guys guys, how come NOBODY has said a peep about the moonkin incarnation models? Personally, I think they are absolutely horrible.
If that's the best they can come up with (as it is I don't like the moonkin model, period) I may as well stick to the glyph to make boomkin mode into celestial ghost mode.

I have a question for the regular posters in this thread. Is this an off-topic thread like the ones in the class forums?
It sort of looks like one but the conversations that takes place is far more on-topic than all the other off-topic threads. So, just wondering how you all felt about it.

We try to keep this on-Topic, but occasionally it can break off into an off-topic discussion every so often. The closest thing this forum has to an off-topic is the Open RP Q&A.

We meander here, but it's steadily on topic for Lore based questions. As Morec said, our Q&A's are our true off-topic locations.

yep, as others have said, this thread is (for the most part) to ask general lore questions that don't really merit a thread of its own, and to take part in lore discussions/debates.
ufff, you should had been here when WOTLK was in full stride :P the discussions related to the wrathgate, the blight, battle for UC, and stuff like that really reached the highest levels of participation this board has ever seen.
Sometimes it does wanders off into off-topic but not for long

There's no new lore to discuss, basically.
and this is the reason why this board and specially this thread saw so little activity on cataclysm.
Whereas WOTLK was highly polarizing with the fanbase and had plenty of room for discussion, in cata............ there's nothing. Lorewise this expansion was very weak.
I'm hoping they corrected that mistake on MoP.

Oh yeah; lots of new lore coming down the pipe.

Thanks for the feedback.
I only ask because off-topic threads can be afforded a bit more of a relaxed feel and things like meme links are fine. I think the issue with those meme links (and I don't mean to pick on Sold here, this applies to other things like quote pyramids, meme replies ("cool story bro") or just random off-topic remarks) is that when you're having a discussion with someone, you should respect the effort they went to when making their post enough to reply properly. In an off-topic thread there's much less formality and nobody gets offended if, instead of crafting a well-thought reply to their post you do something a bit silly instead.
How about we play it by ear a bit for this thread? If it's getting a bit off-topic and "chatty" then let's not worry if things also get less formal but if someone's actually discussing something or making a point then maybe that's not a good time to use a meme link etc.
We could just see how it goes. Feel free to give about it. You all know how this thread and this forum works much better than me.

In other words asakawa; all we ask is that people treat the General Lore Discussion thread like a debate thread or the like, and not like an RB; I will keep on reporting meme links, since they don't belong in this thread.

Aye fair enough. I'll likely moderate them if they're used instead of a reply in a proper discussion but I won't worry if people are generally joking around. Hope this sounds fair.

If the response is just a meme, I agree it doesn't need to be here. If they put in a long well thought out response, I can see that being different, and they just toss the meme on for the heck of it, that I can see going past.

Anyway, Black Prince Involved In Pandaria, What In The Hell?
Well he said he was going to be traveling...and really, I hope his bodyguards keep the names of Left and Right when it goes live, just to show how little consideration the Blacks have for mortals.
I honestly dislike the idea of "Left and Right" because :
a) Too many games have done this already
b) It's actually more respectful than disdainful in a you are my "Left hand/Right hand" way.
They could name them something like Dexter and Sinister.

I still don't get why would someone think MoP is a childish expansion.

Because of Pandas, and the fact they're simply looking to start ripping on Warcraft as early as possible.

Because it is still a goofy and dumb looking Panda?
Also, just wondering, as there been anything new on Sylvannas and her seeming descent into toal madness? Or did she get swept to the side this expansion?

Lucky, just like every other race; you don't have to play one if you don't want to.
