Long, long ago, buy wow goldwhen dinosaurs roamed
Azeroth and barely anyone I knew had buy wow goldtheir
epic mount, buy wow goldwe used to argue about what
would happen if the tiger mount dropped in ZG. buy wow
goldThis was back when the epic mounts themselves were the expensive part, not the
training. buy wow goldThere were two different schools
of thought on the subject. buy wow goldThere were some
who buy wow goldthought that people without an epic
mount should get first dibs, buy wow goldas it would
essentially be buy wow goldonly a cosmetic upgrade for
people who had their epics. buy wow goldThe other people
thought that epic mount-holders shouldn't be prevented from rolling on a rare, awesome thing
just because buy wow goldthey had taken the time to farm
for their epic. buy wow goldThis argument largely died
when the cost of mount training became buy wow goldthe
expensive thing. Or did it?buy wow gold
Recently, wow golda guild on my server killed Kael'thas
and received the Ashes of Al'ar, wow goldalso known as
the phoenix mount. wow goldThe guild leader/master
looter linked all the loot, wow goldsaid that they would
discuss the phoenix mount later ... wow goldand after
the rest of the loot was handed out, wow goldproceeded
to masterloot it to himself. wow goldA few officers of
the wow goldguild defended his actions by saying that
some officers had encouraged him to take it, wow
goldwhich somewhat neglects the fact that this guild runs on DKP instead of officer
loot, wow goldand that running a guild is a tough job
that deserves some extra recognition.wow gold
This has prompted World of Warcraft Golda spirited
discussion about what to do when ultra-rare World of
Warcraft Goldmounts drop. World of Warcraft
GoldThere seems to be five options here: masterlooting it to yourself, having everyone
roll, World of Warcraft Goldhaving everyone with 300
skill roll, World of Warcraft Goldbidding DKP, or having
everyone with 300 skill bid DKP. World of Warcraft
GoldMost people I've talked to seem to think that masterlooting it to yourself is a
cheap option, World of Warcraft Goldbut are undecided as
to whether you should have World of Warcraft Goldto have
300 riding skill to roll. World of Warcraft Gold
Personally, cheap wow goldI think that this would be an
excellent opportunity to use a bidding DKP system, cheap wow
goldeven if you have fixed DKP values cheap wow
gold(like my guild does) because it's hard to assign worth to a cosmetic upgrade. That
way, cheap wow goldpeople who really, really want a
phoenix mount can blow all their DKP to get it. World of
WarcraftWhat do you think guilds should do about rare mount drops? Is it really a ninja
if the masterlooter takes something? World of
WarcraftShould guild/raid leaders get some sort of bonus when it comes to loot
distribution?World of Warcraft

This Build is Execellant for Farming a Variety of Areas, Including but not limited to. Trolls outside of Droknars Forge, Hydra's in Hard Mode out of Augury. That is where i have really tested it and found it to work wonderfully.
If Farming Trolls out of Droknar's Forge. I would Swap Insidious Parasite, With Awaken The Blood. Due to the Frequent Over Aggroing, of the Large Groups of Trolls.
Equipment: Essential: 5 Superior Runes, each bringing your Health down 75 Points A -50 Hp Grim Cesta, Found in the Cities of Ascalon mission That is all that is essentially required for this build, but i recamend also having a Totem Axe, and a Kepkhet's Refuge. Both Because of there +20% Enchantment increase, and +5 Enegry
Counters: As with any 55 build any type of Enchantment Removal is Deathly, so avoid those mesmers.
Example Use:
Hydra Farming on Hard Mode
Walk out of Augury Rock. As soon as your out, Cast Essence Bond, Balthazar's Spirit, and Mending. Proceed toward Hydras, before aggro'ing said hydra's, Cast Protective Spirit. Proceed to Aggro a few Hydra's. Watch out for over aggro. You should have enough time on Protective Spirit to grab a few of them and get the first round of Meteor out of the way, and not take get to low on Health. As soon as you can, cast Protective Spirit again, followed by Healing Breeze. Watch The Battle Start to unfold, and keep Protective Spirit up as well as Healing Breeze. Cast Watchful Spirit. This Step is not so Important, but i like to have it up because if i start taking more damage then my 10 pips of health regeneration can heal, it can be dismissed for a quick heal of 40 Hit Points, with Divine Favor of Zero, and it adds a couple of Pip's of Healing in the start of battle. After the Battle has leveled out and you know your going to survive it. Cast Awaken The Blood. Now this is not important, but it speeds up the process very quickly, if you get it off, immediately cast Spiteful Spirit. You should be doing approximately 41 damage each attack or spell to all enemy's around you. If not damaging all try to back up and get them closer together. With Awaken the blood active when you cast Spiteful Spirit. There is no need to recast Spiteful Spirt unless 1 runs away from AoE Damage. Not Likely but possible. They Should be Dead Before Spiteful Spirit .

