I agree - I think it would be great to see Stratholme finally turned into something more than a mass grave, and to see it rebuilt into its former glory. Great idea, Rethan!
@@davidwilson2916 Would be cool if it was similar to Mount Hyjal where the more quests you finish the more the area changes, make it plaguelands wide so people have reason to actually go back to the area. Maybe a little less daily quest grinding, one thing I didn't care for in that area
I loved Stratholme and Scholomance, especially before the new versions from Cata. It had something so intense and tragic, you really needed to think when going in there.
I really like what they did back in the day with this instance. It is my favorite instance together with Scholo, both having so much atmosphere and stuff going on. Naxx was also pretty damn good, even though I never got to it in classic. So basically: most of the scourge stuff in classic had alot of vibes going for them. Creepy, depressing stuff, but I think it was well done.
Fun fact, i had to farm 550 times Strath for the Baron Mount and it used to take me around 30 mins each run. The horrible mount never dropped. Now thats how you waste your life ;p
I still like the dungeon, but omg, can't it drop >_> I knew people with 1-50 farms that got it. Not that many. Even people with 100 or 200 farms were making fun of my luck lol ;p
I read a decent amount of warcraft lore from the books. But I still enjoy listening to these videos even if I know most of the story there's always cool things I didn't know about mentioned in every video.👍
I always thought that Arthas was in the right to purge the city. Almost everyone was infected. They would all have been mindless ghouls flooding the Alliance lines. Quarantine would've only delayed the inevitable.
10:19 He is probably a reference to one of Till Lindeman's performance :P Or a reference to the Flugschau incident, because it is written with only one "M" in its name. Idk
In Arthas’ defense, Malganis would’ve turned them all into the undead if he didn’t stop him. It wasn’t a good thing but it would’ve worse if he hadn’t.
My prior guild had a joke about gnomes and dwarves in plate armor. We called them gnome/dwarf in a can. Roll them up, stuff them in a cannon and shoot the boss. Instant win😅😋
And what is life? There is life because of light. Without it, everything just dies. Its about darkness, against the light. And a metaphor for hope. Even lotr, any vampire movie, many zombie movies/games etc doing it that way.
@@RichyRich2607 Well ... in WoW, life is not in the same sphere as light. So the light should not be '' 'super effect' 'against undead ... At that time (before the chronicles), Blizz probably joined to this common sense about Light / good, overcoming evil / Undead.
Thank You for this great lore video sir ! I must say, watching this video made me think how could it would've been to add an obscure character (she's a character from before the final form and launch of classic WoW ) called Finnall Goldensword .wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/Finnall_Goldensword I think she could've been an interesting character to W3Frozen Throne, Classic WoW or Cataclysm. Maybe she could have gotten her own quest chain ; fighting a guerilla style war against the Scourge in the Plaguelands and eventually building stronger forces and join the Alliance and Horde at the battle of Icecrown Citadel. Could be turned into an enemy or a follower to be recruited by the player in future expansions. And could give Jaina's part of the story different perspectives. I used to play W3 and as far as WoW goes I'm mainly interested in the lore and Finnall is one of my favourite characters .Seeing how far the story has progressed it's fun to speculate what characters like these could've brought to the lore and story had they been included in the final game. Once more thank You for this video. I'm looking forward to watching the next one . And to anyone reading this comment from start to finish : Have a great day!

I want stratholme to be the new forsaken capital as soon as Calia becomes their new leader.
The Rethan-Family that would be so cool

Even as someone who has played this game for over a decade, I always learn something from these videos. Keep up the good work, Nobbel.

