[@KingdomAce]

WoW Classic is officially installed on my computer. We move 🙏🏾🔥

[@TheAsagrim]

you have to play season of discovery

[@KingdomAce]

Thats part of classic right?

[@UndeadPandaLegion]

FYi you won't get all the retail races in classic

[@primary2630]

It's the new season that came out, it features a bunch of new things that aren't part of classic. Might not be the best start to get the actual classic experience.@@KingdomAce edit: when you pick a realm, at the bottom it will say "Seasonal", "Hardcore", and then "Classic"

[@havenless3551]

@@KingdomAce It's a specific server on Classic that started fresh very recently, and it's being experimental by adding new content to the original game. I don't think it'll give you the real Classic experience honestly, and the hype will die out in between content patches most likely once it's been played out. Could be good for seeing some of the end-game and social aspects of the game tho

[@Masq1980]

11:43 during the scene of Arthas returning to Lordaeron - if you go into the Undercity, you can see the bell fallen and the path Arthas walked where he was showered in rose petals, you can see the stain of them on the ground and in the throne room before you go into the elevators to go into the city proper - turn up your sound, turn the music down and turn the ambience up and you can hear the conversation between him and his father in whispers. And on the ground in front of the throne you can see the blood splatters on the stones from where the crown rolled. It's really awesome how Blizzard puts in these little easter eggs and such.

[@kabrozkabroz]

I love watching new people get into it, take it a step at a time while you're interested, don't let anyone push you around on here, as the fandom can get a little pushy and I don't want the worst among them to make you feel like we have the worst internet community to associate with lmao. I promise it just has bad actors like any other community. Saying this because this is the stream where he got hassled by a few over the top messages from some super gung ho viewers that want to treat him like a fraud for not watching THE ENTIRETY of every single in game warcraft 3 cutscene that stream. Touch grass!

[@HikaruItashi]

Boo on the ones that didn't give him a chance! Everyone deserves a chance to break into this amazing universe of content and story. Unfortunately, this community is always why I don't ever want to tank or heal. I'm afraid if I make one mistake that I'll be crucified by the masses. But also why the next patch is awesome because you'll get to practice such roles with rather... supportive NPCs . Humanity... please take note. We can grow strong together, not by tearing each other down.

[@exxor9108]

I agree here. He doesn't have to watch every single cutscene or video. And those who are kind and have patience, can help him fill in any gaps he might be missing. The Warcraft lore is absolutely amazing, and while I myself don't know everything, I'd do what I can to help him learn more about it.

[@Vaishino]

I still love that the intros for the various WoW races are narrated by the voice of Terenas Menethil. Sadly the actor passed away, so newer races are introduced by different voice actors.

[@AikanaroSauron]

I love how he conducts the narrative with the intonations of the voice, especially in the Forsaken one. Stellar.

[@MissionaryMan]

He played Dr Silbermen in Terminator.

[@veronique9823]

I see you mentioning 'the son'/'the prince' a lot and I see a lot of new players confuse the two so there are two 'sons'/princes': Arthas Menethil, son of King Terenas Menethil, who was ruler of the kingdom of Lordaeron (now occupied by the Forsaken). Arthas was once a Paladin of the light but came under corruption by the Lich King Ner'zhul, and eventually succumbed to the corruption & became the new Lich King - these events happened in WC3 & we eventually brought him down in the WoW's 3rd expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. Arthas slew his own father & you saw that happen in one of the cutscenes. The 2nd prince is Anduin Wrynn, son of Varian Wrynn, who you saw in the Legion cinematic/the cinematic at the end of Mists of Pandaria where they were choosing how to judge Garrosh Hellscream (the brown orc). Varian Wrynn was the king of Stormwind until he passed in events that happened in the Legion expansion, and Anduin took up the helm as king of Stormwind. He's still alive so I won't go too much into his current story as to avoid potential spoilers. Cheers, have fun in WoW classic!

[@RogunK]

Illidan wasn't actually a bad guy or a good guy. One of those in the middle that fought against the bad guys but believed that you had to get your hands dirty to defeat the bad guys and would go beyond what the normal good guys would do to win. If someone good saw a path to victory but realized they would have to give up their "honor" or "morales" to achieve that victory, a lot of them would stop or try to find a different path. Illidan wouldn't do that since he can already see a path to victory, his morality and honor be damned.

[@HikaruItashi]

One of the best descriptions of Illidan ever. Weirdly... I'll steal from batman. He isn't the hero that Azeroth deserves... but the hero that it needs.

