Teldrassil Legion (Before the Storm) with music & ambience: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d71op66D287DkX0.html

Its 2004. Its friday. You just came home from school. You wonder whats for dinner. Dad is ordering pizza. You boot up WoW on your PC and you got nothing but time. The music starts. Adventure awaits. Life was good.

the older i get the more i realise how hard life is. seriously, wish i could turn back time when i played this game and everything was magic and fine..

"ishnu alah" "May the Stars guide you" "I am listening" "My goods are of the highest quality"

16:25 hearing this song as 14 year old for the first time while running around that island.. damn man. Take me back, take me back to a time before the money, the bullshit, the rush, the deadlines, the work, the expectations. Back to a time when my grandparents were still alive, back to when everything was just a-okay. This music brings back so many memories. Thank you for this.

Please invent a time-machine - port me back when I installed this game.

I listen to this every night at bedtime. I miss these days. It was like we lived inside this world. Beautiful place.

I am now officially 25 years old. I was only 10 or 11 when my older brother got us 2 separate accounts. I can't help but get emotional. Those were the days, weren't they?

im sorry, i have played many many many different mmos and NOTHING ever comes close to Teldrassil or the night elf territory. It is absolutely the most fantasy looking beautiful place ever. nobody has come close to making anything look and feel like this place does in any game.

I remember finally figuring my way off the island and realizing that was only a small part of the game

You never realize how much the music made an impact until you listen to it when you're older and can sit back and reminisce thinking about the old days. My first toon was a nelf Hunter and spent hours running around in tedrassil listening to the music

I started in vanilla, I am now in my 50s nothing I've played since has felt more like home that Teldrassil. I miss this place SO much! 😕

I close my eyes and I can see young me questing Teldrassil. You have brought great memories to an old Vanilla player.

Jesus christ what fucking nostlgia and memories. Had a sudden need and craving out of nowhere to hear this and listen; even fire up WoW and create a new NE character. God dam guys, its something amazing when you can scroll down thousands of comments and see all of us saying the exact same things; how bad we miss this fucking time in our life and first experience with this game/zone.

I will NEVER forget my first time logging into vanilla WoW with my night elf warrior. This music started playing. I had no idea how this zone would completely change the way I game and my life as a whole. Brilliant all around.

I remember creating my first character ever. A night elf rogue!

Это был июнь 2010 года, обновление 3.3.5, брат моего отца предложил мне пособирать травы в Элвинском лесу на своем аккаунте, и я бегал около двух часов собирая мироцвет. Живописные пейзажи, успокаивающая музыка, шум NPC -- все это создало приятную атмосферу. В скором времени и я решил присоединиться к этому сообществу, и вот я уже ночной эльф-друид 15 уровня делаю квесты в Вестфоле. Первая встреча со случайными для прохождения подземелья. Первая гильдия. Первый статик. Затем новое дополнение и я уже в роли рейд-лидера. Никаких забот, кроме школы, школьных друзей и этой потрясающей игры. Жаль, что превратился в деда, который стал говорить, что с каждым дополнением все хуже, но несмотря на это продолжил играть до конца MoP. В голове картинка, а в ушах музыка с этого видео. Ишну'ала.

When I die, I want to go to Teldrassil or Eversong Woods....

I wish I could be teleported into Teldrassil and live the rest of my life there.

6:58 I love this song. It reminds me of my cat who passed away not long after I started playing wow in 2006. I was already playing a night elf hunter, so I tamed a tabby-looking night stalker cat in Teldrassil, and he's lived on as my buddy ever since.

I just can't describe the feeling I get when I hear this but it is the same feeling I got when I first heard it. It takes me to a place not even of this earth, so peaceful. My heart seems to burst with good feeling.

Ive been going through a hard time recently and have fallen back into wow as my safe place. During a particularly bad day a couple days ago, on the tip screen that pops up, it said “if you ever find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not feel troubled, for you are home, in Azeroth.” It truly is my second home

I am so grateful I got to play vanilla back in the day and that my first character was a night elf rogue. I absolutely loved Teldrassil, the look of it, the music and ambience, I didnt want to leave and continue leveling somewhere else. The song at 1:18 is my favorite song in all of wow, I would always stop and listen because I was afraid of moving to far away and the music would change to something else.

