It is in the game, duh.

I’m suffering in the sight of that tabard.

[X] Doubt

There’s no other match for this transmog. I am sorry.

Wimbert-die-aldor · October 31, 2019, 8:08pm

I really don’t know what they could show tomorrow that would seriously annoy me. I feel like I#m already expecting the worst concerning the story. And… if the feck up the gameplay… they might actually kill WoW, so I don’t think they’ll do that this time.

Well… I guess they might actually announce a new class and a continuation of ARs, that might slightly annoy me, but… not really in a big way…

I don’t know if I’m being optimistic or just jaded, but either way, I think it works.

Redemption for Sylvanas?
A new faction war??
TIME TRAVEL???

Jabjan-die-aldor · October 31, 2019, 8:10pm

I have red wine, rum, chocolate and crisps. I am fully prepared for any fallout.

Wimbert-die-aldor · October 31, 2019, 8:12pm

Sounds like it would give me a good laugh.

I really can’t even imagine that. I guess it would be bad, but… I just get “Wimbert.exe has stopped working”, when I try to think about it.

I’d actually like that.

Dainara-draenor · October 31, 2019, 8:13pm

Anything but a revamped Northrend and I’m good.

I hated WotLK.

Jabjan-die-aldor · October 31, 2019, 8:20pm

Not against the idea of revamping zones. But not for the summary of an entire expansion. We need an entire new continent. Not a recycled one.

Ralrush-steamwheedle-cartel · October 31, 2019, 9:03pm

So what happens when all of Azeroth’s landmasses are revealed and there’s nothing left?

Jabjan-die-aldor · October 31, 2019, 9:05pm

Shadowlands, the dimensions of void and light, K’aresh. There could still be much to come. Even outside of Azeroth.

Beshird-draenor · October 31, 2019, 9:08pm

Whatever happens tomorrow, the salt must flow.

Haiete-argent-dawn · October 31, 2019, 9:09pm

Then they will have to create new lore and possibly retcon some things.

But we all know that’s a threshold Blizzard won’t cross.

Daelinna-argent-dawn · October 31, 2019, 10:31pm

Then they’ll just shrink the in-game map and come up with a new landmass that nobody has ever seen before for reasons. They did it for Pandaria, they did it for the Broken Isles, they did it for Mechagon, they’ll do that again.

Ralrush-steamwheedle-cartel · November 1, 2019, 6:31am

I can see the logic in that, but where does it end? I’m curious and a little worried; the model of “add a new place” has to have an eventual limit, right?

Keydiam-die-aldor · November 1, 2019, 9:58am

How about we start to colonize a new planet (for some reason) only to realize that the world is already inhabited and we have several new expansions on a new world?!

FF14 also got bored with its old world and decided, “You know? Screw this let’s visit a new one!” (Okay it was not like that.)

Wimbert-die-aldor · November 1, 2019, 10:06am

We have more than half of Azeroth still left to explore, considering the fact that there is a backside. We can travel between worlds, and have seen glimpses of a few of them. We can travel in time, and see new old versions of current zones. We can travel through dimensions and see alternate versions of the same worlds. We have a few magic dimensions like Ny’alotha and the elemental planes. We have space-faring vessels.

We’ll run out of interest in WoW long before we run out of ideas to expand it. That’s a strength of the horrible genre mix-up: They can really do about anything.

Ralrush-steamwheedle-cartel · November 1, 2019, 10:37am

Your answers make me feel less worried.

Wimbert-die-aldor · November 1, 2019, 10:46am

Well, that makes one of us…

Ralrush-steamwheedle-cartel · November 1, 2019, 10:48am

Ha ha! Cheer up, man. At least there’s the probability that there will continue to be original content in the future, as you guys predicted. Perhaps BfA has disappointed us in some ways, but things could always turn around for future xpacs, right?
