Well, it's Metzen we're talking about here so anything's possible. Ner'zhul was originally sent to Azeroth to prepare it for the Burning Legion via the Scourge. In WC3 we saw that he wasn't exactly feeling the whole being-a-bitch-of-Sargeras thing and started slaying his demonic companions (wardens?). He then struck out on his own to Northrend to become the Lich King with Arthas under his influence. Anyway, what I'm getting at is Ner'zhul wasn't that attached to the Legion and even rebelled against them, so I find it hard to believe that he'd willingly serve them again.
That being said, an interesting twist might be Bolvar compelling Ner'zhul to helpusin the fight against the Legion, perhaps to break his curse or something to that extent.

I was curious about this and did some googling.
From Arthas: Rise of the Lich King:
Looks like you're right, but again, it's Metzen so :/

The long and short of it is that Ra-den was a Titan warden and keeper of the Mogu. When the Titans stopped communicating or whatever he was lost in time, even to the Mogu. The Mogu eventually became corrupted and were turned into truly living beings (not just animated stone). The Thunder King went into the Vaults of Mogu'shan and discovered Ra-den as well as the Engine of the Makers. He fought Ra-den and defeated him, absorbing his Titanic essence and imbuing himself with the power to command the storms and lightning. He then used Ra-den to create more living contructs (the Anima is from Ra-den) and to create the Saurok.
Ooh, higher res textured versions of High Warlord gear. Nice.I guess the next xpac is going to level 100? Kinda cool killing heroic garrosh will drop stuff that will help you level, they really need to do an item squish though this is getting ridiculous
...wait, was I supposed to be paying attention to the stats or something?
not as cool as Algalon and incredibly unfinished, the first guilds who reached him could cheese parts of his mechanics for an easy kill
and yes he is the titan that was left behind on Pandaria and guarded the Mogushan Vaults till the Mogu Emperor found him there and became the Thunder King, then imprisoned him and conducted experiments with his blood, see: Primordius, Dark Animus
Surprisingly, no one ever posted this in this thread.
And people wonder why sub numbers are dropping. Holy shit. Not playing the game since TBC, I had no idea it degenerated to that extent.

Yeah it's pretty shitty what they've done with the game. I've been trying to play it but it loses its appeal after a few days.
Good video and I agree somewhat. However, I'm a 'veteran' player that started the game many years ago but didn't enter this expansion until late and I cannot find a guild (on a super busy server) that is running anything aside from ToT. "Guild looking for 515+ class X" and I'm not that geared. I don't want to LFR and grind dailies forever to get to 515 because it's a lengthy process and I hate LFR with a passion mostly because of the points the guy raised in the video. It's a bit of a double-edged sword. I hate the double dip system used in this expansion where you have to grind dailies for rep then you have to use valor instead of gold to get the items at said rep level.

I've been playing the last 7 weeks after not playing for more than a month since vanilla. In that 7 weeks I've raised eleven characters to max level - one of every class - (one was 85 most of the others from lvl 1), formed a guild 6 weeks ago and got it to lvl 20 with only me in it, earned 80,000 gold just from quest rewards, done the pokemon thing and got over 200 battle pets and done world bosses, heroics and raids until they are coming out of my ears. Oh and raised mining, herbcraft, skinning, alchemy, enchanting, leathworking, jewelcraft and inscription to max (600) from zero.
It is fun. But it's so easy and casual now it's more like a Facebook game than an MMORPG. I wouldn't bet against it going FoP some time in the next year. Not because I think the game is dieing but because I think it would get more players and make even more money. I'll certainly be cancelling my sub at the two month point.

Sorry, but you have a massive amount of time on your hands if you are able to do all that in 7 weeks.

No. Max about six hours a day, 4-5 days a week. It's just that quick and easy to do anything in WoW these days apart from dailies. Quite stupid. They remove the time consuming factor from everything, then make the end game extremely tedious limited dailies to grind rep.
Have you tried leveling or gearing up in the last few months ? Honestly it's stupidly quick.
