The Story of Warcraft - Full Version 2.0 [Lore]

It's been five years since we covered the complete story of Warcraft. Since that time we've had the warcraft chronicles to clean up some of the lore. Comics, short stories, audio drama's, youtube videos and brand new expansions in the form of Warlord of Draenor, Legion and Battle for Azeroth. All in all, plenty of new things to be added. Plenty of reason to honor your many requests and make an updated version... I really hope you'll enjoy the video!

My wife just started playing wow but felt so lost with all the lore. I was at a loss thinking "how the heck am I going to explain WoW lore to her?it's so much" then I remembered, 'duh, this isn't my problem, let Nobbel deal with it' she loves your videos and says you have a great narrator voice. For the hours of entertainment you have given me, and the hours you will give her, thank you for your hard work.

As someone who unfortunately missed the whole world of warcraft 15 years ago and has only decided to jump on board now...I thank you so much for this

Hey! I just wanted to let you know that for a very long time now my entire family and I have made sure to watch every single one of your videos in hopes to get a better understanding of Warcraft lore. The way that you describe all of the events in Warcraft's history is really clear and always helps us out when we want to know something specific about the lore.


It's usually so hard to dig through all of the databases that are available to find the specific little bits, and so our first resort is always your videos. So thanks for working hard all these years and making all of WoW lore more reachable for everyone!

[Vedastpoker]

Very good. I have spent way too many hours playing this game and didn’t have a structured history in my mind yet.

[jerseyj]

This was a blast to watch. I literally have played Warcraft since the very first RTS (Warcraft: Orcs & Humans) and still play WoW today. I remember some of those ancient story lines!

[DRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY]

Ive played every single warcraft game and thought I knew it all. You definitely schooled me a bit. I love warcrafts lore and characters. Arthas, Thrall, Illidan, Sylvannas, Varian, Uther, Bloodhoof and Saurfang...so many great stories and i barely scratched the surface.

[Remv]

As a new player this just makes the game feel EVEN more awesome. The lore is so deep and amazing no other game could come close to rivaling it ! thanks Nobbel ! truly awesome !

[nackrukool]

this is one of the best videos ever made, great for us newer wow people, i doubt you'll read this but i want you to know i spent 8 hours watching cinematics and trailers to try to understand some and in 5 minutes you had explained more then they ever did. this video is so well put together so concise and so dumbed down for entry level but not treating the audience like they are dumb. very impressed super excited to listen to this series . thanks a ton !

25:04 I get goosebumps *every single time*

[uniqueflowsnake]

"It was time to lead a crusade. A BURNING crusade, with his BURNING legion, to BURN away the corruption." made me lol

[JackeryPumpkin]

For some reason in my mind‘s eye when I listen to him talk I picture him smiling like Zapp Brannigan and posing occasionally in heroic ways. It just adds to the majesty of the video. Great work!

[Basheequa]

It took me way to long to discover this video. As a person that has gotten into WoW in the last few months I can say that if you intention is to go into the game and immerse yourself in the story from the beginning, then as of now, you've already failed. Thank Nobble87 that this video exists, thank you for helping me understand the world so I can immerse in it.
Thank you fro giving me a cup of your channel. You can expect me to come back often to get more servings, cause that right there tasted good.

[TheChazas]

Nothing would be better than high quality tv series to dethrone Game of Thrones.

[sonytekkno]

Jfc it's been over 10 years and yet I got goosebumps all over my body when we see Arthas' death...

[leezahbat]

I love that the subtitles say "smack smack" for weapon sounds during the WC3: Reign of Chaos cinematic clip.

[theBumruckus]

Really really well done. I've been playing WOW since wrath and never understood the full story. This is exactly what I've been looking for.

[kazdaillest]

this shits my favorite, i remember reading wowwiki all day in study hall back in 06 when i started...<3 *MY WHOLE HEART*

[TommyKay]

Image that like 1000 years ago people kinda would take a story like this as their religion :D
