Considering the human starting zone quests I'm surprised hunger isn't on the list.
The amount of food quests is ridiculous haha
Seems mundane but kinda illustrative of the state the human kingdom was in at the time.
The massive amount of bandits and monsters on every square foot of land is probably the reason why they can’t grow any food
@@MadPutz In the lore, the problem come from the Defias who burned all the crops in Westfall and took control of smaller ones in Elwynn forest.
Pretty accurate depiction of what happened to hogger during the first week of classic.
It was funny to see 40 stacks of gnomes walk to Elwynn forest to fight Hogger as a raid boss
did he just waterboard hogger, thats defenetley new
When you are 60, but the memories of being 6 won't leave you.
Did you just spell definitely as defenetley, that’s definitely new.
Haha
Someone might even say.... Poggers
Came here to say the same he fucking waterboarded Hogger... Roflmao!
You forgot to mention the powerful Darkness that the Kobolds fear, the reason they have those candles is not just to light their way but to keep the Darkness away from them, this is why you see Betrayal a Hearthstone card with a kobold blowing out another one's candle.
Let me get this straight, Barathen Wrynn fought gnolls. And his grandson and great-grandson, Varian and Anduin, were/are fighting the Legion, Lich King, and Old Gods. Respect your elders my ass.
If you leveled in redridge you know that those fuckers are worst than anything the legion/old gods threw at us at this point
they may had greater threat to civilians
We have defeated The Legion, The Lich King, and the Old Gods. Gnolls, on the other hand, is an enemy we haven't defeated yet.
@@joel7342 actually true
@@pogchamp2897 lmao
15 years on, the Gnomes haven't taken Gnomregon back....
The live in Mechagon now
Chris Smid I read that as Michigan for some reason but it made sense to me.
Gnomes just went in ironforge to corrupt dwarvish master race instead of defending their home.
Cause now they know Ironforge is so much better! And the dwarves aren’t even asking for rent! Honestly dude, dwarves are just the most Chad race in all of Azeroth.
Look how much dps gnome warriors have. It should be easy nuff to wipe out troggs.
Murlocs might not be cannibals but they definitely eat other humanoids. Remember finding the chewed up chunks of Footman Malakai in Elwynn Forest?
Also, if you’re into creepy stuff in classic, the gnoll tents are made out of people. Look hard enough and you’ll see one of the tent models has a face.
Well, there were also bears and wolves nearby where the footmen were found... devil's advocate here - not sure I'd blame the murlocs right away.
@@BrewmasterBubbli
Bears and wolves wouldn't rip up bodies that way. That takes some dark intelligence.
@@wikipediaintellectual7088Azerothian wolves and bears would.
@@thomasleonardis711
They're not nearly smart enough.
1:42 “But never to a full-blown threat”
Kobolds in Hearthstone literally resurrected Galakrond
Yeah but Hearthstone’s lore is not canon
@@kamilostek It was my understanding that hearthstone lore is an alternate reality, as in we theoretically could visit it with the help of the Bronze Dragonflight. You're correct though, it's not Canon to our timeline.
Somewhere i have read that if the gnolls werent constantly fighting amongst each other,they would actually be a powerful enemy to the alliance
I heard this too. Scary shit
Anything in large numbers.
As someone said here: "We defeated the Lich King, the Burning Crusade and the Old Gods but we still haven't defeated Gnolls". Think about it.
Gnoll Horde allied race when?
@@Makslaite I dont think they like the horde
Have you heard the theory that Hogger is still alive?
Cata retconned him into being captured not killed and taken to the stockades. He then broke out and was killed. But then at the start of BFA when the horde break into the stockades He's still there... except it turns out it was actually just someone in a costume [the cosplay winner from blizzcon].
Elwynn Forest was merely a setback.
Or it could be another Gnoll named Hogger, as Gnoll leaders tend to have the same name.
In Redridge Mountain during Cata, you have to go help out a town deal with a pack of gnolls led by Yowler, who was the son of Yowler.
@@Crawdithe98 like the Gordon King of Diremaul?
No way he survived being run over by an SUV dude
Ngl, they had us in the first half.
WoW summed it up best when they had some mobs repeatedly say: "Kill you! Take your things." it perfectly describes every players purpose in the game. Kill anything that crosses your path then check the corpse for any valuables.
Yes those wyrmtongues? Always struck me as a parody of the player characters, hoarding masses of items for esoteric purposes.
"Murlocs, but more terrifying."
Sir, I prefer to *not* have to panic that something more terrifying than a murloc exists, even if in fiction.
The Murlocs where rapping I want to hear more of that.
It's an illegal Danish reference! ruclips.net/video/vgYcfV7D5gc/видео.html
Sadly Myndflame hasn't uploaded in years, god I miss Illegal Danish
Sam Shue thank you
The lack of Gnomish representation in the intro sequence is deeply, deeply... appreciated
it has troggs so close enough
Oh, that gnomophobe cringelords...
