by SymphonieWorld of Warcraft has already seen nine expansions in two decades, with the current one being Dragonflight. So true game fans hardly suffer from all the same or repetitive content. This is especially true for those who are just starting their journey with WoW. You will definitely have a lot of interesting stuff to explore and will find it challenging (and interesting) enough to unlock the game fully. Fortunately, there is a WoW carry service that will help you defeat any boss and move further in the game.
In case you are curious to know some iconic stories about the World of Warcraft universe, which predetermined the further development of the game, then keep reading this post. In this article, we’ll reveal five of the most stunning plot twists that defined the game’s legacy.
#1 — The VanCleefs
One of the early twists in Warcraft’s MMORPG history occurred during the mission to destroy Edwin VanCleef and his Defias Brotherhood. Although the man’s goals were good, the method he went about ruined the city he claimed to have defended, ultimately resulting in his death at the hands of adventurers.
Come Cataclysm, it is revealed that his daughter, disguised as a girl named Hope, witnessed all of this and decided to revenge her father. It’s an innovative method to make players question the morality of their acts, even if only briefly. It also evoked a lot of nostalgia for those who had been playing the game since the beginning.
#2 — Muradin’s Survival
Muradin Bronzebeard was one of Arthas Menethil’s most trusted friends during the Human campaign in Warcraft III. Their paths intersected when Arthas pursued the evil lord Mal’Ganis, who had escaped to Northrend. Muradin mentioned a rune sword that was believed to be extremely powerful. This piqued Arthas’ curiosity.
When they eventually found it, Mal’Ganis was waiting for them, and Muradin understood that it was cursed. Frostmourne’s ensuing explosion hit Muradin with an ice shard. And it looked like he was killed. Surprisingly, Muradin survives the Wrath of the Lich King, although he is in poor health, tortured by remorse over his involvement in unwittingly corrupting the Lich King.
#3 — Kael’thas Sunstrider Joins the Burning Legion
Kael’thas led many of the survivors of Quel’Thalas’ cleansing during the Frozen Throne campaign. They battled their addiction to magic and renamed themselves the Blood Elves. To combat the vast legions of zombie soldiers and prejudiced human commanders, Kael’thas teams up with Illidan.
Fans were startled to know that the same elf — despite being a noble and dignified one — had turned into a crazy madman and had joined Kil’Jaeden. By now it was obvious that his addiction had taken hold of him. So players had no choice but to put down the once Blood Elves rescuer.
#4 — The Death of Vol’Jin and Varian Wrynn
Because of its plot, Legion was a contentious expansion, made much more so by the deaths of two prominent faction leaders. Following the Battle of the Broken Shore, both the Alliance and the Horde were left without a commander. Varian Wrynn exploded with demonic fel energy after spitting boldly in Gul’dan’s face.
By the time Vol’jinn reached Orgrimmar, he had already been marked for death after being poisoned and impaled during the fight. As he was dying, he made the controversial decision to appoint Sylvanas as the Horde’s leader — a decision that many players still disagree with.
#5 — Eternal Lich King: The Imperative of Uninterrupted Reign
For many fans of World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King is the greatest expansion ever released. Wrath of the Lich King offers the player a wonderful experience with its new landscapes, gameplay elements, and most importantly, plot. Everything appears to be over now that Arthas has been defeated. The Scourge still poses a threat to the globe, though. With a promise to keep the undead satisfied in the bitter winter, the anguished Bolvar Fordragon selflessly offers himself up as the next Lich King. This is a bittersweet victory for the heroes, as they realize that there will always be a new candidate to become the new Lich King.
Conclusion
Now you know how the rich and captivating narrative of World of Warcraft has evolved over the past two decades. From the unexpected revelations about the VanCleefs and Muradin’s survival to the shocking betrayals of Kael’thas and the tragic deaths of faction leaders, these narrative moments have left an indelible mark on the game’s legacy.
