Ultimately, the Burning Legion showed up, took the orcs into their ranks and destroyed the planet. It was once a healthy place where the orcs lived. 'Outland is the remnants of the planet Draenor, the world the orcs came from in the first place we saw a little bit of it in Warcraft II: Beyond The Dark Portal many moons ago. It's good, but it's complicated,' restarts Metzen from somewhere behind his orange-tinted shades. Specifically an introduction to the concept of Outland. For the uninitiated and if you haven't been worshipping at the Blizzard shrine throughout its days of top-down-ity, a little more exposition is required. But to understand The Burning Crusade's greatness, we have to fully understand from whence it comes. I struggle to see how this affects me.īut of course it affects me, it affects me hugely: level cap to 70! New race of Blood Elves! Mounts that can fly! I haven't been quite so happy since the man from Yorkshire's dog finally returned, apparently having rolled in something unpleasant. Really? Yesterday my Night-Elf was doing some sexy dancing and killing giant lizards with a bloke from Yorkshire who was a bit worried because his dog had run off and hadn't come back yet.

Sargaris is pretty dedicated to wiping out all life and just becoming the ultimate god. They show up, destroy all sentient races, consume all magic, refuel and move on. As the Legion pass through the cosmos, they burn every world they encounter.

'Over the ages, he's gathered an army of demons that he calls the Burning Legion and he's set out to eradicate all life within the universe. He's a fallen titan and an extremely ill-tempered dude,' begins Metzen as he cricks his neck. He's the closest man to Henry Rollins the games industry has. He's also a full-on rock star wide grin, muscular build, dazzling necklace, chunky rings and Bono sunglasses. He's the man who gives meaning to your daily grind. Every major nugget of Warcraft lore has passed through his hands - Frozen Thrones, Dark Portals, you name it. There Is A Life beyond the world as you know it I know because I've just been there.īut right now I'm sitting in an office in Irvine, California, and sitting opposite me is Blizzard's creative director Chris Metzen, the man whose mind provides the motivation every time an orc raises an axe in anger.
