I’ve very fond memories of leveling my draenei back in this zone. The quests were pretty cool for their time. I loved the chain that involved learning the language of the furbolgs. And the ending with the elite blood elf mobs which requires a whole group to do was epic if you could get some people together to do it, not to mention it gave crazy experience and awesome rewards. More than anything however, this song reminds me of being 17 again, sitting in my room with the window open during warm summer nights, feeling the breeze through the curtains as I level during the middle of the night. I was almost in a trance-like state, going from quest to quest, not even feeling hungry or tired because I was so mesmerized and immersed in the game. Good times, good memories.
+Mangs i was like... 15 or 16 years old Burning Crusade was my first experience with wow, it was really a beautiful time, all new, the magic of the game, so much to explore, the goal to reach level 70 and experience all the adventures, and the feeling running trough the forest of this great zone at 4,5 am in a trance like state as one of my pre posters said, its magic that we all had the same feelings and experience thank to this great game, it will never be the same, as it was as we started with this game, thank you blizzard for this great (and is say the word again) experience
This is some of the most profoundly nostalgia music for me, even having played since 2004. When TBC came out, it's hard to describe. I burned out on the greatest video game I''d ever played about a year and a half into it. Took a long vacation, and suddenly there was an explosion of new things in this game that had taken over my life. After 8 months or more, it was an oasis in a desert. Also, my mother had died that August, I was only 25. I suddenly was alone in life but had 90 thousand in life insurance. I did things in life I'd never done before just to do them. The morning I bought TBC at midnight, when the sun came up, it was snowing heavily. And I decided to go for a 3 mile walk in the snow listening to this soundtrack on my ipod. I'd not yet played the game and I usually never spoil the music, but the way I associate these songs with the very emotional walk in the snow, it's some of the most calming and soothing and serene music I've heard. It made me fall in love with the Draenei. When I saw the beauty of their starting zone, it was love at first sight, even to this day it impresses me.
This zone is an absolutely amazing masterpiece of art. The emotions it gave me when I first leveled through with my first draenei is unspeakable. No other video game could spark emotions in me like this game could. That feeling of magic, mystery and adventure. Still unmatched to this day.
+Norbi77 I still love to make draeneis to walk across those forests, hunt for thieves and furbolgs in their cave. Mine in nagas cavern. Sit in "middle" city watching exodar... ah...
That´s exactly the reason why I travel to Azuremyst Isle at least once a year on Halloween. I started WoW at this time many years ago and the feelings you described are exactly what I felt then. 100% nostalgia ^^
oh the the nostalgia..... I spent hours in that area to farm that blood elf mask...just to get enough money to learn 100% speed mount riding skill ...good times....I could cry
I remember when TBC launched, heading over to Bloodmyst/Azuremyst as a Belf to try grind out the blood elf bandit mask(it was like the defias one but with gold trimmings). I'd often pause in Azuremyst to listen to the music. Later on I leveled through the zone as a Draenei. It had some really great and entertaining quests, against this consuming score playing in the background. You can almost imagine the Draeneis' struggle in a new world with a completely foreign environment. There's something deeply mystical about the tune too. Blizzard really nailed the music sometimes.
This game put me in a trance as a kid. A total mental world of fantasy. Pure fantasy. But it felt so real at the time. I never thought I would lose it. It just sort of faded away. This music resembles the echo of a dying dream in my mind. Life is a trip. God is good
When I graduated from my junior high school,my teacher gave me a card,there are something he wanted to say to me.He said he is a Draenei in WoW,and the most important is……he said "May the light be with you". I was so excited,and then I cried.I really like that teacher.
I think the Azuremyst Isle music is just very peaceful. I sometimes make a Draenei just to listen to the music. It's so relaxing. Especially if I'm in a horrible mood.
SirMalorak It is peaceful, but also sad and melancholic. Of all the soundtracks, I think the one that touches me the most in wow is: Shards of the Exodar. It makes me feel as if I was Draenei myself, and losing so much is just unbearable.
Good old times now forever part of us. Like the mist on the horizon, elusive and ever shifting but always present in our memories. All those moments shine like a distant lighthouse in the sea of life reminding us of friends we've made and adventures we had. I am so happy I was part of it. Peace !
I used to come to this zone just to listen the music and relax :p Best soundtrack IMO along with Zangamarsh from the entire TBC and TBC had excellent soundtrack...especially SWP and BT music.
I love exodar and it's beauty and the relaxing music, while I created my 1st draenei paladin I felt I was a real draenei and that's my home! non of the cities and races could give the feeling! "May the light embrace you..."
