  • @ThePatricco good times. lol

  • 1:40 best pary

  • This song reminds toughness, Stranglethorn, not a easy land, mobs are numerous. Especially on a PVP server, I've been camped many times. But I love it, and I'll still love it.

  • I Remember when I used to go through here on my level 35 hunter, thinking I could own Westfall... great times when all lvl 60 came lool

  • I have very fond memories of this track. I could hear it being played in my head as I sat there in my little tubular floatation device floating about the stagnant pond that wasnt protected by any shade or coolness, the burning sun could be seen evaporating the water away....and the ice in my alcoholic mixed drink. Nothing to do on this hot summer day besides float around.

    Who would want to do anything in this heat anyway?

  • set an alarm every 3 hours to wake up and loot the arena chest. Even though I wasn't level 60, sometimes sap lasted just long enough for me to loot the chest lolol. And the times when I was 60 and we'd loot the chest and leave a pot in there so the chest stayed and we could keep fighting ahahaha. The music was so perfect, I'm not sure we'll ever get another experience like vanilla as blizz love orchestra stuff now.

  • You cast premeditate

    Stealth fades from you

    Your Ambush crits allienoob for 740!

    Your Eviscerate hits allienoob for 497!

    Allienoob dies.

    You have slain allienoob!

  • Ding 40!

  • I remember always running away from those high level arses with mounts when I was still trying to reach level 40. This was back in like 2006 lol

  • @Muglosx This comment reminded me of a special moment! <3

  • @JustBallax :O It was you who was always chasing me wasn't it?! ;)

  • @Muglosx Narh it was usually me getting ganked by people below 40, I was a VERY bad player back then :(

  • THE memorys I REMMBER ganking AH its.....TERRIBLE ....no leave me alone im only 32....NOOOO ;"(

  • It is sad that no mmo's after WoW really got the same feeling of world PvP, it's very restricted this days.

    One of the reasons together with heavy nerfs starting to fall on the game back in late BC was when i stoped playing, in good time it seems as WoW turned into some christmas sparkling tree with instant teleportation around the world with a click of a button.

    Proud High Warlord back in 2006 :)

  • Mute new music put this on

  • The new one is just not that good. I'm glad I have been leveling here with my hunter before Cata. Questing in Stranglethorn AND listening to the original music. So much memories!

  • reminds me of my first toon i ever made and i would spend all day saturday trying to level getting ganked by horde lol... good times:)

  • STV was the worst part about leveling on a PvP server, lol.

  • who wanna play with me WOW on a english realm ? send me a message here in youtube please :-P I create a new character then !

  • Ever since Cata WoW isn't WoW anymore, it's more like 'meh'.

  • You know it ain't the same game anymore when you feel Nostalgia for a game your still playing. I miss the old WoW.

  • watch?v=l2Ix8TlAFMk this is like a chillout version, its amazing

  • I love this Part, ganking, Actions in the Gurubashi Arena and cool Quests.

    And the best, some Allies who are awaiting my backstep :D

    <<<333

  • lol my god it was so hard to quest in stv back then due to pure ganking....on a pvp server at least. is it still like that? havent played in quite a while and dont plan on getting back into wow

  • @bjoe201988 Nope zones dead like 4 people each side max now

  • The nostalgic feel... Love it.

  • stv quests were soooooo fucking stupid lol "run off and kill a bunch of shit" waslike 90% of them...

  • I still remember the first time I went into the ZG path, not knowing the guards had been killed so i was going through the path exploring when all of a sudden wack! Some skull level trolls killed me. Never forgot that till this day.

  • Once upon a time there was this epic game called World of warcraft...

  • nothing better than being in SV at night smokin some herb and enjoying this track! :D

  • 2:10 - 2:50 my fav

  • so.... much... nostalgia....

  • Stranglethorn Vale. An absolutely unforgettable zone.

  • every expansion has an increase in levels, therefore it is logical to narrow the gap between the levels. However then new people are missing about 70% of the content that was fantastic and actually WAS World of Warcraft, forget all this redone crap, they ruined the world I wish they would just hurry up and make Vanilla private servers.

  • I love ganking ppl here but I dont corpse camp because I know the feeling of being corpse camped. instead I stay there, bow at them when they rez, and run off.

  • I played wow until 60 and was doing blw lair by the time I stopped cuz I couldnt concentrate on my studies. Anyway, by listening to these songs I remember how cool it was to lvl up, fulfil quests and visit dangerous instances. WoW was filled with magic. For what I saw now, they completely fucked up the adventure of lvling up. The magic of WoW is forever lost.

