As I understand it, it's a question of when you set your game. Setting it in the time of the RTS games should be fine, but doing it during WoW time complicates things a bit.

I think other than the RTS, Vanilla WoW has the second strongest leaping off point for a table top setting. The rebuilt, reborn and fledgling nations of the world have just come back into moderate power, and each face threats within their realms.

The Forsaken have to deal with the zealous Scarlet Crusade, savage worgen plaguing their woods, and the Scourge battering at their walls and only getting stronger. The Ironforge dwarves have to deal with the guerrilla attacks of the Dark Iron dwarves, the emergence of the mysterious, brutish troggs, and the remnants of the Dragonmaw Clan.

Each nation has their own set of threats that could easily be elevated into a more dire threat, rather than low level mobs that you hack through in the beginning of your leveling.

What would be really neat is to have the final stand that they have be in a big final fuck you to the scrouge before they are torn down from their barricades. So something like they were part of a rear guard that had to hold the line to allow their brother and sisters to flee as they had lost an engagement from the Scourge and needed to regroup.

Heck with Tyr's hand and the surround lands there you could have the Players' be instrumental in the founding of that place as a scarlet holdfast.

That being said, what all are the Scarlet crusader's holdings? I know of the monastry, the chruch in Stratholme, and then the areas surrounding Tyr's hand. Is that it or are there more I'm missing?
>>
>>46201467
tyr's hand was a scarlet city.
Various parts of tirisfal glades were controlled by them.
>>
>>46201467
>>46201503
They used to own Hearthglen (Where Tirion's son dies to betrayal) and a few towers in Tirisfal Glades.

>>46201695
I miss when they were still loosely affiliated with the Alliance and had emissaries with them. It made the dynamic between human factions much more complex and interesting.
>>
>>46201743
Yeah there was that shade of dubious mortality with the Alliance since the crusaders I bet used the excuse of FUCKERS HELP US FIGHT OFF THE UNDEAD BATTERING AT OUR DOORS

While the Alliance stood there and said, "Why don't you move out?"

>>46201833
>why don't you move out of the scarlet monastery, perhaps one of the holiest shrines in the eastern kingdoms and leave the cities and villages in the eastern plaguelands that you have held on to, as well?

I liked hearing stories like the one about the Headless Horsemen where you see what the Scarlets were like outside of LUX VULT thing. They seemed really sympathetic about everything the guy was going through. They also seem to get an unnecessary blame for being xenophobic when they had statues of elves and dwarves they considered heroes. They were literally just Lordaeron without the crown.
>>
Alliance sucks dicks
>>
>>46202009
Ya, I enjoyed the vanilla version of the Crusade more than the wotlk version simply because while they were a minor faction they threw a cog into the scourges plans for the plaguelands. I really wished that blizz had made them have a rep attached to them much like the bloodsails where if you killed the argents you would gain their favor.
>>
>>46199863
>I think other than the RTS, Vanilla WoW has the second strongest leaping off point for a table top setting.
I think it might actually be a bit better, with how it expanded the world from the more tightly focused RTS setting.
>>46202329
The Scarlet Crusade is easily my favorite human faction in WoW. I kind of feel that they have everything that the current human depiction is lacking, which results in a sort of imbalance making humans feel bland and uninteresting. If they had a bit of Scarlet injected in them, I think that might fix a few things.

I agree that Vanilla WoW is probably the best to set a campaign in, unless speciffically doing one where the players are fighting in the third war. You have a lot more freedom to explore when it isn't all about fighting off the Scourge and the Legion, Horde and Alliance have solidified as proper factions (in WC3 Horde only really settles down on Kalimdor after the events of main campaign), and Blizz hadn't shaken the status quo a lot or messed up with the lore much at that point (Vanilla WoW is mostly pretty low key; the only major lore character that gets killed is Kel'thuzard, who'se "only" a lieutenant of the Lich King and being a lich, wasn't even truly killed anyway).

