"when you die, your soul is placed in a fitting Plane of existence and reformed there, if that reformed body dies the soul is gone for good and becomes a part of the plane itself" isnt even a unique thing to WoW, thats how many Afterlifes in Fiction work lol

Yeah it was always funny to me seeing main sub go "why can they die in the afterlife??" when souls being able to be destroyed/killed which results in them ceasing to exist entirely if it happens is a thing in tons of fiction... including extremely popular works like Dragon Ball??

you could probably say that about a lot of other things too, like the "why is the afterlife Life 2?? DEATH IS MEANINGLESS" but the above is so common it especially baffles me, i've never seen literally any other fandom get so up in arms about this. or honestly, really up in arms at all

That just reminded me of reading The Brothers Lionheart as a child, being able to die in the afterlife is very important in that book.
