I will remember this day until the day I die. I have many other pvp raid memories with my guilds, my guilds were not for PVE acquiring the best gear, it was a pvp guild that was focusing on attacking alliance towns and having lots of fun! We sure did have alot of fun. I wanted to share my wow experience because I know there will be people appreciating it as I do when I read old TBC Vanilla players sharing their experiences of the game. I really want to play Classic (played Vanilla the first time when I was 13-14 years old) and now im almost 28, have two kids, a wife and im studying to become a teacher in philosophy and I just dont have the time to spend on playing this game anymore.
The memories of duskwood back in the day, it was like watching a horror film, always hoping you never strayed off the path! Brilliant memories flooding back after watching this. I'm so tempted to get back into this game.
Every few Octobers or so, I reload WoW Classic just so I can hang out in this zone as Halloween comes and goes. Sort of the perfect synergy between real life fun and game fun. Love it.
I came in at the tail end of Wotlk... but Duskwood was always one of my favorite zones. But getting to read these other comments and see how terrifying it actually was is awesome! I wish I could've experienced that!
In WoW Classic, my Dad allowed me to play an hour/day as a 7-year-old. I was so terrified about Duskwood, Jesus Christ. :D But!!! I still kinda loved it, even when I create my own account back then. :)
These videos are fantastic. I recently reread the Hobbit and LOTR trilogy with your videos playing in the background. This one felt particularly appropriate during the chapters about Mirkwood.
Oh gosh, the first time I entered Duskwood I was scared to death! Raven Hill was pretty scary, though I later discovered the gnome salesman upstairs in one of the houses and made lots of gold reselling his recipes on the auction house.
With how they wanted to make it pitch black and require a lantern... imagine walking the road and up comes Stiches into the light. I'd probably die.. happily! My top 3 zones I think.
I just subscribed and liked the video. I play these as background music almost every day and I love full screening just so I can reminiscence. I hope I'll have the chance to play Vanilla in August!
These and your Gameplay/No Commentary videos are my go-to, THANK YOU for keeping the uploads coming. I used to frequent another channel that was similar, but i'm hitting yours for a few hours a day at this point! Thanks again for the good ole WOW vibes on tap! Cheers!
Always found it really cool how despite being right on the border of Elwynn and Westfall; just being able to swim across easily, you had to backtrack and quest Redridge before being strong enough to go to Duskwood. And you turn back from Redridge because the neighboring area is a black lava area with level 50s. " I guess Duskwood is a more viable direction".
Listening to this at a lower volume while listening to the audio book of the Two Towers is great. It fits so perfectly for the part where Frodo and Sam are creeping around near Minas Morgul. I listen to the other videos while reading when going to sleep as well. Keep up the good work!
The very first time i entered Duskwoods was by accident while i was leveling in West Fall. I was curious so I swam across the river. And then the entire atmosphere changed and I saw skull level monsters chasing me from super far away. So I quickly jump into the river and swam back.
thank you, Meisio! i know you read this! i love your vid much! your vid help me alot with my work-project! iam inspired by wow music, love you for ur work! best regard 🤗
Was always fun when Stitches got kited into Duskwood and wondering how long he'd run amuck before being mobbed. Same with Teremus, that big red dragon from Blasted Lands before they tethered him. You could haul him to Stormwind if careful and it was a major problem because he healed with every kill.
I've made today the Naxxramas movie, just in time for the Halloween. Also, please check this playlist: WoW Halloween Music & Ambience Playlist: tiny.cc/wqj0xy Salutations! :)
I feel nostalgia Cus when i start playing wow in 2007 year +-, i was lvling in Elwinn Forest and for some reason, i want to go in this zone. So my 7+- lvl paladine dies insta. Cus i don`t understad that day mechanics of this game and thats makes me feel smth.
Wich is the better Halloween zone? Duskwood, Tirisfal Glades, or Eastern Plaguelands? and/or tell me your favorite. Will Meisio do a poll again, like last year?
First time I visited this place Taerar was up and it was my first time seeing a hostile "Level ?? (Boss)" mob (saw friendly city leaders prior), so obviously the first thing level 20-something me does is run up and attack it to see what happens. Also Stitches ganked me once.
