  • I never played in vanilla, but were there nerubians and scarabs everywhere??

  • Love vanila

  • WTF,,,MAGTHERIDON REALM OPENED IT? Omfg, i feel soooo proud to be in the server right now

  • @TheGamingDuos of course, they had Nihilum and many other top guilds. Kungen (former guildmaster of that guild) even got the legendary mount and achievement for it

  • zu dieser zeit sa die ausrüstung noch cool aus jetzt sieht sie overpowert aus .,.

  • today AQ Is solobold forth to Twin >.< then i 2man the rest

  • Ruins of Ahn qiraj is hard

    BUT Temple of Ahn Qiraj was Deadly

  • @Nitewatcha92 Yeah but now at lvl 85 you can solo both...

  • i wish i was around to see this, started playing a month before tbc

  • I sadly did not witness/play vanilla nor the burning crusade... Sadly..

  • ... when the trailers included players...

  • i honestly think they should make vanilla servers with vanilla spells and spec

  • @Onihailftw They really need to do that.

  • back in the days... when Nasus was OP

  • @spicandspamful

    Yes,Vanila was creepy,not as creepy as the atmosphere of Warcraft 1 2 and 3,nor Diablo. But it had its moments. And Ahn Qiraj was the heart of it,along with Naxxramas(In my opinion)

  • Was it me or was vanilla like really creepy and ominous? Just listen to this music

  • wow rly lost its epicness i miss classic when u had to have 40 ppl work together to take down a boss and also server wide events like this where the horde or alliance helped each other to unlock somthing like this and world pvp wow was so much better in vanilla it isnt the same anymore. =(

  • vanilla wow give me flash backs of my childhood :D i cant tell if thats sad or awesome lol

  • I loved AQ event and raid so badly =)

  • AH, the day when the gate sopend and i was like. wtf are SIlthids doing out here in the Barrens? And what are those huge Anubis creatures?;O'

    <3

  • They need to start hosting more server-wide events like this

    The AQ Event was seriously so epic...It would help the current state of wow by a ton

  • @BOXMAN808

    Even if they did do a server wide event like this it wouldn't be quite the same. Back then, you knew EVERYONE on your server, the top guild (their top players), the best PvPers, the trolls, etc. This changed when multiple servers could join in a single battleground, you can now transfer off the server, you don't even need to ask in general/trade to queue for a dungeon anymore...

    WoW, is still a decent game I suppose, but there's no more community to share events with.

  • IMO wow Is still AWESOME and cata is EPIC

  • IMO wow Is still AWESOME and cata is EPIC

  • I can hear some weird barking sound O_o wtf is it?

  • Lol look how shit the horde and alliance troops look hahahah I an so happy I started to play when cata came out

  • @bloodravenist dont be.

  • I played vanilla but since it was so damn hard back then it took me like 100 years to get to lvl 40 hahahaha fail

  • this was by far the best world even in the whole histroy of WoW. The epic questline for the scepter, the gate opening (even with laggy servers). When have u seen so much people gathered together outdoor last time in WoW? Now everyone just sits on their ass in the cities and queue to dungeon/bs with a button. The World part of Warcraft is dead, better call if Cities of Warcraft.

  • @123phobia123 i agree. even in the start of wotlk people still went around in the world. blizz fucked up because nowu can level 10-85 without moving

  • @blackheartsk8 Honestly, i would love to have more then 1 lvl 85 char... But i do not whanna grinde for ages to get another char up when i clearly done it once... Thats why we got looms to help out...

    But yes i loved moving around azeroth learning everything... ON my first char.. And i still do, with every new content i take it slow and do it all

  • @ekoglen I try to do that to. but it seems pointless when u can just grind

  • @123phobia123 well on my realm there is a lot more people who gather before PvE raid doors =)

  • It seems that most of WoW's original designers for content/quests/raids/dungeons etc have been put to work on Titon, and not on WoW. The Firelands raid is probably the most boring zone ever. A wide open area with no real shape or form, then some bosses dumped in amongst the sea of trash mobs. I really think WoW is attempting to lose players. Once the player base drops far enough, more realms can be combined (cutting down on their costs). The new content has no flow to the lore at all now.

  • @SuburbanMenace

    Agreed, it feels like Blizzard aren't even trying anymore.

  • Aq best instance ever,vanilla wow best wowo ever....Blizzard you stole everything from us...R.IP.

