Why was it so hard to hate (and thus squash) these damn ponies? Especially when they wavered between adorable and annoying? Curse the Titans for sticking the dragonflights with [[Weaksauce Weakness|such a stupid weakness]].|'''Pretty much what would you expect from ponies'''.}}
[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7063283/1/World_of_Ponycraft World Of Ponycraft] by Cap'n Chryssalid is the recently finished (as of 07-29-11) telling the story of Azeroth. Specifically when the [[Big Bad|Dragon Aspect Deathwing the Destroyer ]] awakened after his eons long sleep, his damaged body finally reconstructed from being near torn apart after the Titanic fight between the Dragon Aspects. Bringing with him a wave of destruction of [[Apocalypse How|apocalyptic levels]], sundering the world again, killing untold millions and undoing the most ancient and powerful spells on the planet.
Woes for him, he succeded to the point of [[Gone Horribly Right|removing even his own millenary spell, which he managed to contain the pony race]]. Now free (forced) to join the races of Azeroth, the powerful but kind equine race must adapt to a new world, new races and new loot right at their hoofs.
Also, it is not a Crossover with the World of Warcraft the world. It's a crossover with the [[World of Warcraft]] the [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]].

{{tropelist}}
* [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality]]: Between the intersection of surprisingly emotionally charged storytelling and [[Deep-Immersion Gaming|standard MMO mechanics that completely screw with it]], and the fact that both sides of the crossover are rather known for their warped senses of humor, expect to be ready to nod and go along with it a few times a chapter. By the time you get around to the reveal that Celestia and Luna {{spoiler|have alts in the Cutie Mark Crusaders guild}} you'll probably be game to just roll with the loony.
* [[Adventurer Archaeologist]]: Twilight Sparkle.
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of role playing gaming and self insert fic. Probably.
* [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]]: Changing races is casually done to the shock of Twilight. One way to know if a pony had always been a pony is if they use more their hoof or their mouth.
* [[
* [[Amazon Brigade]]: [[Captain Obvious|The mane cast]].
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Twilight Sparkle and lesser extent Rarity {{spoiler|Voidhorn, A.K.A Night Sky is a fallen version of this}}.
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: This had become fast Twilight favorite spell or at least the most used.
* [[Beleaguered Assistant]]: Morning Star. Most of the Royal ponies, who had gone from defenders of the realms to [[Mr. Exposition]] / quest givers to Dungeon Crawlers. They are not amused.
* [[Boom Town]]: Ponyville had become this barely a couple of months after Neltharion.
* [[Call Back]]: Rocky from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Twilight decided to fight Trixie to shut her up. Trixie had actually been adventuring and taking levels while Twilight had passed her time studying archeology. The results were not pretty.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Rarity's powers.
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: The cheapest, it is based on ''World of Warcraft'' after all. In the prologue Deathwing wipes out Ponyville (except Rainbow Dash, who was flying overhead) and Princess Celestia resurrects them all (except Applejack who was rezzed by a passing Dwarf with jumper cables). Later, during one of the first boss battles, Rainbow Dash is killed and almost immediately rezzed by Fluttershy. And in the second to last chapter {{spoiler|the entire party is killed}}
* [[Deep-Immersion Gaming]]: Played with. The world function ''exactly'' as the MMORPG, down to the levels, quest, forums, bosses and loot. [[MST3K Mantra|It's better if you'd don't think too deeply about this]].
* [[Druid]]: Fluttershy.
* [[Elite Mooks]]: Blood Driver, Catnip and Sniffles and Gull act like this for the Cult, each with different level of power.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The Elder Gods, whom had infested the ranks of the Cult and where {{spoiler|the ones who created Nightmare Moon in the first place}}.
* [[Expy]]: As explained by Twilight
{{quote|The knights of Luna was led by a murderous, undead version of a gender swapped Pinkie Pie.
Line 47:
His Title was '''''The Insane.'''''
[[Captain Obvious|That probably wasn't a good thing.]] }}
* [[Fluffy the Terrible]]: Catnip and Sniffles. A mad sociopathic pony and her slaved tortured manticore.
* [[It Gets Easier]]: [[Fridge Horror|Killing and fighting had become second Nature for the mane cast around half of the story... against another ponies]].
** Weirdly, could also be said for [[Death Is Cheap|dying.]] Dash and Pinkie are big PvP'ers and die all the time, and Applejack's warrior trainer specifically warns her ahead of time that as a tank, dying isn't a matter of "if" so much as "how often". When a [[Total Party Kill]] happens and everyone's in various degrees of freaking out due to being dead, the three of them take it in mild irritation, embarrassment at having caused the wipe, and admirable stride respectively.
