[@everybodylieshm]

Seeing Metzen again just made me happy. Glad he's back! Great opening ceremony.

[@DontrelleRoosevelt]

Did you notice how clearly emotional he got? Awesome.

[@mausilugner6637]

The way Metzen makes everyone else look like extras with his presence is simply incredible.

[@JB-xl2jc]

It's not even that they did poorly, they were fine. It's just that Metzen is that great- knows the topic, genuinely has passion for it and has for decades, and always seemed genuine.

[@crimsontrickster]

Metzen got louder applause than the whole opening ceremony altogether.

[@crimsontrickster]

Anduin isn't the only one having PTSD from the Shadowlands...

[@Jessica-qy1kz]

😂

[@drakozash8153]

Its like Dad is back from buying milk after 10 years.

[@conswan57]

😂😂😂

[@ghostlightplays]

Hearing Metzen speak again about Warcraft gives me hope for Wow and maybe actually play again.

[@Turican76]

your clueless. WoW is good.

[@senbonzakurakageyoshi662]

It's good, yeah, but not for everyone@@Turican76

[@camiloalonso3709]

Paid actor

[@vladislavaukraine]

nope

[@RobertPearsonJr]

No one can tell the story of Warcraft the way he can.

[@cocs88715]

Yes they really needed Metzen back to pull this off!! We know the stage fear you have Metzen, so thank you thank you for carrying it through!

[@filthycasual8187]

Let's be real everyone. 12:05 is what we all came here for.

[@Owl_Knight98]

Yes! ❤

[@digbickb0i809]

Return of the King! Good job BlizzCon showing love for Papa Metzen!

[@RedFatDragon]

WarChief*

[@deathbyname23tv38]

started to tear up after he said its time to come home

[@DaniXP19]

12:05 Was the best part of BlizzCon for me. Terenas once said "No king rules forever" except he was mistaken: Chris Metzen was, is and always will be the King of (World of) Warcraft! HAIL TO THE KING BABY!

[@enigmabis.]

This was the best Blizzcon in the last 4 years for sure

[@NMDarkJourney]

lol

[@AkiRa22084]

C virus ruined so many gaming companies. Blizz might just pull themselves up.

[@EasoLV]

Very funny. The part with Metzen? Yes. But everything else, common.

[@ValkyrionX2]

World of Warcraft Con? yes. D4, OVW2 and Hearthstone? well sad for those games.

[@AkiRa22084]

@@ValkyrionX2 Those three got 2 expansions and new char. What else were you expecting?

[@thewalrus45]

God no one can do HYPE MAN stuff like Metzen.

[@ironknight84]

Hearing Chris live in blizzcon y a blessing, me being there in person in the blizzcon, achievement unlocked

[@44fruitella44]

I'm happy that Chris Metzen came back. He loves warcraft, most of old expansions were his idea and they worked.

[@darynamangeldiyev7493]

“Now is the time to come home” 🥺

[@Chemicgen1]

METZEN!!!!!!!!! MY HERO!!! BRING WoW BACK TO ITS FORMER GLORY!!!!!!

[@frankcastle9691]

Not going to happen, he's only back for Dat money.

[@Srsbzns_5150]

Chris Metzen coming back feels like wow's soul has returned 😊

[@Marie28081]

That fun bit where Anduin looks just like The Lich King when bringing his sword out...goosebumps!

[@uteopia]

Every memory that's was created within World of Warcraft over the past 20 years we all owe it Metzen it's so great to have him back ❤

[@Kagarin05]

Grats to Hurricane for making the main cinematics now for wow :) And of course, CHRISS!!!

[@Agonius]

This was the best Blizzcon in many years. Thank you for all of the hard work!

[@Avaelon]

Bruh, no new announces like W4, no news from survival ip that Blizz announced before, no remasters comin, just small updates and WoW stole the entire show. They should rename it WoWcon or MetzenCon 2023.

[@Cakalank]

@@Avaelon huh? WoW was always the main stage in blizzcon. it's their biggest game. where were you for the past 15 years?

