edit: had to make a weird youtube edit at 10:12 because of a false copyright claim. sorry for the jarring cut. i'm uploading the uncut to patreon now. support my eternal struggle to upload more than one video a year: barny64.com thank you for everything, truly.

The goat 🐐 coming back for the yearly dunk

I can finally stop talking to my therapist about this.

you know it's gonna be a good content season when barny finally comes back and the footage is 3 years old

That ending, almost brought me to tears. You’re not just a WoW storyteller, you’re THE storyteller! I missed vanilla and missed classic as well, but your videos make me feel like I was there, stunning work of art, and I thank you!

the "standing and hitting" joke to hit that emotional climax is peak cinema fucking kino

The video hasn't premiered yet but im ready for it to be 3 hours long, tackle cosmic questions of good and evil, move me to tears, and then be reuploaded to react channels 🥵🥵🥵

The beauty of this series is that I can play WoW vicariously and still maintain a semi-normal existence. Thank you Barny for sacrificing your sanity for us

Truly art of story telling. Probably many of us do not play this game anymore, but we are here for your talent.

It’s crazy to think Barny went into classic like any other nerd with no expectations and came out of it the greatest scarab lord and story teller of all time

Nymeria is such a gem

"if you haven't played through a world of warcraft prepatch in your time as a gamer, you've probably been spending you time wisely" killed me haha

Haven't played WoW since I was 16-17. Which was 17 years ago now... But I cherish these videos for how well done they are and the amount of poaitive nostalgia feelings they bring bubbling to the surface. Thank you!

The line “This time it wasn’t video if , it was VIDEO WHEN” is so on fire

congratulations on your magnum opus, your storytelling and antics have been thrilling over the last few years and it’s insane to me that I can’t fathom how deep some of these moments really run… it’s like you took every perfect memory and event in that timeframe and crafted it into a coherent story that entertained the masses. well done!

Thank you for your stories. Thank you for bringing to light the emotions I don't strive to fully comprehend myself. Classic, for all it was was one of the best things to happen to me in my life, and your work illustrates it perfectly. Thank you for always being you Barny. Thank you for bringing everything I feel to life.

Just like Jesus, Barny rises from the dead on Easter Sunday

This was really well done dude, didn't even realize it was an hour. Looking forward to A Tale of Two Glaives in two years time!

Great video and thank you for putting a music list of all the music you used in the description, some serious bangers in that list!

Thank you so much Barny. I love your videos and this one is no exception. I dont buy merch but i snagged a lucky charm just to commemorate this series. I will never forget your adventures, just as i will carry all my own classic adventures in my heart. GG

If this is an April fool's joke im gonna be sad because I've been looking forward to this so much

Watch it be a actual April fools day joke tho

Glad you finally finished this story of WoW Classic. Was a privilege playing with ya and the rest of Final Boss/Murmur before my eventual retirement of the game. The footage here and the events from the times of WoW Classic brought back memories of the fun times we had as a guild. Anyway have a good one. -Dethklok The Warlock

The ending choked me up, I connect so much with your values and method of storytelling. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Barny, this series has become something you should be incredibly proud of. Honestly, It's been my favorite thing in the past few years to watch on KZfaq. Well done. I know I speak for all of us when I say, for A Tale of Two Glaives, video when?

thank you for the shadow cow in oom oom meadows, it made my day

Tanks Barny for Bee'ing here. looking forward to your next adventure!

Thanks for bringing us all on your journey through classic! I can't wait to see the crazy hijinks you get up to through TBC and beyond! Keep being awesome!

listen barny, maddy, the ending of this proved fundamentally it isn't even about the WoW content.. it is about your storytelling and connection to the game... as a writer and cinephile, your narratives are exquisite and your editing and storytelling is equal in excellence. Never stop creating Maddy, you are phenomenal in what you do... .. . and I'm an American Anglophobe. OH THAT ENDING

the addition of find your flame at the end was fucking spectacular, what an incredible build up to a perfect flourish.

The LISA music really suprised me, but its always fun to see it being used, good vid barny

"World of Warcraft is best experienced vicariously through anyone else" 💯 🎯

Another amazing Barny Beekeeper video to add to the "re-watch every few months" club. Thanks Maddie.

The hearthstone card made me cry so hard. Congratulations! ❤

your series have been incredible. thank you for putting this together.

This was a perfect piece of Art. Thank you for creating this. It was insanely good

"Not video IF, Video WHEN" Gave me chills of happiness. Big ❤ Barney!

