    They are basically defective toasters, like quite a few other races.

    That's how i view it, so basically our earth exists in the warcraft universe, but we don't know the our real origin, because titans and all that other stuff is real.

    Make any sense?

    You are right in the real life sense, but in the warcraft universe sense, , it's story is the "truth " of how things are, and so its humans and our humans are the same within that universe. But in reality ofc they aren't, because warcraft is fictional.
    Earth does not exist in world of warcraft, what are you talking about?

How much of that is represented in the art of the game is anyone's guess, but I'm saying that the fact that Warcraft's humans are essentially mutated alien constructs descended from space-giants goes far to explain why they're different from real-life human norms.

    Pretty sure that's just a one-off Easter egg and not really meant as canonizing Earth as a place in the fictional Warcraft universe. Not too different from the fact that Stormwind City guards and Orgrimmar Grunts get lightsabers on May 4th of each year as a cheeky reference to Star Wars, which doesn't really canonize that there's a magical day where every guard on Azeroth gets a laser sword.

    Also they were literally made of stone/metal and looked like this before they were made into flesh by yogg sarrons curse of flesh.

    This begs the question of why did they have stone/metal beards

    Could be. One of things I like about Guild Wars 2 lore is humans are aliens brought to the game worlds planet.

    Alice? Where is this alice you speak of, looking up the name "alice" in tbc comes up with not a single npc with the name alice.

    I think he's referring to Natasha, a human girl who follows Wildlord Antelarion around in the Evergrove in Blade's Edge, and comments about how she came from "Eng-land" and fell from a large bird.

    Considering the Titans created them off the Vyrkul... no.

    They are the mutated offspring of mutated titan constructs.... not exactly natural.

    That's not as fun of an answer.

    I know exactly who he is talking about, I vaguely remember that quest but I remember thinking the little girl was crazy.

    Edit Did they remove her from the game? I remember her....but...

    While I could see why one may not consider them natural, what makes you think they're not native? Their origin is still Azeroth, with the world's crust being used to build the keeper's constructs. Do you consider them native to the Plane of Order then based on the fact that they're titan creations? Just curious.

    They're actually deformed Vrykul sent to Tirisfal as a "mercy" rather than being slain outright as a means of culling the weak.

    These deformed Vrykul eventually established the Lordaeron kingdom and spread out from there throughout the Eastern Kingdoms.

    As far as the Vrykul are concerned, I believe they were originally a race created to serve the titanic keepers in their fight against the old gods.
    They eventually succumbed to the curse of flesh created by Yogg-saron IIRC.
    Technically the Empire of Strom, located in Stromgarde is the ancestral point of the later Seven Kingdoms.

    @FelPlague and @Aucald but don't you think blizzard are cheeky that way, - I've always wondered from that moment on, if our earth was in the Warcraft universe.

    Before I use to wonder if Warcraft happens well before our earth you know... I think everyone's assumption is that the two are totally unrelated, but then when they do things like that with natasha - you can't help but wonder.

    yeh they're being cheeky but with a "wink" in "ah you never know mwuhahaha..." it's not like they've definitely said the two aren't related in their universe..

    btw.. thanks for the correction. Natasha not Alice, I had no energy to get the correct reference (been recovering from severe illness)

    No, they are not. Every playable race is either a Titanic descendent of had their evolution affected by said Titans. The only example is maybe the draenei if Argus didn't passively affect their development.
    The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.
