It should just start at the beginning (so 1st war), like any other story. As for the players, weāre literally just soldiers so have us to the sidelines and the NPCs take centre stage.
Main thing Iād like to see is a lot of changes in regards to the bad writing we have had in the past, so stuff needs to be outright removed or re-written. As someone who prefers time travel at a minimum, Iād leave that exclusively for the Bronze and Infinite conflict, and get rid of WoD. Iād just replace it with Garrosh trying to unite Orc clans he deemed worthy of his True Horde.
The main plot of SL would be re-written as well. Iād have the Jailer just trying to leave the Maw and assume control of the afterlife after he was overthrown by his āsiblingsā for w/e reasons. Sylvanas could be a part of this story, but she doesnāt have some long history with the Jailer. Iād just keep her story constant-she wants a future for the Forsaken, by any means necessary.
i would probably like something if they make animations based on for example the history of elves ,trolls ,orcs , the windrunner sisters .something along that line
In the 2009 novel heās much more interesting of a character in comparison to what they showed so far through the games. Anyhow my main concern with them adapting this particular story is to put quite simply, that they ruined it already with all the of Jailer/Shadowlands retcons. A lot of the gravitas and darkness Arthasā arch had is simply gone since it was all preordained by mister super brain.
Do they attempt to personify the presence within the helm of domination differently? Do they shoehorn the Jailer in there? Maybe they completely omit that but in the back of my head I know the terrible Jailer story. Maybe others can ignore it and itās a me problemā¦
Otherwise, Iād rather they use these series in a limited fashion, to plug in gaps between expansions, or expand certain topics. For example imagine a series that really made us understood why the Primalists are a dangerous force that needs to be dealt with instead of a bunch of angry shamans/druids that quit team titan.
With the above in mind, they got to make sure that these kind of stories donāt end up replacing important content in game (the way it famously happen with the book before BfA that had this major event with the Forsaken and surviving human Lordaeronians)
A final thought to consider is that a series like that would also need to attract people that donāt currently play the game and donāt know much about it. With that argument in mind, it might be that they need cover major fundamental events (dark portal, 1st and 2nd war, etc)
