Watch Now! WoW Classic with Creators

To commemorate the release of World of Warcraft Classic, we assembled some members of the original World of Warcraft team for an epic play session with the game that launched or propelled many of their careers. Watch original WoW game designers Alex Afrasiabi, Tom Chilton, Jeff Kaplan, Pat Nagle, and Aaron Keller group up and discuss their fondest memories developing the game.

Pat Nagle.. it feels so.. wrong.

Great video. Just look at hilton and how genially happy he is.

[Wishblade]

It's nice to see people being happy about Classic and I hope most who plan to return to the past will get what they seek and enjoy tremendously.

yeah...the almost child like giddiness most of those guys are displaying as well as their obvious passion is perhaps the single best "selling" video / cinematic Blizzard ever produced and it speaks volumes about Classic as a game worth playing.

There's a certain charm, for lack of a better description, to the original game and how it played missing from subsequent iterations.

[MarkTheMadMad]

That music at the start hit me in the nostalgia face 100x over

[derpkitteh]

lmao, they literally used the home meme.

will be nice to see teldrassil without that shitty modern lighting though. it'll be going home for me, too.

I worked at Blizzard from 05-12. It makes me happy to see these long time vets I saw daily that were instrumental in the growth of the game getting to sit back and have some fun talking about it.

These guys poured their heart and soul into the work they did. Keep in mind though, that the people working there now are doing the same thing. Ion and his team are just as committed to WoW as Jeff, Tom, Alex and the rest were.

I'm so thankful to watch this video, see them play this again, and to re-join them next week in WoW classic.

It's time to go home again!

ps - to those in wow retail, keep on <3'ing it. Seriously, there's plenty of WoW for us all.

Unless I missed something, Alex still works on WoW.

[Liftbrul]

I admit, that was a little heartwarming.

[OokOok]

Unless I missed something, Alex still works on WoW.

Yeah, he does, he's creative director.

SOMEONE'S A LIAR!

Anyways, I worked at blizz from 1990-2030
and I must say this is great watching.

[Sesto]

jeff pls come back to wow

[Justpassing]

jeff pls come back to wow

Yeah we just need him and Ghostcrawler and we're back on track.

[Laqweeta]

Yeah, he does, he's creative director.

WoW doesn't get released until 2030 so idk what game ya'll are playing but I work at Blizzard and it releases in about 11 years.

[Nerovar]

That was wholesome as fuck.

[kamuimac]

their PR team definetly deserves the quaterly bonus for this stunt.

Hey I'm as cynical as the next guy but these guys are also human.

[Gaidax]

Fun video +1

[Liftbrul]

Hey I'm as cynical as the next guy but these guys are also human.

Yeah I'd normally be among the first to call them out on emotionally manipulative marketing like this, but I feel they're being genuine. They made something special, and getting to return to it 15 years later is enough to thaw the iciest heart.

[Grimbolt]

People happy about something they worked on being a huge success? This cant stand. Must find alternate motives to making this movie and look down on them.
