Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers
The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch Arrives April 30
Why is it so hard to find a Mythic raiding guild that isn't full of toxic people?
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
What's the state of PvP like today?
MMO-Champion
Well based on Metzen seemingly becoming hyper excited when asked when we will see Illidan's redemption and resurrection on BlizzCon 2010 i think it's safe to say he'll be back in...an expansion or WarCraft 4. Then there's also the fact that Illidan is one of the most popular WarCraft heroes and Blizz has an addiction to corruption and redemption themes and it's passed due for Illidan to be a badass that isn't always being shown as a bad person. What are some peoples thoughts on this though? How do we think Blizzard should handle the character? I think they honestly did him some disservice in BC in how he was as a character. IMO, the Titans may very well be the reasoning behind his return. It's hinted that the Old Gods used and corrupted Illidan to their own goals. Considering Illidan has been "marked" for greatness since birth it would make sense that he has the capability to be a 'champion' of sorts for the Titans. Why not make a Demon Hunter class with his resurrection for WoW (if done so in WoW). However for the Titans im sure at this point they must be taking notice of the events on Azeroth. Their old machines are acting up Old Gods stirring and Sargeras is well...who knows what that nut job is doing. I personally dont think the Titans will play a direct intervention easily so why not resurrect/purify/heal Illidan train him/give him power/knowledge and have him and his Demon Hunters be not only a counter to Old Gods but to Sargeras as well - Demon Hunters that answer, in the end, to the Titans themselves.
But that's just one possible way in my head they could do it. In the end I just hope they bring the badass back and no more "zomg you preserved magic by making another well of eternity thats now mount hyjal and the sunwell two major sources of powerrrr. and like zomg your taking in all this power to save our livezzz you so baaad illidan!!!"

War of the Ancients raid, Caverns of Time. We run into Illidan in the past, and somehow he finds out what's going to happen at Black Temple... so he takes steps to change his future. When we come back, suddenly he never really died at BT anymore, because he was...
*sunglasses*
PREPARED.

This instance is supposedly going to have Illidan in it, if it is real.Last edited by Luphy; 2010-12-24 at 10:36 AM.

I did feel sorry for Illidan when reading The war of the ancients books and I hope we see him in the CoT instance. But please no more ressurections and setbacks

I expect Illidan not only to return (in the present), but also be redeemed. I am expecting his spirit to exist inside the Emerald Dream, and feature heavily in an expansion that takes place there.

*sigh* From a business standpoint and lore standpoint WC 4 will and must happen.
SC2 will be done WoW will be done, for MMO we have "Titan" what about RTS? Diablo will be burning through the hack n slash so for RTS we have WC4. WarCraft is originally an RTS and thats where all the lore of WoW originates from. So for WoW 2 you need to push WC story forward with WC4.
But the fact you stopped reading just because of WarCraft 4 is pretty retarded, you can bring Illidan back just in WoW if they want. As for his spirit, if the Old Gods and Burning Legion are involved i suspect we may have to save him first or the Titans free him in the background. idk the more i play cata the more i feel that the good guys need Illidan back to fill up some kind of hole haha....or maybe malfurion just annoys me.

I hope he'll be back in the War of Ancients raid later on, that would be pretty bad ass.
So is War of the Ancients like Ulduar? 2nd patch?

No, next patch is going to be focused around Ragnaros and him realm-Firelands. Originally Posted by Angrybathtub;9891525 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting**************9891525******end_of_the_skype_highlighting begin_of_the_skype_highlighting**************9891525******end_of_the_skype_highlighting
Then War of the Ancients.
So by WoTKL meters WotA is going to be like ToTC, before we kill DW.Most people are under the belief that I think i am better than everyone else
this is false
I know i am better than everyone else
So in end of day, most ppl not even good

Source on that? If i remember correctly Blizzard stated they will include more raids per patch, but less bosses in the raid (Not less bosses per patch), so maybe Firelands and WotA is going in the same patch? Originally Posted by Rufus

Well Blizz confirmed the next content patch is Firelands and the new 5 man, war of the ancients has been confirmed for "A future patch", if that is included for next patch or one after that has yet to be determined. Originally Posted by Leeróy

Could be worse. They could make a 'Fall of Gnomeregan' CoT instance where we all get turned into gnomes.

Believe it will be Firelands + Abyssal Maw raids for the next patch. Abyssal maw is to be totally underwater and pick up where Throne of the Tides left off. Bosses Neptulon, Ozumat, N'Zoth, and something else... Originally Posted by Leeróy

But then, everyone wants to see Illidan back, Demon Hunters are probably on the way, what with the easter egg from the book in the mini maelstrom in Darkshore and all, and Illidan would be the only Demon Hunter that could teach someone. Except Atruis, but he's a nobody.
