As I state in the last moments of this video: I know that I didn't get to mention a TON of stuff like Deathwing returning, specific major heroes and what they would do/how they would die, etc. I didn't want the video to be too long, after all. But here's my question for you guys: Would you like videos like these to be longer? maybe 20-25 mins rather than my current 15 goal? I'm always open to feedback from you all. Let me know what you think. :)

[@daymadaym9271]

yes! nixxiom i, and many other ppl, love your content and the longer it is the more content we get, so just do as much as you able and comfortable doing! dont push yourself for our sakes, but if you can, we would love to see more content

[@Derpleton14]

I think either making them longer or dividing them into multiple episodes for more detail would be good

[@NeroViolet]

make it 2 hours or longer and i'd still watch the whole thing

[@tuvarkz]

Honestly, if you are bringing up a long and grueling reconquest campaign in Northrend then yes, Cataclysm's events should come up, as Cata happened at most 1-2 years after WotlK's end; including the Lich King's reactions to a new threat to the entirety of Azeroth popping up. Multiple episodes are fine, but the lack of timeframe in the general WoW timeline kind of breaks the AU buildup if LK's victory at ICC is meant to be the only difference.

[@i.m.3940]

Arthas would probably fuck Deathwing and the Legion in the butt if he had all of our heroes turned into undead. But yeah , 20 minutes will be okay. Its interesting to see what you think because those "What if" series are cool.

[@ANDELE3025]

No they werent, WC3 easter eggs and most bonus missions arent/werent canon in real Warcraft lore (e.g. maiev doesnt have Twilight Hammer/Shadow Council powers she gathered across the Tomb) and the whole bonus/Orgrimmar campaign is book bonus based instead of WC2-WC3 which were the only cases of pandas appearing (joke and brick joke continuation respective in spinoff material).

[@ToxicGamez]

To anyone posting comments like "Is this based off of Hellscream's idea?" First of all, it's not my idea. Both Nixx and I were inspired into uploading these types of videos from watching a couple of Star Wars youtubers who started uploading series like these. It takes a good time to make vids like these folks. Days of research, another couple of days of writing the script then recording audio and then like another week to edit and get everything ready for publishing. Nobody copied the other; it's just crazy witchcraft that we both uploaded a video like this in the same week. But having that said, looking forward to more of these videos! They're a pain in the ass to research but they're fun to make in the end!

[@przemekwielgosz421]

you should team up with nixx and lets say nobbel(the lorewalker ;) ) to create one big "if" machinima, maybe take some other machinima creators, break it into parts so everyone of them can upload something to their channel linking to another channel with another part (so everyone could get the value of their subscriptions and advertisement money) let it take a couple of months or even a year, this still would be epic. Maybe what if Sylvanass would want to take Lich King's place, or something. Like for example, Wrathion would convince her that she needs to take over LK's forces to protect Azeroth from legion.

SCII RapterNew Actually they tried and failed with garrisons. I expected Garrisons to be an rts "clash of clans"-like idea where you and your friends battled together or against by building and training units. I did not expect it to be an afk quest timer. I thought those quests were for learning new units via wc3 or boosting them in upgrades like in wc2. I doubt they'd do it now, due to a failure which also was supposed to be a revival of player housing. Still, would be nice if the made a minigame for it. Would add hope for them and us.

It's kind clear after Legion(expansion) and Chronicle 3 that Arthas would have defeated any Legion invasion and eventually retaliate. Azeroth is full of so many different powers, powers that are usually at odds with each other. The Scourge would incorporate all of them efficiently and Arthas would be nearly unstoppable with the entire world as Scourge.

But quick question how does undead reproduce to bolster their numbers

[@EsotericSanity]

@@KePzez with races that surrendered to the Scourge, Arthas wasn't against letting the living join the Scourge like the Vrykul and even if unwilling, they can enslave populations and use them to produce more. Also reanimating demons, wether it be Zombies or Constructs is possible.

[@OrkarIsberEstar]

I diagree on the final conlcusion. The scourge is the perfect weapon to battle the burning legion. Its biggest strength is that demons dont die when destroyed they just go back to argus and reincarnate. The scourge can not only truly kill a demon by absorbing or shackling its soul once the body is destroyed, but by turning the very body into scourge, pitting the legions armies against itself, so while the legions ranks deplete, the scourge grows. Furter one if the biggest weapons the legion has is that its soldiers deem themselves immortal, once they know they can die they are a lot less...eager to fight, also manipulation tactics and fear dont work against the undead. You also forget about saronite armor - the legions best can wear it, making them IMMUNE to magic, mind control and highly resistant to physical damage. Nerzuhl was sure the scourge can take on the Burning Legion and it was establised in WC3 that indeed, the scourge could become powerfull enough to stop the legion and possily the old gods given, again, the old gods strongest tool is manpulation, fear and madness to which the scourge is immune. And good luck leeching life and light out of undead as well

This is a great video. I love the idea you added at the end too. Losing in Legion then having to deal with the Legion and whatever threat comes in the next xpac would make for an amazing story.

