It's a pretty good movie and a really boring one stitched together. The orc parts are cool, the human parts are terrible.

its pretty good provided youre a fan of the game.
if not, youre gonna be really confused, and you wont like it.
they dont spoonfeed you every detail in the movie.
by merely naming the characters, fans already know who they are, their backstory and motives.
same with locations and objects.
if this was meant for the general, joe movie goer audience, every character would have a narration on them or someone expositions about them.

They can't lol.

They gave some background on the Legion cinematic. Each frame took like eight hours to render.

My wife really enjoyed it when we saw it together and she knew nothing of the games prior.

But she likes fantasy stuff like that. I can definitely see others being confused as fuck by the story but still loving the action sequences (like when Lothar and his gryphon fuck shit up at the end)

See, they can totally do it

It'd probably be the most expensive movie ever made though

It probably is but it's dropped a lot since they dumbed it down a ton.

They're finally launching official vanilla servers though so maybe a lot of players who missed the social aspect and difficulty will return. I know I will.

I know I'm being picky, but I wish they would have rolled it back just to BC. I think that was when WoW was at its best and might have drawn me back in.

If classic does well enough they'll probably do BC as well. I agree that BC was the best overall, though I had the most fun with my Death Knight in WOTLK.

they will, I am sure of it. there will be servers for each expansion to satisfy everyone. Everquest did that I think. that was the first mmo to do classic servers

Maybe. I won't hold my breath though.

I just have really fond memories running Karazhan with PUGs every week or two. Building them up in town, before LFG was a thing. After enough runs, some of the randoms I picked up would become regulars. We would add each other to friend lists and ask if they felt like running whatever heroics whenever.

It was relatively easy for me to get PUGs together because I was mainly a tank (Paladin) and I could solo tank most of it. The lack of a real damage reduction cool down really made Prince Melchazzar a wall for my tanking for a long time though.

I was also my guild's only Ret Paladin too, so I would have to respec a lot. Those 50g fees really added up. Back when Ret had a bad reputation as mostly useless. Especially as Alliance.

As someone who has no idea about the Warcraft universe, I was lucky enough to have a friend who had to basically tell me what the hell was going on in the movie. The only good thing about the movie was the Orc who was the leader of the Frostwolves and they ended up killing him. Everything else about the movie was bogus and the only good things were some of the fights looked great.

Kael'thas and his blood elves take over Tempest Keep, a fancy spaceship-like facility owned by some beings I won't bother explaining. Players enter this keep and defeat Kael'thas. They take one of his spheres as proof of his demise, but when they present it to the leader of Shattrath City, an image of Kael'thas appears and begins mocking them. He states that Kil'jaeden will return and we will all bow before his might.

Turns out that Kael'thas didn't believe Illidan was going to honor his promise to give the elves a new source of magic. Addicted to the fel magic Illidan had already offered them, Kael'thas began speaking with Kil'jaeden. Kil'jaeden promises him great power, so Kael'thas abandons Illidan and joins the Burning Legion.

Kael'thas is nursed back to health by a shivarra demon named Priestess Delrissa. He returns to Silvermoon City and reinvigorates the Sunwell with some stuff I won't go into here. He plans to use the Sunwell as a portal to bring Kil'jaeden into Azeroth, but he doesn't get to see that when it happens because we defeat him again. And this time we cut his head off just to be sure.

It's a point of contention with a lot of fans. BC is well liked, but pretty much everyone agrees that its story and what it did to its characters is shit. Legion had to retcon a lot of it to make Illidan a character again.

We went back in time and that's why Guldan exists again, right? Just bring Kaelthas back that way.

I actually have no fucking clue how any of that happened since I stopped in Wrath.

The director wants WC2 to mainly follow Thrall's story if he ever gets the chance to make it.

The movie was pure garbage and the plot of the games have become so intricate and riddled with "ah but the god of the god of the space goats made a deal with this character who we thought was dead except it was in the past..." It's beyond redemption

Going back in time to an alternate dimension was some of the dumbest shit they ever did, so let's not do that.

less than a million play legion. the number will probably drop to the tens of thousands soon.

At the very least in the sense that they no longer release subscriber numbers, so he's pulling that number out of his ass.

I'd love to see a movie about Arthas. It's a typical hero's downfall story but it's pretty well crafted and believable IMO, much more so than Darth Vader's, for example.

Pretty sure there's still a few million active subscriptions. If anything I'd be shocked if there weren't more since the game is super easy mode now compared to the pre-Cata days.

As far as vanilla, 10-20 million? The game peaked at like 12-15 million iirc. My guess is at most, 5 million will come back to check it out. Less than 2 million will stay.