Get DirecTV, play WoW free for 11 months
For those of you who are interested in satellite television (and in the USA), DIRECTV is currently running a promotion for new customers: if you subscribe to DIRECTV and activate your account, you get a code good for 11 months of game time. In case you don't already have a copy of the game, they'll also give you a code good for upgrading a trial account into a proper account, which also comes with a free month of game time. So that's 11 months for existing WoW players, or a copy of WoW and twelve months for new players.
Note that this offer doesn't apply to existing DIRECTV subscribers, and also that they won't give you a BC upgrade code, so you'll have to buy that yourself ($40) if you don't have it already. But if you're looking to set up satellite TV service, you should jump on this -- even at the cheapest subscription rate (buying six months at a time), 11 months is worth $143. What's better than WoW? Free WoW.

Think you can do a better job?
Many players insist loudly and long that they could do a better job then the Blizzard devs. If only they had the 3 years and $20 million required to create an MMORPG these days? Now they don't have that excuse any more.
Say hello to Multiverse, a free software development kit (reg required) that gives you all the tools you need to build your own MMORPG. Quests, Inventory, movement, combat and monster AI functionality is already built in plus a free set of starter assets is provided. They not only provide code and content, but customers as well. Any player who has played one Multiverse MMOG can play any Multiverse MMOG with the same program. And Multiverse handles all financial transactions.
What's left? Your creative vision of what an MMORPG should be. It wouldn't hurt if you had art design skills, modeling talent or class balancing experience. What does Multiverse get out of it? 20% of your revenue. Not a bad deal for all the free service they provide upfront. They also provide a movie of their GDC 2007 presentation that showcases early builds by some pioneering developers.
So knowing nothing stands between you and your vision of WoW 2.0, what kind of world would you make?

Guild banks are now scheduled for Patch 2.3
Guild banks were initially intended to go live with the Burning Crusade launch. Apparently Blizzard wasn't happy with them and postponed their implementation until "a later date." That date has been confirmed by a blue on the WoW Europe forums as Patch 2.3.
According to this preview article, guild banks are designed so that every member of the guild can deposit or withdraw cash or items. Limits on transactions can be set so a new recruit doesn't walk off with all the good stuff. Also, all activity will be viewable by the guild so the guild officers can't keep the best things for themselves without everyone else knowing.
My favorite feature of the new guild bank system is the ability to use guild funds when paying for repair costs. A new button will appear on all repair NPCs and repair-bots. This function can also be set by the guild leader to work for only certain ranks within the organization.
Soon we'll be saying goodbye to the guild mules and hello to an era where guild resources are viewable, if not available, to all.

Know Your Lore: Troll history
Woo, Zul'Aman is coming. buy wow goldAnother dang troll instance. buy wow goldAnother fight against my brothers and sisters. buy wow goldAnother slog through endless high priests and animal aspects. buy wow goldAnother raid of "Sorry there, buy wow goldI thought you were one of the mobs so I was trying to fight you." buy wow goldWe've killed so many trolls now, buy wow goldI think it's about buy wow goldtime we know what we've been fighting.buy wow gold
Troll lore is cheap wow goldextremely interesting, but it's also ridiculously confusing. cheap wow goldI mean, how many cheap wow goldtroll tribes have we launched genocides against by now? cheap wow goldHow are all these trolls related, cheap wow goldanyway? Do any trolls actually get along with other trolls? cheap wow goldRead on, cheap wow goldand we'll try to sort through some of the muddy tangles of troll history. cheap wow goldNext week we'll actually get to Zul'jin himself, who was originally the focus of this article before it got horrendously long. cheap wow gold
Who: Trolls!
What: Trolls!
