WoW: One other thing...

[jadedmusings]

Okay now that I'm done (mostly) squeeing about Vol'jin getting his own book, there's a couple of other questions and answers I spotted that are of interest to me.

Are we going to get more Old God lore in Mists?

I'll tackle the lore part of your question, about the Old Gods.

Obviously the Old Gods have had a major impact all over the world. They aren't directly pulling any strings in Pandaria, however, you can still feel the cold grip of their influence, many thousands of years later. If you're interested in the lore, you owe it to yourself to reach exalted with the Klaxxi faction to learn a little more about their origins.

And they aren't providing tabards for reputation gains for Pandaria factions, so you can't run dungeons for rep like you could in Cata. So, my approximate reaction to this is, "Fuuuuuck, now I have to do the rep grind and dailies." Who wants to join me?

Are Koltira Deathweaver and Sylvanas Windrunner showing up in Mists of Pandaria?

Sylvanas will DEFINITELY play a role in the Alliance and Horde conflict. We might not catch up with her until one of the later patches. We've been debating on whether or not we catch up with Koltira now or later... The guy's in bad straights.[sic]

Oh..my... This is going to suck, isn't it? It's going to make me bang my head against a wall, I just bet.
