Thank you for the support my friend! No better way to enjoy this amongst Gamers and WoW fans like myself across the world! Let's prosper together.

Make WOW Great Again!

i was literally just thinking about that, I wanted to compare this to the Diablo Immortal

Imagine being the guy that bought those Vanilla WoW server blades and still having them to this day :P be like " I think i just became a millionaire" because I wouldn't give them back for free....

imagine being the guy that originally said " you think you want classic, but you really dont " then imagine having the same guy be the one to have to announce the release of classic .. lmao dudes a puppet

Why doesn't this have more likes?!

Ebola Chan Amen!!!!

As if they'd lost it since then.

Ebola Chan what realm is that?

WoW never took my virginity, lol!

So well? Fuck blizzard they are fucking retarded

same - I was like "No way" and then "please say Vanilla, say Vanilla" and rest...is well history :)

Jabikz I never played vanilla but I fell like I'm coming home to

Jabikz 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

well, as close to home as were going to get.

Jabikz and getting bored to death after 3 months

no, you can't go back in time its impossible

Best comment period.

you realize how much quality of life functions are missing from classic wow right? the game's attraction is hinged on the sweet scent of nostalgia which was thought to be forever lost in the memories, but all that interest dies the moment people realized you can access the most unbalanced, broken and painful wow experience in all its years. it is almost as though players have forgotten how imbalanced classes were, and how much time and effort it actually took to level.

That's what people said about runescape, you are wrong. Just wait.

Vegas Vanga you do know that nostalgia only last for about 2 months right, so you Are completeley wrong cuz most ppl Who Are playing on private servers have played for years myself included so it's not the nostalgia it's the sweet unpolished game and the players it's just a better community in general

Vegas Vanga n

+lan600000 Why does spending more time and effort in a game a bad thing? Some people don't like just playing end-game content all the time, and like more of a challenge.

thats amazing! i really hope to get to share these amazing creations to a kid of my own some day

enjoy it, every second, all night with your boy, nights for mens!

Thats incredible! In 04', i was three sitting on my dads lap drooling on his keyboard making a fuss eveytime he tries to play and i want his attention. Now im 17 and now more than ever, since i watched my dad play in 2004, i want to get that classic experience. I do enjoy the content today but i understand that for some, it wasnt the same. And i want to live that experience with my friends and my dad in OLD AZEROTH!!!😭😭

Education, truly

Vijay Harakh this is a late response but I watched my brother play and now I wanna play with him and experience what he experienced

They're practically patting themselves on the back for unclogging their own ears.

And after shutting down all community-owned vanilla WoW servers, so they could make more money.

YOU THINK YOU WANT IT....but you don't "Blizzard's Excuse for 10 years"

LMAO y'all should have just stopped playing like us OSRS players. Jagex gave us those old servers back real quick.

It wasnt this easy mate, they had to find and recover every data from 2004 , its not like they can rewamp the game with one click,

watungedoe never forget Nostalrius

it will take some time to launch this baby, so why not stay a little bit longer on privat realms..

There were private servers way before that played vanilla but whatever

90% of those, and still today, are just cashgrabs.

^^^^ and buggy as fuck to boot

Truest of al the comments

Tô de olho em vc seu safado.

So cold but so true

same here xD

Same!

Same cant wait stopped during wotlk

Same

i love these sorts of videos! too!

You mean cringe?

yes, just like beiber fans....

I love it too

Eric Ortega I just watched it a second time and I still got shivers

Same, chills down the spine and tears in my eyes... hyyyyyypee

i watch it everyday, because i have to be shure, that this wonder isnt a dream *again*

Eric Ortega I'm not even a wow player, barely played any of Blizzard's games, but this is just so good to see, I wish more companies would be like that... I cried a little

You are really not the only one....my eyes are still watery watching this.

Private server owners were crying tears of joy over the news. They will be happy to power down those servers once the official Blizz ones come online

Lol I'd easily trust private servers way more that they won't fuck up than Blizzard itself nowadays lol

People running private servers are like the mob or drug dealers selling things that are forbidden to them, now that its legal everyone benefits.

Like Giannis dunking on Curry

And now the private server runners will move on to more lucrative crime since they don't have people paying them for bootleg servers. Cocaine probably.

Twikkilol don't you guys have phones????

@@Solrex_the_Sun_King lol good one

I came here to say this.

The amount of nostalgia and emotion when this finally happens is going to be intense. Great comment, there will be plenty of those memories left! It's not the end, but it's the rebirth of memories!