History: First, wow goldbefore this gets too confusing, let's do a basic summary of the wow goldsort of trolls you're going to run into in WoW, wow goldso you can connect the names with the in-game models. wow goldJungle trolls are the skinny dudes in the Temple of Atal'hakkar, Stranglethorn Vale, Zul'Gurub, wow goldand Darkshore. The Darkspear trolls -- the playable race of trolls -- wow goldare also jungle trolls. wow goldForest trolls include the troll enemies in Hinterlands, LBRS, wow goldGhostlands, and Eastern Plaguelands, wow goldand the Horde-friendly Revantusk trolls. wow goldIce trolls are found in Northrend and Dun Morogh, wow goldand sand trolls are the guys in Zul'Farrak. wow goldA basic troll identification guide is skin color. wow goldForest trolls are green, wow goldjungle trolls are blue/purple, ice trolls are white/light blue, wow goldand sand trolls are beige. An excellent guide to troll looks can be found here. What? We're not racist.wow gold
Now that we've got that out of the way, World of Warcraft Goldthe story can begin. World of Warcraft GoldMany, many years ago, World of Warcraft Goldthere was a troll tribe called the Zandalar. These were the original trolls, and they valued knowledge, World of Warcraft Goldspirituality, and peace. World of Warcraft GoldThey built a beautiful capital city named Zuldazar on the content of Kalimdor, which was at that World of Warcraft Goldtime the only continent on Azeroth. World of Warcraft GoldSome more warlike trolls decided to split World of Warcraft Goldoff from the priest-based society of the Zandalar and headed to the far north and far south of Kalimdor. World of Warcraft GoldThere they founded two warring empires: World of Warcraft Goldthe Amani Empire and the Gurubashi Empire, World of Warcraft Goldnamed after the troll tribes at their heads, but better known as the forest and jungle trolls. World of Warcraft Gold
The troll tribes became bitter enemies, World of Warcraftbut faced a greater challenge when a new race came along: the magical night elves. World of Warcraft(There was also something in there about fighting the Qiraji insectoids, World of Warcraftbut like everything else with the Qiraji, it sucks and we're going to pretend it never happened.) World of WarcraftThe night elves quickly dismantled the troll empires while expanding their own territories. Defeated, the trolls developed a seething hatred for the elves, World of Warcraftwhich was not improved when the Burning Legion came to town and the Well of Eternity imploded, World of Warcraftsundering the continent. World of WarcraftThe Zandalar tribe was all right, since their city had somehow survived intact to become an island and a troll mecca in the South Seas. World of WarcraftHowever, the jungle trolls and the forest trolls didn't have it quite as good.
Jungle trolls: buy wow goldThe two troll empires managed to rebuild some of their buy wow goldold territories in the Ghostlands and Stranglethorn Vale, buy wow goldbut the forests were tough and they barely survived. The Gurubashi Empire turned to worshipping the god Hakkar, buy wow goldwho helped them expand buy wow goldtheir territory across much of the continent. buy wow goldBut the god turned into a bitter and cranky deity, buy wow golddemanding blood sacrifices buy wow goldand finally asking to be summoned into the world. buy wow goldThe Atal'ai and Hakkari priests acquiesed for different reasons, buy wow goldand built the Temple of Atal'Hakkar and (eventually) Zul'Gurub. The rest of the jungle trolls disavowed and attacked these priests while continuing to fight among themselves. buy wow gold