[@courtneylconover80]

Illidan is an anti-hero. Doing bad things for the greater good.

[@greatmightypanda]

He's definitely a bad guy - don't let Legion's plot completely ignore Burning Crusade. He's a bit like The Punisher or John Wick though. Not a good guy at all, but his revenge quest is so all consuming that sometimes his actions coincides with what we want and so we're happy to go along for the ride. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

[@courtneylconover80]

@@greatmightypanda I wholly disagree. He did everything for the right reasons, so he's an antihero.

[@greatmightypanda]

@@courtneylconover80 Did you not read my comment? You realise antiheros are still bad guys right? Both the comparisons I gave are also antiheros. An antihero is still a bad guy and the consequences of Illidan's choices are what allowed so much of the bad in Warcraft. No Illidan, no sunwell, no Kel'thuzad, no second invasion for example. And that's not even considering what he got up to while ruling Outland which is, you know, the reason he's the villain of an entire expansion.

[@curiousoddity]

Man I just watched your other hour long reaction video to the cinematic compilation, and was just thinking to myself that I want to see more of your WoW content, and you upload this. New sub earned.

[@DiddysPower41]

1:22:34 Once Arthas picked up the sword in Northrend it took his soul and trapped it turning him into a Death Knight. The sword drove him to the helm and armor which it shows in game the original Lich King (the spirit of an Orc named Ner'zhul) calling out to Arthas to go to him. Realistically the sword is manipulating Arthas. Theres a book based on Arthas that explains more and in Shadowlands we find out the main antagonist (the Jailer) was apparently the one manipulating Arthas through the sword.

[@avasizzle11]

Watching this with you is one of the best Nostalgia trips I've been on from starting this journey as a kid all those years ago. Love your reaction content and how into it you are!

[@gorgeouszan]

To answer your question about what happens when you join a side; Both factions follow the same main plot line, but many zones and quests are uniquely available to your specific faction for the early potions of the game and some of the later expansions as well. Occasionally you'll see different viewpoints as well, there's a handful of cinematics even that you'll see different versions of depending on which side of the conflict you're on.

[@Tomha]

There's a guy named Platinum WoW on youtube I would recommend. He makes videos helping explain the Lore of Warcraft with a side of comedic snark. Jokes aside, his stuff is pretty accurate and worth checking out if you wanna learn about WoWs lore.

[@Bresagk]

Platinum Wow is more comedy than lore, would recommended someone like Nobbel instead of him.

[@sjsr1067]

I agree, Nobbel is the best for lore. @@Bresagk

[@Akeche]

@@BresagkComedy with lore, much more entertaining. Nobbel is kind of... rambly.

[@Shadeyez]

Fun fact! The lich king is the only raid boss to canonically have defeated us in the story. in the fight he actually wipes the raid and you need to be ressurected by his father.

[@ElloaWendy]

I really loved to watch your reaction to all those videos and to see the informations you were picking up from them! There is so much more in game cinematic, but here the author tried to make something that made sense a little bit, especially at the end, so there would be more of a story to follow. I have played WOW since feb 2005 (the release in Europe) and it has been such an important game for me. Beautiful to see someone getting into all those cinematic I have been feeling through!

[@everythinggamingnow]

13:17 you can go to this exact place in the game, and you'll not only see the blood still on the floor near the steps to the throne, but depisite this place being in ruins now and taken over by the forsaken (sylvanas and her people) you can still hear the bell ringing, despite bell being broken and on the floor in front of you. Very neat little thing, that can be easily missed by quickly walking through the area, as the bell noise is quiet

[@kakarottuzumaki4346]

13:48 Min.: Remeber the fight where Sylvannas screams "FOR THE HORDE!" And Anduin screams after a mass rez: "Stand as ONCE for the Allience!" THIS is the same place but only some years after this happens what you see there ^^

[@alittleaccurate3080]

Mannoroth was the pit demon slain by Grom Hellscream by Gorehowl(the axe)

[@Rikksmith]

The lament of the highborne(the song sylvanas sings) here is the translated version of it: By the light, by the light of the sun Children of the blood Our enemies are breaking through Children of the blood By the light Failing children of the blood They are breaking through O' children of the blood By the light of the sun Failing children of the blood They are breaking through O' children of the blood By the light of the sun The sun. they are singing about the fall of the High elves/blood elves

[@chrono5108]

this is actually kind of awesome seeing someone with little to no exposure tackle wow. I enjoy seeing your brain work as you try to piece the story together. I look forward to the streams!

