entire panel for thrall, think he has a role in future patch?

[Alubobz]

Just looking at the summary on here then

[Zig Zug]

I wish they'd clarify between Retail and sideshows, because letting everyone know BC is coming isn't really a reveal at this point, is it?

Sort of. I think they'll probably expand on how they plan to roll it out (which is unknown at this point, will there be transfers/character copy, or fresh start?)

How it's being implemented is definitely a huge reveal. That could make or break the xpac.

[kranur]

Weird that they're discussing content coming to Azeroth since TBC takes place in Outland and Shadowlands ... well in Shadowlands.

That's a fair assessment, I'm trying to understand the latter however - make or break? Curious what the break scenario would be - like they carry over Classic characters?

Yeah just progress current servers into TBC ones. IMO they should give the option to transfer current toons to a classic server or to start on a new one.

Well he's one of the leaders captured by the Jailer and then kept alive and his mother is a Baroness in Maldraxxus. And Garrosh is somewhere in Revendreth too.

Okay that made me laugh.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

Okay that made me laugh.

I'm still holding out hope they bring him back and make him the new Primus/zone leader. They did him dirty.

[Darknessvamp]

Wasn't Krexus killed though?

Maldraxxus is a little different compared to the other zones. You can be killed but get a new body through constructs and such.

[Darknessvamp]

Oh I'm aware of the constructs, you had to make a new one for the Slaughter Daughter, but I thought that he was explicitly dead dead not just his construct was destroyed and the Necrolords just forgot about reviving him.

I don't recall that being said in game. I didn't personally play the Necrolords campaign, only saw videos, but I didn't see them mentioning his soul.
