I thought about that for a while, but that was at the end of Warcraft III. When WoW officially starts in the canon time line “the drums of war beat again” kind of situation happens.

Thrall and Jaina have a tenuous peace but leveling Horde through Dustwallow for example, you fight and kill many Theramore soldiers. Alliance Night Elves kill off many Orcs in Ashenvale. There’s a lot of this going on all over the world.

It is a series of land holding battles but what’s war if not a fight for control over the land? Unless you’re talking a religious war but you know, let’s not go there.

The one driving force in the Warcraft Universe always has been this never ending conflict between the Horde and the Alliance. Both are good guys and both are bad guys. Tons of old “evil” Horde heroes and figureheads have been killed off in WoW and most if not all the Alliance Heroes were killed off in Warcraft III.

The battlegrounds I imagine are simple nothing more than snippets of “history” locked in time for us to replay them again and again. Like the WoW equivalent of the battle at Gettysburg or Hamburger Hill and so forth. AV, AB, WSG, all seem to have purpose, storyline added to them. EotS makes no sense.

I agree, but i dont know if you’ve checked or not but the war’s over, (ally won ^_^) the only fighting is because of land claims, and the ever present need for resources (wsg, av, ab) and galdiator matches to test your strength.(arena)

Thrall and Jaina made peace between the two factions, sooooo… no more open warfare. (i dont understand the eots fight)

/agreed

While I personally like hanging out in shat after having killed droves of allaince, and slaking my lust for dead gnomes, I do completely agree with the obscene amounts of factions in BC. I haven’t even ground exalted to most of them on my main, cause I just don’t give enough of a shit. I only toughed it out for certain items I needed to get into kara, then it was so long 5 mans,off to raid. Thanks for taking so many months of my life