Maybe do some retcons, like not make Night Elves part of Alliance and Forsaken part of the Horde (neigther really made much sense in the lore and was pretty obviously made just so people could play as NElves and the Undead while keeping the "two factions" setup for gameplay reasons).
>>
>>46199863
Classic WoW is THE tabletop point in WoW lore. After all, that's pretty much what it was designed to be. That's the design paradigm MMOs followed back then

Naïvete is largely setting-dependent. One setting's grizzled realist is another setting's evil bastard, and one setting's blind fool is another setting's true hero. Stormwind's humans have an outlook that's somewhere between realistic and optimistic for the Warcraft universe, it's mostly just Anduin and Varian who take forgiveness to extreme levels.

That said, I did enjoy it whenever the Scarlets were portrayed in a halfway-sympathetic light, no pun intended.

I wish that instead of the Duskwood Mlitia turning evil in legion they finally get their reinforcements from Stormwind, but the REINFORCEMENTS are evil.

>it's mostly just Anduin and Varian who take forgiveness to extreme levels.
Which is kind of weird to me, as while I haven't really followed wow lore that closely after Cataclysm, back in Wrath at least Varian was essentially Alliance Garrosh (before Garros went full-retarded): agressive and warlike, and advocating direct military action against the opposing faction even when they were at the doorstep of a far greater common enemy.
What caused him to do a complete 180?
>>
>>46204391
The guard captain and her father the Mayor have the last name "EbonLocke," same as the boss from Green Fire.

So clearly they must be related and also evil despite the fact that it literally just means "Back Hair."

So they turned the whole Night's Watch (Including fucking Ladimore) against most of the town, and you kill them in the Assassination Rogue Artifact questchain. I guess you should call it the CHARACTER assassination Rogue now.
>>
>>46204391
The Assassination Rogue artifact quest reveals that the Night Watch has turned evil and are now Legion collaborators. They murder half the town and leave the other half cowering in their homes.
>>
>>46204476
Not a *Complete* 180, but he's relatively mellowed out, partly due to Anduin and partly because of Saurfang mourning his son in Icecrown.

Ok then during the time of Vanilla wow, what would be the best set up for this? I personally would want to start in Khaz Modan and work my way to the wetlands then Arathi then begins the FUN job of retaking Lorderon from teh Scourge bit by bit.

If I recall right, the main reason why the settlements in the Dwarf kingdoms have issue is due to the army being sent to all over the place to protect her allies and interest leaving the home front to be alone for the most part right?

So would something simple like needing to clear out a frost troll cave, gather meats for the spring thaw and maybe even doing something with clearing out a mine shaft filled with troggs be a good start?
>>

Yeah, no, you can't accidential attack a circle of tents filled with hunters. No shit it supplied soldiers, the barrens is the Hordes heartland.

>>

how about this, Don't follow a retarded orc who wants to whet his bloodlust and cry about the consequences.

The alliance directly allowed civilians to escape.
The horde captured fleeing civilians and impaled them.
That is the difference between the two factions.
>>
>>46204851
Some of the Alliance people did go rogue, there are quests to execute them.

And yes, simply leaving an avenue for escape without announcing it was sorta a bad move that led many civilians to defend themselves and buy time that they didn't actually need to buy.


>>46204922
They needed a second front to pull pressure off of Ashenvale and Stonetalon.

A fight Garrosh basically started.
>>
>>46204950
>>46204947

And Garrosh started the war because the Alliance-Horde peace summit basically turned into a "Blame Garrosh and the Orcs for a massacre the Twilight council actually did"

Garrosh did many things wrong, but the start of the Cataclysm was Garrosh defending the Horde from an aggresive Alliance through the good old tactic of trying to strike first.

Ashenvale was a war since forever because the Horde needed those resources, but the elves refused. They even refused to teach Tauren how to use wisps when the Tauren ASKED.

There is no good or bad side in this conflict, it was basically the Alliance and Horde at it's most dickish until eventually the Horde grew guilty while Garrosh became an egomaniac.
>>
>>46205008
No, the horde literally said - So what if orcs skinned those druids, we are not allowing you to investigate.

