Darkshore took a heavy toll from the Cataclysm – its landscape was wrecked, perhaps more thoroughly than any other part of Azeroth. For a time, the area was unapproachable due to gale winds, with several Cenarion druids sent there went missing. Auberdine was completely destroyed, the ground was cracked and flooded with streams and whirlpools, and there are fires, storms and other hazards of nature ravaging the zone. The night elves are in survival mode, helping refugees and, wherever they can, fending off the advances of the Twilight’s Hammer cult, the naga, and the Shatterspear trolls.
Meanwhile, Malfurion Stormrage, recently returned from the Emerald Dream, has traveled to the epicenter of the destruction, the Eye of the Vortex, and called upon the ancient powers of Cenarius to contain the devastation, preventing Darkshore from being shattered and swept away into the ocean.
The Grove of the Ancients was shielded from most of the devastation caused by the Cataclysm, due in large part to the power of the ancient guardians residing therein. Protecting the grove required an enormous amount of energy, though, and as a result, most of the guardians have gone into a sort of slumber.
The night elves built the town of Lor’danel further north from Aubderdine, in order to maintain some foothold on Darkshore. The village is made up of new buildings, as the night elves cleared away the ruins they could not restore. Most of the night elves currently living in Darkshore have focused their attention on reclaiming Auberdine and helping out any survivors that can be found.
After the Cataclysm, the Shatterspear trolls started establishing footholds on northern Darkshore, and the night elves have responded by scouting and preparing to defend the area from the seemingly hostile trolls.

Woah.. very dark
I'm back from my holiday. I hope everyone had a nice break; I know I did. I had the chance to see my family again.
I had this video ready 2 weeks ago, but I've decided I'll postpone it until the holidays are over, just to try to see if the views will get better.
P.S.: I've also postponed the winter giveaway so I'll catch more people online. Participate here: http://tiny.cc/efptvz

Thank you Meiso!
Darkshore is one of my favourite Zones – all time!
Well hey, just woke up at 5am. Time to sleep till 6 or 7. Keep up the great work
Darkshore and Loch Modan <3
Darkshore! Even ravaged by the Cataclysm it's still a place I always find a reason to level in. The moment you arrive in Lor'danel from Teldrassil, it's enchanting yet still shadowed by an ancient darkness waiting to be explored. Thanks for capturing the magic. Many blessings upon you and yours ❤
Ashenvale and Duskwood are Magnificent too
Oh my favorite area in game 🙂
The first character my brother ever made was a night elf Druid. Back when we shared an account because I was too young to own one myself. Arriving at Darkshore you feel like “oh now we’re in the real world”.. leaving the protection of Telsrassil and city of Darnassus. This zone has a darkness unique to the alliance factions. Much like Silverpine Forest as a horde equivalent. Thanks Meisio!
Auberdine was to me what Goldshire was for the human players. I loved it and the surrounding area, so I hated seeing it destroyed this way. I'm glad we got Classic, so I could go back to what it was.
darkshore will always be my fave thank you for uploading such a nice video
So many memories..
Classic Darkshore is so much better
I mentioned this on your Teldrassil video, about my first experience in WoW. I started playing towards the very end of wotlk. I got my trial character to Darkshore and thought it was an incredible place. By the time I actually bought the game, Cataclysm was released. Didn't notice much of a difference in Teldrassil, but then I got to Darkshore and was really confused because I had remembered the big dock and the town looked different. When I found Auberdine… dear lord… it hurt. I didn't even know what had happened. Just that the faint memory I had of this place was now that of ruins.
Cata gets a lot of crap for destroying the old world, but I'll be damned if I didn't say I was immersed because of the timing I had in playing right between expansions.
fantastic
What a treat! Loved this zone.
Aaah, nice =)
beautiful, just beautiful. thank you for another masterpiece Meisio
While I never really played with Nightelves that much, I always found Darkshore an interesting place to be. The music of the zone nicely delivers the racial themes, while it has it's own touch on them. Thank You very much for collecting these tunes, and let us wander around the Shores! I wish you great year, both on youtube and in your life! I hope that this year I can further explore this world with you. 🙂
