    Says players, not characters so. That's the closest I think we've had for sub numbers in a long time
    Given how low the average level at death was, per their last report (i think it was 11 or something), i find it hard to put much stock into this number. they definitely mean player characters, as per the video.

    Wonder if that WOD leak was some desperate dev trying to get the story out there so higher ups would realize the concept sucked based on community feedback, hoping they would do a pivot. Guess shit doesn't really work like that

    i mean there are 4 HC realms (afaik), so thinking there could be 3m players is a bit stupid, no offense

    It was right before announcement. What would they have done, had Siege of Orgrimmar last two years while they started over?

    Are dwarves the "children of first flesh" mentioned in Song of the Depths?

    I think they were the first to get corrupted by curse of the flesh.

    Dunno, time traveling orcs sounds like a stupid dumb idea to me if I am being honest. Didn't like the plot of it at all.

    I have to say that the Scaleborn book being primarily about Northrend is a little odd when you pair it with the theory that the Algarians are the Frostborn.

    And even MORE odd when you consider the theory that the green glow on the datamined gryphon is Saronite.

    It would be an honestly bizarre choice, but maybe there's some kind of Northrend thing going on? It would match with both those things, the Storm theme (storm peaks), the Keeper plot (ulduar) and even the updated boats (including the human Wrath boat).

    Also Stormwind, Amirdrassil and Quelthalas (all the updated boats) would all fit as ports to travel there. Maybe Lordaeron too? Gilneas?

    Also, Tuskarr.... and Dragons too. Shit.

    i mean you can make every expansion concept sound stupid if you want, going to a frozen beach to chill with walrus people sounds stupid too...
    also there were no time traveling orcs except garrosh... WE traveled in time, as we did many times before btw...

    I mean, there is this gigantic fissure between Ulduar and the rest of Storm Peaks...

    Algarians being Frostborn doesn't make sense, does it? They're supposed to have travelled out into the world, being observed by different watchers over thousands of years. The Frostborn barely left home.

    Corruptions were crazy fun and I'm totally serious. Since class balance is impossible, let us at least get dirty in the power creep.

    (Without the eyes and weird debuffs, these were not fun)

    An expansion concept based on K'aresh

    Isn't that just a chasm separating the island from the mainland, so to speak?

    Dunno man a lot of people had issues with the concept, myself included. And it ultimately ended up being cheap nostalgia bait and milking of old popular characters.

    Kind of works with the idea that Elun'ahir could have possibly been in Sholazar Basin. Maybe a 2 (3ish) continent plot, Silithus, the sword, lower Kalimdor and Northrend, Quel'thalas, upper EK.

    Or Avaloren lol
