    I guess the story of AU Gul'dan is much different than the story of OG Gul'dan. OG Gul'dan was a shaman from Shadowmoon, the apprentice of Ner'zhul.

    Great video. Very reminiscent of the Orc stories they did fro WoD. Hope the rest are as good.

    Awesome, my opinion on Gul'dan as a character just shot up.

    The irony of using Khadgar's voice actor for the clan elder is not lost on me.

    so why should we care about alt dranors gul'dan back story i don't see the point as its not the same as our gul'dans backstory.

    Because Draenors Gul'dan is who we are fighting, OUR Gul'dan was killed long ago

    Because our Gul'dan was killed long ago. Alt-Gul'dan brought the new trans-dimensional spiffy-spaceship Legion to our doorstep.

    This will be his SECOND full Xpac. He is currently the first main enemy that we have tried to kill for 2 full X packs in a row, that alone makes him big in the games story.

    Spoiler Below
    All of our major leaders are going to DIE.. because of HIM, Wrynn , Tirion, Vol'jin, Thrall nearly dies, the countless acts of destruction to our world, what do you mean leave little impact?

    Apparently the whole idea of what blizz is doing with these mini skits is lost on you

    its not is second full expan he didn't really matter in wod until hfc he was there but didn't really amount to much and its not like hes malygoes in wrath or lady vash in tbc he his past doesn't really matter as it hasn't effect our world out gul'dan had huge impacts on our outland and azeroth where this gul'dan is gonna res illidan then kick the bucket most likely it it could be any other random warlock and you would get the same effect.

    For entertainment? Gezz some people seems to forgot what fun means to be, allways a negative....

    On a side note, this looks great, cant wait to watch the others, I love how Blizzard is doing this bits of backstory (including the novels and free comics) aside from the game, it makes you feel more invested in every main character of the game.

    You understand original Gul'dan is dead since long ago when he oppened the tomb of sargeras, right ? Illidan even consumed his skull.

    The real threat is AU Gul'dan. The one from unexploded Draenor, the one from this video, the one we will fight in Legion.

    Yeah sure, the actual Legion invasion that is coming isn't important, at all...

    Some people really don't understand wow's lore.
