World of Warcraft's Top 10 Lore Moments

[@EpicGamers783]

My favorite lore moment is when Deathwing attacks SW and King Varian builds a statue of himself. Scaring away Deathwing.

[@GarredHATES]

Illidan: Brother! I stopped them :D Malfurion: How dare you sacrifice your soul to save of us all! your no brother of mine! Illidan: :(

[@aegoni6176]

How about garrosh? he was blamed all along for *nothing at all*

[@knotten55]

Worst brother in history

[@chico1786]

@@knotten55 Yeah, Illidan at that moment did what needed to be done. Having a man on the inside was one of the key parts in defeating the legion back then. But old Malf didn't want to see that. Illidan did a lot of shady stuff, but that is what a good undercover agent has to do, sadly. Had Malf taken Illidan back with some restrictions and not abandon him completely, Azeroth's story could be very different.

[@World_of_KGZ]

Malfurion is a retard

[@PurpleBanana073]

The moment Ga'nar sacrifices himself at the end of the Frostfire Ridge questline in Warlords of Draenor. That moment he shouts LOK'THAAAAAR! ... Shivers man, shivers.

[@NixxiomOnYouTube]

PurpleBanana073 I didn't ask to feel that feel! :(

[@PurpleBanana073]

FEEL IT

[@ManCheat2]

Nixxiom Machinima Im suprised you didnt add the lore part where the world split in half because the Night elf queen wanted her Demon boyfriend there. And that queen is now a NAGA

[@MagiKarpAU]

PurpleBanana073 dem feels, yet to do that quest line but just the video alone, feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels

[@jebuscrust1435]

PurpleBanana073 when i did that on the beta i had so much fun watching as ga'nar grows as a warrior and a brother then just dies to the iron horde, like we didn't lose enough cool people bye the iron horde Prophet Velen being one

[@dillanreed2389]

"(Evil Laugh) Did you think we had forgotten? Did you think, we had forgiven? Behold now the terrible vengeance of the Forsaken, death to the Scourge! and death to the living!" Despite Putress leading a separatist faction, I loved this scene. As a Forsaken fan, who plays nothing but undead this is the closest we've come to having a big moment on screen. Killing off two armies and forcing the Lich King to retreat was amazing.

[@definitivelaugh]

Dillan Evans Agree, very troll/epic moment for the Forsaken!!

[@Mthammere2010]

And it still is to this day. It's why we all are afraid of the dead people.

[@peterrojahn4230]

Dillan Evans I will never forget those words, the sting instruments in the background, Arthas assuming it was Sylvanas- leading the player to think she betrayed them, and witnessing one of the early accounts of horde and alliance working together, only to be broken by the forsaken. I will never forget it. I will never forgive it.

[@sergiolucas2781]

"Sylvannas..."

[@GarroshTV]

THE moment before, when Arthas was just like 'WHAT?!'

[@kttphoenix]

When Velen sacrificed himself to save K'ara. I had to teleport to Exodar to make sure our Velen was ok. (the feels)

My favourite zone also. Love the Draenei and to this day Yrel is my pin up girl.

[@jaxieog5930]

YOUER WIERD

[@oboroth51]

I hate those stupid crystal gods so much.

[@aedankor2961]

+Alexander Babajev i was 7 when i watched that times andtimes over. 7 . and i goddamn cried :) yea i did and i still do so...

[@LilianOrchard]

Anyone else get an "Obi Wan and Anakin" vibe from Uther and Arthas?

[@brentg6127]

except Obi fucked Anakin up

[@grantmarshal9709]

Lily Peet True!! Never thought about it like that.

[@loreaver3882]

Well better fight tho

[@VulpesChama]

Well, Uther didn't have the high ground.

[@HunGerMovies]

No. Fk it.

