You want lore?

Taelnayael · 07-16-2004, 08:44 AM

Hows this for a pretty damn cool overview of what goes into the WoW universe and why you do what you do in the game?

Now if they just stick to it.

lol, it's funny only one tiny bit of the lore came from the original warcraft.

Just another reason, Alliance sucks.

Actually the Naga blew up the world.

And, of course, the Orcs blew their own world up (Ner'zhul), and got owned hardcore in War2 and War2x

So, I'd say we're at a 1:1 ratio win:lose.

EQ meets Lord of the Rings

Actually thats some good stuff, let's hope they utilize it.

Most of the quests seem to have some lore element. Some lead you on a path to discover more (the uldaman discs) and such. Heck i saw the dark Portal a week or so ago hehehe.

One of the higher level dungeons makes great use of this lore. I don't want to post any spoilers, but I post some screens if interested.

CnCGOD · 07-16-2004, 01:30 PM

To be honest id say most people here arent spoiler adverse :0

They could have a million websites full of lore, but it wouldn't matter. Most people won't read it or care.

They need a way to get players to Want to experience the lore while playing the game. If they can do that, then lore will count.

At least it explains that evil demonic power is what makes the lands the Orcs live in so orange 'n stuff. I thought the Orcs just liked fugly deserts.

Ah, Mulgore and Tirisfal so pretty. Green > orange.

Just play the campaigns on warcraft 3 and warcraft 2 and you won't have to read half of that and you'll be having fun ^_^
