  • I remember this! It was so exciting. 

  • nostalgia music

  • remember how wow was kind of makes me want to switch to one of the new mmos....ones that have world pvp not instances or arenas...

  • i remember watching this ^^ the mmorpg i was playing at the time was so HORRIBLE compared to that clip.. Tibia... UGH!!

  • I remember watching this when I played Wc3. i couldn't take my eyes of it. Oh god the nostalgia is killing me :(

  • I think I'm like the only person who hasn't played this game before, when it was released for the very first time I think I was like 13, 14 and wasn't interested much. After I finally took interest (Wrath of the Lich King) everyone was saying it was bad so I never purchased it. It feels like it's progressed so much now (3 expansions) that I would be completely lost if I attempted playing it :(

  • @QuickfleX1990 Wrath of the Lich King was my favorite expansion.

  • @QuickfleX1990 its not that you would be lost, its that the content would suck, say what you want about Vanilla, such as "the quest are the same" it was just a feeling i can't discribe, logging in for the first time... the content back then felt better and blizzard wasn't giving their main fans that shaft yet... then bc... then wotlk.... then, oh god Cataclysm...

  • nostalgia makes everything better

  • Originally, Gurubashi arena was supposed to be a big fancy thing... sorta like AoA CoC, Ring of blood... those, but better :P

  • 2:21 WORGENS!!!!

  • Vanilla was the best. The current game and state of the game is a travesty.

  • great starting btw

  • It wasn't arenas that destroyed world pvp, it was instant Qs. Remember when you had to travel all the way to ashenvale or northern barrens just to que for WSG? Or arathi highlands for AB. People would then form groups to attack each other's outpost while waiting in Q. With instant Qs everyone just became lazy and sat their ass in main cities all day. Wow just isn't as active as it used to be..

  • @Adamantiis Kind of like when people had to killed and hunted their own food, now people just order a pizza or drive up to McDonalds to get a burger, Welcome to Fat America, where even WoW is lazy.

  • Do not watch this if you run out of wow time. it makes you want to play....really fucking bad...

  • Im waiting for guildwars 2, but no game will ever be like world of warcraft. This game was truely a masterpiece, and it still would be if it waynt easy as fuck...

  • Aww the days when people socialized and the taste of blood from real world pvp. I even miss the way the characters looked back then.

  • I miss the stormwind park D: it was awesome for guild parties

  • the blizz logo is ...o.o and some sword sounds and hit sounds dont exist.

  • I remember when everyone wanted to be a warrior tank

  • now a days u have to be so much pro

  • lol the guy at 2:36 looks like uther lightbringer from warcraft 3

  • WOW IS AWESOME!

  • So nostalgic ;)

  • Back then you had to be in a group if you wanted to survive. Like how in Warcraft 2-3 you could join 2 or more units together and fight large groups of monsters..

    ...I miss my Beta paladin.

  • Is it wrong of me to say that this looks better/more fun/more realistic than Vanilla, TBC, WotLK & Cata?

  • Thumbs up if : WoW,BC was the good days

    Thumbs down if : WoW ,BC was the suck ass day

  • Thumbs Up if you is a World of Warcraft: Cataclysm player

  • lol you rarely see people running around everyone is in town in some queue

  • I remember beta ;(

  • REMOVE THE FREAKING ARENAS BLIZZARD!

  • @nejustinas32 Don't be mad because you're a nab.

  • @wiibot15 no its just that arenas are the reason why people don't raid places like crossroads any more.

  • @nejustinas32 Or because cata is out and no one cares to...

  • @nejustinas32 ffs who'd want to raid crossroads anyway, that's a serious dick move for the new players.

  • @wiibot15 its because they would need honor if there were no arenas. And it would be more fun. And ofc horde would be there a lot since they also would need honor so...world PVP!!!!!!

  • @nejustinas32 What the fuck is wrong with you? If you don't like arenas don't do them.

  • @wiibot15 i don't do them because i have already done enough with my PVP character. But what ever man i see you don't think about it and just f*** off people....

  • @nejustinas32 you're a fag man :)

    '

  • @wiibot15 arenas did ruin the game.

  • @zulok1337 for you because you fucking suck.

  • @wiibot15 saw your channel. you trollin. go away.

  • @zulok1337 You wish I were trolling, shut the hell up. You're just a stupid scrub that can't play.

    You're mad because you suck at pvp (ARENA AND BATTLEGROUND). Go play in traffic, fucking prick.

  • @wiibot15 U mad troll?

  • omg i so happy of being a world of warcraft beta testers when it first came out loved it

  • Something need doing?

  • Imagine if they kept the WoW now like that....

  • there was even some blood splatter :D

  • i remembered seeing this trailer when i was young.

  • lol i was like ten when this game first came out, it was so fun back in the day, WoW and The burning crusade are all that i like

  • i got wow cataclysm retail! woho!

