The Burning Crusade expansion races (and levels 61-70) will not be brought to Wc3:WoW. The majority of people agree that The Burning Crusade was what ruined the gameplay of WoW. Not only its lore was destroyed, but all it became to be about was killing bosses who really weren't supposed to die. Anyway, Hero Classes, New Races, and all that junk won't be added. The most we'll do as far as bringing expansion goodies to Wc3:WoW is items and patched spells. :p

And for those who are too lazy to read the About page at our website, expansion areas won't be present in Wc3:WoW either.

I think getting Kalimdor completed will be more than enough to begin with. Its all ready a s**t load of work to get that done. Orcs, Trolls, Tauren and Night Elves are all well-over enough for me :D

Actually. . .not all the bosses die. . .Let's not forget in wc3 tft illidan seemed dead. . .but that the idea came to be that he was just heavy wounded. In TBC at BT when u defeat Illidan. . .Maiev is there also, and there is this dialogue:
Illidan: What are you Maiev if you cannot hunt anymore?
Maiev:You are right, I am nothing without my hunt. (something like that) so we can safely assume that Illidan will be in a eventually wc4. . .and also. . .Kil'jaden does not die in the sunwell plateau. As we can also notice, Kael'thalas is now evil and with the burning ligeon after he was "killed" in TK The Eye. Indeed some ideas apear radical, but they did tie them very good. . .and I know. . .that they made blood elves at H and drenai at A because of game play and balance rather than Lore, but like I said, they linked them very well. . .I don't find the explanations absurde (like of that why BE have paladins).

^ I read that to. I was absolutely gob-smacked. Not continuing their biggest and most profitable license. They even know that WC3 still has a huge fan-base. So why not give them what they want and make a lot of money out of it? Maybe when they finish SC2 and their new untitled MMORPG (which is rumored to be Diablo) they'll reconsider making Warcraft 4 (as in an RTS title)...

Umm..no..illidan dies in that, Maiev continues with his death. Her being included was to make the lore more "plausible" and it was stated (cant remember source) that Maeiv and "unnamed" heroes (Who assisted her) killed him.

To my knowledge you dont even fight Kil'jaeden.

Its blizzard's game, as I explained at the helper its really what comes to play and what's enjoyable. A game doesnt HAVE to follow its own rules and sometimes it's best to have a bump in lore to make your game more appealing and attract a bigger gaming audience. Its all about money and how you get it.

Anyway, Im...really getting annoyed with this threads by the author, I think he should just keep all his questions in one thread or pm (personal opinion).

I agree, however at least it gets the creators talking and I like to hear what they say :D
