 **Warcraft** is a fantasy(ish) game franchise created by Blizzard. It was initially a series of RTS games, then an MMO called **World of Warcraft**, which you've probably heard of once or twice. Besides the games, there are several books and comics expanding and tearing apart the story.\\  I think of myself as a pretty big Warcraft fan, seeing as I've been playing //The Frozen Throne// semi-regularly since I was 9 or 10...in single-player only. That said, I am not at all happy about how the story has gone since //The Frozen Throne//((:fn:>You could say I basically hate the direction.)) and I don't think anything short of a hard reset can fix the issues that plague Warcraft. Ironically, although I really //really// like a lot of what Warcraft has, I can’t help but criticize it.\\  Anyhow, let's just get into it. **Warcraft** is a fantasy(ish) game franchise created by Blizzard.
