After 5 years it was time to make an updated version of this one including new information from chronicles and further expansions/stories. You can find it here: th-cam.com/video/RKsNKZi5Ct8/w-d-xo.html
Wow i just saw this and go figure one day ago you posted a new one
Amazing man Amazing Thank you so much for making this and more . now i have learned the short version of WOW X''''')
OMG I WAS ABOUT TO REQUEST YOU XD
THANKS MAN
Can you Update it again?😅
I'm blown away by the response...it's just incredible. Thank you everyone, very happy that you enjoy the story!
you must be dutch
david janssen he is
haha dutch accents are so easy to recognise (spelling is to hard today =,=)
ben zelf ook nederlandstalig :)
ja ik ook
Blizzard needs to give you your own title of Loremaster to use in game.
I’ve been playing this game since 2013 and still have no idea what is going on.
Yeah right me too hahahaha
Me 2 !!! Lol I'm so much fun
I've been playing since 2006 and I'm now not sure what's going on. Pretty sure blizzard is throwing shit together at this point
00:50 “so we don’t actually know if the WoW was created by a single entity or a massive cosmic explosion.”
Sounds like a familiar topic.
Oh my god you want a laugh, open English CC and watch this.
"All over Denmark, portals were opened.."
"York Senator McCain"
"Indians, which are mainly humans ... resisted the horse invasion"
This is a gem.
omg yes!! understanding the lore that way is way more fun :p
omg yes!! understanding the lore that way is way more fun :p

+Robert “TangFiend” James I WAS SO CONFUSED.
+Robert “TangFiend” James dude ilove youuu you made me laugh so hard with this comment lol
I feel like I'm trying to learn string theory.
hilarious comment
hilarious comment
I'm sure he just trolled you ;)
*facepalm*
nerds are supposed to be smart but none of you realize it's a joke...idiots...troll if you like but none of you would say jack to my face
17:55 If you turn cc/subtitles on for english, when Thrall screams after the death of Grom, the scream is transcribed as "lmao all".
Watching again in 2022, no matter the state of the series.
Sometimes, you have to overlook the faults of the creator to find the beauty in the creation.
And you've always done a magnificent job of portraying it to us. Thank you.
Alright, so this is for the few times that I take the time to actually write a comment. It was the most joyful wow lore I have ever heard, without want to even stop for a second! Bro can you please make a new video for the continue now? Or give me a link if you already did when garrosh travels and he kills the time traveller etc.
Thank you very much! I upload new lore videos every Monday, but the story about the killing can be found here: th-cam.com/video/JPGZ052tr7k/w-d-xo.html
It's been just over a year since this video was released...Thank you everyone for all your kind comments over the year!
Nobbel87 Love your videos and this one made a lot of the other make more sense. Thanks for entertaining me while I level ;)
Nobbel87 I Just found your videos but I fully intend to watch your great lore explanations. Subscribed!
Nobbel87 Please make yearly additions to this video, to keep up to date!
Nobbel87 I have never really been a big fan of lore but you really opened my eyes :D
Nobbel87 Your 'R' is fucking annoying. Stop tryharding.
Omg, these subtitles. Apparently Kalimdor is called "The Land of Calendar" i'm fucking dying right now.
😅😅😅
According to the subtitles Garrose's tyranny is called "Gay Russian Tyranny". At 39:10 .
omg im glad im not the one that was like wtf at the subtitles lmao
Shark errors :D
Garrosh = gay rights 😁
I am about to happily lose days of my life going through this amazing playlist. Thank you, Nobbel! I was referred to your channel by a fan!
Enjoy and tell them I said thanks!
I just wanted to take a quick look at this video...and now it's 40 minutes later. How did you do this? :D
Great video, i really enjoyed it!
*magic* Happy you enjoyed!
will you make a new version of this video when all 3 chronicles books are released ?
Stay away from the Voodoo, man.
Why did the subtitles say lmao when the orc was roaring at 17:50
+Luke Campbell-Lyons The elements of Drain Or , the ones who were working for the showers of the Yorks...
