But he was under siege during the patch itself.

But he was under siege the entire time before that, and actually, on the servers I was on, he was treated as "deafeated" the moment a guild actually took him out (which was extended by the different wings opening, but you could also argue that each wing opening progressively also advanced the story).
Quote:The undead Nefarian was not defeated until the patch that brought us the Firelands.
But he was under siege the entire time before that (and what about Cho'gall, or Sinestra, or Al'akir? Â All of that was going on, too!).
And right now, during the Siege of Orgrimmar? Garrosh has been treated as "dead" and the Siege in "aftermath" since September 27 on Moon Guard (which is when the first guild killed him). No one is going to wait until the patch before the next expansion to deal with this.
Quote:Shandra Manaya, the Argon Queen, was not killed until the patch that ushered in a breaking of the Federation.
No idea who this is. Â Don't care.
Quote:Likewise, the assault on Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium does not happen until the Dec 17th patch.
This contains big spoilers for the storyline, so I am spoilering it.
Quote:That's how I've always seen story handled by roleplayers in the past.
We have had different experiences, obviously.