Eventually, cheap wow goldthe small Darkspear tribe got sick of getting picked on and cheap wow goldset sail across the sea, cheap wow goldwhere they landed in a cove off of Kalimdor. One day, cheap wow golda fleet of green-skinned, cheap wow goldstocky creatures showed up on the island after their cheap wow goldships were damaged in a storm. cheap wow goldThe greenskins were orcs, and they and their leader, cheap wow goldThrall, were welcomed by the Darkspears and their chief, cheap wow goldSen'jin. cheap wow goldSen'jin warned Thrall that the island held many dangers, cheap wow goldincluding ... cheap wow goldMRGLEMRGLEMRGLE. A tribe of murlocs captured Thrall, cheap wow goldSen'jin, cheap wow goldand some of their countrymen. cheap wow goldThe murlocs imprisoned everyone but Sen'jin, cheap wow goldwhom they took away to sacrifice to a sea witch. cheap wow goldThrall and his men broke out of the prison, cheap wow goldbut they were too late to save Sen'jin, cheap wow goldwho was dying from his sacrificial wounds. cheap wow goldSen'jin told cheap wow goldThrall he had seen a vision of Thrall leading his people to Kalimdor. cheap wow gold
To repay the trolls for helping his people, wow goldThrall offered them a place in the New Horde, and a home in Durotar. Vol'jin, the son of Sen'jin and the new troll leader, wow goldaccepted the offered and set sail for Kalimdor. They created a new homeland in the Echo Isles. However, wow golda troll witch doctor, Zalazane, wow goldstarted turning the Darkspear trolls into zombies. Fearing for his people, wow goldthe (level 70 elite) Vol'jin ordered his (levels 12-14) people to abandon their new land to the (level 10 non-elite) Zalazane. wow goldThe trolls created Sen'jin Village instead, wow goldwhich still stands today as wow golda monument to Vol'jin's inability to do simple math.wow gold
Forest Trolls: wow goldUnlike the jungle trolls, the forest trollsdidn't fall into worshipping evil gods, wow goldpreferring to stick with the simple, wow goldold-time religious practices of voodoo and cannibalism. Instead, their threat came from the outside. wow goldThe Amani Empire had spread across most of northern Lordaeron, wow goldand the trolls were very happy until ... wow goldguess who showed up? wow goldThose damn arcane magic-addicted elves again, wow goldexcept this time they were called high elves. wow goldThe trolls were still pretty upset about the world being destroyed and attacked the elves. wow goldThe situation did not improve when the elves decided to make the city of Quel'thalas on top of some troll tribes, wow goldand also build magical wow goldrunestones to drive the trolls further away. wow gold
The races lived in wow goldan uneasy stalemate for several thousand years. wow goldBut during the reign of King Anasterian Sunstrider, wow goldthe forest trolls decided to strike back and raid Quel'thalas. wow goldOutnumbered, wow goldSunstrider called on the humans of Arathor to help him, wow goldand the new alliance shattered the troll empire. wow goldThe trolls were understandably pretty angry at this, wow goldso when they found wow goldout that the humans and the elves had joined this newfangled "Alliance" wow goldthat was fighting the "Horde" -- wow goldand the chieftain of wow goldthe "Horde" offered to take them under his wing -- wow goldthey joined together again and signed up for Hordedom under Zul'jin. wow goldThey provided a lot of forces to the Horde, wow goldbut when the Alliance turned the tables and defeated the Horde, the forest trolls abandoned their new allies and went home. wow gold(More on this next week.) wow goldA small group of forest trolls, the Revantusk Tribe, wow golddecided to join Thrall's new Horde, wow goldbut the rest reverted to their savage ways.wow gold
Other trolls: World of Warcraft GoldBlizzard's troll history site has a fascinating section World of Warcraft Goldon all sorts of weird trolls. World of Warcraft GoldThe ice trolls, World of Warcraft Goldfound in Northrend and Dun Morogh, World of Warcraft Goldwere exiled from the Zandalar for being brutal and bloodthirsty. They're the sworn enemies of the dwarves. World of Warcraft GoldThe sand trolls ended up stranded in Tanaris after the Great World of Warcraft GoldSundering, World of Warcraft Goldand got all sunburnt and red. World of Warcraft GoldThey built the city of Zul'Farrak and worship a World of Warcraft Goldgod named Gahr'zilla, World of Warcraft Goldwhich makes me feel bad about all the times I destroyed Zul'Farrak. I mean, we're pretty much doing the World of Warcraft Goldbidding of the expansionist goblin trade princes World of Warcraft Goldand destroying the native inhabitants of the land.