Cause is was funny
Lmfao disjointed our portal lol
The subtitles are hilarious c5m 20 Killed Eight and (Kil'jaden) "the battle a chapter" (the battle at Shattrath), "So Kill Jaden left Yorks to their fate"
Watching this with captions on turns it into a comedy.
I know. I couldn't stop farting! LMAO!
I meant to say laughing. FMAO!
Syntax Sandbox no you didn’t
ZogJhones Voice to text utterly failed. The subtitling absolutely massacred any semblance of the narrative.
The evil titan sir garris.
I wish you would do an update for the current expansions.
That would be nice
Those don't matter
God no. Just focus on classic
zeranzeran you’ll play classic for a month and go back watch.. I played classic I’m not going back
zeranzeran I rather play boA
this video is crazy. I didn't know the story of Warcraft is so intense and complicated
I know it’s an old video but it was still good to see it and it helped to explain so much! Good job man 👍
Hey, i am new to WOW and after watching this video it helped me understand the lore much more. I really appreciate the work you put in this video. It looked like it was fun making the video as well with all the old scenes and graphics. Keep doing work like this, it helps us noobs!
I just started trying to get into WoW after not playing since I was a dumb kid. I literally had no idea what the fuck was going on but your videos are helping me piece things together. 👌🏻
@The Great Skitimus The whole game is quite confusing to me but for some reason I still enjoy it.
Thank you for this upload. Finally I understand the Warcraft history. Btw, I wonder how Garrisons would be explained in a video like this? "The Horde and the Alliance built Garrisons for each and every member, and they stayed in their Garrisons all the time, alone, and socialization stopped existing in the Warcraft universe".
***** Ok you got me laughing!
Thralls Scream at 17:50 with Subtitles on says "LMAO ALL"
theimmortalmoo LOL!
THE FUC?! LMAO
You've done such an awesome job making this video and explaining the amazing history of World of Warcraft, as a huge fan and dedicated player of the game, I wanted to personally thank you. I recommend everyone who plays World of Warcraft, especially our new players to take a moment of their time to watch this, so that they can get a much more complete understanding of this fantastic game. Plus with the additional links you have provided a player can explore even deeper into World of Warcraft's lore. Again thank youBlessed BE
I'm into warcraft since warcraft 3, that's like 16 years now, and now I can finally say I've connected MOST of the dots. Thank you for this awesome video
Watching it in nearly 2017. Not even playing WoW for like 2 years now. Damn man. So good work! Thanks a lot! Awesome!
The Legion is like cartoon villains. Whatever they try to achieve their goal, they always fail. Sargeras is probably shaking his fist at Azeroth "I'm gonna get you!". I honestly can't decide who had more useless minions, him or Sauron. XD
Holy gotdamn shit, I'm only 10 minutes in and this feels like an advanced college class.
Just started playing WoW and realized I was skipping a lot of quest dialogue because I felt kind of lost in the overarching story. This helped fill in so many gaps for me and makes the world that much more interesting, immersive, and enjoying :) great work on this. thanks a lot
Make another revamped version of this video please I'd love to see how much better abd more changes are made as your style has become alot better over time also love your vids can't wait to see what's next
Love your videos man. I always enjoy making a bowl of popcorn and plunking down in front of my laptop, enjoying a nice playlist of lore. Good shit through and through.
addicted to wow lore :3
man 3 years later and you still kick ass Thank you for this 42 minutes of learning
I am still watching or "re-watching" your videos...and i never thanked you for your great work ...so -> Thank you very much ;)
I feel so confused, I love this but I wished you had explained a little slower and a little bit more when a new character was presented. New characters came all of a sudden and I just lost track of everything haha..
tkdmh Same exact thing happened to me. Some of the races looked cool to me and with the new live action film coming up I thought I'd brush up on some history but I am very lost XD
StephySon Yeah, it was really confusing but I tried to read up on it instead and learn the basics and after that I watched this again and then it was a little easier to understand xD
tkdmh sadly the lore is so much xD this is just a brief overview though, Nobbel is really good at going in depth on the actual character for their different videos :)
tkdmh Perhaps the Warcraft film can start something that non players interested in the lore can begin to understand.
StephySon Yeah, that was what I was thinking, it would be awesome!
