Talk: Rune of DOOM

The trivia section contained a large amount of DOOM trivia, which I purged. We're a fansite for Guild Wars - not for DOOM. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:13, 4 March 2007 (CST)

Then don't have any speculation to it being related to Doom. -- Tarun 16:44, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

From article page

While the title may suggest a reference to the FPS game, Doom; The Icons logo appears to be a reference to the World of Warcraft MMORPG for the Insignia of the Horde, as NOTHING in the Doom series looks like the same Logo used in the Rune of DOOM.

Do not refute existing content in the article itself, It confuses readers and makes no sense. As far as this opinion, I am against it. The Horde icon looks NOTHING like the rune of DOOM. Not even close. However, if you can present proof, please go ahead and provide it here, don't go putting it back in the article and confusing the readers. --Karlos 03:24, 11 March 2007 (CDT)

There are a lot of similarities in the appearance. Hard to believe it can't be seen. -- Tarun 16:48, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

Comparison: http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/6080/hordeofdoommv4.jpg it is clearly very identical... a lot more identical then stating that "since it ends with "Of DOOM" it "might" be a reference to the FPS game Doom." and I have to agree with Nog64, not everything in this game is a reference to something else.. Especially a suffix as common as "Of DOOM".... "Hey... does this mean Indiana Jones and the Temple Of DOOM is a reference to the game Doom?... NO." -- Replicant

of Doom vs DOOM, note the casing. — Skuld 17:24, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

"Doom (or DOOM)[1] is a 1993 computer game by id Software that is among the landmark titles in the first-person shooter genre." - Wikipedia:Doom. I'd say it's kind of hard to disprove his fact. Oh, note the casing of Doom in both instances on Wikipedia.  :) -- Tarun 17:47, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

Well, the history of ANet helps as well. I mean they DID split from Blizzard, but I don't know how mellow of a split it was. They could hate WoW for all we know.--Nog64Talk 17:23, 30 March 2007 (CDT)