  • Gotta love trolls! ^^,

  • Remember, it's not about how many times you kill them, but how long you keep them from completing the quests.

  • I remember on my first character a Nelf hunter. Walking into stranglethorn and was like " yeaa I pwn im lvl 30" and then getting ganked all the time. And all the general chat was "LF page" for that one quest where you had to find a bunch of pieces

  • @PeeltheZergling Dayum I remember that bloody page quest!

  • @PeeltheZergling SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!

  • This is what I did the whole time in STV....LF PEOPLE FOR BHAG'HERA! (Panther leader)

  • I wonder what happens if i step into this arena...OH GOD ROGUES KILLING ME

  • Pre-BC WoW is just full of memories for me, memories that are so sad now that it's almost as if WoW was an actual part of my life. I don't mean just playing the game, I mean as if I were actually in the game.

    Of all those memories STV is probably right at the top. At level 40, beginning to quest there, it was so tough and unforgiving. You had to look for quest items or locations that would take an hour just to find, and all the while the god damn horde would pop up out of nowhere and 1shot me.

  • Questing and leveling in the old world, even with the xp buffs was the very last I thing enjoyed doing in this game that just kept getting worse and worse. Then Cata came and had to take even that away for good. The new linear on-rails ultra fast questing to 60 system is awful and feels more like a single player XBOX 360 game than a sprawling, adventure filled MMO like this game used to be.

    Listening to these tracks is just so bittersweet. R.I.P. WOW for real. It just doesn't exist anymore.

  • @TheREALVletrmx21 Perfectly stated.

  • This gives me pre bc flashbacks. The best gaming I have ever experienced.

  • @Aggiesgigem I am right there with you 100% of the way.

  • I used to hide in the water, below the docks, with my NE hunter. As soon as horde passengers put their foot out of the ship, deadly arrows stroke them from below. It was sooo fun, I miss the old times.

  • @Tasarte WoW was different back then. I had another view of it. I was the character, and it was me exploring things. I felt danger.

  • If you played on Trollbane (EU) during Vanilla and/or TBC and DID NOT get ganked by Thebigcheese in STV at some point you haven't truly experienced World of Warcraft.

  • I love this music but i have went so many times in STV and now i'm going in Desolace --> AH --> Badlands --> SOS because i have only went there 1 time and i'm going again there :) they rulzz too do you agree ?

  • PURE ART

  • Immediately as this video starts it's like being hit by a mac truck containing nothing but premium nostalgia.

  • nostalgia... stranglethorn, no mount, trying to get to level 40 so i can get one. spent HOURS walking back and forth! you kids don't know how easy you have it! mount at level 20? Flight paths galore!? it was a big deal when you would ding between 30-40!

  • @Thefinalfall

    You did very well old man.

    Now let the younger ones have fun without suffering like you. ;)

  • Ahh, memories of being one-shotted and being like WTF? What happened? Only to have the ganker dance or jump around your corpse ._.

  • [Trade] [Me]:Okay, thank you again!

    [Trade] [Niceguy]: No problem, if you need anything else, just add me to your friends list and feel free to whisper me...

    [Trade] [Me]: Okay, and how do I do that...? I'm sorry I need to figure out this game :\

    [Trade] [Nicegy]: No problem, we all started like you. Press 'O' and click add friend and then type my name.

    [Trade] [Me]: Okay... done! Yay I got a friend!

    [Trade] [Niceguy]: Haha ;-)

    I still remember this like if it was yesterday. *TRUE STORY

  • @magictouch115 Today:

    A: How do I add somebody?

    B: lllllllolololol, what a nooooooBBb hahahahahaha l2p

  • @magictouch115 97% of WoW are douchebags, 3% are epicsauce

  • @magictouch115 Know that feel brah

  • [Trade] [Me]: What the... whats a troll??? You mean like hes a troll character? Well, I'm a Troll too..

    [Trade] [TROLL]: LOL HAHA

    [Trade] [Niceguy]:No, a troll is someone who tries to prank on you, and if they are good at trolling, you wont even notice that they are trolling. They prey on New players like yourself.

    [Trade] [Me]: Oh okay, ty.

    [Trade] [Niceguy]: No probs, Grom'Gol is at the middle of the map, at the right side btw. Be warry, because lvl 30 raptors stalk the way...

  • [Trade] [Me]:Anyone knows where I can find Grom'gnol basecamp? I just bought this game and this is my first character...

