Why is the Plaguelands stilled called... The Plaguelands?

[ThExPriDe]

Well I'm not going to go into detail because I'm not sure if Blizzard has released information on it themselves or if I just saw leaks...

But for those who do know, I wonder if they will change the names or keep it for the purposes of history?

Edit: Stilled Called *smh*

I'm almost positive they'll keep the name, but it would be cool if they changed it to reflect the new happy go lucky environment. ^_^

There is still plague there. Just less of it.

I wouldn't say the Plaguelands are now happy-go-lucky. Their are still signs of the plague around them, but it's starting to clear a fair bit. So I really don't see any reason to change their names.

They'll change it to 'The Lesser Plaguelands' then?

I just hope that my grave will be taken care off!

[Nirron]

The land is still Plagued.. less then before but its still Plaguelands

[finnalblow]

ur post is too vague

[ThExPriDe]

I hadn't been following up with blizzard themselves, I have just been looking at leaks. So I have no idea if they had talked about this or not so I didn't want to spoil anything (even though I kinda did). If I knew they went over it; I would have added more to my original post.

They said, that they might change this in Cataclysm.

Why do we call Greenland by that name if its covered in ice?

If we didn't, we'd confuse the Canadians trying to flee the country.

Because there is a secret Titan machine that generates the illusion of an icy wasteland while, in reality, the land is green. Also, the Tol'vir live there.

Would you prefer "The CleanHappyGoLuckyLands"?

Why are the LA lakers still called the lakers?

[Dark Side]

The plaguelands are still called the plaguelands because it is still currently Wotlk. The name is subject to change

Actually the name of Western Plaguelands will change into something new, because the zone is (mostly) cured from the Scourge. The Eastern Plaguelands will be renamed into Plaguelands.

[Gelbin Mekkatorque]

It's called Greenland because of an outlaw trying to trick people from Iceland to get stuck at Greenland while he find America to claim as his own. Eheh

[bot v2.38beta]

Why'd they change it? I can't say, people just liked it better that way.
