Wild Gods and green Dragons don't go to the Emerald Dream when they die anymore, do they?
You're having a hard time grasping what an adjective is. Emerald is the color of the place.It doesn't, because the Emerald Dream is not an actual dream. Again, the Emerald Dream is not a literal dream. What, do you think it's also about literal emeralds?
Yea, like what?I never said we have hints of those specific places. I said we had hints of afterlives.
Did these hints include what we got? If not, how did they dare add something that wasn't formerly mentioned in lore? It's against the lelenia rules.
He's the last evolution phase i'd say. A mix between the necromancer and the lich.By your logic, there is also no difference between the Lich King, who is not a lich, and an actual lich.
Weird how they've chose that name, right? It's like Pandaria having nothing to do with Pandarens.It's not a dream.
And that gives permission for the developers to do something about it, in your eyes?Again: we knew next to nothing about the Shadowlands. At best, we had hints of afterlives.
No shit. Anything that would be added to the Emerald Dream would be considered part of the dream. Crazy, right? It's almost like it's intended to be part of the expansion it was made for.But not in a way that goes against the concept of the Shadowlands. Because Ardenweald is an afterlife.
So, no development whatsoever. Got it. Your lack of creativity astounds me.Keeping what has always been described as "lush verdant forests" for almost two decades to remain "lush verdant forests".
Enough? What is enough? If you haven't explored it fully, then there is still room to explore.Then your original statement is upgraded from "wrong" to "meaningless". Because no one is claiming we have "fully explored the Emerald Dream". We're only saying that we explored it enough in books, stories and in-game quests and events to know what it looks like. Precisely because of the wealth of information we were given.
Folklore? That's the Chronicles. Meant to summarize all we knew about these places until then. Not that much in the end, right? Even the WoWpedia page isn't that grand, and it contains every bit of information about that place.You're taking Azeroth's folklore about the Shadowlands as fact now?
So, there's no room for innovation because you can't imagine anything beyond what you've seen. I'd suggest you start opening up to new things. You're too fixated.Once again: there's a huge chasm of difference between "innovating" and "making it into something it's not". The Emerald Dream has been described a myriad of times as one way, and one way only.
Did you need that confirmation? Then, it provided you with nothing but a pretty area to look at.It doesn't always need to provide new information. Confirming already existing information is just as valid.
