Western Tirisfal Glades
*What is the secret supposedly kept in Western Tirisfal Glades?

The aforementioned "secret" has no basis in lore and is derived entirely from a speculative article suggesting that this was where the Highborne first arrived. As such, I'm removing this question and replacing it with one that more accurately reflects the true nature of the inquiry. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 23:37, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. =) Sssssssssssssssssssssssss For Pony! (^Sssss/_Slithered) 03:24, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

The Blue Moon
* Will the Blue Child ever be re-added into the game?

This doesn't really seem like a CDev question. Lorewise, the Blue Child is still present in the sky, as confirmed by both Stormrage and the Shattering. The most common argument for its absence is a technical one, which falls outside the realm of CDev. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 23:40, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

I really need to read the Shattering soon, but good point. Sssssssssssssssssssssssss For Pony! (^Sssss/_Slithered) 03:24, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Varok Saurfang
*What clan was Varok Saurfang from?

Metzen said Blackrock at Blizzcon 2010. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 19:00, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Mangletooth
*What happened to Mangletooth?

Mankrik has you kill him in  [10-30] Mangletooth. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 22:16, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Moira and Dark Iron empire
*Why did Moira come to Ironforge? Was there some sort of rebellion and she had to flee? Maybe the bosses of Blackrock Depths could be changed to reflect that there's a new Emperor, that kicked out Moira with the death of his husband. Or maybe, she left some sort of regent there, that has gone rebel?

It's stated rather clearly that she heard about her father's death and came to claim the throne as the rightful heir, and there's nothing to suggest otherwise. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 23:28, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Troll regeneration - 01
*How does troll regeneration work (Biological or Magic) and why does it not work sometimes (ex: Zul'jin)?

It's stated in the judgement(vol'jin story) that troll regeneration, comes from the loas and is able to regenerate lost fingers and toes, but not lost limbs or organs.--Ashbear160 (talk) 17:40, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Nefarian - 03
*Who brought Nefarian back to life and how?

Sinestra - 02
*How did Sinestra survive the events of Night of the Dragon?

These two questions are answered in the encounter journal, deathwing did it with magic.--Ashbear160 (talk) 21:45, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Ner'zhul - 03
*Is Ner'zhul really gone for good?

This question answered at blizzcon.--Ashbear160 (talk) 01:45, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Calia Menethil - 05
*What has become of Calia Menethil?

Jastor Gallywix - 03
*What happened to Gallywix after his agreement with Thrall was settled?

Lich King -
*Why must there always be a Lich King?

Elemental Dragons - 04
*Where did the stone and storm drakes come from?

Priest, Gnome - 01
*What is the deal with Gnome Medics (their priests in lore)? Do they use Light as a medical instrument or their light spells are just game-mechanics?

Argent Crusade's relationship -
*What is the state of the Argent Crusade's relationship with the Horde considering recent Forsaken actions, which are perceived by many to be similar to the Scourges?

Mythology, Animal Gods - 01
*Are the animal Loas in any way related to the animal Ancient Guardians revered by the night elves? For example, is it possible that Nalorakk is a descendant or relative of Ursol and Ursoc?

These questions were answered in the ask the cdev round 2.--Ashbear160 (talk) 01:45, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Deities, Vash'jr - 05
*Are Nesphirah and L'ghorek, the underwater demigods, Ancients/Ancient guardians?

The answer is likely yes, but Lon-ami and Ashbear don't like it.--SWM2448 02:30, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I only added that question to get a absolute confirmation to end this argument and it doesn't matter if i like it or not.--Ashbear160 (talk) 02:53, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I don't understand why it is still in question.--SWM2448 03:23, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

So we can get absolute confirmation from blizzard?--Ashbear160 (talk) 11:05, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

If you really want to, you could try, but I am confidant that we already have it.--SWM2448 16:43, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

It's better than not having a clear answer.--Ashbear160 (talk) 18:06, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I think it is clear.--SWM2448 19:05, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I thik it's not and apparently other people agree with me--Ashbear160 (talk) 19:45, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Someone told me of a better way to ask this question to be more open, what do you think?--01:44, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Broll Bearmantle -
*Where is Broll Bearmantle? He was supposed to replace Fandral Staghelm in Darnassus as the leader of the night elf druids after the events of Stormrage.

He's in hyjal--Ashbear160 (talk) 19:36, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Druidic Nomenclature - 01
*On the ask dev round II, you said that the night elves and the tauren tried to teach the trolls the "correct" druidic nomenclature, does such a nomenclature exist in the lore (like a in-lore book written by a druid or the common opinion of most druids)? and if so what type of creatures are in it, besides wisps and Ancients?

This is answered by the CDev question, or rather is a complete misinterpretation of it.--SWM2448 21:20, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Tol'vir - 02
*In the first batch of questions, you explained the origin of the Obsidian Destroyers, by saying they were enslaved Tol'vir. Were they Tol'vir that the qiraji captured, or were they created by the qiraji themselves using stolen titan technology? Could that explain why they are so radically different in appearance? Would that mean the Anubisaths were created using stolen titan technology, too?

