- No city better demonstrates human determination than Stormwind. Destroyed during the Horde’s initial invasion of Azeroth, Stormwind was painstakingly reconstructed by the Stonemasons’ Guild after the Second War. Parts of the city were razed again when Deathwing, the corrupted black Dragon Aspect, brutally attacked Stormwind, but the other undamaged districts are more beautiful than ever thanks to their hardworking inhabitants. From the magnificent Cathedral of Light, which serves as a major spiritual hub, to the awe-inspiring Valley of Heroes, which commemorates the sacrifices of Stormwind’s loyal champions, the city truly represents the courageous heart of humanity.

I will never forget the feeling of entering SW for the first time
Me either, shortly after entering, my group killed the King :-) I got my black war bear mount that day. For the Horde!
No one will
@@jernbek1 U never had this feeling that's sad
@@tarkaarbre5784 being alliance is sad. Humans are the most boring race you can choose in the game.
@@jernbek1 Elwyn forest is sad ? And there isnt only humans
After watching the game over my shoulder when I was a kid, my mom started playing WoW too. She wasnt into all of the endcontet stuff and instead loved to roam around with her warrior and discover stuff. She always told me that she likes the Stormwind theme the most. She lost her fight to cancer a few days ago and coming here to listen to this is so painfull and yet pleasing at the same time.
Farewell!
😔accept my condolences
Litterly the same thing with my dad except he had a lot of maxed level characters
I'm so sorry for your loss. My condolences.
sorry to hear this. shes in a better place. fth
My condolences 💐 May her memory be Eternal ❤️
5:00 are we gonna gloss over that Dwarf that straight up committed suicide in the canals?
Geez, so judgemental, he's just getting his monthly bath. :)
"Doodly-do, don't mind me~ Just crossin' the street~ Ohhh, look at that zebra... ARGHHHHHHH!"
its me irl
he got out of the water at the stairs 5:30 jajajaja
Doesn't he know there is a giant crocolisk down there!?
When I was a boy, Alliance walls and towers used to make me feel so safe.
I have to say, it still does, almost 18 years later!
@@11123fsd Yes!
As a vanilla player, Bolvar always made me feel safe.
haha skyrim reference
Just not on pirate servers, when a horde could burst into the city and destroy absolutely everyone)
Entering the city for the 1st time as a human paladin : "Yes this is home"
Same feeling entering darnassus for the first time on my little night elf rogue. I loved that moment,but going into stormwind was a blast mainly due how different they both were. Two different cultures it was something to behold.
17:28 this part on Stormwind 7 will always give me chills.
facts
YESSSSSS BRO!!!
@pillowdo let me know if you've seen any please

I tried to work listening to the music, but then memories and nostalgic feelings took over. Indeed, wonderful times they were. This world is so much more than just a game. Blizzard managed to create something that stays in your heart forever.
17:30 to 17:55 is goosebumps for me
czcams.com/video/QYidb1LvMs8/video.html
it always did for me too
yess!! that part makes my head tingly xD
Every time!
That s what I was looking for!!!
8 years ago 2012 I played this game for the first time, I was leveling and doing quests, unlike many other players whose first time going to stormwind was by flight, I walked into this city and was amazed by how beautiful it was.
Yeah, humans get the best experience walking into the city from elwyn
facts as hell. Thats how i felt first time going there.
Because of this I set up a rule for myself - explore new territories using only a ground transport. Always such an immersive experience.
I sometimes feel WoW is like a lost civilisation. All that's left now are ruins, but we still hold the memories of a golden age of heroes and mythical adventures. We can never go back to those days, but those days will never leave us.
Same dude, it's a bit sad when I listen to the music.
@Deep i just hope u haven't started on bfa xd
@@muntean96 he did, he just said it.
I play since WOTLK and I still like it tbh, it evolved a lot since then but It still has its merits
Problem is Activision trying to pull more and more money from it using mercenary tatics, pisses me off.
Heroes never die, they'll save the world again come Oct 27. Pick up your weapon
I will never forget my first time walking into Stormwind as a low level human in vanilla. Stumbled upon it by mistake, not understanding what a 'major city' was, the beautiful big music playing. I must have just walked around for hours exploring the in's and out's. Admiring all of the level 60s in their armor and mounts, which I figured I would never get. Sigh, good times.
For me it was an interesting experience as well. I’m a fully blind player, and they recently gave us a mod to navigate into quests and what not. So we can enjoy the game just as much as you guys. When I stumbled around into the city, just hearing the music, the people, the noises and everything else that came with it was just astounding. I could only imagine what it looked like, but the music gave me something completely new. I imagine it to be a majestic city just brimming with people. Still leveling up, as a level 11 warrior 😂
18:13 always hits the feels. Varian was THE King and we'll never be the same without him.