[@rougehawk]

Dude mad respect for this list. Your knowledge of Warcraft lore is most impressive. I was very pleased that you mentioned Broxigar :) I want to list some honorable mentions in no particular order: -The murder of King Terenas -Aegwynn defeating the Avatar of Sargeras and the corruption of Medivh -Arthas' curse on Sylvanas Windrunner -Velens decision to not ally himself with Sargaras -The Sacrifice of the Sons of Lothar in Beyond the Dark Portal -Dragon Soul -The Titans and The Old Gods

[@TheWhiteFaction]

Peacecraft A big yes for the Sons of Lothar. I wish more people knew about how great Turalyon and Lothar were. Turalyon is the geatest hero of the Alliance in my opinion.

[@Mthammere2010]

You completely forgot Illidan destroying Tycondrius which set the scourge free of the legion. Also Grom slaying manneroth in demon fire canyon.

[@Fiernys]

TheWhiteFaction dont forget about Alleria ;D

[@XalosTheInsane]

TheWhiteFaction amen

[@Deavhrmordhau]

I think you forgot the shattering of Frostmourne, the day Arthas found Frostmourne and one of the most recent ones is the wound in silithus

[@NixxiomOnYouTube]

If you had to pick a favorite lore moment, what would it be? Is it something on this list or something else? I'm genuinely curious, as there was a lot of good stuff to pick from while I was making this video.

[@marklafrancis253]

Nixxiom Machinima The arrival of the Naaru on Argus. I get the feeling that any visual representation of that moment would fail to do justice to just how impressive it would be. Second would be the defeat of Archimonde at the World Tree.

[@ibramgaunt8863]

Nixxiom Machinima I would say for me as a RP paladin it was when I turned in the Badge of the Silver Hand. But book wise I would say the Ashbringer comic.

[@JFHardman]

Nixxiom Machinima This was an awesome Top 10 list! My favorite lore moment is Ashbringer : The Return of Tirion Fordring. /watch?v=e_oyXSSFAL0

[@Skollshorties]

Nixxiom Machinima One of the biggest Lore moments to me was when Rexxar's Wolf was killed, and Rexxar avenged it. Rexxar then proceeded to leave the Horde and travel into the wilds. To me this was a pinnacle moment. Now, I didn't know about this before, but after I played Rexxar, and nerded all over, I went to discover more info. This really made me love his Charactar more for the care he had for his Beast, and it is why I play a Orc Beast Master, and why I roleplay a Mok'Nathal.

[@Ryukasan1]

Nixxiom Machinima The Sacrifice of Bolvar.

[@KheiaMedcherKhaine]

Dare I say it, when you actually chose Malorne vs Archimonde, being my favourite moment in all epic fantasy, I let out a tear of joy and pride. Well done, sir.

[@TheLazyPeon]

Your videos make me feel warm and tingly inside.

[@NixxiomOnYouTube]

TheLazyPeon It's all in the beard.

[@csimkin1]

Chode Master I'm really feeling it.

[@ConnorNotyerbidness]

Lazy peon may be here but ive yet to see a comment by nobbel87 HE MUST COMMENT ON THIS

[@mannoroth3185]

TheLazyPeon Mmmm oh you make me feel warm and tingly inside ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@paracelsus9943]

I love you mannoroth ;)

[@Voojitsu]

Arthas sitting on the Frozen Throne. I can watch that cinematic every day and every time I feel chills.

[@DfRaid]

My favorite moment is when Arthas finds out that every Arthas in Arthas is infected with the Arthas. Together with his Friend Arthas his lover Arthas and many brave Arthas's he sets out to stop the Arthas. But when he arrives at Arthas he notices that all the Arthas's have already been infected with the Arthas. Arthas decides to purge the Arthas so that the Arthas stays inside Arthas. But Arthas and Arthas would not follow him. This was the Key moment in the life of Arthas because afterwards he sets out to Arthas to kill Arthas. On the way he finds Arthas which corrupts his Arthas leading to him going back to his Arthas killing his own Arthas and becoming the Arthas.

