@iSheep:
To be fair, I only played WoW vanilla, but I followed the lore of WoW for a time since I'm a fan of warcraft from the first hour. And of course, they didn't fuck up the lore of the whole franchise, but they created some heavy plot holes (for example the whole Draenei mess) and really downplayed the strength of some major players.
For example, you could already beat C'thun in WoW vanilla, which doesn't make any sense at all, because his presence alone would be alone to defeat a giant army. The only ones who should have been able to defeat him would be one of the titans, but I guess 40 people are enough to kill a being who even the titans couldn't kill, only banish.
Same goes for the head dragon of the blue dragonflight, who did get killed in the addon of Northtrend, who should be able to kill a mortal by just looking at him.
They did a good job with Illidan, who got killed by Maiev Shadowsong, but they didn't honor all these big names with the same respect they deserve.
And the thing with the community is a little problematic for me, since I realize I could join a guild only with people I like, but that kind of defeats the purpose of playing a MMORPG for me. I want to interact with as many people as people, go slay dragons and shit with random players, but that proved to be impossible.
Of course, not the whole community is horrendous, but from my experience, 90% are.
I can live with some assholes, but the server I played was full of kiddies and assholes, which kind of ruined the game for me.
Maybe things have changed, I don't know, I don't even keep up with the lore anymore, but my first experience ruined the game for me (which was a pretty fun game by itself).
Looks like the only thing I can hope for is Warcraft 4…
The head Dragon of the blue dragonflight was killed with the help Red dragonflight dragons, LK was killed with the help of heroes like Tirion Fordring, Ilidan was killed with the help of Akama and Maiev heroes of Warcraft lore, Yogg Saron was defeated with the help of the watchers, KJ at half power was vanished back to the Burning legion planet wi with the help of one of the strongest Blue dragons and a godess wich sacrificed herself to do it, Ragnaros is getting killed finally with the help of the Hyjall gods, Avianna/Tortola/Malorne/Cenarius etc wich in the questlines we help ressurect by assisting Ysera the green dragonflight leader.
The draineis was a plothole and people still say that but dont base an entire game lore on one plothole, their designs changed fuck it the old one still exist as broken and it was kinda explained even if people dont accept it, plus I wont enjoy the game less because blizzard might have failed in one of the races lore when I have 10 races and even though the lore might be fucked a lot of people like the current Draneis(even though I only play Horde I like them, the old ones Broken Draeneis are much cooler though).
The server if you only played at that time , well just change server and now the player base is much bigger, just change server Im sure you didnt have anything special between those 2-3 months of playing that stops you from starting again in a new one.
LOREWISE its not only 25 peeps there.
Edit: Archimonde is not a time travel quest, its a raid and its a recreation of the Wacraft 3 battle, you have the help of the same people in that fight as you did in Wacraft 3, Thrall, Jaina, etc, at the end of the fight the spirits come bomb him just like in Warcraft 3 and thats how he dies, the Caverns of Times quest are a recreation of old battles, we are getting the War of the Ancients in the expansion and we will probably ban Sargares back or fight Azshara there with the help of the dragonfligths, Cenarius, Broxigar Saurfang, Krasus, Rhonin, etc.
We will get the help of many heroes to beat Deathwing for sure, Including the other dragonflights wich he want to finish, looks to me like you are seeing some whiners opinions instead of actually reading the lore or trying to understand it but thats just my opinion :P and yeah Silence try to explain stuff instead of just saying that he has the right to have an opinion and we have the right to prove him right or wrong.
Anyway I dare you to try again :D, the game is a lot easier for a new player to understand now with the coming experience, the tutorials that they implemented help a lot and the gameplay is 100x better then vanilla were 70%+ of the trees were useless, nowadays you can be anything if you are a warrior and have a DPS spec you can DPS not just Tank like in Vanilla and like I said the player base is diferent you have a lot of assholish elitist, normal casual players, PVP retards who say PVE is too easy but if you take him to a raid constantly dies in a fire,etc the range is very wide and if you are not happy with the German servers just go to an English one like i said you are bound to find assholes everywhere though but if you actually tell the guy that you are new to the game if he is reasonable he wont keep bashing or being an asshole to you atleast I wouldnt.
