The Complete Lore?
I've been meaning to read up on as much Lore as possible and my interest has just be re-newed by the movie called "Lament Of The Highborne" on the official site.
(This one : http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/downloads/movies.html)
What do you guys reckon would be the best way to approach this hunger for Lore?
(Short of playing the games because I suck at RTS games. I'm about 30% through Warcraft 3 though.)
Are there books I can buy? (A friend has The Sunwell Trilogy, I might borrow those sometime.)
Read about the events in historical order or read about each race/class/NPC individually?
Is WoWWiki reliable for Lore? (User submitted = accurate?)
Thanks for the info.
/me goes to waiting for the servers to come back online and for an Admin to re-instate posters' blogging abilities.

To "approach" it, I'd start by reading the backstory of WoW on the official site.....
And I do look at the wiki for backstories.

Wiki is a good start, I think wowwiki got most of there Lore there is,
ei: http://www.wowwiki.com/Lore
If you could get your hands on an original War2 manual, that would be quite a treat, as that thing is brimming with Lore (tho it doesn't agree 100% with the current canon).

You can probably download the pdf version from somewhere. Because I have the budget release of war2 mine came as a pdf instead of a hardcopy. Was quite fun looking through it recently :D
