Mages get represented? How? By showing the end result of a frost nova spell (never showed the cast) and then leave you hanging just as he was about to do something cool? Meh.
The intro says "The Horde and Alliance are going to war." Not sure how that's not mentioning that aspect of the game. It also shows a Tauren fighting a Dwarf, a Night Elf fighting an Orc, and a Human fighting an Undead. The ENTIRE INTRO was about Alliance versus Horde!!

Maybe you gotta like the game a lot to enjoy the intro. It was extremely epic and basically gave me a boner.

The mage was fighting a 20 feet tall summoned Infernal by himself throwing fireballs towards it on top of a mountain, then used frost nova and started to cast blizzard. I think that's pretty damn cool.

I don't see how anyone could not love that intro. It captured the feel of WoW perfectly.
