What can ROTW stand for?

Was there a "ROTW" leak?

Hmn the logo is vanilla, azeroth reborn classic+?

Pretty sure its Korg Highmountain's action figure box, as said by JDBlou.

Looks like this thing

Looks badass. I have no idea when and who came up with the idea of Tauren were this peace loving nature people.
How ya suppose Carine got the name Bloodhoof, huh? Cause he loves blood oranges?

I knew it! World of Warcraft: Toy Story.

It's funny, because those numbers are recovering now.
Just because cross-faction gameplay exists doesn't mean the factions in game can't go back to smacking each other sometimes. We've always worked together, but we've always gone back to fighting after. That's sort of the point. They literally brought it up as a major theme in the MoP cinematic.

If anything, it means we can finally have content based on factions without people being locked out of it because of raid nights.

Yeah, I agree, they could make a new pvp mode/battleground. Faction war as a story elemnt is less than ideal imo, you can't have a clear winner and in the end you must enforce the status quo ante, being WoW an MMO.

Nah, it was nothing.

No, it does make sense, you are thinking in a meta level concept, the general civilian, tribe, clan or group don't give two shits about "void lords" because they can't or don't understand the concept or scale, they only care about their safety, their next meal and revenge against what happened to then, thats why faction conflict and skirmishes will always happen, to get resources or land.

Again, this worked just fine in wtlk and cata

It didn't work at all in Wrath.

Gunship Battle is the most inane fucking fight in the game.

Between the green dragons, Elun'ahir and the lack of civilization on Avaloren (and element theme if you subscribe to the idea that elements are made in the Lifelands), maybe Avaloren will be heavily Lifelands/Elune themed overall.

Revenge of the Worgen?

(Hmmm)

[Nuami]

They are already doing that.

Old racial traditions = BAD
Titans = evil colonizers and other forces just ''marginalized groups''
Etc

Given how the Titans in WoW are based off a Norse gods I always expected they'd end up secretly dicks. That's just staying true to the inspiration.

[JDBlou]

Return of the Wrath of the Bolvar

Do they think we had forgotten, that we had forgiven? The Wrath of the Bolvar is undying.

[Cheezits]

What can ROTW stand for?

Revenge of the Wrathion

[Sentynel]

On a side note, do you guys think they will announce a 20 year anniversary collector's edition similar to the 15th anniversary with the Ragnaros statue?

[Syegfryed]

Work great

Gunship Battle is the most inane fucking fight in the game.

And it was badass dumb, over the top awesome, gunship fight in the middle of the lich king raid

this is the wow i signed in for.

[Cheezits]

On a side note, do you guys think they will announce a 20 year anniversary collector's edition similar to the 15th anniversary with the Ragnaros statue?

Yes, and it will be Anduin and Wrathion kissing.

[Makorus]

Yeah, because this is peak writing.

Grow up.

I imagine so, looking forward to it

[Schwert]

It's always weird to me watching people throw a fit about faction stuff existing in this game, when you ask general people at conventions and stuff about the game, their faction is usually the first dang thing they bring up and people still chest-thump for their team. Heck, even former players when I mention it at my other volunteer work when they see me wearing a shirt or jewelry always either get hyped for the Alliance bracelet, or jokingly call me an Alliance dog or screech For the Horde.

Like, volunteering at cons and spending time with general gamers at these events really gives me whiplash when I try to just enjoy the things I like about this game in communities seemingly dedicated to them.

If I wanted to play an MMO without factions, I'd be playing XIV or something. But I like the us vs them vibe, especially now that we actually have a chance to do it because it doesn't impact PvE anymore.

The entire premise of the franchise changed. It worked up until BfA, even in MoP it made sense, but coming clean at the end and killing Garrosh basically ended that logic. And at the latest after BfA faction war will never ever make sense again. It‘s simple as that.

[Schwert]

Yeah, because this is peak writing.

Grow up.

Ya'll always resort to insults when people love the thing you don't like?

How about no?
Also, I don't think you want to talk about how the entire premise of the franchise changed because you're talking about Shadowlands and Dragonflight.
