What first got you hooked on the lore of WoW?  Lynda
That is an incredibly long story, but the short version -- I had a friend who wasn't a terribly emotional person. He didn't get excited about very many things. But he got really, really excited about Warcraft -- way more so than I'd ever seen him before. To me, that said that the story must be something really special, and once I started getting into it, I realized exactly how massive that story was. I like intricate things like that -- stories with so many layers that you never know when it's going to end.