What a lovely love letter to the end of classic wow all the memories of classic and start of tbc came flooding back. Great video 🥲

That final part of you finding it to be absurd you telling a gaming story really hit hard man, you're amazing!

I am seriously considering your work as an excellent example of how the modern art can evolve. This is the only, mind me, the ONLY KZfaq video that made me experience the "soul-sftening" that you go through after consuming a piece of great art. The feeling that you get after finishing a great movie or a book? The one where you suddenly view the world in a much more sentimental way and go through emotions that you are blocking normally? That what I get after watching your work. Keep at it, Barny.

Congrats on becoming a top tier story teller. You knew you could do it and you did.

Just amazing! Your videos are perfection takes to back to the classic days on grob, missed those days

I don't think I've ever seen compression artifact scene transitions done this well, well done!

I am so glad we were able to go on this journey with you. Watching your skills and talents grow over the years has been a great experience. Keep doing you and keep telling your story, we will all be here to hear it

Holy crap, EVERY. SINGLE. VIDEO is a MASTERPIECE. All of your videos hit on such an emotional level. They’re clever, funny, creative, inspiring, everything. Never stop. You are a genius

im lost for words here, truly! The video is magical! It makes me reflect on my time spent in Classic. and my time spent on wow in general. and ofc its a Barny video that makes me do that! And i will keep watching your vids no matter what content it brings! Keep it up Beekeeper!

THIS BETTER NOT BE AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE CUS IM ACTUALLY SO EXCITED RN

That final clip of you foo fooing your own ability to tell stories years before becoming the greatest video game story teller to date is actual gold. Outstanding video as always ❤

I thoroughly love these videos! I appreciate how much time and skill you put into making them. I hope you make more in the coming months!

such quality in the editing XD amazing, plus the intro is amazing :D

Tbh Barny you are like platonic ideal of comedy for me and I'm thankful for any video

Ending with Your flame brought a tear to my eye. Not only do i replay that specific section of the song A LOT, but I also replay your videos A LOT. Love you Maddie, thanks for being you.

So, funny thing. I am Apocalypse the human warlock from , our raid on the horde cities was occurring at the same time, (but we had 160 people, so we actually killed all the horde leaders; rekt) and we saw Barny's raid. We where also the ones who informed the Dwarven Overlords you guys where coming. Maybe there where spies in your raid, but I'm pretty sure it was Chatoo who told the Dwarven Overlords GM about it.

Amazing video, amazing story. Thank you!

Maddie never fell off, she was just lurking in the shadows waiting for her moment to combo us. You seriously rule!

Not gonna lie, the Pokémon Colosseum music caught me off guard and sent me back a fucking MILLENIA! What a bop. Well done.

This made my week. So happy to see a video from you.

I can't understate just how much I enjoy these videos. It honestly feels like home. Watching these feels like reminiscing about all the good times in WoW while also watching a murder mystery. Truly amazing.

maddie, what an amazing video. we all have been waiting for this for a long time, and i can see it was totally worth it. i remember watching the streams of you editing this video long time ago, and i can exactly remember the crazy effort that went into making the shots of the intro, all the time and love you put in a minute long was enough to know how much of a banger this would be even if it took years. and now seeing the final product with all the new scenes, i can only imagine how long this took you. but we can all see the effort and talent you have. goshhh, the way you narrate, the way you tell the story... it's insane. you're the best entertainer, i'm so happy to see you achieving your dream. you make me see the fun in world of warcraft. your classic wow videos along with scarab lord went down as the best world of warcraft movie ever made, i'm sad the classic journey is over but i'm glad we still have so much content for the future. see you in 2027 and what is more iconic than dropping it on april fools day, you're a queen, a LEGEND thank you. thank you for the happiness and fun and all your fantastic work, we appreciate it a lot ❤

Well worth the fucking wait. After what must have been over a dozen rewatches of each classic video of hers. The quality hasn't dipped one bit. I got fucking chills towards the end. A master storyteller indeed.

Enjoyed the whole series so far. Keep going!

57:53 Best intro of Bronjahm I've ever seen.

I'm so glad it's not an April Fool's joke, but an actual video with insight on how the series came to life and what's next. Thank you Barny for making this, you rock

love the vids always got me coming back for more!

Incredible stuff barny. Keep up the fantastic work

How poetic that a legendary video titled "The End of Classic" would release not far from "Cataclysm Classic" arguably the end of Classic.

