  1. Would be cool if you made a retcon video(s) from the lore established in WCIII and before to WOW (like the miracle of the dark portal that was destroyed in WCII and opened in BC somehow, considering that Kaelthas went to Draenor via Dalaran). Or the high elven druidism.

    Great video subbed.

  2. You do a great job telling these stories as if they actually happened in real life, with theories, historical sites, historical objects, legends and geography. Love it!

  3. Watching your videos makes me very nostalgic and makes me want to play Vanilla wow again. But I know it would NOT be the same. I also no longer agree with Activision/Blizzard, so I can't morally give them more money. But I will always have a Love for the game "World of Warcraft".
    I played this game since its 2nd year, close to the release of the TBC up to DragonFlight, up to the Bronze Dragonflight patch….but I can't. No more Retail wow.
    But I often want to play the old game up to before Cataclism.

  4. Yeah I was reading through the wiki this week looking at how the Dwarves came to be, and how at the end of the War of the 3 Hammers Ragnaros was summoned by the Dark Irons which caused Redridge Mountains to become the Searing Gorge & the Burning Steppes.

    Just like Ragnaros, Neptulon was imprisioned by the titans following their war against the Black Empire, and while we don't know how or when Neptulon was freed again, with how closely tied the Gurubashi are to water through the Tidestone, maybe they had some hand in the ritual to free him.

    I think it'd make a lot of sense that in the Sundering the Gurubashi delved into their forbidden lore, seeking to summon Neptulon to protect them from the Sundering, in return for his freedom he'd grant them a piece of his powers through the Tidestone so long as they didn't misuse it or something, when they did misuse it he punished them, but he still kept to the deal, sending them the Tidestone every so often.

  5. I've been playing WOW for over 15 years, been following tens of channels dedicated to WOWs lore and gameplay. It's amazing how there are still things that I don't know about, I guess that's what makes wow so captivating.
