Pet Peeve: The Undying

What happened?

As far away from of the Apple production sites in Elwynn as possible.

I like it.

They take a boat over to sell it, dum-dum.

The thing why human sultanate just does not seem plausible to me though is this. Humans only came to Kalimdor first in the Third War. The Wastewanders in lore are also confirmed to originate from people who got shipwrecked there in the year 20 after the Southsea Pirates destroyed what ships they had. Only -then- did they start to adopt the nomadic lifestyle that we see in WoW. Before that time, Kalimdor was only some place they heard about in fairytales, or maybe tales from the elves who came from there long ago. For the rest it was utterly unknown to the humans and orcs when they first landed there.

If we go by the Ultimate Visual Guide Timeline, and if we go with that every expansion is a year in lore, we’re currently in year 33. That’s thirteen years. Definetly not enough time to form a complete sultanate, plus, Uldum was closed off from the rest of the world untill the Cataclysm. Before that time there simply -CAN’T- have been humans living there.

Now I am normally of the sort that I don’t make too much of a fuss about what people rp or not, but atleast stick with the lore and don’t make up things that aren’t there. Contrary to the belief of some, Blizzard’s sandbox -is- big enough to create a whole array of character-concepts -without- inventing things that aren’t there.

End of rant.

Traveller retcons this actually. Aram’s dad has been visiting Gadgetzan since at least the Second War (along with the other humans on his crew, presumably).

Okay, I’ll concede there then, seems some humans already went there. But the rest of my point still stands. I should really see about reading those Traveler books though.

They have some of the better world building for the universe despite being kid’s books, mostly because they’re not focused at all on the “big names” and instead is down-to-earth.

It’s almost like the WarCraft setting can be well-written and engaging when it isn’t being forced to repeat the same two stories about “Horde is evil, we gotta make it not” and “Bad thing come, team up to stop it” with the same cast of 10 overpowered Mary Sues…

Re. Tanarisian humans, they gave a ruling over twitter in regards to the human ancestor spirits clad in Arabian themed gear in that tomb in Uldum were humans who traveled to Uldum before the events of Lei Shen’s conquest that lead to the Uldum barriers going up and shrouding it from rest of the world.

I.e. humans were in Uldum some 13,000 years ago.

Since they’re all soulbound to tombs now I guess that didn’t end well for them lmao rekt humans

Shouldn’t have become bandits smh my head

Also in the Uldum questing, the Tol’vir talk about the Wastewander bandits as though they’ve been there for a while already, what with them having already adopted Tol’vir culture as their own.

Fellas, what if the Uldum barrier only shrouded the Tanaris Pass but not the coastline?

The fact that being in the Onesie transmog makes me appear naked on the forums.

It’s because we don’t want to see it. It’s disgusting!

Weekly reminder that I wish SWTOR hadn’t turned out to be a hot pile of :poop:.

I would have really loved to RP in an Old Republic setting. The game had a lot of potential too, those archive videos they did in the lead up to the launch were dope. Would have been pretty sweet to RP an Imperial Agent, but nooooo.

They really dropped the ball on that one.

My consistent struggle in finding a guild or a community I can devote my time into has made my World of Warcraft roleplaying experience devolve into a “standing around a place, walking and talking to people” extravaganza. It’s growing to the point I feel like I’m wasting my time.

i dont wanna unsub but boy it seems hard for me to find someplace

The setting lends itself poorly to actual RP when you have the superiority of Sith so heavily ingrained into the Empire. Anyone playing a non-Sith has to constantly acknowledge that any Sith RPer could force choke them to death at any time with little to no consequence - not a good start.

It’d be like Garrosh’s Horde or Garithos’s Alliance - when you enable power players to that extent, it causes problems.

pay :pig: life

While I was in a commute from city center to north of city it just happened that today there was a Rugby Match… Turns out where I live, people are really into Rugby which I don’t mind.

But as you can expect… They’re frankly rowdy, loud, brash and often reek of blue cheese and beer.
Tramway was packed full with them and the idiots brought beer with them… They were drinking from one of those starbucks looking coffee cup (I don’t exactly have the exact term in mind.). One of them, despite being told by his buddies not to drink, kept doing so… I was just behind… Driver had to do one nasty hit of the breaks because morons keep crossing the rails… Said beer spilled on me.

Now, I would have just been mildly annoyed if it was just droplets, but it was quite the amount that fell onto my clothes and drenched them… But I was really pissed when he was trying not to laugh while barely apologizing and his friends didn’t say much either as it happened.