[@aegoni6176]

you forgot to mention Arthas...sorry arthas i cant watch u doing arthas

[@jaxieog5930]

WHAT? IT'S THE UDEAD DUMMY

[@SacredBlazeXxX]

Broxigar.. Never heard about him but such an important character! Proved that Sargeras can be wounded!

[@charlayned]

Arthas's Fall, especially the whole Culling of Strathholm storyline. I really loved that.

[@wowman4642]

never forget the wrath gate.

[@lucasmontiel9]

+WoW man Did you think we have forgotten? Did you think we have forgiven?!

[@adij1950]

+Lucas Montiel death to the scourge.... and the living

[@veritasabsoluta4285]

Honestly reminds me of the battle of thermopylae

[@aegoni6176]

@@adij1950 BEHOLD NOW.. THEE TERRRIBLE VENGENCE.... OF THE FFORSSSSAKEN!!!!

[@Mullehus]

"Father... Is it. Over?" "At long last. No King rules forever, my son" "I see. Only darkness. Before me" - "Without it's master's command, the restless scourge will become an even greater threat upon this world. Control. Must be maintained. There must always be. A Lich King" This was my top 1 Lore moment. The death of the Prince, and the Fall of the Lich king. And then the crowning of the New Lich King. I've lost count on how many times I saw that Cinematic, after the statue went up in Dalaran

[@benjaminpoppe6024]

Hot goosebump listen to the voice of terenas in my head.

[@cristianlazaroaie3254]

Just start farming Invincible, after 100 attempts you will hate that cinematic

[@chico1786]

It would be even greater if they hadn't turned the new Lich King into a bitch who got owned by Sylvanas.

[@atozy]

Another great video Nixx, I really enjoyed this 1

[@SquareInsider]

Very well done and you know your lore, so props to you. As for me... My all time favorite lore moment is an obvious one, but also undeniable in its weight. "NOW......WE ARE...ONE!!" *Eyes of Arthas flash blue as he fuses with Ner'zhul to become the Lich King* *cue Invincible theme*

[@AmyVVVVV16]

9:48 the fucking tears on the book lmfao

[@mole62ssf]

You sound so young! Three years ago, this video, but it's lore so it caught my eye. Lore makes the game. Gives WoW its heart, its layers. Shapes the quests and races. Love it!

[@rentebox]

Who the hell goes to a lore link and complains of spoilers?

[@SinDemon]

I remember loving every one of these moments - I would have found it hard to put them in a top ten and decide which one was better! Thanks for another great video Nixx ^^

[@Harbaron]

Broxigar will always be #1 for me. Great video btw!

[@splinte111]

wait a moment! 15:21 so you're telling me that Elune had sex with a stag?

[@SinDemon]

splinte111 They're divine beings, they didn't necessarily have sex... Or she just turned herself into a doe...

[@splinte111]

Dominic Woodman it's still sick... I mean like the nightelfs worship her and the child she made with a stag

[@ozanyoung2909]

Some good picks, nicely done. - Thanderion, that weird old Worgen Druid you used to RP with.

[@jeffreyor2000]

Now you have to add broken isles in this. R.I.P Varian

[@emresahinmecit]

And the love of Illidan... His last words was sad... Although he isnt dead yet so its good.

[@aegoni6176]

Varian died as he lived.... FOR THE ALLIANCE! And as an anime king.... R.I.P. anime and alliance....

[@MrPublikus]

13:12 "Dont mess with the Archdruid and the land he protects" Curtscene -> His land burns.

[@St3C0n]

The service you're doing to this game, Nixxiom, is priceless. Keep up the great work man!

[@RatchildUK]

Looks like we might be getting that Gilneas conclusion in Legion. Both Genn Greymane and Sylvanas are noted as 'important heroes and villains' on the Legion site, and have updated models.

[@qebron]

+RatchildUK The Banshee Queen better slaughter the dog.

[@DrLore-rl9tn]

Thanks for all those reminiscences of so many wonderful &cool moments, Nixxiom! I highly recommend everybody to watch this video!

