Fuck?!

He is gonna say Old Gods corrupted Sargeras?!

And Kil'jaeden and Archimonde lost some coolness points in my book.


Edit: Forgot to say its cool But if Old Gods was the ones that corrupted Sargeras...



((Rise of the Horde looks to be cool))

*He is gonna say Old Gods corrupted Sargeras?!*

He didn´t said that.


I´m happy that he admited his error, let´s see if he can calm down from now on and do his homework before doing his lore.


With this, are you going to play Wow again, Kaziel?

"However, this new lore does leave a large hole how did Sargeras go nuts? What drove him to fall and begin his Burning Crusade? I dont know yet. It will be his encounter with some evil race (who dares me to use Old Gods???), but it wont be the eredar."


=O

Also, "Rise of the Horde" will probably have all of the first chieftains of the Horde, Gul´dan and Ner´zhul also, this book is probably going to rock my sock.

I wonder if I can take his job now?

I'm very satisfied with this turn out. I retract all my previous statements about the Blizzard company not caring about their lore. I look forward to this new book with open arms indeed.

Come Kaziel, come back into the fold. You're one of the few people who help others understand the lore.

Also in case you didn't catch it, when he said "Who dares me to use the Old Gods" he was making a joke. Because of all the posts saying "Sargeras got corrupted by the Old Gods111"

Not the first time he's confessed to being wrong ya know... just the first time we've had concrete facts to back up that we were right. Hakkar for example.

I know, the ScrollsOfLore community takes Metzens Job!
Whatever went wrong with him?

I can write Warcraft4....


"The Orcish Horde is on the move again. After almost destroying all Night Elves and Theramore Humans, they new allmighty Horde sends its fleet to crush all human life on the Eastern Kingdom... Long war, yada yada.... Arthas dies.... It is finally proved to all fanbois on the General Forum that the Burning Legion is NOT smaller than the Scourge. The small hope of peace between the Horde and the Alliance is broken....


Okay, this is the heart of the new game... Just gotta add a little more deep into it, and then it will be ready to crashland into every little fanbois home!

Hakkar the Houndmaster was a elite soldier for the Burning Legion in the War of the Ancients...
I think.

In the War of the Ancients Trilogy, started prior to the release of WoW, a demon named Hakkar the Houndmaster was shown. Shortly thereafter, Hakkar the Soulflayer showed up, and there was a lot of confusion over whether they were the same being, or if they were two separate entities. At BlizzCon Metzen said "My bad!" and admitted that Hakkar the Houndmaster came first, and Metzen made a mistake with the name.

IMO, some peoples on here, (not naming names), are far to harsh with Metzen. The man's only human. He makes mistakes. Whats cooler about the dude is he's man enough to admit them and has admitted about being crushed that he made such a stupid mistake. How many other people can say they'd do the same? Or better yet, how many could say they'd even acknowledge they messed up? Not many. Metzen is one of the few, and it's obvious he was uber hyped up on showing off his new Draeni package to the world. So lay off him a little bit and give the man his due. We all love the lore, thats why we come here. And it's alright if we make mistakes about it. We're only human. Metzen included.

That shit was minor, not a big deal at all.

I agree. My point was that he's admitted to being wrong before. While this is important news, it's not the first time. ^^

Yeah, I am actually a little glad he did not take the story back in a way. Honestly, I think it's a great story. It contradicted earlier stories, but on its own it was an interesting one. As long as they fix the Sargeras thing it should be fine. And as I said in another post, thank god it's not *really* a spaceship. That honestly bothered me more than this thing did. Floating castles I can totally buy. As Chris puts it, "Millennium Falcon[s] cruising around the Twisting Nether" I cannot

I can respect a man who accepts responsibility for his mistakes. This particular failure does not override all his earlier accomplishments, but it does mar them.

I always have respected Chris Metzen, not only for his great story, but also his honesty, and seeing him come and casually tell us that he "screwed up" really makes me feel a lot better about what happened.

Chris Metzen is human, he makes mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes happen because he is passionate about the direction he is taking something else, without realizing that direction goes in the opposite direction of something else he wrote.

I can't wait to read the new novel coming out, and I hope to hear more about Sargeras and the corruption, in whatever form it takes.

What a great day: Metzen confesses he screwed up, he clarifies most of the recent holes in the lore, we find out about a cool new Warcraft pocketbook and I discover I'm not the only Warcraft fan in Portugal

I'm eager to know what race will now be the cause of Sargeras' corruption. It will indeed have to be more powerful than evil than the eredar to make me satisfied.

Aslong as it isnt Old Gods, I am happy.
