No World of Warcraft discussion here? Well..here!

Doing a search because I'm interested in getting World of Warcraft for the Warlords of Draenor expansion, it looks really cool. But I found no thread of discussion for WoW, which is odd, considering there are discussion threads here for such niche things, but WoW being the biggest MMO on the market it was puzzling, but oh well!

World of Warcraft seems very interesting to me, I've watched loads of videos about the gameplay, so I'm pretty sure I'll be purchasing it for the WoD expansion.

Blizzard just released the Warlords of Draenor cinematic, you can view it here:

If you guys play, link your characters! What are your alls favorite aspect of the game? Raiding? PvP? Favorite time period?

I know a lot of people are confused as to the story line of WoD, and from what I am reading in the wiki's and what friends who are huge lore buffs tell me, it goes like this:

35 years ago, on the planet Draenor, Gul'dan, an Orc Warlock who was corrupted by Mannaroth of the Burning Legion made a pact with Mannaroth, that if the orcs would drink the blood of a Pit Lord, they would gain untold power and all that jazz. Well, they did, and Gromm Hellscream, father of Garrosh Hellscream, drank as well, and then later defeated Mannaroth in combat with Thrall.

Well, fast forward 35 years, and then to the Mist of Pandaria expansion, Garrosh Hellscream is the leader of the Horde of the planet Azeroth, and is corrupted by the Sha and an Old God and is dethroned for being a crazy son of a [censored]. Well, he goes back in time *no one knows how yet* back through the Dark Portal to the planet of Draenor before it became Outland, and BEFORE Gromm and Gul'dan drank the blood of a Pit Lord, and convinces his father to NOT drink the blood, and they will together create a new Horde, the Iron Horde.

Now, when WoD releases, the Iron Horde will come through the Dark Portal (which is now red, not green) and invade Azeroth. That's pretty much all we know.

I played WCIII, and I am LOVING the lore in WoD so far. It seems very interesting.