[@Dr.ArielFinch]

When I heard War of the Ancients, I thought, "Great.. another Illidan card trick." Then I heard Malorne and said, "FINALLY!". One question.. where's the banana?! WHERE NIXXIOM?!

[@tholos2758]

Illidan is an amazing character though, I'm surprised he wasn't on this list. His clash with Arthas or his many attempts to prove his love to Tyrande were pretty emotional

[@Dr.ArielFinch]

I never said Illidan was a bad character. I'm saying he has *so many* fans, it gets annoying when I see him at the top of many different lists, whether that be at the top of a Top 10 or Top 5.

[@Mthammere2010]

It's not because he has fans, it's because in a thousand ways Illidan Stormrage has shaped the Azeroth we know today. Be it good or I'll, credit goes where credit is due. Illidan's significance is unfathomable to tell the truth.

[@alienwizard9765]

Christian Plante Sylvanas has much more fans, so that's why i am waiting for her to be killed....It would be tragic for them at least.

[@Mthammere2010]

Глеб Стельмах that's messed up...

[@mole62ssf]

The lore is one of the aspects of WoW I love most. It sustains and supports the playing, it moves it along, it connects me with the past. My husband, who knew the lore so well, would tell me wonderful stories and tidbits. I look forward to hearing your stories. Click!

[@derekmiller9303]

No rise of Hogger?!

[@Spaceunicornfish]

The sexy hogger

[@Protectereli]

Would love another one of these, this was amazing.

[@Divinemartyr]

The thing that killed me in the War of the Ancient series was Malorne having his neck snapped by Archimonde... The Ancients who "died" in the fighting, the description of them was tremendously moving to me. But Broxigar really is the most badass character in the lore... I mean the audacity of his action alone would have cemented his place but killing legions of Demons and then ACTUALLY wounding Saergeras is so badass there is simply nothing that compete with that.

[@Divinemartyr]

OMFG I should have waited till the end! You beautiful Man! I am now a subscriber for life.

[@HellfirePrime33]

I love wow lore, So many good memories from this game. Thanks for the recap. My fav wow lore is about the 5 Dragon aspects and how there got there powers. It's a great book!

[@forrestervann3944]

Demon Hunter needs to be a class in WoW, it would be so great! A rogue like warlock combo. Simply great.

[@lukki4117]

My favorite lore moment would have to be the end of the Death Knight Starting zone. Ya'll know what I'm talking about.. "AAAAAARRRRRRRTTTTTHHHHHAAAASSSSS" "What is this..?" "You're End."

[@moscanaveia]

Your* That was spelled wrong, mr... Spelled Right :P

[@aegoni6176]

Man im crying right now *THE NOSTALGIA IS FUCKING UNREAL MAN!!*

[@skullyzYT]

i would argue that the only "good" race is the pandaren..wile some of them have been arrogant(taran zhu for instance) but non of them really "evil".. the only pandaren we fought were corrupted or dead or controlled..non of them had a honestly "evil" hearth the draenei has had some bad apples among their people..like some of the draenei in shadowmoon valley who decided that the legion would be a better cause to serve but great video non the less..nice to see other people who love lore my moment "SPOILERS FOR TIDES OF WAR" when the pink haired gnome named kindy died :(..i legit almost cried in the middle of a bookstore when i read this sad part..and it got even worse when jaina when to her parents..its honestly the first time in WoW that i had a legit sad experience reading a book..

[@adreak9868]

***** You're kidding, right?

[@skullyzYT]

i actually enjoyed the lore in pandaria..too bad most people considered MoP the worst expansion because "lul pandas" which is very sad >> i liked lorewalker cho (how can you not get chills from the thunderking poem he read?) even though taran zhu was a bit arrogant..i still enjoyed his character and found him to be a bad ass at points..and no words can describe how awesome chen stormstout is.. and yea..its also interesting to note..that despite the destruction of the homeland..non of the pandaren became truely evil..understandably pissed..but non of them reacted in a super violent manner towards the horde or alliance..even taran zhu..the pandaren who i think was the most angriest of the outsiders..gave garrosh a trial for his crimes so yea pandaren are the legit true "good" characters in wow..and i think personally are a pretty good race honestly

[@princeveggie]

Wow Jedi Actually in the end we made Pandaria a better place. Sure the pandaren had to suffer because of us but we purified the land from their only evil: the Sha. Even the Sha Shaohao couldn't defeat. Also if we had'nt found Pandaria the Zandalari would have. And Lei Shen would be the new ruler again and the pandaren would have been slaves again. Don't know why peole still think our fraction just brought bad to their lands...

