    Oh don't drag that political garbage in here please. You've said "no" so let's assume you aren't interested. Feel free to ignore the thread and move on to other things that bring a ray of sunshine into your life.

    Leave this thread to people who actually think it's a great and improbable, yet fun, thing to imagine.

    That's true. If they did one during the WotLK era I might enjoy a series.

    A big budget series is better than a movie. WoW deserves a well thought out immersive screen adaptation. It's hard squeezing all that lore into under 2 hrs, but clear as day you miserable/angry fossil MMORPG types don't deserve that.

    Maybe 4chan or one of those d@#$head subreddits can come up with their own streaming service for that "real" American fantasy world content.

    A 16 year old addicted to wow who found movie editor on his mothers laptop isn't making better content than whats on netflix, nice try though.

    I'd probably check out an episode, just to see if it's any good. On a semi-off-topic...I finally did it. I cancelled my WoW sub. I kinda hoped there would be an exit interview. There wasn't. That kinda sums it up though, just disappointing all around. I kept seeing this post on mmo-champion about if you dislike the expansion, unsub. So I did it. Now I'm going to focus my time on Assasin's Creed Odyseey, The Witcher 3 (never got to this as I was mostly in WoW all the time), and Red Dead Redemption 2.

    Yeah, they got rid of those sometime in the last year or so and it's a shame. Maybe if they were interested in knowing why people are disappointed in WoW, they'd do something to fix it...though maybe that's just wishful thinking?

    As for the video, I thought it was a fun end-of-the-day thing to think about just to put the cares of the world away. Guess not for some of you, but oh well :)

    If it were a Netflix series it would have a bigger budget and look real good.I actually enjoyed the Warcraft movie,it looked professional.When Wow came out,to me it looked Indie,maybe because i looked at it from just a gamer and not as a Blizzard fanbois,i knew nothing about Blizzard at the time anyhow.
    Know why Warcraft looked good,it was done by somebody else,Legendary and Atlas.

    Also if were a series the show would not have to be cut short like the Warcraft movie.You see the movie could not go on for 10 hours to meet the demands of every viewer so of course it would be missing some expected Warcraft stuff/lore.However in a series it CAN go on for many shows and keep the theme going.
    So yeah imo,it would be pretty good,much better than anything else Blizzard has done,aside from the Warcraft movie.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    I would watch it. Well I will stop watching when the Draenei and their spaceships come crashing in. I might confuse them with the Andorians they are going to reskin in Star Trek: Discovery.

    Like the game or not; It has interesting characters and no lack of lore to draw from. Their cinematic generally garner praise and I think, if nothing else, it'd make a pretty decent fantasy series.

    Weren't they working on a Diablo series for Netflix? If that's still in the works, and ends up doing well, I can imagine a world where that partnership might extend to other IPs from Blizzard....in a "fun end-of-the-day thing to think about" sense at least. :)

    An animated series would be cool, I liked Castlevania.
