World of Warcraft SECRETS (Stormwind Dwarven District)

[@FullMotionVideos]

Since I've gotten the question multiple times, I just wanted to clarify: Nothing in this video was created using Artificial Intelligence. All of writing and narration was done by me, a normal, squishy, flesh and blood human! No Mechagnomes here. AI can be an excellent tool, but should be kept as that... a TOOL to aid in the creative process of real people, not a replacement for that creative process. I support human creators and artists, and hope you do too :) Thank you all!

[@CullenTheDuck]

Sounds like AI narration to me!

[@ThePrayable]

hey, love your videos, do you think there are refenenced in corrupted stormwind too? if there are, it would be lovely to check them out !

[@MurrmorMeerkat]

chad comment

[@nihlanecrolai]

I think some of the commenters are jealous of your wonderful voice. ;D And I 100% agree with your statement on AI, well said.

[@sam_youwells]

myself and likely many others appreciate the fact that you don't use AI voice narration for your videos, its so much more engaging and way less annoying to listen to

[@nyanomachines2587]

We need a compilation or 10 hour version of "Here, on your map!"

[@FullMotionVideos]

We'll get there someday! Not quite enough videos yet :P

[@adamtajhassam9188]

love the video makes me feel @ home , ya 15 min is too short 1 long great video is welcomed.

[@IvyTinwe]

I think there was a quest leading to the Cutthroat Alley, where you had to beat up a dwarf? Also, this nook is used for the Highelves on the TurtleWoW-server!

[@popelgruner595]

So my idea for the Auctioneer Lauffer is the "mistranslation" of the German Paul Renner (9 August 1878 - 25 April 1956). A different word for Renner ("Runner") in German would be Läufer (Laeufer or in this case Lauffer). He was an author and he designed the Futura typeface.

[@5530Bright]

I think the crate with the picture of a dwarf is an Earthen rather than an armored dwarf.

[@FullMotionVideos]

Ah good catch! Thanks for the correction! Also interesting that this would be on a crate in Stormwind...

[@5530Bright]

@@FullMotionVideos very interesting indeed, maybe some artifacts bound for Ironforge for the explorers league. Fantastic video as always. I enjoyed every bit and learn something new.

[@nickm9922]

​@@FullMotionVideosim pretty sure these crates appeared after AQ opening event. There are allso a bunch in IF with NE markings on them. These appeared in classic during the AQ opening event patch. I allways consider them some left over boxes with the 200.000 peacebloom we gathered

[@birkedstrom6963]

I can NOT explain how much I love these wow lore/exploring videos, Every time I get so excited!! You and these videos truly are the best!!

[@thomas_walker]

same!! they're wonderful

[@Manwendlil]

@@thomas_walker sadly to short...

[@overdrive112]

I recently started with classic and there seem to be a lot of music references, for example a lvl 53 quest called “All along the Watchtowers”, just like the jimi Hendrix song, an NPC named Grohl who non stop plays the drums like Dave Grohl, drummer of nirvana, a quest called “Crazed and confused”, much like dazed and confused by led zeppelin, "When Hallow's End is over we'll smash all these pumpkins” a line an npc says during hollows end, a reference to smashing pumpkins ‘today’, and much more. There is so much love and care in this game it never fails to amaze me. Truly awesome

[@leon_mart2518]

12:39 This might be a far stretch, but i like to think that "Daphne "The Rose" Bloom, is actually a reference to The Kids Show "Winx club" Where the "Main" Character is named "Bloom" And her Sisters name is "Daphne"... Could just as well be a coincidence tho!

[@nihlanecrolai]

Thank you SO much for continuing making these videos, despite being busy. I also love your Skyrim and Mass Effect videos. Your channel is a true gem. :)

[@Triginhil]

The Portal Trainer in Stormshield (Warlord Expansion) was named after my friends daughter. Actually, almost all of the npcs in that city were named after Blizzard employees' children. My friend told me of the memo being sent out a few days before public release and management saying they needed names for npcs lol

[@jameschristophercirujano6650]

Nice. It's back. I love this bit. Can't wait for Orgrimmar. It seems that you're stockpiling videos, and releasing them slowly in a span of time to implore the algorithm gods to recommend your channel. Like c'mon algorithm gods, a video of this quality deserve more views.

[@brettybcans]

I could be mistaken, but I believe Cutthroat Alley was used for a quest back in the old vanilla days. Where you would have to fight some people out there. Idk though, I haven’t played in a long time. Great video though!

[@Hecatate]

Can confirm, Before Cata and in Classic there is a quest chain that brings you there to find out info on the Defias Brotherhood......This is a LONG chain that spans many levels and dungeons....Pity it was removed in Cata....it was a fun chain to do.

[@Serphentin]

I believe that happened in the alley in Old Town.