My first character? A Night Elf priest named Aidan. Ahhhh....I miss her!

start playing on 2005 with my brother for almost 9 to 10 years .. always passing tedrassil just wanted to listen the musics,, kinda miss the old days when RAID with all my friends and had fun together. now i am 40 this year.. havent been play it but keep update the WOW game. my char is still there just want to have a look at them how i spent that time playing the game,,thank you

Ive taken lsd and meditated at 2 am in the pinch dark of my room & convinced myself i was a night elf. It was fantastic.

NE Druid, here. I met the love of my life playing this game, hearing this soundtrack. A thousand thanks for this.

Once in a great while , when I need to have some peace late at night....I will make a night elf just to level in this zone and listen to the music have a adult beverage and just remember the magic that got me hooked on this game.

I remember seeing first horde player on a pve server at darkshore, I shadowmelded and he laughed at me. Teldrassil was like an unreachable comfort zone and there was a vast world to discover beyond it. No other starting location resembled Teldrassil.

Same. Started in December of 2004, just a couple of weeks after release. My first roll was a Night Elf and this music here brings me back to that time period instantly. The game, my life, my relationship at the time. I'm 38 and I still can't let go of the nostalgia I feel for true vanilla. Best game ever.

FIrst character: Nightelf Hunter. I had no clue what kind of emotions and memories this game would create for me on that day.

That nostalgic feeling of leveling up a new night elf. As much as I try to go back and play again it is not the same. It makes me sad that those days have gone. But I will always keep the spirit alive by enjoying its music, cinematics, and I also collect WoW merchandise (clothes, action figures, etc) to always remember the best times of my youth. Videos like this always makes me happy.

SIGH. A night elf druid was my FIRST ever character and I remember longing in and hearing this music... exploring the tree... finding the branches and the edges... entering the Barrow Dens.... Ahhhhh. Please hurry WoW Classic! ❤

Ah, that beautiful music playing, and in the back ground, ever so faint, the shout of a low level Male Night Elf Rogue dying.

I will never forget the magic of exploring Teldrassil for the first time as a Druid, it feels like yesterday.. I so wish I could relive it all again..

First character, female night elf priest 😔 good ol’ days.

This music, ambience and environment are why I have played with so many Night Elf characters.

The feelings of nostalgia that this music gives me, breaks my heart and mends it at the same time.

this song helped me so much through my liver transplant. i had this on replay for like 2 weeks while i was barely conscious stuck in the hospital. now when i listen to it it has more meaning to me, and brings a small tear when i run back to the starter zones. to me, this is the best song in world of warcraft.

I've listened to this every night for like 2 years. I'm probably responsible for half of the views on this video. Lol. Love it. It's my favorite area on wow.

The moment I hear it... I feel like I have finally returned home after years of wandering in some wasted outlands... The memories... The old friends that I've lost to the time... My lovely alligator pet that every guide was labeling as a bad pet choice.... I miss it all... But Not even WoW Classic have a power to return those times even if the game is back.

This place & music makes me jealous as a Horde player. I'd sneak between the boats to here and Azuremyst Isle often, making friends with Ally starters while trying not to get killed lol

Dude, you just need to know that your videos are awesome and underrated. Perfect for work and studying, and well produced. THANKS!

Even though I first started in late Vanilla, and just got my character to level 45-ish and then stopped until end of TBC/start of Wrath -leveling in Teldrassil and Auberdine and getting my Whirlwind axe with the help of my fully geared raid tiered buddy (who managed to find time between farming to prep for raids 😂) was one of the most vivid and immersive gaming experiences I've ever experienced (and I was a gamer for almost 20-ish years). Night elf warrior was my first ever character, countless deaths while pulling multiple creeps, countless hours spent doing quests, farming and spending hard earned gold on putting enchants onto Uncommon gear 😂 Life was good yeah... it was good.

This was where I first started and did not a ANY clue about the game ...must have spent a few days wandering this area leveling and trying to do quests without ever buying or upgrading my spells lol getting my ass kicked over and over again until someone invited me to a group ...we did a few quests and split up again and I was back to getting my ass kicked ... until I grouped with a girl who showed me the score ... never looked back then :)

Listening to these songs make me also hear all the iconic sound effects that have appeared while exploring the island as a child for the first time. I can hear the noises of the imps in the starting area, the trampling of the big trees near dolanaar, the roars of the nightsabers, i can hear the night elf npcs talking to me when interacting with them 'ishnu-alah', the sound of opening the quest log, drawing the string of my bow as a hunter.... But most they're bringing back memories of a long time friend of mine, who was calmly explaining to me all the basic stuff of the game during my first two hours playing it. She was suffering from an illness for years and passed away in 2020 after an organ donation. I simply cannot describe how badly i would like to turn back time to experience everything again we did together back then. This musics helps me to do that in my mind's eye... Thank you very much for the upload.