The dark trolls are rare trolls, World of Warcraft Goldsometimes thought to be a myth. World of Warcraft GoldThey live underground, World of Warcraft Goldhave a primitive society, World of Warcraft Goldand are seen as violent even for trolls. World of Warcraft GoldHowever, World of Warcraft Goldthe dark trolls joined the night elves to fight the Burning Legion on the slopes of Mount Hyjal, World of Warcraft Goldshowing that they cared about the fate of the world.World of Warcraft Gold
So what happened to the Zandalar? World of WarcraftAs mentioned earlier, World of Warcraftthe Zandalar were the first trolls and arguably the most civilized. World of WarcraftWhile most of the trolls eventually became members of the Amani and Gurubashi empires, World of Warcraftthey still revered the Zandalar as the priests and history-keepers World of Warcraftof the trolls. World of WarcraftAfter the Great Sundering, World of Warcraftthe nation of Zandalar and its capital, World of WarcraftZuldazar, became an island in the South Seas due World of Warcraftto the priests' protective spells, World of Warcraftand the Zandalar World of Warcraftretreated deep into their studies. World of WarcraftRecently, a small group of Zandalar trolls has come to Yojamba Isle in Stranglethorn Vale. They're there to encourage adventurers to go into Zul'Gurub and defeat the murderous troll god, Hakkar the Soulflayer.World of Warcraft
The most awesome thing about buy wow goldthe Zandalar and Zuldazar buy wow goldis that their island home is a strictly neutral territory, buy wow goldwhere all trolls of different tribes can come buy wow goldand mingle without fear of attack. buy wow goldAnd they actually do that! Every six years, buy wow goldemissaries from every troll tribe come to a conference in Zuldazar to discuss troll issues, buy wow goldled by the troll King Rastakhan. I strongly suspect that if the South buy wow goldSeas/Undermine is ever added into WoW, buy wow goldZuldazar will serve buy wow goldas (finally) a troll capital city.buy wow gold
I'm a member of the Alliance, wow goldand I think trolls are beastly, savage cannibals. wow goldCan you tell me anything that will make me hate myself? wow goldOkay. In all probability, wow goldnight elves are descended from trolls. wow goldAn in-game book, "The Twin Empires", wow goldcontains the following passage: "Ancient texts speak of a small wow goldfaction of trolls that broke off from the Amani Empire and founded their own colony in the heart of the dark continent. wow goldThere, these brave pioneers discovered the cosmic Well of Eternity which transformed them into beings of immense power. wow goldSome legends suggest that these adventurous trolls were the first Night Elves, though this theory has never been proven."wow gold
Trolls are the first race on Azeroth, World of Warcraft Goldnight elves are the second, World of Warcraft Goldand trolls and night elves have very similar appearances. It is strongly suspected that night elves are World of Warcraft Goldtrolls that wandered too close to the Well of World of Warcraft GoldEternity and mutated. World of Warcraft GoldHowever, World of Warcraft Goldnight elves get very angry when you mention this, World of Warcraft Goldand say that it's a way for trolls to marginalize night elf accomplishments and deal with their defeat by the early elves. World of Warcraft GoldThe night elves believe that they are descended from the goddess Elune herself, World of Warcraft Goldfurther proving my theory that elves are jerks.World of Warcraft Gold

Now that we've got that out of the way, World of Warcraft Goldthe story can begin. World of Warcraft GoldMany, many years ago, World of Warcraft Goldthere was a troll tribe called the Zandalar. These were the original trolls, and they valued knowledge, World of Warcraft Goldspirituality, and peace. World of Warcraft GoldThey built a beautiful capital city named Zuldazar on the content of Kalimdor, which was at that World of Warcraft Goldtime the only continent on Azeroth. World of Warcraft GoldSome more warlike trolls decided to split World of Warcraft Goldoff from the priest-based society of the Zandalar and headed to the far north and far south of Kalimdor. World of Warcraft GoldThere they founded two warring empires: World of Warcraft Goldthe Amani Empire and the Gurubashi Empire, World of Warcraft Goldnamed after the troll tribes at their heads, but better known as the forest and jungle trolls. World of Warcraft Gold
The troll tribes became bitter enemies, World of Warcraftbut faced a greater challenge when a new race came along: the magical night elves. World of Warcraft(There was also something in there about fighting the Qiraji insectoids, World of Warcraftbut like everything else with the Qiraji, it sucks and we're going to pretend it never happened.) World of WarcraftThe night elves quickly dismantled the troll empires while expanding their own territories. Defeated, the trolls developed a seething hatred for the elves, World of Warcraftwhich was not improved when the Burning Legion came to town and the Well of Eternity imploded, World of Warcraftsundering the continent. World of WarcraftThe Zandalar tribe was all right, since their city had somehow survived intact to become an island and a troll mecca in the South Seas. World of WarcraftHowever, the jungle trolls and the forest trolls didn't have it quite as good.
