Yeah, we seem to have some agreeing with
http://this thread while some point to the timelines on the official WoW sites for guidance. While I can see that the official timeline would be the first to agree with it seems to me that is overlooks a lot of things, wouldn´t the one mentioned first (posted by Killachipmunk) be better since it mentions all the RPG, books and etc?
I think I found where Killachipmunk got most of his info there is an unofficial Timeline on wowpedia.org it is "based on all sources of information, and all versions of the timeline. May not be consistent with the latest official timeline."
Link to the time line
Personally, I've always followed the unofficial one, since it, like you said Nostra, takes all sources into account.
Aye, I've been going with the unofficial one. The official one seems rather poor if useful at all.
