Since its launch in 2004, World of Warcraft has attracted millions of players and has become a cultural phenomenon. While World of Warcraft is undoubtedly a juggernaut of the MMORPG genre, nobody can deny that Warcraft 3 had a significant impact on the game’s development, laying the groundwork for many of the MMO’s core features and mechanics.

He helped Rexxar free Baine Bloodhoof from centaur captivity and brought him back to his father, Cairne.

According to Wowhead, World of Warcraft: Dragonflight players will be able to experience the story of Old Hatreds, the Tauren and Centaur's bloody shared past, all the while interacting with the nomadic Windtotem Tauren tribe, and its proud leader, Bovan Windtotem. The storyline looks to be an exciting one for fans of the mighty Tauren chieftain, Baine Bloodhoof, son of the powerful Cairne Bloodhoof.

In World of Warcraft, numerous Warcraft 3 characters have already made cameos as bosses, quest givers, or even playable classes (like the Death Knight or the Demon Hunter). That being said, Introducing more characters from Warcraft 3 could be a smart move for Blizzard, as they could potentially enrich World of Warcraft and offer new storylines and quests for nostalgic players to enjoy as the two games are connected by a deep and intricate lore.

World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is available now for PC.