[@Scribblersys]

Something that's confusing (since it's not really clear watching things unless you're looking at a map) is that there are two major Human kingdoms: Lordaeron in the north where Arthas is from, and Stormwind in the south where King Varian and Anduin are from.

[@courtneylconover80]

Orcs came from the planet Draenor. They opened a portal b/c their world was ending, and they needed to escape. Gul'Dan was in charge, you saw the portal being built in one of the other cinematics. The movie Warcraft actually shows that time. The clan leaders, Durotan and Draka, crossed just to be killed by Gul'Dan's soldiers, but their baby that had just been born, THRALL (or Go'el) was able to escape b/c Draka sent him down river.

[@Tandran]

Theres two sets of royalty for the Humans - Lordaeron and Stormwind. The Wrynns rule Stormwind - King Llane -> Varian -> Anduin. Lordaeron was ruled by the Menethils - King Terenas Menethil was killed by his son Arthas causing the kingdom to fall to the Scourge and later the Forsaken. It was nearly reclaimed by The Alliance but Sylvannas released blight within the city making it uninhabitable.

[@SwalesNailsBeauty]

Athelarius is also great for in game cinematics and added cinematics together to show the entire storyline circling around that certain piece of lore. Forgot to mention him in your last video's comments section :D

[@vir9002]

Most of the villains you face in wow went like "All the roads to Hell are paved by good intentions." Each with his or her own story as to why and how they ended up being a big baddie in the game, most started out wanting to do good for their own specific people, all were corrupted by "evil" rather, that is an OldGod or Demon of legion, because of their personal desires to do so no matter the cost. I noticed your confusion come up with some of the clips evolving around newly introduced "Dungeon or raid" content. Amani Trolls for instance were introduced along with a new Dungeon, and have never joined with the Horde. Trolls had several tribes, you play as a Troll in the Darkspear tribe. Several other of the clips were from other new Raids and Dungeons that just follow with one baddie or another as their final stand, that you as a player need to eliminate, along with a ton of other players in a Raid. heh. Oh, and some of them were clips introducing new PvP Battlegrounds as well!

[@HikaruItashi]

This video was a trip because I think the one I just watched before was technically after this one... so you in that one you would refence this video, but then be making new connections and revelations in the older vid. Made me feel like a time-traveler. lol But another great vid!

[@cipaternet]

This video was really fun, though I wish the cutscene audio were higher because when I have the video loud enough to hear it you are positively booming over it. Looking forward to more Warcraft related content though!

[@reginaldjones7027]

1:12:01 when you go to undercity make sure its the past and wait or you have to get her music box to listen whenever

[@someonesomething7591]

The song at 1:11:40 is called Lament of the highborn

[@nergal9668]

Awesome this has the Warcraft 3 videos I was hoping you'd see before you started playing!

[@Morelyia]

You got me at the edge of my seat waiting for you to watch all the rest now! XD

[@KingdomAce]

Editing the next part of this as we speak! It will be up in a few hours, ive got you!! 🙏

[@Morelyia]

@@KingdomAce woooo lets go! Love watching people watch all this for the first time! Wish you stumbled upon this insane compilation the first time around would be a much more put together experience the first time around (and even then there are still some bits and pieces missing but idk if you'd find better than this) Also interesting little lore tidbit for youany if the races in this game are technically not native to Azeroth (even humans are not technically from azeroth). All different types of Elves evolved from the same trolls (native species) in different conditions and environments. Of the playable races: Dracthyr, (all) Elves, Goblins, Pandaren, Tauren, Trolls, Vulpera, Worgen (human worgen are NOT native but technically night elf worgen would be) are native species to Azeroth. The rest are either evolved titan constructs or aliens from other planets. Crazy wild right?

