Prevent 1 Death In The World Of Warcraft
Oh, this is a tough one. There are so many characters I just really like and wanted to see more of, though their deaths did not make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things. And then there are characters I don’t personally care about, but whose deaths changed things for the worse.
I’m trying to think of a significant death that, if prevented, could have stopped many more from happening, and I keep coming back to Sylvanas.
If Arthas had not managed to kill Sylvanas, she would most certainly have seen him dead and ended the Scourge’s march on Quel’Thalas. The Lich King would have lost his most powerful champion and without Arthas, perhaps Illidan would have succeeded in destroying the Frozen Throne - though Illidan of course would not have had blood elf forces to aid him, as without the fall of Quel’Thalas, there would be no blood elves.
In saving Sylvanas, we would severely weaken and ultimately destroy the Scourge before it got bad enough for WotLK to happen. We would deprive Illidan of blood elf support, drastically changing the events of TBC. Without a leader like Sylvanas to rally them, the Forsaken as we know them would not come to be, though provided Quel’Thalas did not completely wipe the undead out in Lordaeron, some kind of community of free-willed undead might still organize itself. Lacking military might and Val’kyr, though, the Forsaken would not attack Gilneas. Without the blood elves in Dalaran, Garrosh would not have been able to steal the Divine Bell, at least not the same way; the Purge of Dalaran would not have taken place. Hell, without the blood elves the Horde wouldn’t have had the mana bomb that flattened Theramore.
So yeah, there’s a lot of conjecture there, I know, but I think if Sylvanas had not died, Azeroth would have fared a lot better overall.
I was recently flying around outside of Ironforge, remembering how I used to wall-walk and climb up the mountain, explore the surrounding area, etc. Very first time I got escorted to Great Ironforge Nostalgia seeing the dark stone built strong hold actually made me forget real world as I wander off and got lost that's 2006.
Have you ever noticed these little pieces of Ironforge that kind of pushed out of the snow, they look like they had windows on them. For a sec it was as that I was actually inside of a room up top with a fireplace, and you could peer out into the wintery mountain. By the window you could feel some of the cold, but otherwise you were completely warmed by the fire.
Makes me a little sad we'll likely never see a revamped Ironforge or player housing. Imagine a sprawling Ironforge with multiple levels going up and down. The center would have several rings with each level being dedicated to something like a market place, homes, etc. All the while the massive forge in the center - always visible no matter where you are at in the center. From the center you would have caverns and tunnels, leading to other places like homes, taverns, etc.
Like Suramar in a lot of ways, an actual living, breathing city.
I only got a small portion of the content. There’s gonna be different kinds of quests instead of “go here and dig up these treasures” You’re going to be doing shipments and some other kinds of voyages. I’m not entirely sure of what’s to come, but I know for a fact that there’s going to be more variety in missions I assume.
All that said the potential is huge for the game. I'd be shocked/pissed if you are stuck with whoever you get like in the Beta for crew play. Developers mentioned about customizing your ship too. I would love to see custom emblems on the flags and different colored ships/sails. Let you run a clan emblem like in BF1.

Battle for Azeroth - Kul Tiras and Zandalar
The original human Kingdom Arathor expanded after the troll wars and those happened 2.800 before the opening of the dark portal officially it began expanding 2700 years ago so at that time Gilneas might have come to be, but since Kul'tiras is now an offshoot of Gilneas it should be even younger ca 2.500 years ago or so.
