WoW DorksFollow

That'd put it before the events of WC3 chronologically. There's no interest in making a movie of an Alliance-dominated world with no trolls, no tauren, no blood elves and no undead.

There is a backstory in FFXI or generally a mythology that builds with each successive installment. I'm much more of a FF fangirl than anything but realistically, I'm not sure it is because it is well-written. Sometimes it just seems batsh*t insane. Maybe EQ is better. It probably has alot to do with when and with whom you became engaged. I think that's the case for me. The most fun I've ever had playing an MMORPG was a two year stint on FFXi and that was because I liked my guild so much and we did so many runs together. I don't think it's the game itself. That or it's just personal preference. There are some great moments during FF games.

All three games have extensive lore, and I don't feel that either one is superior to the others story wise. I've always loved a good story as long as it's told well. EQ and FFXI do a great job at telling their own stories, WoW's story isn't as well fleshed out in game as the others, however there's lots of other materials outside of the game to fill in the gaps for the players that want it.

As for a Warcraft movie, I feel it has an advantage over most other video game movies. Other video game movies had their studios make drastic changes to the canon of the game to make it more appealing to the mainstream, often slighting the fans in the process. WoW has so many players worldwide that the fans -are- the mainstream, and so they'll be able to stick to the source material more closely than they usually would.

Most video games that were made into movies had crappy lore. WoW has a lot and so making a movie has a lot more potential than something like Street Fighter and Super Mario Brothers. Although to be fair there is a D&D movie too. But again Blizzard has built a reputation of maintaining quality. I'll probably watch it but I'm pretty sure it's going to be overhyped by fanbois.

Ten years before WoW? So that's five years before WC3.

I'm not sure how this is going to involve both Thrall and the world tree, but time travel of any sort is involved I will cut a ***** not go and see the film.

Oh, and yeah, you don't get as much of a feel for lore in WoW unless you've played the RTS games. The lore in WoW is often watered down from the RTS for gameplay reasons, which tends to make it less interesting. Night elves, in particular, get screwed over pretty hard.

So that's right around the time the horde invaded Thereamore isnt't it? Or was that more then 1 year before WoW?

Edit: I fail at spelling and quoting :(
