So speaking multiple languages isn't by itself a bad thing, nor being proficient in the use of several weapons or magic schools, or being a hybrid race.
But being a multilanguage tri-race weaponmaster/magicmaster probably is. (coughmedancough)
Thankfully Blizzard seem to have locked him in the Retconian.
Think metzen even confirmed medan as a "cool idea at the time" but horrible in hindsight. Think they might have silently retconed him away.
We can only hope.
Though I am still in the opinion of Lillian Voss being a similar kind of sue, just not a half breed, but a teen/zombie/ninja/warlock with a
inconsistent
background.
I'd be okay that she was removed if only we could get some of her powers. They do look pretty impressive. Frankly, we need more NPCs that can do things we players can't.
#88 if your character lost xir virginity unwillingly, does xe find a way to restore it?
This happens?

How in dantes inferno does that work? Losing virginity is more of doing a thing, a experience than getting a illness.

For men. For women there's a physical and a psychological part of virginity. And the physical side can be restored. Though its beyond pointless to do so, considering that the psychological experience is what truly matters.
I had prepared a more detailed "Birds and Bees" talk, but go figure, just as I hit "submit" my internet crashes, and the post is lost. I'm in no mood ot write it again.

A virgin is a person who has not engaged in sexual intercourse, if you get raped, then you had sex (an unpleasant version of it at least). You can't return to being a virgin. You can't undo a event that has happened. (unless you count time travel or memory wipe)
However you can restore the mental wounds such a thing can cause on a female and male (it happens on males too "don't drop the soap" is based on it).

Exactly and this is the correct definition of virginity, someone who's never experienced sex.
However, for women, there's a physical component to virginity. Women have a thin membrane inside their genitals called the Hymen. This membrane is punctured the first time they have sex, which is actually kinda painful, but only happens once. Once this membrane is teared, it never grows back again, hence, a woman is "no longer a virgin". Of course, the status of the hymen is no real mark of virginity, specially since it can be teared without having sex, it can degrade itself due to certain diseases, certain injuries, and even during birth in special conditions.
Most of the absurd fan-fics regarding "virginity restoration" involve the reconstruction of the Hymen, either via magic, or surgery.But this is not only mysoginistic as hell, its also pretty stupid because the true mark of virginity is the complete lack of experience on sex. Someone who had sex, then had her hymen reconstructed,
is still not a virgin.
A concept that apparently its pretty hard for some people to understand.
Sadly, in real life, you wouldn't believe how many weirdos actually request this surgical procedure, which is actually possible these days due to the advances in medical science. So some people seek to restore the Hymen....... only to break it again by having sex. Because apparently, a woman has to give her virginity to her "true love" or she's no true lady.
ugh, even say that last paragraph makes me feel like a sick-o. Time to change the subject........
FUTONS

My futon is very comfortable.
On last thing on the virginity thing...not the loss of it, but one of the book series that I read(either the Obsidian trilogy or the 500 Kingdom series) had a comment that I've always liked. Both worlds have unicorns..but in the trilogy, Unicorns are kick ass battle steeds who normally work with elves, while the Kingdom unicorns are silly fluff heads when it comes to virgins but are more then willing to castrate someone who attempts to hurt their 'loves'.
Anyway, the comment when it comes to being touched by someone: A person can be a physical virgin but still be so vicious and evil of mind that their touch will hurt the unicorn...while another could be pure of mind/heart but had horrible things happen to their bodies and still be able to touch a unicorn.
Trilogy, it was out of that series; the Kingdom Unicorns are just sad when a person isn't a virgin any more.

Fun trivia: did you know that if you remove the last letter, and invert the order of its two syllables, Futon becomes Tofu? O_o
An interesting thought popped in my head.
How exactly was Gul'dan able to locate the broken isles? I mean the OG!Gul'dan was able to locate the tomb of sargeras by scouring the mind of Medivh, but this Gul'dan doesn't have the same luxury.
And then it hit me: Cordana. She becomes a servant of Gul'dan, and as a matter of fact, we don't kill her during our fight with her in the legendary quest. She escapes via a portal. Now, this is where I speculate, but Cordana could have been part of the wardens that chased Illidan with Maiev back in Warcraft 3.
What if Cordana was with Maiev during that pursuit? then that means SHE knows where the broken isles are. And therefore, SHE told Gul'dan where to go.
>_> that backstabing good for nothing jackass.