[@ANimouz]

Hmmm I kinda disagree with the idea that Arthas would lose from the Burning Legion. The player aka "Legendary defenders of Azeroth" has a very VERY specific plot point in the story of Azeroth. He is unbeatable. He is indominable. He is like the Superman of WoW. Jaina, Arthas, Tirion, Thrall... all are but peasants infront of the Player. When you consider the player, you consider him like a character with the highest PVP and PVE power and achievements. A Supreme gladiator with unrivaled 1v1 skills, an unmatched strategist and general with the rank of High Warlord only surpassed by the warchief himself, a defender and killer of Dragon Aspects, Old Gods, Demi Gods, Elemental Lords, Titan defenders and even Titans (Ra'den). It does not matter which side the Player picks. That side will ALWAYS win. The player started as a mere adventurer, someone who picked up his staff or sword for the heck of it and went out in the world. By trials and an insane amount of quests he became the absolute best for what he is. With unrivaled knowledge, experience and power. Travelling multiple worlds and continents. Faceing perils that even the leaders of factions would shiver against. The Lich King was the only smart person in the entire lore to figure this "Secret weapon" out. He knew that if he wanted to succeed against the Burning Legion and Azeroth he wanted those 20-40 super soldiers. With them on his side, he wouldn't lose. No matter what you throw at him. He knew that momentarally he was strong enough to kill them in a single strike but... eventually they would outclass him. That's why he intentionally let the Alliance and Horde get to icecrown. He could have beaten them any time he wanted, but that was not the point. The "player" was always the key. The player is currently strong enough to even destroy Sargeras and moving forward even the Void Lords which are beings higher in the power ranks than the Titans and Old Gods.

ANimouz uh no sarg looks at us funny and we die just saying and you obviously didnt see the part where he said the champions perished in the gas plus the champions wouldnt be thenselves they would be husks of what they used to be no longer the master strategists or pvp gladiators you described them as

True, And Nixxiom forgot... What if Arthas just raised The Legion's losses? And why not raise the losses of other races like Murlocs, Animals, etc...

Personally I've never seen any of his content before, but we did talk yesterday on my stream, and afterwords, about how we had the exact same idea and, funnilly enough, we both got the idea to do these from watching Star Wars KZbinr's in our free time. Was good talking to him. Maybe him and I can do something together in the near future. :)

[@hicksnumber89]

[@dan7564]

I'm also curious, did he also forget to factor in., pandaria? I'd love to see a second video where you factor in the other expansions.

[@rudymusicfan]

+Alucard Pandaria would've never been discovered and garrosh would've died in northrend thus making alternate draenor never interfere with our time line. as for legion invading there's no one powerful enough to break the seal on the tomb of sageras without alternate draenor gul'dan and so with no one to create a portal for the legion to starting coming through the invasion wouldn't be possible

[@vellor9145]

yes i was thinking the same thing

[@darkweaverlp]

They did a bullshit alternative timeline expansion called WoD, they could totally do a "What if LK won?" Expansion!!! I think it is a terrific idea, all players Horde/Alliance would be united under one faction, THE SCOURGE and fight the LEGION. I think this is a much better expansion than the one we are getting soon... Holy

[@andrewlong9799]

Only issue is that the Legion created the scourge, which means they have a pretty good chance of just taking over the scourge. Not to mention Sargarus, and Kil'jaden are insanely powerful.

[@MMOplayeerr]

Well, lets say the 25 heroes dont die, also, If Arthas conquers whole Azeroth he gets some other good heroes, with them He defeats the deathwing, who becomes his servant and/or Arthas gets corrupted by old gods, also conquering the world, he may have got so many souls that he became so strong that kil jaden cant overpower him anymore. With deathwing, old god magic and the champions of Azeroth, He would easly destroy the legion expect for Sargaeras who never ever even fckin comes.

[@ANDELE3025]

Legion didnt create the Scourge, LK/Ner'zhul did as a plan to fuck over the annoying red crossdressing pony princess who put him in a block of ice under the pretense of serving them. Thats like 35% of the WC3 scourge campaign plot ffsf or did everyone forget that retcons dont work in media due to death of the author clause?