@@amalekh midget
@Focus Support pls i believe you mean kobolds??
nah, they were represented. They’re just under the screen
As someone who is currently leveling through Azeroth, I would like to, respectfully, demand more 'Dungeon Dives' - please and thank you.
Anywho, great video, as per ush'.
This is discussing vanilla era wow. Nothing like the game today.
"No plushies were harmed in the making of this video"
These videos make me feel a lot better about my murder rampage through Azeroth. Thanks for great content
oh man. blast from the past with that Myndflame Murloc track
I really, really enjoy your videos on Classic WoW, Platty ! Since I started watching them, I have learned a lot about Classic lore, which I sadly didn't while playing my Nightelf Druid in Classic. Keep it up ! For the Alliance !
The "So...uh yeah, they're pretty stupid" part killed me 😂
Interesting facts about each race:
1) Kobolts. Kobolts Mages have magic Candles on their head. It seems that their Earwax actually contains some form of Mana ... as weird as that is.
2) Gnolls. If you look at the tents of the Gnolls you may see a special one. With a human face sewn in. Yes they make their tents from the creatures they slay ... ALL creatures, including humans.
3) Trogs. Trogs have a special resistance to Poison damage in many cases. This is the reason why they are resistant, if not immune to the radiation of Gnomeregan.
4) Murlocs. Similarly to Ogres, the most powerfull Murloc Casters also tend to have a mutation, which turns their skin white. While the strongest Warriors have a mutation which turns their skin darker. Murlocs are also one of the few races, that actually retain their free will, if they are resurected as undead.
Man, if that candle magic things were true, they should sell it to the blood elf as 'magic cheese'
@@moch.farisdzulfiqar6123they no sell candle!!
Ahhhh that amazing trumpet music from the barrens and the badlands.
Missed the reason the kobolds have candles in the first place. They are very superstitious and afraid of the Darkness. The Darkness is likely what they call shades they find while digging but it could also just be the absence of light
Excellent work, Platinum. Thanks for this.
Well kobolds fight the darkness (Void..aka the end of all things) with there candles..so You NO TAKE CANDLE!
Those punches on that Hogger plush were *personal*
man your vids just keep getting better
i do be lovin murlocs doe, ive always wanted to play as a Murloc. Imagine being the Murloc Death Knight Mrggglerrrgrgr, who fell at the hands of some adventurer in the Borean Tundra. Murloc in full plate with a two hander? Yes please.
I would've liked you to talk about how the kobolds are mining ore for the defias brotherhoods war effort. They themselves might be a minor pest, but they actively contribute to the potential destruction of Stormwind until VanCleef was stopped.
I've just discovered this channel and I'm throughly enjoying it. Even though I already knew like 80% of this lore, it's still a blast to learn something new and the humor is pretty good :D
Dude I love the Illegal Danish reference with the murlocs
Been looking forward to this one for ages!!
Thank you for making this video. I really enjoy learning more about the smaller races, such as the Gnolls which are my favorite. Their design has the perfect blend of Warcraft brutishness and animal cartoon mascot that I can't not love them.
And thank you for featuring my artwork at 3:35. I was developing a mad max inspired scrap yard dwelling pack of Gnolls and planned to feature some concept art of them as a "fan pitch" for an allied race, but when the Mecha Gnomes got announced I decided to not explore the theme any further. I still think they have the potential to me made playable if the devs decide to include them in a "classic throwback" allied race pack, along with Murlocks for the Alliance I imagine.
2:32
Now all we need is a couch and we would have ourselves an *interesting* movie.
Best WoW Classic content creator
your videos keep me thoroughly entertained, i truly lost it when you waterboarded your hogger plushie
Another hilarious video Platinum. I don’t even play wow but your videos are so entertaining that it doesnt matter
This type of videos is by far my favorite on this channel ^-^
6:45
Holy shit, the nostalgia that just hit me
I think it was Cataclysm that mentioned that part of the reason Troggs were considered a failure was because they ate rocks which means they ate each other and caused a ton of damage to any Titan facility they infested. They even managed to get into Deepholm and spread like a plague.
I really enjoy these man.
Been waiting for this episode for a minute
Haven't heard that Myndflame song in ages
I just found this channel and never subbed so fast. The video was amazing!
oh man I haven't heard that Illegal Danish music in years!...
I still don’t understand why we are killing Kobolds. Even though as you said they are pretty stupid, they clearly at least know some basic common language, enough to say “you no take candle,” which is more than other races. I’d imagine some sort of arrangement for peace could be made by just offering them lights/ lanters/ waxes. I mean, they were there first and the Alliance kinda just came into thier dwellings to use as mines and clean out!
We kill them because the Alliance benefits from exploiting the mines and they're viewed as subhuman pests.
Been wanting my own murloc since 2005
amo tus videos!! como es que nunca los descubri antes
That murloc song takes me back and for some weird reason I just want to buy murloc merchandise.
best classic content on youtube
Just wanted to say, I love your vids and keep it up, brother.
6:58 *YOU THINK WE WOULDN'T NOTICE?!*
what the hell are you talking about
@@evanlarson2726You are uncultured! It is the murloc chant from Illegal Danish.
