World of Warcraft Cataclysm Cinematic Trailer

@heyitsmexD: Actually Sargeras was corrupted by his own depression while fighting the demons.

[quote=WowWiki]
During his never ending war against the evil in the universe, Sargeras became increasingly depressed by the chaos he saw wrought by all kinds of evil. While his confusion and misery deepened, Sargeras was forced to contend with another group intent on disrupting the titans' order: the nathrezim. This dark race of vampiric demons (also known as dreadlords) conquered a number of populated worlds by possessing their inhabitants and turning them to the shadow. The nefarious, scheming dreadlords turned whole nations against one another by manipulating them into unthinking hatred and mistrust. Sargeras defeated the nathrezim easily, but their corruption affected him deeply.
Shaken by the evil of demons in general and the nathrezim in particular, Sargeras began to despair of his task and gradually slipped into a brooding depression. As doubt and despair overwhelmed Sargeras's senses, he lost all faith not only in his mission, but also in the titans' vision of an ordered universe. Eventually, he came to believe that the concept of order itself was folly, and that chaos and depravity were the only absolutes within the dark, lonely universe. His fellow titans tried to make Sargeras realize his erroneous way of thinking and calm his raging emotions, but he disregarded their more optimistic beliefs as self-serving delusions. Storming from their ranks forever, Sargeras set out to find his own place in the universe. Although the Pantheon was sorrowful at his departure, the titans could never have predicted just how far their lost brother would go.

That extract is actually from the Warcraft III manual and the backstory behind the creation of the Burning Legion.

[quote=metzero]Oh k. So like. Say I only played the first one but then just decided to start. Should I play the other expansions first?[/quote]
you have to go in order.

[quote=LEGENDairy]@heyitsmexD: Really? I thought they hated only the Titans and Pantheon.[/quote]
Well, the Burning Legion does serve a similar purpose but for a different reason with the Old Gods. The leader of the Burning Legion, Sargeras was corrupted by the Old Gods when he was fighting them, and then led him to create the Burning Legion to undo all the Titans' work.
@metzero: nothing compared to maplestory. Casually, it probably will take about a month to reach the level cap, but it's very fun in doing so in Cata, I heard with all the new gimmicks in the new quest revamps, and the whole revamped Azeroth.

[quote=LEGENDairy]Neltharion would still be good if not for the Old Gods. They are the reason for all the chaos including the elementals and faceless ones. Makes you wonder if they're actually in league with the Burning Legion.[/quote]
The Old Gods hate the Burning Legion.

[quote=Panicka]It was kinda meh for me. I liked it but I wasn't "OMG DEATHWING" about it.[/quote]
Same here. I just thought it was epic that out of the blue, Deathwing appears on Stormwind on a nice day, turning the sky to a hellish color and that the SW citizens are just shocked. And those that remember him from the Second War are just as shocked.

I love Blizzard's cinematics! Wotlk is still my favorite, but this one is pretty awesome too

Cool reminds me of Sc/Diablo ones

[quote=LEGENDairy]I always was interested in Warcraft lore, the storyline and backstory of the different races. But I haven't played WoW, just like reading about the plot.[/quote]
same. I read about almost everything about WoW lore before I started. The lore is so deep and connected that it can be its own world.

[quote=ArchBrigade]Well like 6 months ago I got a email from them saying my account was deleted for inactivity. O.o, That was after like 2-3 years of inactivity.[/quote]
eeek. My accounts been inactive for 7 months now.

[quote=ArchBrigade]This makes me wish Blizzard didn't ban me for inactivity.
I almost want to shell out money for all the expansions again now. >.<
Anyway, Thanks for sharing the Video.[/quote]
they don't ban you for inactivity. they freeze your account until you buy more gamecards.

[quote=Joobilant]Dang, he killed Stormwind.[/quote]
he's the one that wrecks the entrance to Stormwind once the new revamps take place when Cata is released.