No, Garrosh refused to bow down to the Alliance who were already making assumptions. He was headstrong, and instead of actually trying to make Garrosh see reason, all of his advisors and trusted retainers just turned on him.

An attack he did eventually claim wasn't his (After quite a while IIRC) idea but openly praised anyway.

And apparently the Nightelves HAD been trading wisp lumber to the Horde (Though i always thought wisp "Lumber" was an abstraction of "Nature Energy" used to grow Ancients etc and being able to build non-Treant structures with it was just gameplay mechanics)

Cata was BAD writing, and I feel awful for the Horde players who had their faction's honor stained so badly, I'm not the kinda person who gets angry at the faction for Kosak's WC2 and Sylvanus boners.

If Jaina would have given warning and let the Civilian populace evacuate, sure.

I didn't actually see anything wrong with her idea of destroying Orgrimmar beside the fact that Orgrimmar is quite a bit more of a civilian target than Theramore, even when Garrosh makes it even more of a Military base.

How exactly do you do that then when the Tauren Trolls and Orcs culture right now is intermingled?

I don't think he ever held ALL of Deathwing's power, just enough of it to fool the locks on the pre-WotA Demon's soul.

(Funnily enough, the post-WotA Demon Soul's Anti-Deathwing measures were shown to block Shamanism as far back as Day of the Dragon when the Dark Shaman Zuluhed the Whacked couldn't use it. Well, SOME aspect of the Demon Soul blocked Shamanism/Dark Shamanism, it's totally clear post-cata that it was the Deathwing Lock placed on it at the end of WotA)

Garrosh gave a warning but had the civilian evacuees captured and tortured anyway. Or they got captured by the South Seas pirates and sold to the Horde who then tortured them.

>>46205268
It was a myth, but a very well executed one. It was shocking enough if you only saw half of the action that I actually quasi-RPed my overleveled horde character testing the quests and ganked the hell out of the alliance people in that battlefield suth of the camp, keeping the forsaken's hacksaw to dismember as many corpses as possible.

Go do the fucking quests on both sides, Taujario was a clusterfuck because the Alliance commander is an inept dumbass and the Tauren are a race who have learnt running only gets them killed.

Oh I agree completely, like I said above, Cata is both sides being cunts to each other.

A very well executed myth is still a myth once you read the story.

They didn't gave a lot of warning, Baine sent someone to inform Jaina of their attack, nothing more.
>>
>>46204816
Continuing this thought trail...
Probably make the players have to be stuck with certain races when they start out unless we go through with them being a bit higher level and working out of more contested areas like the wetlands.

Though for teh dwarven kingdom to start out with I could see you allowing players to play as humans, dwarves, gnomes and I think that would be it for the most part as that's all the Alliance would have wouldn't it?
>>
>>46205382
The ruins of Taujaro are filled with fucking looters.

Thats not a "few" soldiers.
>>
>>46205382
They did not, show me the text or I call you bullshiting.

Hawthorne said the attack was a complete success and the quest text says they broke from rank after the battle.

>>46205390
I did do the quest on both side and both side shows most civilian escaped.
Which is why you get a quest on horde side to help the civilian that escaped taujoro but got caught by quillboar or shit.

Like I said, show me the text or you are just another lying horde fanboy.
>>
>>46205118
The Horde isn't the Axis.
The Axis was completely ruined, fractured and fucked up. The conquered territories were just waiting for a possibility to split off, the economy was wrecked and even THEN you had decades of occupation.
I don't think the Alliance has the fucking ressources to occupy the Horde for that long.

>>46205296
The Horde IS military.
Tauren are huge-ass beasts made of muscle and horns.
Trolls are as quick as they are viscious and they can grow back their fucking limbs.
Any given Orc is still bigger and tougher than a human.
And on top of that, the land itself probably hates your guts thanks to their shamans.
Trying to occupy Durotar, the Barrens, Mulgore or the Echo Isles honestly sounds like a fucking nightmare.
>>
>>46205421
Looters, not killers.
You also forgot how the game cannot show the actual size of an army.

