I'm happy you alliance fags got Worgen. :V

You can have the morons that came over to play blood elves back.


FOR THE HORDE

thanks for proving my point

Perfectly said. :3 Couldn't have put it better myself.

Hear hear! But without the 'fags' part. I've said it elsewhere, hate losing the Worgen, which is, even by the WoW page informations, an *evil* character, or at least has a huge grudge against the humans who changed and enslaved them.. the least they could have done is put some *effort* into the Horde character. I don't even play now, but aside from the Goblins already being an npc race, they are barely different from Trolls. Take off a Troll's tusks and make him knee high and you have a Goblin. ><, ;p

now I've heard this argument before...

the worgen are an evil character therefore they should go with the "evil" faction horde.

at this point in the lore NO ONE in Azeroth is innocent. in the first 2 games yes it was obvious that the faction you were supposed to be rooting for is the alliance/humans but WC3 kinda messed that up didn't it? the only person that really gets close to being innocent is Jaina Proudmoore and she got her dad killed for it.

also the worgen that they're putting into the game are in the kingdom of Gilneas. Which if you remember has been closed to the outside since the second war upwards of 25 years. I don't think the Gilneans hearts have warmed to the orcs in that time.


this is more of a message to everyone else replying to this image. sorry if it seems I'm arguing with you if there's on thing I hate in WoW is faction drama. I never even kill a pvp active horde outside of a battleground I leave them be. I'm even one of those people who'd think it'd be awesome if they'd put in cross faction party/raiding at some point. but the game is called Warcraft so whatever.

Neh, it'd be pretty easy to win an argument with me anyhow seeing as I don't go into much of the history stuff. Matter of fact, I only played the game all together for a few months. Worgens I would have returned for had they been Horde, and then only because *all* of my friends play Horde.

My statement of the Worgens being evil though, is not an inherent 'oo, big scary wolf man monster thing' but that the rather minor bit of history I know was based on some Alliance wizard creating the Worgens from men and allowing some spread, but it ended up spreading to other humans. Most of this while the Worgens were mostly enslaved, being used as fodder in some war or something. My vote for them being in the Horde, is not so much a 'Comrade!' thing as 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'. 25 years is not nearly long enough to extinguish the prejudices of enslavement. If racial tension is such a huge deal this long after the black-white stuff, think how it might theoretically be in a magical, war bound, ends not the means setting with 'superior' humans and beast men. ;p

Not said with any malicious intent what so ever. I just like to pipe up with my tiny voice in a vain scream of not being able to really play a Worgen. XD Damn you Blizzard! XD

My secondary idea would be, as some people have mentioned the humans 'accepting' the Worgens back and supposedly helping to find a 'cure'. It's an age old tale, many people would *want* to turn back, but many may not. It would have been particularly awesome if they'd developed two strains of Worgen. One being more refined and pretty, struggling to uphold their human side, who would of course be Alliance. And the other, those who gave in to the creature in them and have lost the piece of their humanity that could ever let them return to the humans, thus a brute Horde strain. I think that would also have opened a huge can of worms for all sorts of quests and infiltration stuff. XD

yeah the whole story goes is that during the scourge invasion of lordaeron an archmage in Dalaran, (Arugal) summoned the first worgen as shock troops to protect Dalaran. so in that case they were slaves. but the worgen were uncontrollable and would often times turn on the mages. So Arugal became an outcast took the few remaining loyal worgen and whent into Shadowfang Keep. the disease spread from there and over the walls into gilneas.

I see the starting area for worgens like at first the worgen are tied up to die or to just control them. then after a couple of quests the population of gilneas resign to their fate of being worgens. Then at some point the Night Elves will show up. Now the Nightelves see worgen as the Children of Elune and so they make a direct connection to the alliance.

it's interesting story telling in the least. I actually really like the writing in some of Warcraft's stories. (pretty much anything that surrounds the blade Ashbringer is awesome.)

That definitely does clarify it more for me outside what they had written. ;p You'd think, since there's a good chance they know just how much people read and remember this stuff, that they'd elaborate more for the sake of story telling. It was about time the Alliance got some testosterone thrown into the mix, it's mostly just the disappointment of getting Goblins, blah. There's other small evil things out there, leastwise hobgoblins to allow a more thorough change of design.

eeee Sorry to necro, but the worgen were created by Kaldorei druids who gave into the savagery of Lo'gosh/Goldrinn, and later Arugal summoned the sleeping druids (who had been locked away) from the emerald dream.

You tell 'em! =D

I gotta say, I know I was one of the guys going, "PLEASE let Worgen be Alliance..."

The Horde has enough beastly-looking characters as-is. And now Goblin vs. Gnome Engineering is MORE than just a question, innit? =P

Yeah it is about time they gave us a good race. Awesome pic

For the Alliance! =D
