User blog:Aretain King/Timelines and You! When are we now?

Hey folks, just throwing another blog post out there for viewing.

The debate about what year we're currently set in is one that varies from person to person. Some people, preferring to follow their own interpretations of the lore and events set therein, claim that the year is currently Year 38, others who follow the canon more exclusively, believe it's Year 32.

Thankfully, after much debate, the official answer is in, thanks to Creative Director, Alex Afrasiabi.

Battle for Azeroth will be occurring in Year 33.

Now, what does this mean for you? Well, it could mean nothing, or it could cause a substantial change depending on what timeline you've chosen to follow. Since it is currently year 32, that means there is no five year gap in the WoW timeline, so potentially your characters could be five years younger than they are, and lore-wise any major character that has had their age based on it being Year 38 needs to be altered to reflect that it's really Year 32 as of the writing of this blog post.

With that said, take care everyone! See you in-game!
