[0:03] huh so you want to jump into the Video
[0:05] Game World of Warcraft or you just want
[0:08] to charge into battle
[0:11] screaming or maybe they just want to
[0:14] jump into a fantasy MMO RPG game with
[0:17] their friends that could be the reason
[0:19] as to why they want to try out World of
[0:21] Warcraft actually yeah you could be
[0:23] right that could be a reason as well
[0:25] well if you want to play World of
[0:27] Warcraft there are two versions of the
[0:29] game that you can pick from there's
[0:31] retail World of Warcraft or there is
[0:33] classic World of Warcraft which is the
[0:35] best version that you should play oh my
[0:38] God all right all right bro hold on a
[0:40] second we can't just go on full scale
[0:42] rants as to why they should play our
[0:45] version that we suggest of the game why
[0:48] don't we do this we'll both have our
[0:50] time to share why they should jump into
[0:53] either retail or classic wow and then
[0:56] the viewer themselves can decide which
[0:58] version of the game they wanted jump
[1:00] into how does that sound actually that
[1:02] sounds perfect I'm looking forward into
[1:05] diving into it all right in this video
[1:07] we're going to go ahead and dive into
[1:08] the two different versions of the game I
[1:10] will be supporting retail World of
[1:12] Warcraft and I'm going to be repping
[1:15] classic wow and spoiler alert I am
[1:18] probably kind of like a new player
[1:21] sharing my opinion as to which version
[1:23] of the game you should jump into we are
[1:26] actually new players I started playing
[1:28] the game in early February February 2023
[1:31] so we're noobs sharing our opinion but
[1:33] regardless I'm giving a very unique
[1:35] opinion as to which version of the game
[1:38] that you should try out because I'm not
[1:40] some hardcore crazy player who's super
[1:43] into the game and knows the best way to
[1:45] DPS and do the most numbers yeah we
[1:48] sometimes don't even know what our
[1:49] skills are when we're reading our skill
[1:51] bar we are that new exactly and that's
[1:54] why this video is probably a little bit
[1:56] more unique than some of the other ones
[1:58] that are out there on the internet but
[2:00] have no fear I have played retail World
[2:03] of Warcraft and I am actually playing
[2:05] classic wow on Twitch I'll be live
[2:07] streaming it there you should check me
[2:09] out okay bro listen there's no reason
[2:11] for you to start you know sharing the
[2:13] twitch channel that early on let's just
[2:15] go ahead and jump into the
[2:17] [Music]
[2:19] video so which version are we going to
[2:21] start off with I think we should
[2:23] probably start out with the version that
[2:25] has been around for the longest
[2:28] technically speaking is actually retail
[2:31] World of
[2:32] Warcraft this version of the game has so
[2:34] many updates that have been sprinkled
[2:37] into the game over the past 20 years if
[2:40] you want to go ahead and try and beat
[2:41] the Lich King with an overpowered
[2:43] character you can do that in this game
[2:46] if you want to play the newest expansion
[2:48] that Blizzard Entertainment is
[2:50] constantly adding updates on currently
[2:52] with this video it's the war within you
[2:54] can do that in this video game they're
[2:57] constantly adding brand new transmogs
[2:59] into to the game for you to acquire in
[3:01] new raids seasonal updates all this kind
[3:04] of stuff there's always something to do
[3:07] within retail wow so what makes it stand
[3:09] out compared to its younger little
[3:11] sibling classic wow well there's a lot
[3:14] more to do in the game there's way more
[3:17] classes to pick from at the character
[3:18] select screen as well as way more
[3:21] customization for your character classic
[3:24] is a bit more limited obviously the game
[3:26] was made in 2004 and hasn't been updated
[3:29] since but with retail wow if you want to
[3:32] be a giant dragon walking around in the
[3:34] game or maybe you're just looking to
[3:35] have more hairstyles to pick from when
[3:37] you create your character yeah if you
[3:39] want to have dreadlocks as a human you
[3:41] can't do that in classic World of
[3:42] Warcraft it's only allowed in retail wow
[3:45] for the time being I don't know maybe
[3:47] they'll make Classic Plus at one point
[3:49] and we'll have new character creation
