If your story isn't completely about time/reality travel, it's god damned suicide to introduce time/reality travel.

Doubly sad in that they effectively closed the gaping plot hole of WoD with Chronicle Vol. 3, but now Danuser appears to have reopened them with his bizarre explanation of how AU incarnations are to work in Shadowlands. Not quite sure what they're thinking in this vein - it would be better to just say "AU characters don't go to the Shadowlands unless they somehow merge with the MU timeline, an event that very rarely occurs." I hope a reexplanation of this happens in the short-term, and they close the door on this before it gets entirely out of hand.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
It's Danuser, he probably thinks his explanation was really clever or something.
They really should just kill the AU. It was Kairoz's mistake, the Bronzes salvaged what they could, it crashed, no longer exists, GG no re, don't think about it or ask questions about it again, there's only one actual universe, one version of characters, one imagery of the cosmos, because this lore's enough of a hot mess even without introducing alternate reality bullshit that doesn't actually serve the story or characters in any way.

The internet: where to every action is opposed an unequal overreaction.
They could have just said something like the Twisting Nether not only connects worlds but realities(its just harder to traverse it to get to other universes or some crap) and the reason why there is only one of each demon is because they are linked to the Twisting Nether which bleeds into all realities.
Yeah like if Uther was a great guy in 99 realities and they all went to Bastion then in the last reality an Uther dies in he is a rapist cannibal does his soul suddenly get plucked out of Bastion and sent to Revendreth? I really hope someone gets Blizzard to elaborate more on this because its pretty retarded and confusing atm.Originally Posted by VinceVega

His answer was a train wreck. The rope is a very bad analogy. You had years to come up with something about AUs. And all you have is “rope, time not a concept of SL, all merge even if one did good stuff and the other committed atrocities”...
Best answer would be (based on chronicle): AUs are pocket dimensions whose souls’ cease to exist..
No BS “infinite Drakas merging into one but don’t worry about time because time not a concept” mambo jambo
Stories about alternate universes are quite difficult to pull off, especially when there is a constant interaction between them. That's why such premise usually ruins the story to no end, for what I've seen. Sure, there are a few exceptions, but those come from exceptionally gifted writers such as Ursula K. Le Guin or Isaac Asimov.
Now try comparing Danuser to either of them
Alternate universes or continuities are something a setting needs to have taken into account when the setting is built, it's not generally something you want to tack on later - especially if you've not thought up a workable set of rules for how you're going to govern their function and interoperability in said setting. The same is true of settings that use or rely on time travel - you want a workable system in place that can handle at least the majority of paradoxes and continuity snarls that can pop up. One of WoW's main issues, and the greater Warcraft universe in general, is that the setting was never made with these ideas in place, they've all been added later on, embellishments on a more or less established setting that haven't always been handled so well. WoW now has both time travel and alternate universes at the same time, without any real rules for managing either - and the problems, well, they've become more and more apparent as the story grows more voluminous and dense.

The crooked shitposter with no eyes is watching from the endless thread.
From the space that is everywhere and nowhere, the crooked shitposter feasts on memes.
He has no eyes to see, but he dreams of infinite memeing and trolling.
Basically he's saying that in time (over veritable eons in the timeless eternity of Death), all those strands will eventually coalesce or combine into a composite entity that is greater than any of the individuals that combined into it. So eventually AU Draka will join the composite being of Draka in Death, as well any other strands of her that exist in the multiverse. It also opens the door that the Draka we encounter in Maldraxxus is not herself *just* MU Draka who died when Thrall was an infant, she could conceivably be the composite of a few different Drakas from other continuities.
