This is intense. This is a video of the final quest in the chain of the Death Knight starting area. The short version, you are one of the vanguards in a massive scourge army that will destroy Light’s Hope Chapel! I eat this stuff up man woot!

I really like Christie Golden’s writing. She does an amazing job with the Horde lore and is possibly one of the main driving factors that helped me make the decision to come back to the Horde fulltime 100%. Not to say that the Alliance is bad or evil or full of morons (though Eredar seems [...]

I’ve been meaning to talk about this for a while. Varian Wrynn. The guy is badass. He’s the Alliance version of Thrall basically. You learn about him in some of the novels and the comic book series is pretty much his story. I love the fact that Blizzard is taking lore to a new level [...]

Yeah that’s right ladies & gentlemen, time to get wet because we’re finally going to get ourselves a taste of the Ashbringer.

The World of Warcraft Comic Book by Wildstorm has received great acceptance by fans of the World of Warcraft MMO and by newcomers to the series. The Ongoing series tells the story of an [...]

Is it Arthas? Is it Ner’zhul? I always figured it’s a new entity all together only known as the Lich King.
Before Arthas donned the Lich King’s armor, it was the spirit of the former Orc Shaman Ner’zhul who’s soul was attached to the armor and then imprisoned (physically) inside the Frozen Throne. Now Arthas and [...]

Tokyopop has updated their Store Section with details of the upcoming manga Warcraft: Legends volume 1, which contains four unique Warcraft adventures. I like the way this is turning out because I’m a big fan of shorter stories as well a pretty big fan of Richard Knaak. Having read the Sunwell Trilogy and then learning [...]

I wouldn’t so much say this was an official poll (the one up now has a few more days left before I tally the results) but I was just curious. I recently got the Collector’s Edition of Burning Crusade (because I’m a collector) and watching the behind the scenes DVD I see how the game [...]

Alright time for a little lore wanking. As I’ve stated ten thousand times already, I am a very large lore freak. Akin to the kind of people yiffing at comic conventions over cat ears, lore just gives me a reason to enjoy playing the game. There’s a poll going on right now and the grand [...]

There’s tons of buzz going around about the new expansion, Warth of the Lich King. I am obviously enthralled and deeply in love with this expansion. Maybe it’s the fanboy in me crying out for attention but the whole Outlands thing struck me as not Warcrafty. I mean I’m breathing and flying in outer space [...]

I would have to say that to some degree this is true. People think of let’s say a hunter, they think ok dwarf or nightelf. But there really isn’t any specific tie in with classes and their race in a limiting kind of way. Sure there are restrictions in the gameplay and frankly in common [...]

We still don’t know the nitty gritty details but one thing that seems pretty much legit would be that your account must have one high level character in order to make a Death Knight. This makes sense in many ways as the Death Knight isn’t supposed to exactly be super powerful, just something special that [...]

It’s funny to think that there are a lot of people who play World of Warcraft and yet never played Warcraft III or any of the other original Warcraft games. The fact that this game in itself is a great feat since it took a real time strategy war game and turned it into a [...]

This here (with my added comments) is the official Blizzard lore surrounding the new Sunwell Plateau area being released in Patch 2.4. The original deal can be read at their site which I reported yesterday, but I noticed there are some things that are kind of new and yet not unfamiliar in the explanation.

With all the new revelations in lore coming with patch 2.4, I thought this would be a good time to highlight something that most players are going to overlook. The Blood Knights.
First off let’s get a little background to the whole thing, this means we rewind back to the beginning of the burning crusade when [...]

Uldum is introduced into your character’s life relatively early in the game. Around the low-mid 40’s you’ll (if you’re a glutton for punishment) run Uldaman, which is overrun with troggs and Earthen (the ancestors of dwarves).
I am a massive freak on creationism in the World of Warcraft, and so by that fact I go positively [...]

This is it folks, the last part of my Burning Crusade summary. Obviously there’s been a lot of omissions as the story has many different elements that can branch off in themselves so for the sake of argument, this entire deal has just been a summary of the major points and goings on in the [...]

Goooooooood morning, Vietnam! Hey, this is not a test! This is rock and roll! Time to rock it from the Delta to the D.M.Z.!
It’s March 3rd and Spooncraft has been live for a month now and going strong. A major thank you going out to the wonderful folks of Fight Club, Novus Ordo Seclorum, and [...]

You can download them here: Direct Download
From these files you can tell:
1. Entropius is M’uru.
2. Kil’jaeden has 4 phases.
3. Anveena does sacrifice herself and dies but Kalec survives the fight (Kalec does aid the Kil’jaeden fight it seems judging by voice files). ‘You are not alone the blue dragonflight shall help you vanquish the deciever.’
4. [...]

Welcome back to part 2 of my Burning Crusade breakdown. You can catch up with the first part here.
So we adventurers and powerful heroes of the Horde and Alliance are spreading through all of Outland with the Dark Portal taken. Eventually we make it to Shattrath city where A’dal leads the forces of the light [...]

This time on loregasm we’re going to get a little in depth as to what this entire expansion has been about. Why exactly are we in Outland? More importantly how is it that Illidan and all these other freaks are running around being all emo in said Outland? But even more interesting would be [...]

When Patch 2.4 was first announced and the PTR went live, there were a lot of images circulating. The concept of fighting a Dark Naaru as one of the bosses was pretty exciting hands down. There was however, a creature model that simply said “Void God” and looked like a tall skinny voidwalker with these [...]

We finally did it folks! We got a new building! I will try to update this post as much as possible with followups as things progress.
Allow me to explain. On the PTRs we’re experiencing the world event that will go along with the start of this patch 2.4’s sunwell content. What happens is you are [...]

Loregasm is another section I will update as much as possible. I am a major freakishly obsessed lore buff with the Warcraft universe; whenever my friends or guild mates have a question they refer to me as the “Rickipedia” of warcraft lore and I oblige with joy to answer them.
Patch 2.4 is upon us [...]