  • @TheInsaneOne92 I agree.. Vanilla WoW was the best. But they had to do something. There was just so much one could fill into the world. I don't think TBC was a bad Idea, i fact, I love the story of Illidan, the only reason I hate it, is that they gave Paladin class to horde & shaman to Alliance. It ruined everything that was unique and cool with choosing a side (Horde or Alliance). Wotlk made the game fun again, but only just so... I quit 6 months into it, because I knew what was coming next.

  • this dungeon.. was so hard..

  • Wasnt it the realm Medivh that first unlocked the AQ zone said in the trailer, rather than Magtheridon?

  • @konack1 it was Medivh US indeed

  • @konack1 I think it was like Medivh US and Magtheridon EU. Something like that

  • Back then this trailer made me like: "This has to be AWESOME and I REALLY need to play WoW." And I thought it has to be intense and fun etc. Well guess what!! a lot of people who played vanilla said that even the huge Anubis monsters were f**ng hard. They are like stealing all your health and mana, knocks you MILES AWAY. Ridicoulus lag. It was more about frustration and endless killing for many people., no role-playing, tactic or anything like it.

  • @eboromir You will also find that some fools claim they played Vanilla, are liers and only got the game around 2weeks befor BC came out, the Anubis trash mobs were what i loved about the game so much, the fact that you had to work as a team and work hard to kill even some of the trash, they were not f**king hard at all, all you had to do was know the basic behind how they worked, and have a good number of players with you, be it your guild or a hardfull of your friends that were out for the fun.

  • Classic is best..! shitty cataclysm or wotlk..! only classic iss best!

  • wow-one, google it. Just started playing about a couple weeks ago. As a fellow player of vanilla, I'd say it's about 85% the same : )

  • Does anyone else remember stripping their toon and dancing in front of the twin emperors?

  • i wish i couldve been there opening day... =(

  • On my first toon, a nelf hunter, i rember this was my first raid At level 60, ye durin BC too

  • 1:29 loool his being raped by magic xD

  • lol the difference between these trailers and de wotlk/cata trailers (for patches) are huge

  • If i will ever make a game .....i sweat to god i will not make it easy for all idiots ....even if that will bring the game is downfall . Now wow is for 2 year old babys

  • Soon to be rehashed in Cataclysm, be sure of it.

  • Wheeeeee Magtheridon :D

  • exactly how 'easy' have blizzard made WoW?

  • @sol200997 Really fucking easy lol :P back in the day just doing stratholme was an event . I aint complaning bout the game today but , really Wow was way harder and challenging .

  • ohuitelniy trailer

  • HRLLO EKOSF

  • penis

  • As much as I'd like to see massive new world events relating directly to new content, I do not EVER AGAIN want to see the farming & general tedium it took to prepare for raids like it did back then. I want to get in there, fight a hard boss, and eventually finagle a victory out of him, not spend the whole time trying to get all of my items ready and people to listen.

  • @JagaimoLoco Then you're a scrub. Maybe you should play something like "The Sims" instead of a MMORPG?

  • @Zooeliten Oh, so you think the grind was fun. That's unfortunate.

  • this was my raid

  • @Gr8axeK0 my friend's raid too!

  • @spoiledspider :DDD

  • damn that is awesome . what happen to big world events like this , considering this 7 years old and now with newer computer we should be getting events like this once a month

  • i want this music back in the game!! <3

  • VANILLA JIZZ

  • Who else agrees with me when I say that AQ was, and still is (possibly) some of the best music in the game.

  • @Mazzah96 i would say ulduar has the best music in WoW

  • @Mazzah96 Yeah, it was real nice.

  • @Mazzah96 I know right! but to me the best music is Zul'Aman

  • @Mazzah96 But them goblins have some pretty nice music..... But still, AQ has great music. NOTHING can top it's awesomeness.

  • @Mazzah96 Undercity has the best

  • Bringing back the memorys. Thinking of make it all come back, have a look at SumiaGaming(--)c0m vote/apply for closed beta. New community Blizzlike and bug free. With well known developement known as Bangbangpow and Hueyz.

  • Patch 1.9 ------- the good old times :)

  • THAT BLOODY FUCKING DROOD :(

    he was 1 min faster with the open Q and took my black bug mount sniffel

  • I remember this...Was so intense, i had to server transfer to a realm with a lower population because of lag issues..o.0

  • Damn,i was there when it opened up on my server...all hell broke loose once it opened.

  • MAKE WOW F2P!

  • @lowe2009 LMAO fuck no then all the runescape faggots will ruin it

  • do you see that....that on the screen....THAT is a world event.....in fact that is THE world event not the total crap that the elemental invasion was

  • @WhyBeAStranger Yeh the elemental invasion was just annoying. The Scourge Invasion was very nice though. It was something out of the ordinary, where you could actually have a lot of fun with killing everything as a zombie and fighting against your friends :D

  • I dont play wow anymore but the cenarion hold shoulders the tauren druid was wearing at 1:31 are seriously awesome! i had them on my druid.

  • Good old times. <3

  • @AccountsAreOverrated it was good b4 u came complaining -_-

  • the music in this video is friggin epic!

  • epic soundtrack

  • Man, Vanilla was the best...

  • @Fingolfin3423No TBC IS the best. vanilla maby was the best. and WOTLK is just a fucking koke

  • @Fingolfin3423No TBC IS the best. vanilla maby was the best. and WOTLK is just a fucking joke

  • alone half the difficulty of a 40 man raid was getting 40 dedicated people, to listen, have the gear, the dps, know what the shit is going on, not have everyone talk in vent at once. now most of wows population is -15 and they dont know what to do except follow people and roll on gear.

  • where can i find this place Loll..

  • I remember this world event vividly. Particularly me getting stomped by a huge pharoah in Gadgetzan.

    Blizzard needs to do more like these.

  • ive only been playing wow for 6 months and love it, but when i look at vanilla and bc stuff and hear about it from other people and like the comments below me i kick myself for never playing this game early enough and play what looks to be the best content, all just because i thought only no lifers play wow, saddly i was wrong. i envy you people that played on release

  • Hail Hail Old God C'Thun - The one and only true ruler of the world! /kneel

  • @Pseudonimolol no not the last boss lol :P

  • you had to have BALLS to tank this raid I myself solo tanked almost entire TOC 10 and 25 and a big part of ICC 10 like no sweat but to be tank in the old raids meant you had to actually use your brain and I feel really sorry I haven't played during the vanilla wow

  • Is this still available? I never had a chance to do it? I miss old Azeroth (pre-Cata not vanilla I joined after LK)

  • @CurtisAlfeld yes, it is. there all still there. the only raid removed from azeroth was removed in WotLK, and thats old naxx.

  • There was an event where they Opened the gate?

  • @AmittenMan Yes, it was a proper event, unlike Wotlk and Cata "events".

  • @AmittenMan Mhm, everyone on their server had to ban together and collect enough supplies (Which were a lot) in order to open the gate, and the Scepter of the Shifting Sands was needed to unlock it. The best part was it was a race, a server only unlocked AQ for their server, not the entire game, so if you wanted to raid AQ you had to make sure your server was on the ball. I know the first server to unlock the gates happened on my birthday January 23rd, back in 2006.

  • 40 man is stupid, I rem lagging sooooo much

  • cata> vanilla>tbc>WotLk

  • can all you cunts stop QQ'ing? nostaglia wont do anything either play the game or dont no one gives a shit

  • oh god the 8 hour war with my guild good times

  • ahhhhhhhhh its like a nightmare !!! server crash

  • Seriously stfu with all this "I miss vanilla so much, fuck blizzard for making cata." A game needs to evolve, and blizz made the game easier because ALL YOU PEOPLE FUCKING DO IS COMPLAIN. Jesus

  • @Dobsta45 well, if you call going from world events of hundreds of players participating at it and seeing something truly unique with a difficulty they can face only once in the entire game evolution, i don't know what that is..

    if anything wow lost all its course to evolution and instead went the same way all MMORPGs go now, mindless and unsatisfying grinding..

    oh btw, don't get me wrong players bitches back then, they complained a lot! but that's cause they cared and had something to say.

  • @Dobsta45 Compared to players in wow these days, all they see is Badge, Gear, 30 minutes heroics or less, tiny company Ragnaros pets and much more stupid crap like that.. when there is so much stuff to complain about why doesn't anyone complain? simple, they truly do not fucking care in the least..

    for all they care the game can just stop and they will go to call of duty 2 or something, WoW has lost its edge.

    anyway I'm glad to be rid of it, there are more games doing better right now

  • @Dobsta45 True, and if you really think about it its like halo combat evolved, yeah the campaign was amazing but look at how they have progressed and fixed mistakes, without progress there would not even be anybody playing just by pure boredom

  • @Dobsta45 I wouldnt say cataclysm is easy

  • @Dobsta45 It's just because in vanilla you needed skill to raid, hardcore instances for hardcore players and easier instances for casual players. In WoTLK and Cata all they have done is making the game easy for everyone and that upsets some (and me) vanilla players that remembered when gear was hard to get.