[@Stickarms99]

To clarify some stuff about the Alliance and Horde for you: The Horde is basically a faction of misfits and outcasts. They aren't necessarily evil, but their races consist of races that are traditionally treated as evil in fantasy media. Generally, races and factions that have been in some way shunned by the rest of the world can find sanctuary among the ranks of the Horde. The orcs came from another world called Draenor, which was destroyed by chaotic, demonic magic. They built a portal that lead them to Azeroth, where they began expanding their domain (which happened to encroach on that of the humans who already lived there). Originally, the Horde only consisted of orcs who were seeking refuge from Draenor; but as war played out between them and the humans, they picked up some of the other races that were not treated particularly well by humans. The Alliance, by contrast, was originally a pact between the human kingdoms, the dwarves, and the high elves, its intention to defend the continent of the Eastern Kingdoms from the new threat of the orcish Horde. It was originally called the Alliance of Lordaeron, actually, since Lordaeron was the strongest and most prominent kingdom at the time... but we all know what happened there. Since that point, they've picked up allies from a few other races and factions that had their own beef with the Horde. The night elves, for example, were kinda neutral and doing their own thing in Kalimdor, until the Horde came to their continent and started destroying their forests so that they could build their new home. The night elves then joined the Alliance out of convenience, because they were pissed off at the Horde. It's very important to understand that neither faction is good or evil. This game's lore is filled with moral ambiguity; sometimes the Alliance is in the right, sometimes the Horde is, sometimes they're both the victims and sometimes they're both the bad guys. A lot of the conflict between them roots from a fundamental incompatibility of difficult circumstances, rather than one side being more good or evil than the other. Not always, but a lot of the time.

[@UndeadPandaLegion]

You can see all the races you can play as on the official website

[@Auszar023]

6:40 technically, the actual natives of Azeroth are the trolls (the elves as well since they were evolved by living near the Well of Eternity). Humans, Dwarves, and Gnomes are "aliens" to Azeroth because they were originally crafted there by the Titans, and the Orcs invaded Azeroth via The Dark Portal.

[@kakarottuzumaki4346]

16:46 Min.: Yes this is the same and i say it so: Garosh traveled back in time to prevent this form happening. The hole trailor form Warlords of draenor is a call back to this video :D

[@Alexandros.Mograine]

I like that you understand the basic plot from what you see.

[@zerocool7141]

Draenai are in fact referred to as Space Goats

[@thevannmann]

Have you seen the expansion trailers? The ones that list what was added.

[@-Miasimon]

Real curious what you're going to end up playing as. Note, each race has its own starting zone (but with some travel, can quest in another race's starting zone) and for the most part the factions have their own questing experience. Take your time, explore, and don't forget to read the quest text. Not just for story, either. Some quests have some funny tidbits in the text (like one quest telling you to bring someone some crab meat. And she tells you she'll make sure everyone knows that you "give her crabs").

[@abbiejo6822]

There’s an orc grunt’s attempted “scientific notes” on silithid in the barrens that’s absolutely hilarious.

[@Bendak91]

If you didn't get them to fully explain it, there were two different human kings, Arthas's father, and Arthas, and then there is Andiun and his father you see in the Cinematics for WOW.

[@urdnotwrex6969]

Therenas, his son Arthas who never became a king (rather lich king) since the kingdom of Loarderon was destroyed. Another king was Varian Wrynn of Stormwind and his son Anduin who became later King. There were 7 or 8 human kingdom tbh so king doesnt mean he rules every other human kingdom.

[@Regentwill]

BTW friendo just FYI there always has to be a lich king because they are mindless. The army follows the thoughts of the Lich King (Whomever wears the crown.) Without the helm, the undead go berserk and attack and kill anything and everything they come into contact with. They're still bigbad, but with a Lich King there is still some semblance of control

[@Vurthak]

bro illidan and kael were the bomb in WC3. starting wow broke my heart - making them the arch-villains.

[@kadinzaofelune]

I am not sure if anyone commented this, but the orcs were aliens from the planet Draenor. They were brought through the Dark Portal, but have now been on Azeroth since the orginal Warcraft game. Also the Draenei dude at 14:06 are aliens from that planet. They crashed on Azeroth in their spaceship fleeing the Burning Legion, the green fire guys.

[@damiencarle8344]

If you do end up streaming the game, i'd love for the stream vods to be uploaded on youtube if possible

[@kakarottuzumaki4346]

[@sapalanxd6724]

54:44 that orcs is frostmourne (arthas sword) his soul is inside the sword.

