The reason for my earlier post was to point out this thread has no point. Warcraft and Starcraft are based on ridiculously common concepts in western society that aren't AT ALL hard to think off. It's similar to Sc2Mapster's Mapcraft vs TeamLiquid's Mapcraft. The reason I was never fussed by their show's name is because let's face it: "Mapcraft" is a name anyone who plays StarCraft could come up with. I don't think TL 'stole' our name, they just came to the same name when thinking things through.
It's the same story here. Warcraft's Orcs are based on mythological Orcs from writings from 18th century romanticists, who in turn based their Orcs on writings of 7-12th century monks who had copied old Roman stories who in turn 'stole' their Orcs from the ancient Greek society. And I doubt they 'originally' came up with it either. The reason these "X stole Y from Z" debates are pointless when it comes to simple mythological creatures is because all of these things are literally centuries old, and it's all a ripoff anyway.
