So... Varian got a beautiful memorial park in Stormwind

[Draenox]

Varian got a park, Vol'jin got an extra cinematic.

[Adoxe]

You can actually summon Vol'jin's memorial everywhere by going into your professions tab and using "Cooking Fire" ability.

Jokes aside, there's no reason to make a memorial for someone who's going to come back. (Loa Spirit)

[Raelbo]

I logged over to my Darkspear to check out Vol'jin's memorial in Orgrimmar, and found... nothing. Why was I not surprised? What do you suppose Blizz's reasoning was?

The horde is too busy fighting the demon invasion to worry about wasting time on a memorial.

[Averrix]

vol'jin killed the demon that stabbed him, varian is a pile of feldust with out even scratching gul'dan

Oh yes, he killed a tiny little fel guard, while Varian took down a humongous fel reaver and then a bunch of fel guards.

[Flurryfang]

It is very human to want huge memorials for their leaders. The horde does not do stuff like that. The only one to get a memorial was Grom, the orc who gave life for freedom, and his memorial was not very big.

Vol'jins troll background would not see a memorial as an honor.

[Grenzstein]

Meanwhile PPl of westfall still homeless and hungry.

Nah, the homeless and hungry are now legion fodder.
Thanks Sargeras!

[docterfreeze]

Vol'Who? He was a nobody and got a nobody's death.

[Mjolnir84]

I'm going with E) None of the above.

It's because their cultures and traditions surrounding death are different. Humans build statues and memorials: Varian's memorial, the Valley of Heroes, Varian's other statue in front of Stormwind Castle, Lothar's statue in Burning Steppes, etc.

The Horde does things differently, it's a much more overall tribal feel. To honor or remember someone, they name towns/outposts and or regions after them (as in the case of Orgrimmar, Thrallmar, Vol'jin's Pride, Bladefist Bay, etc), or compose songs about them. They don't build statues or memorials.

Vol'Jin got rekt while talking. lul

Sargeras, the unsung hero of Sentinent Hill!

[Al Gorefiend]

If you listen to the players: Blizz likes alliance more, nobody cares about Vol'Jin.

If you listen to lore and reality: Trolls do not honor their dead that way. The Horde as a whole do not honor their dead that way. Where's Cairne's monument? Where is Grom's monument? Orgrim's? The Horde believes in honoring their dead through ritual and spirituality, not fancy stone monuments. Trolls burn the deceased bodies so they cannot be tampered with so the spirit lives a restful life. Vol'Jin will probably return a couple times as a spirit, if not in lore at least during Lunar Festival.

That, and the park has been a requested fix by the players for a looooong time and this gave Blizz the opportunity to do so.

[Caerule]

Let's face it. Varian's memorial is there because the players demanded the park ruins be replaced with something. Had that not been the case, the Alliance wouldn't have had monuments either. Possibly a plague added to Varian's statue, that's all.

[TickTickTick]

There are people who come back when the expansion goes lives, not a few weeks prior.

By your logic we shouldnt talk about WoD either cause there are people who will come back after 2 years break when Legion launches. Delusional.

The events are live for 2 weeks already. Noone gives a shit if you played it already or not - its not a spoiler, and definitely its not in our business not to spoil yourself.
Gosh, who would have known there are still those people who complain about spoiling something that's been LIVE for two weeks already. Unbelievable.

Here we go again, people like you are way this game has turned into what it has. Everything has to be equal, nobody is special. Lets just get rid of races and classes while we're at it.

[Shibito]

Ally get monument, Horde get toys from prepatch. Still think horde side is unfair...?

Toys is more important 300 toys achievement! What toy do we get from prepatch?

Just more examples of Alliance favoritism in this case. Blizz chose to give Varian an epic death while Vol'jin... well he was out there fighting, side-by-side with Thrall, but it certainly wasn't as epic. But that was a Blizz choice. Not like Varian and Vol'jin were real people. Both did whatever Blizz wrote them to do.

Haha Alliance might think that but our new warchief is so hated by these alliance turds thats its fun.

And yet, the last two expansions have all been surrounding the horde.

MoP - An exploration resulting in the release of an old god, but, ended up with a raid instance at ogrimmar after a culmination of a horde rebellion storyline.
WoD - Spent entire expansion fighting an Iron Horde, Nagrand cut-scene showing stand-off between horde characters.
Legion - First cut scenes show an alliance led assault, horde players complaining that their boss didn't get an epic ending despite him doing nothing for his faction since being made war chief

Short answer, no one cares about Voljin, Thrall is an idiot, Horde have had favoritism that last 2 expansions.

[Imnick]

Trolls simply make less of a big deal over these things.

[Krille]

And then people complain about homogenization....

Lol, this. You guys are such hypocrites. Everyone should be the same until everything is the same. Then it's "lazy writing/design". Get a fucking grip.

Also he's not completely dead.... Yet... He's gon get ressd mon.

[Rend Blackhand]

There was a fancy Troll urn datamined a while ago but I dont think it was ever given a location.

I don't care really, Vol'Jin sucked and should never have been Warchief in the first place.

[Amaterasu65]

Varian got a park, Vol'jin got an extra cinematic.

By that logic, 60-70% of the broken shore HORDE cinematic is focused on Varian. One small scene with Sylvanas+Vol'jin+Valkyries and one extra small scene with Sylvanas on her ship. So?
