Oh I get that. My elf was a very pretty boy. Most people expect gruff hairy bears for guys, or macho sentinels for females in my experience. The number of no-men-allowed Kaldorei guilds was something else.

Darn it. I canât find the old thread where the Story Forums and the Discord were being referred to as a terrorist organization, and a bunch of us jumped on /tg/ for maximum trolling. Or the part where Sam and I went cray-cray Maiev-posting.
Those were some wild days.

I would have to see that actually. 
Itâs why I always struggled to find a place in the alliance or even like the faction from a out of character point of view. Too many people tarnished it for me. I canât even play a draenei now without crying because of the threats I used to get from random dudes.
I even had a guy whisper me once that Iâll be never be a woman and I was like Thatâs nice, because Iâm not trying to be one. 
I am very⌠stubborn, I guess? I have had a male Kaldorei druid since vanilla, and I refuse to not have one.
I will for sure be making a male drakthyr because I CAN BE PRETTY AND BLIZZARD MADE IT THAT WAY.
(so long as they dont fold like they did with male blood elves back in the BC days. They seem to be stubbernly holding out mostly though)

I caved in and bought the Exploring Kalimdor book. I want to see if its as bad as Baal says it is. I trust Baal but that just did more to pique my curiosity, I want to see this train wreck.

I pre ordered the Exploring Northrend book. Out of curiosity. Let me know how the Kalimdor one is.

I absolutely am going to get that one because I want an update to the status of Ulduar to prove to nasayers that Yogg-Saron is not dead. (or to prove myself wrong so I can finally get over this 12 year obsession)

I was curious about the titan stuff and mostly the goings of the scourge and if theyâre still a legitimate threat.
It isnât quite as bad as I expected, but it does have⌠unfortunate⌠entries. I think people expected stuff blizzard never intended to give us.
The mistakes they made in the Kalimdor book did result in them learning and taking those lessons to heart it seems in the design of the Northrend book.

Youâre unlikely to find racist if you arenât already aware of common racist tropes. Without that, itâs just mediocre and keeps the status quo.
oh I am aware of racist tropes.
Honstly the only reason why I wanted to buy it was because I was questing in Silithus this morning and I came upon the bones of Gakkarond (not to be confused with Galakrond) and apparently Rexxar shares the myth of this story in the book and I want to see that. I have no idea why Blizzard would name two different giant beasts Gakkarond and Galakrond and have them not be somehow related, but they also glossed over Xibala being infected with the necrotic affliction too. So thereâs something fishy going on behind the cutrtain here lorewise. Were there other progenitor beings affected with the Necrotic Affliction? where they all? were these Progenitor trifecta similar to Anzu, Rokhmar and Sethe on Dreanor?
As I type this the Amazon delivery guy just dropped it off so bye for a bit lol
One of the first things is right off the bat Velen tells Zekhan and Rexxar they are not welcome in Night Elf lands, but something tells me they are going to go into them anyways for the purposes of this book. I immediately donât like Velen, if you understand the Night Elves pain why did you stay out of the fight? why did you not help? not to stop the Horde, not to help reclaim Darkshore.
ah! âBlackmoss wasnât the only nature elemental to fall to corruption, and he wonât be the lastâ 
thatâs forshadowing, Zekhanâs dad falling in a war relating to an Old God does set up a lot of personal characterization in facing and defeating the Old Gods. Câthun not entirely dead only defeated, one of his eyes (specifically the one gifted to the Horde) went missing. You have to kill all parts of the Old God to truely kill them. if that eye found itâs way into a twilight cultitsts hands (maybe by way of the Grimtotem) he could be ressurected.

I remember when Male Blood Elves could keep dancing while running for a few seconds.
The removal of that was the biggest nerf any race ever got. I still miss doing that.

Only in the Alliance is being a bystander a good, if ânobleâ thing. Easier to get upset at injustice when the victim is thoroughly abused.

Velen has a freaking spaceship if he wanted he could have blasted the Horde in Darkshore without costing a single Alliance life or resource to reclaim it. The Alliance is touted as being âunited as oneâ but itâs still just seperate kingdoms who donât really help eachother unless itâs a world ending crisis. The Alliance is crippled because of the inaction of itâs strongest members.
and didnât we just help Velen and his people when the Legion attacked the Exodar? Iâm just saying, he can return the favor from time to time and still stay a pious old fart who hates conflict.

I just got the KSM mount. Did I enjoy it? No, not a single second of it. I just wanted the mount before it was removed from the game. At least I accomplished that goal before my sub was out.

The cookbook is the only thing worth wasting money on.
This was my experience with WrA.