[@senbonzakurakageyoshi662]

Wasn't always the casse, but yeah@@Cakalank

[@oktober-vh6gl]

sorry bruh, no one plays Lost Vikings any longer... get over it.@@Avaelon

[@NMDarkJourney]

boy you excite easily then.

[@JoeNovacks]

so many amazing memories when Chris Metzen speaking to older blizzcon's and finaly yes he's Back!So now it's the time to play world of warcraft,and that is for real!!Tnx god you listen my prays!

[@xxargonautxx9790]

It’s so blizzcon with Chris out there speaking to us. GEEK IS!!!

[@Hatrian95]

Metzen is legendary and fill my heart with hope for Warcraft, welcome back!!

[@MarkusJevring]

Metzen really just did this whole thing in Thrall's voice, didn't he...

[@h.3.x]

Seeing this made my heart sing. It feels like I'm thrown back in time with the feeling this evoked in me! I'm now, truly, excited to see what Warcraft will become with Metzen back. ♥

[@derekisazombie39]

You couldn’t ask for better leaders of WoW, Holly and Chris are MMO legends.

[@Mandrarine]

So glad to see Metzen back! Please please please let this really be the Blizzard storytelling redemption arc...

[@batliff]

Way to play on those emotions, well done.

[@vladoz9299]

Got to say, that animation with Thrall and Anduin looked so real!!

[@Galvick143]

It all sounds epic, and amazing to have Chris back! But it also sounds hella expensive...

[@mihneaadr]

They got Microsoft money now

[@radiationwow]

Happy to have Metzen back

[@Dxj90]

Metzen, my king, my warchief

[@EdwinHeida]

Gorgeous cinematic. I''ll check out the expansion(s) for sure.

[@Xenomorph1508]

Chris Metzen is the GOAT

[@KonaFocus]

Finally, lore may work its way back into WoW.

[@vojtik135]

Lore was always there. It just got too complex for some people.

[@julio4771]

With Bobby gone and Metzen back I'm strongly considering returning to Azeroth.

[@roflBJ]

Thats the direction we like to see. Seriously considering getting back and tbh Metzen would sell me even the horse pond. GJ

[@Mortiferous89]

Welcome back to the stage metzen! god we've missed you!

[@DontrelleRoosevelt]

Chris has always been Blizzard's rockstar!

[@darklaur5566]

Welcome back chris, now the game will realy get back to the way it was before

[@zelashizzz1278]

Been playing since '05... hard to believe it's been that long..

[@Desperado070]

[@Ina9158]

[@jaylowry4082]

Anyone else picture Thrall giving the announcements every time Metzen spoke?

[@irethena]

The prodigal son has returned, we love you Metzen! ❤

[@borisfrlic]

Metzen is Warcraft.

[@reecegarysmith7613]

Midnight and the last titan are gonna be amazing hope they put effort in and revamp them zones

[@ghostshell438]

The 14th expansion is Hello Kitty Island Adventure ofcourse.

[@Elathar007]

Chris Metzen Entrance was better than any WWE Wrestling Entrance... HE IS BACK !!!!

[@Furycain]

So...no wotlk-only servers :? Sadge...one of their best expansion deserves Wotlk-Only servers.

[@Shadowiff]

Was hoping for hardcore wrath

[@Uouttooo]

Metzen: You are called to do what you have always done: . . . . . . . . . . . farm 20 wild boar hearts.

[@fertuzenok]

WELCOME HOME MY GREATEST WARCHIEF

[@rondyreeves4772]

Isle of Dorn? FOR THE IMPERIUM, MY BATTLE-BROTHERS! The Black Templars march and the Xenos and Witch shall pay!

[@RafaelOSilva-de5td]

Metzen just came in like Jesus in that vídeo Jesus’ Betrayal from Ethereal Snake, beating the haters out of blizzcon. Blessed Metzen 🙌

[@navyflyboy07]

The Army of the Light stands ready to fight alongside you once more my King!! For the Light!! For Azeroth!!

[@Opahyagenn]

NERUBIANS!! FINALLY! They needed love yesterday.

[@x1plus1x]

[@aguraki]

if anyone can turn WoW's story around its Metzen.

[@jackburton5239]

[@ashkankhazaee128]
