The release of Wrath of the Lich King Classic is just around the corner and many of you asked if I could do a general overview on the story that goes down in the expansion. I really hope that doesn't mean some of you are planning to skip any of these quests given! Wrath of the Lich King is something else. Each zone packed with that good lore and interesting moments. Honestly, I wasn't overly hyped about the other classics, but this one...after working on this video... might need to make some time.
Right! I hope you'll enjoy ^_^

WoW used to be a very easy to follow story and that’s what I enjoyed most. Now we have half written narratives that take 3 expansions to cover, and no attempt at making new interesting characters.

I used to watch them as a teen and you made me get deeper into the background lore to the game and a whole new universe opened before my eyes :D You animated me to do the loremaster achievement and to read the quest logs and all that. Brought some WoW novels, especially the "Rise of the Lich King" was my favorite. Prior to that it was just farming xp, grinding inis etc., but then I started to interest me more into the world. Like, whats the story behind this ruin i am doing this quest right now in, and things like that^^

I loved the early story development, especially when you get the moment of realization of what's going on and what happened, like Muradin Bronzebeard storyline in the storm peaks, which as of this comment, I'm playing through, though their in game story telling has made great strides, not all of the story is there, but in books or other media, which is unfortunate, rather than other media adding onto existing story through other perspectives of the characters - hence why Pyromancer left us, kappa :(

I feel that Tirion Fordring was the real hero of wow, he is what players should of been. It was a damn shame that he was not brought back as a death knight in Legion, stopped by Lady Liadrin, perhaps because paladins obtained his weapon, but I feel he would of done a service without it. Even if he diden't wish to become a death knight, he could of done a lot more in the grand scheme of things in which his prior efforts shared, to defeat the legion and restore peace and justice, still could of done so as a death knight. He would of been under Bolvar again.

I had barely started playing back then, and I'm kind of sad that I didn't get to discover Northrend and Wrath's lore and story with prior knowledge and context, because this expac was peak Warcraft in all the right ways. We might've hit new gameplay highs and expanded the game in good ways after that, but I don't think any version of WoW ever felt as right in its feel, world building, lore *delivery*, story, characters, plot beats and atmosphere. We got huge lore building reveals that explained a lot yet only made the canon feel bigger and more mysterious; we got familiar and new characters having interesting arcs and plots in every moment and corners; and we got big hype/emotional moments that were earned and had lasting impact. It makes me want to replay every Northrend questline on Retail or keep up with Wrath Classic through the Patches, but I can't help the feeling that it just wouldn't be as good with modern canon/lore context in mind, it might soil it all - I'm tempted to leave it undisturbed in my memories as I experienced it through my young teens...

A large part of the problem with modern WoW is the story telling. BFA felt disjointed, like two different expansions smashed into one. We had to wait until the next expansion to find out the motivation behind the Sylvanas part of the story, and even then it was extremely lacking and poorly put together. Shadowlands was short on story, and not all of the storytelling was cohesive. Arden weald was beautiful, and the questing told an overall story, but what did any of it have to do with the story of the expansion?? And someone remind me what the motivation behind the Jailer's actions were again?

I feel the lore is not as exciting as it was back then - as someone mentioned - the writing was good then. They also had a TON of stuff they could use from Warcraft 3 yet - which seemed to pack a SHIT TON of stuff that could then be used to fuel soooo mannnny expansion! Blizz should have ended WoW at Legion, made a Warcraft 4 to introduce more lore/storylines/history/etc, and then they could have built a brand new engine for WoW, call it "WoW 2" and use Warcraft 4 as to fuel more expansion. /2cents (didnt' meant to write so much, love your lore vids, dude!)

Think it might've been a mistake to kill off arthas? I mean at that point he was less a character and more an integral part of the setting overall. The scourge has never been the overwhelming scary force it was since without him. Just knowing he was still around during classic just gave the experience an extra level of depth. Knowing you'd encounter him In some shape or form.

@Venakis1 Жыл бұрын

At the events of Warcraft 3 Arthas was a prince, so I guess he was quite young. World of Warcraft released 4 years after the events of the expansion The frozen throne and many staff happened before the Lich King was awaken (the opening of the Dark Portal and the Burning crusade). So I guess aproximately 15 or 20 years lorewise passed from the merging of Arthas with the Lich King till the day he was destroyed. That means Arthas is about 35 - 40 years old when he dies.

Frostmourne was part of ner'zhul, the OG lich King. During the events of warcraft 1 and 2 Ner'zhul became an incredible powerful but tortured soul who want nothing but pain, suffering and death upon all living things. Being trapped in icecrown, ner'zhul saw Arthas as a perfect champion to corrupt and carry out his will. Highly reccoment watching Nobbel's videos on Ner'zhul and on Arthas. They give a good perspective of why Ner'zhul became so evil and why Arthas was so easily corrupted