I got more sense of accomplishment in wow than I did in real life.

Whoever had the idea to make the trees in this game so massive is a genius. you feel so immersed when playing

If i had one wish, i would be in the World of Warcraft itself. First Character Male Night Elf Hunter. This music pulls on the heartstrings. God i miss the memories. I wish it was still as popular as it was. I miss seeing people everywhere on it.

Night Elf druid was my first character.. I will never forget the feeling I had when I first created her and then logged in. The music, the world.. it was like I was living in there. Oh those times... its been so many years, I feel old!

I loved the good old World of Warcraft soo much, I miss the original.

This was my first sight in WoW in 2005... and start of MMO journey that still lasts :) Eh memories...

I still play off an on, but during vanilla bad tbc I played with my brother and fathers. While they no longer play, and we play other games as a family, I’ll always miss the magic of playing wow with them. Some of the best memories as a kid

I’ve never felt so much magic and enchantment in my life than playing through this zone.

i teared up listenting to this. Man this brought my whole childhood back... Good times man. its truly sad how far blizzard has falllen.

When I first started playing in Vanilla I first rolled a human warlock to run around with friends who were humans, dwarves, and one gnome. But my computer at the time was really crappy and I lagged like mad as soon as I got to Goldshire. I had to stop playing the warlock and decided to retry a night elf warrior since the elven lands were much less populated and therefore, much less laggy. The aesthetics and music of Teldrassil compared to the human lands was just breathtaking, and I never turned back. I rarely grouped with those friends until we hit max level but it was worth it just to adventure through those lands. I quit playing barely into BfA and have no intention of going back, but those early times were just magical. They will be missed.

I started playing right after the South Park episode in 2006 and my first toon was a night elf hunter. I was 45, it was still magical as I was figuring out the game. When I wasn't working or sleeping I was playing WoW. Thanks for the memories.

I'll always remember the first time I saw WoW. It was at a friend's house and he showed me his Night Elf Druid, and how it could turn into a cat and go into stealth mode. This was out in front of Darnassus and I remember being amazed by the giant Ancients stomping around the area. Great memories.

As soon as it plays, I get chills. Night elf druid is the best class, the best race. Been clean of Warcraft for a year, but might just revisit it on a new laptop....

This is the music of my teenage years. First race/class I ever made was a night elf hunter. I don't understand why but I vibe with night elves so much. Forever my love!

I'm 32 now, I started my first character - Night Elf Priest at 16. I still have that Priest. This music really unlocks a beautiful, peaceful place in my soul whenever I hear it, it's like nothing else could ever matter.

When I first set eyes on the great tree as a NE Rogue.. I knew I was seeing something so special. I will never forget my time in wow. I will never forget the countless memories those first few years gave me. I was a vanilla player and played off and on for 10 years or so. I have 5 friends I still talk to.. to this day we meet up every night in disc and play games or just chat. There will never be a game or a time in my life that was as incredible as original vanilla WOW. It was the greatest time ever.

Thank you for posting this. I started WoW just around the time TBC hit. NE Hunter to start as I generally play Ranger type characters in any kind of D&D or RPG setting. I remember running up and down Darkshore for hours as mounts weren't available yet until higher levels listening to this music. Very nostalgic and Blizzard just hit all the right notes with this game.

My very first character i made was a nelf druid. i used to play warcraft 3 with my friends, and then when wow was out, we all went and got it and logged in together, and i remember just how magical it looked and how real it felt!! gosh how i wish there was a time machine to take me back! X(

This tune reminds me of having an extended weekend out of school or holiday break and being excited to log into WoW for most of those hours. I would wake up early (or be up very late) with a blanket wrapped around my legs and a few snacks within arms reach, run around mining things, while waiting for PVP to pop off, work on achievements, professions, or create alts, and rushing to the restroom while on a flightpath or throwing something in the microwave, only to come back and read some other late-night or early morning guildies gossiping. What a time!!