>>46205429

Keep the strawman up though man, I'm Alliance through and through.

>>46205455
The Village is still full of enough looters they drive off the Civilians.
>>
>>46205434
So you agree the Horde can be disbaned, just not as easily as AXIS was.

>>46205455
Actually, if you're arguing for Taujaro then you need to take into account earlier attacks actually forced the Tauren to wall up Mulgore, cutting off Taujaro from it's logical retreat point, causing the Tauren Civilians to be forced into more hostile territory.

In short, the Alliance mercilessly attacked the Tauren, Surrounded and cut off Taujaro and then felt a pang of guilt and let the Tauren run off into their deaths

The Alliance effectively caused the Tauren to commit suicide and tried to claim the moral high ground, when, in reality, Jaina was already on good grounds with the Tauren and could have avoided the entire thing with Diplomacy with Baine and could even have swayed the Tauren to aid the Alliance.

>>46205554
The wall was made AFTER Taurajo was destroyed to stop the alliance's advance. dumbass.
Go read Tides of War.
I am sick of tired of retards who don't read lore but think they know how the story went.

The alliance quest never said they attacked on "Rumours".
What Hawthorne said:

Ah yes, our assault on the Horde town of Taurajo. I struggled with the implications of the decision.
Taurajo was admittedly what you might call a 'soft target,' primarily a hunters' camp. Still, it had been used to recruit, equip, and train Horde infantry for many years.
When our scouts reported that Taurajo's most dangerous units were out on the hunt, we had to act quickly.

How many lies are you going to make fanboy?
Why don't you shut your dirty lying mouth and get out of the thread like the worthless cunt you are?

And you still can't give me where did it say lots of civilian died in Taurajo when there's so many refugee on the road.
Where is YOUR Proof you son of a bitch?
>>
>>46205580
The Horde just went through a Civil war and will be in a WORSE position than alliance.
The allies wasn't without their scraps when they defeat the axis you know.
>>
>>46205544
Azeroth couldn't go two years in the last two decades without some major shit going down. I don't think throwing the remainder of your forces after the MoP debacle was a good idea for the Alliance.

Personally, I'd fucking love it if the Alliance absorbed the Horde and my Blood Elf could finally talk to his human friends again.
>>
>>46205554
Here's Hawthorne's final lines in your chat with him:

Taurajo had a significant civilian population. I wanted to ensure that they could escape the fighting, and many did, finding refuge in the north.
There are some, even in Alliance High Command, who argued that I let an opportunity slip away. That I should've taken hostages. But I don't see the value in those sort of terror-tactics.
Hear me out, <name>: I want this war to end someday. It won't ever stop if we butcher or imprison civilians.
I just pray that there are those on the other side who see things as I do.

again, you have shown no proof except you never read the fucking Lore through out the thread, why do you even talk again?
>>
>>46205654
Russia literally drowned Germany in people.
The Alliance doesn't have the Gnomes for that kind of tactic. They have vastly superior numbers, yes, but they need them back home to not get their shit pushed in by all the other shit going on.

I'd bet Sylvannas would fucking love it if the Alliance transported a significant chunk of their forces to Kalimdor.

Unclear orders.
Convict prisoner soldiers.

Hawthorne was a general who was lead into a deathtrap.

Or did you forget the line "...What's this? A death warrant for the General here! This is good to know... Very good to know...".

And how the Ambassador says that General Hawthorne would have realiated with an attack if he survived the Assassination... when that is exactly what Hawthorne didn't want.

They weren't exactly at 100% of their strength themselves and LOOK at the History of Azeroth in the past 20 years. By now you have to assume some stupid shit is going to happen within two years.