The scarlet attire make them look like a bunch of fanatic Canadian.
As a Canadian I approve this message.
I can imagine their warcry, like 100k canadians all at once "Who's sorry?! WE'RE SORRY! RAAAAAAWWWR!!"
@@aonirsplayground6224 Some day, Canada will take over the world.
And then you'll all be sorry.
Do a history of an important character you haven’t covered yet.
5:07 “TIMMY!”
LOL
@Grey World
I know it's a joke and all, but he actually did, sorta. Look for the timestamp in the description:

"Of Love and Family"

Ok there, Blizzard.
Didn't Postman Malone just release a song with an undead warlock named Ozzy?
Keep up the great videos. I haven't played WoW in years but feel kept up through your content. Thanks! Also I love the lore videos.
The final incarnation of the legendary Strathholm. A pet battle dungeon.
What hell hath thou wrought, Blizzard?
it still a normal dungeon i tnot like they removed to add the pet battle version....
that Timmy guy screaming his name had me crying over here XD TIMMAH!
Didn't know you had a voting on whether Arthas did the right thing. Anyway I would've chose yes he did even though it was fucked up what he had to do.
Fun fact, i had to farm 550 times Strath for the Baron Mount and it used to take me around 30 mins each run. The horrible mount never dropped. Now thats how you waste your life ;p

So many fond memories of this place
Love this series thanks.
Wait... Post Master Malown? Post Malone?
yap!
10:19 He is probably a reference to one of Till Lindeman's performance :P
Or a reference to the Flugschau incident, because it is written with only one "M" in its name. Idk
In Arthas’ defense, Malganis would’ve turned them all into the undead if he didn’t stop him. It wasn’t a good thing but it would’ve worse if he hadn’t.
For this video did you go through the Caverns of Time? Was it a Time Walking Event or a Heroic?
Holy shit they're going to make Warcraft 3 remastered look better than WoW
Well, to be fair. 2020 game vs. 2005 game, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise. But damn, does it look good....
Lol, they didn't do it, Blizzard delivered some incomplete buggy shit.
My prior guild had a joke about gnomes and dwarves in plate armor. We called them gnome/dwarf in a can. Roll them up, stuff them in a cannon and shoot the boss. Instant win😅😋
Can you make a lore video about Belore?
what about the old legendary weapon quest and the secret boss?
Great video as always, but I want to know is. When is Reforged coming out!
maybe Blizzcon
0:22 Man, if i had ended up participating in that poll i probably would have ended up somewhere in The Middle
whats the same of the sword in 1:41 ?
Arthas I cannot Arthas, this Arthas, Arthas Arthas.
Any link to the thumbnail art don't see it in description :(
was that timmy voice dialog from the game or was it from south park?
Definately south park, but it was a nice touch lol
Its from the game
Why the Undead are weak against Light? In the chronicles, the cosmic force that opposes death is life ...
Yes life not light
And what is life? There is life because of light. Without it, everything just dies. Its about darkness, against the light.
And a metaphor for hope.
Even lotr, any vampire movie, many zombie movies/games etc doing it that way.
@@RichyRich2607 Well ... in WoW, life is not in the same sphere as light. So the light should not be '' 'super effect' 'against undead ...
At that time (before the chronicles), Blizz probably joined
to this common sense about Light / good, overcoming evil / Undead.
@@pobre-vazio all this lore was set up way before chronicles :) so back then light did counter undead but technically that has changed now
just to clarify things light is holy magic and stuff while life is nature magic like druid stuff
Back then, we referred to the two sides as living and undead. For me that was Andorhal US. Perhaps it was different on EU servers.
Could you please please do a story of Chen stormstout. You would be my best friend lol
10:11 Du
Du hast
Du hast mich
why is the scarlet crusade dead now?
WOHO!
Didn't knew about Rivendare's son , boy the blood elf are evil, shades of grey my ass
Eternal Flames. I think this is some Touhou reference
Nobbel! Do story of wotlk expansion plees. And keep up the good work !
Post Malone lives in Strath?
Is it Will-ey or Why-ley? I presumed the latter
Men who know everything about wow lore
char names: nobs-nobyie-nobsie-nobey-nobienope-noblethehop :/
Maleki almost sounds like malakai from warhammer.
Srsly my Gf still shout F*CK all when hear some beloved youtube to make jokes about pet battles :D

Wait.. Postmaster Malown? Sounds way too similar to Post Malone. Maybe there's a connection ;)

Karl "The Mailman" Malone
Considering that talentless hack was 9 when vanilla came out I doubt it.