Ahhh.. Back to 2006. My friend introduced wow to me and said that start with a night eöf hunter, it will suit you. I did, and here I am listening to these tunes during work days trying to chill.. Brings back great memories from the time I was studying and the world was a lot smaller, more peaceful and my life was just starting. Love it ❤

It was 2010 I had just gotten out of a long relationship I had my laptop which wasn't meant for gaming but I downloaded the wow trial then the full game. I upgraded my starter account and built a PC then my adventure started it was late cata I met some good friends had nothing but time on my hands besides work. I played through all of mists took a break in wod about half way through. came back towards the end played all of legion (first time seriously raiding found a good guild) played off and on in bfa stayed with them till they split up in shadowlands. Engaged now and helping raise a little one so don't really have time to play but I miss it theres some good memories tied to this game and music.

My first fond memories in WoW were me and my girlfriend playing as nelfs. We spent so much time together in Teldrassil. We then went ahead and completed all quests from all the alliance zones in Kalimdor, then did the same in Outland, so on and so forth. I am so happy to have shared these experiences with her. We have probably spent thousands of hours together in WoW. I'm so sad that now we don't have time to play due to studying and working at the same time. I hope I can retire from studying and at least enjoy a good 24+ hours of WoW each weekend together!

So, I didn't start playing WoW when all my friends were (I was joining the Army at the time) and wished I had the chance to experience Vanilla back in the day. Though, I started in the early phase of Wrath of the Lich King (late 2007) and I absolutely loved it. Years later, I played on Nostralius and truly got to enjoy the vanilla experience (with no paid services whatsoever). It was fucking hard as hell, but it was a truly amazing experience that I can't put words into. This song embodies that feeling, and I still feel nostalgia and love going back to play. Just need friends to enjoy the game with... The struggle continues.

Although the experiences are gone forever, the memories of these places will continue to exist in our hearts until the day we die

I remember my first night elf Hunter, leveling in teldrassil and darkshore. Then sailing to stormwind, after this returning, and listening this music, such feeling as i returned home

This holds a special place in my heart.

The first time I took the ship to wetland I was so excited...still remember feeding my pet to keep it happy and buying arrow....

This is the reason for me even playing the game as long as i did. If it wasnt for Teldrassil i would never have gave wow a chance. Glad i did it was great fun.

I can listen to this all day long.

I remember leveling my Night Elf warrior here, back during the Burning Crusade expansion. My favorite place to chill out and browse through the Auction House for deals. It's amazing how we still remember the little things in WOW that made the game so fun to play. Thanks for making the video.

We're all just continually looking for the next game to bring back that emotional paradigm shift we found when WoW exploded onto the scene. The true nostalgia comes and sober realisation that it was a point in our own lives which were themselves, far less complicated and stressful than the world we live in today. We then must ask ourselves, is it really a game we're looking for, or is it to be reimmursed into the magic and awe inspiring wonder we felt so long ago as we wandered through these now familiar scenes? It accompanied a 'first' for many of us, the first time we heard a guildmate yell 'HORDE' and that resulting adrenaline rush as we saw a legion of real world players avatars rising up over the brow of a hill. The knowledge that we were explorers in the first ever wave of gamers entering new and shiny MMO frontiers, pushing the boundaries of graphics and in game fight dynamics. It's not a "new" game we're on search of, it's to recapture that childlike wonder from a time when the real world hadn't all but obliterated our appreciation of magic. Feeeenix Night Elf - Forever "For The Alliance"! Signing off x

This is so incredibly beautiful. I remember being a middle schooler and seeing the commercials for WoW and the ads on all the flash game sites. I was so naive and yet I still downloaded the game and started my free 13 day trial during wotlk. I was enthralled with the night elves. I'd never seen a fantasy race like them before. I thought long and hard about what class to play. Didn't know anything about druids, but I knew that using nature to kill shit would be awesome. I loaded into the game and my jaw dropped instantly. I was so bewildered by Teldrassil. Nature everywhere; players everywhere. Mohawk grenades being thrown everywhere... I believe I met my first friend in Shadowglen: Starphoenix. I was just a dumb kid and all the prostitute nelfs were taboo to me. But Starphoenix was different. She was friendly and nice. She took me on an adventure. We ended up in Stormwind and I literally just set my character to follow her because I had no clue what was going on. We spent the day playing and ended up in Darkshore, fighting overleveled mobs and running away from threshers. After logging out, I saw her maybe once or twice after that. I focused on lvling at that point. I got to lvl 13 and then I ran out of time on my trial. I was so depressed. I wanted to play, but there was no way in hell that my mom would give me $15 a month for a game. I gave up. I never saw Starphoenix again. Cataclysm rolled around. Still a kid, couldn't pay for WoW... MoP is revealed and I got super excited. I BEGGED my mother. I PLEADED with her. She finally caved and let my buy the expansion when it was released. I logged into the game, remade Frostgnaw, the Night Elf Balance Druid and restarted my journey in Azeroth. I quested along, remembering most of the content. And then Darkshore hit me. I was confused and didn't recognize the area. Eh, probably just updated or something. Kept questing. Started working my way south of Lor'danel. I got to "The Ruins of Auberdine". Again, my jaw dropped. I finally realized what had happened. All the memories I had from Darkshore were here. Deathwing destroyed my childhood memories. I have yet to experience the original version of Darkshore. I am so incredibly excited for the rerelease of classic WoW. I want to see pre-cata Azeroth in all its glory. And Starphoenix, if you somehow see this, it's me, Frostgnaw. I hope to see you in Darkshore.