>Why would Alliance transport a siginifigant chunk of their force to Just kalimdor
Because you need the forces to occupy the Tauren, Orcs and Trolls. THEY are the core of the Horde. Trying to occupy and conquer Lordaeron isn't going to net you shit, other than a long war with lots of soldiers dying to disease and plagues. And it sure as shit isn't going to get you far in disbanding the Horde.
At best you are going to break the Undead and Elves off. That's not going to scratch any Tauren's arse, because the matters in Azeroth shouldn't really be the concern of the Horde in the first place.

This is the text of the quest:

> Our policy of conscripting non-violent criminals from the Stormwind Stockades has come back to haunt us, <name>. Some of my less-scrupulous soldiers broke ranks after our victory in Taurajo and are looting the remains of the city.
> This is a breakdown in discipline. Worse, the desecration of their homes only spurs the enemy to fight harder when our ultimate goal should be peace.
> Take these manacles and bring the Taurajo looters to justice. Speak to them first, but you may need force to subdue them.

Where did it say the convicts slaughtered civilian again?
Actually it says the exact opposite because they moved in "AFTER" Taurajo was destroyed.

The Ambassador wants Hawthorne dead precisely because he was a nice guy who refuse to cause Horde civilian casualty.
Yes the High command don't like Hawthorne as I posted, and that's why massacre in Taurajo never happened and what you were spuring is a bunch of bullshit

Except it didn't and they didn't have to put all that force back home.
Why are you keep making stuff up?

No they don't, Tauren and Trolls are fine to let them govern themselves. All the Alliance needed was to occupy Orgimmar and break Orc's presence in Horde.
Without the Orcs Horde will fall apart into multiple factions, which is all alliance needed.
They are DISBANDING Horde, not destroy horde, learn the difference.

They are NOT destorying the horde, is it that hard to understand?
They only needed enough force to keep durotar Governed.

I was top 10 in WC3 ranked, thank you for asking.

And how does WC3 help explain how to keep Horde intact again?
Without Orc and the rlarge force forsaken and Bloodelves would have no reason to stay in the Horde.
After they broke apart is far easier to deal with.
Do you even know politics?
>>
>>46206088
The Orc made up the majority of Horde's force and Thrall's friendship with Tauren and Troll is what puted them in Horde in the first place, while BE and Forsaken joined for the Forces Horde supported.

Without the Orcs these elements will be gone and Horde had no reason to stay together.
Horde was pretty much made entirely from Thrall's personal charm and the Force he commanded.
>>
>>46206129
They chose to stand and fight, defending their home as warriors, and died valiantly.

It was funny back in cata how some Horde player used boasted that every Horde member can fight but bitch about civilian death when they fought and died.
>>
>>46206133
He's saying that the Darkspear and Tauren needed swarms of Orcs to run interference against the Centaur, Harpies, and Quilboar.

But that was BEFORE they Made Mulgore Great Again by building the wall and the Centaur and hopefully some harpies seem to be getting a bit less aggressive towards fellow azerothians, and the Quilboar may become sane again when Agamaggan finally pulls off a Cenarius/ Lo'Gash/Malorne.

>>46206203
>They chose to stand and fight, defending their home as warriors, and died valiantly.
And partly to buy time for an evacuation that didn't need time bought for it because the commander didn't plan to chase down and kill evacuees anyway.
>>
>>46206133
>They are NOT destorying the horde, is it that hard to understand?
You do know that you still need forces to conquer and hold the Orcs if you want to "remove them" from the Horde?
>>
>>46206133
>And how does WC3 help explain how to keep Horde intact again?
It explains the loyalty the Tauren and Darkspear harbor towards the Orcs.
Yeah, Elves and Undead might fuck right off if you cut them off from Kalimdor.
Tauren and Darkspear will likely stand with the Orcs.
>>
>>46205815
That's a shame. I kind of prefer how their spawned races revere them and the specifics of their faith, like how the Sha corruption disgusted the Klaxxi even when they still worshiped Y'Shaarj wholeheartedly. The Aqir insectoids don't really seem to be corrupted or insane when compared to other Old God worshipers, probably because they're already fully compatible with them and a part of the system. To the Mantid "Chaos is order unrecognized by a lesser mind!"