[@Anon-fd8ui]

aggromarks I had thought that Shaohao forced the Sha deep into the ground, forever hidden away and the Pandaren people were safe. When the Alliance and Horde came, the Sha came back due to our feelings of pride, anger, and the rest? Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@shawnsterress]

[@paulstaker8861]

[@Avallore]

Lore vids like these always hit me in the feels. I guess that happens when as a player and fan I been invested in the World of Warcraft for ten years.. and even longer through the other warcraft games before it.

[@GreenHoodier]

they should make a movie or a serie about this damn, this is awesome !

[@Martin-vh3ei]

[@GreenHoodier]

[@Martin-vh3ei]

Green Hood I think it'll be good. Blizzard doesnt produce crap.

[@wowawoano9919]

the best lore moment for me has to be when Arthas became the lich king and when we faced him in icc. that was so epic and sad to see him to die. will you do next top list of wow machinimas in some point nixxiom? i'm sure many others would love to see it also.

[@nerolanero5838]

WoWa Woano YES, PLEASE! Do that!

[@irondwarf9361]

WoWa Woano that is actually good idea. From the last episode, it has been over 6 months. we demand other episode!

[@Cybertop110]

What struck me in the events of Wrathgate is that, on the dawn of that day, all the mortal races thought it was going to be the last one the Lich King would know, but in the end it resulted in being an unexpected and horrible slaughter, from which their target still came out alive.

[@thinhvo3893]

My top 10 lore moment. Broxigar and Sargeras (easily the most badass moment in War of the Ancient. However, I would like to point out that Broxigar didn't really wound on him but he scratched his armor still impressive but there is no way he could damage a God) Arthas murder his father (the most iconic moment in ROC) Arthas accession to the Throne (no question asked) Varian vs Garrosh in Wolf Heart (that battle show that Varian doesn't fuck around.) Garrosh vs Thrall (so emotional) SoO ending (Vojin Fa Da Win mon and of course, Varian being a badass as alway) Grom's sacrifice (Easily the most heroic sacrifice an Orc could make. This guy is a badass unlike his son) Sylvanas curse (you have no ideas how satisfied is it that you got annoyed by Sylvanas for 3 mission and finally get a chance to killed her. God she is annoying) WoD cinematic (hand down, best cinematic in WoW history) The bombing of Theramore (damn Jania, you finally become badass after 5 fucking expansions and 1 Warcraft game).

[@Disturbance42]

+Thinh Vo No. He did wound him.

+Thinh Vo I see you everywhere

[@EM0crayon]

I know it's not much of a lore favorite for many because Thrall is absent in some of the most important times that he was in need... but the battle between Thrall and Garrosh in nagrand will always give me the chills down my spine. The exchange of their fighting and also their conversation was just epic overall! Although people can't appreciate the fighting because thrall used magic... well, that's how I feel every time I fight a caster with melee lol! Overall, this video really got me interested in learning more about the lore as I tend to just click accept and skip all the dialogue while questing. It's even got me wanting to play the warcraft series to see and experience the lore in those games. Thank you for putting this together!

Broxigar. Best moment ever. Lok'tar Ogar!

I was a little disappointing that you didn't mention the Old Gods at all, They are the coolest and most terrifying villians in WoW for me (Plus I am a sucker for HP Lovecraft).

