The Next Xpac: Theorycraft, hoooo!

True.. I dare not imagine how some gear will look on the new models I mean it's sometimes already bad now with hairstyles on some gear let alone on say worgen or so...

I have absolutely no idea what's coming in the expansion after Dreanor. It's everybody's game to guess.

Something something ships seems to be something a lot of people would enjoy, so we might see that maybe....? Maaaaaaybeeee.........?

Kul-Tiras, South Seas, and whatever is left of Zandalar? Personally I'm burned out on troll lore, after the resurgence of the trolls during late Cataclysm and the Zandalari uprising during the Throne of Thunder arcs, but there are probably a lot of things to do out in the briny deeps.

@Rend: A language barrier would be easily overcome, if we go by current examples of faction-wide languages. If Trolls, Tauren, and Forsaken (specifically, their primary language post-revival being common) can learn orcish; and the Draenei as an extra-terrestrial race can acclimatise to common; then an amalgam of neutral races should be able to sort out a common language.

And for our next expansion, I would prefer we take the lore far far far -FAR- away from orcs. I love orcs, but enough already, please.

Oh you perv you.

Whenever a robe-wearing dwarf sits down, you get to stare into oblivion. Anything would be better.

Too bad Cataclysm already wrecked most of Azeroth/happened just one expansion ago, otherwise they could do something crazy, like let Garrosh succeed in creating The Iron Horde by the end of the expansion. They would then cause havoc all around our world and destroy each capital from both factions, along with other more or less important locations.

This whole thing would lead to players retreating out to sea/another planet in search of refugee and discovering new (playable) races to help them and so forth. Then...then...eh, think I'll stop there before getting too ridiculous.

There's still plenty of other reasonable things that could happen. I remember people were always speculating that next xpacs were going to focus on the Emerald Dream, so we could get that. Or maybe an xpac focused solely on the Burning Legion again or the titans.

Think the emerald dream thing got kinda fixed sort of least in a book or something, so bit doubt much for that.

Gief Emerald dream expansion plox. It have to happen sometime.

Wasn't Emerald dream/nightmare thing fixed in the Malfurion book?
It was hardly ever a thing in-game. It was small tells here and there that some shit was wrong and corrupted.

Give Queen Azshara and Sargeras. Screw boring dreams that are only important to druids.

I've not read any wow books, so I've got no idea. I don't even know where to get 'em from plus they prob cost too much.
Also! Emerald dream would be awesome. Druid or not!

The corruption in the Emerald Dream was largely contained to a small corner in the Stormrage book. Unless they suddenly de-canonize that, I'd say there's nothing in there that warrants our attention. Maybe as a raid instance, at most.

Burning Legion expansion, damnit.

I never understand what excites people about Emerald Dream/Nightmare.

And yes. Burning Legion! (And Azhara and finnishing the Naga storyline!)

Most of the older ones are extremely cheap off Amazon.

And some you can sometimes *cough*

THE DARK BELOW IS REAL.

BELIEVE.

Yep, amazon.co.uk is your friend.

Yeeaaa.. When you've got moneys. And I don't! Plus I'm not sure if those amazon dudes is in denmark

I would definetly enjoy a more darkly themed expansion as well. Not in the sense of "war is hell and everyone dies, omygod apocalypse, yada yada" but more spooky/twisted/scary type of dark. Let us visit down there in Ny'alotha with a way more creepy Vashj'ir-like underwater world surrounding it!

No they are in the UK, so they ship to you costum-free. I'm in Denmark and I buy from them all the time.

Edit: When all else fails, there is the occassionally quite expensive Saxo.com, which is danish.

Blizz did state that Emerald dream wouldn't give enough content for a full expansion

Gul'dan retreats back in time to the war of the ancients and gives the Burning Legion new weapons and becomes the Iron Burning Legion. Features include seeing the world tree, fighting Mannoroth, fighting archimonde, finding the dragon soul, seeing Tyrande and malfurion 10,000 years younger as well as Illidan running around.

Boo we've done all that before.

"Next" expansion won't focus on Gnomes and that means that the expansion won't fucking matter.
