A New Discovery and a Bold Move

Ryan stayed logged into the game, idly browsing the forums of the other factions to check their progress. To his quiet satisfaction, not a single race had managed to clear their first official dungeon. Naturally, this only emboldened the human players, who flooded the boards with smug taunts. In response, players from every other faction seemed to unite—if only in their shared disdain for humanity.

"This is going to be a problem," Ryan muttered, scratching his head with a grimace. "The Dark Horde factions, fine, whatever. But why are the Night Elves and Dwarves piling on, too? If we ever need cross-faction cooperation for joint quests, we're just setting ourselves up for isolation."

He scrolled through a few more threads, then figured enough time had passed. Time to get back to work.
