World of Warcraft: Forever is the perfect time for new players to jump into the story of Warcraft. The developers have said they're in their own parallel "time bubble" that respects the foundational lore of the setting - but what is that lore? What was the story like back in 2004? That's what we unpack in this video.

I’m glad that EVERYONE AGREES that I’m saying Tyrande EXACTLY CORRECT

Every time I hear about the Eredar lore im reminded how BC retconned the Draenei lore to give us holy space goats

26:54 - I was supposed to say campaign here but it’s been pointed out to me that I worded it ambiguously, and that’s on me. To be clear: Orgrim Doomhammer dies in the campaign on the way to Blackmoore, at an internment camp. See the original passage from the website:

“To symbolize his people's rebirth, Thrall returned to Blackmoore's fortress of Durnholde and put a decisive end to his former master's plans by laying siege to the internment camps. This victory was not without its price: during the liberation of one camp, Doomhammer fell in battle.”

The original lore is truely wild. A credit to those original creators. And this video is A+
I hope this gets the best of success. Could we get some history of notable classes perhaps?

As a pvp player, the lore for forever is going to be a battleground in every contested area! It's going to be war everywhere with one big massive world in the pvp server!

34:52 one of the few things I remenber seeing my older bro playing warcraft III was Illidan and Arthas duel.

Nice Video dude, really like it

You glossed over one of the most important parts of the story, the Urn that Arthas put Kel Thuzads remains into before he resurrected him at the sunwell. The urn was what his father’s ashes were contained in, and he dumped his ashes out to put Kel Thuzads remains in it. This is a very important detail because in order to get the urn, Arthas had to kill Uther

Edit: Also the Urn of King Terenas was required to resurrect Kel Thuzad, without it the resurrection would not have been possible
