    I couldn't find what the specific addon is called on my CurseForge thing but apparently there's one to block entire guilds or "guild families" when there's several guilds with the same name and a number. Might be useful for you if it bothers you. EDIT : @Juvarisx found it, it's called Guildmute...

    Yes, most of the Old Gods have names taken almost straight out of the Lovecraft Mythos. C'thun = C'thulu Yogg-Saron = Yog-Sothoth N'Zoth = Zoth-Ommog Ny'alotha where the Old Gods exist outside of the physical plane is inspired by R'lyeh the sleeping city, and the name Nyarlathotep (another...

    Obvious ploy to make you cough up $30 to unlock Demon Hunters in Forever, that double-jump can do the trick.

    Yes, their plans for an underground city-like Azjol'Nerub didn't pan out back then, and I think they kind of re-attempted that with Azj'Kahet in The War Within. The city part, at least, looked interesting but those hybrid-nerubians ended up being completely forgotten in the next patch, I...

    Troll hunters have pretty cool animations/poses, I like how they hold their bow and how they (the males) sit down on their haunches.

    Would have been funny if Zephras Isle was surrounded by an impassable rampart called The Pay Wall.

    Maybe they changed it in recent years in one of their Chronicles books, but Barrow Deeps is the place where the Night Elf druids sleep under Mount Hyjal and where Maiev Shadowsong and her contingent of Wardens keep their prisoners (including Illidan). Perhaps in the Forever timeline, the place...

    Northrend's probably fine, but they'll have to change the lore background for Pandaria is they want to put that in, because it was the Cataclysm that dissipated the mists hiding it from the rest of the world. If we never go to Outland, we never bring Illidan back to the Broken Isles as a...

    As I recall, Stormwind Vaults was supposed to be the supermax version of the Stockades, with very dangerous and/or magical criminals in there. They kind of reworked it later into the Violet Hold in Dalaran for Wrath of the Lich King and Legion.

    Yes I did all that. I didn't say it wasn't feasible, I said it would be hard to make it interesting. Do you just want Wetlands but underground? Do you want Thousand Needles but in a cave? Is that what's been missing for you all those years?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The problem with underground zones is they're not super interesting if it's all mostly flat terrain, which is necessary in a world with only ground mounts. You could add in-zone taxi service gryphons/wyverns I suppose, but they only added Deepholm or Zaralek Caverns long into the flying mounts...

    Those are good ideas. Subterranean Hyjal is already in one of the new raids though, Barrow Deeps.

    Yes I remember the last time they put in alternate ways and secondary stats to your character in some kind of system meant to increase your power while you stayed at the same level. Oh wait that was Path of the Titans and they scrapped it when they realized it was just a min/max'ing headache...

    I'm not even sure which zones they could add at this point. They already kept Quel'thalas out of the game because 1) it's the focus of the current Retail expansion and 2) it was originally TBC content and they probably wanted to emphasize on the Classic aspect of things. The way they worded it...

    I think the horizontal content stems from the max level being and announced as remaining at 60 permanently. However, a level 60 with ilvl 250 gear isn't going to play in the same ballpark as a level 60 with ilvl 60 gear. At some point they're going to create new content that requires better...

    Correct, which is why I said this idealized untouched WoW isn't going to last. You're already seeing it with the $30 cloud elves, cosmetic-only items being added to Forever. They're adding transmogrification to sell you cosmetic items, and soon they'll probably make a Forever version of housing...

    If they were going to make a WoW 2 this would have been the time to do it. With the Worldsoul Saga releasing its final expansion next year and no clearly announced future for WoW stories. Instead Blizzard is announcing major projects with Starcraft and Diablo and is releasing WoW Forever which...

    We'll just agree to disagree, I wish Forever nothing but good things especially since people here are happy/excited about it, I'm just being realistic and probably a bit cynical about it.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I did watch it, and obviously Blizzard is known for respecting its deadlines and delivering a quality product when they rush. I included the already announced new stuff into my appraisal for Forever. As I said, it'll do well at launch. I just don't think it'll last very long at that level of...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I, on the other hand, expect Forever to do very well at launch but then lose a lot of its population when they realize what "forever" truly means. There won't be new zones, dungeons or raids every few months. Zero expansions. Ever. You'll probably get some new thing here and there, rarely...

    But Dragonflight IS a skip. It's the price you pay in WoW for starting the game late, or creating an alt. I'm talking about my personal experience as someone who played since WoW's release, I did collect bear asses in Westfall and boar livers in Loch Modan. I went through all the quests and...

    Onimusha: Way of the Sword

    It's impressive reflexes for sure. But sadly I think it also makes the fights a lot less interesting visually, they're just "spamming" (with incredibly precise timing of course) the same move over and over again, no swords clashing, no deflections, no dodges, no grabs, and of course there's the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I agree for the early years of WoW. By the time Warlords of Draenor came out, I had done my share of gathering bear asses and boar livers for years. I had slain Onyxia, Nefarian, C'thun, saved Outland from Illidan's clutches, defeated Yogg-Saron and the Lich King, explored Pandaria and saved...

    One thing I felt WoD did right was introducing in-game cinematics for finishing key moments of pretty much each zone's major questline. After that, for most of the expansions since, it feels like all you do outside of raids has no impact at all on the story. Legion still had a few of those...

    I thought I was doing fine, dying two or three times against most bosses but then beating them, and able to beat them first try for the most part in boss rematch. And then I started the final couple story missions. I am humbled.

    I always thought they should adjust WoW's night/day cycle to be more like 23 or 22 hours long instead of 24, just so it would shift a little everyday and people who mostly play at the same hours would get to see some changes.