    [Trade] [TROLL]: Ride to Duskwood and to the left there is a camp, infested with Humans. Don't worry, they are part of the Steamwheedle Cartel.

    [Trade] [Me]: What or who are the Steamwheedle Cartel?

    [Trade] [TROLL]:They are free merchants, they won't hurt you.

    [Trade] [Me]: Okay, thanks!

    [Trade [Niceguy]:No, no, no! Don't listen to him, hes a troll, its an Alliance camp!

  • By far, this was my favorite place to level, (outside of teldrassil).

    Just the jungle-ness and the voodoo and the trolls- made me feel like Indiana Jones. :'D

  • I remember getting ganked in SV sooo often during my questing as horde or alliance. Good stuff though.

  • Ganker or gankee, you have to admire the beauty of Stranglethorn Vale.

  • 2:10 and onward, soooo atmospheric! (:

  • We all sould play wow vanilla on a private server hahaha

  • What say all us vanilla wow players set out to get blizz to make a server for us all with only vanilla wow on it no TBC,WOTLK or CATA just World Of Warcraft

  • @wowhorde12

    Been tried before mate it it wont happen im afraid.

  • from :02 till :07, the laugh creeps me out

  • Reminds me of Stronghold Crusader for some reason.

    Anyway, best zone. Period.

  • It reminds me for my memories with my friends.... <3

  • I miss Vanilla WoW so much ...

  • it brings back my beautiful memories...

  • This is the official tune for GANKING

  • @Nakzor Especially as a rogue...

  • @Nakzor HAHAHA YEAH IT IS..or was.. :(

  • @Nakzor OOOO YEAHHH THAT"S WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT LOL i love stv :XXX

  • @Nakzor YES finally who agrees with me :P i always came by stranglethorn as a horde to go gank the ally nubs in duskwood or at the small alliance camp at that small bridge :P god the moments i spent laughing and ganking in duskwood were endless and hilarious ^^

  • @Nakzor who made you play on a PvP server?

  • i feel all emotions,when i hear it,

    omg,it's so beautiful ♥

  • 2:50 - 3:35

    I Love this part <3

  • @alohamadiano

    haha fc this part!

  • thumbs up if the new shitty elevator music of the stranglethorn vale led you here to honor this masterpiece.

  • Stranglethorn Vale, back in vanilla WoW, no mount until 40, on a PvP realm......

  • they removed this music, asshole blizzard

  • ahhh stranglethorn vale, spent hours here - even when i didnt need to :)

  • Does 2:30 remind anyone else of the film The Last Samurai?

  • I remember STV. I spent days farming gorillas to lvl up because I didn't have any quests xD, but at the same time I enjoyed every minute of it.

  • @Martyriumz HO HO HO HOORR HUURRGRUUR!!

  • amazing sound!! nostalgic

  • i loved STV :)

  • i swear this was in warcraft 3

  • @iorost lol indeed, suddenly a rogue jumped you or some fucking packs of tigers, I died so many times but still was soooo fun. This music is as you said really fit for STV :D

  • stranglethorn vale is one of my favorite level zones :)

  • I want some dedicated Vanilla and BC servers.

  • @kittenkannon9089 That would be awesome but Blizz has already said that it will probably never happen.

  • @justkikinit yeah, I don't think it ever will. Probably way to complex or too much work to run those different servers.

  • @justkikinit Blizz has already contradicted themselves with things they said they'd "never do." Faction-change, race-change, etc etc etc. We can only hope they'll go back on their word on the oldschool servers :).

  • @kittenkannon9089 Seriously. Blizz rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars, they can afford to set up a few vanilla servers. Shit, I'd play on one, and there are thousands more who would too.

  • @VegasBilgeRat But if you didn't know, they are owned by Activision now, and Activision is a company to sell and make a profit. From my perspective, the Vanilla and BC servers seem like a bad idea, because some people would only just have to buy the original game instead of having to pay about 100 bucks overall, from buying Vanilla, BC, WotLK and upcoming Cataclysm. In other words, they wouldn't rake in a profit from those servers.

  • @kittenkannon9089 yea, but plenty of businesses do many things that cost them money, in the pursuit of customer service. And I have to disagree, I don't think many people would choose not to buy the expansions. The vast majority of people who desire a vanilla server are hardcore WoW players who have already bought the expansions. Not to mention, the bread and butter of WoW is the subscriptions, not the minor income from expansion sales.

  • STV for ever :) ..

    Place where i (most of us) got killed by hordes or mobs ..:) ..good old time..