In brann own writting in issue 5 of the wow magazine "the old god's enslavin' ones that escaped the curse o' flesh".--Ashbear160 (talk) 01:49, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Ettin - 02
*What are the ettin?

Ogres missing link.--Ashbear160 (talk) 01:54, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Giant of Draenor -
Are the Giants of Draenor, whose bodies were used to build the Temples of the Damned, just another name for the Gronn?

No they are the ancestors of the Gronn.--Ashbear160 (talk) 01:54, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Giant - 01
*The titans made 3 giant races,^{[citation needed]}  however throughout Azeroth we find many more types of giants that are very similar to some that the titans created, the question is what is the origin of the following giant races: Fire, Ice, Hill, Frost, Molten, Stone, Iron Giant and Colossi, and their connections to Mountain, Sea and Storm giants the titans created?

the question was partially answered in the issue 5 of the magazine, the titans created the fire ice storm sea and stone giants, needs to be completely remade to be viable.--Ashbear160 (talk) 01:59, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Trolls, Dark -
*What happened to dark trolls?

supposedly extinct brann i waiting for the dust to settle in hyjal to check the caves.--Ashbear160 (talk) 02:01, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Dwarf - 01
*Are each of the three dwarf clans composed of a unique dwarf subrace? Dwarf -
*What is the best name for each dwarf subrace?

Yes,Dark iron are dark dwarves, bronzebeard are mountain dwarves,wildhammer are hill dwarves and frostborn are frost dwarves.--Ashbear160 (talk) 02:07, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Earthen, Frostborn and Iron dwarves -
*Are Frostborn and Iron dwarves, a variation of earthen or other type of dwarf? If not are Frostborn made of flesh or what?

Frostborn are dwarves the iron dwarves are loken and old gods creations.--Ashbear160 (talk) 02:07, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Races, Northrend - '
*Do the Magnataur and other Northrend races (aside from the already confirmed titanic creations descendants) have a connection to Ulduar/Old Gods/Curse of Flesh?

The answer according to the magazine is No, they are mostly related to ancients.--Ashbear160 (talk) 13:09, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Aessina - '
*Is Aessina the matron of the dryads? If so, does she have any relationship with Cenarius?

The wow magazine 5 said that she was probably related to the grells and no mention of dryads being related to them(and since it was a list about those connections), so this can be answered with a no--Ashbear160 (talk) 20:16, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Races, Demonic - 02 *Are the Nathrezim the only race that is originally demonic? Also, do you have plans to tell us more about the other members of the Burning Legion and their history?

The last magazine apparently showed that this is not the case.--SWM2448 22:23, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Hmm that answers the first part of the question, but not the second... but of course the answer to that is yes so it's a little redundant to have that question lingering.--Ashbear160 (talk) 23:18, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Removed Questions

Topic	Rating	Question
Deathwing		Deathwing took on characteristics similar to an Old God after he mutated. Did he and N'Zoth merge into one being, much like Cho'gall and C'thun did?[citation needed]
Vanessa VanCleef		How old was Vanessa VanCleef when we fought her? In the instance her model reflected that of a woman around 21 or so, but in the vision we set 5 years in the past (in vanilla WoW) she appeared to be at most 8 or so. There is no way she was older than Anduin, who is supposed to be 13 by now. This didn't really make sense to me. - question marked for removal
Dwarf, Hill		What is a "hill dwarf"? - question marked for removal
Dwarf, Mountain		What is a "mountain dwarf"? - question marked for removal
Dwarf, Wild		What is a "wild dwarf"? - question marked for removal
Dwarf, Dark		What is a "dark dwarf"?
Worgen transformation		When Worgen shapeshift between their Worgen and Human forms, do they experience any kind of pain? - question marked for removal
Ancient Guardian		With some of the Ancient Guardians having returned recently in Hyjal, what ever happened to other Ancients such as Agamaggan or Ursol/Ursoc? - question marked for removal
Elementals creation	01	In the Hyjal quest "Elementary!" you state[citation needed]  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. Which of these accounts is true? If its the former, did the Old Gods create all elementals or just those on Azeroth? - question marked for removal
Undead mortality		Do the Undead age and decay or are they immortal? - question marked for removal
Druid, Speech		Can druids speak normally while in feral forms? - question marked for removal
Horde		Where does the Horde get all of it's resources for the various battles? - question marked for removal

Today removals, any objections?--Ashbear160 (talk) 00:26, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

I approve. Sssssssssssssssssssssssss For Pony! (^Sssss/_Slithered) 02:04, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Always. To my knowledge, we do not know the role of the Earthwarder in that context, the types of dwarves were listed in the last magazine but the terms were not clarified (if we still have to guess, it was not answered), and the the AN kingdoms are being removed because info that was pieced together is being taken as answering all unknowns.--SWM2448 02:05, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Ok readded the Deathwing Question but removed the second part of the question because that was already answered--Ashbear160 (talk) 11:44, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Readded Azjol-Nerub but reworked it so makes slightly more sense.(tell me if there's any problems with this one)--Ashbear160 (talk) 11:49, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