[@cooltv2776]

Manatee Express that, and they are one of the few things in the warcraft universe that are truely evil the demons are evil, sargeras isnt as he was corrupted the lich king was corrupted to (whether your talking about arthas or ner'zhul, they were both corrupted) deathwing was corrupted, twilights hammer are just insane, naga are corrupted, pretty much everyone is corrupted or misguided in some way, whereas the old gods are just pure evil

[@ManateeExpress]

Yeah, exactly

[@definitivelaugh]

Manatee Express agree, i loved all the few old gods lore.

[@shawnsterress]

Well, you were indirectly in my favorite moment of the lore XD My favorite lore moment, is the War of the Ancients, all of it, just so damn epic, I've also seen the WoTA movie, my favorite moment of the movie was when Illidan was talking to Jarod Shadowsong, it looks simple, but damn the feels, hope they won't screw up Illidan again in Legion, anyway, that movie was probably the best thing I've seen on internet, can't wait for the next one

[@Daggerfall40]

You describing the awakening of Malfurion with the WC3 Night Elves theme playing in the background gave me shivers.

[@jeffagain7516]

Thanks again Nix. Great Vid Buddy! There are some Fans I'm confident besides myself, that can remember the Ancient Days, when Warcraft's 1st game was released on PC. I had purchased my first "real" computer, a Dell with Win 95 installed and I did so for 3 specific games; - Baldur's Gate - Diablo, and of course - Warcraft Long story shorter, as fun as Warcraft "zug-zug" and Warcraft 2 were, Warcraft 3 of course brought the incredible new lore to an exciting new level! Warcraft 3 was the first "deep" story driven game of the series and my kids and I absolutely adored it. When WoW first launched, we dove in deep and were so excited to see the Lore from WC3 used to develop the masterful creation Blizzard launched. I lasted up until WotLK but moved on to other things after that ( my Kids meanwhile, continued with WoW retail to this day AND Classic!) Then, when Blizz announced the re-release of Vanilla as "Classic" and having just previously played Nostalrious' version for about a year, it was like returning to visit an old and dear friend. Thanks so much for bringing back some very fond memories. :)

[@morgoth9671]

uther and arthas = obi-wan and anakin :p ner'zhul is the emperor :p

[@camzoman]

I think you undersold that WoD cinematic. The echo of Grom killing Mannoroth, Garrosh's simple line "Times change," it was absolutely fantastic.

[@RussianDrunk]

That scythe of elune hearthstone card...

[@Dreadwyrm839]

Enjoyed listening to the video while rep grinding ;) My favourite moment was Arthas ascending the frozen throne to merge with Ner'zhul.

[@bbyrat]

I cant be the only one who dislikes when horde makes paladins and alliance makes shamens

[@Oszy333]

T4c0 Tell me, why shouldn't the Sin'dorei, whose main religion is the Church of the Light have paladins ? And why shouldn't the Draenei, having interacted with orcs for hundreds of years, have shamans ? (Not gonna discuss the Sunwalkers and dwarven shamans, since the first are not real paladins, and I don't know enough about the second.)

[@bbyrat]

Oszy it's faction specific (alliance made paladins while horde had shamans)

[@Oszy333]

T4c0 It WAS faction specific, and it should never have been. And bringing it back wouldn't be balanced enough, Alliance would have a tank class more than Horde, that can heal and DPS too.

[@bbyrat]

Oszy i mean like.. lore wise

[@Oszy333]

T4c0 I already made my point lore-wise and you didn't respond to it, so I thought to meant gameplay-wise.

[@Drakancore]

Broxigar is one of my favorite characters in warcraft lore, I loved him so much that I had to get on WoW and make an Orc warrior right away after reading the book

[@BarackGamingObama]

#1 should be Millhouse Manastorm moments, you silly.

I could kiss you with how much good stuff you put in here. Seriously, I'll be linking this to a lot of my friends. I honestly agreed with all of it! AGH so much underrated moments were mentioned and I thank you for you!

[@OwariNeko]

Rich lore. Alternate universes clashing. This is like Marvel or DC comics.

