I hate Blizzard...

[A Black Falcon]

Indeed... Reading about the new game, at least I am focusing entirely on what Blizzard is posting on their own site, makes it very interesting.

Just read the scanned article, it's got a lot of interesting information...


I mean... the Blood Elves. They're now on the Horde... but given the events of TFT and before, shouldn't they be ... quite unfriendly ... with the Orcs and Trolls? Forsaken I can see, but the others? Of course, Alliance makes even less sense, so they've got to be Horde because of this silly "there can only be two factions" thing... really, there should be a more dynamic thing where each faction has its alliances and enemies, not a hard "there are only two sides" lineup which just doesn't work in the Warcraft world.

Oh, and I was having a hard time remembering some of the details... TFT that is. Illidan was evil, and working for the Burning Legion, right? And the Blood Elves and Naga and some Undead and others were working with Illidan... I think... but then Illidan lost, and the Blood Elves went off, but they didn't, because here they are still in Quel'Thalas... allied with the Forsaken? Okay, since the Forsaken leader is an ex-High Elf Banshee that makes some sense... but I forget the specifics of TFT and what I remember says 'hmm I'm not sure if this quite makes sense' (I mean, weren't the High Elves working for the Burning Legion in an effort to get magic from any source, even demonic? So why exactly are they now allied with the Orcs, who were part of the alliance that destroyed the demons and have now rejected their demonic heritage... Or am I wrong...)... like with WoW itsself, it had some issues (the two factions, the sides can't talk to eachother, so they're more like enemies now while WCIII lessened that in places (another problem, there aren't just "Humans", there are several, sometimes unfriendly, human nations... this is still true, even with the destruction of Lordaeron...). I'd say it just shows how hard it is to adapt a story for a game like this. They're trying, but it stretches credibility on some issues...

Anyway... other stuff... Outland. Chunk of Draenor in the Twisting Nether, new continent to go to... okay... but what about the people that were on it? So Khadgar's still alive? Interesting... but how about the rest of the Alliance army, or the numerous Orcs who lived on that part of Draenor? We don't know the details yet...