[3:51] options but for the time being if you
[3:53] want to be a little dreadlock human boy
[3:55] you have to play retail wow aside from
[3:57] that though when you jump into the game
[3:58] you might think okay I'm I'm super far
[4:00] behind how am I going to go through the
[4:02] game and actually get to the max level
[4:05] currently it's level 80 but I don't know
[4:07] maybe when you're watching this video
[4:08] it's level 100 or 200 who knows well how
[4:11] do you catch up Blizzard Entertainment
[4:13] makes it very easy for you to actually
[4:16] level in the game the main appeal with
[4:18] retail wow is for you to actually hit
[4:20] max level so that that way you can start
[4:22] farming out higher level gear that way
[4:25] you can jump into the raids in the game
[4:27] or Mythic plus now these are the two
[4:30] different I guess I would say endgame
[4:32] content that a lot of players jump into
[4:34] with raids it's your typical large scale
[4:37] player group activity in an instance
[4:40] where there are multiple bosses that you
[4:42] can defeat and hopefully one of them
[4:44] drops those items that you're looking
[4:46] for and you have your fingers crossed
[4:48] that you win the role to get that item
[4:51] raids are some of the most fun I've had
[4:53] within World of Warcraft it's one of my
[4:56] favorite things that I really like about
[4:57] retail and blizzard does a great job at
[5:00] tuning it and making it so it's still
[5:02] difficult but it's not easy for you to
[5:05] kind of steamroll through and if you
[5:07] think wow this raid is kind of easy
[5:09] there are higher scales you have the
[5:11] normal difficulty you have heroic and
[5:13] then you have Mythic difficulty wow I've
[5:16] only done a couple of Mythic raids
[5:19] within World of Warcraft and they're
[5:21] actually pretty hard if you don't have a
[5:23] good or high enough item level aside
[5:26] from raids the other type of content
[5:28] that players like to do is called Mythic
[5:30] plus this is essentially dungeons that
[5:32] are scaled up so if you want to do a
[5:35] level two Mythic dungeon that
[5:38] essentially means there will be some
[5:40] kind of variables that are sprinkled in
[5:42] to make it a bit more difficult maybe
[5:44] the enemies are a bit more tankier they
[5:46] have more Health perhaps you have a
[5:48] debuff on your character that makes it a
[5:50] little bit more difficult and of course
[5:52] the dungeon or Mythic dungeon is timed
[5:55] so you can't just kind of steamroll your
[5:57] way through take some breaks you know to
[5:59] eat some food or I don't know scroll on
[6:01] Tik Tok to watch some mless content no
[6:04] you got to go through and there's a
[6:05] timer that you got to beat if you want
[6:07] to get the loot from the Mythic dungeon
[6:09] and it constantly scales up which is
[6:11] really fun because you could do content
[6:13] that is normal you know you used to do
[6:16] this dungeon before and you're like ah
[6:18] it's easy it's whatever I did it once
[6:20] but this is constantly evolving you can
[6:22] try and challenge yourself and be like
[6:23] okay can I do a level five Mythic
[6:26] dungeon or can I actually hit that max
[6:28] level of of level 10 for this Mythic
[6:30] dungeon or is that too difficult then
[6:32] can I only do a level eight for the time
[6:34] being this is constantly getting more
[6:37] difficult as time goes on of course the
[6:39] rewards are a bit better but this is
[6:41] something that a lot of players like to
[6:42] do but maybe you're a solo player and
[6:45] you're like I don't have time to put
[6:46] together a group or try and get into a
[6:48] guild to run this instance-based content
[6:51] how can I enjoy World of Warcraft this
[6:53] would be when the delves come into the
[6:55] game this is essentially solo instance
[6:58] dungeons that you can with NPC
[7:00] companions in all honesty like delves
[7:03] are fun if you're looking to do it like
[7:05] once or twice every once in a while but
[7:08] in my opinion it's an MMO RPG game it's
[7:11] way more fun when you do instance-based
[7:13] content with other players which means
[7:16] you can do delves with other players
[7:18] it's something that you can consider and
[7:20] I would recommend doing this instead
[7:22] instead of jumping into it with your NPC
[7:25] companion named uh Bran or whatever his
[7:27] name is he he's so annoying he he
