1. How will we leave after a mission is complete other that Hearthing, Portals, or Teleports. Even those could send us to the location they hearth us too in that current time era. If you have a teleport to Darnassus, you end up on Kalidar or in the middle of the Veiled Sea before Teldrassil was planted.
2. This will seriously whack up lore. I mean, if you go to protect Medivh when he opens the Dark Portal (which most people WOULDN'T want to happen), how can Orcs and Forsaken be there, since they haven't even been on Azeroth yet, in the Forsaken's case, the Undead didn't even exist. Night Elves were only known to exist by the Tauren, the Blood Elves hadn't existed yet, the Draeni were still on Draenor before it was ripped apart, while they were being maimed and slaughtered by the Chaos Orcs.
I feel nothing but hate and rage...

We don't have any information to release on this yet but feel free to speculate at will. Just don't pull anything whilst speculating. We have no lifeguards on duty. ;)

Q u o t e:
What if you go back and end up killing your own grandfather? Augh, the paradoxes!
Sounds so very Quantum Leap to me.

Q u o t e:
You are a fountain of information! Everytime you post an update for us, it's almost like I was at Blizz's offices, reading up on the info myself!
You are much too kind. I know the gushing is a bit much but I'm glad you've been able to handle it so well!

Q u o t e:
I can just see Nethaera running back to the Devs: "Crap, guys, we just screwed up lore in a massive way for the third time!!!"
And the Bronzeflight is obviously pretty powerless when it come to messing with time given all the crap the could have stopped, but never did.
Just because you have the power to affect time doesn't mean you should use it to do so. That's when you start dabbling in the idea of paradoxes. Nozdormu is the keeper of time and holds it all together but that doesn't mean he wants to necessarily meddle in it.
