    This is very true, since there is whole lot of other companies than Blizzard at the event and other game announcements. Personally however, the possible expansion announcement would be biggest and greatest news for me, so it is at least little disappointment me if there isn't any. But I am not going to let ruin the whole event for it.

    It's also to get the press ready. For some reason they actually need that.
    Gamescon could be great without an expansion reveal. We could get a new ip or something Warcraft related

    As much as I want it announced at Gamescom, 1 time isn't enough to make it a trend.

    Couple of things:

    - Has anyone been checking for trademarks yet?
    - Have any major WoW media outlets been invited to gamescom by Blizzard? That should be the biggest tell on if they have a major announce coming.

    It's Gamescom. Every gaming media outlet worth a damn is there anyway.

    There's zero information about any of that. We only know dates and hours for opening panels of Gamescom: http://www.gamescom-cologne.com/game...imes/index.php

    But we still need to wait for a detailed schedule.

    But that matters, even if they're EU they have to be given sufficient time to make travel plans. If they have a big reveal of 8.0 lined up you'd expect to know WoW specific outlets to be there, especially streamers. If there's no major WoW streamers going Gamescom hype, there's probably no 8.0 reveal.

    They've got one for each major language (German, France, Russian and FatbossTV from Brexit)

    I laughed at Brexit, thanks Akande.

    Also, I think we won't have the schedule until tomorrow (would be coherent it's a exactly a week before Gamescom starts!). If Friday comes and nothing came up, I guess it will be all about 7.3.

    Also have you guys listened to 7.3 music? I think it's quite good, very opressing/depressing.

    He's still reporting all the WoW news on his website, and I think his partner Zecharia is still playing. And they needed a french blogger I guess.

    Hmm, maybe they will have just Fatboss as an English speaking streamer, but I know Slootbag is going too.