[7:29] doesn't heal me when he needs to but
[7:31] whatever he's kind of a meme at this
[7:32] point I recommend playing the MMO RPG
[7:35] game with other players w you know
[7:38] that's crazy and when it comes to
[7:40] playing with other players you might
[7:41] find that they have some unique looking
[7:43] outfits and then you'll ask them how did
[7:45] you get this piece of armor where did
[7:47] you get this weapon and this is when the
[7:49] other element of retail wow comes to
[7:52] shine so much brighter compared to its
[7:55] little sibling classic with retail World
[7:58] of Warcraft there's so much transmog
[8:00] this means that there's lots of
[8:02] different armor there's lots of
[8:03] different weapons and there are tons and
[8:06] tons and tons of mounts to collect in
[8:08] the game this means that you'll spend a
[8:10] lot of time going back through old
[8:13] content to put together a unique looking
[8:16] appearance for your character I think a
[8:19] lot of players really enjoy this aspect
[8:22] of retail World of Warcraft so much so
[8:25] that when they're done getting together
[8:27] an outfit and a a mount that matches
[8:30] that outfit for their main character
[8:32] they will create an ALT character to
[8:34] make a very unique outfit for them so
[8:37] that that way when you log into the game
[8:39] your War band where all the characters
[8:41] are at this kind of campfire area you
[8:44] can look at all the characters and be
[8:45] like wow I made all of these characters
[8:48] they're all decked out in very unique
[8:50] appearances that I collected across all
[8:52] of Azeroth this is something that is
[8:55] truly amazing and to be honest with you
[8:58] I think I covered a lot of points as to
[9:00] why players like to play retail wow I'm
[9:03] sure there are other points that you
[9:05] might want to drop in the comment
[9:07] section down below but I do know that if
[9:09] I take up too much time this guy over
[9:12] here is going to be incredibly rude to
[9:14] me later so I'll go ahead and stop
[9:17] talking let's give the microphone over
[9:19] to our classic World of Warcraft fan
[9:22] over here and see as to why you should
[9:25] play that version of the game all right
[9:28] take it away yeah can't believe you
[9:29] actually listen to that guy chat for
[9:32] that long let's dive into the best
[9:34] version of the game classic World of
[9:37] Warcraft so classic World of Warcraft is
[9:39] the version of the game that people
[9:41] literally ruined their lives playing
[9:43] they dropped out of college they stopped
[9:46] dating their girlfriends they wanted to
[9:48] level up and get to endgame within this
[9:50] version of the game there's no flying
[9:52] mounts in the game you have to run
[9:54] everywhere on foot that is until you hit
[9:56] Level 40 when you can finally get your
[9:58] Mount that means that the game's world
[10:01] and scale is so large and massive of
[10:04] course you think well I have to run
[10:06] everywhere is this just a running
[10:08] simulator well it isn't because you can
[10:11] unlock flight paths in certain areas but
[10:13] the fact that you have to run everywhere
[10:15] in the game at first makes the game's
[10:18] World feel so immersive and massive for
[10:21] you as a player this is something that
[10:23] you'll realize classic wow is a bit more
[10:26] slower compared to retail wow it's more
[10:29] of the journey to leveling up to max
[10:32] level than just rushing to max level and
[10:35] then doing a bunch of endgame content
[10:37] the real journey with classic wow is
[10:39] trying to level up and get to level 60
[10:42] there are some classes that you can pick
[10:43] from in the game they do have a little
[10:45] bit of character customization I know
[10:47] the previous guy was chatting about how
[10:49] oh there's there's more hair in our
[10:51] version of the game who cares bro just
[10:53] make your character it doesn't matter
[10:55] you're going to deck them out and
[10:57] hopefully some good armor drops that you
[10:58] get from from different enemies and
[11:00] different Dungeons and then eventually
[11:02] you'll be running through the game and
[11:04] you don't want to get too tied to your
[11:06] character if you end up playing the
[11:08] hardcore version of the game where if
[11:10] you die you have to delete your
[11:12] character and go back to level one again