34:50
"literally dropped a man Obama on the CD itself"
AHAH XD wtf youtubes subtitels are so bad :D
Obama's mixtape is lit. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
33:20
For the Dong Nai ancient mines!!!
Also
22:48
Can believe that gay rush was behind the subject.
Tremble before the mighty Gay Rush Hellscream!
Thrall's yell of sadness at Grom's death still gives me chills to this day.
Fantastic video. Thanks for putting all that lore together
Watch with captions its hilarious! Grom sacrifice cut scene. LMAO ALL!!!
17:36 haha
hahahahhahahah XD
The captions make this even better... Orcs are corks 😂😂😂
Or the sylvanas banshee scene "i will not give you onions!"
War of the Ancients - warty engines ... lolol!
This might be good for people before (or possibly after) they watch Warcraft. :)
Those subtitles though.. lol
Right? "Eventually they reached the planet as we now know as Ralph..."
It looks like they hired Siri to do the subtitles, there was more errors than I could count. There must have been hundreds of subtitles and pretty much every second one had a serious word substitution that made no sense... "They assaulted Shattrath city" - "They assaulted shop a city" I could write a book on the errors, I pity the foo with the volume down.....
god damnit ralph
Dude, im new to WoW and the way you explain things WITH pictures. I never once got lost. This is so goooood!
17:56 subtitles on "lmao all"
After watching the WARCRAFT movie, now I'm interested to its lore. And luckily I found your video, thank you very much!
From 4:50 lore, will help understanding the movie. :)
Considering today is June 4th, and the movie comes out June 10th which is 6 days away..... -_-
You realise that other countries have different release dates, right? I watched the movie yesterday...
+Aj C. It was released the 24th of May in many European countries. I watched it the 26th
An idea came up when i watched this:
What if, as Arthas was weakened during his battle against Illidan, Old God actually hindered Illidans vision?
For people wondering, Arthas and Illidan were evenly matched when Arthas was at his full power.
And as Old Gods would benefit from turmoil of war that Arthas would bring, they clouded Illidans vision and prevented him from seeing final attack, as Illidan would had easy time to react to Arthas attack because Illidan just made bit space between himself and Arthas.
Dude, Illidan is blind (although he has some sort of magical vision). And at the time of this battle, Arthas was actually empowered by the Lich King so he could kick Illidan's butt.
actually Illidan is not blind ._. go check his full story in one of nobbel's vids
Actually he is. He doesn't have the normal sight that you and I do. However, Sargeras gave him a special vision. He now sees the magic. For example, he can see how powerful an individual is. Go check his story in the novels. ._.
volimNestea
Well it is for debate is he truly blind or not, for as he has bandage over his eyes, he sees almost same as elf or man next to him, but along whit normal sight, he sees magic.
LK empowered Arthas before the battle for ICC however let's be honest in WC 3 you could solo the entire mission with Anub'arak. Such OP hero downed in Trial of Crusader ;(
I have had so much trouble getting my head around the vast amounts of lore. Thank you so much for this.
My mind is dead...I probably passed out in the mid way on this video...just too many names to many wars with too many betraying and backstabbing....
Yh kinds like irl. If only greed never existed :/
I passed out in the beginning i woke up and it was still going :)
Wow. That reminds me of the the time I tried to get into Game of Thrones. I did get in eventually, but it was not easy. I recommend learning things little by little. WoW lore isn't too difficult for me. When I play, it comes in little by little. There are a lot of simple quests where the player has to quest for bear flanks or the like. When playing, this is easier to handle. I got into the lore later. By then it was easier to figure out, because I gained some familiarly. Baby steps can take you a long way. :)
@Benjamin Schaetzle
Benjamin, be careful on who you point that middle finger to, because I can track you down and break your jaw...just saying, if it's online doesn't mean you have total privacy and a guy like you can be easily tracked
god dam i zone out for 1 second and then im fucked great video thou :)
PAY ATTENTION!! XD
i fucking love warcraft. most awesome lore in the universe
Not only that, thankfully thousand upon thousands of hours of lore.
