It feels like I am watching a documentary and I absolutely love it.
Haha, I'm so glad! :D
Howling Fjord is definitely one of my favorite places, great video!! 🐻❄️❄️🧊🌊
Thank you very much! :)
And now I know how fjords work! Thanks! Would love to see one on the formation of Un'goro (Ngorongoro) Crater.
Un'Goro would make for a great episode! :D
Using each video/zone to talk about specific features/concepts is a good approach.
Thank you! :)
Fabulous topic, great series!!!!
Thank you! :D
I always loved the music in Howling Fjord.
Some of the best music tracks in the game :)
Videos like these keep me interested in WoW 👏
I'm glad to hear it. :)
Hi Jedi!
It makes sense the Vrykul built their empire after the glaciers receded. Geology often takes millions of years to resolve. Warcraft history -- even if it's a little longer than our own -- is still a blink of an eye compared to the history of the Universe as a whole.
Thanks for the thoughts! :) I definitely agree.
Absolutely amazing work as always!
Thank you so much! :)
This is awsome. Come check out the fjords here in Norway, Jedi. Its cool. And again: keep ut the great videos. Its soo good.
I'd love to someday! :D Thank you!
thanks for the geography lesson!!
You are very welcome! :)
Hell yeah, WoW Rocks!! Now I want to go explore around the Howling Fjord again and imagine the glaciers slowly creeping their way across the land over hundreds or even thousands of years
Yes, knowing the history really helps with the immersion of the game! I've done similar things myself when researching and filming these vids ;)
Just stumbled across this series and I love it! Excellent work and I hope to see more!
Thanks so much! More on the way ;)
How cool! Howling fjord is one of my favorite zones in the whole game
Mine too! One of the greats :)
Didnt Illidan try to melt the icecaps on Icecrown during warcraft 3? So maybe that resulted in faster melting of the glaciers in areas such as Howling Fjord and the resulting tremors of the spell could have help expand the crack with the insane dwarfs in it?
That's a great thought! I forgot about that part in WC3 but I definitely think that could contribute to those landforms. :)
**JOY**
:D
I sometimes wonder how many, if any, of the developers are also geography nuts, like us. None of the gameplay guys that were interviewed before wow classic seemed to fit into that mold so that leaves me to wonder... was it someone on the lore team? A hold over from something Chris Metzen come up with and the art team fleshed out?
It would be an interesting question to ask at Blizzcon.
Yes! It is an interesting thought. :) ...I think they must have consulted with some real geologists or at least looked at some very detailed real-life photos for reference!
Can you do a WoW Rocks! on Booty Bay? If you look at it from the top looks like it's a Caldera or perhaps a crater from an asteroid but this is never touched on in the game as far as I am aware.
Maybe a topic for a future mini episode! ;) Thank you!
The one thing about fantasy worlds that they can use when ppl say " this dont make sense in normal scientific terms" is the impact of magic
This is true! I usually try to avoid that in most of my geology videos but there are a couple of instances/zones where I think "yeahhhhh, there's crazy demon or elf magic going on here" XD
I'm so early I can't wait, I love this content
I'm glad you're enjoying it! :D
@@Jediwarlock this is the exact kind of content I love. It's a lot of in-depth history and geologic/geographic observation that I'm shocked the devs got these details in. It's kind of why I love wow, all the little details.
Canada represent!
Yes! :)
