How Can We Redeem/Rebuild The Horde (Actual Horde Edition)

Sure; a common opinion people have repeated is that the “Golden Age” of World of Warcraft was back circa Vanilla - Wrath of the Lich King, or even Cataclysm at the latest.

Of course, given that, you have to know what my follow-up line of inquiry will be. Using the age-old response, “people have been predicting the end of WoW since forever”:

  • The Burning Crusade: “Ok, well, we’ve seen the end of the game, Illidan’s gone. Vashj and Kael’thas are gone. Game over.”

  • Wrath of the Lich King: “Ok, we beat Arthas and the Scourge, now it’s the last expansion!”

  • Cataclysm: “Ok, well now that Deathwing is gone, this was the last expansion! World of Warcraft is over! This time for sure!”

etc.

Taking that into account, then:

  1. To quote Thrall, “What’s different this time?”
  2. Based on your response to Question 1, approximately when do you expect this to occur?

Because people have been saying WoW will end “eventually” for about a decade now.