Each race has its own lore so it's tremendous amount of lore to get into.... That's why the Warcraft movie was pacing was so bad,
not only each race, but also each race has tens of leaders that all have their own stories... and even creatures like the elementals and the dragon aspects and the burning legion... im really sad i didnt invest time in learning the lore years ago...
Janbay Hatukay yeah same. i was too young to understand the story when i played the old warcrafts. imagine how cool it would be if you know the whole lore and play WoW for the first time.
Thrannn yeah same, i was too young to understand warcraft 3 so i didnt bother with it. now i kinda know some lore from playing hearthstone and reading about the cards on the wiki. but still, i envy the people who played all from warcraft 1 to world of warcraft and know all the lore.
"And now that my task is done,i will take my place amongst the legends of the past". Shivers down to spine!
Them R's he be rolling...
Great video for people like me that dont really focus on lore in game. I mainly pvp and rarely run dungeons and raids so I would be lost if it wasn't for this. I'm still curious as to what happened to Thral and at what point he disappeared.
if only i can remember chemistry like i remember WoW lore
So, I've been playing since TBC and needed a really fast way to introduce my gf to WoW, and man, you made it.
Thanks a lot for this beautiful compilation that brought tears to my eyes
such a complex story... alwas drive myself mad trying to look deep into everything. i get obsessive trying to know the life story of every character. glad i found this channel, makes it way easier. thank you times one thousand.
i only just realized at the 30 minute portion this guy was saying "in the end" and not calling the humans indians
Ahh now the movie trailer makes sense
+Tomiwa Aina If you play warcraft 3 you got the gist of what their likely to do, or atleast how it will startoff. Alternatively you could look up on the wc3 lore/campaign gameplay to get the same result.
+dnw009 Warcraft 3 is mostly set after the movie's events. Warcraft 1 and 2 cover it way more.
The CC for this video is fucking hilarious!
While the lore of Warcraft is fascinating in any measure, I am particularly pleased with your video thanks to your dynamic narration. There are a great many narration videos on TH-cam that are, even when given a studio-grade polish, plagued with a bland and lifeless narration. Yours, by comparison, is lively, sparkling, with shifting pitches and tones that ebb and flow with the story. You have done a fantastic job, and I am looking forward to diving into more of your work.
Plot for the Warcraft movie is around 7:46
Amazing.....thank you very much for this "short' Version of WC and WOW.... I've been playing WC since it came out and spilled over into WOW. I kinda think I will die one day in front of my PC playing WOW ;)
Please can you send me the links off all your other detailed lores. I would love to go back and freshen up again :)
Thx a mill
If you go to my playlists you should be able to find the ones called "lore of Warcraft" and "Lore of warcraft reversed". Those lists are all my storyvideos ^_^
World Of Warcraft has the best lore in any video game 10/10
league of legends : am i a joke to you
@@heithembenmhni6374 bruh
@@MolmorJS huh?
@@heithembenmhni6374 league's lore is not implemented in the game like WoW's is.
@@AzSehn league of vaginas can go put a used tamp in it.
I'm new to Warcraft's universe and started playing WoW a few days ago. I've learned a lot from your video, you did a really good work here ! Now I have a better understanding of the characters I hear about when I play.
Ouch. My head
Awesomely made! Prety cool, nice accent, Nobbel87 , i have a question, if you want you could answer that in a Q&A Video(Love your channel :D), Where is Varimathras , all i know from Warcraft is that he helped Sylvanas defeat Balnazar, shouldnt he be at Undercity ? What happened ?
Good question!!!
He "died" (As a dreadlord he cant really die tho) in the Seige of Undercity, he helped Putricide with the takeover.
Varimathras was the one behind the betrayal of the Forsaken. Or rather, behind the betrayal of some of the Forsaken. If I remember correctly, when the disaster at the Wrath Gate happens, the plot for the Horde end up with retaking the Undercity by killing Varimathras. So, he is dead, by Thrall's and Sylvanas's hand
androkguz "dead" Demons can't die in Azeroth. They can only be killed in their home, The Twisted Nether.
Ah, okay thanks :) ! Was wondering where :)!
