WoWFlix: The Weapon Vendor

WoWFlix is a column featuring videos from around the web related to World of Warcraft. If you find something you’d like to be featured, leave a comment or send a tweet to @Heartbourne.


I decided that this edition of WoWFlix should be non-music based and PG rated, which ruled out most of the WoW videos I saw in the past month. However, wowcrendor recently hit the scene with his snarky videos, and this one is perhaps my favorite.

It tells the story of Urtharo, who starts the video as a boy aspiring to be a Weapon Vendor. Horde players know him well, as he is on the way from the area where you port into Orgrimmar to the bank and auction house, making him clearly superior to Kaja for repairs and vendoring grays. The story goes that he ran a successful weapon shop until BC came out, and nobody bought his stuff. Since he was required by the Orgrimmar constitution to buy people's stuff, he went bankrupt. His shop closed down, but he played the auction house to regain his fortune. He became extravagantly rich, but then didn't pay heed to the warning that Wrath of the Lich King was coming out, and invested and lost most of his money on Primal Fire, since most people wanted Eternal Fire. After becoming so poor that he wandered out of Orgrimmar to the boar farm, where he got boar flu. He then got killed by a harpy when searching for a cure.

Discuss.