Jungle trolls: buy wow goldThe two troll empires managed to rebuild some of their buy wow goldold territories in the Ghostlands and Stranglethorn Vale, buy wow goldbut the forests were tough and they barely survived. The Gurubashi Empire turned to worshipping the god Hakkar, buy wow goldwho helped them expand buy wow goldtheir territory across much of the continent. buy wow goldBut the god turned into a bitter and cranky deity, buy wow golddemanding blood sacrifices buy wow goldand finally asking to be summoned into the world. buy wow goldThe Atal'ai and Hakkari priests acquiesed for different reasons, buy wow goldand built the Temple of Atal'Hakkar and (eventually) Zul'Gurub. The rest of the jungle trolls disavowed and attacked these priests while continuing to fight among themselves. buy wow gold
Eventually, cheap wow goldthe small Darkspear tribe got sick of getting picked on and cheap wow goldset sail across the sea, cheap wow goldwhere they landed in a cove off of Kalimdor. One day, cheap wow golda fleet of green-skinned, cheap wow goldstocky creatures showed up on the island after their cheap wow goldships were damaged in a storm. cheap wow goldThe greenskins were orcs, and they and their leader, cheap wow goldThrall, were welcomed by the Darkspears and their chief, cheap wow goldSen'jin. cheap wow goldSen'jin warned Thrall that the island held many dangers, cheap wow goldincluding ... cheap wow goldMRGLEMRGLEMRGLE. A tribe of murlocs captured Thrall, cheap wow goldSen'jin, cheap wow goldand some of their countrymen. cheap wow goldThe murlocs imprisoned everyone but Sen'jin, cheap wow goldwhom they took away to sacrifice to a sea witch. cheap wow goldThrall and his men broke out of the prison, cheap wow goldbut they were too late to save Sen'jin, cheap wow goldwho was dying from his sacrificial wounds. cheap wow goldSen'jin told cheap wow goldThrall he had seen a vision of Thrall leading his people to Kalimdor. cheap wow gold
To repay the trolls for helping his people, wow goldThrall offered them a place in the New Horde, and a home in Durotar. Vol'jin, the son of Sen'jin and the new troll leader, wow goldaccepted the offered and set sail for Kalimdor. They created a new homeland in the Echo Isles. However, wow golda troll witch doctor, Zalazane, wow goldstarted turning the Darkspear trolls into zombies. Fearing for his people, wow goldthe (level 70 elite) Vol'jin ordered his (levels 12-14) people to abandon their new land to the (level 10 non-elite) Zalazane. wow goldThe trolls created Sen'jin Village instead, wow goldwhich still stands today as wow golda monument to Vol'jin's inability to do simple math.wow gold
Forest Trolls: wow goldUnlike the jungle trolls, the forest trollsdidn't fall into worshipping evil gods, wow goldpreferring to stick with the simple, wow goldold-time religious practices of voodoo and cannibalism. Instead, their threat came from the outside. wow goldThe Amani Empire had spread across most of northern Lordaeron, wow goldand the trolls were very happy until ... wow goldguess who showed up? wow goldThose damn arcane magic-addicted elves again, wow goldexcept this time they were called high elves. wow goldThe trolls were still pretty upset about the world being destroyed and attacked the elves. wow goldThe situation did not improve when the elves decided to make the city of Quel'thalas on top of some troll tribes, wow goldand also build magical wow goldrunestones to drive the trolls further away. wow gold
The races lived in wow goldan uneasy stalemate for several thousand years. wow goldBut during the reign of King Anasterian Sunstrider, wow goldthe forest trolls decided to strike back and raid Quel'thalas. wow goldOutnumbered, wow goldSunstrider called on the humans of Arathor to help him, wow goldand the new alliance shattered the troll empire. wow goldThe trolls were understandably pretty angry at this, wow goldso when they found wow goldout that the humans and the elves had joined this newfangled "Alliance" wow goldthat was fighting the "Horde" -- wow goldand the chieftain of wow goldthe "Horde" offered to take them under his wing -- wow goldthey joined together again and signed up for Hordedom under Zul'jin. wow goldThey provided a lot of forces to the Horde, wow goldbut when the Alliance turned the tables and defeated the Horde, the forest trolls abandoned their new allies and went home. wow gold(More on this next week.) wow goldA small group of forest trolls, the Revantusk Tribe, wow golddecided to join Thrall's new Horde, wow goldbut the rest reverted to their savage ways.wow gold
Other trolls: World of Warcraft GoldBlizzard's troll history site has a fascinating section World of Warcraft Goldon all sorts of weird trolls. World of Warcraft GoldThe ice trolls, World of Warcraft Goldfound in Northrend and Dun Morogh, World of Warcraft Goldwere exiled from the Zandalar for being brutal and bloodthirsty. They're the sworn enemies of the dwarves. World of Warcraft GoldThe sand trolls ended up stranded in Tanaris after the Great World of Warcraft GoldSundering, World of Warcraft Goldand got all sunburnt and red. World of Warcraft GoldThey built the city of Zul'Farrak and worship a World of Warcraft Goldgod named Gahr'zilla, World of Warcraft Goldwhich makes me feel bad about all the times I destroyed Zul'Farrak. I mean, we're pretty much doing the World of Warcraft Goldbidding of the expansionist goblin trade princes World of Warcraft Goldand destroying the native inhabitants of the land.