And my problem with dwarves is that it's essentially 4 question asking the same, i think it should be fused into a singular question... I'll have to give it some thought.--Ashbear160 (talk) 11:51, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

You changed the context of the Azjol-Nerub question way too much.--SWM2448 16:24, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Hmm... the original question asked how did the kingdoms translated into world of warcraft, we know that these instances are in azjol nerub, so i don't think i changed the question too much i just added content(or context).--Ashbear160 (talk) 16:34, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

You're right, i also thought of that, but i felt that the first question had to be reconstructed, and the second removal query was because it is repeated(which i'm not sure if it is...)--Ashbear160 (talk) 22:55, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Crown of Will

I believe this question has been answered by  [43] The Crown of Will, Slyvanas has it. Sssssssssssssssssssssssss For Pony! (^Sssss/_Slithered) 18:37, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

I think i put the question wrong... I think what i meant was what sylvanas did with it? ill try to see if it works as a question, if it doesn't tell me and i'll remove it.--Ashbear160 (talk) 19:12, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Gundrak

Why was there a giant snake tail in Gundrak?

Seems this question was tagged for removal but removal was disagreed with "That was not a lore answer... it was a answer but not a lore one".

I'm not sure how to approach this... cause I don't see a lore answer to ever happen for something that was just thrown in without any true reason. Sssssssssssssssssssssssss For Pony! (^Sssss/_Slithered) 22:40, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Basicly what Metzen said was that he had no idea what it was, i still think we should let it be there until a proper answer is given.--Ashbear160 (talk) 01:34, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

It was already asked and answered during the Lore Panel. There is no lore reason. Do you realy think they will answer it again?--LemonBaby (talk) 11:04, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Their answer was that it was Probably something one of their designers put there, they weren't even sure what it was, i say leave it until they give a more concrete answer than "probably" and "i don't know".--Ashbear160 (talk) 18:08, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Reminds me of [1] ;-) --LemonBaby (talk) 16:39, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Question wording

It was asked both rounds that people only ask one question per post. Should questions be split to get more specific answers?--SWM2448 20:05, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Could you specify which ones you think should be split?--Ashbear160 (talk) 20:20, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Any one with more than one question in it.--SWM2448 20:22, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Well there are some that do not make sense if divided, however there are some that can be rephrased to make it all in one question but without specific questions it's hard to say(i think i managed to rephrase some to work as one question).--Ashbear160 (talk) 21:34, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Depending on how the questions are asked should determine it. If you ask something like "What happened to so and so?" with a follow up "Is he dead?" Although technically two questions, that is ok. While asking three or more questions within one is not. Also, jumping subjects because they might be related in some way is not ok and should get it's own topic. And remember... using the words "I, me, my" should be avoided. Sssssssssssssssssssssssss For Pony! (^Sssss/_Slithered) 04:27, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Why is the dragonmaw name question marked for deletion?--Ashbear160 (talk) 18:17, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

The explanation says it's "explained in questing," but I don't see any indication of this on their page. On the other hand, I don't play Horde so I haven't done any of the Dragonmaw quests in the Twilight Highlands. Are there any Horde players who can confirm this? -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 19:06, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Statements needing citations?

Why is this article in this category?--Ashbear160 (talk) 17:28, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Because it's been claimed that it's stated in the quest " [30-35] Elementary!" that the old gods created the elementals, but said quest does not mention Old Gods. --g0urra[T҂C] 17:42, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Undead dragons

Well i'm adding questions i find in the CDev thread and while that maybe possible i still think that's a valid question--Ashbear160 (talk) 13:04, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Two or more question in one

As Nyorloth pointed out: "Please only ask one question in each post. If your post has more than one question (or if your question contains multiple parts), it will be overlooked. Also, it is recommended that you check the thread to see if your question has already been asked; duplicate questions will not have a greater chance of being answered." later he added "Also, ...please keep in mind the limit of one question per post". Questions like "Is Aessina the matron of the dryads and does she have any relationship with Cenarius?" are two questions. Thats why I marked them. Making two sentence into one doesn't change the fact that those are two questions and will never be answered.--LemonBaby (talk) 15:12, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

The problem with that question is that it doesn't make any sense to ask them separate(i don't even like that question), if it's not asked in a way that as both parts of the same questions it loses context.

If you have a way to make that question without losing context i will be happy to hear it.--Ashbear160 (talk) 18:12, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Make two questions: "Is Aessina the matron of the dryads" and "Does Aessina have any relationship with Cenarius?" --LemonBaby (talk) 07:41, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

It loses on the context on why anybody assumes that Aessina was related to cenarius, the second question will have to carry the dryads from the question before.--Ashbear160 (talk) 10:32, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Elven eyes

There is a question about the elven eyes' pupils that I think should be removed, since it's answered here: Contrary to what a casual observer might believe, night elf eyes still have pupils, just as the eyes of many other humanoid races do. These pupils can be difficult to discern, particularly under certain lighting or from certain angles. -- Forco sussura agli abissi 11:50, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
