Thunder Bluff will forever be my home

The race Tauren is an anagram of Nature.

Mulgore was my childhood. When I first picked up WoW in Vanilla, I was too young to properly understand the entire concept of an MMO, and would just make new Tauren characters all the time so I could replay through this zone and relax.

Considering that the taurens are one of the biggest playable races, Mulgore still makes you feel small

The music theme of this zone is incredible...

Thunder Bluff is not only a peaceful city, it's also the most efficient layout. Reagent, trade, AH, bank, and food vendors along with a smelter, mailbox and even a pond to level fishing...all within such a small radius. It's a more efficient layout than IF and it's a much tighter area. If anyone plays on turtle wow, they implemented a pretty cool version of plains running. Great video!

Thunder Bluff was the one place I'd go just to just chill and enjoy the sounds of rain and relaxing tribal flute music. Being so high up in a tranquil village built on the buttes while fishing from the tiny pond made me feel disconnected from the troubles of Azeroth, as well as real life... (unrelated: I played a troll though)

The whole stretch from Tirisfal through Silverpine into Hillsbrad has always been my fave. It's the full range of gloomy and unsettling in Tirisfal through an uneasiness and foreboding into Silverpine which opens up into the settled yet conflicted Hillsbrad area. Favorite zone on Alliance side is and always has been Darkshire. It's got that wonderful Halloween / Zombie thriller vibe to it.

I love that the old zones are so empty. Sometimes you find a little treasure at a spot you did not expect. When you get of the pass you know that you go into the wilderness. Today there is a pass everywhere and there are so much places where is no direct shortcut, you have to fly to shorten things up.

Iron Forge/Stormwind is the best place to live, you can travel between them in minutes due to the tram and both are beautiful, safe, and clean

Grizzly Hills, Howling Fjord, Silverpine Forest, Redridge Mountains, Duskwood, WinterSpring.

Dun Morog Forever, the first zone where i start play WoW in 2005. In second place comes mulgore

I remember having picnics in mulgore with my WoW friends. Mulgore will forever be one of the most tranquil memories of my childhood.

For me, it’s the Barrens (classic version).

I used to park my Tauren Hunter "Joshy" over the cliffs of Thunder Bluff and just listen to the music back in 2005-2006. What a lifetime ago!

When I first started playing WoW many years ago (end of BC, right before Wrath launch) I picked a troll shaman (which I still play to this day) and ended up wandering across the Barrens and discovering Mulgore... I was still a little low lvl for the Barrens, and honestly such a newb to these games that I didn't know much about quest lvl zones anyway, so I just went in and did all of the starter quests there as a slightly over-leveled troll. I loved the zone so much and it's still very nostalgic for me. I feel the same way about the night elf starting zone and Darkshore, too, as early into my playing I made a nelf on another realm when my own realm went down for a bit. But aside from that nostalgia I think I like the human starter zone/s the best of the alliance areas, for all of the combined story and simplicity of the quests.

Mulgore was my first zone and remains my favourite zone. It just has such a unique feeling to it, the quests aren't even that interesting but i could live there lmao

Leveling through Mulgore as a Tauren Shaman is a perfect experience, just like Teldrassil as a Night Elf Druid or Elwynn Forest as a Human Paladin. It feels perfect and immersive... Mulgore is so closed off as a zone, moreso than any other starting zone in my opinion. I never played Horde beyond level 10 back in the day and the ONE horde race I tried was Tauren. Later on I made the journey as a low level Night Elf all the way to Mulgore just to hang out there while home sick from school.

Mulgore isn't really a "chill zone" if you played solo in vanilla, maybe if you just sat in Bloodhoof Village fishing. The mob density and respawn rates in certain areas like the gnoll encampments, dwarf area and the venture co. mine could easily result in frustrating deaths, and even clearing those areas with a group could be tense. It really gives you that sense of being a native struggling to fight back against races that encroach on your land with superior numbers and firepower.

The older i get, the more i want a proper housing system in WoW. You could choose where to build your home (Mulgore for me), gather materials, decorate everything, farm stuff. Like ESO has but without the macrotransactions. I know people have a cold feet since Draenor and Blizz greed but still...

Man, I miss this game.

