One of the most well known examples is of course, the penguin. These came from previously digitigrade birds. This chart represents the process. Bears are also an example of facultative bipedalism where they assume an upright posture. Various mustelids also assume an upright posture at times, in which case, they also have a plantigrade stance.
Besides humans and penguins, I know of no obligate upright bipeds, and in those two cases, they're both plantigrades.
This being the case, would it be more likely for anthros to be plantigrade?

In The Burning Crusade intro cinematic we can see that Quel'Thalas has a river valley with farmland on either side, and, unsurprisingly, quite a bit bigger than presented in game. There are also moderate sized outposts or, perhaps, villas, along mountains that also are really represented in game, except perhaps on the side of Zul'Aman and near the Eastern Plaguelands. The yellow glow I interpret as the sun, rather than Quel'Danas in the distance, as when the Blood Elf lady consumes the mana worm, the scene darkens and the glare around the Sun appears reduced, allowing one to see its disc. If one were to give a real life comparison of its size, would Quel'Thalas be about as big as the Korean Penninsula? Iberian Penninsula? It seems rather large from the Eastern Kingdoms map, but how big the Eastern Kingdoms are canonically I think is subject to debate. This leads to the next (or rather, previous) item. In such a large domain, there must have been other cities as large or even larger than Silvermoon, as in many countries the capital is not necessarily the largest city. Could Quel'Thalas also not even be a united polity? Perhaps, some of the Highborne exiles established separate governments, although still nominally loyal to Dathremar Sunstrider, despite not being part of Quel'Thalas proper.

I would like to see more diversity in Quel'Dorei culture. Why must all the buildings be red? Surely there are other cities in the region that decided not to paint ALL their roofs red, and prefer green, or stuck with the original Highborne Blue, but remain part of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and thus part of the Horde. Or maybe, there are those that declared fealty to the line of the Sunstriders, but did not carry their allegiance over to the Regent Lord of Silvermoon, and thus are not part of the Horde?

It was stated somewhere in wiki.gg that Quel'Thalas is the land of eternal spring, an enchantment that is powered by the Sunwell has kept it warm and verdant for many thousands of years. Now that the Sunwell has been diluted, its magics being cancelled by a variety of others, is this enchantment no longer sustainable? Will they have to re-do Quel'Thalas again with the trees and grass representing the new seasons? Also, how will the flora/fauna that have adapted to this eternal spring survive? In the Siesbarg quest it's stated that DNA is in fact, canon (I'll make a separate post about this later), the implications of course are that evolution is real in WoW, and this wildlife, thrust into new and bewildering climes will not be able to survive.

In every WoW expansion, and in the previous Warcraft games, as well as published literature, we've seen or had references to mechanical, electrical, chemical and biological creations. In the Second War, the Gnomes and Dwarves of Khaz Modan successfully resisted the Horde's assault led by Kilrogg, using mines, tanks, and guns to resist the attacks of the Horde. During the Pandaria intro quests, the PC using the weapons on board their faction's respective gunships, kill multitudes of the opposing faction with relative ease. A few other examples of the capabilities of WoW's technological achievements are the many radios we've encountered since even Vanilla, and the powerful clockwork giants on Mechagon Isle that as far as I remember from playing BFA, were difficult opponents.

Blizzard tries to separate technology of our present day with stylistic elements, such as having the airplanes fitted with engines that produce large amounts of smoke and sparks, open canopies and wing arrangements of WW1 biplanes, or turbine engines without visible air inlets (the last can probably be attributed to the artist not knowing how gas turbines work, but nevertheless).
Of course, the time span between the flying machines of WC2 and our present day is similar to that between the biplanes of WW1 and some of the first supersonic jet fighters of the Cold War, such as the Soviet Mig-19 and American F-100. On this subject, there actually are quite wacky airplane designs in reality that would fit in game. The XF5U "flying flapjack" and the Yak-38 with its separate VTOL lift jets look like something a Goblin would have thought up.

With this in mind, what methods would Blizzard be advised to use to start giving Azeroth's setting technological continuity and refining its representation by making the world actually have progression, rather than being stuck trying to justify footmen with swords and shields being easily mowed down by goblin shredders and gunships. How do the Alliance and Horde update their infantry kit to deal with the modern weapons that we've seen the Horde and Alliance field against each other?