[@InfinitioZ]

I love learning of more lore. Great video man.

Great list. One major moment in Wow would have to be the Illidan and Arthas stand off, due to its significance. Other than that, great list.

yeah, good point. Though to be fair this video was made long before the announcement of Legion, so it maybe wasn't as obvious how important that moment was in terms of lore. Turns out the Black Temple raid was more than just a B plot...

[@matthewdouglas4028]

I honestly love Warcraft purely for the amazing content. When i was younger i was brought up with Warcraft 3 and Frozen Throne, man those are some epic games. The story lines all fit so well and are simply full of content. I love reading up on and learning more Lore that Warcraft supplies.

[@vahlarian2698]

Thanks alot for making your videos, they light up my day when I'm feeling kinda down.

[@Lolia.]

I was utterly surprised and filled with glee when you announced #1. I even smacked my hands to my face with my jaw dropped haha! /(>o

[@Knallbart]

Oh hell yes. I loved that moment in Shadowmoon Valley too. Not sure it's the best lore moment, but it certainly is one of the better for me too :) I quite liked the bit in Frostfire as well, when Durotan's brother sacrifised himself. He was a bit of a bellend but did the right thing in the end.

[@SckharVawn]

The Shadowmoon Valley is what made me see how Blizzard care for the alliance much more than they do for for the horde.. The first area questline for the Horde is terrible, boring and annoying, even though we deal with Durotan and his clan, it's super boring, while on the alliance side, they did make one hella of epic story.

[@aerodynamic6560]

+Sckhar Leviathan Haha, you're so wrong it hurts.

[@Sqied]

+Sckhar Leviathan Kinda funny you think that since the part before assaulting orgrimmar you get a rich bakground story for the horde and the alliance only get a shitty mission with a robot cat...

[@australianemily]

+Sckhar Leviathan They were making up for how obviously biased they were towards the Horde in Mists of Pandaria.

[@podtherod9304]

Frost fire Ridge is definitely not boring! Did you see that final cinematic with Ganar sacrificing himself to save everyone else, Thrall and Drek'thar talking in the final battle, and then final battle in general. It was amazing!

[@Davidmoire96]

Thank you for posting this video , i agree with these events being such an integral part of why people love world of warcraft, i remember the feeling of sadness when Malorne was killed, as in the book he had fought so hard to defend Azeroth, i also remember the rage that Ysera felt and how determined she was to get her revenge on the Legion, i hope Ysera and King Varian are brought back to life in the story, (and Tyrion) i play mostly horde but i love the alliance

[@samj8277]

Michael Bay should direct the Warcraft movie and show death wings nuts

[@dornkthepanda]

[@zoroaster5353]

And people prefer CoD over this.

[@anthonyj4735]

Drake Davidson cod Is so mukh betar yu scrub i wil 360 noscop yu casuel nurd

[@Condred]

Drake Davidson Nothing wrong with that. WoW and CoD have nothing in common.

[@alienwizard9765]

Wow Jedi CoD is too hard4u, get rekt.

[@jacobpainter2729]

+Anthony J you know wow is a fucking kids game it's rated 12 so shut up if anything you are ruining it for the kids the game was intended for

[@anthonyj4735]

Jacob Painter​ The game is rated M dumas, 17+. No game is rated 12 lol.

[@sparrowcfc9]

I love the way u narrate the lore,Nixxiom.You should definitley do more lore based videos! :)

[@tristanj7386]

Why does WoW has so much lore Owo I want to learn it all but it's impossible

[@ahmedchami5633]

Tristan J it is not by any means impossible

[@WarriorWoz]

Man, You're awesome. This video brought back a lot of memorys, And kind of pissed me off because i wasn't able to do the Wrath gate Quest line.

[@Urredurre]

My list: Broxigar Broxigar the red Brox Brox the red I can only get four things in mind.

