Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Blizzard, Forums

Want to hear something frightening? There will be no more class forums. Nethaera announced it a bit earlier on the official forums, and I’m still not sure what to think. They’re breaking down the class forums and replacing them with role forums: Tanking, Healing, and Damage Dealing.

If you’re a regular reader of Know Your Lore, you’ve probably noticed that it’s been missing for… oh, a month or so. As I’ve been going through potential topics, I keep finding myself going, “No, I can’t do that, that gets updated in Wrath. No, I can’t do that, it’ll be a spoiler for Wrath.” So, thanks a lot Wrath. Thanks for bringing us rich and interesting lore. Gosh, couldn’t you be more boring so I don’t feel bad spoiling everyone!?

So what we’re going to do today instead is prepare you all for the expansion. We have a lot of Know Your Lore entries already for many of the characters and stories that’ll be moving forward in Wrath of the Lich King, so here are some suggestions on what you should read so you have some background as to what the heck is going on in Northrend!
