I'll forever love the Tauren

It's a part of pfUI

So by name, I think "Curse of Flesh" wasn't introduced until early Wrath. HOWEVER the whole matrix instability discussion and how earthen were essentially devolved into flesh-like creatures comes directly from the end of Uldaman in late 2004 and I believe gives the Curse of Flesh a solid foundational start.

Right, it was Baron Longshore's first mate

In regards to Micky Neilson, I can't find what you're references, you need to provide specific links to support that. I will say, I respect a lot of what Micky Neilson did or tried to do with World of Warcraft, and understand he went through some serious struggles trying to get things done correctly, so I'll respect what he has to say. In regards to Nethaera, she's a community manager and forum moderator. While I don't discount the hard work she put in to her job with Blizzard, she isn't a legitimate accurate source of Lore information. In addition, she didn't join Blizzard until 2006, and I would assume never privy to any of the writing done between 2001 and 2004. In regards to Exploring Azeroth: Kalimdor, that was published in 2022, and as I've said on this channel previously, not only do I discredit most of the books in their entirety, but this channel is focused strictly on older, more well cemented lore, not later writings that have seen multiple layers of retcons and contradictions. With that in mind, I feel solid in my findings that in 2004-2005 lore, the first druids were Tauren. Based on what you provide from Micky Neilson I will reconsider that position, but in regards to the rest of what you presented, I find they don't change my thoughts.

The biggest insult was killing Cairne off-stage, without any kind of respect or decency he deserved.

With the hero selected, you right click on a lords army that isn't full, and then select the hero action you want to take.

@@TheDanNation many thanks.

I genuinely hope this is satirical, because to suggest "For the King!" is too heady for most WoW players is a bit ridiculous. I don't think at any point during your superiority-complex-ridden post did you stop to think how basic the "concepts" you are talking about are. Chivalry, feudalism, etc. are all things taught to *children* in grade school and early high school. Please, get over yourself. P.S. - No, western audiences are now and were then quite aware of terms like samurai, ninja, bushido, etc. The Jedi were *partially* influenced by eastern religion and philosophy, as far as the mystical side of the Force went. They were not copies of any and were not influenced by only them, but also by medieval knights of western culture as well. And, when it comes down to it, 'Jedi Knight' rolls off the tongue a lot better than 'Jedi Bushido' or 'Jedi Samurai' or 'Jedi Ronin'.

⁠ No, I was not writing a satire, there is nothing even remotely satirical in what I have written explaining the undercurrents of the issue and why it is such a human failure of cultural decency and a byproduct of modern degeneracy. As I have already said the average American knows almost nothing about feudal Europe and then goes and watches some atheistic pornographic degenerate fantasy nonsense like Game of Thrones and thinks that must have been what it was like. America is a corrupt society with a foundational culture of seeing itself as superior to its European predecessors. And for the record I own more than thirty books about the Middle Ages from the time of Charlemagne through the era of the crusades and the High Middle Ages. After American society industrialised they started worshipping consumerism by promoting the family above god instead of god above all, and started heretical protestant practises of using god to promote the father in a family as the highest authority within a community instead of the church. The bible states clearly it is best for both man and woman to be either chaste or celibate and wholly devoted to god’s purpose, but if you cannot overcome your base nature then you must be married, anything else is adultery and a sin. The holy official is above the married man or woman in a proper society. This correct version of the biblical scripture essentially would destroy consumerism and the corrupt hierarchy of American society from its foundation, and so Blizzard dared not actually give the public something real and actually holy. Morality as it is known comes from god and Christ’s church, even the corrupted degenerate atheist subjective morality taking over society today is derived originally from Christianity. You atheists love to pander to eastern religions and philosophies from a distorted lense that was originally derived from Christian morality, if you actually had to live in one of these pagan societies you so love you would be horrified, and likely enslaved, and possibly used as a human sacrifice. In fact your promotion of degeneracy is eventually going to lead to civilisation collapse. The Warcraft 2 Paladin was objectively the best Paladin Blizzard ever put into a video game, and they even had crosses on their breastplates, and the icon for using their ‘Holy Vision’ power was the double headed eagle crest of The Holy Roman Empire, derived from Charlemagne’s heraldry itself. Lastly, the Jedi have nothing in common with feudal knights and Europe. George Lucas is a self loathing liberal atheist who made the Europeans the bad guys and every other culture the good and ‘enlightened’ peoples. The Jedi ARE based on eastern religions and philosophies such a deism (duality, light side/dark side, good and evil creator deities), and Buddhism (the suppression of emotions and desires=what the Jedi never shut up about).

There is a subtle difference, Void utilizes Shadow. Is there any real meaning or importance to that difference? Eh, not really, but I think that's more a fault of how edgelordy the Void has been written about.

Void is like shadow on meth.

Draenei and goblins got a lot of development at certain points. Dwarves are in a so much worst spot with gnomes, being always put at the second class humans in every story.

