i love the lotro music 🙂
Just found this, keep doing what you're doing man
I found gold!
Great video! I never played WOW but you did such a great job on this documentary, I found it intriguing.
I love the concept for this series!
I absolutely love this kind of semi-scientific exploration of game world and world building. I'm looking forward to your future work, great stuff!
Amazing stuff! Even more reasons to love the old zones. I once made a tier list with all wow zones, and placed most classic zones high up there.
I am falling in love with this channel
Your videos should be more popular
This guy know badlands was a swamp that got blasted by fel?
Really cool take on wow content. It's great.
Awesome content man, keep it up
Love this content. I love the world of Azeroth so much and any chance to explore just brings joy
Classic Badlands is one of my favorite zones. I have so many memories of grinding those earth elementals for EXP and all those magic rocks they drop for silver and gold
Loving all your videos!
Helped me pass the time at work. Keep up the amazing work.
The few people that grind Bloodsail rep to exalted get a real feel for it. The place becomes seared into the mind.
I am always perplexed by the absurd numbers of apex predators like wolves and lions, dragons even, in wow zones compared to big prey and other critters. Not to mention the scavangers, what do they even eat? Adventurers???
From Wowpedia:
Ages ago, the Badlands were a verdant valley, lush with natural resources. Three hundred years ago Ragnaros' arrival blasted this region, scorched the land, and transformed it into what it is today — a desolate, barren wasteland. The area is inhospitable, and was rarely visited until recently
Many hours I spent in them Badlands, mining and farming whelps.
I love fantasy science plus the nostalgia of this game. Good stuff.
Nice
really appreciate your world analysis
Whoa. What a great video! So immersive. I'm now more versatile on a fictional world I don't visit anymore and I loved every minute.
This has become my new headcanon, amazing work!
now at 11k subs! 😀 loving this kind of wow content
My favourite series . i actually rewatch this videos lmao
Ever find the hidden Conan tomb? Head away from the dwarf fortress entrance, and you'll be looking for a hillside to the south east. Climp slopes until you are facing back towards the fort entrance and voila it's right there. Best easter egg spot in the game.
while not related to geology itself , the dwarf you meet here was an apprentice of feranor steeltoe , the dwarf who made a fiery enchantment for arthas out of searionx's heart , and ofcourse this dwarf apprentice sends you to collect drake hearts to make an enchantment that adds fire damage to your weapon , it pays off to read quest text
I just found this. You have 12k+ now! Well deserved love the videos. Thanks for the big thots
I am a relatively new subscriber to your channel and this is already over a year old, but man am I excited to see an entire series focused on geology in WoW! I am majoring in Geology in college, and also a long time fan of WoW, so this really is the perfect series for me hahaha. Excellent work and I can't wait to watch the rest of the series!
What about those ruins that have some pillars and an old road that can be found very close to kargath. It is full of earth elementals as well. I am surprised you did not mention those. Great video though and I really enjoyed it!
