I know its your game and this is the bussiness you guys are into but how in the world do you guys keep up with all the seemingly endless lore and story arcs? Somebodys desk must have sticky notes as far as the eye can see. Some insight into the behind the scenes here would be a bit cool, thx.

No I dont want too post with my main so you can LOL his Pathetic Green/Blue's and Horrible Talent spec, I want you too LOL at my Pathetic Grammer skills and Pointless Posts.

the reason im asking is because I was looking up the Ashbringer and the coming expansion and all the parthy involved. Then I got too thinking about all the past storys, the king kidnapped and now returns, thralls childhood, the construction of the gates too outland, the trolls history hero's and villans and on and on. I mean their must be a huge book with lots of bio's on various characters and how they all fit in too each other just too name a few.

Given that they've blatantly screwed up a few times, it's not as organised as you think.

I'll be nicer if you'll be smarter.

They don't. Metzen screwed up the eredar lore, claiming in the forums that he "forgot" the original lore. They're clearly not as organized about lore as you'd like to think.

They reused the name "Hakkar" too, for no good reason.

We have a Historian and a department dedicated to the lore, the characters, and the worlds that have been created. They have a lot on their plates but they do a fantastic job.

We have a flag. Do you have a flag?

Metzen is good like that.

And lore is fine btw. I don't care what people say...

Yeah, they're digging in the ground, but they're dwarves. That's what they were created by the Titans to do. They're like moles with a beard and a drinking problem.

They just keep lore in the headlights of the Blizzmobile. It's those sudden stops that lore makes to pick a path when Blizz runs it over.

Look up who's the one that reused it (hint: it was in the game first). OK, then, there you are.

The Rogue class icon should be a spreadsheet instead of a dagger.

If you get the chance could you please ask one of them about the female broken - as in why aren't there any? Thanks!

There was an open position awhile ago, but I haven't checked on it since I applied (mostly on a "oh why the heck not!" whim, I'm totally unqualified).