That's anduin theme
18:13 listening to it and reading the npc dialogue is amazingly peaceful
They are not npc but roleplayers haha
@@tiberseptim4674 lol that's hilarious! haven't played in a while.
@@shannyshann5858 At least your commentary sounds like a compliment to those 2 roleplayers :p
@@tiberseptim4674 Night Elf definitely confirmed spy!
If you learn orcish you can insult an orc in their native language
Playing this game while in the throes of depression and anxiety in my mid-20s has left an indelible mark on my brain. I haven't played in years, I'm much better mentally than I was, but the feeling of taking a Vanilla character into Stormwind or Ironforge for the first time and exploring is just unlike any other gaming experience I've ever had. It really was something altogether incredible and this music takes me right back.
I'm glad to know you're doing better now. When I played it, I was about 15, which of course was a pretty tumultuous time of life. I do sometimes miss it, especially since I'd now have some friends to play with, but I just can't seem to bring myself to actually go through with it again, cause of how weird and difficult everything was at that time. This music is a bit refreshing, as distant as it might seem now.
Started playing WOW on Beta way back in 2004. After starting out at Northshire Valley and then levelling in the rest of Elwyn Forest under all those green trees, to finally come to this amazing city, it was a moment to remember. I used to take so many screenshot in front of those huge statues at the bridge.
4:18 absolute chills
I miss this game but it is actually too addictive.
come back brother. for the alliance.
So many memories in Stormwind. Absolutely incredible! ⚔⚔🛡🛡💙💙 FOR THE ALLIANCE!
It's 2005. I just got back from my tour in Iraq. Entered SW for the first time. Been hooked to this game ever since!
King’s honor, friend
You was a soldier?
39:04 - 40:14 is my favourite and nostalgic moment, I wanna be younger and be able to play wow. It's not only a game, it's our childhood
This a good way to get my WoW fix without actually going back to the game.
Thank you for this.
Or get hooked back in…
I feel at home 🦁💛💙
tellement vrai
Yeah~
I (Undead) will burn it down. HUARHUAR
Lol
This music takes me back to 2018. When I play WoW on my big brother's computer. I was just walking around the Azeroth. Then I didn't know how to play this game and just enjoyed the beautiful of this world. Thanks to my brother. Without him I would never have known about Warcraft.
walking into this city for the first time is life changing
25:00 For the alliance 2
Andrés Briceño it almost feels like lord of the rings
Absolute masterpiece !!
Jeremy Soule feelings
That first bit right at the start. The moment you pass through the gates on foot, mount or riding the winds. Seeing the great heros of old watching over you as you carry on the legacy of greatness is what made coming to this city feel so good.
As a horde player I still remember the first time I entered stormwind YEARS ago with a raid to kill Varian and 1:38 will forever be burned in my mind. Heck, I can’t remember the first time I entered orgrimmar.
when i am in Stormwind and 1:34 starts, i just stand still and listen. Chills every time
Oh Pizza day!!!
@@elijahmoon21able now i can't unhear it
I did not play wow until 2020 when Covid hit. Lots of fun memories playing with my brother and his girlfriend every night until we level up all the way until level 110 and we are not sure of what to do and where to level up anymore… it was a good time of 4-6 months of playing wow every night. Now they have kid and I have a wife. My mom also passed away 2 years ago. I miss old times I do I really do.
I clear as day remember when I first walked over the bridge, past the statues and into the city accompanied by that first song. More so, I remember the countless hours spent roleplaying in "The Pig n' Whistle" in Old Town. There has been 100s of games after WoW for me, but nothing - n o t h i n g - compares to it to this day. The comraderie, the adventures. I was a grown up when WoW released, and I am even more grown up now, but not a day goes by that I do not miss this game. At the same time, I know going back and start playing again would be pointless. So here I sit, an old man, reminiscing past times and listening to the music that accompanied my adventures for years.
I both hate and love you for these.
I had finally had enough with the crap that I quit WoW. ...then I hear the music from one of my favorite cities and I suddenly miss it. ....not enough to come back but enough to make me think about it. Lol
There is a vanilla wow on a horizon,man;)
Classic WoW is a blast, been playing since launch and I am really enjoying it!
You can always make a Demo Character. I like Warcraft as a universe, but dislike WoW.
So, whenever I feel like just visiting Azeroth, I make (the 30th) Alliance Demo Character and go to Goldshire or Stormwind City.