[@Hecatate]

@@Serphentin It is in an alley in Old Town, over by the Pig and Whistle.

[@skippythewonderchicken7511]

I didn't think I'd enjoy these sorts of videos initially but you're doing an amazing job. I just want you to know I appreciate the hard work and hope you have a ton of fun making these!

[@keefedmk]

your videos are one of the best things on YT. keep up the great work man and, as always, For the Alliance!

[@RheaType]

I absolutely adore your videos - from your immersive roleplay storytelling of questlines to these environmental details and secrets in the World of Warcraft. A game that I'd love for you to cover is the immersive sim games of the Deus Ex franchise - particularly Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. The development team at Eidos poured a lot of love and attention to detail which has not gone unnoticed by the Deus Ex fans. It would be awesome for you to cover all these little secrets in the franchise!

[@bigmike2464]

I miss the keyring. I enjoyed getting the key to Searing Gorge and the Key to the Depths and getting attuned; There USED to be a cooking trainer named Stephen Ryback... Kind of a namesake for Steven Seagal's nay Sea/ Cook Casey Ryback

[@cuzy215]

Watched all of your warcraft related videos in 2 days. Liked every one of them. Subscribed. You are great sir! Keep it up!

[@floridaboz1]

Great coverage Does anyone else sometimes log into wow just to tour Stormwind to see if there is anything they missed? I have been playing for 15 years, and spent many hours in Stormwind, so there is not much I can find now, but i still have fun looking around.

[@apetit8687]

I love that you added billibub just because his name made you laugh, and tbh it is funny in a cute way, just like the dapper little gnome! Sad how many of these npcs have lost their flair due to quests being removed. City lore, interactive npcs, they contribute so much to an immersive real world feel. I understand why of course, it just makes me a bit nostalgic :,)

[@maximekhateeb7403]

😊p007😊

[@rapturescorner5964]

Love the animations at the beginning, very slick. Keep it up, you're about to hit it big I know it

[@dadtype2339]

11:04 They are a reference to the owners of Brookstone Stores. I think.❤ The former owner was Steven Goldsmith, I just know useless information, lol but I never paid them any attention, being a WoW player and Alliance since 2005, but when you said their names I just immediately thought of Steven Goldsmith and Brookstone or is it Brooke stone, stores. They sold cools stuff like a sharper image but with a L.L. Bean touch to it. Think there's only something like 34 stores left in the USA. Anyway. Thank you❤

[@aureliodeprimus8018]

Ah, Cutthroat Alley. Found it during Classic with my rogue while exploring the city. Felt right at home, and no one ever showed up there so i made this house my home and logged out there every time.^^

[@Ren3gaid]

Omg I just see now that you're back! And already uploaded some videos. That's amazing, my sunday is saved! :D

[@burgerqueen13]

I've been waiting for this ❤ thank you Lee!

[@AvelineMelena]

The cut throat alley was our rp HQ for so long. Brings me back

[@doubleaqua8092]

Today I will take a break from questing and will go explore this area. I never knew any of these details. How fun!❤

[@RiseSoup]

It is bizarrely satisfying how you say, "Here... on your map."

[@JaeJaezX1]

I love seeing your videos pop up on my home page, your production and writing quality is simply fantastic. Thank you for making such great content to watch!

[@Digital111]

Love these series! 👍

[@eangsyerbic6942]

"You can't be the Dwarf character, Butters. I'm the Dwarf."

[@TheSoaringLime]

Love these videos! It doesn't matter if the references isn't necessarily 100% accurate, it makes for more flavorful experiences of the world. Keep up the great work!

[@sjrmike]

if i remember right back in the beginning the rat was a introductory quest that you chased around stormwind to help a player explore the area. i could be mistaken though.

[@MichZilla90]

Happy your back, your one of the best channels that include wow, can’t wait to see more of these secrets videos, they’re my favorite!

[@djanovyak6480]

These videos soothe my anxiety 😂 nostalgia therapy. I love your account. Bro’s voice low key reminds me of Paul Rudd 🖤

[@MrFjappe]

If i recall correctly cut throat alley was used for a quest back in vanilla and tbc where the player was jumped by bandits or thugs. It might have been a rogue quest or something.

[@alind.c6105]

Continue do your homeworks and storytelling with WoW. It is absolutly awesome (:🎉

[@HPNomad]

Can't wait until you eventually do Kul Tiras

[@FullMotionVideos]

Someday! That entire area is so much fun and just packed with stuff. It's going to be a lot of work, but definitely worth it :)

[@anontar6316]

as allways....an absolutely amazin video. Incredible how perfect everything is

[@mystyinsandiego]

I am glad to hear it. Full respect to you. I shared this with my husband and was impressive by your voice and skill. 😊

[@TheCrankyGeek]

Here on your map!