I want Barrens chat with Chuck Norris jokes back. And Darkshore with the Nelf town still in one piece.

Agreed 100%.

yea. wow gave me the best gaming experience in my entire life.

backpeddling from orgrimmar to silithus with 30 people for no reason, classic

Hank Hill "Peg hun you got the book smarts you see... but not the street smarts, like i do"

As soon as he said Ice-cream I knew it was about flavors, hence vanilla. But that's also because I wanted it to be that, since I watched Blizzcon just to see if we got vanilla :D

i'm not even a native english speaker and i got it when he mentioned the flavors. lol dude. on another note, i think most people there knew that's it gonna be called (or refers to) WoW Vanilla beforehand, so it's kind of obvious then

The biggest controversy Blizzard faced back then was their handling of amateur-made 'WoW Vanilla' servers, which people enjoyed but Blizzard cracked down on. Not to mention, he was also the guy who said that people didn't actually wanted this first so for him to mention ice cream immediately connects the dots.

You just don't have that big of a brain man. It was seriously really obvious where he going with the ice cream talk just saying

Ghost3210 and I see all my friends dying.. and the guild is always screaming. And rotation is ever seeping in my brain..

Guild breaker

Nax was not vanilla...

Chris Bozenski hope this was a joke

nax was vanilla it was only remastered in wrath because so few players actually got to play naxxramas in classic

Yoooooooo, I totally forgot you could mark yourself "At War" with your own faction. LMAO

Exalted*

No, he's right, you can be "At War" with your own faction and if you killed enough guards, you would not be able to enter the cities. In other words, you could get exiled from the Undercity.

Xal noob

@@puckered6036 Vanilla was amazing compared to current retail.

@@puckered6036 this virgin.... get out of here kid, nobody cares about runescape.

Patricia GM Be my wife

ReSub Play Someone's got their game on 😂😂😂

yeah! the old sc orgrimmar anbient sounds really epic!

I can't wait to run in circles on the old bank rooftop again

Patricia GM The new Orgrimmar is actually a no problem to me, at all. It's well thought and designed, and it still does give me WoW vibes.

Beetle Juice same :(

Let's just all start in a new realm and form a guild and we'll have each other lol

Beetle Juice That's why WoW was a beatiful game up to WotLK; people were helping each other because there was a reason to.

Had no friends who played wow joined good guild and now I cannot wait to play with them. Just gotta search for good social guild

Same

That's a very unique experience that you will remember in one of the biggest events to hit us fans since I can't remember. Thank you for letting us relive this moment with you by commenting. I can't wait to stream the WoW Classic during the launch, and you enjoy World of Warcraft videos? Why not subscribe for more updates! Hope to see you around during the Launch! Any plans for going to BlizzCon next year?

Toby Gunn I know. I’m excited. 😂

yo, any coments 2years later ? do you still play classic ? do you enjoy it ?

@@crazylazyfaster6123 there are still queue times on the logging screen, so yeah people are enjoying it.

It truly was a blast. My fondest memories in my young adult life.

BC was actually pretty good. WOTLK was okay, but was not my favorite and not nearly as-bad-as MOP. Cata is where you missed out in my opinion. It was a truly fun experience leveling. WOD offered fun leveling, but that is about it. Legion is kind of junk. The artifact was a great idea and equalized some aspect of raiding - at least to me because I have the worst luck upgrading my weapons. The legion classes are super clunky and unpolished. I am looking forward to Classic, but having a sickly wife, two kids, AND starting a new career this year is going to make it difficult to level into 60. However, I will enjoy the slow grind and take my time with a big old fat smile!

@giveagoodsong the only bad thing that was bad about BC is the plot Ah, and druids were so hard to kill in PvP

Lol still comments every hour even though a year passed already since this video upload

Gotta respect him for being the one to deliver the release

M exactly. Intelligent people change their perspective when proven wrong and learn from it. Not saying he did but it seems that way, and it’s what I believe to be.

@@milkystars666 see, but he hasn't come out and said he changed his point of view. I think he just saw the profit that he could make and went for it.

@@jake212 true

I started Vanilla when I was 22, MIND BLOWN

Vanilla came out when I was 2 years old. This game spans many generations

You think you do but you don't.

Why does the title have the word "really" in it? Were there people saying it didn't get a positive reaction or something? Thanks

Well when Blizzard started shutting down those private servers, the people who wanted classic were cursing Blizzard's name and hoping they would go bankrupt. Then Blizzard caved to them.

