squadron-of-damned:

Things I want from Blizzard: Linguistics and dictionaries. Something like “Gnomis and Dwarven have the same roots but are dramatically different. Gutterspeak is an argot of Common – Stormwind criminals would understand what the Forsaken are saying. Years spent together on one planet, Old Orcish and Draenei had a huge impact on each other, that is why everything about spirits and death sounds very rough in Draenei and anything related to community and outer space has tons of vowels stuck in long line in it. Thalassian evolved from Darnassian which evolved from Zandali. Zandali word for ‘Troll’ is (something like) rokh’dorae, which translates as ‘children of the world’ – note how dorae in Zandali is clearly related to dorei in both Darnassian and Thalassian. Languages of Azeroth are a complex and amazing thing.”

What I got: Alliance and Horde are again after each other, all scientific research will be put into war machines. Gnomes most likely to nuke Orgrimmar and regret it later. No useful science is going to get done.