[@srkares]

59:30 seems some people have already mentioned it, but yeah, at times you get either entirely different quests/stories for one faction vs the other or you get a different viewpoint of certain stories. one of my favorite examples is in the revamped barrens there is a questline on alliance side that starts with an ambassador wanting to negotiate peace with the horde in that zone, but you later find him strung up on a tree, seemingly killed by the horde. you investigate and find out that warmongering nobles within the alliance ordered his assassination and to make it look like the horde did it. im shaky on the horde side of things, despite playing it a couple times, but iirc they know literally of none of this happening. also you never find out who is actually behind it all, only get as far as some middle-men, fairly sure. later on in the zone however, the horde receives info of a small village being attacked by the alliance and nearly all civilians having been killed and the place ransacked. understandably they are furious. on alliance side you learn that the force commander had actually ordered to leave a corridor open for the civis to escape, but said order was ignored by the warmongering (and often racist) elements within the alliance army. and again, shaky on it, but fairly certain horde doesnt learn of those good intentions either, not that it would matter much. later on in the video there should be the wrathgate cinematic and thats also a case of a splinter groups actions being perceived as horde being aggressive towards alliance and breaking their pact.

[@srkares]

as to what your PCs role is... its a bit complicated. at base level your are just an adventurer, as the race-intros point out. but eventually you become so prolific that you are granted high ranks in your respected militaries and are invited to leadership councils and granted super important tasks. but you are not *the* person that changes the fate of the world. at most you are part of a group of adventurers that took out the big bad. in the Legion expansion they also tried to focus more on players classes with "guild" halls (as in paladins guild or priests guild), which gave some exclusive missions with juicy lore in them. every now and again there are also other class-exclusives, like questlines for legendary weapons, as far back as vanilla WoW. one of the viewers put it well, saying its the story about the world... but eventually it turns out that some champions are connected to the world in a way.

[@Kronical69420]

Before you play we should watch a Class breakdown vid so you got an idea of what your getting into. As someone whos been playing Warcraft since the RTS, Im totally in on this journey youre on.

[@HikaruItashi]

I'm with you! I hope he gets a great breakdown/timeline of what's going on.

[@noway1668]

The "prophet" from WC3 is named Medivh. He is/was the Guardian of Tirisfal. It was his job to protect the world from the demons of the Burning Legion i.e. the giant space goat that destroyed the city by making sand castles and then got himself exploded at the world tree. Medivh was possessed by the leader of the Legion at one point and is the one responsible for opening the portal that allowed the orcs to invade this planet while they were under the influence of Mannoroth's blood which made them able to ignore any blow that was non-lethal as well as made them blood thirsty.

[@nogum9763]

the only reason i played human is bg the armour looks good on them, and the Paladin class fits really well with it, but my fav race or species is dwarf

[@OgresStump]

You missed a lot from the other video. im just starting this one. i love watching people learning about WoW/Warcraft lore

[@goskawow1943]

You really needed to include the "scenes" that were done using game animation to make it all make sense when it comes to WC3

[@drowzydullahan]

Technically, the only native races that are playable, that are truly from Azeroth, would be the Tauren, Pandaren, Trolls, and all the elf races. Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes, and a ton of other races were forcibly evolved from constructs made by the titans.

[@benpower5599]

Thanks!

[@steffenkran6074]

Medhiv, the guy we think is a good guy, than we think he is a bad guy and now we think is he the good and we are the bad guys? Wow lore is crazy

[@Staubzs]

about arthas there is a lot of recon done to fit in "domination magic" for shadowlands so yea..

[@Zaiqahal]

Sounds like either Undead or Tauren may be your race.

[@kakarottuzumaki4346]

1:11:04 Min.: Thats undercity, the former Lorederon and now days the main hub of the forsaken :D

[@Endslikecrazy]

Bit of a shame you didnt watch the remastered cinematics/cutscenes for warcraft, but 1 thing i really like.. i've watched a couple of people get into the wow lore by watching all cutscenes etcetera but most of them always come to these weird unlogical conclusions, but you have such a better understanding of the lore already just by watching these videos which is kinda nice to see. Someone in chat mentioned it and its definitely highly recommended, get some platinum wow videos in there. Especially the one with the scarlet crusade and the one with the trolls are gold. And i dont know if someone in chat might've mentioned it but the lich king one shots everyone in the raid when he gets to 10% or something like that and starts a whole speech about how he suped us up to kill us and resurrect us as death knights under his control. It was only the lights plot armor that ended it all technically

[@kakarottuzumaki4346]

41:08 Min.: The Ugly guys are the Horde and the Bloodelves are the Horde and the Nightborne. So basicly Nightborne, Bloodelves, Vulpera and every outher Ugly race. Oki its gaves also in the Alli ugly once. Mechagnomes for exaple. Or Worgen... Or gnomes and dwarfs. But the rest of the alli are pretty races ^^

[@rogerstalder7184]

About Arthas. he cut out his Heart before he sit down at the frozen throne, and let go of the rest what was Arthas. so for your question, he wasnt realy manipulated at the first plaace when he killd all those peoples in stratholme. He was critical before he even got the sword and got corrupted. The helm of domination only gave him the rest. There 3 Sisters called Windrunner, plus they have even an younger brother. There few familys who are several expansions relevant. Old kings like Thrall or Magni who are still around. But to be fair. those 19 years what WoW is around now, are only about 15 years in game time. There isnt much time past since Vanilla. Anduin was a Child in the very first expansion the burning crusade, and a teenager in battle for azeroth.

