Classic WoW - 5 Years Later | World of Warcraft

On 26/27 August 2019 Classic World of Warcraft released worldwide to huge success. It was a long time in the making, but Blizzard finally committing to this project has proven to create something that is far more than just nostalgia.
Today I go over the full story of Classic and ALL its versions so far up to where we are today, and then go over some thoughts for the future.

Something I kinda miss about the old willie videos is the “willie here” and the gnome poking out in a random place.
Hope the day finds you well!

1 TBC & 1 Wrath server is what we need for the large percentage of players who have no interest in Cataclysm and beyond.

covid lockdown playing classic wow phase 1 - 2 was so fun

The ideal WoW in my opinion would just be Blizzard allowing community-made servers to be hosted as official ones. There are a lot of private servers that have had better ideas that Blizzard in the past years. It would open up the possibility of so many things, kind of like the Skyrim or Soulsborne modding communities.

I've said it many times before and I will say it many more times in the future: The hype before and the release of Classic and the first 3-4 months after it were by far the best and most fun time I have ever had gaming and it will most likely never be beaten.

The fact that even in SoD they try to race through leveling shows they don't understand people who love classic. Part of the magic of classic is each level you hit feels like an accomplishment. Getting to level cap isn't viewed as when "the game starts"

As someone who never leveled horde 1-60 in classic, I’ve been having such a good time leveling on deviate delight on an undead priest. I’ve been taking it slow. I joined about a month into the movement and though it’s greatly slowed down, I’m currently level 35, doing all the zone quests on horde side, a lot of which I’ve never done even though I mained horde in WOTLK - Retail. I’ve been leveling all 5 professions as I go, exploring zones in more detail instead of taking the fastest routes, etc and it’s the most fun I’ve had in vanilla / WOW all together in SO long.

feels unreal it is 5 years already, summer 2019 was best time in my life I think

Loved that bit you talked about at the end. I didn't play Classic "back in the day", but I always wanted to see what it was all about. I never knew where to start, and your Was it Any Good? series is what got me to try Classic when it re-released. Fair to say within a week of playing, I fully got why it has taken off all those years ago. Super glad I found your channel :--)

I started watching (and subscribed) during the "Was it any good" series. It helped me a lot, and provided a great review of how things worked in Vanilla. I watched every video in the series at least 5 times. I also enjoy your voice, presentation of the information, and the general tone of it all. I'd like to see a Vanilla-classic-only server that would progress and fix the class issues: sort of like SoD, but more alt-friendly beyond phase 1, and more "expansions" within the world itself. Originally, Hellfire Peninsula was the planned endgame zone, before they made it a separate expansion. I'd like that, and for them to keep going, broadening the vanilla world, without really leaving it. Thanks for all your videos. I've enjoyed watching, and still do. :)

End of vanilla--> Nostalrius launch: 2965 days

Nostalrius shutdown date --> Today: 3000++ days

I've known you since the early days of Classic and while I don't play WoW at all anymore, I believe there are many like us that will always keep an eye out for any kind of Classic+ announcement. As official hardcore servers have shown, there is just something about the kind of community the original WoW world encourages and is able to retain past the hype of launches.

On a side note, congratulations on your journey! Your conclusion was heartwarming, I wish you success for the years to come ! (also ye should have advertised your LoL channel more maybe <: )

I hope they will give us TBC era server in the future

[jaysinrd]

Been watching you for a long time now and must say your videos are by far the most informative WoW videos I’ve watched. Please keep you the great work

[vicissitudes]

Keep it up, Wille! Glad you were with us through the years on this Classic journey. Looking forward to many more!

[Fishlampclock]

Thank you! You've been a fantastic content creator for wow and I hope you keep going for years to come!

[quinngreen]

You're one of my favorite creators, it's been great watching your channel evolve. Looking forward to whatever you have next!

Would play classic 2019 version again, this game is amazing. Played multiple fresh servers and it was always fun. Just remember to take breaks between fresh servers to not burn out.