I know more about Warcraft lore than I do about real world history
This is awesome, you are so thorough... I just started the game and felt like I was lost, this makes it so much clearer!
30:14 looks like Bolvar Fordragon says the exact words Nobbel does.
Lol. Thats funny.
I just noticed that and I laughed so much after xD
hahahaha
37:50 with subtitles
My Molten Body is Ready. *hits play*
not even the biggest fan of this game but i have to admit the lore is flipping amazing. Thank you bro for doing this
I recommend viewing this video 2 times. Once without subtitles so you can learn, and once with subtitles to laugh your ass off seeing how bad they are hahaha
I still get mad at the panda claiming that panda's suffered most of all from Garrosh. Entitled bastards.
Well, to be honest, they atleast were the most innocent.
They had enough shit to deal with and then got into a war that wasn't theirs to fight. Also, on top of the war they now had to deal with, the Sha rose again.
They had enough shit to deal with, but it was so shortlived that I'd say that the pandaren are, as you said, entitled little shits.
How can you be mad at such a puffy thing :3
Every single Pandaren zone suffered in some way because of the war. Kun Lai with the Sha of Anger and the Yaungol, The Vale (obviously), Valley of the Four Winds with the Mantid invasion, Krasarang with the Sha of Despair, war and the Mantid, Jade Forest with the Sha of Doubt and the war. Meanwhile in Teldrassil, Stormwind, Ironforge or Exodar... nothing. It can be argued that trolls overall had it worse, but no one else gets to complain that they had it worse than Pandaren did.
I feel bad for Illidan, his twin brother "stole" is love, he was imprisoned for 10 thousand years, then we killed him for no reason, he was only building an army to fight KJ
His brother didn't "steal" his love. Tyrande chose Malfurion over Illidan, from what I understand. This is not stealing.
Gordonkris Which, I think, is why "stole" is in quotation marks.
I believe Illidan felt Malfurion stole Tyrande from him, but Tyrande chose Malfurion.
BaronVonHoovy Indeed.
I already read many about the Warcraft Lore.. and I have to say: Your Video is aweseom! As you said you haven't mentioned every event in detail but you gave a look on the main events. I love your explanation! 10/10 would recommend!
14:42 "Medivh was ressurected BY HIS MOTHER" Kappa 123
Gomace, The Dirt 5 Rengar I just started uploading WoW vids, come check me out if y’all are interested!
probably the same reason it thinks Azeroth is ASRock lol
Hahahaha when thrall battle cries the subtitles read " Lmao all"
I can't understand the part from 8:24 to 8:38. who's the "he" you are talking about here? thanks in advance
btw: I really like your video though it gives a good and brief summary of the story for beginners! This helps me out a lot! subscribed :D
The real medivh, not Sargeras using his body and powers
so Sargeras controled medivh.?
The subtitles messing up is hilarious and comedy gold idk why this is so funny! 10/10 video just because of that I love it!
You forgot the one major thing:the curse of flesh which made the creatures and humans
The moral of the story?
If some muscular sweaty bloke offers you drink something off him and be grateful for the privilege... don't.
***** Ha ha, I see what you did there ;)
+Yuri PRIME Did English run away from you? I'm just wondering...
Carter Stoick Nope.
+Yuri PRIME they got off light, could've been roofies :O
Warcraft trailer brought me here.
+David French everything after Warcraft 1 Orcs Versus Humans will be pointless. The movie essentially takes place during the first video game Orcs Vs Humans
+Lilz and even then, some things in War1 got retconned anyhow :p
porn brought me here... odd.
This fills in so many holes in the lore for me! There's so much I didn't understand. Gives greater value to the current state of the game I think. Thanks for this!
uh nobbel you said that anduin lead then his father Varian took over. uhm bud That was Anduin Lothar that was before Varian and lothar was a friend of Llane (varians father) .... some time later Varian named his son after Anduin Lothar
Actually you are wrong. When Anduin was young Varian was abducted. Leading to him being crowned king of Stormwind. After Varians returned he was named High King again.
Who else came here after watching the movie?