Maybe Gul'dan needed illidan to find the tome and he found Illidan with some link with his MU skull.

I'm pretty sure it's more like 'this is your second chance to serve the Legion. Don't screw it up this time' sort of deal. Kil'Jaeden really has a problem with letting things go.

I think Kil'jaeden is a horrible recruiter...
He didn't recruit sargerai or arrakoa (MU), but he recruits Illidan the betrayer. Man being in a job interview with him...
Do you think we will see the Eye of Sargeras in the new violet hold? It's the only thing I can think of that has a connection to the tomb of sargeras.

Technically speaking, he did recruit the sargerei in the main universe. Given that the likes of Levixus, and Socrethar are present in outland.
As for him being a horrible employer, he could be worse. At least Kil'jaeden gives second chances to the people who fail him. Contrast to archimonde who believes in the Darth Vader policy of "you have failed me for the last time *force-choke*"
As for the eye of sargeras, didn't Illidan took that out of the tomb in war3? that's the sole reason he was there in the first place, and he took it for that spell he was going to unleash in northrend.

Yes, Illidan took it to Dalaran for the "melt northpole" spell.
But in Legion there will be a new violet hold dungeon. And something awaken or something like that due to being close to the tomb. The only thing I can think of that has a link to both dalaran and the tomb is eye of sargeras.

Yeah, and it was destroyed when Maiev and Malfurion interrupted his spell.

Why? there never was any connection between the eye and dalaran. It was the eye of the avatar of sargeras, who was killed by Aegwynn and buried in that tomb. It was then found by Illidan, who was then stopped in the ruins of dalaran. That's as far as the fragile connection goes. Maybe there's a really old and powerful demon locked up in the violet hold, and he's now awakened.
Speaking of the Tomb of Sargeras: Who built it? Who moved the corpse there? how come the island then sunk under the sea? IF there's an unknown secluded sub-race of elves that has lived there for thousands of years, how did they survive the island sinking? For that matter how did the Vrykul survived their thousand-year old pilgrimage if these islands were recently raised from the bottom of the sea by Gul'dan? While we're at it, how come the island is now heavily populated by so many subraces like moose-tauren if it's been under the bottom of the sea for god knows how long. How long was it underwater before gul'dan raised it up?
/rants continue.
Seriously, while this game used to have such a rich and detailed, and well explained and planned backstory and mythology, wow lore recently requires a complete cerebral shut down to even mildly enjoy it. Because as soon as you start asking questioins, the entire suspension of disbelief falls apart like a poorly built castle of cards.
I bet
NOT ONE
of all the questions i made above will be answered in the expansion.

A giant air bubble. The lost city of
atlantis
Suramar had a force field covering the islands from the sea powered by the
ZED
nightwell. And when Gul'dan arrived there by
stargate
boat and raised them the shield was converted to stealth.
Mildly inspired by stargate atlantis

Since he appeared in front of the Betrayer and told him straight up 'Do what I order or else your spine will be on permanent fixture in my living room'.....yeah; remember, the entire reason that Emo-King created the forces in Outland was not to conqueror Azeroth....it was to try to save his pathetic ass from KJ coming back to kill him.
Speaking of the Tomb of Sargeras: Who built it? Who moved the corpse there? how come the island then sunk under the sea? The answer to all of those questions is simple Rank: Aegwynn the Guardian created the Tomb, sealed the Titan's statue, then sunk the tomb to the bottom of the sea to keep anyone else from doing what Gul'dan did. Yes she did put a spell on the Tomb that sealed it against being opened by any natural being of Azeroth(hence, the reason why Medivh-Sargeras brought the orcs over in the first place) but as she was smarter then the average bear, she knew that putting at the bottom of the ocean was a lot smarter then leaving it where someone could find it and try to open it.
