A new beginning, there’s no other way to save this story regarding the nature of an MMO. You can’t go as far as in an RTS game, you can’t without causing huge reactions, see Teldrassil.
But WC3 did the same, wc3 destroyed the “old world” and gave us a new one (kalimdor), it serves no other purpose than a new beginning.
The fourth war could have been a second WW and its consequences, Europe needed a new beginning after all the hatred and centuries of war, everything was destroyed, and together with the help of the USA it was rebuilt, that at least welded the countries together a little bit, enough that an EU still exists today, and that the West maintains a defence alliance.
Yes, the Horde would have been a blank sheet of paper in the beginning, I agree with you, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing, nothing bad, the actors of Germany were only formed after the new start, and yes, I compare the Horde’s deposit with Germany, I think that’s exactly what the Horde needs, a new white sheet of paper, after the old one became completely…black and got dirty.
Yes, but here you have Anduin on one side and the fanbase…on the other.Anduin and Baine, all well and good, but the fact that the Alliance has to forgive again, that’s something that the majority of the Lore players can’t represent with their own moral convictions anymore. Or could you forgive a genocide…just because they say “we’re not doing it anymore” and change the form of government? That is just not enough…