Man my WOTLK guild just broke up, we were together the entire expansion. Seeing the end of this video hits home, the end of an era. Holy shit 10/10 video

Earthbound music in the last 10 minutes just sent me over the edge of Nostalgia. Loved this

Hey there Mr. Barny, I wanted to let you know I just purchased a lucky charm! You're the whole reason I really got back into wow, and chose to play on Grobbulus and Horde 3 years ago during TBC prepatch. Because of you I've made some awesome friends and have really enjoyed playing classic wow. I hope that you are able to keep up the awesome content!

AND SHE STICKS THE LANDING!!!! Bravo. Absolutely wonderful. Suffice to say, your classic videos gripped me by the lucky charm and didn't let go, and I'm so glad we got a Final Boss of a video to tie it all up. Here's to another triumph from the trans titan herself! Oorah!

Featured in Hearthstone?! Thats heckin' SWEET BARNEY, CONGRATS! Much deserved.

Thank you for creating nostalgia for memories i don't even have :)

I cannot put into words how good this is, for me specifically. The whole video was great and fun and at the end I saw myself in you. I Love(d) Stories and for a few years now, being an adult, having to do adult things, the spark dulled but my god, did this wake me up. I need to create again, tell stories again. There was a reason I loved doing it and I need to find it again.

Hi barny. Sorry for the bothering. Im really glad that you made this video. I had a rough day. My friend died from cancer.....but your vids. I rewatched the scarablord again and watched this new one. It broght me laughter and tears. Thank you so much for making my day bright. Im forever grateful. I wish you the best. Your content and knowing that i can enjoy your content is my luck charm.

Was super awesome to game with you. From that first weird encounter in RFK to seeing that first glaive drop go to you. Grobb was a wild ride. - Carnage

Awesome video keep it up!! See you in a year!!

Ever since I've stumbled upon your's and UberDanger's WoW videos, I always liked to come back to them and watch them over every once in a while. This was a great watch as well!

Absolute masterpiece as always. Easily my favorite content creator across ALL games. IF I ever have kids, I will show them your journey. LMAO

So spooky, I actually rewatched all of this literally yesterday cause I felt like a good laugh. If this is an April fools I’m going to be so upset.

Thank you, for sharing the classic experience, so we don't have to do it first hand, its always a pleasure to watch your content

I love the use of Find your Flame at the end. Great video :)

ITS HAPPENING!

Yearly Barney video. Check. Can't wait until MoP classic when we get the tale of two glaives! But really this is absolutely fucking fantastic content!

Another amazing video, I'm going to re-watch the whole series brb

Thank you so much Barny! I love the advenutres of Barny Beekeeper! I wachted the other episodes many times always hopping for a new one and now I have hope for many more to come. Even if it´s only one a year and we will be done with Warth in like 2030 LOL

Whether in jest or in truth, our mistress has returned! Our lucky charm's held true!

'How do you even heal?' "HUH?!" fucking gold. Classic Barny. I love it.

I don’t have much to give but thanks a lot! For I rewatch your scarab lord series at least once every few months, keep it going

cant wait to see you next year Barney

Love your videos Barny, if I ever follow through on sharing my WoW ventures, know you're a huge inspiration 😁

Barny: I peaked Me half way through the video: Oh my god she uploaded another masterpiece! Edit: guys please, calm down. Maddie (the person behin the Barny Beekeeper character) is a girl

POGGERS

Is it just me or do i get kind off emotional from these videos. Its so well put together and hearing how he always wanted to be a storyteller is just so nice to hear, because this is an amazing story about an amazing game and you are making history for so many people! keep it up Barny we love to see more.

​God damn it @Barny64, just when I forget you come back and hook me back in! Like always, the video was awesome. Can't wait for the warglaive episode.

time for my brain to be occupied rent free for 18 hours before and after the drop

Bless the Barney and their charms. Bless the camping and rogueing of them. May her videos cleanse the world. May they keep the world (of warcraft) for their people.

ran my first aq40 today on Turtle WoW and it reminded me of your series! made the raid more intriguing

I'll always be here to like your videos as long as you keep making them.

1000% April fools joke and it drops on the second

i've known you since your league of legends days, since i was just a mere fifteen year old nobody. i'm still a nobody, but i'm glad that you're still here after all the trials and tribulations that this world puts into us. i'm tearing up while i'm typing this; you were my favorite youtuber, and still, to this day, you still are. you're not just a youtuber: you're a loremaster !!!!!! thank you, so much.