[11:15] so who cares about spending an eternity
[11:17] at character customization it does not
[11:19] matter if essentially if you play
[11:21] hardcore wow like you are in the thick
[11:23] of it you better be prepared to dive
[11:26] into it and maybe lose your character
[11:28] unless you're a gig Chad like me who
[11:30] hasn't died yeah I'm level 30 right now
[11:32] but regardless why should you play
[11:34] classic wow the journey is a bit more
[11:36] slow it's a it's a really chill game and
[11:38] you'll get to understand why MMO RPGs
[11:41] are where they are today this version of
[11:44] the game is the reason why MMO RPGs
[11:47] still exist it's so massively successful
[11:50] classic wow that people are still
[11:52] playing this old version of the game 20
[11:55] years later that should speak for itself
[11:58] the music when you enter Stormwind for
[12:01] the first time the experience that you
[12:03] get going through deadmines and kind of
[12:05] freaking out like am I going to make it
[12:07] through exploring the different zones
[12:10] within the game that you would normally
[12:11] just fly over in retail because you
[12:14] quickly hit max level so you didn't have
[12:16] to go to Zone to Zone to Zone to level
[12:19] when it comes to Classic wow you'll be
[12:22] experiencing most of the zones within
[12:24] the game of course if you do make an
[12:26] alliance character and you never roll on
[12:28] over in to The Horde then maybe you
[12:30] won't see all the zones but for the most
[12:32] part you're going to see a lot more
[12:34] compared to retail World of Warcraft
[12:36] you're going there because of quests
[12:38] you're going there you know to get
[12:40] through a map to unlock a flight path in
[12:42] the next Zone that is you know
[12:44] neighboring it the world within classic
[12:47] wow is just I don't know it's just a
[12:49] whole lot more immersive than retail wow
[12:52] at least in my opinion because you're
[12:53] not rushed to some certain area in the
[12:55] game to get the end game no you're
[12:57] you're slowly leveling and going through
[12:59] the game world I recommend a couple of
[13:01] add-ons though if you're going to play
[13:03] classic World of Warcraft one of them is
[13:05] called questy and the other one is
[13:07] called voiceover it essentially will
[13:10] voice over the text that a lot of people
[13:13] will just skip over when it comes to
[13:14] Quest but if you want a AI voice that
[13:17] actually does a pretty fairly decent job
[13:20] at voicing the quest if you want them to
[13:22] essentially voice over the quest and
[13:25] read things out loud I would install
[13:27] this add-on because it makes The Quest
[13:29] thing and the experience with it way
[13:31] more better in my opinion aside from
[13:33] that though there is endgame content if
[13:35] you make it to the end they do have big
[13:38] big big raids like way more players than
[13:40] you would actually experience in retail
[13:42] World of Warcraft see with classic they
[13:45] had larger scale raids I think it was
[13:47] with 50 or 40 people I'm still new I'm
[13:50] I'm still only level 30 so hey you go
[13:52] easy on me but I think the larger scale
[13:55] with more players in a raid makes it all
[13:57] the more epic I think with classic wow
[13:59] it's it's more simple you know there's
[14:01] not tons of skills within your skill bar
[14:03] there's only the set from Level 1 to 60
[14:06] obviously with retail wow they have
[14:08] sprinkled in a bunch of things like oh
[14:09] you have you know like different skills
[14:11] that you can pick and there's there's
[14:13] more talentry things that you can deck
[14:15] out and it's just way more confusing I
[14:17] feel like with with classic wow it's a
[14:19] bit more tamed down you have still the
[14:22] talent points that you can kind of build
[14:23] out a different tree and different
[14:25] skills and obviously your skill bar will
[14:27] look pretty loaded if you want it to but
[14:30] it's still dumbed down in a way that is
[14:33] a bit more simple to understand there's
[14:35] a reason why people stick around with
[14:37] classic because it feels cozy this is
[14:39] something that a lot of players love to
[14:41] experience the music the the different
[14:44] content and of course when you're
[14:45] playing through the dungeons within
[14:47] classic most of the time you're within
