It make no sense to me, Med'an is the new Guardian. Thrall sent Earthfury as the shaman representative in the Council so he isn't involved with them right now.

The idea that a gaming magazine would put something like this in print without any confirmation whatsoever from the game developer...
Ugh.
*headdesk*

I thought about that too... but it seems extrange to me that Blizz would kill a character so important (I know some people hate Med'an but he is the Guardian of the new Council) and who hasn't even been in-game (yeah, Aegwynn was never in-game).

So Med'an is already the guardian, which means, conceivably, they could kill him off before Cataclysm release.
If we're looking at a fall release, that's quite a long time for them to drive the story forward.
If they were to kill off a character that they've invested so much in over the past year, it would be a pretty big waste. The only way I would see it happening would be in the later stages of Cataclysm, and even then I don't see Thrall becoming the Guardian. More than likely it would fall to Jaina, Malfurion or, god forbid, Rhonin.
Blizzard loves Thrall, and would probably like to give him an official "the protagonist of Warcraft" type of role. But, they wouldn't forsake the entirety of his storyline by making him the Guardian. For the entirety of Thrall's story, he has been the redeemer of the Orcs and the leader of the Horde (essentially destined at birth and groomed to lead the orcs by Blackmoore). To make Thrall the Guardian of Tirisfal would completely disregard the entirety of his story.

Only one thing to say here: The original rumour of Thrall becoming Guardian was from Somethingawful.com.

Is shamefull to see a prestigious game magazine sink into a filthy tabloid spreading lies that lack any true foundation or actual solid confirmed base.
blizzard just spent thousands of dollars in artists, scriptwriters, and a contract with WCcomics to create over 12 comics that depict the story of Med'an becoming the guardian.
Heck, they even killed off Aegwynn a REALLY important lore figure (even if she hasn't showed up in-game) to establish med'an as the new guardian.
you DON'T spend that much money, and sacrifice important characters, just to blow it all away by making someone else the new guardian.
that would be like spending that money they used to make the 20+ comics that depic varian's (Poor)background, only to put some other dude as king of stormwind.
so, bottom line, Is it true that thrall is the new guardian?
for those that say "yes" I got 5 words for ya.
IT
IS
A
BIG
LIE
why? because blizzard said Med'an is the new guardian, and PC gamer+MMO champion are NOT blizzard.
Edit: besides they killed off Aegwynn on his behalf. Sure, she never appeared in-game...but she was still a fairly important lore figure (thanks for lolotea for pointing this out)
Edit 2: Aww man U_U my uber-awesome /facepalm of hell, it took me hours to
plagiarize
create that thing to express just how embarrasing it is for me to see so many actually believing a false rumor "Again", but oks, rules are rules.

PC Gamers a magazine that leaches off of rumors and spins them to make an article. Its basicly a trash tabloid of a gaming mag.. and I know, I picked up a few being in the uk.
They just took rumors thats been in vent for months now and used that to make an article, and mmo champ jumped on this. Its pretty weak in terms of finding info.
Edit: Hee, something makes me think when seeing that comic Rank, how well you have there, a group of people of all different races and creeds gathered together, in the hopes of stopping a real evil, race and faction not being that issue... meanwhile, in trial of the crusade, you got Varian and Garrosh calling each other names like kiddies.

So a choice between the sueiness of the guardians, or the childishness of garrosh and varian name calling... sometimes, even as a horde fan, I really want to just buy another faction.
wonder if the steamwheedle cartel are opening...

yeah thats one. They've not had an actual faction status in wow yet, so hopefully we're get to see that in cata.

partly true, they DO show up, but are not yet a "Faction" (as in one you can gain rep with and buy stuff from their quartermasters)
but they can be seen and interacted with in-game, you can see them on the throne of elements in nagrand, and also on the anual event of summer festival, and also on a few shaman-exclusive quests.

The only reason I add Malfurion is because I honestly don't see anyone else on the council other than Jaina taking the position. And if someone else did, I would think it'd be a big name like that.
Maybe Khadgar or Aethas Sunreaver, or Archmage Modera or some other crazy Sue the comics cook up.

I don't see how Khadgar or Modera have sue qualities.
I was actually just referring to Med'an with that comment.