The dark trolls are rare trolls, World of Warcraft Goldsometimes thought to be a myth. World of Warcraft GoldThey live underground, World of Warcraft Goldhave a primitive society, World of Warcraft Goldand are seen as violent even for trolls. World of Warcraft GoldHowever, World of Warcraft Goldthe dark trolls joined the night elves to fight the Burning Legion on the slopes of Mount Hyjal, World of Warcraft Goldshowing that they cared about the fate of the world.World of Warcraft Gold
So what happened to the Zandalar? World of WarcraftAs mentioned earlier, World of Warcraftthe Zandalar were the first trolls and arguably the most civilized. World of WarcraftWhile most of the trolls eventually became members of the Amani and Gurubashi empires, World of Warcraftthey still revered the Zandalar as the priests and history-keepers World of Warcraftof the trolls. World of WarcraftAfter the Great Sundering, World of Warcraftthe nation of Zandalar and its capital, World of WarcraftZuldazar, became an island in the South Seas due World of Warcraftto the priests' protective spells, World of Warcraftand the Zandalar World of Warcraftretreated deep into their studies. World of WarcraftRecently, a small group of Zandalar trolls has come to Yojamba Isle in Stranglethorn Vale. They're there to encourage adventurers to go into Zul'Gurub and defeat the murderous troll god, Hakkar the Soulflayer.World of Warcraft
The most awesome thing about buy wow goldthe Zandalar and Zuldazar buy wow goldis that their island home is a strictly neutral territory, buy wow goldwhere all trolls of different tribes can come buy wow goldand mingle without fear of attack. buy wow goldAnd they actually do that! Every six years, buy wow goldemissaries from every troll tribe come to a conference in Zuldazar to discuss troll issues, buy wow goldled by the troll King Rastakhan. I strongly suspect that if the South buy wow goldSeas/Undermine is ever added into WoW, buy wow goldZuldazar will serve buy wow goldas (finally) a troll capital city.buy wow gold
I'm a member of the Alliance, wow goldand I think trolls are beastly, savage cannibals. wow goldCan you tell me anything that will make me hate myself? wow goldOkay. In all probability, wow goldnight elves are descended from trolls. wow goldAn in-game book, "The Twin Empires", wow goldcontains the following passage: "Ancient texts speak of a small wow goldfaction of trolls that broke off from the Amani Empire and founded their own colony in the heart of the dark continent. wow goldThere, these brave pioneers discovered the cosmic Well of Eternity which transformed them into beings of immense power. wow goldSome legends suggest that these adventurous trolls were the first Night Elves, though this theory has never been proven."wow gold
Trolls are the first race on Azeroth, World of Warcraft Goldnight elves are the second, World of Warcraft Goldand trolls and night elves have very similar appearances. It is strongly suspected that night elves are World of Warcraft Goldtrolls that wandered too close to the Well of World of Warcraft GoldEternity and mutated. World of Warcraft GoldHowever, World of Warcraft Goldnight elves get very angry when you mention this, World of Warcraft Goldand say that it's a way for trolls to marginalize night elf accomplishments and deal with their defeat by the early elves. World of Warcraft GoldThe night elves believe that they are descended from the goddess Elune herself, World of Warcraft Goldfurther proving my theory that elves are jerks.World of Warcraft Gold
