The game follows your character on his or her path to become [[The Hero]] of a legend. After saving a dragon from a princess (Yes), he or she moves to Swordhaven, in hope of getting their reward. Instead, they found a burning city filled with undead and a giant, flying dracolich hovering just above the King's medieval castle. As he/she journeys inside it, they now start watching the overwhelming number of undead try to destroy the city, while the paladin Artix -- ([[Author Avatar|yes, that one]]) -- tries fighting them all in vain. [[The Hero]] goes to the throne-room to 'help the King', but instead they get to watch the legendary battle of Good vs Evil unfold: King Alteon, king of Swordhaven and ''all of his Pactagonal Knights'' versus Sepulchure, lord of the legendary ShadowScythe and proclaimed '''Master of the Undead'''. The two arch-enemies fight a fierce battle, with neither gaining advantage over the other. As they proceed to unleash their most powerful techniques... Something ''unexpected'' happens.

* [[Awesome Moment of Crowning]]: {{spoiler|In the most unlike events ever, Gravelyn gives Chuckles--yes THAT Chuckles--a promotion by swapping his skull with Noxus's!}}

* [[Ax Crazy]]: The second part of the Giant storyline gives your character a bout of the crazy with his or her somewhat horrific suggestions for how to handle the giant problem. See the [[What the Hell, Hero?]] entry for details.

** {{spoiler|Sepulchure came back in Doomwood II, but was [[Killed Off for Real]] when he sacrificed himself to save Gravelyn from being killed by Drakath.}}

* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]: {{spoiler|Sek-Duat kills off Zhoom and the player by blasting them off the cliff and causes the rocks above them to cave in on them just in case they were to miraculously crawl up to stop him from claiming the Djinn's lamp... [[Subverted Trope|only to be revealed that Zhoom had slipped in the Dreamsand on Sek-Duat earlier on, causing him to think he had won.]] }}

* [[Eye Scream]]: Constantine does this to the previous Werewolf King, plucking his eyes out with his claws.

* [[Fan Disservice]]: In Chopping Maul, you really need not see two skeletons posing in lingerie displayed outside Mortisha's Secret...

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: The theme for the Bloodtusk Ravine storyline, [[Culture Clash|between]] the [[Cultural Posturing|cultured trolls]] and the [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|proud Horc warriors]].

* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: {{spoiler|Noxus was replaced by Chuckles as a lich, and Gravelyn plans to give him to Cysero to become a new weapon for her.}}

** {{spoiler|Krellonos is killed by Khassandra and stole his power}}

** {{spoiler|Averted with Tibicenas and Saahir since Tibicenas states that djinn cannot be killed and will return in a few thousand years}}.

* [[The Kingdom]]: The Kingdom of Swordhaven

* [[Klingon Promotion]]: A new Werewolf King is crowned when someone challenges and kills the current Werewolf King in ritual combat.

* [[Status Buff]]: The Bard class is mostly for increasing/decreasing stats.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: In AQW, gender is specific and there's only about two or three classes in the entire game that cover the entire body from neck to foot on a girl.

** Although later released armours tend to cover the players neck to toes for both genders<ref>Some to the point that the player appears androgynous at first glance.</ref>, while some skin-revealing armors apply to men as well.

* [[Stupid Evil]]: Sleezter Bunny.

* [[Sukhomlinov Effect]]: The werwolves victory over the vampires since the vampires are the side with the fancy uniform while the werwolves are not

* [[Super Speed]]: Kitsune uses this.

* [[Truly Single Parent]]: {{spoiler|Drakath is said to use Chaos Magic to create Chaos Lord Ledgermayne when he states that his chaos magic unexpectedly give the Chaos Lord life}}.

* [[Theme Naming]]: The Cauldron sisters are named after the famous line of the Witches in ''Macbeth'' (Double Double, toil and trouble. Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble)

* [[Take That]]: On one of ''AQWorlds'' latest banners they give a very thinly veiled pun to those obnoxious ''[[Evony]]'' ads.

** In the recently-finished Werewolf/Vampire War in Darkovia, the main boss fight is [[Twilight (novel)|a sparkly vampire that goes by the name of Edvard]], whose girlfriend Beulah dumped him for a werewolf. For the first day or so, [[Anticlimax Boss|he was the weakest boss in the whole game, with only 900 hit points and very little in the way of damage]].

*** Don't forget the Evil Dread part of the August 2010 Friday the 13th Event. In order to stop Beleen's pink monsters, they have to say the fail-safe words from the movie ''The Day the Earth Stood Still'', the Hero and Artix make jabs on the fact that the remake didn't state the infamous words--[[Klaatu Barada Nikto|you know the words]]--any time during the film.

* [[Tears of Blood]]: {{spoiler|Actually, in this case, Tears of Lava. FEAR, the big boss of the Fear Chaser event, has these}}.

* [[Tomato Surprise]]: {{spoiler|Artix, Champion of Darkness.}}

** {{spoiler|Gravelyn, Champion of Light.}}

** Well he is powerful in the original ''[[Adventure Quest]]'' as well.

** Artix counts also. {{spoiler|Known to be a paladin in many a game, in this one he's the Champion of Darkness who cannot use light-based magic, but the spirit-orb based power of an Undead Slayer.}}

** {{spoiler|Vordred gets even worse in Doomwood Part 2 than in Part 1 as Sally is rebuilding him with Chaos magic provided to her by Drakath, and becomes only capable of saying two words: "MORE SKULLS!" And things get even crazier when the fully-completed Chaos Vordred is introduced}}.

** {{spoiler|1=The DoomBlade gets this when Sepulchure finally refuses to kill his own daughter after pummeling her so much, and again when Gravelyn purifies it into the Blade of Destiny}}.

** There's also the {{spoiler|the crossdresser armors obtainable from the twins in tercessuinotlim}}.

* [[Villainous Rescue]]: {{spoiler|Drakath when saving The Hero from Nessie unnoticed.}}

* [[White Mage]]: Healer Class.

* [[Whole Costume Reference]]: Gravelyn's Slave Bikini

* [[Wings Do Nothing]]: You character's wings are just for astetics; even if you're falling off the side of a castle with great angelic wings, you're still going to cannon-ball into the [[Soft Water|moat]] below.

* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Anyone afflicted with Chaos.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Players are capable of changing their hair color, and they can even change it to green, blue, purple, or even white.

** Captain Stratos of the Skyguards has Blue Hair.

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: {{spoiler|Zahart has Tibicenas do this with one of his servants after they have uncovered the red diamond used to awaken the Chaos Sphinx}}.

** Drakath would often choose the next Chaos Lord to replace the current one after the current one has served his purpose well in summoning his/her/its Chaos Beast.
