you know a crazy theory a cousin of mine made up? that the titans are also the xel'naga from Starcraft.
while that's unlikely, it would be intresting that blizzard in some way managed to mix all 3 universes in some way by making subtle references.
for example the pyramids on uldum look A LOT like protoss buildings, I would love it if we find inside one of these pyramids a stranded protoss zealot, with a broken protoss gateway inside, so we help this stranded protoss to fight, do some quests for him, help him repair his gateway and once it's fixed, he enters and returs to his universe.
a small reference to Diablo woudn't hurt either.
what do you think? would that be cool? would it be terrible? I for one would love to see some protoss in wow, even if it's just 1.
a posible lore explanation is that the cataclysm sent ripples of arcane energy via the nether, that tore a hole in the fabric of space time and created a bridge between another paralel universe and ours, sucking in a terran a protoss and a zerg into azeroth.
a perfect location for the protoss is as I said Uldum, a perfect location for the zerg is on Silithus where he could try to controll the quiraj, and a suitable location for the terran would be........... anywhere, he's a human with an advance armor (or just a human with high-tech weapons) so he or she could fit everywhere.

Yeah, that would be cool, but Metzen ssaid it's not going to happen, I'm afraid... :\
How interested are you in creating points of cross-pollination across Blizzard’s gaming universes?
Chris Metzen: Zerg fossils in WoW, that kind of stuff?
Is that something you could see Blizzard moving more into?
Chris Metzen: To clarify: StarCraft in Warcraft and Warcraft in StarCraft?
And Diablo.
Chris Metzen: And Diablo. I have very little interest in that canonically, but if we do a little funny… For instance, we recently did a little StarCraft in-game pet for your WoW character; it was kind of funny and schticky and stuff like that.
I’m getting looser about that kind of thing – as long as it’s cool or funny, it’s all gravy. But I like the idea these universes really existing apart. For instance I’m a big fan of 80s license – G.I Joe, Transformers – and every once in a while people do crossover: “G.I. Joe vs Transformers!” and I’m kind of “ugh”. It’s kind of cool, but I’m kind of a purist that way. I like things to be able to breathe and be their own thing so I’m not as hip in really chasing that down, but if we can find fun ways, it’s more of a nod to the fans that really love these ideas, then that’s cool.--

Also, I just got
Lorespinner
on my way towards Loremaster...
What enchant should I put on it?
I'm thinking of doing
Crusader
(a WoW Lore Crusader),
Mighty Intellect
(self explanatory... :P), or perhaps
Lifestealing
(WoW Lore steals my life...)

but you see it is not my opinion that is wrong...but your logic in thinking that it is. No one persons opinion, that can't be proven by facts, is wrong. And since each person differs on there opinion because books are like art and mean diffrent things to different people you can in no way prove that my view of enjoying the book is wrong nor can i say that your view of the book being bad is wrong.

Except for the parts with Deathwing, WotA was boring.

Well, Knaak doesn't know much about the environment in which he writes about; so he kinda asspulls his own stunts to make sense for him, even if it spits all over previous, and
bette
r sources (eg. WC3).
I agree wholeheartedly with this
opinion
, and I'd recommend people reading it. It actually has examples from Knaak himself. /headdesk at the bit about tauren death knights.

Yea, when he has his own world to frolic in its not so bad.Well, actually, that makes it worse; which was my point. It's not his world. If it was, his 'lore' would be acceptable on the grounds of it being his own work that he is ruining. The dragons were okay...everything else; not so much.
Characters are still sues.
Yes, I won't dispute that Rhonin, Krasus and Broxigar are sues.

see my whole thing for reading the books isn't to gain lore knowledge it is simply to read them for enjoyment and no other purpose. Yes i suppose if i re-read it for lore reasons I would hate it but that's not why i read these things.

I forced myself through 3/4 of Well of Eternity over the course of a month, then ended up borrowing Darkly Dreaming Dexter from the library and reading it in a day.

he he he :P
Justice
has been served Justin :D since I found out about that new quest in searing gorge that allows me to use a slowfall trinket, I shall camp thy facist ass every-single-time I'm on icecrown and the trink is not on cooldown.

And what are you saying in whispers there, Rank? "That for after of to be DK... something... something... of Dragon Ball Z?" :P

he he he, go ahead, see if I care, I hate korm too :P he's just as horrible, if my ally toon was geared for it I'd kill him myself for doing a crime even worst than that of justin.
Dishonoring the horde and what we stand for.
and skree, what I was saying on that wisper was to one of my friends on the server, I was telling him that prior to being a DK, Darion seemed pulled right out of DBZ considering how spiky his blonde hair used to be.
:P
so funden, kill korm, heck if I was in the same realm as you, I may even help ya with it.
just be warned, Korm is a bit harder than justin, not because he's stronger but because koltira is right next to him, and unlike that whimpass Korm, Koltira Deathweaver is a tough-ass elf.
on my ally toon he 3shoted me xD he's a beast.
at least on the skyreaver thassarian has the courtesy to remain as far from justin as posible.
I'm not saying korm is unkillable, I'm saying that unless u're REALLY well geared, or get some help, u're most likely gonna end up in a suicide mission there. Koltira is no joke :P that sword of his aint small after all.

Heh, Spanish 3 myself. /flex. Heh, kidding, I stink at Spanish =P

y toon was geared for it I'd kill him myself for doing a crime even worst than that of justin.
I want to kill both =P I wasn't saying "Oh you're killing him I have to kill Horde!"
Nope, both must die.

Crap. Maybe I'll get my über-tank friend to tank him for me =P
so funden, kill korm, heck if I was in the same realm as you, I may even help ya with it.
That'd be awesome, but I doubt you'd go to Hyjal.

why not? I'm looking good alternative spots to plant my alliance alts for when catalcysm arrives :P if I'm gonna roll an alt on a diferent server I may as well do so on a server were I know a friend ;)
Crap. Maybe I'll get my über-tank friend to tank him for me =P
yhea you should :P he can crit for up to 30k on plate DPS gear and spec. He's a beast. I almost wish I could atack him on my DK; to try out just how hardcore my tank gear/skill is, but I can't since I'm horde, and thassarian is regrettably not the same (hits faster but weaker due to dualwielding, plus I parry-gib him real quick)
Nope, both must die.
agreed :D
Edit: typos.
Edit 2: did I mentioned that while koltira only auto-atacks you, he has a rather ridiculus crit chance? :P I Just went on my ally alt, and yup, my ass got served, 5 attempts, all of them death by crit. Koltira is a beast ;)
