Yeah Vol'jin did the Wyvern magic back in WC3 but Rokhan's the one who traveled with Chen and Rexxar...
I think Blizz dun goofed.

Not a lot of people know who Rokhan is. I believe they just left him out.

Wouldn't be the first time they blatantly changed lore without mentioning it.

That doesn't mean they should leave him out, he's about as relevant as Rexxar is. Originally Posted by Rioichi

Should totally note it to Blizz, maybe they'll actually be nice and remember Rokhan.

I dunno, I'll grant he doesn't have a lot of development at the moment but he's been incredibly influential in the Horde's founding and history, so he ought to be present for the Darkspear rebellion. Originally Posted by Nindoriel

Yep. I was just thinking that name would get thrown around this week when reading threads yesterday.
Should he have been a little more developed other than a Horde quest that is paralleled by an Alliance NPC called "Wyrmbait"? Yes. Could they have included him in at least Chen's story with the Horde this expansion? Definitely. Should they start now, after putting all of this effort into Vol'jin, apparently? ...
Well, I'd like if they were reminded, but I can't judge how the story would play out if they tried to retroactively include him now... Sucks. Could always use more interesting characters who could serve a purpose, like that Nazgrim guy. (Speaking of Naz... Nazgrel's still in Outland too.)It wasn't long ago / I was just like you / And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home!

Actually, Rexxar was in the Shattering event and was defending Orgrimmar from the elemental invasion in the Valley of Strength. Originally Posted by Vyrd

I still think it's a crime that Rokhan and Rexxar weren't on the first boat to Pandaria when the Horde started sending its fleets.
They need to be given a reunion with their old buddy Chen.
Micky Neilson has apparantly been pushing for Rexxar to show up but I guess hasn't had much success.

Blizzard noticed that Voljin was useless so they are retconing him into everything.

Who is Rokhan ?
oh and Drek'thar has been in the game since Alterac Valley at least (bg)

Oh I just realized that they either retconned Rokhan being there in the first place to it being Voljin, or forgot about it themselves. That is sad. I don't particularly miss Rokhan, but I hate retcons. It makes things feel strange for no good reason.
