Nope. Varian dies and Anduin is his successor. Nobody is really happy about this since Varian was like one of 3 decent characters in the alliance and horde combined, and Anduin is moral to a fault. I've been avoiding legion spoilers for the most part, but knowing blizzards track record, I'd assume Genn will remain irrelevant for at least a little while.

>>336686668
Being fair, the only lyrics race that being a paladin is a stretch for is the Tauren. And following the lore, if you can be a priest you can be a paladin too. It's not like they have some kind of special connection to the light that no one else does, paladins have just a more prominent role than priests and have have had significantly more representation.

They were the iconic human class and, like all followers of the light, never appeared outside of humans and certainly not the alliance.

Specifically paladins were always shown to be part of a specific in universe order as well. They were a specific thing, it wasn't just anyone running around in armour who could heal.

Paladins being priests in armour is a WoW thing, they were practically jedi in WC3 literally down to the entire plot of the human campaign
>>
>>336687162
What specifically stated that only human and dwarves could do it other than them being the only races that did do it? Paladins are literally just priests that know how to fight. Anone that can use the light can in theory become a paladin.

In current lore, all that you need to be a Paladin is faith. If you believe hard enough that you can command the light, you can do it. It doesn't matter if you are using it for good or if you are killing children. The only thing the light cares about is unwavering faith.

This is wht Tauren can be paladins. lore wise, they are sun druids, but it is their faith in their chosen god that allows them to command the light. If you gave a big dumb ogre a rock and told him he had power of the light while he held it. If he truly, TRULY believed he had that power- he would indeed have it.

>>
>>336687657
There are three main RP servers.

Moonguard: They try to downplay that they're the official ERP server and get furious when you point it out. But it's exactly because of the ERPers that their server is the largest of the three and one of the biggest overall in the game at the moment. Tends to be Alliance-heavy.

Wymrest Accord: Their whole tagline is "At least we're not Moonguard." Slightly less people, but they tend to be a bit lighter on the RP there too. Everyone in the Horde is either a Forsaken edgelord, an Orc clan or most commonly, a Blood Elf noble house. Tends to be Horde-heavy.

Emerald Dream: It's an RP-PvP server. The PvP takes priority and it's the last real bastion of WPvP in the entire game. The server has a strong RP crowd though so if you're looking for it, you'll find it in abundance. If you're just there for the PvP, it's easily avoidable.

Then you meet you from the future who tells you that they're going to be paladins and hunters with rifles.

Because non-specific and arbitrary restrictions are good? There was literally nothing about the light that was specific to humans. They didn't fucking invent it. The light is a universal essence, it's not just some religion.

It's cringey as fuck. I played on Shadow Council from classic until Cata, watched the server go from awesome to dead RP wise, now it's just a shitty PvE server.

Went to Wyrmrest Accord--it's garbage. The "RP" consists of everyone standing around the Cathedral or the Mage Quarter. That's it.

I've heard Moon Guard might be the last place for halfway decent RP on WoW but good luck with that.

Bleeding Hollow isn't a WPvP server. It's a PvP server with a small handful of mega guilds that routinely sit on one another's capital cities to fuck with lowbies.

Emerald Dream schedules RP-PvP events in old world locales. You could spend hours fighting over the Silverwing Refuge with a 15v15, or have a 5v5 fighting for dominance over the ruins of Ahn Qiraj. WPvP isn't and shouldn't be a lagfest of 50+ people sitting in the opposing faction's throne room.

Because Thrall pushed for it. Grom represented everything you shouldn't do as an Orc. Modern WoW tries to paint it as though Grom made a noble sacrifice to free the Orcs from their Pit Lord. But really, even his dying words were "I freed myself".

I'd look to Saurfang, Broxxigar or early Garrosh for what a Orc should be

You're a bullshitting fuccboi and you know it. ED "WPvP" consists of either a handful of cuck guilds jumping lone members of rival guilds only to run before resistance shows up, or Warsong Batallion bringing two or more full raids to Stormwind or Stormshield with zero Alliance resistance. At least on BH you've got a handful of guilds on Horde like No Mercy, IWC, and WSC getting their shit pushed in by The Enclave.

Blizzard shot any sensible Warcraft lore in the foot early on by making the Burning Legion the big baddies and the instigators of the whole orcs vs humans conflict, which means that any further open conflict between horde and alliance is stupid and a step back in story development since it would only play into the legion's hands (and both factions know that in-universe). Any real war could only be realized by characters behaving erratically idiotic, and since the larger "common enemy" threat is still looming, Blizz just can write in a quick truce whenever they want - both aspects making for pretty shitty story-telling.

The political situation in vanilla was actually pretty interesting and had potential - an uneasy peace underscored by a cold war with clandestine operations and proxy wars (notice how the original battlegrounds didn't have alliance vs horde, but nominally independent sub-factions that were in open conflict). Of course, Blizz can't write for shit and that potentially interesting story direction was quickly abandoned in favor of what basically amounts to a pathetic on-again-off-again relationship, depending on whatever they want to shoehorn into the next expansion/content patch.

They can't be because they're not.
Humans do not have a history of druidism.
Therefore humans can't be druids.
Technically a human could be, but generally they're not. It makes the setting more immersive when there aren't thousands of night elf paladins and human druids running around since there was a total absence of them previously.

>WSB

It's a guild populated with baddy shitters that are a standing joke on the server. People make games of seeing how many Warsong Battalion fags they can 1vX until they call in the whole guild. As a result, WSB players hide in their garrisons all day because they get insta-gibbed in the world unless they're rolling with the whole thousand man guild.

And the Enclave? How long has it been since you've played? They're dead mang. As far as the Horde guilds, ALL they do is the same shit that the Enclave used to. Raid enemy capitals and sit on them. I was with IWC for a year and a half and it got so damn boring. "Hey guys, we're going to raid Darnassus again tonight!"

No, organized WPvP isn't what you think it is. The fact that you haven't hung around ED long enough to understand that SSxTM style fights exist constantly, both by happenstance and by being preplanned (seriously, check the forums, they plan them constantly) tells me you don't know what you're talking about.

This. Emerald dream is the shit. Alliance has more rp from back when I played. Lots of small and medium sized guilds with specific racial and surfaction requirements. Horde had more pvp powerhouse guilds that weren't really RPers, and smaller RP guilds.

But it was fun because if you went to a night elf area, it would be protected by two dozen night elves. The arathi Highlands were guarded by the remnants of arathor, the undead areas were overlooked by an undead guild. There were massive dwarf and gnome guilds that worked together. The world really felt alive because players were actively role playing in their own areas as well as planning attacks on other RP guilds.

Storm wind was where all the special snowflakes and erpers were. Everyone was a bisexual demon hunter ninja from the Uchiha clan. Basically a mini moonguard but they were in the minority and everyone despises them.

Arthas willingly sacrificed his soul, and as far as he knew, the life of Muradin for personal gain.

You, but the extent that Arthas went to was co.pletely unnecessary. Literally killing the innocent and burning his own boats, which, given how harsh the environment was in Northrend would lead to more deaths of his own people, is all a bit much given how it was all done without consent.
