1:03 I thought they were around since the titans found Azeroth
I love this safaris and overviews. Reminds me of way back when.
Thank you for making me laugh, I am.feeling so sick at the moment! 🤢
Now that Safari Explorations are back, are we getting Eastern Kingdoms Safari Part 2?! 😅
@@scottishv1nce709 - Maybe that's what he meant by "found-ation"? ;) They've been around since the "ordering" of Azeroth, though.
The Arthas dance whilst abandoning his men ... 10/10
Therapist: "Dancing Arthas isn't real, he can serve you."
Dancing Arthas:
@@bipolarbear69 He can't hurt you
@@Holy-Rowlo88 yesn't
That was seriously the best part lmao I had to replay it like five times
@@jfarmer808 same with the medivh-dance + music in one of the other videos. this guy is just so good xD
That South Park recreation was brilliant! I love how you even used the correct models from the Make Love Not Warcraft episode.
That was hilarious, please 🙏🏼 Platinum do some more 😂
There were even accurate characters that the South parks kids played. I loved it
Wish there was more machinima of those characters playing out scenes from south park
Loved it!
Would be interesting to see the parts of the episode MLNW done in wow engine
I feel EXTREMELLY lucky that the wow community has a content creator like you
Exactly. Feels like he's the only one doing this type of content. Who would've thought you could keep making WoW content and keep it fresh for so long.
Same
@@Diavolo222 Nobbel87 will start making Final Fantasy 14 lore videos any moment now. Which frustrates me.
Couldn’t have said it better
Was thinking the same thing
Arthas “abandoning” his men at 12:07 is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
16:33 the "FLYING. DEATH. FORTRESS." just really gets me everytime, I love it
It was in the same little area of King Mrgl-Mrgl that I found perhaps the most dedicated role-player in my WoW career (which is from vanilla to present day on and off). I was engaged in some world pvp with a hordie and suddenly he gets dropped by a murloc. Then, I realize it's a human deathknight dressed as a murloc. He was just hanging out there, not moving at all, then attacked the horde guy. I asked him how long he had been there, and he said "I'm a murloc. I've been here all my life." I came back a few days later to check...and the guy was still just standing there pretending to be a murloc.
Was this on Moon Guard by chance? Was the player named Mcdohl?
Those kind of people really make the game experience next level
where is that i wana see him
@@vhexigloss2994 Nope, it was on Sargeras. Just a straight up pvp server with some dude living as a murloc.
@@creepcracker This happened during WotLK, so dedicated as he was, I seriously doubt he's still just hanging out there.
Fun fact: Arthas's men weren't eager to leave (since by that time Arthas was still super popular and a lot of men didn't actually take part in Stratholme, Arthas picked them up before the news of what happened reached them and cheesed to Northrend immediately) but didn't want to disobey direct order from the king. Arthas in return burned the ships in secret and betrayed and killed the mercenaries he hired to do so, which could be taken as his first truly evil act (since Stratholme could be taken as necessary at the time)
P.S. And he actually didn't leave his men to die later on, he butchered them all personally, with Thassarian being the first to die (he actually tried to look for Arthas since the men were worried and sadly found him and was the first human victim of Frostmourne)
Thank you, where was Thassarian when Illidan tried to destroy the Frozen Throne?
Did Thassarian and Kael'thas ever meet during the battle?
No it wasn't neccesary, i hate it when people justify a reckless murder spree, Arthas could have done things differently without cruelly killing his own people who looked up to him.
@@saltyrainbowpike820 - Not that I want to paint Arthas as righteous or anything, but what would you suggest he had done?
@@saltyrainbowpike820 I personally wouldn't do it myself, but for Stratholme i understand. Plague was already there and not only would they die , but they would rise and spread the plague even more. Its a cruel way to go for people, but there was no other way to slow down the plague. Btw lets make this interesting. What would you do? What would be your answer to slowing the plague?
@@quchi7232 - There seems to be a g ap in his story from Arthas' as sault on Quel'thalas and all the way up to the DK intro zone, so I guess he was stationed in the Plaguelands the entire time.
On the "useless" zeppelin, there is a daily quest to bomb the pirate ships you fly over. But its Alliance only, you know seeing as it deploys from an alliance base
He knows.
@@deathminder9206 Now we all know.
It's ok it's wow. No one has played alliance on their main character since WoD
@@michaelgjrjvebs Damn that's literally me lmao
@@michaelgjrjvebs I resent that statement. Or is it represent? I always confuse the two.