After Chronicles, I kind of think of them as alien anti-life terraforming units. Their corruption is more like assimilation, remaking the world and all the life on it in their own image in body, mind, and soul. Madness seems to only be for those who are not entirely assimilated or weren't born to it, which makes sense since the change should render them unstable.
>>
>>46206242
So... what was his point? that the Tauren and Troll still needed to Orc to protect them?
Don't think they did else SoO would never happened.

That was the flight masters' plan, but the others apparently were just being confused.
>>
>>46206315
was getting caught part of his plan?
>>
>>46206283
No you just need to break the Orcs as a steady power in The Horde, we are not talking about genocide or stuff like that, just destroying Orc's power structure.
Which is significantly easier since we are not talking about another war.

>>46206308
Yes and that is exactly why you have to remove Orc from Horde's power structure.

Yes, and that's all the alliance needed anyway.
We are just DISBANDING the horde, not killing them, remember?
As long as the Horde does not stand as they are now its a win.
>>
>>46206371
>No you just need to break the Orcs as a steady power in The Horde
How do you intend to do that without, well, another war?

>Yes and that is exactly why you have to remove Orc from Horde's power structure.
The Tauren and Darkspear aren't just going to stand by and do nothing, they are going to help the Orcs push back.
>>
>>46206365
getting caught?
The flightmaster died, you can free his spirit in a horde quest
>>
>>46206415
Negotiation, since Garrosh was by then settled as the cause of the War and BBEG you can definitely use it as a excuse to make Horde reduce Orc power presence in the Horde.
You even have the moral high ground

We are not talking about Killing orc or destory their lively hood. why do you always links "disbanding" with "attacking" anyway?
You can totally make a statement that even they have to agree on.
>>
>>46206417
so his spirit was captured.
Was getting his spirit caught part of his plan?
>>
>>46206470
I don't think asking the Orcs to pull out of the Horde is going to work.
I mean, what terms are you offering them for abandoning their friends and allies? The people that stood with them when they came to Kalimdor and through all the crazy shit that happened since Vanilla?
>>
>>46206492
Its not their spirit is caught, its that their spirit lingures without realizing they died.

The flightmaster did simply remark he need to go once u freed his spirit, so I guess he did plan to die.

I said break their power structure, not booting them out.

You could make the argument for the Horde to be a council-governed faction, removing the warchief position.
Then instate more other race than Orcs.

Open the Troll and Tauren to invite Orcs to join them and live with them, but not for Orcs to stand as a huge military threat as before.
You can even make a few more ridiculous offers then retract them when objected to show you are "open to suggestion".

The goal is to remove forsaken and Blood elves from the horde while reducing Orc's influence.
Its about diplomacy skills.

If I had to guess, Sylvanas got the title strictly due to seniority in the Horde. Consider that the other remaining leaders of the Horde (Baine, Lor'thermar and Gallywix) haven't been around as long.

That's my opinion as to why Sylvanas got the title.

The problem with being Warchief is that wanting the job means you're probably not going to be good at it.

Garrosh was a decent military leader, albeit kind of an asshole, in Northrend. He was good where he was, didn't want to be Warchief.

Then he got made Warchief and decides he's the best fucking leader on the planet, turns into a colossal god damn bastard that wants to burn the world. Like someone flipped a switch and he went full murderhobo.

So yeah. Saurfang and Lor'themar would be great Warchiefs, because 1. They aren't emotional fuckwits that swing between depression and mania, and 2. They don't want the position, so the power hopefully won't go to their heads.

...Or you could give the job to Sylvanas. Who wants power, all the power, and has shown a willingness to abuse it. That's... an idea. Not a good one, but it's an idea.

Can we go to an alternate reality and swap our Sylvanas for vanilla-Sylvanas? I think it would be for the best.

For us. Fuck that other reality, I just want the Forsaken to be led by someone vaguely sympathetic.

