I agree too, but they already said that this wouldn't be based on any story from the games, that it would be an original, but canonical, story.

What's the difference between Warcraft and World of Warcraft?

Well, Warcraft is both the name of the series of games and the name of the first game in the series, a strategy game called "Warcraft: Orcs VS Humans"

World of Warcraft is an MMORPG that takes place in the same universe as Warcraft, Warcraft 2, and Warcraft 3.

I see.


I don't really.
This movie is just going to be like a twisted version of Lord of The Rings.

How is it hard to understand? Warcraft is a strategy game where you command troops to tell them where to go, who to attack, etc. World of Warcraft is a game where you make a character and go around killing monsters and shit.

Shit, Ash, that Warcraft 3 picture is from the early beta. Where'd you find it?

Hmm, I thought you wouldn't find beta images unless you looked specifically.

It is? I didn't notice. What details gave it away? I don't see much difference from the final version.

Pretty much everything...

1. The orc's food building was changed to a burrow from the pig farm you see there, + I assume that was the old model for the war mill at the bottom.
2. A level 6 archmage has just over 300 health? And the stat graphics are all in the wrong location + speed and range aren't shown in the real game
3. The trees look better, which they famously did for the beta to get people to think it had better graphics than it would turn out to have.
4. That ring item graphic doesn't exist
5. Gold mine looks different
6. That map doesn't exist, although this could be attributed to a custom map
7. Only in the beta can witch doctors place serpent wards
