Sorry the update took so long and it's another one of those pesky, text-heavy plot advancing pages. It's a major one that eludes toward two possible characters to join the Cru Party in the future. Who are they? Who is this woman appearing in Cru's dream? You're free to guess and postulate till your fingers bleed! I'll see you all next Monday and be sure to check out my blog Cru the Dwarf: The Inner Sanctum.
This page is dedicated to my grandmother Marilyn who passed away Tuesday afternoon. May she rest in peace.
The game was very different before TBC. Epics took real commitment and there were only a few raid dungeons. Now we get a new epic armor set with weapons every 1-2 months and it's just gotten old and boring. I hardly ever play anymore, I just get on to see how old friends are doing.
Secondly i don't feel that an expansion "Ruins" any game. I also don't feel that WoW has really stopped trying to unleash Lore it's just the simple fact that so few people pay attention to it anymore or ever played the original RTS games on which WoW is based. Personally i was glad to get the blood elves as a player race (i feel the "Too White" Efeet snob attitude is over done a bit but *shrugs* that was just Blizz trying to be humorous. They've always been very tongue in cheek like that.
Also my condolences on your loss Cru.
I'd say that the glowing blood elf would have to be Alexstraza, Aspect of life and queen of Red Dragon Flight. As "guardian of all that lives" she would definitely have a vested interest in stopping the destroyer from returning. Must be working with Nozdormu Aspect of time to bring lothar and either arthas or Uther to the present. At first i thought it was Nozdormu due to all the gold but Nozdormu is male while Ysera and Alexstraza are the only females among the aspects. For your mastery and use of Lore i salute you cru *salute*.
Did the expansion destroy the game like the idea of facets destroyed ultima online?
Tbh I think people give origin little credit for that move. Was brilliant to extend the life of UO, without it I think people would've abandoned it pretty quick if they just got pked or ganked w/e as soon as they left the guards area. But maybe thats just me!
Lore went out the window really fast with wow though so blood elves didn't bother me too much. Most of it is ripped from Warhammer Fantasy Battles anyway, just as starcraft is a copy of Warhammer 40.000 with a brightener tool.
Keep in mind this is all inside Cru's head while he's on a poison frog drug trip and being boiled in a stew. It's possible his fried brain is making it all up and there's no real threat or divine intervention by mysterious outside forces.

The expansion destroyed the game for me. At least draeneis girls came from it, that's the only positive I can see.

I dislike bloodelfs. They destroyed the horde for me.

Tiny rack? Ooo you're gonna get eaten by a dragon, Ozz.

Coooool page.
Ozz at 3:05PM, Oct. 9, 2008
She must be real! Noone from Cru's imagination would have such a tiny rack.
Naughtelos at 3:01PM, Oct. 9, 2008
