Multiverse options are limitless

So,we have multiverse and time travelling in wow,
So,imagine arthas that succeded in conquiring azeroth but one is not enough and he comes here.

Or Sergaras and legion being stronger then ever and one universe is not enough.

Or Big bad proto dragon coming after another azeroth after he was repeled from his own?

Or bad illidian with a whole army.

Anyways,i think theres unlimited potential if creative writing staff is engaged.

No thanks, I’d like to have a good story, not a cheap “what if”

Didn’t Aman’Thul say theres only one main universe? But beings like the Bronze Dragonflight are able to create alternate timelines. So someone like Kairoz would first have to travel back in time, change the timeline to make Arthas win and then find a portal strong enough to travel to the future to invade the main timeline. Same for all the other options.

Possible? Yeah probably but it’s not very creative imo.

Time-travel always leads to more problems and it’s best to be avoided.

This kind of Timey-wimey stuff has to be handled with care. It cheapens the content so much. There is no sense of danger or peril. Rick & Morty parody this so well and show how ridiculous stories can get when you have infinite universes (there might be a universe out there where Time-Wimey stories are actually good but I doubt it).

There was a fair bit of criticism in WoD of this very issue. So I think they’d pushed the Timey-Wimey thing far enough probably.

The only multiverse I would accept would be one in which SL never happened.

We just all woke up from a serious drunken stupor.

Multiverses are limitless, thats why they are cheap. Hard pass.

Thing with multiverse is: There’s no real stakes.
Someone dies? Bring on a multiverse version.
A location is destroyed? We’ll just go there in another reality.
Etc etc.

A setting is better overal without a multiverse unless you use it very very sparingly and have strict rules/limitations about the use of it (For example: Access to other places takes incredible amounts of energy -magical or otherwise- so you can’t ‘just do it’).

Multiverse option exists for lazy writing so multiple writers can write their own thing without having to retcon…

Absolutely loathe such cheap storytelling and why I hate Marvel’s MCU crap to get around gender and race swaps from the original design instead of, you know, being original…

Plus it cheapens any impact of pivotal moments.

But we could have a univers where the bloodelves never joined the horde.

That would spare us many future discussions :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

Let’s not. It’s time to let him go.

In fairness, I think the only way I can see an expansion (Singular, not plural) that tackles such an idea working, is if it’s got the Infinite Dragonflight involved, and it all takes place in the context of you trying to prevent them from altering the timeline. Perhaps small alterations are already noticeable in the present, and you need to help the Dragonflight resolve those before going into the main expansion are being… I don’t know, pick a zone from the past and do stuff there.

HOWEVER… Despite saying that it could work, it is something that can and should only be done once, and only in case of emergency. If you start relying on it for every expansion, it starts to get annoying and repetitive.

ehm… murloc Arthas.

Fun Fact: The Burning Legion already spans all timelines and universes.

So, you´re just asking for the Burning Legion in exactly the same form it already exists in :beers:

i just love to see world warcraft that we are simple dudes going to kill demons or dark or bad dismal villains that are coming to kill our cows and take our land and make it an ugly dark hellish zone. like what happend in legion. or wotlk .
world of warcraft with more simple stories mixed with horror and fantasy is way
better than world of warcraft mixed with mravel and DC comics or superhero movies.

everything went bad since they brought these Cosmic stories and dudes in the game.
with complicated BS stories about time Traveling and Doctor Strange multivers shiz

I don’t want WoW: Marvelverse tbh.
Had enough of that with WoD.

You are mixing up “unlimited potential” with “unlimited amout of “what-if” youtube videos” here.