  • I want that orc hair

  • Haha worgens ;)

  • damn! this was back in the day haha

  • World of warcraft was being worked on ever scence 1999 but the announced it in 2001. heres a timeline. 1999 - 2001 = pre alpha dev only client (almost nothing works decently.) 2001 - mid 2003 = alpha (some stuff worked ok. but NOTHING was bugless. level cap was about 40.) 2003 - early 2004 = beta. (most things are working decently and will be perfected soon. this is usally the phase where you can get to max level.) (*** I HAVE NO IDEA REALLY THESE ARE PURELY GUESSES ***)

  • you cod do those kind of things in the stv arena back then?

  • Most people say they miss old wow so much and they wished it was still like that, i didn't play wow but i used to watch my friends play it, and all i have to say, is that u may THINK u miss it, but if u went back to it now, u would be saying, wow... i must of been retarded to think that this shit was fun back in the day, I recently went back to a game that i was saying the EXACT same shit about, and i uninstalled it within 15 mins of playing it.

  • @soborredrightnow no dude iam playing on the last patch to classic wow and ive played it for about atleast 2 years with my friends and its been fun

  • @shastin77 There is always a few exceptions to each statement. but a majority of people wouldn't like what old wow was

  • hey how can you play old school wow if you dont dowload updates?

  • @7Sins92 You cant.

  • @7Sins92 play on a private server that runs on an old version, or make your own if you have a good enough comp.

  • @soborredrightnow There are certain things about current WoW that are indeed good. However, when people say they miss "Old school" WoW they are most likely talking about the fact the content was more enjoyable, the PvP was better, etc.

    Arenas destroyed world PvP in WoW. Forming a 30 man raid to attack Hillsbrad Foothills is impossible now. I use to remember the days of entering South Shore and Tarren Mill and seeing 30 people from the opposing faction razing it.

    That doesn't happen anymore.

  • @skrysinski Thats kinda what i was trying to get at, "the content was more enjoyable" it was more enjoyable because it was original, MOSTLY everything is ths most fun the first time u try it, i started playing durring BC, and the first toon i lvld, was the most fun ive had in my life, but after that doing the same shit over and over, its going to become washed down, and thats what i think people would feel if they went back to original, the game would feel washed down...

  • @skrysinski yeah dude i wish i could of seen those days....i really do..

  • @skrysinski Ah the good ol' days. Had a s few epic Tarren Mill raids myself back in the day.

  • @skrysinski are you high i still have days where tarren mill is still being ganked

    

  • @skrysinski who cares. If you like the game then you. If you do not, you do not.

  • the game evolved..get over it.

  • @M4aarc no

  • @M4aarc i miss it totally ..every day sitting together TS 3 or at LAN ..drink beer and play WoW ..

  • @M4aarc technology gets better every year, people get old every day, stop staying in the past, play something new, wow is getting old....even with cata...............GW2 cant wait!

  • @M4aarc everyonw who thumbs up this top comment is lame because they like world of gaycraft

  • Comment removed

  • @M4aarc never got a chance to play it :(

  • for the sake of nostalgia i vote that they should release a client side version of the old beta so some of the old school players can go back and re-experience the classic game play

  • anyone notice that the tauren warr did a one hit kill on the tiger ? so OP ...

  • Comment removed

  • Crusader857 = gay

  • orcs = gay

    human stance while fighting = gay

    overall = gay

  • @Crusader857 both of ur dads = gay

  • WOTLK is okay but Cata looks like its going to be a huge let-down...

  • lol its look bad its sucks ffs dont want this game. now if I say that you all that love wow will say that this was the beta video before the game did come out right?. well Im sick of all wow players That Says that other games are bad when they are watching them. and I say it again those who say that are fucking retarded -.-

    btw sry about my bad eng...

  • Look at this shitty game, graphics didnt changed in 5 years. what a piece of shit.

  • @Yaminabototal Thats why it has been thriving for close to 5 years now and is home to close to 12 million active subscribers huh?

  • Loving the way that theres all the people in the arena and you think 'Cool world PVP' then suddenly WORGEN appear! ...and all the people in the arena dissappear

  • lol, wow is actually a social game right now...

    Call it : The Sims Warcraft Edition

  • 1:30 Thats the old school goblin dance dat da human be doin on the bar...

  • WoW used to be so good.... they ruined it and dumbed it down for the 12 year olds. Anyways, im hoping ncsoft wont ruin their new game like blizzard ruined WoW. Aion ftw ^_^ reminds me of old WoW when it was CHALLENGING. - im guna get a lot of trolls and fanboys on this comment l0l

  • wish gurubashi was more like this

  • Lol...damn man i remember so much thing back then ...getting my dreadsteed was a fucking pain in the butt...walking from darnassus to SW was a 3 hours walk XD damn good old time...at least you felt good for what you could accomplish now any random brazilian sauce player can play it and manage to get decent gear...eeeek back then he wouldnt even have managed to get 60

  • It better now.

