Religion diversity in WoW

During the cataclysm when I went to the questlines about Uldum, felt like they have egyptian themes

Enjoyed the questlines so much!

EDIT: Uldum! Not Vol´dun! Im sorry

But yes they seem like Egyptian themes

No. But you have done something much worse. Bringing IRL Religions as a discussion point into the World of Warcraft forums to discuss and attempt to change fictional religions to

You explicity asked for a settings flip switch to change fictional religion symbols into real-life religion symbols.

That’s even worse than just defaming religions in a post (something I also didn’t do, despite your accusation).

Vol’dun is middle eastern/north african and it has it’s own religious interpretation of the nomadic tribes, like the vulpera etc etc. Religion is everywhere of you look. :slight_smile:

It’s not a switch. It is a real life religious symbol, and I asked for it to become either fictional, or include other religions too. This is not against the rules, and you need to improve your english comprehension skills.

And the Trolls who have the loa, inspired by the Lwa religion.

Amazing how many real life inspirations there is in wow

And it’s not just one inspiration, but many for each race.

Night elves have Greek, phonecian, Japanese, and I don’t know what else elements.

Cheers to everyone around the world :clinking_glasses:

If humans are christians and trolls believe in Lwa, that would make them caricatures depcited in a negative way, because trolls are ugly/uncivilised.
It’s also what I don’t like about MoP, where asians are depicted as Kung fu Pandas

I find the troll culture beautiful personally. One of my favorite races in wow along with blood elves

And troll females are beautiful. Well…. There is one good face at least

Asian culture rather than Asian people. Remember, Asian humans exist. we are all humans in real life. What you choose in-game is up to you.

Since you argued Blizzard should add “symbols” to reflect the other religions.

Isn’t the Islamic symbol a moon+ star? which does appear a lot in Night elf/ Nightborne jewelry and architecture.

So the symbols are already there.

Correct me if I’m wrong. It’s a Fantasy game at the end of the day so they can’t just add realistic religions it would be offensive to said religions.

Peace :heart:

I don’t think that’s true. If you look at which characters in wow actually wear middle eastern clothing, it’s clear where they located them. I don’t think just a moon is enough, since with stormwind it’s the main theme. However, if they make Elves more middle eastern to balance out the stormwind stuff, it would probably be a positive. Right now though, elves seem to be inspired by pagan tribes living in forests

There are many races in wow that wear Middle Eastern clothes, likewise Greek, and East Asian

I did mention each race has more than one inspirations. Sometimes Night elves are shown dressed in Asian clothing during lunar festival, other times they are shown on Ancient/Classical Greek clothing.

Blood elves are also like that. Sometimes shown in Celtic Farstrider clothing, other times shown in middle eastern belly dancing outfits and golden jewelry.

Each race has more than one inspirations. So to argue blood elves are middle eastern and that’s it, is not correct.

It would be a positive to you as a person.

But it would be an immense insult to the already butchered Lore of the franchise.

“Yeah sure, let us re-write and retcon old lore into oblivion, just so that 1 guy on the forums from a different religion is happy. Let us ignore all the other people we would hurt along the way”

Great mindset, man /s

Yeah it’s not the best idea

Plus I don’t think Muslims will be too happy to find a mosque in-game which will be raided by half naked Draenei women shooting fire balls everywhere :rofl:
