Brace yourselves — I actually opened WoW for more than auction stuff this week! hahaha!
I’d been watching a video a few weeks ago about rare titles, and that video basically got me thinking about titles, and it also encouraged me to watch a video series about this one guy Barny on a Classic server and the title Scarab Lord.
Scarab Lord is a wild title. The things necessary to get the title are absolutely bonkers.
So I visited Silithus (old world version) on Kurn and recorded a little video which is the first of a series in which I tell a story or two. Or three. It’ll be called Storytime with Kurn. And so my first stories have to do with Scarab Lord and the Brood of Nozdormu and such.
I may rerecord it because I think I rambled too much, so I need to rewatch it before I post it anywhere, and then potentially rerecord it, but expect it this week at my YouTube channel!
ETA: Here’s the link, I didn’t rerecord it:
Let me know what zones/dungeons/etc you want to hear my stories about. Anything from Vanilla to Cataclysm is valid.
Haven’t done much else and don’t have a lot of thoughts today, but let me know what stories you want to hear, go subscribe to my YouTube channel, and I’ll do what I can to get stories up weekly-ish. :)
Can confirm Scarab Lord is a wild title, and when OG Classic dropped in 2019 it was an entire guild effort, and frequently took multiple smaller guilds’ help to handle parts of the grind, especially if you were on a PvP server.
As far as stories go, I want to hear Sunwell stories. Never did it at level, as it was before my original WoW start date (in 2009) and I had to drop progression raiding in Classic in 2022 (our raid team only ventured in there once before the team collapsed because the guild transferred servers in 2022). But I heard stories about how effing hard that raid was; it was a complete level above anything else in Classic at that point.
It was an all-guild effort back in … whatever year that was, too. :D Absolutely wild. Truly mad.
Sunwell is an interesting instance, but I must admit I never finished it. We had some pulls on the first boss and then called it an expansion. But I think I’ll talk about our raiding in Burning Crusade, and talk about how I would run circles in Nagrand mining and chasing gas clouds while talking to my RL Friend the Resto Druid in a private channel about how M’uru was killing them…