[14:49] the level bracket so it's going to be a
[14:50] challenge for you or at least other
[14:52] players within your group when you're
[14:54] doing instance-based content the main
[14:57] appeal with classic is just no knowing
[14:59] that this game led to so many other MMO
[15:02] RPGs rising from the ground up there
[15:04] wouldn't be a Guild Wars 2 if classic
[15:07] wow didn't do so well there wouldn't be
[15:09] new world or even any other MMO RPG that
[15:12] is out there and that has been
[15:13] influenced by classic wow it wouldn't
[15:16] exist without this game and that's why
[15:19] this game is worth playing at the end of
[15:21] the day now of course you can't really
[15:23] deck out your character in transmog but
[15:26] that does not mean that blizzard isn't
[15:28] thinking and in the kitchen with Classic
[15:31] Plus and I think I'll spend a quick
[15:33] minute chatting about what Classic Plus
[15:34] is everyone really loves classic World
[15:36] of Warcraft this is their favorite
[15:38] version of the game they still play it
[15:39] to this day and it's constantly fun
[15:41] because when they hit the 60 they go
[15:43] okay do I want to try out you know the
[15:45] hardcore version or reroll another
[15:47] character blizzard knows though that
[15:49] this version of the game isn't forever
[15:51] people will churn out eventually when
[15:53] you hit Level 60 when you do the raids
[15:55] when you get the best gear you'll
[15:56] probably stop playing the game unless
[15:57] you make another character or play with
[15:59] a friend or or join a guild it's very
[16:01] important to play this game with other
[16:02] players I highly suggest it but they are
[16:04] thinking about probably doing something
[16:06] what they call Classic Plus is what the
[16:08] community is saying it's essentially
[16:09] taking what classic World of Warcraft is
[16:11] and building onto it basically adding on
[16:14] new content new expansions all that kind
[16:16] of stuff within classic World of
[16:18] Warcraft and that's very exciting that
[16:19] could mean that the formula of what
[16:22] makes classic World of Warcraft really
[16:24] good fun and exciting they're not over
[16:26] complicating things they're just adding
[16:28] more content within the game maybe
[16:29] that's more endgame content for you to
[16:31] dive into maybe it's more um you know
[16:34] middleof the road content for level 30s
[16:36] 20s 40s we really don't know what it is
[16:38] but we do know that blizzard is trying
[16:41] things out they tried it with season of
[16:43] discovery which is like an off-brand
[16:44] version of classic wow and of course
[16:46] they are doing that re-release of brand
[16:49] new servers where if you do want to
[16:51] continue playing the classic wow you can
[16:53] jump into burning Crusade later on in
[16:55] 2025 and I don't know maybe we'll have
[16:58] Wrath of the L in 2026 like classic is
[17:01] really exciting and Blizzard
[17:03] Entertainment knows that a lot of people
[17:05] really like this version of the game
[17:07] it's hard to explain why classic is good
[17:09] because if you look at the the gameplay
[17:11] you're like this looks kind of boring it
[17:13] it it seems like it kind of plays by
[17:15] itself but I promise you if you dive
[17:17] into classic wow you get to at least
[17:19] beating deadmines like past level 20
[17:22] it'll click For You especially if you're
[17:24] looking for a challenge I highly
[17:25] recommend diving into hardcore wow it is
[17:28] like my favorite version of the game
[17:30] especially if you don't know what you're
[17:31] doing every little encounter with a
[17:34] murlock or or any anything in the game
[17:37] has you on edge because you know if you
[17:39] die you're going back to level one and
[17:41] essentially this is why I recommend
[17:43] classic wow maybe you have some
[17:45] recommendations yourselves or advice as
[17:47] to why you play classic wow be sure to
[17:50] leave it in the comment section down
[17:51] below I do read every single comment I
[17:53] do want to take a moment to thank my
[17:55] patreon supporters it's only one person
[17:57] thank you very much SAS pass I
[17:59] appreciate you so you're nearing the end
[18:01] of the video and this is where we want
[18:03] to know what version of wow are you
[18:05] going to pick are you going to jump into
[18:07] retail World of Warcraft or are you
