message: I don't think you need that link about Elekk.  Someone should make an arcticle even if it's just a stub. Redskunk 00:54, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't really think the Elekk needs it's own article. Maybe an article about all the WoW mounts would do better? Torte 16:35, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Heh, yeah, more then anything I meant that it's preferable over an elekk article, though both are really quite pointless. Torte... of Doom! 09:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I read through the article, and however new instances are listed i believe nothing was said as to the Heroic Setting for Instances. Heroic instances make them harder and drop better loot. The Heroic Setting can only be used in instances in Outlands. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gums101 (talk • contribs) 16:23, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The Criticism section sounds more like people whining than genuine documented criticisms.  Could we get some sources to document the criticism section or at least modify so it doesn't sound like the rant of a disgruntled customer?  159.140.254.52 18:05, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. This section really doesn't add anything to the article. Most of it sounds like someone's opinion, not anything that can really be proven. Metalhead0043 18:55, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I somewhat disagree. Many other games that are listed under Wikipedia have some kind of criticism, even if it is good or bad. Really, it needs a criticism section and with that some sources as well. RedKlonoa 17:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Seems like there's some data missing from the opening paragraph of the article (or it needs clarification):
"It was released on January 16, 2007 at midnight in Europe, United States and Australia, and sold nearly 2.7 million copies that day, making it the fastest-selling PC game in those regions.[3] It was released on January 17, 2007 in Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and Singapore; in total, approximately 3.1 million copies were sold across these territories in the first month of release, including 1.5 million in North America and nearly 1.2 million in Europe."
Since 1.5+1.2=2.7, there's either some data missing on the other 20-something days of the first month, and the other regions only sold .4M copies, or the article means that 3.1M copies were sold in the first month OUTSIDE North America, Europe and Australia. I don't know the right answer, but I can see that these numbers aren't adding up 82.2.118.146 17:51, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

message: As the elvish homeland has zero notability outside Warcraft, and will probably be deleted otherwise, it should be merged in here. Judgesurreal777 23:08, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it should be merged with Azeroth as it is just an area in Azeroth. Joeking16 (talk) 10:49, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

text: The merger of Quel'Thalas by no means should be here. Quel'Thalas has been a part of Warcraft history long before World of Warcraft was even concieved, dating back to Warcraft one. Perhaps a merging with the Azeroth page does make more sense, but to me that would be like having one page for all the 50 states of America, as they all fall under the American flag. Of course this is perhaps an unfair analogy when comparing life to a video game, but is Lybia just another area of Africa? Is Asia just another area in Earth? If the Quel'Thalas page were to be merged, I'd merge it with the High Elves page, offering blurbs that link to that page on the Azeroth page, but I say leave it be.

replies: text: Leaving it means it will be deleted entirely. In fact, it has been nominated already. Quel'thalas fails guidelines for notability and should not have an article on it's own. I agree that it should not be merged with this article as I'm sure there's a more appropiate article to merge it with.--Fogeltje (talk) 09:18, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Should the merge tag be switched to Warcraft universe then? If an appropriate course for a merger isn't set then the article will probably be deleted at the AfD. (Guyinblack25 talk 19:42, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be more appropiate there than anywhere else, but right now the title "Warcraft universe" is wrong as it deals more with the Warcraft franchise than the fictional universe.--Fogeltje (talk) 11:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I proposed the merge of Quel'Thalas, based on the lead: "In the fictional Warcraft universe, Quel'Thalas was the homeland of the High Elves. The Blood Elves now occupy this region made accessible to players with World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expansion." From this, I gathered that Quel'Thalas was a new playable area with this expansion, and thus, should be discussed in this article along with other new things this expansion provides. However, I know very little about Warcraft, and if this is incorrect please change the merge target with my blessing. Pagrashtak 15:05, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I'll switch the merge location and see if anyone on the talk page there is familiar with the subject. Hopefully we can get this taken care of there because I'm actually at a loss as to what to do with it. (Guyinblack25 talk 15:57, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

message: What is with “X-man″ notation? I know that it is standard in WoW, but it always rubbed me
the wrong way, especially since so many guys make their girlfriends play against their wills.
It does not make much sense in-game either, since gender is a choice. But mainly for the sake of those bored females, we should write “X-player″ or something. Who is with me?

message: This phrase in the article (as part of the Sunwell Plateau section) seems to suggest this character is of some significance.  However this is the only mention of him in this article, and there's no specific wiki-article available if a user wishes to learn more.  This guy was actually part of the reason I came to this article (there's a news story about somebody beating him "finally" so I was curious as to what the big deal was). Somebody more in the know about WoW should probably rewrite this so his significance to the Burning Crusade is more obvious to anybody not familiar with the Warcraft story. -- TRTX T / C 15:36, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Just as a note, I'm looking at cleaning up the Reception and Development sections over the next few days. I've already added the VG Reviews box to the article and hope to use these sources to provide reception information in the same section. Once that's done I'll be looking to add sourced development information. As development info is always hard to come by, if anyone has a link to an interesting article on the development of TBC, please let me know so that I can include it, either pre or post-launch. Many thanks, Gazimoff 06:10, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I just hacked and pillaged the Gameplay section. Still none of it is cited, but it should be easier to find citations for what I left behind. --Izno (talk) 17:22, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Cleaned up the gameplay section a bit. I think this article should include information about the advent of Heroic dungeons and 25-man raids. I'll add this when I find ample sources and time. Ohgod chrishansen (talk) 21:34, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