WoW music is like a time machine back to my college years for me. Failed exams and skipped class pretty much one entire year, around when WOTLK came out. Worth it, absolutely worth it. Thank you Blizzard, for these great times and memories.
This brings me back to the days of levelling my Draenei which I still play now in Legion. Love this music and the Draenei are my favourite race. The Naaru have not forgotten us. Also, love the touch of the Draenei Shaman in the lower left hand corner with Lightning Shield
the reason why draenei is my favorite race is because of this zone. i absolutely loved the draenei quest, and lore. it's so erie and beautiful at the same time. and this music is just breathtaking. i also love bloodmyst isle too. i think that blizzard should make more native / indian like zones like this.
This was the first thing I remember about that game. I no long play because life, but I cannot forget Azuremyst. Best place ever. Thanks for the fantastic music.
Simply the best period of WoW here, the nostalgia is strong in this one. I keep going back to this game to relive the feeling, but it's all been watered down and hurried along now.
do I think wow is bad right now? yes. do I think it was because of any xpac besides WoD... no it was all WoD. the rest were still fun to me. as a vanilla player Wrath and BC were my favorite time. Everyone was a scumbag to each other and vanilla and would grind gold at questing zones so you could never level... still good times though.
+HexakillUltraRave That's why I play private servers. Everyone says "oh you're just nostalgic", but when I went back to Vanilla after being used to the post cata bullshit, it was *almost* like i was playing for the first time again. Naturally the feeling can't be 100% replicated, but it's still there. If anything it only proved that "rose-tinted glasses" had nothing to do with Blizzard totally fucking up a great game
This is by far some of my favorite music in WoW. It's so calming, and fits Azuremyst so perfectly that I enjoy coming back from time to time, just to roam around and listen.
This song reminds me of hours and hours of farming Blood Elf Bandit masks for selling on AH to FINALLY get some money for the things I need. It was the easiest way to make money at low levels. =D
I remember just being so drawn to the Draenei and the story around it, it was so mysterious and it felt so magical. And first journeying out of the starting zone into the forests and looking at the different places and then this music accompanying me through it all... there is no words to describe what vanilla wow made me feel, but I will forever remember my adventurers through these wonderful lands. :)
This is by far the best soundtrack in WOW imho. I love the gentle, ambient sound. Sometimes I just login with a low level Draenei just to enjoy the atmosphere...
It's used in Draenor! I was so happy that to hear it again! :) I just love this piece of art. Everything about the Azuremyst Isle is perfect. The music, the looks, the feels..it gives me chills :)
The Draenei and the associated art, music, and visuals is a timeless masterpiece of fictional lore ever produced. Blizzard hit out of the park when they created the Draenei race and all effects for them. "Open your heart to the light!"
Long live....Long live the Draenei!!!!!!! God how I miss the old days of wow...Just to think when BC launched I could not stand them until 3 months after launch....Now Bluegill faded into the history books lol I love this music...Then again if there is one thing wow had was some damn stunning stages and damn awesome music scores!!!!!!!
I'm not Alliance, but i love to visit this place so now and then in a peaceful manner :> I think the tauren and draenei could be very good friends actually~! Poor draenei, they've been through so much... :(
Francois424 Yeah maybe, I now prefer my Horde home though, :) but I respect most races that respect nature as well. I guess it's a tauren thing haha :-)
This is very sad for me. This music marked the time when I left WOW for good. I was a fully pvp 80 undead lock and used to sit in the bridge between azuremyst isle and the blood one listening to this music while studying for exams. Then life started to be too much work for me to dive aimlessly inside this game and I quit. Will never forget the best moments ever!!
Blood Elves also remind of the 18th century French a bit, with the extravagance of their architecture and their 'Sun King'. Also, their architecture looks like Art Nouveau. The 'modern' Night Elf architecture reminds of the Japanese, and their more ancient architecture looks Greco-Roman.
I listen to this some nights, just slowly falling asleep dreaming away to the TBC times when questing in Azuremyst isle. It makes the nostalgia and memories of the area so present. I remember creating a lot of characters just to experience it all over again, it was truely a masterpiece of a game.
Ngl I'm a die hard horde fan been that way since early 2004, listening to this track was a treat for me. I'd hop over a few low lvl ally boats and just roam the coasts and forests for hours fishing n stunting on Allys who would step up all while talking to friends on vent. Nostalgia doesn't give nearly enough credit to this feeling I have listening to these haunting yet honorable sounds, Well over a decade later.
this is the soundtrack i listen when i have a hard time getting asleep. it always worked so far. the soundtrack of Eversong woods and teldrassil will do too hehehe
This is my favorite most chill starting zone. ANyone who likes this type of ambient relazation music should check out the artist Anugama. His stuff sounds a LOT like this.
