That wasn't early at all. It was late, like HFC PTR late. 6 June 2015, to be precise.
What I'm curious about is...what would happen if there was a reality years behind our own, one where Archimonde had yet to be corrupted? What would happen if Archimonde walked through a portal into the Twisting Nether years after he had 'transcended realities'? What of Illidan? He is linked to the Nether in the same way that demons are, how can he exist in the past during the Well of Eternity instance?
I Like to think of it like this, when we went into wod, we didnt actually go back in time. We created this stand alone bubble of Dreanor from the past inside of our reality. We know that this is some what true because it is not an exact copy from the past, it has alot of differences. So the Velen that was there existed there and died there because he was part of the created bubble. The Legion that we were fighting was really the Legion from our timeline and they kind of followed us there and saw the opportunity to take it and cease our world. This helps me cope. Id draw a picture to better explain but i think the bubble concept pretty much captures my thinking.

Illidan wasn't a demon until WC3. Also, the Nether doesn't transcend time. They still experience linear time within the Nether just like the regular universes (just that some places within the Nether the flow of time gets weird).

That sounds like even more of a headache than keeping the interdimensional Council of Ricks together. How would a conversation between Archimonde and Kil'Jaedin go?
"Hey man, remember that time you ate a rotten Nether ray egg on accident?"
"No...what reality are you thinking of?"
"HR-13398, The one where that one star didn't exist"
"Oooh, okay. I remember that now...that sucked!"
They better retcon this into a workable form, and soon, otherwise the wod bs will kill the universe. Trying to decipher this is pointless, they worked multiple mutually exclusive ideas into one messed-up story. We can't figure it out because there's nothing to figure out. Guess we'll have to wait for chronicle v2.
Did Archmonde actualy die on Hellfire Citadel ? Cause he was defeated on the Twisting Nether. Or was that part of the fight just flavor and not canon ?
it is on the edge.
they still havent decided if the mythic encounter was canon or not.
that's why i hate such special mythic/heroic/helicopter only phases which dont line up with everything else in the end.
if you already want a special phase for the harder difficulties at least make it so that it makes sense, not *gets killed outside of the physical universe* *cinematic shows him out of a sudden in the pysical universe*

There is 1 Archimonde, there is 1 legion, blizz already explain this in a tweet or something. The Archimonde we fought is the same one we fought in Hyjal back then.
They'll declare it non-canon, or explain that Archimonde "dropped" out of the Twisting Nether right as he died, when the designers of the final Burning Legion raid in WoW want a Kil'jaeden and Archimonde twins fight.

By creating this topic you've put more thought into the situation than Blizzard did. Just rest assured that we're not going back - alternate Gul'Dan is the only real holdover from WoD anyway.
Yet killing Archimonde in the present he is still alive in the past and future. Regarding the 4, possible 5 Gul'dan floating in the TN
MU - dead, only his skull remains
AU - dead, torn apart in the Suramar night well
AU2 - unknown, after doomhammer destroys Lorderon it's up to speculation if he reached the tomb
MovieU - alive, yet to reach the tomb of Sargeras