[@Retrolution]

I know I am a bit late to the part but amazing video man!!! Had me mesmerized the whole video through :P

[@dominikkostienko5929]

You should call it Warcraft Lore not WoW lore, in my opinion WoW killed warcraft lore,so many thing are unrealistic , for example Archimond is so powerfull that some 40 dudes would be no near in even killing him so we had to be saved by malfurion and thousand of nelf souls sacrificing them...Now there gonna be 10 guys killing him in WoD ,Thats bullshit if you ask me , now lore is cutted down to really awesome expending the universe but the story overall and how the epic logical moments are turned into some stupid goofy ass encounters all for our enjoyment , all those epic characters created to only be killed by some ''heros'' without my epicness RTS>>>>>>>>>>>MMO in story telling, not to mentioning orc mages,undeads in horde or fucking paladyn tauren ... oh and i forgout about wow cinematics ofc like velen's sacrifice which is really cool etc etc.

[@amandamcnally8025]

Dominik K But... but... the game play is really fun. :(

[@Proterragon]

Dominik K exactly my opinion but i mourn for Arthas as the lich king,i think they killed him off so they would have more gameplay to offer

[@Tannershide]

The Lore is why I keep coming back to WoW and why I stay so long when I do.

[@Amphitera]

cool list. Except, of course, the Broxigar bit. I always facepalm when I see people go on about how cool this dude is, because the whole War of the Ancients trilogy is by far the worst book I've ever read, written by the worst author imaginable, who retconned an entire franchise and made up timetravel crap just to be able to put his own self-inserts into already established lore, thereby f*cking said lore totally over. That abomination of a book should never have been published. Leads to quite a bit cringeworthy hilarity as well if someone decides to view it as canon. WC3, Nightelf campaign: "Tyrande, weird greenskinned beings are invading our lands!...on second thought, they look EXACTLY like the orc you loved so much that you cry in front of his statue every day!....So what should we do?"- "KILL THEM ALL!"

[@Kazeshini25663]

I must say, I loved the books as it had so many important characters, but I also hated how Time Travel was involved. It felt forced. And omw I could not get over Knaak's use of 'former and latter', he can write a book alone with home many times he uses it

[@kesefm1739]

I myself enjoyed the books. Not sure how the timetravel bit f*cks lore over. It really does not. That being said, it is perfectly fine you did not like the books. Does not mean Broxigar was not a bad ass Orc.

[@harleehall2032]

I remember my first time leveling through Dragonblight I was decided to finish all the quests even though everyone else had moved on and wanted me to as well. Then I saw that wrathgate and the battle for under city and it was epic! Needless to say everyone else went back and finished wrathgate lol

[@jpedroribeiro]

Wow such an awesome video. Broxxigar and Malorne part were perfect. Thank you

[@JediMIndaugas]

The most iconic and heartening moment for me was the re-ignition of the Sunwell. I always get a little bit teary to that, hehe.

[@Davidmoire96]

I am really glad you chose Malorne for the first one, when i read those chapters, i was amazed at how brave and determined Malorne was , and when he gets killed , it really got to me , even though i didn't know as much about Malorne other than that he was an Ancient, i love when Ysera swears vengeance against the Legion for Malorne's death , my favorite part of the book. All the Dragon Aspects do something amazing and well written in all three of those books.

[@SirMalorak]

Brox was the man. Seriously. Most badass moment in Warcraft indeed!

[@ScarletFlameful]

That was a really good video nixxiom. I personally liked the lore of Malorne and Archimonde too

[@blad3sing3r]

Thanks! Great video! IMHO WoWs most touching lore moments were the ones that bridged the RTS game with the MMORP. I think that once the MMORP got started it went into multiple directions lore-wise and in many cases had to come-up with silly story arcs in order to accommodate for what the game required at the time. So, felt chills when walking along the central avenue in the undercity, listening to the echoes of the bells that once welcomed the crown prince Arthas. Was truly amazed when I first caught a glimpse of the dark portal (where it all began). Walking into Demon Fall Canyon where Grom fell. Yes, these are just landmarks that I mention but the lore that they awaken is memorable. :)