[@levantine1142]

Bolvar later on became the lich king. The burnt up guy had to take over. And he does not have a son. He has a daughter.

[@petejones6827]

i was reading your chat in world of warcraft what race you choose does effect the perspective of the story you get it from whichever side you choose sometimes its the same sometimes its different its like real life two people can see the same thing but have different views on it nowadays wow is made so no matter what you play itsd the same experience but in og wow it made a huge diff what you chose to play there was different gear choices hell different dungeons unless you broke into the city you wasnt runnin the starting dungeon in the opposite faction or death hopped. different quest chains even in the same faction now you can be a human and go to night elf and get the quest chains from there but most people just stayed where they started until like 10-15 and then just went to human starting zone or orc starting zone for protection from opposite faction and quests were closer together. but there was even class specific quests back in the day THOSE WERE THE SHIT. some really strong gear if you did them early.

[@luftingaming1469]

Warcraft III such a gem of a have

[@kakarottuzumaki4346]

59:22 Min.: The Start of the Story is diffrence and some dialoge Changed if you have a diffrent race but sadlyonce between this small changes not realy much more but yeah its would make sense ^^

[@kakarottuzumaki4346]

6:44 Min.: The Orks arent form Azeroth. They are form Draenor so yeah the BASICLY be aliens :D

[@HermanHansensk8]

I swear to god there is so much lore, trailers, cutscenes, cinematic, books about Lordaeron and wow in general. We could have like 25 seasons if we got an anime.

[@urdnotwrex6969]

41:30 many ppl pointing out that night elves are part of the alliance and blood elves are part of the horde. Again simply yes but little bit of lore. Elves there are many types of elves and as expansions went they were added to these two factions respectivelly. The main part of Alliance since Warcraft 1 were Humans, High Elves (Sylvanas Windrunner was High Elf before killed and changed to banshee queen), Dwarves and Gnomes. The main part of Horde since Warcraft 1 were Orcs, Goblins and Ogres (you cant yet play as Ogre since devs said that it would need to create bigger doors in game world which would look horrible for other races or something along those lines). Now, about the elves, why are Blood Elves in Horde? Well High Elves were racially terrorized by some Human kingdoms and after the Sunwell thing (Were Sylvanas Windrunner died defending the road to the city of High Elves by undead army of Arthas who wanted to ressurect Kel Thuzad necromancer in that Sunwell) High Elves got addicted to magic and they were sucking everything just for bit of magic. They were casted away (only Blood Elves, some High Elves are still part of Alliance but you cant play as one, well maybe now you can in new expansions I played just up to BFA) from Alliance. After Warcraft 3, Night Elves joined ranks of Alliance and Trolls with Taurens joined the Horde. So now in vanilla WoW you can choose from Dwarves, Humans, Gnomes and Night Elves as playable alliance characters and for Horde you can choose between Orcs, Trolls, Taurens and Undead. Oh yeah Undead....well after the Warcraft 3, Sylvanas Windrunner tried to find and unite all the roaming sensible undeads and call her faction as Forsaken who dont kill living things senselessly (tho they did most of the warcrimes in the game). Lore wise, Goblins are now part of the Horde as playable characters but up to Cataclysm datadisk, they were just neutral forces looking for a money. Like capitalistic guys who would sell their moms to anybody just for some money.

This still isn't all of them. These are just trailers and patch trailers, with a couple of the in game ones thrown in. There are still quest cutscenes, and the multi-part pre-expansion still animation shorts.

[@Hawkens4k]

Might i recommend you check out Hurricanes wow trailers?

[@exxor9108]

Some of the draenei, surprisingly de-evolved because of some corruptive magic that acted as a disease.

[@leejaix8792]

shouldnt the stormwind cutscene/cinematic have said ruled by King Varian???

