ive been reading a few sections of the timeline and lore on the WoW offical site, that combined with the events ive known about myself for compleateing all of the previous games.. i have a few questions and a few things to tell you that you might not know
for anyone who hasnt compleated any of the games, particulary Warcraft 3 and the frozen throne expansion, there are spoilers in this post, so read on at your own choice.
first up, so far i havent seen hide nor hair of the highborne blood elves and the naga, let alone their ally illiden stormrage, the demon hunter hero from warcraft 3.
id also liek to tell those who are reading, who dont know.. illiden is not dead.
in the end of the frozen throne it showed arathas and illiden going 1on1 at eachother, and it looked as if illiden was killed, well.. he wasnt, as far as the new blizz lore goes he was defeted and not killed.
im kinda wondering if they will show up later in this game, or wether or not they might appear in later expansions.. perhaps even as playable charicters,
personaly id love to play either a goblin, a blood elf (particulay a warlock), a naga and especally a pandarian (warrior with a staff all the way ^_^) in the frame of new charicter races that may or may not appear in the future.
but as far as lore is concearned.. they have vanished, the pandarians are only mentiond in the roleplaying books, and the blood elves and naga just seemed to have dissapeard.
the top and bottom landmasses on the map i notice are not explorable areas yet, which means we will be able to explore the lich kings strongholds to the north and the homelands of the steamwheel cartel and the goblin trade princes to the south.
im hopeing they bring a third faction or make a few new races that you can choose which faction you side with.
what ever may or may not happen i think we are in for some cool surprises in WoW and future expansions. ^_^
anyone got any personal theorys about what blizz may do? or what you'd like to see em do?
