Talk:Getting Ahead

The edit summary says: "(( Linked stories set in the equivalent WoW time of August 2007. ))" Short form: That's August 621.

Long form: The Warcraft I manual puts the year the Warcraft I game starts at 593. The Warcraft I manual also claims that the First War started with the Dark Portal opening ten years before the Warcraft I game starts, but this has since been retconned by Blizzard to say that Stormwind Keep was first destroyed in far less time after the opening of the Dark Portal. The amount of time from the Dark Portal opening to Stormwind being destroyed cannot possibly be more than 5 years because the Second War started six years after the First War started.

If we accept that the Dark Portal opened the same year that Warcraft I began (593), then World of Warcraft started 25 years after that (618), which was November 2004 in real life. That was three years ago, so these events may be taken as having occurred in the summer of 621.
