Anyone sorta miss the old "evil dream team"? I thought Illidan, Vashj, kael and Akama was such a cool team. So fun in WC3 and BC.

this cinematic just becomes all the more depressing when you see Shadowmoon Valley as it is in WoD

those orcs are like in level 40 greens wtf how did you lose to them

2:58 to 3:23 is so well done, easily one of my favorite cinematics ever.

It was how much years, 12? And I STILL remember whole Akama dialog from this trailer from start to finish, so many times I watched it when I first saw it.

I'm just saying right now, that this trailer actually brought some chills with how it was said, every word was great and sucked you into the story. And made you wanna play. I love it.

"I prefer to remember the temple as it used to be, not the abomination it has become" -Blizzard in 2020

A story of Lore, happiness, fear, tragedy, struggle, hope, redemption, anger, betrayal and vengeance in a three and a half minute trailer. Bring back TBC developers.

Man I'd love to go back there, I perfectly remember the day the patch was called, the hype was so brutal ,but it was for real

I prefer to remember Blizzard as it used to be...... not the abomination Activision made it become.

So epic. Congratulations for producing such a nice trailer!

After many years I notice Illidan in Black Temple logo at the end. :3

2:59 - 3:05, my thoughts on blizzards current handling sylvannases character summarised.

patch 2.1 Black Temple, patch 6.1 Twitter and Selfies

Still gives me the goose bumps. Miss Tbc so much.

Playing through BT solo right now, and I'm still amazed at the amount of work that went into designing this place (comparable with Blackrock Depths in vanilla). The attunement chain was epic too, as well as the trailer (they actually showed us what the temple looked like when it was still the Temple of Karabor, with the Den of Mortal Delights looking more like the Aldor Rise in Shattrath). Too bad that so few people could see it back in 2007 (and most of those who did only cared about loot).

Now we get to see Akama and the temple as they used to be

These were the golden days of Wow.

This was the patch I started playing I can't wait for classic to see what I missed

i swear to god no matter how many times i watch this i always get the chills at the last part

This is the first time I noticed Maiev Shadowsong in this trailer in the background starting at 3:14

This is by far one of the best WoW trailers. I still get goosebumps watching this !

goose bumps still, and after all these years...

I would like to see this cinematic remastered

"Even after the Orcs reckless sorcery tore the planet apart" Whups, lol!

I totally prefer this kind of story telling, along with the music it totally brings you into the trailer. "The betrayer will become the betrayed" Oh yeah!

Aww, don't hate on Illidan, he's just ~~misunderstood~~

days will never come again....

Illidan wasn't even really all that evil, he was just preparing his forces to defend against the next wave of legion aggression.

Is that Maiev at 3.16? Must have watched this 30 odd times and this is the first time I've noticed her :)

This is how you do patch trailers, not the way they do them now. Soulless and spoiling all the bosses before you even step into the raid.

Would love to see a remake of this trailer with the updated models…still my favorite patch trailer

Anything with illidan in it is just awesome. Very good lore and awesome memories. Best expansion!

I remember playing the single-player in WC3 with the Black Temple missions... so epic...

Can't wait for the update!!!

2018 viewers, feeling nostalgic bro?

Looking forward to calling Karabor home during the next expansion :)

"I prefer to remember the temple as it used to be" is such a strong line in this context

2021 - We get it back!

This is what alliance will be able to play, to play the defense when orc invade! it will be awesome

So nostalgic, this trailer was actually the first thing that made me interested in World of Warcraft.

probably best expansion

Cant wait to see Karabor in all its glory!

0:33 You can see this scene from another viewpoint in the new trailer for Warlords of Draenor.. Nice touch.

So if I kill Illidan as a Demon Hunter, will that cause a time paradox?

Best cinematic patch. Period

Also to reunite with the trapped Horde and Alliance members after the Dark Portal was closed at the end of the Second War, and to make sure Illidan's Fel Orc army didn't invade first. Also it was a war of conquest, especially for the Horde - regaining their lands in Nagrand and reuniting with the Mag'har was pretty important to them.

I live how it sounds when Akama says I remember the temple as it used to be

I prefer to remember my WoW as it used to be... not the abomination it has become.

3:15 Maiev Shadowsong walking behind Akama

I miss these. I wish they still did them every patch

Still here with goosebumps

We,l what did expect trusting a guy called the betrayer

Chills

This patch and the TBC Zul Aman patch were sooo good.

My oh my how things appear when the dust has settled.

I remember the trailers as they used to be. Epic, storydriven and narrated.

Patches nowadays consist of 25$ store mounts...RiP WoW.

So good this trailer is, quality we won't ever see again.

We are going to be waiting you.

2:50 We traded activision for microsoft. One evil master for another....

If time travel was a thing, this is where I would go.

The best dialogue that has been written ever!

I remember playing for my Champion of the Naruu title, how enjoyable everything was... I'd give anything to relive these days!