MstrAdos hey shadowlands is looking good maybe consider coming back?
@@lolosh99 Not to ruin someone's fun, but maybe they should wait until its out. I remember when people were saying that BfA is looking good before it released and...well...you know.
Such nostalgia coming out of sheer music and ambience that i just cannot explain, i'm sure that every wow player ever just feels chills running down the spine when they hear something like this, and i actually can't fall asleep easily, so i just put one of theese vids, and listen, remember the good ol' times when i had time to enjoy wow with my friends, all the leveling, gearing, battlegrounds, arena rank pushes, all the good and fun times i've had while enjoying the game and the nostalgia overwhelms me while colliding with happines from the good ol' times and i just fall asleep with such ease, no stress, no work, there's just nothing, only relaxation when i just shut up and listen to the music and ambience from this incredible game which i'm sure brought happines to all of us who have played it. I just can't forget the times when i had no stress, no work, no reason to worry about anything in the whole wide world, and what would i give that i could go back 10-11 years back in time to enjoy this whole experience from the begening, thank's for posting all of these "music and ambience" videos, it really brings back good memories.
Post Scriptum excuse me for bad spelling, ain't my main language, and have a great time playing this amazing game or purely listening to this music!
My first WoW experience was with the free trial version. I made a human warlock and explored the heck out of Elwyn forest. The soundtrack there still hits a special note in my heart.
Coming to Stormwind was fascinating since I soon tried to find the warlock teacher. I was blown away how cool it was to have the entrance to your shunned sanctum hidden behind a veil in a store, going down a long stairway getting ever darker to end in a torchlit catacomb deep underground with your fellow acolytes.
*Highlord Bolvar!*
*Thank the Light!*
*For Lordaeron!*
*For the Alliance!*
17:20 I can’t remember a time where I didn’t hum to this part once in my whole WoW career
monkaS
At 0:02 sec I started crying. Such good memories.
Im forever Horde, but Stormwind has a special place in my heart.
Human Mage as first WoW character. One of my most memorable gaming experiences. Literally cost me one year of my university study.
FOR THE GLORY OF STORMWIND!
HUMANITY WILL RISE AGAIN
No matter how shite the game gets, or how bad Blizzard fall and fall.
Nothing will make that Stormwind music not put my hairs on end.
truly a masterpiece of a song.
Growing up on this game has engraved all of Stormwind, new and old into my head.
The first time I enter in SW was to kill Varian. I was at Orgrimmar and some ppl started to organize a raid for the achievement "FOR THE HORDE". It was epic, like 60 or 80 Horde Players, all with the flying mounts together. We flight to the montains near SW until everybody could arrive, and them everybody rushed to Varian and it was a complete caos, since there was a lot of ally players trying to stop us. After we finish him, we went to the other capitals and we complete the achievement. WPVP is one of the best parts of WOW. What a night. What a game.
So i walk in SW for the first time as a low lvl pally at the start of TBC and i see this retri palla on his charger almost full marshal with the claymore enchanted with mongoose maan ill never forget the feeling i said i wanna make my pally like this! later i rerolled warrior and dedicated the rest of my many wow days (and nights) playing that class never looking bk to my days as a pally but i will always remember this feeling of excitement i felt the 1st time i walked in the capital. Other than that this music... what can one say countless nights countless adventures good or bad this music was there to comfort you in victory or defeat in the end of the day. Wow as we knew it is gone but its spirit lives through these musical pieces hear it my brothers of the sword! thank you Everness!
That's the best soundtrack on any game ever. Thank you for bringing me this!
10 years ago, I spent lots of sleeping nights while listening to this in Stormwind. Happy times that we cannot go back. I miss my hometown ;(
don't we all. Listen to this everyday even though Im to busy to play the game right now
@@wentaoguan I feel this. Haven't played in years and I know we can't recapture playing it for the first time, but people who never played just cannot understand.
Thank you for this! I was surprised to find songs I hadn't heard, or at least that I remembered hearing. "Canticle of Sacrifice A
" (19:32) is really lovely. I heard D only recently and stayed to listen. It's nice to see the titles, thanks for that too. Superb, as always! ♥.
FOR THE ALIANCE !!! Этот оркестр, дирижер и композитор все эти люди - они сотворили непередаваемое ощущение МОЩИ в груди ! Музыка и хор - дают невообразимые ощущения отваги и решительности !!! ЗА ЛОРДЕРОН !!! ЗА АЛЬЯНС !!!