[@angelgrozd]

well they could have made an alternative timeline if the lich king had won

[@Dontreallycare5]

They could still do that - in any timeline which the Lich King won he would eventually consume the Bronze Dragon flight and begin to leverage their power to transcend timelines and universes the same way that the Legion via Sargeras does such. After all, the Bronze Dragon flight is destined to become tainted by the Old Gods inevitably regardless according to Nozdormu himself so long as he falls into madness at the thought of his own mortality. Frankly, the best way to usurp that from happening is to curse him with undeath and put him under the Lich King [whichever version for that matter] since it will stop time from being ripped apart. A being of pure death, as the LK is, wouldn't want the inevitable march of time being disrupted so would, regardless of other desires, keep the time stream at least somewhat cogent.

Personally I think it would be cool if we saw the return of the lich king (bolvar fordragon) not only come back but support us in the fight against the Legion this expac.Even so, great video, keep it up! :D

Zulatobari Greatforge ah true

[@Shinobi_Fox]

Arthas killed and raised Sapphiron of the blue dragonflight without effort and that was when he was weakened and still an agent of the lich king, I'm sure he would have wasted the Twilight and the rest of Deathwings dragonflight. Deathwing might have been an issue to kill though but he might have had some sort of alliance with Arthas considering they both had designs which involved destroying all life on Azeroth. Worst comes to worst the Scourge could have just killed DW using the plague or an army of Frost Wyrms.

[@ZulatobariGreatforge]

Oh yea! Lets not forget that he'd prob. kill the Dragonflights after raising Galakrond! (Or whatever that HUUUUUUUUGE Protodrake was named who was buried near the Wyrmrest Temple!

[@Soraptor]

I would like to imagine that after the Lich King conquered Azeroth, he would find a way to invade other worlds to grow his undead army. After capturing so many worlds, Frostmourne would grow so powerful, that he may stand a chance against the Burning Legion.

[@bluebeans3951]

Goosh another amazing video, but there's a thing I'd like to mention. I think the Dragon Aspects would make a move after seeing the Scourge's vast expanse and the newfound power that entered Arthas' army (the ''champions'' & Fordring) and they'd try to put on a big fight and maybe ultimately win? Keep up the great work

[@loljustice31]

How about... what if as the younger sibling Arthas was actually second in line for the throne instead of first, never felt that sort of pressure to prove himself, remained a paladin, Calia was the one who became a death knight, Arthas helps Jaina in sailing to Kalimdor with Lordaeron's exiles, DK Calia decides to get to the Sunwell by water instead of plowing through Silvermoon, Sylvanas remains ranger-general and Anasterian remains king, when Illidan gives Anasterian one of his vials of eternity, Anasterian uses it to make a new sunwell like Dath'remar had...

what about the old gods? surely at some point in this timeline they would be free since with the death of the horde/alliance/etc. there woul be nobody left to keep them from freeing themselves just imagine how amazing the battle between the legion and old gods would be

[@ceiferthegamer]

the old gods were mainly a issue because of the planet was filled with mortals. those under the lich king's control were all but immune to the effects of old god whispers, the nightmare, and just about everything else. so the main power of the old gods would be nothing against the scourge. deathwing would fall against the other four aspects after being reanimated and the power of the scourge. would be one hell of a fight though.

[@whywouldyoucare239]

+The Mirage Well remember how he wanted to reanimate galakrond into a giant and the most powerful frost wyrm? took 5 and also alot more combined forces of the dragonflights to bring down gala. imagine only one vs an empowered galakrond as frost wyrm. correct me if im wrong but i think this is why arthas set off his agents to reanimate galakrond. as the main weapon vs deathwing and also other dragonflights. and as for the old gods? he witnesed how these 25 heroes brought down yogg saron. imagine 25 empowered. the remaining old god influences would be not much of a problem. i think the lich king had a big plan under sleeve if he succeeded in claiming these 25 heroes for himself. including tirion and after him bolvar. after it tho.. another plan i believe would be made to withstand the legion. but just think all the lives he would empower after death: thrall, tyrande, garrosh, varian, vol'jin, malfurion and also discovering what lies beneath the broken isles as he would seek ways to defend and/or defeat or pushback the legion and every contact it has with azeroth. the lich king i believe had it all planned. but he couldnt predict the future in the way that tirion would manage to break free and shatter frostmourne in a single blow.

[@whywouldyoucare239]

+ceiferthegamer Cant they just escape arthas? lets say.. refuge at caverns of time? after all arthas already had chosen his mightiest frost wyrm after sindragosa. galakrond.

[@ceiferthegamer]

Adi Stefani the bronze would not let them near the cavern. they will protect it above all. to the point were they would likely abandon everyone else and bury the cavern. the old gods also cant go there since they are trapped. the cathraxi maybe but they would have a hard time getting past the bronze and maybe even the infinites. the infinites may have been made by the old gods, maybe, but they dont serve them so they may help the bronze fight against a common foe.