I love this soundtrack even more in Shadowmoon Valley. It fits so well with the sleepy atmosphere of the place, aswell as the beautiful Draenei buildings
What truly made me enjoy World of Warcraft was the fact that I wasn’t so jaded. I didn’t know everything about the game and I didn’t want to, but as the years passed I explored every single aspect of the game, and it all became dull and boring. I long for the time where the world felt mysterious, and things were fresh and exciting, but I don’t think I’ll be able to feel like that in any MMO anymore. WoW was my childhood growing up, nothing will ever compare.
It's good to see a passion for this kind of music. Draenai are peaceful and cool and the whole 2 isles remind me that life on other planets far out in the distance could he like that.
Thank you, for uploading this, its a celestial piece of art, with a melancholy touch, resembeling the tragic story about these people. I like to get blazed to this and it's a everlasting favorite of mine. Peace & prosparity to you.
Makes me sad listening to this a childhood that I never knew meant so much to me until it was gone, I used to find it hard to level there with new characters just because the sheer nostalgia that I missed could never be rekindled.
Wow. I remember when I started playing WoW, just when Cataclysm had released. I was 11. And I looked at all the races and classes, and decided to go for a male Draenei Mage. And I remember just walking around this zone, not understanding a thing, listening to this music, while talking to my best friends over Skype. Listening to this now, 11 years later, is so weird. The nostalgia is such a special feeling. This game was so amazing, and I really miss it sometimes. Nowadays, it’s easy to understand how simple and great life was back then. Life is nice now as well, but it’s hard growing up. WoW has given me a really good childhood.
We had very similar experiences, although I made a female draenei mage. I was just cluelessly wandering around the place most of the time, also helped by my lack of english knowledge at the time
Omg same this basically describes my exact situation that I couldn't seem to put in words. I miss the feeling so much, it's not that the game is bad now, it's that it lost its aspect of mystery to me. I want that back
It might sound strange, but I like to listen to this music in bed before sleep and pretend I'm actually there in Azuremyst Isle in some kind of Draenei camp. Nestled in my Runecloth duvet and looking up at the countless stars beyond the towering canopy above me. I sleep within minutes.
Just want to drop by again and say how this is my favorite WoW track. I think they took some Hindu inspiration in creating the Draenei, maybe the music I can't say for sure. But this music is just...perfect. I use it for doing my homework religiously.
Damn dude , so many feelings just in one video.I don't even know how to explain my feelings. This soundtrack was made by God or something? DRAENEI RULES!
for some reason i didnt rly like azuremyst the firs time i was there many years ago, now i just love it, its the most, .. the moossttt peaceful place eveer D:> this music is so soothing, thanks for the upload
+nathonas amen.. vanilla for its feeling and impressions. But TBC is the best atmospheric expansion, with the most immersive raids.. shame the nerf fest kicked in at the end and stuck around till ICC heroic was introduced. There wasnt a proper raid in WotLK till Ulduar and some people still think its the best expansion.. TBC had it all.
They gave Draenei and Blood Elves their own place in the world. Their own zones, their own cities. The goblin starting zone is never to be seen again and Gilneas is an empty husk. I understand WHY it's like that (Exodar and Silvermoon aren't exactly bustling cities) but it was nice to see them take the addition of new races so seriously in the beginning.
They gave them their own unique starting experiences to be sure. They didn't just plop Worgen, Goblin and Pandaren in the world without context, but their starting experiences just act as vehicles to level you up and are then disposed of. They aren't additions to the world like Quel'Thalas and the Draenei isles are. Gilneas IS there, but like I said, empty husk.
Out of all the fine soundtracks blizz made, this one is the most ambient in my opinion. When it first came out it was one of my favourites for doing homework, that was 8 years ago xD now it still serves purpose when i need to meditate before sleeping.
The new expansion Warlords of Draenor brings all of my memories from this isle back to mind. I always played on low populated servers, so it felt as if I was the only one to hear this music whenever I was on the isle. It was always so calming and warm, like the music was somehow talking to me. Now that I think about it, the Naaru was probably communicating to me :P
Apart from the game(which I played between October 2006 until may 2012), I especially choose this track when I had this highlight in my life. Five years ago I was struggling through life in a bad relationship which already lasted for 13 years, work I didn’t like etc. Then my gf left me, I got sacked from this employer I worked 17 years for(worked my way up). So left with nothing, then I stumbled on this track(once more), drank a cheap bottle of liquor 43 and decided to things differently Now, five years later and I met this beautiful, smart woman, married her! She already had a good position as a biologist with accordingly job. I reinvented myself, now I’m doing very well. We bought this mansion which we both thought we would never even own in our wildest dreams, but the moment we set foot in it, we both played this track immediately! Life is.... well more then just a box of chocolates ;)
I play WoW for 6.5 years now. I have yet to get tired of the game. No doubt the lovely soundtracks are a big part of why I still adore the game. This music was actually the first music that I heard when I created my Priestess. It'll forever be part of my life and I have reserved a special place in my heart for the Draenei.