За могучих Людей, за Лордерон! 💪🏻
I've been a Draenei paladin for a long time, and every time I visit Stormwind I enjoy every single second of it
The entire track is great but my favorite parts are...
6:40-7:35
18:15-19:03
19:03-23:39
27:41-29:40 (The best part, imo)
36:23-37:25
37:25-39:00
40:50-42:50
best parts definitely
00:00 is the best part
No 3:10 - 4:04
Makes your entire list invalid
@@elijahmoon21able actually, music is subjective. An plus, I said " _my_ favorite parts"
No one talking about 7:40 ?
Another masterpiece.
King's honor.
that second note hits differently!
stopped playing this game years ago, but still listen to the music sometimes, it feels every time like coming home, great memories with great people, I will never forget the first time I entered stormwind
the memories come flooding back when i hear the stormwind theme
I love these. im active right now, but the feels of stormwind music will always be linked to the first walkthrough. nostalgia hits everytime
My god this game back in 04 was like any other gaming experience I have ever had in my life still tops to this day. This game I think is the most important game in gaming history. Sad to see what it has become.
Sad as it is, I’m glad Stormwind is so empty sometimes. It’s nice to just cruise around and admire the city while waiting for dungeons or raids. Getting to sit down and relax anywhere you want without constant chatter and people all around. I’ll never forget when they changed to the destroyed area or added in the little cemetery with benches and a gazebo.
the anduin part is amazing 18:15
A nice city, wish I could visit for real. Fills me with pride that my human paladin is proudly wearing the lion embossed elite 7th Legion plate armor and tabard. 🦁 Also the replica Lion's Fang/Heart transmogs and the Stormwind cape from Blizzcon '17.
Elwynn Forest and Goldshire in and then BOOOOOOM SW. What a journey
17:33
Thank me later.
omg thank you i was going to transcribe it for guitar and didnt know what it was called.
that was precisely what I was looking for in this whole video tbh :'D
Thank you
*Four cheese and eggs*
Home
Eternal glory to the Alliance ! 🦁🦁🦁
Finally - thank you!!!
Good work on your videos dude keep it up for the alliance
Nightelf Hunter, started in Teldrasil, innocent and lost, had no idea the impact this game will have on me.
At lvl 10, i couldn't belive i was able to get a pet, gray tiger i chose, whom i kept for years afterwards. Then my real life friends, who were humans, invited me to go to a really cool city they said, many players with high lvl and amazing swords, so i took a ship, traveled there and entered the city, can't even begin to describe the slightest glimpse of the feelings i had when i first entered stormwind and heard the epic life changing music. From that milestone in my life, everything changed and i immersed myself in the world.
I was 14 years old back then, now im 29 and the feelings are still there in my heart, in an unchangable spot.
18:13 Even as Horde Player so sick damn best Moment :D
anduin's theme is so amazingly moving holy shit
Thank you for all your videos. I'm not going back to WoW but whenever again I feel longing for that universe I'll play one of them, not necessarily for a full hour. :)
Thank you so much, some of those are epic. I need to change my morning alarm.
My favorites are
For the Alliance 1
For the Alliance 2
For the Alliance 3
Alliance battle march 1
[Cataclysm] Stormwind 1
[Cataclysm] Stormwind 3
[Cataclysm] Stormwind 4
Ward, to change my alarm too
I am Horde all the way, but one of my favourite moments was just peacefully exploring every possible alliance territory and bowing to the statue of Varian in Stormwind.
I have 2 characters each in both factions. I was a hardcore hordie at the beginning during Vanilla, BC and Wrath, I kinda quit during Cata. Came back for Pandaria and decided to roll an alliance toon, after awhile all my char's eventually became alliance. Now recently I just faction changed my 120 rogue into a horde meanwhile I'm leveling up a horde orc hunter, just started him recently and I'm like "damn I miss my horde toons". So now I have both alliance and horde.
@@xmetalearth3922 I really love the Horde, the aesthetics, the tribal feel, sense of honor and so on.. the only thing I don´t like, is the current warchief...
@@FlourEater I would say my favorite races of the horde are the blood elves, tauren and orcs. I love the character models for the undead, but I'm not too keen on their use of biological warfare and such. Orcs do have a sense of honor and tauren's are kind of in touch with the earth and have a native american vibe going on. I kinda dig the trolls too in a way, I kinda like how blizz uses the mayan type culture to present them.
0:00 and 34:34
Two pieces that shall never be forgotten.
