Will Undead Warriors become Death Knights?

I think they could have done a lot more with the factions, and made a lot more of them.&nbsp; An epic quest to become a Death Knight and join the scourge is one cool idea.&nbsp; It would be neat if there was some incentive for Tauren druids and shamen to declare all out war on all goblins for their mining operations, but be able to make common cause with Night Elf Druids.&nbsp; Warlocks should be able to activly assist the Burning Legion.&nbsp; Paladins should be able to join the scarlet crusade, and maybe allow Tauren to join their extermination of the Scourge and the Forsaken.

All of these factions and many more could be connected in a complex web, where an orc assisting the Venture Mineing Co could become so unpopular with the Cenarious Circle that Tauren druids could attack him on sight.&nbsp; Such an orc would probably be safe in Ogrimar,&nbsp; the gaurds there would defend him against an over zelous druid, but going to TB might become a dicy proposition for him.

This would multiply replayability, because there would be a near infinate number of faction choices for alts to make.

To extend the extra factionalism to the point where you definatly need WOW2, you make nearly the entire map, or at least all of the borders into battlegrounds.&nbsp; For example, you could make the STM into Venture territory, and put a battleground between Tauren and Venture inbetween.&nbsp; A battle ground between the Cenarious Circle and Venture could be located between STM and Ashenvale.&nbsp; If you were a druid trying to quest in the STM, you'd better make sure your side is doing well enough to hold a graveyard, or else adventuring would be very difficult.&nbsp; Finally, it would be a balance nightmare, but it would really make it into WARcraft if sucessfully completing STM quests and holding stratiegic points in the STM somehow made the Tauren and the Circle stronger.

Very nice ideas, oldmandennis :)