Nothing will ever be close with Eversong Woods... it was something else.

Mulgore is great, but Eversong Woods is my home

I'm a Tauren Shaman, from old school Azeroth, rolled in 2004, champion of Mulgore, chat champion of the barrens, Mankrik's #1, adventurer of 1k needles, hero of zul'farrak, wearer of deathchill armor, vanquisher or eranikus, bequeathed with the zandalarian hero charm, master of windfury, bearer of Lok'amir il Romathis, YOU SHALL BOW BEFORE ME

0:42 good old mangos 1.12 visual bug with the Bloodhoof Village wind mill floating without it's base until you get closer 😉

Blizzard basically ruined every starting zone by turning them into warzones for all the 13 year old CoD kiddies high on energy drinks who think that RGB makes PCs faster.

Elwynn Forest is my choice for sure ♥

As alliance, Mulgore was always "that horde place I need to explore just for the achievement". But I fell in LOVE with the northern part of the zone, where the place ends with some tranquil slopes and some plainstriders hanging around. If I'm close, I always stop there and emote /sleep and just lay there lol.

Mulglore is such a beautiful, relaxing and soothing land...

I enjoyed Mulgore very much on my druid and hunter, both Tauren. The music is very nice, and the openness is also enjoyable.

I love mulgore

Blizzard should update their maps again and give us a post-cata, post-conflict era. Something peaceful like classic maps but with the consequences of the cataclysm, just inactive. No more wild tornadoes destroying everything, no more wild fire. It feels stupid to fly around those areas and feel like you didn't do anything while questing there because everything is still on fire.

desperately wish for a graphical overhaul of mulgore (or the old world in general). it'd look unimaginably beautiful

The issue with mulgor is that many of the quests requires you to find and hold items. Much more than say Tirisfal or Durator. Given the lack of bags early game, it can get really annoying

I survived Barrens Chat XD

yeah Mulgore is something.i really like this place

like many others Tauren Warrior was my first class and was the best introduction to the game imo (i didn't survive barrens and rerolled Undead Rogue)

For me, Mulgore, OG barrens, Storm Peaks, and Dragonblight left me feelin small

Alliance player here mainly. But my two favorite zones in the game are Mulgore and Dun Morogh. When I first tried the wow Beta out, I was playing around with a Tauren Druid, and the atmosphere was just great

Tirisfal for me, especially the Undercity. I’ve always loved the aesthetic of it and is my favorite capital city by far

Mulgore was my very first experience with WoW when I was around 7-8. I remember punching plainstriders for money/xp when my armor and weapons broke bc I didn't realize I could repair them LOL. I will always love this zone the most

Mulgore, home of the magnificent, fantastic, superb yet humble Tauren

The music in the zone omg

Omg Mulgore mentionned Definitely my favorite Classic zone, best capital of all time, absolute vibes, intense childhood memories as Taurens were my first Horde race I just love everything about it. The only other places to have a "tauren theme" are Stonetalon moutains but they're quite underwhelming, and High Moutain in Legion, the quests were good but it lacks something, and it's not as evergreen as classic zones

This zone alone is as big as most new expansion zones. The biggest issue with WoW is we never see the scale that Vanilla brought. It brought a huge lived in world. New expansions bring in a few zones and then you're expected to play with that for like a year or two. We need a vanilla level endeavor again. I know cata kinda did that. But it was just reusing the assets and expanding on what was made already. Vanilla everything was new and used with purpose. It didn't all have to feel connected to one narrative. The world itself was the narrative. Exploration, new experiences, leveling and living and journeying. Now it's go after one big bad after the other.

I always played a night elf druid, and I decided once to venture into horde territory while still a lower level, and ended up in mulgore, I loved everything about it and ended up going back so many times after that.

I only play horde but i still think teldrassil /shadowglen/darnassus are the best zones ever made

There are many chill zones in classic/vanilla. Cataclysm ruined most of the world by shoving constant action and stimulation in your face.

Mulgore cannot be topped. To me, it feels real.

Played a Tauren warrior from day 1 of launch named Darkhorn. Still my main. LOVED Mulgore

Thunder Bluff: The smell of 'ish wafting through the air.

