There is potential for a good narrative here, but I’m beginning to think it isn’t a good MMO narrative as it doesn’t account for players. Might research how GW2 and FF14 handle their storylines. Most community discussion is moot as horde players can’t Saurfang it up in BfA.

Maybe that's not the disadvantage of TMNs but their strength? It's like a difficulty setting, you can opt into more or less engagement, so long as the broader strokes hit the right audiences. Good stories HAVE to work on multiple levels.

Admittedly in the context of the War of Thorns and Teldrassil, more clarification was needed in game. Of course, you won't experience the internal monologues you do through books, or the cinematic depth otherwise but in events that hold such gravitas, extra checks are necessary

We're all extremely grateful to have these plot points clarified by this external media but it places a vinegar-soaked plaster on a raw wound. And this isn't the first occassion of such major lore events being backed up and explained tenfold by transmedia.

I've been saying this a lot recently and I don't think WoW's story can compare to some of my favorite stories simply because of how the game itself works, it's really holding the story back from what I think it could be. That aside, I still really do enjoy the story.

But I think the enthusiats that will care about the lore and the writing, and average player dont care this much, only about his dps and loot!

The combination of all the different forms of media Blizzard use to tell their story and data mining means I cant remember the last plot point that I got from the game itself.

I think placing the blame on the external media misses the point. The problem is the lack of player agency in a game were a significant portion of the player base has matured past the faction conflict. I know we’ve never had it, but this narrative only exacerbates the issue.

This is so true. If I didn't spend an inordinate amount of time online watching your videos, twitter and other content creators stuff I would NEVER get the whole story but unfortunately I already paid for transfers before getting the "full story" (so far).
