Man you're a really good and charming warcraft content creator, don't limit your self by just covering classic WoW forever, the orc clans video showed how awesome and entertaining your stuff can be when you're not boxed in.
@@Vektor480 I admittedly only watched the first minute before leaving the comment so my bad on that. But my point still stands i'd love to see his sense of humor and paper cut outs applied to Legion or other newer expansions.
@@rdsasuke1 Sure thing, I totally agree. Even though the lore of the game went a bit downhill after Pandaria (imo), more plat content will always be welcome, I don't care even if he talks about other games
Totally agree and I plan on expanding past Classic. There is such an overwhelming amount of Warcraft lore that I've kind of just focused on Classic for now. But don't you worry, videos in a similar vein to the Orc Clan video are on the horizon.
I actually do read my quests, and leveling in kalimdor would have to be one of my favourite and diverse leveling experiences in video games ever. So much layered lore, and quests grand and small.
The truth is Norzdormu actually only gave the night elves immortality because he knew that in the future they would need a man who was as much of a badass as Malfurion was and he wasn't certain the night elves would get that lucky twice so he needed to keep Malfurion alive long enough to do all the awesome things he needed to.
But what if its about some epic sentient rats that secretly try to spread the curse of undeath because they worship the rat lichking that rules over the secret continent of southrend?
Platinum you should make a video on why Malfurion is such an asshole. LIke. Disowned his brother and had him imprisoned for - Saving Felwood (Oh but he used fel magic >:CCCC I disown you!!!) - Giving the Night Elves immortality (We dont need another well of eternity!!!!! Imprisoned for life!!) - Marrying the girl Illidan had a crush on - Illidan saved the universe while Malfurion was asleep and he still found a way to be mad at him. Malfurion is an asshole
And don’t forget the fact that when Tyrande was left to die by Maiev, Illidan, despite taking heavy losses by Maiev and Malfurion’s troops and Kael’thas’ elves, he still mustered enough forces to lead an assault on Scourge settlements to save her, and all he got was a “hmph, I still don’t trust you, but you can go for now.”
While Illidan is no slouch when it comes in being an asshole either (Siding with the Highborne to gain access to The Well's magic, Holding Akama's soul hostage as leverage, Opening a portal to Argus so that the forces of Azeroth would stop fucking around and get done with it, Killing a prime Naaru in cold blood (and to be fair, that thing had it coming for having no concept of consent)) , finally someone said it. At least Illidan admits he's done wrong on his path to defeat The Legion as he does not ask for forgiveness from neither Tyrande nor his brother in his farewell message. But to give Malfurion a little credit, he's less harsh on his final response than Tyrande was.
Hey, if you want more Kalimdor zone lore check out these videos! Feralas/Diremaul: th-cam.com/video/aqz3cIUHr2c/w-d-xo.html Desolace (+more): th-cam.com/video/mgobTcCwmd8/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching. If you want another episode let me know :)
11:40 maybe that's why Nozdormu didn't bless it in the first place "Yeah this shit gonna burn in a couple years why bother." " shouldn't we warn them?! " "Naaah, that'll take too long- I mean that'll lead to a bad timeline. Yeah bad timeline, we have more important things to do like create nonsense retcon timeloop things"
As far as i remember when the satyrs took Tyrande the book described him as mad not sad and he lost control of his powers and caused a big storm/vortex that pretty much surprised Archimonde and Mannoroth because they were getting sucked with the low level demons too.But that was from War of the Ancients part Three.Stormrage might have retconned that part.
It did not.. You are part right.. He was 'mad with grief'.. He just gave up (since at this point, his brother wouldnt help him and his childhood friend was gone) and let his emotions overtake him. I dont remember if Archimonde or Mannoroth were surprised at the storms power since Archimonde had an idea of how powerful Malfurion was at that point.
"And Alexstrasza and Ysera showed up to blessed the tree, so nothing evil would ever happen to it ever again" Dude you just fkn killed me right there xD
When i just want to be entertained i put on a bunch of Platinum Vids. Branch out to other games or movies. Basically everyone would benefit from having more Platinum in our lives
Funny thing about the herbs Staghelm was using:we players were helping him doing that, there was a repeatable quest to gain Darnassus rep where we were to gather those herbs and either deliver them to him or to another druid in Feralas. So those that were delivering to Staghelm, congratulations, you were aiding a traitor :D
WITH BLACKJACK! AND HOOKERS! 😂😂😂😂 My friends and i say that all the time, futurama is one of my all time favorites. Bender is great! Bennnnder is great! Great content thanks for the effort
I always read quest text, ever since I was little. I’ve learned more about the English language in WoW than I probably have across all of my English classes.
Okay okay okay but can we talk about Fandral for a sec Fandral genuinely though what he was doing was best for the night elves. I really he was a grieving father his deceased son, Valstann. Fandral’s mate died giving birth to him and so Valstann was literally everything that Fandral had, and Fandral loved Valstann. And when Xavius came to Fandral in the body of Valstann. Fandral, of course, was overjoyed. Xavius, in Valstann’s body, started to manipulate and corrupt Fandral, playing on Fandral’s guilt and rage of not being able to save his son, driving Fandral into a madness, doing anything Xavius, who he thought was Valstann, wanted him to in hopes it would fully extort his son to life. This included grafting a corrupted branch from Xavius into the world tree. Eventually, after Malfurion woke up and defeated Xavius, Fandral was left to endure the loss of his son for a second time. This left him as nothing but a broken husk, and the Night Elves locked Fandral away in Illidan’s old prison in hopes that he’d one day recover, because locking someone in a cell is definitely going to help then with the grieving process. Fandral wasn’t a villain, he was a victim, a pawn with a sad as fuck backstory and people don’t appreciate him enough
He turned himself into a tree, funniest shit I ever seen.

Yeah that "DEMONIC" by what sounded like an older Swedish female voice cracked me up.
That ending... Damn, that was THE ending
For those that didn't know... yes, Teldrassil was like 10 years old. They built the whole city and all that stuff in like 3 years.
ez

This is the best Warcraft Lore channel!
I just imagine the pandaren being like that episode of its always sunny "aww did someone get addicted to arcane?"
Alexstrasza and Ysera: "Alright, guess we'll bless a second tree. Why not."
Nozdormu: "I S L E E P ."
As far as i remember when the satyrs took Tyrande the book described him as mad not sad and he lost control of his powers and caused a big storm/vortex that pretty much surprised Archimonde and Mannoroth because they were getting sucked with the low level demons too.But that was from War of the Ancients part Three.Stormrage might have retconned that part.

Anything but the big tree
For this quality of story telling an Lore explanation, Ill watch whatever ad pops up 🙌 🙌

that pause after they are both shit legendary
I have known about the whole tree xavius plot and it still sounds as crazy as when I first heard.
Ysera and Alexstrasza: **Blesses the tree**
Sylvanas: "I'm about to end these peoples whole careers"
Excited for part 2!
I mostly read the texts that are related to interesting zones/characters. For example the drustvar lore was badass
I love how wacky wow lore can get. “so I turned him into a tree and threw him into the ocean!”
11:45
Awesome vid.
Looking forward for part 2 :)

The arrow to the knee. That was the high point for me.
Nozdormu knew the fate of the tree and he was like "not gonna waste mah blessin on this shit, fool"
"nothing evil would ever happen to it again" correct!
Fucking great, mate! *sits and waits patiently for part II*
this is Golden! keep it up man :)