[@whywouldyoucare239]

+ceiferthegamer Indeed. though since we are "what if"-ing then i supposed desperate times would require desperate measures to survive and convince them. but since caverns is a no go for certain then the tolviron at uldum. or maybe an accidental rediscovery of pandaria as was accidentally rediscovered and seek refuge there. just any means to go as far from northrend and eastern kingdoms as possible.

@@williambatman4522 If i recall, Arthas the Death Knight as a soulless being used Arthas the Paladin's personality as a base template, with the morality dialed to "evil". As a result, several little aspects of the old Arthas lingered so that Death Knight Arthas wouldn't just be a mindless zombie, resulting in his tendency to say sarcastic quips throughout the WC3 campaigns and his rage fit in the book when Kael counter-taunted him about Jaina. So while Arthas may have had his soul taken by Frostmourne, in his place was what was essentially and evil clone occupying his body, which kind of did develop his own traces of an identity.

All of these superpowers in the lore have been greatly diminished in the game,making them kill-able by mortal powers,which is dumb. The Legion,per lore,once they could properly home in on Azeroth,the planet should have fallen within the day. In the game,pre Legion launch,random players were running left and right slaying mountain sized demon generals who have probably wiped out more planets than you can count. Also,the Legion would most likely wipe out the Scourge almost just as quick.

[@guilhermeroyama8842]

The Legion would most likely win, though I doubt it would be THAT easy. If Sylvanas hadn't destroyed the Undercity and killed herself with all LK's heroes, he would face the Legion with an entire army of undead legendary heroes, not to mention beat the living races far quicker before the invasion. So it would be something like this: Burning Legion X The Scourge weakened -> Legion's victory in few days at best. Burning Legion X The Scourge with all Azeroth's heroes -> Scourge's pyrrhic victory after months or even years of war.

Good stuff! I like to think that the Scourge would have the advantage against the Legion of being like a hive-mind. The only real disadvantage being you can't really raise demons into undeath...but, at this point their forces would be so vast it would be difficult for the Legion to even gain a foothold before being washed over by every living thing in Azeroth. Unless, of course, the Legion could wrest control over parts of the scourge from the Lich King, I don't think they'd stand a chance. Probably, the Old Gods might have even welcomed the Scourge, due to their similar goals. Maybe the Lich King might have become a sort of Old God himself...maybe that is still his goal (?!) Old Gods and the Scourge would have been pretty tough for the Legion to beat if they were in cahoots.

I LOVE how you think! I play a LOT of MMOs and RPGs and of the ones I've played, not a single one ever had us beaten in the end; the players, the adventurers just win. Probably why I like Day Z lol. We always win somehow, eh? It's getting old. I welcome losing and yes it would TOTALLY make me climb the fucking walls for the next expansion even at least to see what happens next! Cliffhangers are a good thing now in MMOs, if they dare to try. If you win at the end of every expansion over and over, why would you want to keep buying expansions? You can just search KZbin for the endings now. Blizzard has nothing to lose really if they go that route. They're pretty well established with WoW and their other games. You have a very good idea there in having us lose, even if it's just once. No MMO I know of has ever done it before, and I want that. I know I'd be pissed as hell in an all losing ending, but I'd also have fun getting my ass totally beat for once. I play the games I play long term because of the immersion genius of a well written story, and I throw money at it because I have somewhat of an emotional investment in it. Losing would DEFINITELY immerse me even more. omg! lol and spend more money on it! I'd be screaming like the Markiplier's songify at the end of that "Space is so Cool" video with nothing but F bombs in pure nerd rage. I'm talking nerd rage to the extreme! Despite that, I would be committed to buying the next xpac, pawn all my shit if I had to just to see what happens next. Losing the final battle just makes it all more real because irl, we do lose and some of us lose everything. Real heroes mostly do lose everything. There is no glory in being a hero, but there is in redemption. I can speak to that as a soldier myself irl and as a survivor of hurricane Irene, Superstorm Sandy and 911 back when I lived in NJ and worked in Lower Manhattan in 2001. I was livid with the company I worked with back then because they decided to bury how many of our security personnel died in those attacks saving us and later got myself fired because of how outspoken I was about it. Bullshit. For me, having this chance at losing appeals to me because in a twisted way it brings me peace. Probably because it's just a game, but still in games I feel like I have control unlike all those past life events. I have since moved from NJ to NC and today to Texas to find my ground and it's holding. In my free time games have helped me blow off steam to where I was able to rebuild my life. My life had been destroyed so many times. I can't thank gaming enough for helping me keep my sanity.

[@TaldrenMGMoonGuard]

I forgot to add. Our human nature drives us to work for a win after a horrible loss. I know this from life experience. Works in MMOs too. I know this from game experience and I get really bored of winning every expac. Thank you everyone who took the time to read my long post.