The Naaru have not forgotten us...

Years later and I still use this + rain ASM sounds to fall asleep XD

I’ve very fond memories of leveling my draenei back in this zone. The quests were pretty cool for their time. I loved the chain that involved learning the language of the furbolgs. And the ending with the elite blood elf mobs which requires a whole group to do was epic if you could get some people together to do it, not to mention it gave crazy experience and awesome rewards.
More than anything however, this song reminds me of being 17 again, sitting in my room with the window open during warm summer nights, feeling the breeze through the curtains as I level during the middle of the night. I was almost in a trance-like state, going from quest to quest, not even feeling hungry or tired because I was so mesmerized and immersed in the game.
Good times, good memories.

This is some of the most profoundly nostalgia music for me, even having played since 2004. When TBC came out, it's hard to describe. I burned out on the greatest video game I''d ever played about a year and a half into it.

I'd hop over a few low lvl ally boats and just roam the coasts and forests for hours fishing n stunting on Allys who would step up all while talking to friends on vent. Nostalgia doesn't give nearly enough credit to this feeling I have listening to these haunting yet honorable sounds, Well over a decade later.
The chills are real :´)
this is the soundtrack i listen when i have a hard time getting asleep. it always worked so far. the soundtrack of Eversong woods and teldrassil will do too hehehe
I was always a Horde player, listening to this now makes me think i've missed quite a bit.
Hats off to Blizzard.
Silvermoon/Eversong & Ghostlands had an equally atmospheric zone imo just not with the same mystique Azuremyst & Bloodmyst had.
@@Roshea Hard to compete with space aliens from another planet living in crash-landed energy crystal ships. Mystique doesn't even scratch the surface.
I'm mostly a horde player, but goddamn this is one of my favorite starting zones. The music and scenery is amazing
Amazing sooth music. I could listen to this for hours and hours..and I have.
After all these years when I am having trouble sleeping, I will put this on repeat and sleep like a baby.
This is my favorite most chill starting zone. ANyone who likes this type of ambient relazation music should check out the artist Anugama. His stuff sounds a LOT like this.
Don't ever change this place Blizzard. It's legacy shall live on.
I played years ago and the Drainei music makes me to imagine Atlantis or Lemuria...
I love this soundtrack even more in Shadowmoon Valley. It fits so well with the sleepy atmosphere of the place, aswell as the beautiful Draenei buildings
all the memories...
So beautiful!!!! Already loved therace, now totally in love with their music
What truly made me enjoy World of Warcraft was the fact that I wasn’t so jaded. I didn’t know everything about the game and I didn’t want to, but as the years passed I explored every single aspect of the game, and it all became dull and boring. I long for the time where the world felt mysterious, and things were fresh and exciting, but I don’t think I’ll be able to feel like that in any MMO anymore. WoW was my childhood growing up, nothing will ever compare.
Super underrated.
It's good to see a passion for this kind of music. Draenai are peaceful and cool and the whole 2 isles remind me that life on other planets far out in the distance could he like that.
perfect for meditation :3
I played this game. and am here to meditate on this amazing music :)
Thanks for uploading this. Brings back memories. I just wish my friends would want to play again.
can't get enough of this. thank u so much!
Thank you, for uploading this, its a celestial piece of art, with a melancholy touch, resembeling the tragic story about these people. I like to get blazed to this and it's a everlasting favorite of mine. Peace & prosparity to you.
Makes me sad listening to this a childhood that I never knew meant so much to me until it was gone, I used to find it hard to level there with new characters just because the sheer nostalgia that I missed could never be rekindled.
It gives me chills, positively. Makes you imagine a misty, dark, cold, or a winter forest.
Wow.
I remember when I started playing WoW, just when Cataclysm had released. I was 11. And I looked at all the races and classes, and decided to go for a male Draenei Mage. And I remember just walking around this zone, not understanding a thing, listening to this music, while talking to my best friends over Skype.
Listening to this now, 11 years later, is so weird. The nostalgia is such a special feeling. This game was so amazing, and I really miss it sometimes.
Nowadays, it’s easy to understand how simple and great life was back then. Life is nice now as well, but it’s hard growing up. WoW has given me a really good childhood.
