Analysis of a Failure : Why the Shadowlands Finale Cinematic Misses
World of Warcraft Shadowlands concludes the story of Zovaal the Jailer in the 9.2 raid Sepulcher of the First Ones. There is a new cinematic showing us his death, but also a snippet of his past and the promise of a new, EVEN BIGGER bad. The raid ending has not gone down well in the community, with many claiming that the lore and history of Warcraft from WC3 through Wrath of the Lich King to now has been butchered in service of a dud. Taliesin embarks on another cinematic deep-dive analysis of the Jailer death cinematic and asks… why does everyone hate the Shadowlands finale?
9.2 Launch
The Jailer now holds the key to forging a new reality where all souls kneel in his service. In a final stand, Azeroth’s heroes must pursue him into the mysterious realm of Zereth Mortis, where the Progenitors first forged the afterlives. Stand together in the Shadowlands’ darkest hour and defy Death to decide the fate of the cosmos before all you know is undone. Source: Blizzard

Executive Summary
RUIN will continue to encourage our community members to branch out into the full spectrum of online multiplayer games through our Summer 2021-2022 Campaign.
Serving a mission that is greater than gear score.
Large parts of the RUIN community are deliberately moving away from Activision Blizzard games towards more healthy environments to build communities. Star Wars: The Old Republic, Final Fantasy XIV and other games align more closely to our values. Strong interest in new and upcoming games.
We need fun, engaging content that encourages players to grow together as teams and individuals.
World of Warcraft and other MMORPGS.
MMOs, at their core, are games that provide for the communal experien ce of the Great Myth which is a fundamental human pursuit throughout nearly every culture and time in history. Intellectual properties such as, Star Wars, World of Warcraft, Elder Scrolls, etc. aremodern adaptations and additions to the great human myth telling tradition. Expansive universes in which the heroic journey of many trials can be more directly experienced.
We encourage members to immerse themselves in the rich lore and ever expanding stories that are the foundation of every game we play. Invest time and pride into your characters! Strive to fully enjoy the online gaming experience within our community!