So what's the story behind Sylvanas' dreadlord?
>>
>>46205815
I don't really understand how this misinformation keeps spreading if you actually read it. They're not just regular monsters. They're still unknowable to mortals, and still have motives to destroy the world. That hasn't changed. Their creations still revere them, and only them. Nothing has changed except why they're doing it, which is that they were just kind of all splooged out into the world from the Void to go out and corrupt a Worldsoul.

Varimathras was a dreadlord in service to the Burning Legion. After the Forsaken realized their independence from the Scourge, Sylvanas and her kin beat the fuck out of Varimathras's forces. She basically pressgangs the dreadlord into her service in exchange for his life, making him swear allegience to the Dark Lady. Surprise, surprise, he was never really under her control and spent years plotting behind her back. It all came to a head with the Wrathgate incident and the Siege of Undercity, where Varimathras uses Royal Apothecary Putress and a major chunk of the Forsaken to fuck over everyone and try to summon his "master." Fortunately, Thrall, Sylvanas and the PC beat the fuck out of him, and he's never seen again.

Proof positive that you never, ever, ever take a dreadlord at his word. Their greatest trait is that they are professional liars.

Maybe the trolls and orcs are, with the trolls lacking an actual city of their own for years, but the tauren's culture is vastly different from the rest of the horde. The horde is closer to the forsaken view of a collaboration of outcast nations banding together so as not to be destroyed by the much more unified alliance. Even without the night-elves or draenei the alliance would wreck all of the individual nations of the horde.

How old is the steamwheedle cartel? In warcraft 3 Medivh tells everyone to sail to THE FORGOTTEN LANDS OF KALIMDOR, but we have places like everlook and gadgetzan in WoW. Have the goblins (and maybe by extension, the pirates) known about kalimdor for a lot longer? How about The Venture Company? One could imagine all of central/southern kalimdor to be a sort of wild west of goblin entrepeneurship - as long as you keep away from the night elves

and if thats the cae, someone in the eastern kingdoms must've heard of kalimdor before jaine and thrall went there

The Alliance is the evil faction, for a change. End raid has the Horde and Alliance rebels laying siege to Stormwind to wipe out Nazi humans.

Goblins as a race are incredibly young. At least them being intelligent is a fairly new occurrence.

Just checked the chronicle and they became intelligent enough through Kaja'mite to overthrow their Troll overlords a scant 100 years before the dark portal opened, which means that Undermine and the cartels is an even more recent occurrence.

Keep in mind that Kezan is much closer to Kalimdor than it is to the eastern kingdoms, and as far as we know Goblins were the first ones to have long distance air travel. So it makes sense for them to have more of the world explored than the races of the eastern Kingdoms.


Of course if anybody had asked a High Elf about an Eastern continent they'd have been able to name Kalimdor in a snap.

Major Horde-Alliance war. Both sides aggressively assholes about it. Jaina means Blood Elves are kill. Orcs mean Ashenvale is kill. Forsaken forces drive for Stormwind. Zones are Gilneas, Kul Tiras, and phased Wetlands (War Zone), Ashenvale (ALL ON FIRE), and Eversong (reminiscent of Bone Wastes in Terokkar).

Punch Sylvanas because LUX VULT. Aside from that, let it be a breather expansion where instead of a world-ending threat, the PCs get to embark on a golden age of exploration across Azeroth and under its oceans. Circumnavigate the planet, explore the southern oceans, and discover more new lands and civilizations. Make Admiral Taylor proud.

And for fuck's sake, let us dick around in a proper Azjol-Nerub zone already.

Titans versus Old Gods (Most of which are no longer kill. Can't keep those things down for good). Legit choice of side: Titans offer purification for their chosen few and a place in New Azeroth. Old Gods offer a life with free will mostly like you've been enjoying until now. Horde and Alliance break down in favor of patron factions. Old Gods centered in Ny'alotha, Titans in Uld(somethingorother), questing zones neutral turf where each side wants objectives. Raids on neutrals too powerful to let fuck off like former faction leaders and dragon aspects.
