Steel Accord 6,657 September 23, 2015 Share September 23, 2015 @@Akari of Duskshire, Well I personally like Brewfest for the same reason I like Winter's Feast or Hallows End. Or to put it another way, the same reason I like Hearts Warming's Eve and Nightmare Night. They're holidays. Fun unto themselves but also world building exercises. They partially resemble holidays that we have but they have their own mythos. Participating in them makes the world feel the much more real and like you are actually living in this world.

Steel Accord 6,657 September 23, 2015 Share September 23, 2015 Rather similar to the real life versions, but at least they're putting in their own twists. Well it's as I said, Nightmare Night looks like Halloween, but they have their own mythos surrounding it. Our version is based off of a number of Paganistic faiths and the Halloween traditions spring from rituals meant to ward off demons and other supernatural creatures. In Equestria, it comes from fear of Nightmare Moon on the night that she threatened to plunge the world into eternal night. In Azeroth, Feast of Winter's Veil comes from the myth of a great being that blankets the world in a restful snow. Because both the Dwarves and Tauren have a similar figure in their respective cultures, it's likely that this winter walker is, or at least once was, very real. (Perhaps a Titan contstruct? Maybe one of the Ancients/Demigods that was slain in the War of the Ancients?) So "their own spin" is much more than a name change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a movie doesn't have as successful a DVD life as it's theater release, it doesn't cease to be a blockbuster retroactively. And WoW managed to win THIS subscriber at least with WoD so it will always be a smash hit to me, but that's of course my subjective opinion.

XD *shudder* Please, our current situation is nightmarish enough, how many other good people must sit the Frozen Throne? That's sort of like saying that you didn't want to start smoking, so you started doing drugs instead. Well you aren't wrong. A Warlock, as defined by the lore, is an arcane spellcaster who draws their power directly from the Fel energies of the Twisting Nether and their demonic patrons that they've managed to wrestle away from the Legion or weren't working for them to begin with. Thus, an evil mage could be someone who has a malevolent agenda or means, but continues to use the raw "neutral" energies of the Twisting Nether and doesn't consort with demons. (Be it for simply pragmatic reasons of it being very risky, or pride at not needing their help and wanting to become MORE powerful than them on their own. In the tradition of fantasy fiction, that's classically known as a sorcerer.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it becomes panda. You mistake me, I just said I don't think the Pandaren should be Death Knights, I agree with you on that. So there's not reason to Royal Capslock your points at me. On that note, why are you shouting? This is a polite discussion. 3. Dreanei and tauren are FULLY capable of evil. Half of the Dreanei are demon worshippers. Actually, given that Velen was only able to muster a few of his followers and that he was only one of the triumvirate ruling Argus, technically the Light worshipping and goodly Draenei are the minority of their people! The Tauren are just nature guardians and are fully capable of doing evil to achive their goals, even try to master magics beyond their understanding and controll. I was referring to the Grimtotems mainly but that too. Oh don't worry, it's not like it's official art! Yeah I got that, I was just remarking on the possibility.
