The Burning Cursade is upon us!
January 24, 2007 at 2:32 pmYeah yeah, World of Warcraft, the greatest timesink since women, just recently got an addon. And it is even more addictive than the old program. Everything seems to be not easier, but not as time-consuming as it was in the original. Blizzard really tried to up the ante on quests, instances and the world itself. Instances are faster, there are no more 40 man raids which were an administratorial catastrophe most of the time, and much more little fancy things that make life in Azeroth and now the Outlands easier.
But because every RPG addon needs a new class and/or race, and Blizzard decided not to add a new class, there are two new racees which seem to be kinda forced into the World of Warcraft timeline. Horde got Blood Elfs and Alliance got Draenai. While the Blood Elfs where there from the very beginning in the timeline, the Draenai were not, and they sure as hell were not nice noble warriors of light, there were (and still are, as can be seen in the outlands) demons.
And I for one don’t think demons ought to be Paladins. Well neither are Blood Elfs per se, but the unofficial title for Elf Paladins is Blood Knight, so at least from a fluff view that is almost correct.
But the backstory of the Draenai… is another matter, one which Dark Legacy Comics put into view much better than I could describe it with words:







yeah man… the phrase “the greatest timesink since women,” just fit perfectly… i mean i do not play, the only thing know about wow is, what happens to people i know who play….
and i gonna tell ya, it is getting worst…. i never had read so many about digital worlds like wow, second life,… in newspaper before now… tendency increasing …
