    That just makes it worse if they actually planned the Illidan surviving and Dalaran parts of the story.

    Then we have the whole Dranei ordeal which in warcraft 3 they were primitive tribal natives that lived along with the orcs on draenor. Then all of a sudden they are some intergalactic magical species that are cousins of the burning legion and they have a freaking flying city that crashes into Azeroth in World of Warcraft.

    Gnomes building rocket ships in area 52 in outland and what not. I mean come on Blizzard. Then they add motorcycles and stuff in wrath of the lich king. Ya, that makes a lot of sense for a medievil fantasy franchise.

    I'm sorry but the Warcraft universe is now a freak show full of all kinds of absurd things and a equaly absurd story, if you can even call it that now.

    Well. The Draeni thing, they stole a Naaru ship (It was part of the Tempest Keep), they didn't make it themselves.

    But still.

    Aliens? lolwut

    I was quite certain Illidan would survive after the end of FT and I think it was written in some D&D WoW books that he did. Probably even before WoW came out and surely before BC.

    As for Dalaran and Muradin, at this point it's "just another lore rape by WoW", but seriously, especially Muradin surviving sucks.

    Alien cows? I think I've said enough about that already

    quite clearly, who ever does the Warcraft story have gone completely insane and need to be killed before they do an more damage.

    It all started with Fenix posting this thread, then Gforce bringing up the idea of SST, StarCraft, and 40k all fighting each other, then PancakeChef remarking that "Tyranids are basically Zerg on steroids", then Space Pirate Rojo saying that 40k is about 38k years into the future of Starcraft, then me being a little silly saying that "Blizzard will form up with Games Workshop / Relic Entertainment and will then reveal that according to lore that Warhammer is the future of Starcraft", after that Fenix reminded me of the Orc(or k)s, which resulted with me trying to merge Warcraft into the lore somehow, then PancakeChef brought up the topic that the lore of the Warcraft world was completely messed up do to WoW, which resulted with people arguing about the WoW storyline.

    *takes a deep breath* wow, done.

    Are you kidding me?
    There was a female orc in Warcraft one ffs

    Later on with wow and the books it turns out shes a half orc half human, but by the same book it's also impossible. The fact is, there were always female orcs in WC.

    Griselda is Blackhand's unruly daughter.

    The mission she was in was pretty much filler, because whoopie. Kill Blackhand's daughter. Isn't that just a lore kick in the pants?

    There was never, NEVER any mention of her after that mission in Warcraft lore.

    Well Garona was around Warcraft 1 lore, but I didn't know which you were talking about.

    ...Wait was Garona in Warcraft: Orcs & Humans?

    Damn, I need to play through again sometime.