This bring me so many memories. It feels like home. Reminds me of the many adventures I had with my friends. Some of them still friends to this day. Wish I could back and install the game again for the first time. When everyone didn't have a guide and had to discover the world. When pvp videos with greenday music were the norm.

nostalgia is strong with this one...

I remember getting my box set November 2004 (should have bought 2). Start zone filled with all us new players that didn't know anything.

A comment section on KZfaq that makes me smile, how awesome. Love your videos and thank you to everyone for sharing all the memories, hits all the right feels thinking back. ✌🏼

This was always my favorite music in WoW. Likely because my first character back in Vanilla was a night elf, but even beyond that I would always do zones with this music. The only thing that's missing is the sounds of footsteps on the stone path between the starting area and Darnassus to complete the auditory experience.

We all remember our first dive into the greatest mmo that ever existed. The Friendships that were born from this game. It connected all of us. Regardless . This game is a testament on how video games bring people together.

Even though I had a very boring job back in '04 and '05, it was the thought of being able to play WoW again once I got home that got me through most days. Listening to the original WoW soundtrack on CD while thinking about the adventures that lay ahead for my fledgeling Night Elf Warrior made even the most mundane work more exciting. Over 17 years later, I have a much more fun job and WoW has long since lost its original shine, but we'll always have the memories of those magical days.

i remember falling off teldrassil, not knowing that there was a spirit healer in the village with the boat, and having to create a new character

My favourite track of the entire game. The nostalgia I feel of being 12 years old again, running around on my new night elf hunter..... Playing with my friends from school, sharing our adventures, and even making new friends in the process.... man, some of my fondest memories were made in this game and I can't wait to relive them in classic.

absolutely ridiculous amounts of nostalgia from this...

I remember on the free trial . I took a boat all the way to where the dwarfs live as a night elf. Just to get a double handed sword. The journey was incredible. Taking the train into gnome regan at that time was unlike anything I had experienced before . This game will always have a special place in my heart. This one . Warthunder and monster hunter

jesus christ...thank you for doing this. i still listen to all of these all the time, especially night elf territory music. such nostalgia. great memories! i cant believe it was so long ago

One of the happiest days of my life when I first logged into wow and found myself in Teldrassil. This was at the beginning of the burning crusade expansion. It was captivating, enchanting and magical. It also marked my return to gaming after a long spell.

When I was 15 years old in 2004, I first played WOW with Night elf. and I can never forget this background music because this BGM made me addicted in WOW. I shouldn't have played Night elf at first!

0:43 Ishnu-alah and my first wow character ever. Spent so many hours just hanging out with random people in this area before reaching lv 3. Will never forget that dude on a lv 60 mount that open traded me 1g when I made it to Darnassus. Man, what I’d give to have the same magical feeling from 2005.

My first WOW character in vanilla: night elf priest. Got killed several times in the spider cave. The good old time of exploring a world. I'll miss that ;)

Nightelf Druid, my first WoW character in 2005....still have and love her and even if I play Horde for many years now, I never got the feeling, than this starting zone had again. Sometimes I log in with my NE Druid and visit old places!

Ahhhh the Elves .... magnifficent place ! 😊

I started at an old age. 26ish. started in 2006. this is still the place i fly back to and just sit and remember when i had a brain. i have a form of cte that makes my reactions slow, my memory even shorter. at 54 this games still makes me forget about all my torubles.. love it and all the communities i have found along the way........ i record my vods and upload here so i will remember ....... thank you all

I remember hearing this and the bell from the stormwind ship as it docked

The most peaceful starting zone. This and Elwyn forest are my absolute favorite! Nostalgia truck overload! My first ever character was a Night Elf if I remember correctly.

Almost 5 days to go and we can go back! Cant wait.
