Episode 11.3: Karazhan

Project Lore and pals take a a much deserved rest and play a little game of Chess in Karazhan. Will the guys and gals be able to take out the King or will this be the first Chess wipe ever? Take a look at the episode to find out.

As Karazhan is a 10-man raid, the guys wrangled in five members of the Totally Rad Guild to help them out. Here are the armories for everyone involved: DrDark, Lylelovett, Goggins, Dorkins, Xenophontos, Manifesto, Talonni, Bastosa, Wyche, and Wilx. They're almost to Prince, so watch how things turn out!

Remember that our subscribe page has links for Project Lore all over the web. You can use our Episodes RSS feed or Twitter to find out when new episodes are out, and don't forget to join our Facebook Group, Facebook Page, and MySpace.

Next week we'll finish up Karazhan and still have more of the Ten Days of Knight for you. Tune in then!

Good job guys. I like how the event started before you guys were ready. Too bad the episode was so short.

"Ahha...sounds fine!" :D
Great job guys!

I also have a question to Steve Marcus Bastosa Jenkins! :D (GOD u have a long name! :D)

I was a ret pally for long and around 60 I switched to Prot and it waas awesome. Now Echoes of Doom came out and it was kind of depressing to see everyone change spec to retri. I'm not playing that long on official servers, but it was kind of disappointing to see everyone go to ret. So I switched too :S
My question is: How did you manage not to change and not controlled by the "Dark Side"? :D And if u can u should give some pro-s for a prot pally, cause I wanna go back prot, but I need some pro-s for it.
Thx

I love the Chess event. You guys did it pretty quickly.

October 17, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterNaasuk(Andrew)

Prot Pallys are amazing now. They are a lot more fun to play than they used to be.

I just turned 70 with my paladin and he 4 manned BM easily with a pug. I ran through slabs with another prot pally and we where pulling 2 groups at a time. I do tons of damage as opposed to before the patch. I actually have killing blows in BG's. They realized that people did not like to tank and so they are changing it to make tanking more appealing.

FYI: If you have run Kara since the patch you will realize that is a cake walk now compared to what is used to be.

Ok, so you won Chess. How did you do it? lol

Maybe a post kill review to cover the stragegy since it was interrupted?

October 17, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterFrazz

That was freakin' awsome!! I wanna do Karazan so bad!!

Hint: Everybody seems to be quiet alot during battles. Hint for Juggy... try to break up the silence by playing a ring tone into the speaker!! It would be so funny, lol!!!
:) :) :) Great Vid

OH, are there still going to be Alexis wrapups, there isn't one one the episode list?????

@ Lukee I never really thought of switching to ret to be honest.

I'm a tank, its what I love doing. Sure ret pally's are cranking out tons of DPS, and pwning in PVP... and good for them, but that's not me. I'm not DPS.

Besides, I'm cranking out more than enough damage right now to keep myself happy. I Finished Kara last night 2nd in overall damage... as a tank :) 3.0.2 has been good to us!

Short episode. But good play.

Its weird watching Chess from the Alliance side. I've only done it Horde side. But a nice change of pace.

October 17, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterGene

Kinda wish you spent some more time explaining the strategy.

October 17, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterRyan

Not really a strategy involved. Move the pieces and win.

Watching it is almost as cool as doing it.

(Usually during chess i go get a sandwich)

October 17, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKeith

you know my guild tried their best to wipe on this by letting someone solo chess, and we still won, who knows what blizzard was thinking when they made this, probly a failed experiment or perhaps free epics.

Either way you have about 3 skills tops on those pieces, there is no strategy, a chimp could faceroll and he would help out in chess.

October 18, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSefeth

I love chess. It's almost impossible to wipe on. I am so used to watching it being done from the horde side. I didn't realize that the alliance players get to play the alliance peices. It makes sense now. So cool.

By the way, I love goggins face at 7:13.

Project lore?
Lore, all the facts and traditions about a particular subject that have been accumulated over time through education or experience.

Now lets review...in this episode there was oh thats right none and as for explanation on the fight there was...none? and in the past theres been forgive me if im wrong but would that be none?

Now if the show was called project 4 fails and a speaker box Feed the audience Bullshit and scream into there microphones like children id be quite happy to go about my business.

But today made me snap:
"lore" no mention of medivh
GOOD-JOB
No idea about faction depending on pieces used
Experienced As
But my all time fave for the Wotlk previews....
Arthas the shaman... Nice work you really deserve the computers your playing and the beta keys you got you Collosal douche bags.
go play runescape tools

October 18, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterWhy?

Why?,

Why don't you get your head out of your ass and realize that these guys had a good idea and went with it. I am pretty sure you are just QQin because you didn't think of it first.

One: the fight was accidentally started, which just happen to me as a raid leader and all you can do is go with it. Next time you are a raid leader (if you ever have that chance) remember how much of a Douche Bag you are when you figure out its kinda hard. I am pretty sure you are trying to focus on what you are doing and not talking and explain the fight.

One of my favorite things about project lore is that they do give some of the lore behind what is going on. I also know that it could takes ages to explain ever detail of the lore...so in saying so go to wowwiki.com and read it for yourself. Stop hatin on them because you didn't get what you wanted. No one cares to see you "TRY" and flame theses guys.

Last thing. Learn to gain some humor. You might actually stop hating yourself and laugh every once and a while.

Good Job Project Lore. Keep doing whatcha doin.

Dorkins. Hunter to Hunter. I owe you :P

@imed @ Why?.

Seriously dude

Think about it this actually help new players like me help pro players like you not wipe at bosses just cause we dont know anything about it, so at least see some benefit into this. These guys make wow amusing, funny, and interesting to learn about either lore wise, info wise, or raid or heroic wise. so they make your "job" if you are a raid leader or just in a raid alot more easier- imagine that telling someone in your raid or guild b4 the raid or instance to go watch PL to make your life easier. Geez dude don't be so hard on life, go sniff a flower or something. and yes i did just say that. FACE.

Oh and i didnt mean to argue on comments. just trying to say that you guys are doing a great job. lets continue about the PL episode and disregard Why?.

another great episode guys keep it up XD

Hey, Dr.Dark, what addons do you use because I've been wondering what that HUD addon was and how you get the CP to show up like that

October 19, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterChacka

Chacka:

Dr.dark uses the addon d-hud i belive.

and keep it goin on these shows...ive done the instances but man its fun to watch you guys play.

October 20, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterGuan

hate to break it to u guys, Bobby Ficher died earlier this year.

ALso on a side note, WOW chess has absolutely nothing to do with real chess, which was kinda disapointing to me the first time i ran it

October 21, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterBroadway-BWL

Love the episodes, its always fun watching other perspectives on things, esp when its higher quality. Even though kara is just a quick badge run for us, its always nice to see people try and help out the average player get a grasp of the game concept. It would be nice to see some sunwell stuff but i'm not sure there is enough time to do all that before wrath release.

Keep up the good work and lets see some more wrath beta content! I wanna see some naxx10/25. I miss that place.

October 21, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterZedak-Arathor(us)

@ Guan