First time hearing of that restaurant. Gotta visit that! It looks so awesome! You think that if the murlocs become playable, King Mrgl-Mrgl would definitely be the faction leader.
I gotta say, that was the right spot to end this video. the only way to follow King Mrgl-Mrgl is from a safe distance.
Yeah it's pretty cool, go through this underwater cave to get to it in nazjatar, very exclusive only the best of the best of adventurers can get to it.
He gives some Alliance dailies depending on the companion you pick.
I wanna be a murloc warlock so bad
He even gives dailies. Pretty cozy place to visit on that grind
One thing about Platinum WoW videos that I'm just so glad has stayed has to be the delivery of....
FLYING
DEATH
FORTRESS.
Never gets old it cracks me up every single time
Absolutely adored this expansion, it had so much character and atmosphere.
"No one orders me around! I will be twice the king my father was! And three times the dancer!" totally killed me and made my day :D
I came here for the lore, but Arthas' sick ass dance moves were the icing on the cake.
More Public transportation in WOW! Cablecars and gondolas would be amazing!
The Arthas Dance as he abandoned his squad had me in stitches. I laughed out loud
I love the fact that Arthas (The Lich King) toys with you through the entire expansion - He goes so far as too recruit others who could be a danger to you and sicks them on you for the only reason of "testing" you
Also, love the south park reference ^^
Glad to see the Jailer making his impact early so we all love him when he finally appears.
truely the smartest, most perfectly designed villains, in warcraft lore
Jesus Christ, instant chills at 0:42
God I love Howling Fjord
Every zone ambient sounds and music still manage to give me chills. I haven't played since 5 years if not more. They are masterfully crafted.
The music of Howling and Grizzly makes me cry hard.
Dude its crazy. There was this certain candle my mom bought for the house in 2008 the first time I played wotlk, and everytime I catch a whiff of that smell it unlocks some nostalgia.
When Arthas hit that MJ dance i pretty much lost it. Great work as always platinum!
11:30
I never thought I will ever see Arthas dancing to Thriller, but here we are.
I have seen everything now
6:14
"We have a rare case of the alliance being the bad guys"
Platinum's Alliance bias is starting to show
Haha yeah the image of alliance using Padaren children for slave work immediately came to mind
There's an Alliance quest where you test a possible plague cure on a Vrykul prisoner, too. It doesn't end well for the Vrykul.
Tbh the whole video is alliance biased. Still love platinum videos
I violently laughed as Arthus "Thriller" shimmied away( at 12:05 )! xD These are always so good!
Yo man, I rarely comment on youtube. But had some rough weeks and binged most of your vids even tho I haven't played WoW in 8 years. Wish there were more youtubers of you caliber. S-tier content.
That voice acting is simply brilliant! Shame on you Blizz for not utilising her, SHAME ON YOU!
The San'Layn were some of Kael'thas greatest followers that fell when Illidans forces fought Arthas in Northrend, so Valanar and Kael'thas are actually connected and the "Naxxanar was merely a setback!" line is probably a reference to that.
6:30 - the zeppelin is part of a daily quest where u have to bomb pirates from it around the shore.
Yesssss! As much as I love the lore stories, I really missed this series too! Just being able to learn about the zones lore in this overview setting is really interesting imo, and I’m glad it’s back
I was literally rewatching the first Safari series thinking "I wonder if he'll make more of these with the other expansions" this is insane haha
I gotta say Platinum, I love watching your WoW content. I stopped playing WoW a little while ago due to just the sheer amount of time and money you need to pour into the game, but I still love hearing about the lore and stories. You do such a good job at retelling them, with a side of hilarious humour. Keep up the good work, love your content
As someone who drives 2+ hours a day and spends countless hours sanding/painting 3D prints: thank you for this awesome content. This is one of my favorite channels.
4:02 using the exact models from the show was an incredible detail
11:24 and 11:59 I could watch those dance moves for hours, just amazing.
Ah, a man after my own heart, appreciating the glory of murlocs. Also loved Arthas' dancing. LMAO
I remember fondly the turtle submarines from WC2, but every time I rode the turtle boats in Northrend I couldn’t help but wonder how they kept them from submerging.
Gawd I love the vrykul. I still hoping for the day they become a allied race or neutral like how the pandarens are.
