That would be nice.
The odd thing about Metzen is that he voices the games most famous Shaman, and plays a Paladin.
So you think they hired him to retcon SL lore and to keep the game from going back there?

Advisor means Advisor.
He’s not coming back. He’s just part of the idea club.

Tell me you don’t know anything about the game industry without telling me you don’t know anything about the game industry.

I guess you have the inside scoop on whether he is a contracted advisor or an actual employee in charge of things.
Go ahead, tell us.

No, nor does it matter since the title is pretty clear in its purpose. Work alongside the creative director to have a collaborative overall experience in one of the only holdouts of top-down design remaining in the industry.
Probably to actually help with the storyboard/arc designs, not much you can do about a giant retcon of 25+yrs of lore boiled down to jailer did it.
Right now DF barely has no direction or any build up, I have no real reason or meaningful connection as to why I should care about the evil elemental dragon.
Do you? ,The major villain for this is expan so far is a back burner at best.

Metzen has written some garbage. I can’t ever forgive him for WoD’s entire plot.
But he clearly loves this world and the characters…and I think that’s something that has been missing from Blizz’s leadership team.

Maybe he’ll retcon the Shadowlands nonsense somehow and we can forget it existed with the whole “lol titans are really the bad guys, see?” story we’re clearly pushing towards

No writer puts out only bangers. Even King has some hot garbage out on the market.

Yes, let’s go back to the boring stalemate of ‘Alliance Bad! No, Horde Bad!’ that can never evolve or grow because it would involve an entire half of the playerbase being written into being defeated by the other half.