[@mikhailmedvedev3209]

no way there is no illidan vs arthas duel included

[@teganismxx]

If we could have a tiiiiiiiiiiny bit more game audio next time you record that'd be FABULOUS.

[@Jeyshara]

FYI - if you need something else later on, after WoW - Star Citizen Ship Commercials (and some other stuff) makes quite an awesome content :)

[@DirtCheapFU]

If you can get past the copyright music. You should check out some old Vanilla-TBC-LK-Cata, non-classic era, WoW PVP. Drakedog, Adouken, Grim, Perklunt, Bahjeera(for the humor), etc.

[@Da_Bashi]

Kinda surprised no one told the real origin of the draenei. The draenei are actually from the planet argus and are technically not called draenei but eredar. The group of individuals, who call themselves draenei are rather a rebellious group of eredar, who follow the high prophet Velen in his fight against the burning legion and their 2 Eredar commanders Kil'jaeden and Archimonde. They fled argus and seeked refuge on draenor, where the orcs lived and soon a war betwen the orcs and the draenei started, because the draenei are zealous followers of the light and the orcs literally got enslaved by guldan with the demonblood (which again is the doing of the burning legion). On a site note: In wow the light is often associated with life, holiness and being the "good" site yet it still turns its followers into fanatics and therfore cant be really called the "good" site. I feel like this is an core element of WoW, because the orcs are also always considered the bad ones yet they are technically refugees, who fled from the war on draenor after being manipulated by guldan and sargeras. The later orcs (of the new horde under thrall) are technically no aggressors and suffer from the acts of their ancestors. Same for the undead. Always considered the bad guys yet they only fight to 1. Take revenge on arthas for raising them as undead and 2. Because they are hunted as abominations, while they kinda just want to get used to their new existence and be allowed to be "alive". And about illidan... well probably one of the most tragic figures in WoW along with Sylvanas, Arthas and Gamon (lel). He was once a powerful night elf mage and was one of those , if not the only one, powerful enough to fight against the burning legion. But to gain more power he sacrificed those under his command to consume their arcane power and become stronger. He saved many lifes in exchange for a few but still the night elves imprisoned him for consuming the power of his own people and using arcane magic (arcane magic was considered a no go amongst night elves as this very arcane magic lured the burning legion to azeroth). He was imprisoned 10000 years and watched by maiv shadowsong but later managed to escape and joinde the burning legion as a double agent to get more knowledge about the demons also consumed fel energy to become a demon himself. Later on in the story his reputation is redeemed by forming the demonhunters (elves, who consumed demon energy) and fighting against sargeras.

[@CadarnTheMad1810]

OK WoW lore nerd checking in, so, this is from memory about the races of Azeroth: HORDE Trolls, the sentiant original race Tauren, another original race, but way more spiritual and into the ancestors Bloof Elves - will explain under night elves, but these were more banished magic wielders Undead (Forsaken) - former humans and elves turned undead and broken free of the Lich King Control Goblins - From the isle of Kazan Orcs - yup aliens, from the planet Draenor - driven to blood lust by drinking demon blood and sent to Azeroth to conquor for the Burning Legion ALLIANCE Dwarves - from the earth (Earthen Race) effexted by the curse of flesh Gnomes - mechanical beings also effected by the curse of flesh Humans - deformed Valkyr (they were small for their race) Night Elves - Evolved from Trolls Draenei - also aliens, the tenticle face space goats, driven from Dreanor by the orcs Oh and edit cause I forgot to say the Burning Legion, led by the mad titan, made up of demons So, if you want to know anything, hit me up, but the Nobbler (Nobble87) best guy to explian wow lore

[@CadarnTheMad1810]

oh, and the Arthas story line needs to be made into a TV series, and MUST br played by the Nerd King himself Henry Cavill

[@BurorySJN]

Hey chat. Waiting room for part two: day one

[@zzmr_stretchzz8772]

fun random facts = arthas did nothing wrong till the sword. in the lore and the devs have said this (the ones who created the fuckin story not new devs) that the entire city was going to turn if he didnt kill them all even though its supposed to show him taking the wrong steps along his dark path but unironically it was the right path. also youll see "garrosh did nothing wrong" or "garrosh true warcheif" basically around the god emperor trump meme became a thing so did garrosh again and while not directly tied are very similar memes

