What if Kul Tiras...2.0

[Heinvers]

Now, aside form the obvious threads over there....anything plausible you guys think about it?
Besides the technical/scale issues of putting it there excuse.

Would be a great ally/troop/navy provider against the Legion(there's my reason for the inclusion).

Debate and throw your share of pint in it.

It would a good way of expanding on Jaina's story

As you may or may not know Kul Tiras was originally planned to be in Cataclysm but some time during the beta they scratched the idea, if you look at old beta footage though you can still see Kul Tiras troops as well as a portal to the location. Considering that it was planned in Cataclysm Kul Tiras seems to be a location that Blizzard has wanted to implement into the game for quite some time. The question though is when if ever will we get to see it?

As for whether or not we'll see it in Legion, I hope we will but I also doubt we will. Blizzard has announced some of the main characters that we will follow which are Illidan, Maiev, Genn Greymane, Sylvanas, Gul'dan, Kadgar, Anduin, Xavius, Athissa and Dargrul. None of these really have any ties to Kul Tiras not to mention a lot of other stories also seems to be going on, Ysera, Cenarius, Malfurion and not to mention there's a new faerie dragon model which suports my theory that Brightwing will make her first appearance in Legion. Not to mention Lunara, Odyn, Black Rook Hold, the blue dragonflight, Neltharion, a new elven race and who knows what else. To put it shortly I do not think we'll be seeing Kul Tiras in this expansion.

This would be as good time as any to bring them on board. However, as Razosh said, it seems unlikely do to so many other stories they could potentially (or definitely) be working on in this expansion. I'm all up for it, but, apart from storytelling reasons, it wouldn't be very practical or useful, at least from my perspective. They can't bring it back out of the blue just like that (considering they've been ignoring them so far). They would have a lot of catching up to do, as well (storywise, mostly).

I agree I'm even pondering whether or not it would be most useful for Blizzard to say that the island was destroyed in the Cataclysm. I do think that if they did this right they could make Kul Tiras a good asset but considering the quality of Blizzards story telling since Cataclysm I wouldn't get my hopes up. Blizzard is a weird company in that aspect, the fan-boy in me wants them to succeed so f-ing badly but experience has also taught me not to trust them...