    The same time were u did help each other and make fun, even when u didnt have full epic.

    Also it was a challnge to get the The Gurubashi Arena chest....even when u wasnt level 60.

    And what we got now? ...

    To many people forgot to make fun in WoW and all they care about is ICC and *OMGWTFCHECKMYGEAR! ...*

  • 2:52 is where the best part begins.

  • most amazing sight on wow:sat on beach in STV looking into sunset...with new water effects i hope they leave some beaches in cata so we can see the amazingness

  • Lol these are all good comments but what the hell is Nostalgia? :L

  • BACK IN MY DAY YOU COULD BUY THE ENTIRE SET OF GREEN HILLS PAGES FOR LESS THAN A GOLD

  • Cataclysm will be the end of wow T_T

    it will be an entire new game...nothing we are used to and all the memories will be lost......

  • @Toross93 Stop being so freggin dramatic, you cant in all honesty keep looking at the same thing forever or it starts to get old, ya know? :P

  • this music brings nice memories !

    love it !

    i hope stranglethorne vale wil stay as it is in cataclysm !

  • 2:54 onward is my favorite part, levelling there was so fun but monotonous. come to think of it, i would give alot to be able to level in vanilla again

  • the day i log into cataclysm ima fly thruout all azeroth and just soak up all the memories i had in the years ive played in those lands

  • @MikeD650 Those memories will be gone in cataclysm, There totally changing the landscape of every place in azeroth :(

  • hahahaha @ 1:00 that ticking sound used to come at those random points where u just defeated a mob or completed a quest............... and oh my good walking from duskwood to bootybay was such a horrible long way and i always got killed by those raptors or gorillas or what not :( YET GOOD OLD TIMES!

  • /1 Some 60 dude is ganking me at nesingwary!

  • STV..best place in WoW...

    WOTLK had destroyed the game a little bit.. and Cataclym destroy it full...

  • @TheBlackstyle92

    QQ.

    Cataclysm offers ample oppurtunity to experience new adventures and REdiscover the world we know.

    What do you wanna do, play the exact same game for years and years to come? You'll be bored to tears.

  • @Stonezorz

    Hmm I mean... I have more Fun with WoW before Wotlk.. The most people think so.... I miss this Game so much..

  • @TheBlackstyle92

    Obviously, classic WoW's formula was far superior to the things we've seen with BC and WotLK.

    Old Azeroth was changed though, classic isn't what it used to be and now is some confused amalgama of old and new wich isn't exactly improving the levelling environment. With Cataclysm we're going to see some positive change if you ask me.

  • @Stonezorz

    lvl 60 then 70, 80 and now 85 i think in future they make it up to lvl 100... i hate it

  • @ukorit

    I'm not sure if there is much to hate with the upcoming expansion pack. We, the players, always whine about just about everything they introduce with every new pack because it brings change to the things we now trust. I, for one, am looking forward to Cataclysm's release!

  • Dude I was playing for year or more before BC came out...and I was looking forward to BC....then I got disapointed real bad...and after,I thought,like you now,that the next expansion will fix it all,and that it will be the good old Wow....but guess what....the same happened as before... And now,how could I be positive about new expansion...I quit the game anyway,was sick and tired of all the farming wow became...

  • @14Srb88

    I first thought the same as you to be honest, still am kind of sceptical about some of the things I've seen come and go. Cataclysm seems really solid up until now though, far more than WotLK did when BC was still running at least. Wether you want to play it or not is up to the player in the end though.

  • @Stonezorz

    i guess but i still play my snes games from when i was 5. i play them all the time.

    still not bored of them.

  • @Itsdefault

    Ofcourse, that's because the SNES is one hell of a gaming system. It's also completely irrelevant when it comes to WoW and its expansion packs though. :P

  • Stupid ass teenagers rushed blizzard for wrath, thats why its so shitty

  • 2:10 is the best

  • Whenever I was bored, I'd go here and kill the gankers. Good times.

  • google mp3iifffy to download this song from youtube.

  • I wonder how different the memories of ganklethorn vale are for people from pve realms.

  • @Kingdemonpigfromhell I remember it by the arena which I always failed at and the rare gorilla in that cave I tried to tame but accidentally killed. :\

    I always died in stranglethorn vale, but I still loved it x3

  • 2:10 - Nostalgia fest

  • @FinalFrontier0 No kidding.

