Azeroth

Saurfang: Anduin, Sylvanas' actions have threatened us all. Day by day, her power grows. If our world is to survive, we must strike while we still can. Meet with me, and we will speak.
Anduin: So few.
Saurfang: How many can you provide?
Anduin: Enough for one final assault. If that fails...we're done. If we end her reign, what kind of warchief will you be?
Saurfang: The Horde are joined at birth to blood. Tainted by corruption. The road that led to the Dark Portal was long and wide. Paved with the bones of innocents. We called it the Path of Glory. That was the great lie upon which the Horde was founded. If anything we did was honorable--Thrall, Vol'jin--they were not the true heirs to Blackhand's bloody legacy. Sylvanas Windrunner IS.
Anduin: No, no, this is the Horde, led by you. Someone that has--
Saurfang: Honor...I've never known honor. They deserve more. The Horde is doomed to be shackled by the chains of the past.
Anduin: The Horde has no exclusive claim to regrets. Arthas, Daelin...The ghosts of the past haunt us as well.
Saurfang: We could not fill the chasm between the Horde and Alliance if we labored a thousand years. You know this.
Anduin: Then what are we fighting for?

Saurfang: Soldiers, on your feet!
Anduin: Start breaking camp, immediately.
Zek'han: Lord Saurfang?
Saurfang: Zek'han, where is our home?
Zek'han: Orgrimmar?
Saurfang: Not our city...our home.
Zek'han: Azeroth.
Anduin: And ours?
Jaina: Azeroth.
Anduin: Right now, there are only two forces in this world that matter. One bent on harming our world...
Saurfang: And one that will protect her!
Zek'han: So, what are we doing?
Saurfang: Breaking the cycle.

YESSSS FAM. BREAK IIIIT. FOR AZEROTH!Comment by Zeejirfinally Saurfang admits it. He has no Honor. All this time he fought for an egoistic goal which can never be achived and he LOVED it.

The screams continued. They reminded him of Shattrath. He had loved the sound, then.
Smoke filled the air, reminding him of Stormwind, of racing through the streets as buildings
burned all around him, finding cowering humans and butchering them as they begged for their lives.
He had loved the slaughter, then.
And he had loved this war, too, hadn’t he?Comment by ArmskulI can hear it, the sound of a thousand angry "Reee's" of several players as they see that their beloved "World of WARcraft" is changing, as the word "Peace" and "Unity" just makes them gargle in even more fuming anger as they start rushing to the Blizzard Forums demanding refunds, demanding Blizzard to stop this pathway, all because they just want a game where PvP reigns supreme and where they just want "Chad Tribal folk vs V***in Pretentious wannabes"

I'm going to prepare the popcorn for it.Comment by BwonsamdiTheDeadIs it just me, of does Anduin's new model make him look kind of like Tidus?Comment by VewtyYou mean like Thrall did? And Vol'jin did? Right before new leaders took over and turned everything back at it was, with a not-insignificant portion of the Horde jumping at the chance to go back to their bloody, murderous roots?

Repetitious.Comment by sallazarownsJesus tapdancing Chrigst what a &*!@show...Comment by ErryCroweIon in an interview some months ago said that Horde vs Alliance is an essential part of WoW and will never go away. So because we know that the major plot points are decided and planned for an incredible amount of time ahead of time (they said one time that they basically have an idea for the story progression for next like 4 expansions) and making the big CGI cinematics takes a very very long time.

So basically this means horde vs alliance conflict is not gonna go away but I'm imagining that PvE content like raids, dungeons, questing (wm off) is probably going to be possible to do cross faction.

Can't say I am totally happy about this, I really enjoy the horde vs alliance conflict in wow, it made the game feel a lot more special and unique than other games. People really are loyal to their faction and that is very cool to see. Even if it stays in the open world and BGs, it will suddenly feel very superficial, and things like doing a dungeon finder with random orcs is just going to feel somewhat off. But who am I to argue against progress I guess.