    In vanilla if you had epics everyone in Org was like o.O now you /spit on people with full epic.

  • @Dobsta45 A game does need to expand, this part is true but it needs to become HARDER as the game goes on, not easier, Wotlk, every character was babied as if it couldn't Walk without epic gear. In BC it was not so bad. Cataclysm, 5 lvls, every heroic is piss easy with a competent group, what ever happened to massive challenges? They go thrown out the window after wow saw "a large % of our fan base is a bunch of babies, we must cater to them. A game needs to progressively get harder. not easier.

  • @Dobsta45 you mean like what your doing?

  • @Dobsta45 Ever thought also why people complain is mabe it's To easy?

  • @Dobsta45 And then they complain about it being easier lol

  • @Dobsta45 Complaining because they made a great game into a noob generator, yes.

  • @Potatis1337 You can also look at CoD, What a hate generator :p

  • @Potatis1337 what is this noob u all mention? shouldnt people play wow just because some play wow for 10 years and all of can think is epic stuff? i started to play just now and happen to like it. i am noob yes but dont we were all when we first started?

  • @Dobsta45 I second that

  • @Dobsta45 I agree with you, but there is some truth in the complains. Ever since Activision took Blizz, it is becoming more and more of a console game with multiplayer options that isolate you from massive world (they need less servers that way), while reducing the "massive" to minimum.. their point is to create more and more content fast enough to sell it as a game (you buy, get bored fast, buy next one). But its only my opinion, complains took world pvp away from us..

  • @Dobsta45 Because people have been complaining the cataclysm raids are getting easier. People need to fucking realise that this was all their doing. Blizzard should stop making it easier.

  • @Dobsta45 Yes you do complain a lot.

  • @Dobsta45 epic fail

  • @Dobsta45 dude u stfu, a game should indeed evolve but no to become worse retard '-.- and making it easier is ok but not making it too easy so u get everything u ever wanted in an instant and then your left without anything to do...

  • I personally didn't play during Vanilla, but I've spoken with people who did. Sure the world event was fun, but it's kinda stupid for Blizzard to release something again that might crash their servers.

  • I wish there were more events like this :/ it's amazing to see horde and alliance helping each other in the video while fighting thousands of giant cats and bugs.

  • AQ was epic..and so was its music.

  • @88Alura88 I consider AQ to be out of the whole Warcraft plot. Its almost a shame that Blizz went from fighting demons at mount hyjal to an Egypt-inspired world with giant Anubikan things. It would be much better if Blizz kept the gaming design to something more equal to the whole game series, but then again it would be boring with the same things all over again, like demons, dragons, trolls and so on. So AQ was a great change, but not suitable to the game in my opinion.

  • I must say, Blizzard has a fantasy that can't be mathced, but when it comes to Ahn' Qiraj I have some minor criticisms. Giant Anubis - like creatures, beatles and a big eye as a main boss. Couldnt blizzard made it better? From my point of view Ahn' Qiraj was just one big rip of from ancient egypt, wich kinda makes me annoied. I also don't like the music, it ruins the whole game excperience. No offence old vanilla players, but Ahn' Qiraj and the whole desert thing looks boring.

    Peace

  • @GameAssassin95 Well if you're going to go into ripoffs then you shouldn't even be playing WoW. Instead, you should be playing Dungeons and Dragons. Everything from the Warcraft franchise was originally inspired by D&D. Might as well bust out the Arkham Horror board game too, since C'thun is simply Blizzard's version of Cthugha (and no, I didn't misspell Cthulhu), one of the Elder Gods created by Lovecraft. And lets not forget that Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Trolls are Nordic in origin.

  • @KeizerXilian Why shouldn't i be playing WoW if its based on rip offs? The *egyptian style* that Ahn Qiraj has, is out of the Orcs, elves, Dwarves, Gnomes and troll style which is the cool style about WoW. I don't like the Egypt style. It should have been kept to something more equal to the rest of the games. If blizzard was to make a change, I would prefer it to be something more creative than Ancient egypt style, cause i feel that ruins some of the game experience.

  • @GameAssassin95 Because "it's a rip off" is your entire argument. You sit there and say that Blizzard is being uncreative by using the Egyptian themes for AQ without acknowledging that, by your very same argument, the entire game is essentially uncreative. I understand that you don't like the Egyptian flair. Many people don't. But to say that they're "ripping it off" is a very poor argument to make when the entire game borrows from other games and cultures to help fashion their world.

