This is actually incorrect.
According to official lore - Humans come from barbarians, not the other way around.

Barbarians were created by Erolisi Marr, goddess of love.
There were many tribes of Barbarians. At some point they united against their enemies and built the first capital - the First Halas.
Some time later the First Halas was destroyed by their enemies and their tribes were scattered again. Some of them migrated South, spread around and evolved into Humans.

The Barbarians who remained up North have gathered forces once again and rebuilt their city, thought it was much later.

Gotcha, I thought I was wrong but wasn't too sure.

you seem to confuse popularity with quality. whether wow has 100 players or 1000000 i think its a terrible game now. vanilla wow was a great game however and I really miss the massive world pvp it had. just because twilight was number one at the theatres doesnt make it a good movie. surely you understand this concept.

also what do you consider #1 mmo of all time? most subs? most success? best reviews? longest running?

Additionally, liking anime would probably make you MORE likely to be a WoW fanboy... not less.

Kagatob is a latent WoW-fanboy - that's why he is so pissed at Square [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Elaborate on this please, this is the first time I've ever seen this type of correlation. Ever.
Most anime fans don't like 'cartooney' graphics in games. Hard to understand I know. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yep fanboy of a game I've logged exactly 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds in. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oh, I suppose my statement was more of an observation I've made in the years I've been attending conventions. Anime fans generally also have a strong affiliation with WoW. WoW normally has a large presence at these conventions, despite if there is a venue specifically for it.

I'm just saying it's more likely based on what I've seen. I've yet to apply the scientific method to my observations, however [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Most anime fans like 'cartoony' females instead of real females too. How is anime not 'cartoony' anyway, since it's literally what a cartoon is...

So you talk about a subject you (obviously) know absolutely nothing about and then try to berate me for the same thing? Well played?

Which conventions? Outside of the multi-genre Connecticon, I've not seen a single WoW-anything cosplay ever and I try to go to at least 5 conventions per year. This year at AB13 there was a very well done League of Legends cosplay... that's one person out of 60,000. Large presence is an odd choice of words.

in Florida cons it's everywhere. Or at least was everyhwhere while WoW was mega-big. They'd have specific costuming contest for WoW only related costumes. You could always find panels specifically about WoW. The dealers rooms have lots of WoW related products. Guild RL meetups would take place all the time. Plus these were cons with a specific focus on anime.

Maybe it's just in my state. /shrug

Metrocon in Tampa an AFO are the two bigger ones that come to mind that I normally attend

You're the one with the personal vendetta.

He is a latent wow-fanboy as I already said. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] He may never played WoW, but deep inside he wants to, but too ashamed to come out. That's why he lashes out on it any chance he gets [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
