This page contains a collection of often wondered '''questions''' concerning the [[Warcraft]] setting. This page is only intended to gather questions commonly asked by the Warcraft community to the creative developers, had they the chance. Responses to these questions will likely not occur here.
−
'''SimpleHTML''' widgets allow display of simple HTML markup as well as standard escape sequences. The two may be combined; if HTML is not valid (not well-formed XHTML), it will be displayed literaly.
  
   
−
==Supported HTML==

==Guidelines==
  +
;Adding questions: ''There is no stupid question.''
−
Unknown tags are ignored completely (must still be well-formed), unknown attributes for known tags are ignored gracefully. All HTML must be inside <tt>&lt;html&gt;&lt;body&gt;</tt> tags to be displayed.

:When you add a question, first make sure it has not already been placed on this page. If you have verified it is not here, the next step would be to find it's appropriate category (ie a character, location, race, etc) and add it using the standard format. See [[#Question format|question format]] below.
  +
:As this is a collection of commonly asked questions by the Warcraft community, it is ok to add questions you've seen on the official World of Warcraft forums along with any other fan sites. However, do not transfer any ratings or votes currently held by them.
  +
:Avoid posting questions in which the developers would have no control over, such as how players treat each other and things that exist for pure game mechanics (ie Worgen Death Knights).
  +
:And remember, ask only '''one''' question per question as requested by the development team.
  +
;Removing questions: ''Questions should never be removed without a reason.''
  +
:If you believe a question has been answered and should be removed, add {{t|question remove|reason|date}} next to the subject name with your reason and the date you marked it. Allow for 10 days before removal.
  +
:Should you see a question that can easily be answered by in-game lore or external sources (RPG books, WorldofWarcraft.com), go ahead and move the question to the [[Talk:CDev questions|talk page]], give the answer, and provide the source you obtained the information from. You should also note in the edit summary that you're moving the question to the talk page, so as to not have the asker (or other users) think you simply removed it.
  +
:Should you see a question that you believe breaks the guidelines of this page or Wowpedia in general, go ahead and remove it, but remember to note exactly why you are removing it in the edit summary.
  +
;Answered questions: ''What if a developer answers one of these questions?''
  +
:If a question on this page is answered, please do not immediately remove said question. Instead add the answer provided under the question along with a link to the source, if available. If the question/answer has been posted on [[Ask CDev]], then it is ok to remove the question.
  +
;The DOs and DON'Ts
  +
:'''Do''' add questions you've always wondered about.
  +

:'''Don't''' remove ratings of a question you dislike or don't care about.

  +
| [[Kalimdor]] || {{Rating|}} {{question cleanup}} || What were the mechanics of the Sundering? Land can not just sink, and if magic did it, what did the magic do? I would like to know what happened exactly after the Sundering. Before it, we had an unique continent, and after it, many different pieces of landmass. What happened exactly? The landmass between the current continents sank, or only the are surrounding the Well of Eternity sank, meaning that the current continents are a result of plate tectonics movement? (think of Pangea and how it evolved into the current world, but at higher speed) The second option is the one that makes more sense, imo. Pushing the central landmass down makes the surrounding landmass move away, while the water level rises from the sinking of the central part. It's basic geology, but I don't know if it would work in a world of magic.

Where's the moose?

This page contains a collection of often wondered questions concerning the Warcraft setting. This page is only intended to gather questions commonly asked by the Warcraft community to the creative developers, had they the chance. Responses to these questions will likely not occur here.

Guidelines

Adding questions
There is no stupid question.
When you add a question, first make sure it has not already been placed on this page. If you have verified it is not here, the next step would be to find it's appropriate category (ie a character, location, race, etc) and add it using the standard format. See question format below.
As this is a collection of commonly asked questions by the Warcraft community, it is ok to add questions you've seen on the official World of Warcraft forums along with any other fan sites. However, do not transfer any ratings or votes currently held by them.
Avoid posting questions in which the developers would have no control over, such as how players treat each other and things that exist for pure game mechanics (ie Worgen Death Knights).
And remember, ask only one question per question as requested by the development team.
Removing questions
Questions should never be removed without a reason.
If you believe a question has been answered and should be removed, add {{question remove|<reason>|<date>}} next to the subject name with your reason and the date you marked it. Allow for 10 days before removal.
Should you see a question that can easily be answered by in-game lore or external sources (RPG books, WorldofWarcraft.com), go ahead and move the question to the talk page, give the answer, and provide the source you obtained the information from. You should also note in the edit summary that you're moving the question to the talk page, so as to not have the asker (or other users) think you simply removed it.
Should you see a question that you believe breaks the guidelines of this page or Wowpedia in general, go ahead and remove it, but remember to note exactly why you are removing it in the edit summary.
Answered questions
What if a developer answers one of these questions?
If a question on this page is answered, please do not immediately remove said question. Instead add the answer provided under the question along with a link to the source, if available. If the question/answer has been posted on Ask CDev, then it is ok to remove the question.
The DOs and DON'Ts
Do add questions you've always wondered about.
Don't add duplicate or similar questions already on the page.
Do mark questions you like or always wanted to know about.
Don't remove ratings of a question you dislike or don't care about.
Do revise questions to fix grammar, spelling errors, or to make the question more clear.
Don't replace or change the question completely from what it was asking.
Do ask questions about the lore.
Don't ask questions about your class getting buffed or nerfed.

Question format

When adding a question, please use the following format:

Elementals creation In the Hyjal quest "Elementary!" you state that the old gods created the elementals. This is in turn supported by the Highlord Demitrians quote "It was they, the Old Gods who created all." Yet in other lore, it is said the old gods enslaved the elementals rather then create them.

We have shadow elementals, Yet in the same way we have identical creatures as demons. Are all of these void creatures all the same? if so are they elemental/demon or both? and also is their relation to either the old gods, the burning legion and Dimensious simply one of enforced control?

Locations

Questions about locations found (or not found) in the Warcraft universe
Locations Rating Question
Aqir city Is there any possibility for the original city of the aqir (the one they had before being defeated and splitting into Azjol-Nerub and Ahn'Qiraj) to appear around in-game some day?

Kalimdor - question needs cleanup What were the mechanics of the Sundering? Land can not just sink, and if magic did it, what did the magic do? I would like to know what happened exactly after the Sundering. Before it, we had an unique continent, and after it, many different pieces of landmass. What happened exactly? The landmass between the current continents sank, or only the are surrounding the Well of Eternity sank, meaning that the current continents are a result of plate tectonics movement? (think of Pangea and how it evolved into the current world, but at higher speed) The second option is the one that makes more sense, imo. Pushing the central landmass down makes the surrounding landmass move away, while the water level rises from the sinking of the central part. It's basic geology, but I don't know if it would work in a world of magic.
Nendis What happened with the port of Nendis?
Pandaria Was Pandaria a part of Old Kalimdor before the Sundering?
Spirit World What exactly is 'The Spirit World' and what forces rule it?