  • @KeizerXilian Woot? *Its a rip off* isn't my entire argument! Frankly, i don't give a fuck if blizzard is uncreative. What i'm trying to say here is: I DON'T LIKE AHN QIRAJ BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE EGYPTIAN CULTURE AND ANCIENT ANUBIS CRAP! Really! :P

  • @iConnor86 i would say ALgalon 25man was the ahrdest in wotlk... tanks had 40k hp and he hit for 25k... 2shot the tank... and its was alot more tactics on algalon then LK... LK was porly designed compare to algalon...

  • I dont care what you say about vanilla, nothing you say changes the fact that it was awesome. wtb world events that were actually world events, like gathering supplies to aid the armies going to war on AQ, or preventing the scourge invasion, raid quests, 40man raids and original Naxxramas.

  • @darkmankill1 Well said!

  • @darkmankill1 i guess its all a matter of perspective, because i started playing wow when wotlk came out and i thought that wasnt too bad.

  • @pHaZe017 but you still have no idea of what the original wow was like.

  • @darkmankill1 Tobad, preventing the scourge invasion was BC to Wrath,

    Naxx 40 was only seen by 1% of all wow players in Pre BC.

    You had to grind Dungeon Set 1/2 before you even saw raids,

    You spent 4 months in MC getting your teir 1, and didnt even complete the set.

    Spent 6 months getting your Teir 2 to see AQ, and when that was done, you got to spend 3 hours wiping on trash from Twin Emps to C'thun, When you got there, wiped for another 8 hours. and logged for the night.

    Vanilla wasnt great.

  • @richiedondon1 But hey, it was better than badges.

  • @richiedondon1 10% of all WoW players. Back then it felt epic downing a boss. Now it's like "meh, NEXT!".

  • @Zooeliten if you're so masochistic maybe you should start carving parts of your body off... and no taking drugs to "nerf" the "challenge"

  • @Zooeliten Cata had that epic feeling... now it doesnt.

  • @darkmankill1 Never will I forget those massive server crashes of yesteryear.

  • @darkmankill1 Your message made me cry!!!!

  • I dont care what you say about vanilla, nothing can change the fact that it was awesome.

  • @iConnor86 I see you didn't fight Kel'Thuzad in calssic... Gimp.

  • @Florinho

    Kel'Thuzad (even Classic) was not hard at all compared to LK 25 HC, you obiously have no clue how people have grown in skill since Vanilla Beta.

    Just compare the mechanics really, you'll notice that even though Kel'Thuzad felt harder back then, it was simply because everyone sucked back then.

  • C'thun prenerf, now that was a hard fight.

  • @nickhoksbergen dude you don't get it

  • @Florinho Such an argument.

  • @nickhoksbergen

    You sound like you've never even LAID A SINGLE FOOT in Naxx 40, yes the Remade Naxx sucked, but Naxx 40, since it REQUIRED 40 NEAR PERFECTLY-GEARED MOTHERFUCKERS WHO ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. It'd beat LK 25 HC anyday. One wrong move in LK 25 HC = Possible, but improbable, chance of wiping. One wrong move in Naxx 40 = ALMOST CERTAIN WIPE, and taking a ton of shit by the server/guild for about a month. Like my server back in Vanilla.

  • @iConnor86 That is called PRG dumbass

  • so i know this event's a one off but what about for new realms. can it be done on new realms still?

  • @Zei33 No, there's a blue post about it on the forums from a while back.

    Also, all of the fanbois hung up on WotLK...possibly the second worst expansion for an MMO I've ever experienced (Cataclysm being the worst)...and I was around for EverQuest's Legacy of Ykesha!

  • @iConnor86 lk fight is pretty ex bro yogg saron fight was the shit

  • To all you people who wonders who the player was, that opened the gates of Ahn´Qiraj for the first time, World Wide during classic. His name, was Kungen, a Tauren Tank, who lead a hardcore raiding guild called Nihilum, In the early start of 2009, when Wrath of the Lich King was released, he moved server with the most of his members of Nihilum, to Tarren Mill, Re-naming their guild, "Ensidia".

    Glad I could help ya on the facts.

  • @TheRStard yea no1 wonders and every1 knows that...moron

  • @baggeghfreak haha, fail kid is fail.

  • @TheRStard hehe anyone who's played wow since the beggining knows that

  • @TheRStard Side note - Kungen is swedish for "The king"

  • The Best Raid In The World Of Warcraft^^

  • @iConnor86 Twin gods of Ahn'Qiraj was a hell hole, thats all I have to say.