"BuT iT IS sO eMtY!121!!" some people would say about mulgore but I say it is realistic! I also love mulgore! We have many areas in WoW that feel big BUT I want it even bigger so we have bigger villages, more villages and bigger cities and this toy that shrinks you in mouse size could help there. The world stays as big as it is but everything else gets smaller so the whole world feels bigger. I kinda would love to test it on p-servers but have not enough space right now on my pc.

When i started playing in bc, my first char was a tauren druid. The feeling and music of the zone was fantastic, i spend many hours talking to npc's thinking they were players there. After that i went alliance and made a nelf, loved the forest but just wasn't it. My main has been a worgen since cata, but taurens and their home will always be special for me. and agree, the zone doesn't feel the same since cata, i recently made a tauren again just for the zone and noticed it as well..

My first character in WoW was a Tauren, it was BC, but that pretty much the same as classic. It reminded me of Star Wars Galaxies, which I had just came from. Where there were basically empty planets of big open areas, a couple hills and maybe a tree or two spread out and groups of enemies. I thought this was normal MMO design.

i think a big thing with the feeling of the huge world in wow is that you cant see to far in the distance and you have to walk there to see whats coming. in tarisland you spawn and literally can see the whole zone and more without making on footstept. makes it seem fake and plastic

4:31 Epic mount unlockable at level 40... suuuuure, maybe for GenZ 🙂

My first characters were an undead warlock and tauren druid. There was no better time playing wow than the beginning when you are still a huge noob. I wish i could reexperience it new all over again.

One of those caves with the Venture Co. is so huge it probably could have been a dungeon

One of my first characters was a Tauren. The music, the scenery was pretty nice.

It's one of my favorites zones too, I love levelling there

Mulgore definitely has the coziest vibe of probably any area in the entire game. But I only ever made one tauren in my entire life and I didn't even get that far with him, so that would probably make Mulgore my least visited area in the game too.

for me it's always Ashenvale

Dwarf and Tauren are master race

yep was a tauren main good times back then

if i had to live in one zone, elwynn forest

bury my heart at Thunder Bluff

My first ever char was a tauren Shaman in BC. It was super cool! Also, I think if you made a video about azuremyst isle, it would be really good. My second char was a dranei hunter, and I'll always love azuremyst isle for that reason

"Look at Lucifwond"

this makes me want to play again but sadly i will start and realize i done all this quest over 100 times sadly its not a new adventure for me but the experience will always be in my hearth

My first character was a tauren in mulgore way back in vanilla wow, i wanted the largest race and back then there wasn't even that many to choose from.

Yes this area are fantastic.

Mulgore is a really nice zone to play through, too bad there's not much happening in it, hopefully that'll change if we ever get a revamp of central Kalimdor, I want it bigger, more impressive, and wilder.

Eversong 💛🧡❤️

I miss leveling my Tauren Warrior from back in the day..

Those zebra hooves though..... :)))))

It is DuskWood for me.

4:49 what's so goofy? Worgen have their own running. And given the Tauren are nomads it makes sense.

I love Dalaran!

Yeah.. My first player Tauren Shaman

I would live in Teldrassil 😍

I like Mulgore, but I don't find it _particularly_ interesting. My ranking of vanilla starting zones from best to worst: 1. Tirisfal Glades 2. Teldrassil 3. Mulgore 4. Elwyn Forest 5. Dun Morogh 6. Durotar So ye, Mulgore is a strong middle for me.

Grizzly hills lochmodan and dun morogh.

You stealing videos again?

i would live in acherus mostly for the munting opportunities

I've always played alliance but when I do cross to Horde it's always Tauren I choose, I love Thunder Bluff

I would choose Dolanaar

epic mounts was lvl 60 in vanilla

Are the Tauren native to Mulgore or did they settle it?

eMulgere is Latin for “milking out”.

Vanilla wow had day and night cycles?

Tauren supremacy

remember everyone hates spergmongold

Love this vid!

i always thought mulgore was inspired from taurus mountains, not americas

We just destroyed TB last night on cata classic! B I G P P V P!!!!

I hate the majority of post-Cata zones, they lost all their comfy atmosphere by added chasms and fires and random shit everywhere, that sits here to this day.

fresh when?

Did you really call mesa “misa “?

Oribos

Kharanos is my home