  • @Toxinfan123 no really it is not...

  • ok well..... i started in BC... it was so much fun and i was told in vanlilla it was evan better... but they just spoiled it now... tauren paladins.... nelf mages.. comon seriously? there have just nerfed everything... you see low experianced players with kingslayer title.... dont get me wrong its a good game i just think they need to look back what they did right in vanlilla and take ideas from that :]

  • @Pjanoo1 night elf mages make sense its in the lore...

  • @chrisking4ftw No N Elf Pallies? :*(

  • @chrisking4ftw They were banished for abuse of magic, so the fact they are returning with cataclysm makes sence and the fact that they weren't there when they weren't needed makes sence

  • Missing classic WoW? Check ouy Forsakengaming!:P the best classic server out there!

  • lol..wow beta looks...idk..to much metin ?

  • @MathNL

    no! and when they came, you had to travel there you could noch join at the main citiies

  • stop complaining that wow is too easy imagine it like this today having an epic is like having a green in vanilla so for example hard core players who have kiled the lich king on heroic whci isnt easy at all! they get higher item lvl gear so its still fair if uwant it to be like before then treat epics like greens then all is ok

  • @TheZombinator1 And you just made no sence, i assume you never played Vanilla.? Yea some things sucked ass, But most whas epic, like your mount on 40, so you realy had to work had, and had to travel everywhere, so you saw something of the world... Or when you had to Earn your gear, Endlessly had to grind raids, the feeling Whas epic, and ( most of us ) will miss, its nothing more then a easy ass game, where everyone can walk around without realy learn the game anymore

  • @azaing I thought the whole feel of the old WoW was awesome, but really you can't say the new WoW is a pile of shit, it has improved greatly on things, it's added things that should have been added in the beta only recently.Yeah I think the mount thing sucks a bit, and the grinding was good.. for a while. I mean you seriously had to have 0 life to be able to get anywhere in the game, just to get blue gear you had to sit there hacking and slashing your way through an instance for a good few hours

  • @waterhot80 Never said its a pile of crap

    I said a Easy ass game, wich is realy is now... Dont you think?

    I still play WoW, everyday ( Yea a no lifer and all.Woo, damn proud of it also )

    For like 5.5-6 years now ( can be more, or less ) But almost from the start...

    I dont realy liked it anymore, Noobs Used to keep like stuck at lvl 40-45 they didnt like it and left the game, Now they make it to end level, ruin your pugs, raids, Hc;s What ever. anyway, Hope you get my point :)

  • @azaing Totally agree with you.. i was horde and had alot of those types.. now i joined ally and its even worse! u only find like 20% ppl that are what horde are 80% of

  • @azaing just to get like 1 item of blue gear. Yeah I'll admit it's a bit too easy to get blue gear now adays, but I'd personally rather it was easier than harder. Good epics are still fairly difficult to obtain, it's not like you can get the absolute best gear by doing nothing. I also think the fact you have to run heroics all the time to get badges is a big grind in itself, but back in the old days it was 100x the grind it is nowadays. But everyone has their own opinions.

  • @waterhot80 Thats my point ¬.¬

    People like you Like it easy instead of hard...

    the grinds made it special.. I think you never played Vanilla if you ask me..? Is it

    Now you farm Hc's till you have 210 emblems, Buy full t9 gear And tadaa there you go, Noobs and retards going to do Hc's-raid-pvp.

  • @azaing Well it's would you rather have a life or not, I'd rather have one and you not. It was too much of a boring grind in the earlier days. I think if WoW went back to the old days you'd quickly wish you didn't have to travel to every instance, have to find 40 people for your raid, have to farm instances 20 times a day, have to grind the same primal essense to get gold. AND WHATEVER THE FUCK ELSE! I dno, I just don't think yee would.

  • @waterhot80 I couldn't agree more with you. And dont forget the gold farming or mount and spells... It was for the ppl back then fun because they didnt know better, but now it's so much better. Now if u want to be a pugraider, u dont have to farm for days after all and hardcore raiding still is hard and takes alot of time and skill

  • @azaing Dude I've played vanilla wow. And it was gay compered to how it is now... What is the fun about spending 20 days farming shit instances like, strah or solomance and then maybe get the gear to try some of the first 20 man raids. What is the fun about farming 20 hours for gold and then u can buy a new spell... It was gay back then. Now it's better, the emblems for hc's are for people who are just 80 and if you want to raid hardcore it still takes alot of time and fun

  • everyone was like aion will kill WoW lol that fucking pathetic piece of shit never even scratched the surface

  • LOLZ AT THE HUMAN CHICK WIELDING FROSTMOURNE at :41

  • I hope blizzards is bringing some of the old wow back when cataclysm comes out

  • Wow this game looks so epic then what it is now gameplay wise i wish i started back in the vanilla wow. I started around when BC came out so i woulden't know i must say from what i have seen on youtube of the old vanilla wow i must say it looks better then what is does now

  • O.O orc had a human hair style, and at the bar they were dancing like goblins and different attack stances.