They are a little too tall to fit into most buildings
@@NameName2.0 not if they put them at the height of Kultirans. I used a Kultiran and a growth potion and I was about the same height as a vrykul but still able to fit through doors. Also some of the horde buildings have huge door ways. Preferably the orcs
Really should have been added instead of kul'tirans. Maybe someday they'll be added and I'm going to main the shit out of Vrykul.
4:39 - Back in the Wrath Beta there was a leveling exploit with this boat. Someone figured out that you could afk and still receive a ton of kill XP for the elemental encounter.
Every inch of the ship was covered in players until they patched it about a week later.
I never quested in Howling Fjord since the starting quest that takes me to Northrend would always tell me to go to Borean Tundra and not Howling Fjord, so it's a bit odd to hear you say that Howling Fjord is where everyone first starts in Northrend, not me apparently.
I started in Borean too but I knew you could start in the Fjord. Honestly, I'm hoping this go around most people start in HF and leave me to level in peace in BT. I think its possibly because most people hung out in IF back in the day. Since I was in SW I was able to just hop in the boat to BT.
Took me years to even realize that you could start in the Fjord.
I never even went there for some reason, so exploring it felt amazing
That shocka bra south park section....gold
arthas doing the thriller away after the wards "arthas abandoned his men" had me in tears
i love how there is a portal in sholazar basin that takes you to un'goro crater, i hope he talks about that next time.
Omg the Arthas dancing away had me rolling, Platinum only WoW creator will never unsub from he's too funny great way to finish the night
This is forever one of my favorite UA-cam series and was wondering where it had gone for so long. Thank you for these. Even though I know most WoW lore hearing it from you is always a fun time.
The part with Arthas dancing was hilarious...in a good way!
I was hoping for a bit on the Wrathgate quest line in Dragonblight and the whole ‘invasion of Undercity’ quest line.
It makes sense they changed the location of Arthas' Landing, in Warcraft 3 these new areas weren't very well thought out yet. All of Outland was originally red like Hellfire Peninsula and all of Northrend was icy like Dragonblight. When it came time to actually explore these areas in World of Warcraft they needed to give them a little more variety to keep it interesting and BAM all these new biomes and different locations where added.
OMG this is perfect and amazing. Watching this whole series on stream! Thank you so much. Cheers
Borean Tundra and valiance keep was the freaking coolest place to enter northrend. It started with the first 2 or so quests like it was going to be a repeat of hellfire but then this cult conspiracy quest started and there was a crashed ziggurat and mechagnomes out of nowhere in the sulfur flats and blue dragons attacking everything! It was awesome and I have a fond place in my heart for it
Long have I awaited some good northrend videos! Thank you as always Platinum! You the best!
Even tho i dont play WoW and dont plan on ever coming back, I always enjoy your videos and all the hard work you put into them! Thank You for the entertainment.
Everytime I watch one of your videos. I sit and hope you’re making enough money off UA-cam to keep making these videos. They are truly the best wow videos on the planet.
I feel so happy to find this channel, i recently comeback to wow after LK exp and having this quality content just makes my day and experience even better!
Love these videos. I usually only care about numbers in WOW but your videos, lore and zone design make me fall in love with this game in a completely different way.
SUBSCRIBE TO THIS MAN.
this video was a masterpiece! I am currently in a bit of an emotional rut and it really made me laugh, thank you :D
I just found your channel and I'm glad I did. The quality of your videos is amazing!
20:22 i actually started reading them some time ago and it was a great decision.
It made the game better knowing little details about the world instead of just the main plot.
But It also helps with the main plot when doing the story quests :)
I just got Loremaster from NT, some quests I needed to do at IC. OMG I can't wait to part 2. That tauren at TP with power of the bronze dragons is amazing, his history of being an adventurer because he wanted to see more and now he's a witness of the true timeline... The part of the hammer of Thorim is also so cool. And you make it 10 times better. Plat, you really love wow and you are part of wht this game is what it is. Thank you for your hardwork. Every video is better. It's amazing how can you be fun/educational and more. You could even be an amazing teacher, I'm sure of that. Glad to have people like you playing this game.
Absolutely loved that South Park skit, so glad you put that in!
PLATINUM WOW DOES IT AGAIN!!
thank you so much for uploading today, im tired af and this made my day :3
14:18 FLYING. DEATH. FORTRESS.
It will never get old.
