What Blizzard's looming convention may have in store for WoW

World of Warcraft: Next expansion to be anounced at BlizzCon?

Oh dear, another one... guess they have to continue feeding the cash cow.

Anyway, hope it makes the WoW fans happy.

Some of the new features will include:

A new super EPIC casual mode dubbed - "GIEF EPIXX NOWZ!!1". Just smack them loot pinatas, err Epic Raid Bosses, till the loot spews out! = WIN! Daily Quests.

New ingame item for all of you that are a little cash strapped - The Booty Bay Credit Card! Need that item but can't be arsed to get the gold yourself, or just sick of begging in your Capital city - PLZTHX!? Well this is for you! They are available in Copper, Silver, Gold all for a nominal monthly fee! Just remember to ask mom and dad first.

The all new Elitist Lockout Feature - Sick of all them new players, I mean NOOOOBZZ! LOL!!1 in your Raid / PvP? Well now all you need to do is unlock these handy Achievements!

LOLZOR NUB L2P: Call people any derivative of noob, nub, or the like either in a Raid or in PvP 50 000 times within a 2 month period. Doing so in any chat program will also count to the total (Ventrilo or Teamspeak).

WTF!! LEARN teh strategie!!!1: Lose absolutely ALL composure for 10 minutes when in a Raid or PvP when dealing with a new player(s) that you have never grouped with. Extra points if you are an Guild Leader, Raid Leader, or an Officer. Just like with the previous Achievement, this can be earned over Ventrilo or Teamspeak as well as ingame chat.

Murmurs of "The Emerald Dream" have been around for a while

Wouldn't surprise me if this expansion is the end game of WoW.

tehnihilist, I guess you play on the European servers?

On www.mmorpg.com once a user posted a list of all the expansions planned for WoW, as well as their release dates, where they will be set etc. I'm trying to find it again, but so far the past two released minus their release dates have been spot on.

From what I can remember, if said user is correct, the next expansion will be sea-based. The addition of swimming mounts could very well play testament to this fact...

From what I've heard, though, it appears it will be called Cataclysm...which ever it is =P

tehnihilist, I guess you play on the European servers?

Played on US and EU extensively. Both over time become cesspools filled with elitist impatient people.

Also never mind the knock-on effect that WoW has had on the greater MMORPG community... A flood of these people now invading all the other MMOs as they bore with WoW. They then infect their new MMO community. Also now developers try to WoW-ify the genre.

Lol, I guess it's fate:

The funny thing was:

That user posted it in 2003 He was off by a couple places/level zones, but has been incredibly accurate for a guess a year before vanilla was released
