How is Zalazane Still Alive?

Come Cataclysm, you have to imagine that everything conflicting that has happened in the past no longer applies. You have never killed Zalazane - he has been plaguing the Echo Isles for a long time, preventing the Darkspears from reclaiming their home. Now, after the Cataclysm has struck, the Darkspear tribe have finally grown confident enough to launch an attack on Big Z and take their home back. So you go and kill him. This is the first time you have killed him, regardless of what your memories are telling you. So the world can make sense to both new players and old ones.
Thank you for explaining what I've always been saying for thread after thread dealing with Cataclysm and the storyline.

ya but i always assume that thats just a game mechanic lol.
Easiest way to figure out if someone is alive or not, go check wowwiki, it tells you right there.

o noez they retconed the game iz ruined.
Eh, so he's alive again. Thermaplugg is alive again as well. Just sit back and let it happen. If Blizz is gonna retcon then they're gonna retcon and there's nothing you can do about it. And just whining about it doesn't help, it's just kind of annoying.

It IS basically a retcon. Nothing more.
What I think happened is that Blizzard may not have had plans for the gnomes and trolls to have their own starting areas, or maybe they did but not in the way they're doing it now... So they do all this stuff and the only thing they CAN do is retcon.
Although, this isn't the first time something like this has happened.
Dar'Khan Drathir
was killed in the Sunwell trilogy yet is living (or unliving) in Deatholme.

What's strange about that? The triology happened before WoW anyway. Dar'khan is undead ingame, yes.
I fail to see the problem here. :)

lore wise, he is dead, there is even a quest to get his HEAD.
and yet....he's still alive now for the retaking of echo isles for patch 3.3.3, how does this make sense?
he's dead and his head was taken......
I have two words for you pal:
Retroactive Continuity.