The music of the Howling Fjord gived me chills and nostalgia every time❤️ Love the norse mythology and theme as well❤️
Dude the south park reference with the models from the wow episode is top notch 4:01
I’m also a fan of fantasy public transportation. I’d read a whole series about how they built the tram system from Ironforge to Stormwind and/or the Goblin Zeppelin industry and how superior to TSA they truly are.
I needed that recreation of one of my favorite episodes of South Park in wow by one of my favorite youtubers. Thank you so much.
So Platinum can say, "I've Toured the Fjord" and faced the Might of Dragonblight now. And of course There's Nothing Boring About Borean.
Ate some raisins in Shalazar Basin, paid some bills in Grizzly Hills, rode a Yak in Zul'Drak, visited a sheik in Storm Peaks, used his clasp to climb Wintergrasp, pulled out the dong in Crystal song, the cold made him frown in Icecrown
@@civilian4live I was citing the literal names of the achievements for completing all the quests in the three zones. But nice ones.
The SOuth Park reference was so well made, wow :D
You make my favorite WoW videos Plat. You’re a blessing man, seriously.
As always could not look away from your video, always so much fun and interesting facts. Also your humor is the best, keep up the work!
It's the subtlety of the humour that gets me everytime xD Just a casual FLYING DEATH FORTRESS in the background and I break like Shadowlangs lore.
Very glad you are continuing the zone safari
When I played Wrath when it came out, I quested through Borean Tundra on my first character, so I think I may have to start there for nostalgia. But Howling Fjord looks so much better lol
Thanks for this video, been on the toilet for 3 days, still waiting for the log to finish so I need all the content I can get.
Amazing video, looking forward to part 2. The South Park bit was genius, also the elevator music from Stanley Parable is unironically great
0:42
Chills....good old times. :) Great video, as usual! I loved the SP reference
great video platinum wow i cant wait for LK classic i hope everyone have fun i cant wait for more content from your channel
You ever just get bored and scroll through videos until you see one that makes you go "oooh" and click immediately. Yeah that's your vids every time man.
Really nice video man! xD Keep the good work!! Greetings from Peru!
You missed the entire plague development stuff in New Agamand and the entirety of Utgarde keep? The wrathgate? The FROSTMOURNE CAVE IN DRAGONBLIGHT with the Scarlets just outside it? You missed sooooo much
(part 1)
Dude, if all were to be included we would end up with hourlong videos - just for each zone!
I love this channel, keep up the great work
I love your videos plat!!! Never stop, you bring so much joy into my life. :)))
lol great editing. I really loved the turtle doing race car sounds and the skkkrrrrtttt when it parked.
You know it's gonna be a good day when platinum uploads a new video
Amazing video as always. Keep it up man
WOW Plat, excellent reference to SouthPark, with two different episodes, awesome video, this is content for a main monitor
I freaking love these zone videos, I never followed on the lore when I leveled in them myself.
Amazing vid was super fun to watch 😊
Honestly your vids are the highlights of my days
19:33 Ok, kids let's count the Thousand Needles. One Thousand Needles, TWo Thousand Needles, THRee Thousand Needles, FOUR Thousand Needles, too many damn Needles. We'll be right back after this short word from our sponsor to talk about counting taunka orphans, see you in a bit.
I don't know if you will make a video just about that, but for me the best part of Howling Fjord and Dragonblight is seeing the Forsaken plague being developed. You actually start to follow it since the Forsaken initial zones, doing one or another quest for the Royal Apothecary Society, but it really picks up steam on Northrend, culminating on the Wrathgate battle, which was the first time we got an ingame cinematic and it was really cool back then.
God damn, you never fail to entertain, nobody does it like you bro, you make the best wow content on the internet! Keep it up!
Your videos are always so entertaining all the way through. I used to wish I could watch Nobbles videos but they were so boring. Thank you for making wow lore sound as interesting as it actually is!
FLYING
DEATH
FORTRESS
incredible video it killed me how it was still there in the back when you were talking about the taunka
Please don’t stop posting! Your stuff is amazing!!
Awesome video as always. Really hyping me up for that sweet howling fjord music.
These videos are the best way to experience WOW, in my opinion.
This made my day thank you platinum
12:06 "Arthas would later abandon his men in Northrend, leaving them to suffer a slow, agonizing demise."
Arthas back-shimmy-ing away as he fades away LOL! the humor of these videos!
The South Park bit was a really nice touch, especially with the original PCs from the WoW episode. Great work.
