message: I think World of Warcraft should be listed as the fourth game in the series as that adventure game has not actually been published and therefor World of Warcraft is the fourth game.  Had the game been published it would have been the fifth in the Warcraft universe but it isn't.
Saying this would be like adding to Great Britain, "It is currently a democracy but would not have been had Hitler invaded". --Kevin 01:17, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

message: I took the nerf shaman stuff out of the main article, because there is no class-specific information in this article for any of the classes.  I also wrote up a short paragraph on the subject, which may or may not be as NPOV as I think it is, and put it in the shaman article.  Junjk 01:20, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

message: based on a part of the sales section i created a new section called the launch. perhaps it can be moved to somewhere else but in any case i feel it didn't belong to the sales section, there one would expect info on the sales of the game, as i also updated. not about problems the game had at it's launch.

message: The top screenshot in the article is of a level 5 in a large raid. I can't help but think that's an awfully misrepresentated view of an ingame event. From my experience a raid of level 5's often leads to harassment of players or ingame "server protests". Might I suggest a screenshot change?

message: from a post on the joysitck gaming blog i saw this list from easter eggs and real live references in wow. anyone else think it would be useful to create a wiki article from this? would certainly be easier to keep updating then, because im sure the list isn't complete.

message: Too bad Willy on Wheels has the same initials as this game. :(
Among a lot of nonsense by an anon, I was able to format abovementioned article. Is anyone willing to merge it here or is it too trivial for inclusion? - Mgm|(talk) 10:21, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
: no need to include every silly article added here to prevent the so called knowledge from getting deleted. some things are simply not worth it, we could start added every item to this article, but that isn't needed. Boneyard 11:19, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Particularly since Thottbot turns up no results for such a thing.  In fact, I'm going to go change that merge back to a speedy.  Junjk 18:44, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

WoWWiki is not wikipedia, and may note conform to all of wikipedias' standards... dosen't mean it's not worthy of a link from the WoW page here.

message: "While grinding is still a viable tactic for advancing lower levels, players who choose to quest will progress faster than those who simply kill monsters."
This is not correct. Level 60(the maximum) is attainable within 7 days by "Grinding", and not possible through quests. 
Here's a thread on the topic;

:I guess it depends on your idea of which levels are the lower ones.  Up to level 15, questing is absolutely the fastest way to level up, and I call it about even until around 30 or so.  Junjk 15:51, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

message: It is possible to enter these zones, either accidently or intentionally. It is however not advised as it is a bannable offense.
I have never heard such a thing. As far as I know, entering a portal to an unimplemented zone does nothing. I've poked around a few and nothing happened to me. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 19:14, 2005 September 6 (UTC)
: i think he means entering certain unfinished areas that are accessable, the portals don't work, but there are some unfished areas you can get into and i do believe you run the risk to get banned for that indeed. Boneyard 08:13, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Would it make any sense to make an article about Warden, the new anti-cheat system of Blizzard in WoW, Diablo 2, Warcraft 3, and Starcraft? -- Myria 19:48, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: why not, the more info on wiki the better, but a seperate one then, just including it here makes less sense. Boneyard 21:37, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

text: I've tidied the information that was put in.  POV was biased towards the way Warden performed its scanning.  Need to see more sources before we put that sort of thing in as fact, especially since exactly how Warden works is in dispute. Mewcenary 09:46, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Back in the late '90s, Steve Gibson started sCary's Shuga' Shack.  Essentially, it carried gaming news with a sense of humor.
Shacknews is the same place and it still carries gaming news.  In this article, its been listed as a WoW fan site.  While it carries news about WoW (and other games), it isn't devoted strictly to WoW.
:Removed Shacknews reference.  It didn't seem relevant to the Corrupted Blood entry.  I've tidied the entry in general, and put in how the incident was reported by the more mainstream press, notably BBC News. Mewcenary 09:47, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
