    I'm a little meh about it all, though in all seriousness if Turalyon and Alleria do return then they had better not end up suffering the fate of neutrality.
    In other words if horde players want access to alliance npcs then they should roll alliance character, just saying.
    Oh and for the love of all that is holy no more Thrall ffs, its seriously getting boring seeing him pop up =/
    Hopefully the Dranei should get some well deserved lore.

Same if they used Arthas, Chen, or even someone like Malfurion (EMERALD DREEMZOMGTOLDYOUSOLOL!). Thrall is the only really "neutral" option they could use that woudln't trigger mountains of rampant speculation.
    Exactly.Even at the Blizzcon itself,the banners outside the building include Thrall,and Diablo (not Mal.....eeeh...maly...the villain from The Reaper of Souls)

    I keep seeing the same things, and thinking, "this can't possibly be true". But then I look at how Cata went, and how I thought the same thing about MoP... Ah well, it's not like I have to play if this actually happens. I'd like a WoW I enjoy, but I'm equally happy spending my gaming time and dollars elsewhere.

    Mists of Pandaria
    The Dark Below (Fake or not)

    None of those follow that type of naming convention. MoP comes close, but 'Mists' is not a group of people, it's just, well, mists.

    I expect WoD to be related to HotS. And I base that entirely off what I said, admittedly pulled out of my ass. So we'll all see in a few days.

    Look! I figured it out! It's the next expansion!

    Uh sorry no, no, and no. Wow is the center of the universe for Blizz now. They aren't going to unveal a new RTS at this crucial moment. They slacked and made some wrong choices with wow. This is their retribution. They give the majority of the fans exactly what they want, and aside from speculation. All we really know that is almost guaranteed at this point is the title.

    Aslong as them fucks dont give us a timetravel expansion. Not even messing with you, I'd flip out.

    Every expansion since... I think Cata? Maybe even Wrath, has had a digital download option. Plus, wouldn't patches be considered part of the downloaded expansion? When has there ever been an expansion that allowed no downloads?

    I'm confused here. WoD is the only trademark that has ever included the non-downloadable part. I'm not so sure about WoD being the expansion anymore. :/
    They're covering all bases. If you look directly before that, it basically just says providing on-line computer games, which could include all the downloadable assets. By adding the non-downloadable part, they may be accounting for the servers (global network). Just a guess though.
    "Believing something is not an accomplishment. The stronger your beliefs are, the less open you are to growth and wisdom, because “strength of belief” is only the intensity with which you resist questioning yourself. Listen to any “die-hard” conservative or liberal talk about their deepest beliefs and you are listening to somebody who will never hear what you say on any matter that matters to them — unless you believe the same. Wherever there is a belief, there is a closed door."

    We don't even know that. Sure, it's a legitimate mark, but is it WoW? It could be a map pack for their DotA clone, for all we know.

    just on the subject of time travel in WoW

    in the past, whenever we have traveled in time it was either:

    a) to prevent the timeline from being altered and ensuring history occured just as it did, thereby justifying lore, not breaking lore
    or
    b) to obtain objects from the past, which had canonically disappeared from history at the moment we 'borrowed them' anyway, there justifying lore, not breaking lore.

    _________________
    May i ask what justification anyone has to assume that if we were to time travel again it would be alter history (which we have never done) instead of to prevent history from being altered (which is what we have always done before)?

    Wouldn't a Map pack be considered a downloadable electrionic thingie? It's not marked on there :/

    No it's only in Heroes & Warlords.

    Predictable boring expansion that means nothing next expansion if we preserve the timeline.

    Usually map packs don't get a trademark.

    So if it is HotS related, what is it? An expansion pack? Because Gamemodes/Maps/Characters don't get trademarks.

    We can no longer ensure everything happens exactly as it did before it was influenced. If Baby Garrosh were to find his way back, he could for all intent's purpose, become his own grandfather because no one would know it wasn't supposed to happen. (And, in turn, it becomes what was supposed to happen.)

    So it creates a situation. Either:

    a) The timeline was always meant to allow for this to happen, and the lore doesn't change. We just get involved, as the timeline was always supposed to allow.
    or
    b) The timeline gets fucked up, which is what the Bronze Dragonflight tried to prevent, but can no longer force themselves to travel to the right time to ensure they can fix it.
    Let's ignore Garrosh. He's not going to be the villain of 2 expansions in a row and the main character of 3 in a row.

    The only likely time plot would be one involving Wrathion. And what possible reason would Wrathion have to go back and screw with the Horde?

    What else could it be? To me Its clearly not Hearthstone or Warcraft(rts). So it has Draenor in the title which means its in the wow universe.
