It’s like the giant sword in silithus.

We’ll deal with it later. Our planet is only bleeding out, it’s fine we’ll go deal with the afterlife crisis then fix that after…probably.

We got an update. It’s the first part of the kyrian campaign. Lakeshire is gone. Overrun. Which means presumably elwynn is now in danger.

They had to leave the sword there so the Jailer can tell us “HAHA FOOLED YOU ITS A mOuRRRRnEeEeEEeee BLAAAAAAAAAAAADE!”

(Because he plans to use azeroth’s world soul as a fuel source for what he’s doing in zereth mortis. Yes. It’s true.)

You think the current writing team has the ability to juggle more than one ball at a time?

Wait… you want them to actually stick to a plot line?
The only one they did that with is Goth Waifu Sylvanas, and that’s been going on for a solid 5+ years now, much to the playerbase’s dismay.

Mmmm, brains!

wiggles toes

what if by stabbing Azeroth, we split her soul and now she's a slobbering banshee looking for the universe sized palm tree to burn down for her master the Janitor

Arthas is missing because he pulled a Maw Walker stunt and waltzed out of The Maw and is back taking over Azeroth.

And when we go back, Sylvanas is going to forgive him because she now understands he didn’t do anything wrong, just like her.

She will be like " I forgive you Arthas" and he will see her in her new armor and be like " Hey, I never noticed how smoking hot you are, let’s hook up".

There will be this huge wedding in Icecrown, Anduin will be the flower girl and Bolvar will hold the ceremony.

Then instead of starting anymore trouble, the two will spend the rest of their days arguing over whos turn it is to do the laundry.

All kidding aside: Ben Howell is in Redridge.
The Scourge is in Northrend, and in smaller numbers in Lordaeron.

The assumption for the Redridge attack then would have to be that either:
1 - The Scourge conquered Northrend, Lordaeron, Khaz-Modan, Blackrock, and finally moved down into redridge, meaning a little over half of the Eastern Kingdoms is basically EPL/WPL at the moment.

2 - The Scourge landed airships or something in a coordinated effort to specifically attack the redridge area, which isn’t at all likely… there’s not really anything (known) to be worth that kind of attention there.

3 - The Scourge is just everywhere somehow, Walking Dead scenario where every dying person becomes undead. (kind of disproven since Howell ISNT undead, but Danuser is the writer so I don’t expect things to make sense)

So I think “1” to be the most likely, but I doubt that will be reflected in game at all.

I’m all for this, give us a world boss named “Grimes” with a sheriff hat!!
And have him randomly yell “Karl” during the fight.

I already worked out Grimes’ drop table.

I really can’t wait to see how they handle the Scourge outbreak in-game. Will it be just through dialogue “Oh Champion! The Scourge attacked while you were gone but we pushed them back and then they were no more!” or will there be a little event to play through because I like your first scenario of them over running nearly everything because of their numbers. (And of course everything would have been part of the Jailer’s plan because at this point when isn’t something part of the Jailer’s plan.)

I swear if Magni is there waiting for us saying “Champion!” one more time I’m gonna bonk him on his dwarf head.