  • As much as I am excited for Cataclysm, that much I am sad for STV being destroyed.They say that the world will be forever changed.That forever means to the next expansion.I mean,Azeroth wont be destroyed forever.STV is my fav place.The trolls,the music,the quests.Ahhh...I love STV.When I play a troll and I am in STV,the feeling is great.And,yeah,we have all been ganked.Thats why I love STV.I must keep my eyes open all the time to not be slaughtered.I can write about STV all day here.

  • i nostalgia'd all over my computer.

  • I think there's something about the vanilla (original) of any MMO, you know, just an MMO before expansions. I thought TBC added a lot, WotLK added a little, but I don't think Cataclysm will be very cool. So, I think the expansions added content, but it wasn't very good content. I think they made parts of Outland a joke, like with the high tech areas. WoW has a "watered down" feel to it these days.

  • yeah it does, i remember running out of quests to do in vanilla i was 56 and had to grind in silithus to 60, man those were the days

  • The worst part of the added content is the goblin high tech stuff. High tech is for Starcraft, not medieval Europe based RPGs. It also felt like some of the expansion material was forced out of the writers, and they couldn't come up with anything good after Vanilla WoW. The content was good as long as they could really base it off of WCIII

  • thatwhy I have a lot of 30 - 40 chars ! i got a very nice feeling when i hear this music and think about the coast of grom gol and zeppelins :) OAAh wonderful I like really to enjoy this game !! and i want classic back ^^

  • Ahh, all these videos take me back (:

    i started a few months before the beginning of TBC, so i got to experience some of vanilla WoW.

    When i hit 70, i was really disappointed with the whole end game aspect, but maybe that's down to the server i was on (Xavius, it was dead when i left and apparently still is).

    But damn, this is making me want to reinstall and start all over again lol.

    l

  • defiantly it was ur server cuz its not dead at all now i play on the thrall server but that servers only good for horde alliance are lacking in skill there no offence to them

  • /1 WTB Green Hills pages 4, 6 , 7. 10s each!

    (Cause 10 silver was something back then) :)

  • @lastplacewin dang rly? now ppl say they want 50g for em XD

  • @lastplacewin Nostalgia'd fucking hard. Lol

  • I am SO looking forward to all these quests and chillin in STV on my Troll priest. She's only 21 now and I'm still in Ashenvale :D gorgeous zone.

    Anyone else who feels so nostalgic after watching these videos needs to start an alt and do everything all over again, at your own pace (I'm going to stay guildless to 80). It really takes you back...

  • Damn this brings back memories. WoW is way too economic now. Not enough of that feeling of insecurity as your running through some foreign land. There also isn't enough of a diversity between player character power scales. Its either now your geared, or your not. I remember when I got my azuresong mageblade and was super excited. Nowadays... almost everyone is fulled epic'd.

  • aye lol xD, who hasn't been ganked in STV

    good old days!

  • Lol when i was first playing through on my mage. I seriously contemplated how I was going to get through STV because of how many times I got ganked.

    It was fun as hell though hah.

  • Man, I feel so terrible not being able to play through the first few years of WoW when level 60 was cool and there were no such things as DKs. I only started when BC was launched. Damn you music and the nostalgia I will never have.

  • I feel your pain, I came into the game towards the END of BC. my main wasen't even level 70 when WotLK came out....

  • same, and i agree with u

  • Who hasnt been ganked to the sounds of STV? lol

  • whats the instrument at 2:11?

  • @BudgetStudios Sounds like an erhu to me.

  • i remember entering stranglethorn valley for the first time with my gnome rogue and being all like "OMG nesingwarys expedition is being attacked!" and everybody else was all like "Oh who cares? It's always like this!"

  • Reminds me gettin pwnd by nasty human mage...ou those sweet times =)

  • the night elf starting and low zones are the most nostalgic, because my first char was one.. but STV is awesome.

    people don't understand how WoW is awesome and think its just a gay video game...but down to the style and music, it really is a pretty brilliant game.

  • i think its a gay video game. because clearly gays have good taste. I should know.

  • Ah, I feel the same way. My first char was a night elf druid. You get an awesome feeling when you hear the teldrassil music again. Makes me feel so excited!

  • @TheDudeLebowskee I'm glad I'm not the only one that's nostalgic about WoW zones. I love Stormwind, Westfall and the gnome starting areas... Cataclysm is going to be sooo sad for me, when they tear Azeroth apart. =(

  • i cant believe in catalysm they are going to destroy the lands and memories i once had here and azeroth

  • @Superrogue15 wtf i no right :((

  • @Superrogue15 but new ones will be made :D
