• • The single most important thing WoW didn't do...

  • I honestly don't know what you're talking about.  It's not hard to find a guild that needs raiders, and if you can't find one, start one yourself.  Now that raids are only 25 people, they're easier than ever to set up.

    The hardest thing about it is finding a guild who wants to raid on the same schedule you do.

    I've gotta say, I honestly don't see the resemblance between this artwork and the original Warcraf that isn't also present in LoTR and other stock fantasy (D&D).

    I know there must be something specific?  Can anyone point to anything?

    That's a good one.  Keep 'em coming.

    I was trying to figure out if that image of an Orc came earlier from another source, but I can't find anything.  The closest I can find is the picture in the AD&D monster manual, but that is more pig-like.

• • Warcraft Borrowed from the Warhammer Universe?

  • I am aware that Warhammer has been in existence in one form or another since around 1983, and that people believe that Warcraft (starting with WC:  Orcs and Humans) borrowed heavily from aspects of Warhammer's style.

    Can someone who is actually knowledgeable about what WH was like back then explain to me specifically what aspects of WH were incorporated into the WC universe?  Please be specific, don't just say "the art style" or something like that.

    If you have pre-WC artwork you can reference, I'm interested in seeing what it looked like.

    Thanks, I'm just curious.