  • God i remember when you had to get someone to enchant items

  • the fight mode looks ftw

  • is this what wow wouldve looked like or did?

  • @moonash1 It did look like this. This trailer is from 2004 (kinda).

  • @moonash1 what it did look like

  • wow sucks now, bring preBC realms blizzard or ill poop on you!!! xD

  • 2:30

    So that was how palas used to look while fightin' lmao

  • why'd the take out all those character models most look a lot cooler

  • That dance was given to the goblins

  • Human Hair at 0:28. looks friggin' awesome on that orc.

  • There's actually a clip of it, probably somewhere on youtube

  • Dont know his name, but he was rewarded with a Frostmourne replica and free wotlk copy when wotlk was released, he shaked hands with blizzard and got photos taken, all happaned at midnight in New York.

  • this is wow Alpha i belive

  • aion is much more of a challenge to level, ill admit.. but wow is just more fun. more options as far as leveling to cap, while aion is just a grindfest. quests help, but when it gets down to it is just a monster grind

  • Oh god, the Original WoW Theme... I had forgotten how awesome it was. It just gave a better epic feeling. I always loved it back in the day - got me pumped to play on my dwarf. Is there a way to get back the old theme and background when starting WoW?

  • I miss old WoW too. Back when it was hard to actually become good at it. But WoW is still a great game its just much easier.

  • @victimofmetal um old school wow sucked dick. it was a grindfest and if you can raid 10hours a day you can get gear. maybe,

  • @kkeV666 ya i liked it that way actually.

  • @victimofmetal Then don't play it :P

  • @victimofmetal Then don't play it :P

    But yeah, I agree. Old WoW is indeed missed sorely.

  • @victimofmetal Dude... everything has to change sometimes -.- People change and so do games. Get over it.

  • @victimofmetal hah, I was smart, got to level 30 in aubirdine if not a bit farther into the night elf area and then to gnomergon and stuff then quite the game, looks like I made the right choice sense all a online game can do from the first it is released is go down hill these days :( bet you didn't even know there was a matrix online and it was canacled and now has a half working emulator (private server)

  • @victimofmetal stfu dude we are all way to acomodated with the way things are if u would play vanila again now ud get bored of it fast..play wow for almost 6 years now and when i whent on vanila private servers it got booring so fast..

  • @victimofmetal classic wow was better lore wise etc but. In the way of playing you char hell know then it was a lot worse then it is now compare cata pally with classic pally compare how many more spells mages have know. Look how the game looks now i think its only got better not worse at all.

  • @108379wow People have a tendency to remember only the good things of the past.

  • My GOD I miss Vanilla! ='(

  • ..yeah i remember those days...that was the way yhe arena was supposed to be kinda like the 3.2 argent crusade arena just wave after wave of boss and mobs..kinda like an instance...wich is what it was turned into

  • i remember this video :O it was the first gameplay movie wow made... i remember i saw this many years ago just before the relese!

  • Graphics aint everything :)

  • the tune reminded me of teh first time i got wow and that everyone all were noobs XD

  • The dance animation in the bar you're talking about, Goblins got that now :P Not the Cataclysm ones, but the current NPC models.

  • I sorta think this version of WoW looks better than the one we've got

  • the animation look lile shit in that rofl

  • Now thats what Arenas Should be, spectator sports vs Mobs rather than pvp.

  • uh, trial of the crusader is like that :p

  • WoW beta = 2003

    Aion Beta = 2009

    fag

  • Years still matter

  • You cant compare wows beta and aions beta, idiot and wow has 5 years on it and it is still a good game so HAH

  • wow is good but aion gives you much better gameplay and graphics ;)

  • Graphics yes...Gameplay no. =p

  • @Arthas93 actually you can compare the betas dumbfuck. By comparing the beta's you can get a sense of how much better aion is at the start and think of how it will progress through the years as wow did.

  • Comment removed

  • @PrinceVampiro Well you CANT compare them really, they did not come out at the same time. Still warcraft is holding up 5 freaking years later then it has to say somting...... .go away

  • aion had already been out for a year in asia + this footage is alpha footage

  • i dont realy care -.- no 1 cares -.-

  • okey.

  • I really do wish the game looked like this. The models look more realistic, the game looks a lot more.. Interesting. Nostalgia was better yesterday, but this yesteryear WoW really does look better.

  • is there a draenei doing /rude at 1.20?? this is a vanilla alpha/beta game play right??

  • No, that seems to be an old human model... A bit chunky... :)
