I think some people need to realize that whether they like it or not, Warcraft *does* have a serious story behind it. You may not like it and that's fine, but some people do. Just go read a KYL article or two and check out the comments. Levity and drama can happily coexist in a story.

And I hate it when people trivialize things by saying WoW can never be taken seriously because we have cow-people and space-goats, etc. I think just about any fantasy story could be made to sound undramatic and silly if described a certain way (and it's fun to poke fun at things you like by seeing the silly side sometimes). I, for one, quite enjoy a tale about a certain hairy-footed midget and his gardner trying to destroy some jewelry. Oh and that one where a grown man dresses up like a bat and fights a clown and a penguin with his parents' money.

Of course I admit Warcraft has more silliness than most stories, but it also still has a Dark Titan trying to burn down the universe with his demonic army to establish what he believes is the proper cosmic paradigm.

I hope that didn't offend anyone. To each their own!