Me lol, Sad thing tho that Medive's Character didnt follow the lore, Full out
What do you mean? How did it now? ( i dont know my wow lore very well)
I think they did a good job following the lore and making an actual movie. The story always suffers when making movies. It's about compromise. Just my opinion tho.
Yup haha i just wanted to know more.
does anyone else feel like the lore is getting worse because wow is obliged to make final bosses?
It's been that way since WoW came out. Just as the video states, the story line was linear when warcraft an RTS game. When WoW came out in 2004, there wasn't much of an overarching story line other than Alliance and Horde fighting over random bosses around the world of Azeroth. After that, it all depends on which expansion you choose; some have stronger stories, some don't.
Never saw a video that good explaining the lore of WoW. Awesome job you did there, Nobbel. Really hope you keep doing videos for a long time, since they help out a lot.
Gets to end of video, still doesnt undertand shit.
lol
+Serene SeaBear I had to watch it a few times to get it, he skips A TON of detail. Check out the individual stories, also check out Hirumaredx channel, he has some good lore videos and easier to understand (english wise). Disguised Toast hearthstone channel as some awesome origins stories too.
you mean, Stils doednts understands shits :D
+Lateralus GT thanks buddy good looking out
Thank you
Will there ever be a part 2? :D
Excellent outline of the story of World of Warcraft up through Mists of Pandaria. There is a lot of content I never managed to play through, so this video was very helpful to me in understanding the overall picture.
SCRAP ALL OF THIS. the jailer did it all LMAO.
I dont play WOW anymore but damn the warcraft lore is amazing!
The story of Sargeras is the story of Morgoth from LOTR
Wow. That is so interesting. That reminds me of the story of Satan from the Bible. I noticed this when I read the Simirillian. I was thinking "Whoa! Tolkien's Catholicism is showing." In these stories there are holy people creating the world. Then one of them seperates from them and become evil. The Burning Legion of WOW even resemble Satan's forces since they involve demons, shadow and fire. I imagine this kind of story is about the loss of innocence and the development of the ego. The ego helps separate oneself from the divine source so they can be proud and strong. It is a double-edged sword of making people intelligent but corrupt. This quality of the ego is like the apple that Satan gave to the humans in order to corrupt them. In WOW , there is a similar event. The orcs drink demon blood. It makes them both powerful and evil. From there the Bible is a complex story about humans struggling against Satan and trying to connect with God. There are various prophets that help people get to God. One of the most important was Moses. He founded Judaism, which is the first of a trio of monotheistic religions. Judaism would help free humans from Satan. At the same time, Moses rescued the Jews from the slavery in Egypt and led them to the Promised Land of Israel. My favorite character in Warcraft Lore is Thrall. I have heard people comparing him to Moses without explaining why. Personally I thought Thrall was like Harriet Tubman. There is a similarity of freeing people from slavery and being African. Now I finally get the Moses similarity when I think about it. Thrall freed the orcs from slavery, like Moses freeing the Jews from slavery. Then Thrall rejected demonic corruption and turned to the religion of shamanism. That is like how Moses founds Judaism. In the end of the Warcraft movie, a baby Thrall was even floating on a river before he got adopted by the humans. That is very distinctive thing that happened to Moses, when he was a baby. It is interesting how stories can be alike like this.
thank you so much for this awesome video. i wanted to play all 3 warcraft games while waiting for classic to learn more about the lore, but i just can't get into this genre, it's not for me. so this video here means very much to me. thank you very much.
wow...the lore is very similar to Warhammer 30-40k lore....I respect and love both franchise...there was rumours in the past that Blizzard had a meeting with Games workshop and ask to make a video game based on Warhammer but Games Workshop declined...but later on Starcraft 2 and other games was created...from this on Games workshop supporters hated Blizzard...but in a way I love blizzard because it shows they are successful by out smarting another franchise
That was before Warcraft I not before Starcraft II. The game was supposed to be named Warhammer, so they went with Warcraft.
yeah I know but just saying.
Hi, i absolutely agree with your post... From the first minute i tought it seems very parable to Horus heresy. Seregas?=>Horus Lupercal?
