Warlock Lore

[Purson]

Any of you old warlocks got some arcane knowlege of the game? I'd love to hear about some old talents and such. Just please don't turn this into a gripe - I'm not interrested in "Blizz... yadah yadah"

As an example with no answer that I have: Why does the firestone also add to melee damage? It'd make sense if at one time this was not soulbound. Other than that, it makes some cool effects when I'm trying to level a new dagger.

wow,
yeah i am very curious to that to,
i only have my wow a few months now, and am very much interested in the "old days"
I to use the firestone now to up some handweapon skills ( dagger, swords, etcetera )
No reason in particular, just for the fun of it in em way to easy dungeons i push some guildies trough.
Also curious to the flight points, why you have to bypass a LOT of em. I have heard that in the past you had to go from flightpoint to flightoint instead of planning the longer continental flights, but it is still so in outland aswell. Was The Burning Crusade pre insta flight ?

Not really warlock lore, but one of us is the single most evil character in WoW
Am talking bout Guldan! Who is infact a warlock.

*makes me tickle on the inside* :>

If anyone has any warlock lore pages they are much appreciated :D

Just in case anyone missed it, there is a Lore page here. Accessed via the front page.

[Pervlock]

yup, seen and read that lotsa fun stuff and info there.
i myself are more curious to specific ingame parts, like the firestone question and flightpaths. ( effects ingame for the lock lore etcetera )
Lore page is a must read tough, thanks for that

Actually, the flight path change is relatively recent. Before patch 1.10 (early 2006), you couldn't just fly from one end of the continent to the other. You had to fly from one point to the next, talk to and pay the flight master at each step. Here's a link to the patch notes: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patch...patch1p10.html

If you are interested in the develepment of Azeroth and of WoW, just read the old patch notes.

The firestone is a little more obscure. Early in the beta version of WoW, I'm told, warlocks could wear leather armor and would often melee, but that didn't last long. No idea why the firestone wasn't ditched at that point.

Ooh, I like that theory. I tried to do a quick search, but didn't find anything. It makes me envision a melee warlock with leather armor in which the stats would just be weird, like -20 Int, +10ag, +15 hit rating and no extra spell damage. The rest of the standard leather armor would have to be made class specific to prevent locks from getting it. I can dream can't I?
