    I like how we can just declare things because we don't seem to like them.

    Who said anything about like? It's about whether it makes sense or not.

    I can't even say whether I like it or not just going by the name.

    The expansion could be called Revenge of the Prostitutes and I think I would like that, but that doesn't mean I would think it makes sense as a title coming from Blizzard for a WoW expansion.

    Has nothing to do with liking it.

    Anyone else catch this on page 70? If the document is legit the name of the expansion may not be the release title
    Heroes of the Dorm was the big event they held, which was marketed all over the place, even on specific TV channels.

    Which it does, and people only seem to be saying it doesn't because they don't seem to like it. An insane amount of pedantry going on.

    Do Blizzard usually trademark outside of the US first?

    Maybe some places just gets called "Glades [of sth]"?

    I'm not an expert, but Mists of Pandaria not Mists of The Pandaria + Warlords of Draenor not Warlords of The Draenor make me thing that there might be a rule in english where you don't use "the" before something that has a unique name. Correct me if I'm wrong though, english is not my native language.

    You're late to the party, and Google would have told you so.
    Ah thanks sorry was at work and just noticed this whilst browsing trying to keep my personal web browsing to a minimum :P

    Also I dont watch TV or live in the US if that is where said commercials were airing

    I imagine they would have bought all the domains associated with this in preparation. Go to any hosting website (e.g. godaddy) and you can still purchase all variants of "councilofglades".

    It's a crap name anyway.

    Probably not, but if we assume that companies have an option to hide the trademark from public searches in New Zealand, why wouldn't they have it in US?

    Typical krazyk mental gymnastics.

    Are you the one who faked this document?

    It's worth noting that even if this were a completely public trademark filing, the NZ database would not be updated yet. After reviewing the last few hundred trademarks to be filed on a weekend, trademarks with a filing date of a Saturday don't appear in the database until Tuesday, sometimes Wednesday. And that's for public trademark filings. If they indeed offer a private filing service, I can't discern any way we could refute it atm.

    No...it doesn't? And besides in reality it would be The Council of Glades. Just like it was The Cataclysm.

    And I like how we can defend things just because we like the idea. Neither side has a real solid basis right now.

    Again, I dunno about American English, but by the rules of British semantics, it's a particularily weird title that implies one of the following:

    -the title lacks a definite article before 'Glades'
    -there is some lore we're missing that would explain why the definite article is missing
    -WoW is now a newspaper.

    Sounds like the mental gymnastics are the people like yourself getting butthurt over a name. Like I said, I don't know if it's fake or not, but this chest-thumping about grammar as if it is proving something is incredibly goofy.

    I don't think I actually ever said I liked the name. I'm not sure if I do. I just don't have a knee-jerk hatred of it.