Actually Starcraft 2 is Warhammer 40k Space marines-> Space marines (Legiones Astartes), Protoss-> Eldar, Tyranids-> Zergs. Warhammer lore is so much darker and denser and better in a way, but Games Workshop kills it so hard.
hey yeah I know what you mean, I agree with you that games workshop has killed it...:(
Ondřej Hruška Correct me if i'm wrong, but when Starcraft first came out (1998), didn't Tyranids look like disco dickbugs? It is clear that GW was inspired by the Zerg when they made the new 'Nid sculpts. And it is a pretty big stretch to compare space elves with the Protoss...
The only problem I have with this is your use of WoWPedia's unofficial timeline (and no, WoWWiki's is absolutely no better). While Blizzard constantly refuses to give us a true, tangible timeline, it's generally agreed upon that, in the lore, each expansion took more than 1 year (save for the Vanilla - BC gap). This is especially true for Wrath, as almost everywhere I've read, it's agreed that the campaign in Northrend took 3 years from first landfall until the fall of the Lich King.
For the most part, I've counted it as:
Vanilla - BC: 1 year
BC - Wrath: 2 years
Wrath - Cata: 3 years
Cata - MoP: 1-2years (debatable)
MoP - WoD: 2 years
For most people this probably doesn't matter. BUT, as a roleplayer, this has... caused a number of infuriating inconsistencies.
Blizzard released the Ultimate Visual Guide which has an official timeline starting from year
-10.000 with the War of the Ancients.
-6800 Quel'thalas founded
-2800 The troll wars
-230 War of the three hammers
0 the first war
5 Fall of stormwind
6 the second war
8 destruction of Draenor
18 the new Horde
20 the third war
21 battle of mount hiyal
22 rise of the Lich King
25 Gathering Storm (classic)
26 BC
27 WotLK
28 Cataclysm
30 MoP
rekt
Nobbel87 Huh. Really? I've never seen this before. Well then, as much as I REALLY dislike their timeline... thank you for replying and clearing that up for me.
By the time we actually get to meet Alleria and Turalyon they will be really, really old...
Wlarius
Alleria is a highelf so for her it doesn't matter that much, but Turalyon..
Hey! I'm a new WoW player! Loving the experience and friendly community! I have just started to upload my own progression onto TH-cam so those talented in WoW can hand down their experience and skills whilst those new can learn and follow my journey through WoD! Looking for new audience willing to take on a new TH-camr :) All is welcome
This is an amazing summary. Thank you very much for telling the story, which I and all the others have played through over all those years.
Wow compared to Warcraft 3 doesnt even get close in story telling experience.
Blizzard should learn storytelling from Warcraft 3 how it was made, and somehow implement that to World of warcraft.
The Pandaria way of telling stories is pretty good, was just unfortunate that the Pandarian storyline sucked massive balls.
I don't think Wow is too bad at telling the stories. As long as you quest properly, and read everything that is offered to shown to you, follow all the dialogues presented to you. You get a very good story telling experience. You kind of have to level a character from the beginning on both factions, do all the dungeons and raids, and now do scenarios. There are a lot you need to do, but if you do it all you get all the story you could ask for. It's just more tedious that's all, and I don't think there is much to do about that in the kind of game Wow is compared to Wc3.
World of warcraft shoulld be RTS !
Maciek Nowak You are done talking forever.
Maciek Nowak cant tell if it retarded or troll but WoW came from an RTS called Warcraft
So why is Thrall Green again ? His parents refused to drink the blood but he is green....
The curse expanded to the entire orc race, and all the children born since then.
Francois Millard but according to lore, then Thralls parents were some of few who didnt drink the blood.
Yeah thats why i ask....
And as I said, the curse expanded to the ENTIRE orc race, it didn't matter some orcs didn't drink it. All it needed was a few.
TsunaTsurugi The point is that the green colour on the major part of the orcs came from the earth of Draenor itself. The elements refused to help the horde against de draenei and, as a result, their skin changed. Only a few that werent on the main clans in that moment (as Garrosh, who had a child disease) didnt change at all. The blood demon on their veins only influence their ocassional red eyes, but the skin is a planet "punishment". More details can be found on the book "rise of the horde" and "the lord of the clans" if you want :3