Super Funny vid keep up the good job
Good work man that part with trogs made almost spit my drink XD
i have been playing wow since vanilla, and created so many human chars i can even remmeber, and yet STILL the kobold being eaten by spiders didnt hit me untill you excplicitely mentioned it, so good job! this game has a LOT of horrific things that you dont really notice cus of the ccartoony look, yet if you stop for a second and take a good look at the enviroment and what people actually sayu and read between the lines, you wil lstart seeing them which is awesome
I need the murloc song as my ring tone
im surprised you didnt mention the devouring darkness when speaking of kobolds, such a cool part of their lore
Myndflame, now thats a nostalgia hit
One great video while I have to be at home because of covid-19
Man I have that murloc hoodie and I fucking love it
Just ONE mistake, Murlocs are Gorlocs that left the Sholazar Basin and not the other way around.
Keep it up dude, you are hilarious
I appreciate your familiarity with the work of HP Lovecraft. There are many hints of it in the WOW lore.
Is there really a murloc themed song????? Loved the one that played!
5:44 when he explains the difference between Troggs and the Earthen who fell to the curse of flesh. Lol
Another great vid. But, when will you be making that murloc music video you just promised us? (6:50 - 7:05)
Also... where can I get my very own Hogger plush?
Best Wow content creator!!
I wasn't expecting you did beat the ever loving hell out of a stuffed version of Hogger and then waterboard and run him over. Shit had me creasing with laughter XD
Ah the murloc song...takes me back
ah yes, I, venkleftis, the leader of kobolds. 1:31
:Yes! My shammy made it to the vid at 8:13 thanks Plat
murlocs sounds like they are constantly being water boarded
I like this, instant like and sub
My dude busted out the “enhanced interrogation” on hogger 😂
The most expensive thing in WoW is a 1st blizzcon code for Murky. Let that sink in.
I can't believe you'd do that to that adorable Hogger plush! He deserves better!
Great video! More dungeon lore please, and make it serious and in-depth, thanks.
I'm so glad that Gnoll Plushie clip exists because if someone hadn't done that before I was going to
Platinum, you make that good shit.
I never understood the merchandising of Murlocs, I played WoW during the earlier years from Vanilla to TLK and I am still scared of them whenever I think of all the shit they put me through. They always appear in packs and it is extremely easy to aggro additional Murlocs when you're fighting one as they have a huge aggro radius. I don't know about the current state of WoW, but in the earlier years, fighting more than one monster often means death, and it was so very important to keep the fight one on one. I remember Murlocs love to gang up.
“Kobolds are known to breed like rabbits..” now there’s a mental image I didn’t want...
I fucking loved the hogger part I didn't expect you to fucking water board him couldn't stop laughing
This kind of editing is so funny to watch
I figure lots of Alliance fight kobolds out of candle jealousy.
And Troggs just because they're upset that Troggs are smarter and prettier.
Murlocs, too, but that's a given.
the murloc part was from from illegal danish
The only thing murlocs don't have at this point is a playable race. "Still waiting"
Still a stupid idea
@@hervisdaubeny2591 I mean, it would be a stretch lore-wise, but in practicality, just how iconic the Murlocs are would make them amazingly enjoyable playable characters.
With how wide-spread they are, the best Blizzard could do is make a more intellectual sub-species appear. But there may be a more practical means, I'm not exactly a lore nerd.
@@YourCrazyDolphin not saying its impossible. Just saying its stupid. Never liked the fishy bastards never thought they were cute.
Things like murlocs, kobolds and knolls becoming allied races just don't make sense. They don't have cities, they don't have diplomacy, they don't negotiate, some even cannibalize, there's no inter connectivity between separate groups. Not to mention that their body shapes are terrible. Sure they're "humanoid", but the structuring of their bodies are so far from the playable races body structures. The most comparable allied race I would say are Vulpera, but Vulpera are just reskinned goblins. They can just cut and paste goblin armor on them. Modeling their gear would be a nightmare. I get people's desire to have them, but that desire is the only thing, literally the only thing, they have in terms of being an allied race. No lore, no current model that gear fits, no intelligence, no major cities, and the list goes on.
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen
6:55 I'd buy that album.
That part with Hogger was to good lmao
Hey, it would be awesome if you make a Video about all the noteworthy Murloks like Murky and the demon Hunter one
i need that murloc mix
great, Jinyu, yet another allied race we'll never get
Well fack. I thought Stormwind City was brand new.
I mean, Probably it was because I played the map in WC3 which in the description, said that stormwind was in the making, after lorderon fell.
Im pretty sure.
4:00-4:23 This is what PTSD from Hogger looks like kids. War is hell.
Kobolds, Gnolls, Troggs, and Murlocs... the Axis of Awful shall rise again!
You no take candle!
great video as always, but the defias are definitely missing from the list
3 mins ago this has never happened in my life
lmao the murlocs song
Lore videos about the current events and lead up to the start of the game in the plaguelands would be cool, you know Scarlet Crusade/Lordaeron survivors and what not.
