I appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on this video <3. More to come this week so stay tuned! And don't forget, if you want to hangout with me live on stream, there's a link in the description to my Twitch! I'm live on week nights at around 8PM EST.

If your first exposure to WoW was playing it on someone else's computer, the experience of booting it up on your own computer in your own room for the first time was euphoric

You never quit WoW.. you just take longer breaks

[ushi]

People act like it’s all nostalgia but I did t start playing wow till 2010 and didn’t even experience classic until 2019 and it’s hands down the best wow experience I’ve had. The leveling was unrivaled, currently I’ve been messing around on hardcore waiting for fresh or plus.

Those were the days when social media practically didn't exist. People were logging to WoW to simply chat with others. That's why we had more social interaction IC or OOC. People were nicer too, attention spans were longer, social media reactions didn't dictate digital behavior. Streaming wasn't a thing. It wasn't just the people that was different, it was the internet.
Internet changed, and it changed people. it changed mankind.

This hit home so hard for me. My older brother who recently passed would always say the same things. "Slow down, read the quests bro, stop rushing man, " and I never considered it till I lost him how right he was. One thing I am happy tho, because he was the older brother I had to listen to him so with every expansion we always leveled the first max level together. Great video tho, I agree with you 100%

[Zutang]

This why I think for Classic + new content should be added at the beginning of the game not just at the end of the game.

[Justissier]

I'm surprised you didn’t talk about Hardcore. That's the mode where everyone gets to slow down and experience the world, and where every decision and achievement feels impactful.

[Rossiey]

we weren't supposed to get to catacylsm, lets hit rewind and go back to fresh classic

[thorbeorn]

I don't care about missing out in this game anymore. I play the way I want and in the pace I want. TWW is out, I bought the expac but I am leveling a new toon from level 1 and don't care about missing out the first few weeks with the new zones and the new content. I will get there whenever and that's fine. Stressing about it, geeking out and following the meta like it's a job is over for me.

[connynoren]

Great video! I'm in much of the same situation. Played vanilla a ton back in the day, TBC and WOTLK, then it kinda died out. Wasn't ever too focused on end game though. Now I'm back for a second round of classic. Somehow I enjoy things a lot more now. The nostalgia, setting as slow a pace as I like, taking time to help others even on their quests, focus on levelling fishing for a few hours. Play a new class, taking the time to actually read the quest lines once in a while. All things that actually add to the enjoyment of the game.

I'm 40+ and at a stage where I just need to unwind and have fun for an hour or two. WoW gives me that, and for that I'm thankful.

this randomly showed up in my recommended, and wow. Wonderfully paced beautifully made video. Keep it up man.

[ChristopherHarrisM]

[RaiderDave]

I'm dying for an official Classic+ announcement! C'mon Blizz!

[denispeda]

vanilla experience was crafted with soo much love by the devs that no expansion can surpass it, never

[CrixGuides]

That Mincraft music in back teleported me.

[EbonhardtTV]

This man is goated. Amazing video, truly a throwback in terms of feelings.

[BullBarnet]

I started playing when the re-release of WOTLK came out. I always enjoyed watching my uncles play wow, mostly around MOP. Im born 2007 and I enjoy playing classic more than retail. I LOVED the experience of exploring/discovering everything in classic!

i think one of the biggest reasons for fresh hype is directly tied to FOMO. fresh means everyone is on an even playing field, nobody is miles ahead, etc. as well as the fact that the more game knowledge you have, the easier it is for you to get a strong start. FOMO is literally the reason fresh is as popular of a concept as it is

[RichardJanvrinMusic]

Man, similar story to me. My friend had a good computer and I’d play at his house. He stopped playing, but I’ve never been able to shed it. Fresh is an opportunity to feel some of that and awaken that inner child.