[@dragneel1967]

like mentioned by a viewer Illidan is voiced by Liam O'Brien in World of Warcraft from Burning Crusade onward but in Warcraft 3 and its expansions he was voiced by Matthew Yang King and honestly between him and Malfurion Illidan is the better of the twins....Illidan is quite literally misunderstood...sorry i simp hard for Illidan

[@myrkrormr]

you should also react to Star Craft 2 cutscenes/cinematics and Diablo 3/4 cutscenes/cinematics :D

[@mehere6865]

i used to think playing a gilnean would be cool but all the races get Racial traits, blood elves can suck mana up Trolls Berserk Goblins get extra gold humans get diplomacy and a get out of jail free ability and dranie get a useful healing buff. Meanwhile Gilneans, don't have that pounce and slash attack that would be useful or being able to climb up roof tops like feral werewolves. instead, they get the ability of running a bit faster! i mean WHHHHYYYY!? they become their own ground mount for gods sake!

[@Retnoob]

Let's hear it for my Scarlet Crusade homies! Woo! Send those Forsaken straight to the Nether!

[@MrWardonis]

Post the vods on KZbin for the rest of us

[@KingdomAce]

They may not be VODS, but they'll likely be more cut-up, and catered content. A lot of fluff taken out and keeping the adventure. If the stream was 4 hours it may be a 2 hour video for example. Still thinking on it.

[@MrWardonis]

@KingdomAce i never watch twitch. Ads are way too intrusive and I don't really have time for streams in general. I watch vids while doing other stuff, can't be interactive like streamers need.

[@kakarottuzumaki4346]

0:24 Min.: Im glad that you enjoi World of Warcraft! :3 I love this game and be happy to see if outhers enjoi it also :D

[@kakarottuzumaki4346]

1:06:46 Min.: This is bolvar. The guy that you misstaken as arthas in the shadowlands video :D You see now WHO he gets so dark skined XD

[@exxor9108]

Man... Garrosh acted pretty damn stupidly throughout the time he was alive. All he was fixated on, was "death to the Alliance". And he would do anything, and everything, to see that happen. He could not see the forest for the trees, nor did he ever care to.

[@kakarottuzumaki4346]

35:18 Min.: Nope. Sylvannas is a High Elve. NOT a night elve. And she is also a undead and a banshe if you take it fully corect is she a forsaken ^^ Tyrande Wisperwind is for exaple a nightelve ^^

[@kakarottuzumaki4346]

12:16 min.: Nope Arthas have nothing to do with the High Kings of Stormwind. He is the once that got Lich King and he is the lover of the mage Jaina Proudmoore ^^ And his Dad is the once that sits there and speaks the WotLK Video :D but he is NOT the grandfather of anduin ^^

[@zacharyiler136]

Orcs and demons are alien. Draenai and demons came to the Orc planet, then all came to the human/elf/troll planet.

[@muffinman2546]

4:40 They riding kodo beasts. Oversized dinosaur bulls/cows.

[@bakalakpal]

followed bro

[@Alexandros.Mograine]

You should play season of discovery ;)

[@kakarottuzumaki4346]

1:14:52 Min.: So far i know arent in colorblind and i say it so: To me the colors looks also fully beautfully so you arent allone ^^ The artstyle is nice and i also love him :D

[@BISHASHBLOOD]

Have you seen "old soldier" yet?

[@nergal9668]

he did, he tried to upload it but it keeps getting taken down

[@Warcoat500]

Look up Platinum WoW's videos he does a pretty good job giving entertaining takes on WoW lore/history

[@joseOGrove]

If you really want lore I honestly recommend playing Warcraft 3, it's packed with lore. WoW is more gameplay based and it's kinda hard to notice the overall lore unless you go for very specific quests. After all, the player is just a random adventurer living in the world. If you want fun videos about warcraft lore, check out Platinum WoW's videos, it's by far the best youtube channel for that IMO.

[@Reinminer]

"The orcs aren't aliens!" uuuuuh, about that lol Also, watching the Warcraft 3 scenes includes a LOT of missing context clues

[@varitsvq9002]

Hey if you want to watch a good version of this video go to Lawllin's channel. He has a great series on the Lore of Warcraft before Warcraft 3, about Warcraft 3 and World of Warcraft. Is explained in a much better way than the one you saw!

[@hundrick186]

The cinematics and cutscenes show a lot of the story, but you should watch an actual lore video going through everything that happens in an actual storyline. A lot of stuff happens in between them.

[@exxor9108]

You probably already know this by now, but the orcs and the draenei are not native to Azeroth. Both are alien to the planet.
