I'm a bit of a pessimist really, so take that into consideration, but I figure Theremore will be attacked "destroyed" and rebuilt in an event and otherwise still function exactly as it does now. All this talk of Kul Tiras, Stromgarde, Stonard, meh. When the Panda's bounce in, theremore will probably still have the same asshat defectors.

The thing about Theremore's destruction being part of a good story and all that is addressed elsewhere, but I'll say this, Blizzard has a lot of income, that $15ish a month folks pay is for maintenance, customer service and game support. I'd think they'd have a good writing staff and development staff that should be able to weave a tale of high adventure, war and heroism with two factions without having to destroy another Alliance town. It's an MMO, it's a static world in between expansions.

If Jaina needs to be motivated, let her wake up and smell the ooze boiling off Southshore, it "just happened". Why hasn't she reacted to all the other stuff? Just seems like the adding a new Story Catalyst when so many others are still sitting ignored or forgotten, just stretches things.

Except for Neptulon, not sure why she mentioned that at all, since they've already said they abandoned the idea of the raid, and are fine with the "ending" the way it is. It's not some "story seed" from what they've said. He'll be forgotten until someone down the line goes "oh, crap, did we ever...", just like Uldum...
