Outlands really isn't that "outside". Been a core part of the WC lore for a long time. Space Paladins though are total lorerape.

nope

The reason I don't like outland isn't because the zones themselves are bad because they're not, they're much better than nearly every azeroth zone. Design wise though TACKING ON another absolutely different world to your established fantasy world is so bad especially as a first expansion. It's emptied azeroth entirely (apart from orgrimmar, ironforge and just outside karazhan) and no amount of lore in the world could stop it feeling like they wanted to start over altogether rather than add to and improve what they'd already made.

It's not like there aren't 5 or so unreachable zones on kalimdor and eastern kingdoms and other islands besides. Just gay. Every time I go do shit in outland it feels like I'm quitting wow and playing something else.
i didn't think they were tacking it on.  hasn't outlands existed for a long time now?  it's not like they just came out all of a sudden and were like HEY GUYS HOW ABOUT WOW: ADVENTURES IN THE ELVEN CATACOMBS and just made some shit up and sent you there.  i understand your complaint about it turning azeroth outside of 4 basic areas into a ghost town, because it did and that's pretty dumb, but outlands is a pretty legit place to send people, in terms of the story or whatever.  that dark portal's been there since the game came out.  northrend seems the same way, from what i know about WOW LORE (not much).

yeah Outland's been around since the first Warcraft, since it's Draenor destroyed. It's the Orc's homeland.

my problem with outland is none of the zones felt as atmospheric as azeroth, bar one or two. i cant compare say the plaguelands to zangarmarsh because the latter just feels like random zone #16563, whereas the former is a really critical zone to WoW's plot/history/etc.

the thing is that i instantly recognized a lot of things in azeroth from playing previous warcraft games etc, whereas outland was completely new in terms of Warcraft graphics and what have you, so i didnt feel any sort of "OH its this place yeah this should be f*ckin cool". so i guess it wasn't really blizzard's fault for making outland it just didnt interest me that much.

whaaaaaat?  i can't believe you prefer plaguelands to zangarmarsh.  giant mushrooms, dude.  GIANT MUSHROOMS.  it's the best!  plaguelands were cool when i was level 45 and saw screenshots of ash adventuring through them and was still mystified by strat/scholo and just couldn't wait to get there, but aside from that, those are actually two zones i completely detest, save tyr's hand and how handy it was as a farming/world pvp spot.  maybe it's because i'm not the biggest wc fan, and didn't have any attachment to the zones before going there, but i felt more MOVED or whatever when i first entered terokkar and discovered some giant fucking city i never expected to see and was all like "GUYS THERE'S A HUGE CITY HERE WITH SHIT TO DO" in guild chat, than i ever was in any of the historic places on azeroth like uh... idk, westfall or something.

the ONLY good thing about either of the plaguelands is the lore and the only thing enjoyable thing to do there is naxx, and soon that won't even be there

A lot of Outland was seen in the Warcraft 2 expansion. From a LORE standpoint, I found Outland sort of cool because you cross over and suddenly you're discovering what happened to the people who were on that fateful expedition in WC2 Beyond the Portal....

For someone (me) who's only experience of the warcraft universe was about half of the orignal wc3 campaign, outland felt removed from the game world and gay.

Really gay.

I prefered WPL/EPL to zangarmarsh too, giant mushrooms are okay I guess but badass undead-infested ruins n shit are much better

I only recently got my epic flying mount on my second character (never got it on my first) after like a year plus of playing.

It sure helps me fly REALLY FAST around zones that I never go to................