[@Corndog1340]

I love this series so much, just so well done and very appreciated!

[@thereverendcoyote]

Back in vanilla cutthroat alley was where the rouge trainer was and if I remember correctly a poison vendor.

[@jonathanbell8887]

Cut throat alley used to be used for a rogue quest. I had to help a buddy do it many many years ago.

[@jonathanbell8887]

I just asked my buddy and he said it was to get poisons or how to use vanish or something that used a type of reagent in old school wow.

[@Dwarfi01]

Love the dwarven district, used to always relax there. Not sure why

[@Hironidin]

Your videos have touched me here... in my heart

[@PallyKalhi]

"Here, on your map" has become an inside joke between me and my partner. I love your videos so deeply ❤️

[@chrisbelos2834]

been playing classic for a while now and by god the map has changed so much over the years.

[@EdgeWalker6789]

I love you WoW videos keep up the hard, and great work!!

[@maniacmel6771]

I AM JUST HERE FOR MY DAILY DOSE OF ' HERE on your Map".

[@stevek4070]

I swear Cutthroat Alley is used for something or was at some point. I seem to remember being asked to go there and either steal something or spy on someone but you end up getting jumped by 3 npcs and have to fight your way out.

[@Cobwebhollow]

I swear at some point there was a questline, even if it was a temporary one, being in cut throat alley. I can't for the life of me remember what it was for but I remember it being very fitting at the time for that area

[@tubbyflatpack]

So excited, waited ages for this one!

[@TSMetaux]

the cutthroat alley definetely has a quest, you get lead here and then some dwarve try to beat you up lol

[@thethirdsicily4802]

Let's gooooo!

[@music4meh]

9:28 minor detail that would only clutter the video, but the book delineates how this binary ''duality of man'' is actually erroneous, as we are all pluralities with uncountable aspects and facets, infinite selves! It's a cool book, enjoyed reading it Concerning Auctioneer Lauffer, this could be a reference to Curacaon writer/activist Pierre Lauffer, although this is a stretch Love these videos!:D

[@Alwuwa]

Awesome video as always, thank you!

[@dreamermagister8561]

More! MOAR!!

[@Iowsbub]

What a good video, thank you so much mr. Lee!

[@loofmerrow]

Could Lauffner be a play on Faulkner? Just a thought. Love your videos!

[@theeldritchgamer1471]

As memory serves Cutthroat Alley had a dwarf npc related to the defias brotherhood questline.

[@darkside7802]

Came for the informative fun. Stayed for the “Here. On your map.”

[@Barsi429]

You should do a video about caer darrow and scholomance. :D

[@keykicker4]

in classic there was some sort of quest in the cuthroat ally, not sure maybe for the rouge?

[@landerbennewith6169]

I always assumed Fineas G Banworth was a reference to Milburn Pennybags, the "Monopoly man"

[@KukizWoW]

This channel is absolutly epic!

[@bloodpython013]

Love your vids, dude. Keep it up!

[@HamadAlMutairi97]

Proud Dark Iron Dwarf Shaman.

[@KroXikLP]

Awesome video

[@NightFistOG]

Awesome on how many secrets there are in stormwind

[@thomas_walker]

playing since 2007 and never once noticed it's "shoni the shilent" and not just "the silent"

[@jalzahn4404]

Finneus G. Bankworthy looks like the Monoply mascot, Milburn Pennybags. But you're probably right. 😅

[@Rougesteelproject]

Interesting that the Dwarf that throws fruit at Death Knights has a name that sounds like "Morgue".

[@adamraydj]

For sure Thorfin Stoneshield is a nod towards Thorin!

[@popelgruner595]

By the way "Pott's Plates" sounds very close to the German "Potzblitz!" as an expression of surprise.

[@Dantaroen]

Dont think i have actually ever been in cuttthoart alley in all the years i have played the game, what the hell !

[@michaelpettersson4919]

Blizzard could take drinks seriously. Beteshda did with Skyrim where an argonian barttender offers a number of drinks with fansy names. The KZbinr knowns as "How to drink" mixed these in an episode and apperantly they where supurb!

[@casperg5049]

Yaaay a new one!

[@Ally2_]

5:40 Coc spinner xD

[@roberthossler7282]

cutthroat alley used to be an area in classic that was part of a quest line but the NPCs are gone now

[@Buclock]

Nice I love these so much!! Hope to see one for each zone in azeroth

[@joxinbox8697]

Its fun how devs name npcs as reference to real ppl... Same as Haris Pilton in shatrath...

[@hrafnkol1404]

You know, you should make sure that when you pronounce "Cogspinner," someone doesnt think you said something else

[@graceantha]

omg babe, such a good video!

[@wave531]

Your video gives me Oxhorn vibes! HERE, HAVE LIKE!!
