So since worgen can't breed they'll die out in timeskip

Sure, because people don’t want to become awesome werewolves.

We already know that Worgen can pass the curse through their blood as seen in Silverpine, and since they weren’t feral, it doesn’t make the infected feral either.

Humans are the most populous race it seems, so they only need a steady supply of willing humans -again, you can choose to become a werewolf!?!?-

As long as there are Humans as a race, there will be Worgen.

Some wouldn’t. Which in my opinion, lends to it being a curse, and makes things dramatic. Alas, I dare not love too deeply, lest I risk damning a child to mine own fate. What beautiful angst!

Only when the detail is not something that Blizzard doesn’t care about.

Good.

That’s one hound dealt with in the long run.

Now we just have to be sure the other dies.

Why do Forsaken defile the dead raise them into undeath?

Because Sylvanas needs more arrows in her quiver

Good thing we’re all immortal, at least as long as the world (of warcraft) exists.

I like to believe its a Teen Wolf kind of deal because the curse is carried in the blood its transmitted to children but doesn’t come into affect till puberty when hormones start to trigger our primal urges :thinking:

I’m sure there are many humans who would volunteer to be bitten and infected with this ‘curse’. Now that the curse is tamed, what’s the downside?

Keep in mind that at this point, being a “race” in the game doesn’t mean having a large population with their own nation. Void elves are a “race,” but basically just a tiny group of followers of a rogue blood elf who got way into the void. And Blood Elves renamed themselves to Blood Elves in honor of the fact that 90% of them died in WarCraft 3 to the Scourge. Blood Elves were supposed to be a decimated population barely clinging on… but practically overnight turned into the most populous Horde race when they were introduced. It’s easy to forget that Blood Elves, lorewise, are supposed to be a fraction of the prior High Elf nation. So Void elves are like a fraction of a fraction of a nation.

Or another example - Pandaren players aren’t representatives of any kind of larger pandaren nation, they’re disciples of one of two schools of thought (Huojin vs. Tushui, depending on whether you go Horde or Alliance) that developed among a tiny splinter group that left their continent to live on a wandering turtle. Another fraction of a fraction of a nation.

You could easily still have worgen with a time skip and it wouldn’t need to be some national curse lingering on the population as a whole. The explanation could be as simple as the Gilnean nation keeping as an organization an elite military order that undergoes the worgen curse to both enhance their power and protect against undeath (even if the Forsaken were to disappear, it’s not like undeath as a general power disappears as a threat).

It isn’t tamed, look up the worgen heritage quest

It’s not a curse as it would protect your kin from ever becoming forsaken. Your just looking at this all wrong. It was a curse when we couldn’t control it and became wild animals. Now that we can control it, it’s the best way to protect your family from one of the true evils of the horde. Being raised as an undead to fight for them against your kin and friends.

He’s getting more zaddy with each expansion, if that’s what you mean
