What does the text that appears at the end of the video mean - "tmcdq yzmfzq"? The Jedi mentioned it is a "hidden secret" though a bit too well hidden, to be honest. Am I too short sighted and these are just the initials of his supporters or there is more to it? I've tried looking them on google, read all the comments, even tried to connect it somehow with the outro song, but to no avail. Hope someone sees my comment and try to figure it out together :) Otherwise the video is, as all the others - amazing! This type of content, the one that Jediwarlock and another creator by the name of Verigan make, proves how many hearts and minds this game has won! Thank you! ❤

As a kid, I was unironically scared of Duskwood. I will only stare at it across the river from Elwynn and ponder, what monsters roam there.

1-25 as a human is peak gaming

I remember when I was a kid and started playing WoW I created a human warlock.
After leveling through Elwynn, Westfall and Redridge I was supposed to go to Duskwood.
I entered the area through Westfall, walked my way along the main road and then reached the first camp in the center of the map.
I saw a bunch of night watch soldiers ready to fight in the road. Looking towards where I came from.
My curiosity had me waiting and in the distance I saw Stitches appear.
Creeped the hell out of me, I tell you. I ran out of the zone and leveled to level 30 in Wetlands and Ashenvale xD.

It really shows the devs ran out of time when developing the higher leveling zones. The 1-30 zones are so much better as questing experience.

Honestly there is no better leveling experience then the human starting zones. Is absolutely perfect the story is incredible and it's fun

2:13 This is what I like most about early WoW. You aren't some prodigy or anticipated hero, you are a conscripted citizen charged with protecting the homeland. My biggest issue with the last 4-5 expansions was the game becoming too centered around the player. I liked the game when it highlighted the collective effort of a faction to tackles issues as opposed to a single player holding an insane amount of power.

The power of classic wow's writing was in its simplicity. Now in wow you are fighting a god level threat for a daily quest. The simple act of helping out a local struggling militia that is decently hard, with little spells and resources is a more satisfying experience than killing 8 dragons by pulling 20 and using 10 different cds. Classic wow is the best game ever created no doubt.

The Defias questline has lived rent free in my head for the better part of 20 years. The entire story of VanCleef, the Stonemasons, Katrana Prestor, it just immersed you into Stormwind in such a great way. What's fascinating to me about the Human starting zone is virtually all of it is fighting other Humans, with a scattered handful of others in it (aside from the Defias it's primarily Gnolls but also some Orcs in Redridge, some undead in Duskwood, Kobolds, and Murlocs). But the Defias make up the bulk of your enemies. You aren't being forged as a soldier to defend against the wrath of the New Horde, you're slaughtering bandits who could very well be your neighbors and family who have flocked to this charismatic craftsman cast aside by the Kingdom he was once sworn to. It's a low intensity civil war ravaging the outer areas of the Kingdom, all because of the machinations of an insidious political figure purposely trying to usurp power within the Kingdom for herself for her own dark agenda. It's great stuff you get bits at a time over the course of these zones plus questlines in later levels all the way up to level 60.

I am biased towards this little piece of Azeroth. I am not someone who came to WoW through WC3, so I wasn't at all familiar with Lordaeron or WC3's story when I first began playing. The Defias were my introduction to Warcraft Humans and Warcraft in general, but Humans are something you can get in virtually every flavor of fantasy. The Defias not quite as much. Their story as a whole is something really special and I believe they hold a special place in a lot of WoW player's hearts, myself definitely included.

Honestly, this sequence - plus the Missing Diplomat and the Onyxia raid - could've been an entire game in its own right.

The human and undead starting was so iconic. For the undead starting i remember just sitting in the brill inn and jamming to the soundtrack

I've made so many human alts at this point in my life and still every time I get the quest to go scout through Fargodeep Mine I say out loud to myself "I bet it's called the Fargodeep Mine because it far go deep" and I genuinely cannot ever not do it.

That Elwynn Forest music takes me right back. The gentle lapping of the water, the rustling of your backpack when you open it, the distinct sounds of the items when you place them in on your character. Those are the times I miss. I have been there 20 years ago and I know I can never truly go back. The game wasn't a theme park, there didn't have to be events on every corner. Instead you just adventured. We didn't need constant stimulation. Just being in that zone was magical.

Late to the party here, just wanted to add: leveling as an undead and blood elf back in the day was some of the most captivating experiences in gaming. I loved how begrudging and dark it was.

When first playing a human, the first encounter with murlocs is unforgettable.

My dad got his hands on WoW when I was about 2 years old. I’d just sit in his lap and watch the screen. At some point later also tried pushing some buttons, liking that it changes something on the screen, and other players would get offended that I’m “ignoring” their messages (I had no idea someone texted me and only recently learned to read at all, so my dad would have to explain that it was his very little daughter playing). At like 6 I’d create a human warrior and absolutely fall in love with all of these zones. I’m 22 now, DF was the only add-on I missed. Though I enjoy the recent stuff and still get easily lost in the world despite the fact how different it is now, these zones (and music!!), as they were in classic, have a special place in my heart. Recently logged in as one of my oldest human char and did the “lion’s heritage” quest line - it was so touching, especially to finish it as a char that was around for so many years. Probably no other fiction means as much to me as this specific part of WOW.

What I especially love about these four zones,is that it's clearly visible they were part of the same forest. Westfall was clearcut for farmlands,in Redridge the mountains start,but if you look,you can see that they were all one forest some time ago. And the stories somewhat intertwined,too.I just wished they were more connected.

I remember sneaking up to a chest on the riverbank and finding a silver bar inside. It seemed like a massive treasure I had stumbled onto. I was hooked!

The world building they put together in classic WoW is unbelievably good. So many cool little details make it feel like an actual world. Only in the Elder Scrolls games did I ever experience something like this.

0:18 I played Horde my entire life (been playing WoW for 18 years), but I decided to play Alliance on Classic Era when it got popular again a year ago - when I first got to this location my jaw dropped. I don't know exactly why but this location in Duswood has such a thick atmosphere. The small pond besides the monument and statues and the sort of hidden nature of it made me really appreciate that even after 18 years in Azeroth, I still haven't discovered everything.