@@LuckySmurf Blizzard does something they don't like, they react negatively. Blizzard does something they like they react positively. I'm shocked.

@@Sarkkoth You asked why people were toxic to the idea of classic servers. I gave you a possible reason.

and many will play both. everyone is happy.

@@sam-psonsmith9951 At the cost of splitting resources to support both versions.

Rengeez Strangely I remember my level 17 undead warlock and seeing a banshee from Warcraft 3. I’ve never seen the banshees from Warcraft 3 in wow again, and I don’t know what happened to them or where you can find them.

@@xel3783 the ghostlands, duskwood, eastern plaguelands, icecrown, literaly everywhere

i remember being a lvl 10 undead rogue and the first time seeing a banshee scared the F outta me

I only got my human warrior to 17 then stopped playing bc I died like 10 times In a row and I got pissed off of running back to my corpse (which was like a 4-5 minute walk). I am a modern day gamer I don't have an attention span capable of leveling In wow. But I'm planning on starting again and actually trying to powerlevel. I logged about 7 days of playtime on retail in 17 days so that just shows how much I no life when I play a game I really am enjoying I quit my job a couple months ago since I'm trying to enjoy my last year / summer in high school

Don't lie. No one likes a liar.

Would've been better if you were watching live at work, and THEN screaming at the top of your lungs.

Such a good comment! Totally agree

Exactly dude! God I miss my hunter so much. Have fun when you re-enter WoW-vanilla and greetings from Germany!

I highly doubt this Classic server will be truly "classic". Way to many useless specs, or specs no one will want in a raid, and that's not going to fly in today's version of mmo players.

I really don't think (hope) they're targeting the common casual mmo player with this announcement.

@@spencers4121 Aged poorly. RIP all the hybrids

3 million vanilla players, so about 50 servers will do.

aslong as i have 2-3k people on my classic server im good.

Then again i have grown used to between 5-10k as i have been playing on nost/elysium/lightshope..

@CalvinSomething vanilla number was 2500 per server i belive

Can't wait

Same here, but I think I joined late vanilla or very early BC. Born in '98 and I was 7 or 8 when I played. I was too young to know what xPacs were at the time. Plus by the time I got to 55 wrath was out and I made a DK, so it didn't really matter lol. I was an altaholic so I leveled veeery slow. I still remember doing Uldaman with loads of greys on because I always equipped gear based on how much armor it had. I did get my raptor though which felt good. Played every expansion since then except for BFA.

There is no way man. Considering the main point of vanilla is the leveling process itself.

"Someone once said that you can't go home again, but they lacked vision!"

Looking at how many people want changes, it looks like they really didn't...

CorrugatedLadder That word does not mean what you think it means. I don't give a shit, I just find the community funny.

Still think he said that to see how much people wanted it. It's a classic way of getting hype for something. But i am really sure vanilla is going to be cool for first few weeks then die. 1its not free like most vanilla servers 2 it's not scandalous anymore to be on an ilegal relm. 3 it's vanilla

its going to be really popular. it will not die anytime soon

Chef I'd love playing at a BC one

dude if they launch woltk legacy or progress it through vanilla.. fuck college

well, technically if they take the time to figure out what the community wants, they could make it happen. its all about getting subs

I would love Wrath again!

@@Sikdomeshot I have played since vanilla and Wrath is when I really felt like everyone was playing as a community. Maybe it was my personal development with the game at that point but there were some real friendships made and lots of guild fun had during that time.

Honestly I was okay with cataclysm as some of the zones did look cooler like thousand needles and so on, after the pandas came is when I tool a long hiatus

omg I installed WoW on dialup. It took 24 hours to do because the connection dropped out a lot. I had to wake up on the hour ever hour overnight to keep my dialup going. I got my first toon to 20 through blood sweat and tears before I got adsl.

Not really. Classic is based on current wow engine so we need modern pc.

Graphics are going to be seriously dumbed down so even a toster is going to be able to run it at some capacity

u think we didnt, but we did all the time

hehe

If it goes live perhaps 20% player base will jump there, and when they realise how UI and world was hard and limited, most of them will stop, and vanilla servers will be max 5% player base. People really think vanilla was best, but back then times were different. Also people like changes, thats why every new expansion brings big hype, since classic wow wont be updated people will get bored.

I give two s**** about how hard it is that's what I want I'm tired of leveling to max level in 4 days I want a challenge like that private server was that they shut down

i agree with ya there tbh. nostalgia is the only reason people want it.