I prefer to remember WOW as it used to be... a place of community, i prgoressed my character and talked to people. I was happy then occupied..... I remember too the day Activison came..... the day mawled by cries of casuals and torrents of purple gear, And terrified players huddled in darked raidgroups, I let many to safety, but many more paid the ultimate price ( quitting) That day our beloved game became World of Noobcraft There the capitalists practised their twisted art that corrupted the game, that nearly killed it, Even after their reckless dumbing down our people were unable to find a lasting sanctuary, I remember the armies of tryhards that swept down at us like a plaque, During this dark times the one called casuals made the game its home, Then cam Warlords of Draenor.... The one which they called "The savior" The expansion after this one, And we thought we reclaimed our sacred ground I think even then a part of me knew that WoW traded one casual Xpac for another, I prefer the game as it used to be .... not the abomination that is has become, my soul bares the burden of their missjudgement, but i will be patient, i will waiting, ( so frist of i don´t think MoP was a bad expansion at all i think it was good, and when i saying casuals i talk about players who just want to get everything and wont "work" for it and earn it like one had to do this in times long forgotten by morst people ^^ just wanted to rewrite that what akama says xD no need to offence ^^ )

You are not prepared! My return awaits upon Azeroth...

I didn't know before, but the scythe-like blades Akama carries are called "Kama"

@Roshan3L: Impressive, you managed to do a simple calculation, kudos! Now what does that have to do with ANYTHING?

Man,Blizzard announced that the Black Temple will be the Alliance capital city in WoD, but in it's prime when it was known as Karabor. Looking at the raid now and how large the place is with all those floors and large chambers, it'll really be interesting to see it as a city with proffession trainers, banks, AH, NPCs roaming around, etc. I just hope it wont be only half of the temple or some bullshit like that. Nobody wants another joke for a city like those tiny 8-room shrines in Pandaria Can't wait to see how it looks in the glory days Akama spoke of, when it was a temple of worship and prosperity. I'm sure it'll look holy, draeneic, and gorgeous, but still have the familiarity of the BT we know today. So excited!

the story of illidan is fuckin epic!!

the music when illidan shows up and kaelthas talks about the demons epic

WoW back then ,when it was a good game

Actualy not the orcs come... you (draenei) come on their lands...

Wow...I wanted to see this again after I read the books. The Black Temple. It was once called "The Temple of Karabor". It was where the Draenai were. (can't spell their name.) And it was where Velen lived at the time. And in reality, THERE WERE THOUSANDS of Orcs. Not the amount you saw when that group was running up the stairs. This trailer touched me deeply. It did because I read the books. I just thought it was epic the first time I saw it with out reading the books. Now, it is sad.

I like how they show off Shadowsong in the back just before he says "... the betrayer will be betrayed".

The Black Temple, once known as Temple of Karabor, will be the Alliance main city on Draenor in the next expansion, I really want to see those orcs try to take it this time.

*sheds a tear*

Always goosebumps at the end

You know Drenar dude, saying that in a cinematic will make sure doesn't see it comming, I'm sure.

how do draenei become "the broken" and "the lost ones"

came here after seeing the remastered one

the music at 0:22(chanting?song?) is used over and over again in alot of wow trailers (as example wotlk PV when the pally goes Death Knight) and damn how i like those moments! for me that's when i feel how epic wow is!

Is that Maiev Shadowsong that walks behind him in the hall at 3:12-3:18? Never noticed that before ;o

Illidan was never evil in my opinion, i hate how he got the crappy end of the stick

I remember the game as it used to be. A place of fun and adventure. I remember too the day the pandas came

Yes, you are correct. I know that the World First Kill of Kael'Thas was by the guild Nihilum, the same guild that got World Firsts on all the Black Temple Bosses. You can look it all up on Wowpedia.

I've met you in Warcraft III and in the temple several times. Time machines. :D

I prefere to remember blizzard as they used to be. a place of great gaming. It was great then at peace. I remember too the day when the foul activision came. No single file was spared I lead many good gamers to safety but many more payed the ultimate gaming price. Then my beloved gaming company became the dark activision. There the dark agents of activision practised their dark magic. So they forced us to leave the game and search and search until we’d find a new one. I remember too the agents of activision sweaping down upon us like a plague. Then came the new blizzard the enemy of my enemy I prefere to remember the game as it used to be. Not the abomenation that it has become. And when the time is right activision will become the betrayed!

Young Akama was pretty damn handsome.

I feel your pain man. Honestly Kael was like a current day hard mode on crack. It was painful. Everyone in my guild was ecstatic when we got our first kill. TBC Noastalgia :(

2021 we re w8ing

2:58 My stance on Leafy currently...

i prefer to remember wow as it used to be...

As a nostalgia rush... and because they were around at the time.. I really, REALLY hope we get to see Grand Anchorite Akama and Vindicator Nobundo in Warlords of Draenor!

Raids took longer to complete back then, because they were bigger and generally more difficult then they are now. Also, im fairly certain the mount hyjal patch was released in that patch too (anyone who played can correct me if im wrong), so that was what, 14 bosses. In one patch? That was more bosses then were released on cata's release. They did release sunwell after that though, which most people didn't finish.

Illidan :"Magtheridon lures scores of hapless demons through them daily" Keal :"Then we must seal them, permanently" just did this level on frozen throne 2:20

I prefer to remember WoW as it used to be, not the abomination it has become.

I miss Illidan and Black Temple so much

And now we're going to see the black temple in warlords of draenor*-*

I prefer to remember WOW 5.*** ,not the abomination it has become