We had very similar experiences, although I made a female draenei mage. I was just cluelessly wandering around the place most of the time, also helped by my lack of english knowledge at the time
This is sooo relaxing to listen. Always give me good memories back in the starting zone
Yep here my adventures started as big clumsy draenei mage
I really love this music. 💖
Omg same this basically describes my exact situation that I couldn't seem to put in words. I miss the feeling so much, it's not that the game is bad now, it's that it lost its aspect of mystery to me. I want that back
It might sound strange, but I like to listen to this music in bed before sleep and pretend I'm actually there in Azuremyst Isle in some kind of Draenei camp. Nestled in my Runecloth duvet and looking up at the countless stars beyond the towering canopy above me. I sleep within minutes.
I do that with night elf music , memories of playing in 4th grad.... It makes me sad that this isn't a real world
I do that too sometimes
Just want to drop by again and say how this is my favorite WoW track. I think they took some Hindu inspiration in creating the Draenei, maybe the music I can't say for sure. But this music is just...perfect. I use it for doing my homework religiously.
It's beautiful this, somewhat sad, like some paradise that you can see but never be, like a dream.
Damn dude , so many feelings just in one video.I don't even know how to explain my feelings.
This soundtrack was made by God or something?
DRAENEI RULES!
TBC was the absolute peak of World of Warcraft, there was something special about it.. something else.. you could almost touch it.
for some reason i didnt rly like azuremyst the firs time i was there many years ago, now i just love it, its the most, .. the moossttt peaceful place eveer D:> this music is so soothing, thanks for the upload
I swear half of the views must be me, I fall asleep to this every single night
Amazing music. Thought provoking. I'd like to hear music like this in films.
The best time of WoW, closely followed by Vanilla. Best additional races. Best story. Best raids.
+nathonas amen.. vanilla for its feeling and impressions. But TBC is the best atmospheric expansion, with the most immersive raids.. shame the nerf fest kicked in at the end and stuck around till ICC heroic was introduced. There wasnt a proper raid in WotLK till Ulduar and some people still think its the best expansion.. TBC had it all.
not best for story. They didnt do illidans Char that well
They gave Draenei and Blood Elves their own place in the world. Their own zones, their own cities. The goblin starting zone is never to be seen again and Gilneas is an empty husk. I understand WHY it's like that (Exodar and Silvermoon aren't exactly bustling cities) but it was nice to see them take the addition of new races so seriously in the beginning.
kirbymaster5 Well to be fair, Goblins and Worgen did get their own special zones, and worgen STILL have their city, it's just not a capital city-city.
They gave them their own unique starting experiences to be sure. They didn't just plop Worgen, Goblin and Pandaren in the world without context, but their starting experiences just act as vehicles to level you up and are then disposed of. They aren't additions to the world like Quel'Thalas and the Draenei isles are. Gilneas IS there, but like I said, empty husk.
This music is the most relaxing music I've ever heard. I remember my first draenei and it was so amazing levling it to this beautiful music.
Out of all the fine soundtracks blizz made, this one is the most ambient in my opinion. When it first came out it was one of my favourites for doing homework, that was 8 years ago xD now it still serves purpose when i need to meditate before sleeping.
Although I mainly play horde the Draenei will always be my favourite race
The new expansion Warlords of Draenor brings all of my memories from this isle back to mind. I always played on low populated servers, so it felt as if I was the only one to hear this music whenever I was on the isle. It was always so calming and warm, like the music was somehow talking to me. Now that I think about it, the Naaru was probably communicating to me :P
So peaceful
Apart from the game(which I played between October 2006 until may 2012), I especially choose this track when I had this highlight in my life.
Five years ago I was struggling through life in a bad relationship which already lasted for 13 years, work I didn’t like etc.
Then my gf left me, I got sacked from this employer I worked 17 years for(worked my way up).
So left with nothing, then I stumbled on this track(once more), drank a cheap bottle of liquor 43 and decided to things differently
Now, five years later and I met this beautiful, smart woman, married her!
She already had a good position as a biologist with accordingly job. I reinvented myself, now I’m doing very well.
We bought this mansion which we both thought we would never even own in our wildest dreams, but the moment we set foot in it, we both played this track immediately!
Life is.... well more then just a box of chocolates ;)
I play WoW for 6.5 years now. I have yet to get tired of the game. No doubt the lovely soundtracks are a big part of why I still adore the game. This music was actually the first music that I heard when I created my Priestess. It'll forever be part of my life and I have reserved a special place in my heart for the Draenei.
still going in azurmyst some time with my Draenei to remember the good old time. and this music is amazing