Oh how this comment aged badly. DoK changed the artstyle, but kept it faithful. HW3 has done the series dirty

Yeah, it's alive on Turtle at least, and most likely will be on EPOCH I think?

So, I do get where you're going with this. HOWEVER, if you go back to my video on the Light and how it functions, even back during Vanilla it's my opinion that the Light was never a force of Good. I'd encourage you to review that video if you have time, as I think it helps people realize more of the initial idea of what the Light is going into the initial vision of World of Warcraft.

Fair reference here, as far as I'm aware though, Cataclysm isn't considered canon by BBI. I could very easily be wrong on this!

Was mentioned in the VR game so i think its canon

She had a word with the Taiidan manager

It's too late, you've angered the gazebo!

It's been that way since the original Total Warhammer, you're not wrong.

It's a different company making it, this is Blackbird Interactive. There's gonna be changes.

@@TheDanNation some changes are fine and welcome but throwing away such an iconic art style is a step too far.

Dang, aggressive much

Unfortunately, Campbell Lane died in 2014, which is a massive shame as he had such a lovely voice

I'm gonna be honest, I disagree with a lot of what you're saying here. It feels like you're approaching this from a very retail perspective. There's a massive difference between being smart, and being intelligent. Also, you're entirely discounting people with natural affinities for these sorts of things, there's savants born in this day and age who are practically walking calculators. Ogre magi are an artificial construct still during the time of Warcraft 2, 3, and World of Warcraft Vanilla. They only exist because Guldan imprinted runic magics into select ogres, making ogre magi. Their intelligence doesn't even enter into it until you look at much later generations of ogre magi, which as we see IN WoW Vanilla, use a lot of very basic spells such as fireball, and non arcane magics like bloodlust. As for Azshara, A. Not a mortal, she's maintained her immortality. B. Easily supercedes having to go through the motions of any arcane magics. She isn't learning, she's literally written the book on some forms of arcane energy uses, so saying she fundamentally breaks anything I've postulated here is ignorant of you to say the least. Same with Medivh, Aegwynn, and the general thread of the Guardians of Tiristfal. Yes they have IMMENSE arcane power handed down from person to person, but it took the most powerful of the Kirin Tor to set up this chain of events in the first place, construct the spells, and imbue them into the Guardian, along with performing the rituals to hand them down. You bring up these examples, but it's clear these examples don't break the rules, they absolutely follow the baseline concept that Arcane magics are build on a basis of mathematics that, even to the layperson could be taught and built upon. You don't need to be born into magic to be able to use it, although it can clearly help as I mentioned earlier. You're welcome to disagree but you're nonsensical posturing and language is very transparent and hollow in this regard.

@@TheDanNation Because quite frankly, there isn't much regarding magic in the original Warcraft games (or early WoW for that matter). Their world building is surface level at best. What they do explain is great and all, but not enough. These games were mostly about gameplay, where the story began to take wings. There is almost no difference between smartness and intelligence, but thats kind of irrelevant to what my point is. Azshara is a mortal, night elves became immortal because of the world tree, otherwise they are just extremely long-lived. Malfurion confirms this in Warcraft 3 as well. I also meant mortal in the sense that she isn't a supernatural being. But again, irrelevant to my argument. If Arcane really is math, that means you have to be at least a little intelligent to even use it. Similar to math, if you don't practice and learn, you won't get better at magic. Yet Azshara is simply born to be the most powerful wizard on Azeroth, nobody comes close to her. That is an irrefutable inconsistency with your theory. You really just have to swap out magic with actual math, and the idea no longer makes sense. I also think that your views are kind of headcanon-y at this point, as there is no clear order. You said you won't be taking the books and comics into the picture, yet you do with Chronicles. You also said the sources you will use for this series are from the Warcraft games up until WotLK, yet there are clearly some exceptions there too. It seems to be less and less concrete, and more like picking out some parts that you favor, and discard the ones you don't. If you try to explain things factually, you should remain factual and concrete for the rest of the series.

@@user-ho5jt4hj5h First off, I specify constraints and context for each video right after my intros, and if you can't handle a little granularity in that then you have bigger problems than just the inability to form an argument. Second off, if you feel there wasn't world building or development during the RTS games or Vanilla WoW, I invite you to return to the in your face, over the top, bullshit filled retail experience, the exit is on your left and please let the door hit you on the way out.

@@TheDanNation Thats just you exaggerating on what I said Dan, come on! If anyone, you should know that there wasn't enough writing done in the Warcraft games, they often retconned things too. What little was, still didn't stop them from committing large mistakes in map making later on either. You shouldn't mindlessly praise the older Warcraft lore, like if its just simply better in every way imaginable than retail. It was more solid thematically, but this franchise has problems dating back to the very beginning.

That's fair

Strong agree on all fronts!