34:34 always reminds me of the south park episode XD i just want to go back
This is such nostalgia drive i can almost remember every moment playing this game :D
10:25 I love this part. It sounds soo nice and relaxing.
no matter for howlong you have played this game, entering world of warcraft and just be in Stormwind and its world that it offers is just the best and most magical feeling there is. no game goes above that for me. This game changed everything! For everybody who reads this, i wish you all the best of luck in life and whatever is going on, know this, with everything that starts comes an end. and at the end, it will be alright with you. love you all!
I'm a Horde player now but started off as Alliance. Entering Stormwind for the first time was so beautiful it almost made me cry, yet awe inspired at the same time.
Hearing it again makes me feel like I betrayed the Alliance :/
you did tho
@@logandunlap9156 Maybe I did. But I did it for cooler looking character models whuahahahahaha
These videos actually inspired me to play WoW again.
thank you, nothing is more touching than this
... FOR THE ALLIANCE...!!!!
RIP VARIANN
20:16
Human fighting a bush
"Take that you bloody, filthy bush!"
Hahahahahahahaha
7:41 THIS is the Alliance!!
I love it! Thank you for Upload it :D
The music, the experience... Are embedded into our very souls. We were pioneers, explorers of this new digital world. Nowadays, the world has been explored, every corner discovered, every stone has been turned, the new became old. But once again, a new light shall lead the way, new worlds will be revealed... Take this message, traveler, and carry it with you. Wherever you're heading, you're going to need it. Until we meet again.
UGH! The beginning of this song. So epic... so legendry. So heroic! I love it. X3 ....I'm Horde though. >:)
This game was my vacation from Alliance lead in Guild Wars. I loved every minute I puttered around. I miss perching on a building listening to this amazing music and reading chat.
Honestly though!!! 47:25 - omg seriously those violin or cello or w/e so bomb it gets me goin
This brought tears to my eyes
I have played since shortly before the release of Burning Crusade, with a short break during Draenor. The very first time you walk into Stormwind was stunning.
17:33 "Oh Cheese and Eggs, oh how... they taste so good, Cheese and Eggs, Cheese on Toast too..."
I’ll always remember entering SW for the first time. I was a Gnome and after entering Iron Forge for the first time and see loads of players a female NE brought me on the tram to SW and my new leveling zone. Love the zone and the neighboring zones as well!
I remember exiting the train from ironforge into the dwarven district with my gnome character. It was amazing hearing the music and seeing a big and beautiful city like Stormwind.
4:17 main theme of the paladin class
The best days of my life were World of Warcraft playing I Wish or The World Was Like Wow
Thank you WoW, and thank you Everness. This music is like a lullaby...
18:13 I also remember sitting with a girl on the fountain, she was also a Draenei and I was a Draenei a man :)
Rebuilt by the Stonemasons guild is only HALF the story. The king refused to pay them and their leader, Edwin VanCleef for rebuilding the city. And so the Defias was born. And we hunted them never fully knowing the other half of the full story. Well unless you were one of those people who read quests back in Classic! Haha
Such a great story.
You can't expect to have the story with all its spoilers in a game description. That's part of the beauty of the game, just how big it is, waiting to be revealed to the curious and adventurous.
Doing this quest line now haha
@@SecretlyAngelica It was the quest line I was most excited for in Classic haha.
@@mike0rr This questline does not exist in dragoflight?
@@mcaps3427 I haven't played WoW in years. It should still exist in classic up till Cata I believe.
Dragonflight likely doesn't have it unless you can go back in time in game.
Muchas gracias por compartir esta joya ,lo valoramos mucho los que amamos este juego ..comence en la alianza en los inicios de wow,a los 4 años me pase a la la horda .es una delicia para los oidos esta banda sonora de ventormenta ..sigo jugando al wow a mis 42 años ,definitivamente es el juego de mi vida ,aunque he jugado a muchos ninguno me ha proporcionado tantas horas de risas,alegria ,entusiasmo y tantos buenos amigos que hice en todos estos años de diferentes puntos de españa y aun asi nos conocimos en persona .haces un trabajo increible y creo que amas el wow tambien pues tu trabajo me indica eso .un abrazo desde el sur de españa y un millon de gracias Everness..larga vida al wow of warcraft./bailar
55:34 my heart feels, like some hope is coming - cry........
The first time you go trough that gates back in the good old days, no player did forget this. It was magic
Tnx god they didn't burned Stormwind , u never know with blizzard this days .
Poor Teldrassil :(
Magical studies stressing your brain? Relax at the Blue Recluse!
I'm proud of being an Alliance soldier.
Well met.
Does anyone else get a weird bubbly feeling? I remember sitting awake at like 4am whilst mum was asleep running around an empty Sw
